CAD Siting Criteria Technical considerations (Average) 1. Technical feasibility (CAD construction) 2. CAD Construction Cost 3. Area available for CAD (square footage) 4. Operational efficiency (during use of the CAD) 5. Influences on cap integrity 6. Land title Environmental/Habitat/Fisheries (Average) 7. Mapped shellfish beds 8. Water Quality (MEDEP rating) 9. Tidal Wading Bird Waterfowl Habitat 10. Lobster fishery (greater the effort the lower the score) Permitting/Public Feedback/Public Uses (Average) 11. State and Federal Agency feedback 12. Public uses (proximity to residential/recreational uses) 13. Public feedback 14. Navigational impacts (Federal Channel, moorage…) Scoring Stakeholder Meeting July 18, 2016
