ATTACHMENT A-3 <br /> REVISED GRANT WORK PLAN <br /> PROJECT TITLE: Indian River County Oyster Bed Project <br /> PROJECT LOCATION: Latitude/Longitude: 27.651817,-80.371698 <br /> PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Indian River Lagoon has more than 2100 species of plants and 2200 <br /> species of animals making it North America's most diverse estuary. Indian River County (Grantee) is <br /> committed to protecting and preserving the Indian River Lagoon. In the past,the Grantee has successfully <br /> established an oyster bed reef in an area adjacent to Spoonbill Marsh in Vero Beach, Florida, which has <br /> reduced the amount of total nitrogen(TN)and total phosphorus(TP)entering into the Indian River Lagoon <br /> in the area. The Grantee wishes to continue its efforts by constructing a living shoreline/oyster reef along <br /> the shoreline of Foot Island. Foot Island is a roughly 2,750 sq. foot island located within Vero Beach, <br /> Florida. Evidence of erosion has been observed along the western and southern portions of the island where <br /> dead mangroves were exposed,likely due to boat wake and a relatively large fetch. The purpose of the <br /> proposed oyster reef would be to a) stabilize the Foot Island shoreline and b) improve water quality <br /> conditions of discharges from the adjacent Florida Department of Transportation(FDOT)outfall pipe into <br /> the Indian River Lagoon.At this point in time,the project's conceptual design is complete and the Grantee <br /> has received permission from the Indian River Board of County Commissioners to proceed with the <br /> proposed project. <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project will require the Grantee to construct living shoreline/oyster reef <br /> along much of the Foot Island shoreline with emphasis on the western and southern portions of the island. <br /> The southern and western portions of the island are also adjacent to the FDOT outfall pipe. The oyster <br /> bags will be stacked to create void spaces throughout the reef structure of differing sizes,dimensions,and <br /> openings to the Indian River Lagoon. The proposed oyster reef is approximately 27,500 square feet. The <br /> reef location is close enough to the Foot Island that it will not inhibit the navigability of the area.The reef <br /> provides a habitat for attached and encrusting organisms such as oysters, and other invertebrates such as <br /> stone crabs, juvenile fish species, and game fish species. In turn, the reef will act as an in-situ water <br /> treatment system to facilitate the removal of total nitrogen(TN)and total phosphorus(TP)from stormwater <br /> discharged through the FDOT outfall into the Indian River Lagoon.The reef is self-perpetuating in that the <br /> attached and encrusting invertebrates and turf algae will continue to overgrow any bare areas created in the <br /> future. <br /> TASKS: All documentation should be submitted electronically unless otherwise indicated. <br /> Task 1: Construction <br /> Deliverables: The Grantee will construct an oyster bed reef in accordance with the construction contract <br /> documents. <br /> Documentation:The Grantee will submit 1)a signed acceptance of the completed work to date,as provided <br /> in the Grantee's Certification of Payment Request; 2) written verification that the Grantee has received <br /> record drawings and any required final inspection report(s)for the project(as applicable);and 3)a signed <br /> Engineer's Certification of Payment Request(as applicable). <br /> Performance Standard: The Department's Grant Manager will review the documentation to verify that <br /> the deliverables have been completed as described above. Upon review and written acceptance by the <br /> Department's Grant Manager,the Grantee may proceed with payment request submittal. <br /> DEP Agreement No.S0839,Attachment A-3,Page 1 of 2 <br />
