Hurricanes Ian and Nicole Recovery Plan, December 9, 2022 <br />There are no other engineered beaches in Flagler County eligible for FEMA Category G <br />recovery. Flagler County holds a Joint Coastal Permit for beach restoration and nourishment <br />between R-64.5 and R-80 (North Reach) and R-94 to R-101 (South Reach). However, this <br />project has not been constructed to date. The USACE holds a Joint Coastal Permit for beach <br />restoration and nourishment from R-80 to R-94. This project has not been constructed to date. <br />It is unclear if any reaches of shoreline will be eligible for FEMA Category B emergency <br />sand placement. In order to assist Flagler County in restoring the beach and dune system, <br />recommend non-federal funding for sand placement densities using a calculation of six (6) cubic <br />yards per foot of shoreline covering the entire county, less above identified dune project. This <br />would equate to approximately 60,000 linear feet of shoreline and total 360,000 cubic yards of <br />sand. Based on project and regional comparisons, it is estimated that cost per cubic yard of sand <br />could be $70 per cubic yard. Sand placement location and densities can vary based on areas of <br />greatest need within the county. Given this, it is recommended that Flagler County be provided <br />$25,200,000.00 in non-federal dollars to restore the beach and dune systems of the County <br />outside of the North County Dunes Project. <br />Volusia County <br />There are no engineered beaches in Volusia County eligPDle for FEMA Category G <br />recovery. It is unclear if any reaches of shoreline will be eligible for FEMA Category B <br />emergency sand placement. In order to assist Volusia County in restoring the beach and dune <br />system, recommend non-federal funding for sand placement densities using a calculation of six <br />(6) cubic yards per foot of shoreline covering the entire county, less state and federal property. <br />This would equate to approximately 185,000 linear feet of shoreline and total 1,110,000 cubic <br />yards of sand. Based on project and regional comparisons, it is estimated that cost per cubic yard <br />of sand could be $70 per cubic yard. Sand placement location and densities can vary based on <br />areas of greatest need within the county. Given this, it is recommended that Volusia County be <br />provided a total of $77,700,000.00 in non-federal dollars to restore the beach and dune systems <br />of the County. <br />It is anticipated that initially a portion of the total $77.7 million should be used for dune <br />placement where needed and able. Additional funds upfront should be applied to conducting a <br />study, design, and permitting of a full-scale beach restoration project. 40% of $77.7 million = <br />$31,080,000. <br />Phase 1 would fund initial dune placement activities above mean high water in areas of <br />greatest need, and initiate design and permitting of a full-scale beach restoration project. <br />Phase 2 would fund the beach restoration project. 60% of $77.7 million= $46,620,000 <br />Brevard County <br />Brevard County North Reach Beach Nourishment, R-1 to R-54.5 <br />The Brevard County North Reach Beach Nourishment Project is managed by the USACE <br />and Brevard County. As the project is federally authorized it is eligible for FCCE recovery <br />funds. <br />Based on initial assessments the project will likely qualify for FCCE funds as a result of <br />impacts from Hurricane Ian and/or Nicole. <br />Recommend nourishment because of storm induced erosion. Project cost should be 100% <br />covered under FCCE. Any project related costs on the local sponsor are eligible for cost share <br />with the DEP through the BMFA program, LGFR. No non-federal dollars needed outside of <br />normal management programs. <br />Page 14 of 21 344 <br />
