Hurricanes Ian and Nicole Recovery Plan, December 9, 2022 <br />II. Beach and Dune Recovery Strategies <br />The beach and dune recovery recommendations in this Plan include volumetric loss <br />determinations and replacement cost estimates that are based on the best available information <br />and strategies. DEP staff corresponded with federal, state, and local agencies involved with <br />storm recovery activities. Cost estimates were developed with the assistance of local sponsors <br />and through supporting documentation provided by engineering consultants. These <br />recommendations were developed as a guide to develop a recovery plan, and if implemented, <br />accelerate the natural recovery of impacted beach and dune systems. <br />Each proposed activity is presented by county with a listing of DEP Reference (R) <br />monuments or specific project names and locations to identify project boundaries along the <br />impacted shoreline. The storm recovery funds indicated are required in addition to any funding <br />currently appropriated via the BMFA Program or requested in the LGFR process. <br />Gulf Coast Beaches <br />Manatee County <br />Manatee County Shore Protection Project, R-12 to R36 <br />The Manatee County Shore Protection Project is a federally authorized project and is <br />therefore eligible for FCCE recovery funds should significant impacts be realized by a storm <br />event. Based on initial assessments the Project did not receive significant erosion due to either <br />Hurricanes Ian or Nicole. <br />Recommend continued nourishment under normal management plan. No non-federal <br />dollars needed outside of normal management programs. <br />Coquina Beach Nourishment Project, R-33 to R41+305 <br />The Coquina Beach Nourishment Project is managed by Manatee County. Based on <br />pre/post beach width measurements and visual estimates of beach erosion, it is estimated there <br />was approximately 2.5 cy per linear foot of sand lost along project area due to combined effects <br />of Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole, resulting in an estimated 19,500 cy of storm erosion (2.5 <br />cy/ft * 7,800 ft = 19,500 cy). <br />Recommend nourishment to restore volumes lost due to storms. Estimated construction <br />cost is $2,517,350. Project may be FEMA Category G eligible. <br />FEMA eligible non-federal cost share based on FEMA 75% and 25% state/local share is <br />$629,337.50. <br />North End Longboat Key, R42 to R-67 <br />The north end of Longboat Key is comprehensively managed by the Town of Longboat <br />Key in coordination with Manatee County. Based on initial assessments the Project did not <br />receive significant erosion due to either Hurricanes Ian or Nicole. <br />Recommend continued nourishment under normal management plan. No non-federal <br />dollars needed outside of normal management programs. <br />Sarasota County <br />Longboat Key Nourishment, R-1 to R-29 <br />The Longboat Key Nourishment Project is comprehensively managed by the Town of <br />Longboat Key in coordination with Manatee County and Sarasota.
