Qualifying Project Costs <br />The proportion of state funding for a renourishment project is computed by the <br />ratio of qualifying project length to total project length. County and city <br />government sponsored beach restoration pro ect areas without 100 percent <br />public access can qualify for partial funding based on the available access. The <br />"qualifying project length" for accesses that meet the minimum parking <br />requirement of 100 spaces is calculated as the length of the access plus one-half <br />('/2) mile on either side of the access. Thus, for a 100 -foot wide public access <br />easement, the qualifying project length is: <br />100' + 2640' + 2640' = 5380' <br />If an individual access has more than 100 parking spaces, qualifying length of <br />shoreline is not increased proportionally. The maior advantage to hnvinn <br />additional parking above the 100 -space minimum is that the project criteria for <br />narkina spacEes will scn_rA hinher, anc! fhiic may be ranker,! on the list of projGct3 <br />considered by the state for funding. Additional ranking criteria for state funded <br />projects include: environmental impacts, public support, recreational benefit, <br />storm protection and local erosion rates, renourishment interval, and an <br />established local funding program to provide the balance of the non -state <br />funds required to construct the project(s). <br />Public facilities that satisfy the state's requirements for access are eligible for <br />reimbursement of 50 percent of the cost of sand placement within the qualifying <br />reach. Sand placement costs include pumping costs, mobilization/ <br />demobilization, sand source investigations, hardbottom mapping, state and <br />federal permit acquisition, construction plans and specifications, acquisition of <br />96 f*0V"i52REPORTWAr TMOI4MWE 46 <br />
