USCG. If applicable, include timelines in this PA associated with mitigation measures and the approval process for accepting the floodplain net rise. [Add those additional steps and timelines here] FORB Take ownership of the existing bridge or sign a contract or lease agreement with BNSF Provide reasonable assurance that the following will be obtained: Pedestrian access to rail ROW Maintenance fund for the existing bridge (if applicable) Commented [SSC3]: Need to add mitigation measures and approval steps here, including timeframes associated with that process Funding for pedestrian bridge conversion Document steps and timelines in this PA associated with obtaining the above listed items. FORB and SHPO SHPO, with assistance from FORB, nominates BNSF Bridge 0038-196.6A to the NRHP and FORB initiates fundraising campaign for conversion of BNSF Bridge 0038-196.6A to pedestrian use as described in their Feasibility Report. Include steps in this PA documenting the timeline associated with nominating the bridge to the NRHP. BNSF Secure additional ROW Protect water intake/water plant Include steps in this PA documenting the timeline associated with the above listed steps. FORB and BNSF Develop cost share agreement for additional costs to construct the alternative that retains the existing bridge Develop a hold harmless agreement for BNSF Include steps in this PA documenting the timeline associated with the above listed steps. Commented [CW4]: I would expect that multiple considerations for mitigation would have to be considered in addition to preserving a remnant of the existing structure. The loss of this bridge would be of a high magnitude and the mitigation would have to commensurate to the loss. Typical mitigation examples are wide ranging:
USCG. 46 CFR 16 requires chemical testing for dangerous drugs for individuals who possess a license and operate a vessel. The Launch Captain position requires such licenses to operate the launch and thus must comply with the USCG regulations, which provide for pre-employment, periodic (in conjunction with physical examination required under the regulations), serious marine incident, reasonable cause and random chemical drug testing. Recognizing that the Launch Captain position with its one incumbent is the only position known to be covered by these regulations, Company is proposing to include the Launch Captain be incorporated into the Drug-free Pipeline Program to allow for non-discriminatory treatment under the provisions of the program, namely random testing. In its initial discussions with the Coast Guard, they have indicated a favorable response to utilizing another program to assure compliance as long as the provisions of the program are the same. September 15, 1994 If you are in agreement with the foregoing and agree thereto, please so indicate in the space provided below and return one executed copy of this letter to the Company.

USCG. Lead the consultation to develop the MOA (Stipulation VIII) that will detail mitigation measures needed to resolve any adverse effects. First draft of the MOA is due to Consulting Parties no later than 30 days after the ACHP signs and executes this PA, and consultation meetings will occur within 60 days. • Prepare a determination of eligibility for the Bismarck Bridge approaches prior to issuing the draftfinal environmental impact statement and submit said determination to the SHPO for concurrence. If the approaches are found to be eligible for the NRHP, effects to them and any mitigation, if necessary, will be addressed in the in the MOA (see Stipulation VIII.C.). • Identify a vibration APE for construction activities and distribute to other consulting parties. FORB • Establish a Bridge Advisory Committee (BAC) to consider how the new bridge could be visually compatible with the Bismarck Bridge and its landscape, setting, and viewshed. The role of the BAC would be limited to advice and comment on aesthetic issues and would not involve input on the engineering. The BAC may include representatives from the SHPO, FORB, North Dakota State Water Commission, BNSF, Bismarck Historic Preservation Commission, and tribes. After receiving BNSF’s information on bridge design, the BAC The BAC will present their initial recommendations to the USCG no later than 60 days prior to the USCG publishing the draft environmental impact statement for public comment so their recommendations can be included in the draft environmental impact statement. • Establish a public private partnership or other governance body that could accept ownership of the Bismarck Bridge and other responsibilities listed in the following table section. FORB will have 30 45 days from ACHP signature on and execution of this PA to identify a public partner with a commitment toand establish a working formal partnership, and to inform the USCG of this partnership. • Submit to the USCG a conceptual plan to identify how funds will be raised and funding sources for all costs associated with the project to retain the bridge and convert it to a non-rail use by the close of the draft environmental impact statement public comment period. Public Private Partnership • Draft a contract or lease agreement with BNSF to take ownership of or become the lessee for the existing bridge within 60 days of the USCG publishing the final environmental impact statement.

USCG. The USCG’s interest in environmental technology innovation is manifested through a variety of applied research efforts directly supporting its Marine Safety and Environmental Protection Program. Performed through the USCG Research and Development Center in Groton, CT at the request of Headquarters programs, this work has traditionally been in the areas of pollution prevention technology, oil and hazardous material spill response technology, and environmental compliance for USCG controlled and regulated vessels and facilities. To implement the National Invasive Species Act of 1996 (NISA), the USCG has added invasive species to its areas of research, with an initial focus on fostering the development of ballast water treatment technologies for shipboard installation. A number of potential ballast water treatment technologies are being investigated worldwide by government, industry, academic and non-governmental interests. Included in this list are filtration, hydrocyclonic separation, and chemical and physical biocides (i.e. ozone, chlorine, ultraviolet radiation heat treatment, and vacuum). However, none of these has yet been proven to be effective in a shipboard application, and the absence of standards and protocols by which to evaluate new technologies complicates development efforts. The USCG is interested in participating in a program that will lead to the development of protocols for testing and evaluating proposed ballast water treatment systems. The collaborative projects initiated under this MOA will be mutually beneficial and will result in the verification of environmental technologies that will be used to enhance environmental protection.
USCG. The USCG exercises regulatory authority over LNG facilities which affect the safety and security of port areas and navigable waterways under E.O. 10173, the Xxxxxxxx Act (50 U.S.C. § 191), the Ports and Waterways Safety Act of 1972, as amended (33 U.S.C. § 1221, et seq.) and the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 U.S.C. Section 701). The USCG is responsible for matters related to navigation safety, vessel engineering and safety standards, and all matters pertaining to the safety of facilities or equipment located in or adjacent to navigable waters up to the last valve immediately before the receiving tanks. The USCG also has authority for LNG facility security plan review, approval and compliance verification as provided in Title 33 CFR Part 105, and siting as it pertains to the management of vessel traffic in and around the LNG facility.
