The overall project will widen I–64 for approximately 15.93 kilometer (km) (9.9 miles) along I–64 from Settlers Landing Road in Hampton, Virginia to the I–64/ I–564 interchange in Norfolk, Virginia. The project will create an eight-lane facility with six consistent use lanes. The project will include full replacement of the North and South Trestle Bridges, two new parallel tunnels constructed using a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), expansion of the existing portal islands, and widening of the Willoughby Bay Trestle Bridges, Bay Avenue Trestle Bridges, and Oastes Creek Trestle Bridges. Also, upland portions of I–64 will be widened to accommodate the additional lanes, the Mallory Street Bridge will be replaced, and the I–64 overpass bridges will be improved. The planned activities below are part of the overall project (see the application for additional details on the overall project). Only the activities relevant to the IHA requested by HRCP are discussed below. This includes the following components: D TBM Platform at the South Island; D Conveyor Trestle at the South Island; D Temporary trestles for jet grouting at the South Island; D Temporary trestle for bridge construction at the North Shore; D Mooring piles at the South Trestle (located at the South Island), North Island, and Willoughby Bay; and D Installation and removal of piles for test pile program. Pile installation methods will include impact and vibratory driving, jetting, and drilling with a down-the-hole (DTH) hammer. Pile removal techniques for temporary piles will include vibratory pile removal or cutting below the mud line. Installation of steel pipe piles could be 24-, 36-, or 42-inches (in) in diameter to support temporary work trestles, platforms, and moorings. Test piles would consist of 30-in square concrete or 54-in concrete cylinder piles. Only load test piles will be removed under this IHA. In-water pile installation using impact and vibratory driving, and drilling with a DTH hammer, and pile removal using a vibratory hammer, have the potential to harass marine mammals acoustically and could result in incidental takes of individual marine mammals. Jetting is not likely to result in take. The HRCP is working with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and Federal and state agencies to advance the design, approvals, and Dates and Duration Work could occur at any point during the year, and will occur during the day. Pile installation may extend into request, the incidental, but not intentional, taking of small numbers of marine mammals by U.S. citizens who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specified geographical region if certain findings are made and either regulations are issued or, if the taking is limited to harassment, a notice of a proposed incidental take authorization may be provided to the public for review. Under the MMPA, ‘‘take’’ is defined as meaning to harass, hunt, capture, or kill, or attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill any marine mammal. Authorization for incidental takings shall be granted if NMFS finds that the taking will have a negligible impact on the species or stock(s) and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock(s) for taking for subsistence uses (where relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe the permissible methods of taking and other ‘‘means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact’’ on the affected species or stocks and their habitat, paying particular attention to rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of similar significance, and on the availability of such species or stocks for taking for certain subsistence uses (referred to in shorthand as ‘‘mitigation’’); and requirements pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring and reporting of such takings are set forth. The definitions of all applicable MMPA statutory terms cited above are included in the relevant sections below. Summary of Request On September 18, 2019, NMFS received a request from the HRCP for an IHA to take marine mammals incidental to impact and vibratory pile driving activities associated with the HRBT, in Hampton and Norfolk, Virginia for one year from the date of issuance. The application was deemed adequate and complete on February 4, 2020. The HRCP request is for take of a small number of five species of marine mammals by Level A and B harassment. Neither the HRCP nor NMFS expects injury, serious injury or mortality to result from this activity and, therefore, an IHA is appropriate. The planned activities are part of a larger project and the applicant has requested rulemaking and a letter of authorization for the other components of this project.
