Page 2 <br />UPDATE — USACE Proposed Plan <br />May 2, 2016 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />During the April 18, 2016 Beach and Shore Preservation Advisory Committee (Beach <br />Committee) meeting, the recent issuance of the FONSI was discussed. The Beach <br />Committee reiterated its concerns that removal of beach quality sand deposits from St. <br />Lucie and Martin Counties could negatively affect Indian River County if the growing <br />demand for beach quality sand extended into Indian River County. <br />Due to these growing concerns the Beach Committee unanimously approved the <br />following motion: <br />Approve moving forward with coordinated response with Martin and St. Lucie Counties, <br />through applicable County regulations to the State and then to the Federal offices, <br />representatives, Department of the Interior and the Office of Management and Budget <br />and request a hearing for open public discussion on the proposal. The Committee <br />members also discussed getting Congressman Murphy into a coalition with the Counties. <br />The purpose of this agenda item is to update the Board on the recent USACE Jacksonville <br />District action and Beach Committee motion and to request staff direction on how to <br />proceed. <br />FUNDING <br />This matter does not require expenditure of County funds. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Board support the Beach Committee's request and direct staff to begin <br />discussions with St. Lucie and Martin Counties and the State and Federal agencies identified. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />March 8, 2016 USACE Finding of No <br />Significant Impact (FONSI). <br />APPROVED AGENDA ITEM <br />F:\Public WorksUamesG\Sand Wars\Sand Update -- Agenda Item 5-10-16.docx <br />131 <br />AWoved <br />Indian River County <br />Date <br />Administration <br />f <br />�. <br />Budget <br />Legal <br />Yt//ry <br />5'J'1 <br />Public Works <br />Coastal Engr.
