Indian River County Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project Page 2 Exhibit A — 2013 Scope of Work 5) Post-construction Nesting Beach Sea Turtle Monitoring (FDEP Special Condition No. 29). Daily early morning nesting surveys will commence on March 1 , 2013 for all three phases of the Sector 3 Project. Post-construction monitoring of the entire Project Area will continue uninterrupted through September 30, 2013 . Thereafter, the surveys will be conducted three days each week until the last marked nest has been evaluated. During the daily surveys, all emergences (turtle crawls) apparent from the previous night will be interpreted to determine which species of turtle came ashore and whether or not it nested. Crawls will be denoted as being either above or below the previous high tide line . Only those crawls above the tide line will be included in data summaries and analyses . Nests and false crawls will be enumerated by pre-established survey zones and their approximate geographic locations determined by GPS (general accuracy of 3 =5 meters) . This data will be incorporated into EAI' s GIS database and nest distribution maps produced for inclusion in a year-end summary report. Each false crawl will be categorized as to the stage at which the nesting attempt was abandoned in conformance with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) requirements for beach restoration projects. Additionally, all obstacles (e .g. , scarps, seawalls, etc .) encountered by turtles during their emergences onto the beach will be documented . EAI will directly confer with existing Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission ' s (FWC ' s) Marine Turtle Permit Holders in collaboration with the County to appropriately coordinate its monitoring efforts with the existing yearly monitoring efforts by others within the Project Area. EAI will also coordinate its monitoring activities in a manner that best supports the County' s Habitat Conservation Plan and will furnish data collected under this Scope of Work to the County' s HCP Coordinator in a format compatible with the HCP database . 6) Nest Marking and Monitoring (FDEP Special Condition No. 29). A representative sample of nests within each phase of the Project Area, including the control , will be marked and monitored for the purpose of determining nest fate and reproductive success . The clutch of each marked nest will be located and surrounded by a series of small stakes connected by brightly colored surveyor' s tape . Marked nests will be monitored throughout their incubation period to determine nest fate (e .g. , hatched, washed out, depredated, vandalized, etc .) . After an appropriate incubation period, and in accordance with FWC guidelines, nests will be excavated to determine reproductive success. Nest contents will be assigned to standard categories (e.g. , unhatched eggs, dead hatchlings, etc .) developed by FWC . Two measures of reproductive success will then be calculated : hatching success (the percentage of eggs in the nest that hatch) and
