The area to be monitored (Project Area) extends from R-20 south to R-68 in Indian River County (Sector 3). This includes: a) Phase 2 (R-26.4 to R-36) of the Sector 3 Project, constructed in 2011. b) Phase 2B (R-20 to R-26 4) of the Sector 3 Project, completed prior to the 2012 nesting season. c) The Sector 3 Dune Repair Project (R-36 to R-55). This area, which was originally restored in 2010, sustained considerable damage in 2012 during the passage of Hurricane Sandy. Consequently, the County intends to repair damage to the dune during the 2014/2015 construction season. d) A control beach south of the Sector 3 Project Area (R-60 to R-68). Monitoring Period. Post -construction monitoring activities will commence April 1, 2014 and will continue through approximately February 2015, as stipulated below. Task 1 - Weekly Post -construction Scarp Monitoring (FDEP Specific Condition No. 24). Escarpment (scarp) surveys will be conducted on a weekly basis from April 1 through September 30 in all three phases of the Sector 3 Project Area. In accordance with FWC protocol, scarps will be functionally defined as an abrupt change in beach slope (greater than 45°) that is at least 18 inches in height and persists for a distance of 100 feet or more. The location of both the northern and southern terminus of each scarp will be recorded by GPS and average scarp height assigned to one of three categories (0 to 2 feet, 2 to 4 feet, and 4 feet or higher). Additionally, the maximum height of each scarp will be measured. The location (relative to R monuments), approximate length, height category, maximum height, and percentage of beach scarped will be presented in tabular and/or graphic format for reporting purposes. Deliverables: The location of any scarp that persists for two consecutive weekly surveys will be reported to the County by phone or electronically. Results of surveys conducted each month including locations, heights, and lengths will tabulated for inclusion in the Nesting Beach Sea Turtle Monitoring reports. The County shall be responsible for notifying FDEP of the presence of persistent scarps and for coordinating any remediation measures, if required.
