McCulley Marine Services, Inc. Off Shore Reef Experience August 2014 Volusia County We returned once again this year to Volusia County's reef staging area to deploy fourteen individual reefs. The projects totaled over 5,600 tons and consisted of culverts, boxes, poles, and pile cutoffs. 124. August 2014 Indian River County After a few years with no active reef program, we were very pleased to once again work with Indian River County. This year we staged 1,500 tons of concrete culverts, boxes and light poles at the Port of Ft. Pierce. We made the deployments in loads, making sure to stay well ahead of the construction deadline. September 2014 Palm Beach County Our crews returned for a second deployment for Palm Beach County this year. This was an additional 1,000 tons in one barge load. January — November 2014 Miami Harbor Deepening Mitigation Reef This is our single largest project to date by the measure of tonnage deployed. As mitigation for the Miami Harbor Deepening project, our crews placed 51,601 tons of limestone boulders in 69 individual deployments. The deployments were all precisely placed using a four -point mooring system and DGPS monitoring in forty feet of water, just offshore of Miami. Special care had to be taken during the operation because of the close proximity to existing hardbottom resources. July 2015 Martin County and FOS Oyster Reef In the shallow waters of the St. Lucie River in Stuart, FL, our crews created three acres of oyster reef. This was another precision operation to build the oyster bed within the confines of the permit area. Overall the project involved 2,850 tons of oyster cultch in eight deployments. June — July 2015 St. Lucie County Beach Renourishment Mitigation Reef As mitigation for beach renourishment South of Ft. Pierce Inlet, St. Lucie County contracted us to build 1.89 acres of near shore reef. Over 5,900 tons of limestone boulders were sourced and delivered to the County's Harbor Pointe staging area and loaded onto our barge. The boulders were precisely placed by crane in 10-12 feet of water. The reefs were built to spec in 84 cells, each 20 by 40 foot, using a four - point anchor system and DGPS monitoring to ensure proper placement. The reef was completed in 12 barge loads in 40 working days, all to spec and according to permits and regulations. July 2015 Broward County This July we returned to Broward County for a single deployment of 500 tons of limestone boulders. McCulley Marine procured the boulders and their delivery, loading them in Ft. Pierce and deploying them at the reef site offshore of Deerfield Beach. 2015 Collier County, City of Naples, City of Marco Island An ongoing project that will ultimately total more than 36 individual deployments, we have thus far made thirty deployments totaling 15,000 tons of mixed concrete materials of opportunity and limestone boulders. The project also includes the manufacture and deployment of twelve 6,000 lb Florida Limestone Reef Modules. This effort is a partnership between Collier County, the City of Naples, and the City of Marco Island and is being billed as the Paradise Reef, one of the largest in the Western Hemishere.
