A list of such concerns and the affected conditions will be prepared for review with the County staff, after which a formal response to the USACE requesting corrective action will be prepared. TASK 6 FDEP MIXING ZONE VARIANCE Task 6.1 Pre -Submittal Meeting/Conference with FDEP Following review of the initial restoration Project file, ATM shall organize and attend a pre -submittal meeting in Tallahassee with Department staff to discuss submittal requirements for variance processing and modeling scheme(s) acceptable to the Department. This meeting is proposed to take place concurrent with the Joint Coastal Permit pre -application meeting (described in Task 5.1) to optimize travel expenditures to Tallahassee. Task 6.2 Mixing Zone Variance Request and Completeness Summary Response A Petition for Variance request will be prepared by ATM with an adequate distance cross -shore and alongshore on the Atlantic Ocean coast to avoid water quality violations. The quality of the borrow source sand to be utilized for the nourishment Project will dictate the physical dimensions of the mixing zone which is achievable and hence requested. It is anticipated at this time that the transverse -mixing model presented in Fischer et al.

ATM shall respond to one agency Request for Additional Information associated with the mixing zone issue to ensure that the appropriate mixing zone is acquired.

ATM will respond to the agency request within 60 calendar days of receipt of the RAI. The County shall prepare a Public Notice following agency approval of the Petition for Variance methodology and computational results. ATM' s"all review the FDEP variance document for accuracy and shall transmit any noted changes required to the Comity prior to subsequent transmittal to the FDEP requesting such change(s).
