<br />approximately 5,000-foot-Iong section of the levee on levee segments 1, II and
<br />VIII (Amendment No. Six);
<br />
<br />1:. Temporarily install a 'silt fence and fiber roll one foot landward of the high

<br />
<br />m. Conduct on-going, in-kind repair and maintenance of the pathway and
<br />associated improvements authorized herein (Amendment No. Six).
<br />
<br />B. This amended authority is generally pursuant to and limited by the original application
<br />filed on June 21, 1996, your letter dated March 20, 1997 requesting Amendment No. One, your
<br />letter dated January 27,2000 requesting Amendment No. Two, your letter dated August 30,
<br />2002 requesting Amendment No. Three, aR4 your letter dated July 15, 2008 requesting
<br />Amendment No. Five, and your letter dated October 6,2009 requesting Amendment No. Six,
<br />including all accompanying and subsequent correspondence and exhibits, but subject to the
<br />modifications required by conditions hereto. A request for Amendment No. Four to this
<br />amended permit, dated July 5, 2006 and received on July 6, 2006, has remained incomplete and
<br />thus unfiled since that timc and, ~ has yet to be issued.
<br />
<br />C. Work originally authorized herein was required to commence prior to November 1,
<br />1997, or the original permit would have lapsed and become null and void. Such work was also
<br />to be diligently prosecuted to completion, and was to be completed by September 1, 1999,
<br />unless an extension of time was granted by amendment of this permit. Amendment No. Two
<br />granted an extension of completion time, until September 1, 2002, of permission to complete the
<br />levee improvements originally authorized herein. Amendment No. Two did not authorize an
<br />extension of completion time for any public access improvements. Work authorized in
<br />Amendment No. Three, was to commence prior to November 1, 2003 and be diligently
<br />prosecuted to completion within one year or by November 1, 2004, whichever was earlier.
<br />Public access along 300 feet of levee segment II shall be closed for not more than two months as
<br />,a result of performing the improvements authorized under Amendment No. Three; other work
<br />associated with Amendment No. Three shall not result in any public access closures. Work
<br />authorized in Amendment No. Six must commence prior to January 1, 2012, or this permit will
<br />lapse and become null and void. Such work must also be diligently pursued to completion and
<br />must be completed within two years of commencement, or by January 1, 2014, whichever is
<br />earlier, unless an extension of time is granted by further amendment of this amended permit.
<br />In-kind replacement or maintenance of authorized facilities, as limited by Special Condition lI-
<br />D herein, is authorized in pcrpctuity for as long as the improvements authorized herein remain.
<br />
<br />D. The project will result in closing on an interim basis, which shall be reviewed every
<br />three years, approximately 2.2 miles of existing levee access and routing that access inland. The
<br />trail rerouting meets concerns raised by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) that the
<br />project minimize potential impacts to the endangered California Clapper Rail and Salt Marsh
<br />Harvest Mouse and associated habitat. The access to substitute for former levee access will be
<br />continuous, will provide four observation points to view the Bay and adjoining marshes, and
<br />will border open space (primarily diked seasonal wetlands). Amendment No. One primarily
<br />authorizes modifications necessary to bring the amended permit into accord with the provisions
