Mora, P.E. <br />Public Works Director <br />James D. Gray, Jr. <br />Coastal Engineer <br />CONSEN <br />FIND Project Agreement No. IR -15-01 <br />Small Scale Derelict Vessel Removal Program <br />October 12, 2015 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />With the assistance of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Division of <br />Law Enforcement (FWC), the County has identified two (2) derelict vessels in the <br />Intracoastal Waterway near Sebastian. Derelict Vessel 1 (DV -1) is a partially sunken 32 <br />ft. cabin cruiser located northeast of Captain Hiram's and Derelict Vessel 2 (DV -2) is a 27 <br />ft. Watkins Sailboat located on the southwest side of spoil island No. 1. Since these <br />vessels pose potential public safety and environmental hazards they need to be removed <br />from the waterways. Both vessels have been classified as derelict and are authorized for <br />removal in accordance with the provisions of Sections 705.103 and 823.11(1)(a), Florida <br />Statutes. <br />Staff has applied for and received the required Florida Department of Environmental <br />Protection Permit No. 31-0337600-001 and the US Army Corps of Engineers Permit No <br />SAJ-2015-03075 (NW -TSD) authorizing the removal of DV -1 and DV -2 from the <br />waterways. <br />Although not currently designated as derelict vessels (still in the Florida Statute process), <br />there are two (2) additional vessels (PV -1 and PV -2) located within Indian River County <br />that are considered "at risk" which may need to be removed in the future. As such, staff <br />has also received the required removal permits in'the event the "at risk" vessels become <br />designated as derelict. <br />Maps identifying the locations of the derelict and "at risk" vessels are included in this <br />agenda item. <br />F•\Public WorksVamesG\Derelict Vessel Removal\2015 DVs\Lagoon Vessels 2015\Agenda Item\FIND Grant ICW-IR-15-01\FIND <br />Small Scale Derelict Vessel Removal Program Project -- Grant No. ICW - IR -01 — Agenda Item 10-20-15.docx <br />96 <br />
