The dolphins would be located perpendicular to the end of the proposed barge transfer bridge to moor barges at the facility. 6.Remove from below the MHW two exiting mooring dolphins each comprised of two 16-inch diameter batter piles and one 24-inch diameter vertical piles. 7. Remove from below the MHW three existing 12-inch diameter piles. 8. Work would include relocating the existing approach ramp seaward of the HTL and MHW to integrate the structure into the proposed facility.
