do 40 i • Qualifying Project Costs The "qualifying project length" for accesses that meet the minimum parking requirement of 100 spaces is calculated as the length of the access plus one-half (/2) mile on either side of the access. Trus, for a 100 -foot wide public access easement, the qualifying project length is; 100' + 2840' + 2840' = 5380' The proportion of state funding for a renourishment project is computed by the ratio of qualifying project length to total project length. County and city government sponsored beach nourishment project areas without 100 percent public access can qualify for partial funding based on the available access. If an individual access has more than 100 parking spaces, qualifying length of shoreline is not increased proportionally. The major advantage to having additional parking above the 100 -space minimum is that the project criteria for parking spaces will score higher, and thus may be ranked on the list of projects being considered by the state for funding. Additional ranking criteria for state funded projects include: environmental impacts, public support, recreational benefit, storm protection and local erosion rates, renourishment interval, and an established funding program to provide the balance of funds required to construct the project(s). Accesses that satisfy the state's requirements for public access are eligible for reft-ribursemeni of 50 percent of the cost of sand placement within the qualifying reach. Sand placement costs include pumping costs, mobilization/ demobilization, sand source investigations, hardbottom snapping, state and federal permit acquisition, construction plans and specifications, acquisition of easements, turbidity monitoring, hydrographic monitoring, revegetation and turtle monitoring. For example, a one (1) -mile project with two (2) accesses and 100 parking spaces per access would qualify for reimbursement of 50 percent of the
