The location (relative to R -monuments), approximate length, height category, maximum height, and percentage of beach scarped will be presented in tabular and/or graphic format for reporting purposes. EAI will notify APTIM of any persistent scarps within the Project Area that may interfere with sea turtle nesting. APTIM shall be responsible for notifying FWC of the presence of those scarps and for coordinating any remediation measures, if required. Scarp monitoring will be charged at a weekly rate. Any services required of EAI during scarp consultation and leveling will be charged separately on a time and materials basis. Tasks 6a -6b: Lighting Surveys (FDEP Specific Condition 20) Two surveys (one between May 1 and May 15 and another between July 15 and August 1) of beachfront lighting conditions within the Project Area will be performed. The location, number, and type of lights visible from the beach and not in compliance with Indian River County's lighting regulations will be documented and reported to the County. Photos (long exposure, without flash) will also be taken of all lights visible from the nourished beach. A sub -meter GPS will be used to record coordinates from which observations are made and results will be provided to APTIM in standard report form as well as on an Excel spreadsheet. Reports, including recommendations for correcting problem lights, will be provided within 30 days of each survey. It shall be the responsibility of APTIM to work with Indian River County to notify property owners of non-compliant lights. Following submission of an annual report on enforcement actions (to be prepared by APTIM/Indian River County), an EAI lighting specialist will participate in a meeting with APTIM, Indian River County, FWC, and USFWS to discuss the survey reports and marine turtle disorientations documented within the Project Area. Tasks 7a -7b: Reporting (FDEP Specific Condition 19) 1. Nesting Season Summary: A report summarizing methods, numbers of sea turtle emergences by species, nest fates of all marked nests, and reproductive success of evaluated nests, and an assessment of project performance on sea turtle nesting and reproductive success, including interpretive analyses and graphic representations, will be prepared and submitted to APTIM within 90 days of the completion of all monitoring activities. 2. Summary Spreadsheet of Sea Turtle Nesting Activity: At the end of the 2022 nesting season, a permit -required Excel spreadsheet summarizing all nesting activity and reproductive success within the Project and Reference Areas will be prepared and submitted electronically to APTIM/Indian River County, JCP Compliance, and FWC. 141
