Task 2 — Joint Coastal Permit Pre -Application Meetings A Joint Coastal Permit (JCP) application will be developed and submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). We will request, prepare for, and lead,a pre -application meeting with the FDEP. This meeting will be conducted via teleconference. We will provide a summary of the project along with readily available information required by the permit application, much of which will be included in the Preliminary Project Design and Feasibility Report. If sand placement is confined to the dune and above mean high water (MHW), we will request that the FDEP expedite the permitting process by considering the project through a Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) permit. The purpose of the meeting will be to describe the proposed project and determine the agencies' requirements for the pending permit application. Available information will be presented to the agencies to determine the sufficiency of the information for permit file development. A separate pre -application meeting will be held with the Federal permitting agency (USACE) and Federal commenting agencies (USFWS, NOAA-NMFS). Again, we will request, prepare for, and lead the meeting. Meetings with the Federal agencies are generally conducted via conference call. Based on the results of the meetings, the extent of the permit application requirements will be determined. Deliverables CB&I will request, prepare for, and lead two separate pre -application meetings. Following the meeting, CB&I will compose minutes documenting the discussions and distribute the minutes to the County and the permitting agencies. Schedule The pre -application meeting will be held upon completion of the draft feasibility report. The intent is to conduct the meeting concurrently with the County's review of the report so the comments from the permitting agencies can be included in the final feasibility report deliverables. Cost The cost to facilitate and conduct the two pre -application meetings and compose minutes is $6,622.00. A breakdown of the hours and expenses to develop these costs is attached and follow the terms of CB&I's agreement with Indian River County. 197
