Task 2 Nearshore Turtle Abundance Monitoring Surveys of sea turtle abundance will be conducted by In -Water Research Group (IRG) along a series of 3 -kilometer alongshore transects previously established by Indian River County. There are 3 transects, 300, 600 and 1,200 meters offshore, in the project site extend from R-10 to R-20, and the three alongshore transects in the control site extend from R-62 to R-72. Study sites and survey methodology will be in accordance with the issued project permits. Data will be tabulated and transmitted to ATM and Indian River County (IRC) at the conclusion of each survey effort — Spring 2008 (April -June) and Fall 2008 (August -September). IRG will provide ATM with an annual summary report including a statistical analysis of sea turtle abundances between seasons, sites, and distances offshore. For seasonal comparisons and analyses, project site and control site will be pooled. Analyses of this data will include the dataset collected during the all of 2007 during project construction. Task 3 Aerial Photography This task allows for the collection, rectification and geo-referencing of orthogonal aerial photography from R-1 through R-22 per the DEP-approved Physical Monitoring Plan (February 2, 2007). Two reconnaissance flights are included as an effort to capture clear, high water visibility conditions. ATM will provide the County with a set of aerial photographs and digital copies (with world files) of the aerials in TIF format. Task 4 Borrow Area Hydrographic Survey ATM will perform bathymetric surveys of the offshore borrow sites, which are identified as the Sectors 1 & 2 Primary Borrow Area (also referred to as the Sector 7 Borrow Site) and the Sectors 1 & 2 Secondary Borrow Area (formerly known as the Sectors 1 & 2 Borrow Site). The bathymetric surveys will be conducted in accordance with the DEP-approved Physical Monitoring Plan. To be consistent with prior surveys, trackline line spacing will be 400 feet for the Primary Borrow Area and 500 feet for the Secondary Borrow Area. Included in this task is one weather day should inclement weather occur during the survey necessitating a re -mobilization to compete the survey. The Sebastian Inlet District will be conducting a bathymetric survey of the Sebastian Inlet Sand Trap, and has agreed with the County to share the data with ATM. The Sebastian Inlet Sand Tarp survey dataset will be required to complete the physical monitoring report. ATM will provide the County with an xyz data file and drawings (11x17 format) showing the survey data and bathymetric contours. Task 5 Beach Profile Survey Morgan & Eklund will perform the beach profile survey data collection and data reduction. Beach profile will include R-1 through R-22. All data collected will be accordance with the DEP-approved Physical Monitoring Plan. ATM will review the provide necessary project coordination with the Morgan & Eklund, provide the County with beach profile data in ASCII file format , CAD drawings, and drawings (11x17 format) signed by the surveyor. Task 6 Physical Monitoring Report (1 -Year Post -Construction) ATM will analyze the data and prepare a physical monitoring report per the DEP-approved Physical Monitoring Plan. The report will include reporting of the pre -and post -construction surveys of the beach profiles and borrow site. ATM will analyze the data for placed sand,
