Hurricanes Ian and Nicole Recovery Plan, December 9, 2022 <br />The Manasota Key Beach Restoration and Nourishment Project is managed jointly by <br />Sarasota County and Charlotte County. Based on pre/post beach width measurements and visual <br />estimates of beach erosion, it is estimated there was approximately 67,920 cubic yards of sand <br />lost to the combination of Hurricanes Ian and Nicole in the Charlotte County portion of the <br />project. <br />Recommend nourishment to restore volumes lost due to storms. Estimated construction <br />cost is $6,384,480.00. Project is FEMA Category G eligible. <br />FEMA eligible non-federal cost share based on FEMA 75% and 25% state/local share is <br />$1,596,120.00 <br />Charlotte County -Stump Pass -Knight Island, R-9 to R-40.5 <br />The Charlotte County, Stump Pass -Knight Island Nourishment Project is managed by <br />Charlotte County. The project utilizes Stump Pass as a source of sand for nourishment on <br />Manasota Key (Stump Pass State Park), Knight Island, and Don Pedro Island. Based on pre and <br />post storm surveys it is estimated that the gross losses of all beaches in the project area is <br />174,138 cubic yards. <br />Recommend nourishment to restore volumes lost due to storms. Estimated construction <br />cost of $4,440,519.00. Project is FEMA assistance eligible. FEMA eligible non-federal cost <br />share based on FEMA 75% and 25% state/local share is $1,110,129.75. <br />Lee County <br />Gasparilla Island Shore Protection Project, R-10.5 to 24.5 <br />The Gasparilla Island Shore Protection Project is a federally authorized project managed <br />by the USACE and Lee County. As the project is federally authorized it is eligible for FCCE <br />recovery funds. Based on initial assessments the project will likely qualify for FCCE funds based <br />on impacts resulting from Hurricane Ian. <br />Recommend nourishment as a result of storm induced erosion. Project cost should be <br />100% covered under FCCE. Any project related costs on the local sponsor are eligible for cost <br />share with the DEP through the BMFA program, LGFR. No non-federal dollars needed <br />outside of normal management programs. <br />Gasparilla Island State Park Nourishment Project, R-24 to R-26.5 <br />The Gasparilla Island State Park Nourishment Project is managed by the Florida Park <br />Service. The project is historically constructed in conjunction with the Gasparilla Island Shore <br />Protection Project to save on dredge mobilization costs. The project has funding available for <br />nourishment should the Gasparilla Island Shore Protection Project qualify for FCCE construction <br />funding. No non-federal dollars needed outside of ongoing management programs. <br />Captiva Island, Lee County Shore Protection Project, R-83 to R-109 <br />The Captiva Island, Lee County Shore Protection Project is a federally authorized project <br />but managed by the Captiva Erosion Prevention District (CEPD). The project was last nourished <br />in 2021/22, under the CEPD. Currently, there are uncertainties whether the project will remain <br />federally designated and therefore may not qualify for FCCE funds. Further, because the project <br />is still technically federally authorized it is likely not eligible for FEMA recovery funds. <br />Therefore, DEP is proposing to anticipate 100% non-federal funds for nourishment of Captiva <br />Island following the impacts of Hurricane Ian. <br />Based on initial surveys, it is estimated that project losses due to Hurricane Ian and <br />Nicole are about 427,200 cubic yards of sand. <br />Page 8 of 21 338 <br />
