The project was constructed in three phases and the analysis will account for the phased construction. Furthermore, the report will compare the project performance to the stated design. Plots of the survey profiles, and graphical representations of volumetric and shoreline positions for the monitoring area will be presented. Summary tables of the shoreline and volumetric changes will be presented, again looking at individual and cumulative shoreline and volumetric changes. During our review of previous reports , we noted that volumetric changes were calculated above MHWL; MHWL to - 12 feet NAVD ; above 42 feet, NAVD ; 42 feet to - 25 feet, NAVD; and above -25 feet, NAVD. CPE will review the data and historic basis for calculating volumetric changes to this depth given the presence of nearshore hardbottom. If appropriate, CPE may propose alternate depths to which to calculate volumetric changes. CPE will collect aerials of the project area as discussed more fully later in this scope of work. The aerials will be collected from R45 through R-60. Plots of hardbottom change and shoreline position will be overlaid on the aerials and included in the report appendix. The FDEP approved physical monitoring plan requires that sand samples be collected during summer months coincident with 24-month post-construction monitoring event at four beach profile transects (R-22, R-30, R41 and 11- 52) . However, sand was only placed between R-20 and R-36 in Phases 2 and 2B. Therefore, only R-22 and R-30 will be sampled and analyzed. Five samples will be collected and analyzed along each transect (toe of dune, mid-berm, MHW, MLW, and -3 feet, NAVD) for a total of 10 samples analyzed. We understand that Morgan & Eklund will collect these samples and ship them to us for analysis . CPE has a certified laboratory required by FDEP standards to analyze beach samples . We will follow the FDEP protocols for sieving the samples using 20 sieves ranging in size from 4. 25 phi to + 4 phi at '/z phi intervals. A cumulative frequency distribution and frequency distribution histogram will be presented along with a sediment analysis summary sheet providing descriptive statistics, compositional results, percent fines and Munsell Color. The grain sizes will be compared to previous sediment samples to gauge any changes in grain size or color. Deliverables CPE will submit a draft of the report of the County for review and comment. This will be submitted electronically (PDF) . CPE will incorporate comments from the County and revise the report accordingly. CPE will then submit two hard copies and an electronic copy to the FDEP. CPE will submit one hard copy and one electronic copy (PDF) to the County. Required Data To perform the physical monitoring evaluation, CPE will need the following data: • Survey data in x,y,z format collected in January 2010, September 2010, July 2011 , May 2012, and July 2012. • Design cross-section in electronic format. • Shape file or Auto CAD file of the landward edge of hardbottom for previous monitoring events. Schedule The draft monitoring report will be completed within 60 days of receipt of the survey data from Morgan & Eklund. We estimate that the county will review and provide comments on the document within 2 weeks.
