Indian River County Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project Page 6 Exhibit A — 2014 Scope of Work This approach is still considered experimental at the FDEP level, but may prove to be an acceptable alternative in the event that aerial photographs are not acquired, as was the case in 2013. FDEP permission will be sought in the event this task becomes necessary. Task 8 — Preparation of an Annual Biological Monitoring Report (FDEP Specific Condition No. 54). Following the completion of Tasks 5 and 6, CSA will analyze transect and quadrat data in accordance with the FDEP Biological Monitoring Plan and prepare a summary report. The report will include appropriate graphics, tables, statistical analyses of the collected data, comparisons to previous years' survey data, and an assessment of project -related impacts to hardbottom communities. The report will be delivered in both hard copy and digital format. Data deliverables on portable hard drive will include frame -grabbed images from all transects, PointCount files and associated data, Excel spreadsheets of PointCount data, and Excel spreadsheets of in situ quadrat data. Deliverables: The draft Biological Monitoring Report, as well as the UMAM analysis (Task 9) will be provided to the County for distribution to a 3rd party for impartial review and comment. CSA and/or EAI will then coordinate with the County and the 3rd party reviewer to identify and discuss any needed changes to the draft documents. After such changes are made by CSA, EAI will forward the summary report to FDEP in partial fulfillment of permit conditions. Task 9 — Post -Construction UMAM Analysis of Hardbottom Impacts. Based upon the assessment of hardbottom impacts prepared under Task 5 and aerial imagery interpretation in Task 6, CSA will conduct a Uniform Mitigation Assessment Methodology (UMAM) analysis, pursuant to Chapter 62-345, F.A.C. The UMAM analysis will include qualitative descriptions of impacted communities and associated ecological functions, and quantitative estimates of the extent of impacts. CSA will confer with FDEP staff during and upon completion of the UMAM analysis to access any actual hardbottom impacts or the absence of impacts potentially attributable to the Project. Deliverables: The UMAM spreadsheets, in addition to supporting documentation, will be provided in hard copy and digital format to the County for review prior to final submittal to FDEP
