ITEM 4: PERMITTING AND APPROVALS Based on the RFP, Matrix anticipates the following permits and approvals will be required for the project: Letter Of Interpretation (LOI) Application In order to obtain state confirmation of the field delineated limits of jurisdictional wetlands within the boundary of the site, Matrix will prepare and submit to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Land Resource Protection an application for a Letter of Interpretation (LOI) to verify the extent of wetlands, open waters, and wetland transition areas on the site. The LOI application will be prepared in accordance with the Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act Rules in effect as of the date of this proposal. Once issued, the LOI will remain valid for a period of five years from the date of issuance. FIXED FEE: $4,500.00 NJDEP Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act Permit Application As noted within the request for proposals (RFP), proposed improvements will likely require state approval of multiple Statewide General Permits under the Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act Rules. Permits may include minor outfalls and intake structures (GP 11), Trails and Boardwalks (GP 17) Docks and piers (GP 19), bank stabilization (GP 20), above ground utility lines (GP 21), and minor channel or stream cleaning for government agencies (GP 25). As such, Matrix will prepare and electronically submit to NJDEP an application for up to six (6) Statewide General Permit under a single permit application submission. Also, if required, Matrix will include an application for a transition area waiver to allow minor encroachments into the wetland transition areas. The application will be prepared and submitted consistent with the requirements set forth within the Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act Rules in effect as of the date of this proposal. It is assumed that the proposed activities will comply with the requirements of the Statewide General Permit program and transition area waivers. Therefore, an individual wetlands permit will not be required and is excluded from this scope of work. It is also assumed that the disturbance to the wetlands/waters will not require mitigation. FIXED FEE: $18,500.00 NJDEP Flood Hazard Area (FHA) Individual Permit Application (if required) As noted within the RFP, the site is subject to a 300 foot wide Riparian Zone regulated under the New Jersey

D FEE: $18,500.00 NJDEP Flood Hazard Area (FHA) Individual Permit Application (if required) As noted within the RFP, the site is subject to a 300 foot wide Riparian Zone regulated under the New Jersey Flood Hazard Area Control Act. Additionally, based on a review of available background mapping, a portion of the site is located within the flood hazard area of a tributary to the Passaic River. If desired improvements are proposed within the flood hazard area or riparian zone of Crystal Lake do not meet FHACA Permit-by-Rule criteria, then prior NJDEP approval pursuant to the Flood Hazard Area Control Act Rules (N.J.A.C. 7:13) will be required. Therefore, if needed, under this item Matrix will prepare and electronically submit to NJDEP an application for a flood hazard area individual permit. The application will be prepared and submitted consistent with the requirements set forth within the Flood Hazard Area Control Act Rules (Rules) in effect as of the date of this proposal. The flood hazard area design flood elevation will be determined using the higher of either Method 1 (DEP Flood Study) or Method 3 (FEMA fluvial method) as outlined in the Rules. It is assumed that activities within regulated areas will comply with the requirements of the Rules. Therefore, an application for a hardship exception from any portion of the Rules is excluded from this scope of work. It is also assumed that disturbance to regulated areas will not exceed any threshold requiring mitigation. FIXED FEE: $19,500.00 7
