r � <br />;-j F�1Gc m.�9 <br />11.1988 BEACH PRESERVATION PLAN <br />In 1988 Cubit Engineering prepared a Beach Preservation Plan (BPP) for <br />Indian River County. This plan reviewed past beach studies and presented <br />shoreline conditions up to 1986. Three major coastal features were emphasized <br />as having long lasting effects on the County's shoreline. <br />• Sebastian Inlet <br />• Offshore reef/rock outcrop system <br />• Large offshore shoal area <br />A number of alternatives were evaluated with respect to the County's <br />coastal erosion areas. Each alternative presented an unique solution which was <br />recommended for application in a specific area or sector. These alternatives <br />were also subjected to an economic evaluation to determine if they were cost <br />effective. The recommended alternatives were as follows: <br />• Beach restoration/nourishment <br />• Dune maintenance <br />• Shore parallel structures <br />• No action <br />The BPP divided the County into eight Sectors (Figure No.3) and <br />recommended 1 of 4 of the above alternatives for each Sector. Each Sector <br />represents a portion of the coastline within which the planning constraints are <br />considered uniform and continuous (Table No. 1). This sector delineation attempts <br />to include both physical coastal conditions and jurisdictional boundaries. <br />Table No. 1: Eiaht (8) Mananpmant Qm-tf%m f<,� conn moo <br />Sector No. <br />Location <br />FDEP Monument <br />Recommended Plan <br />Sector 1 - Sebastian Inlet <br />R1 - R11 <br />Feeder Beach Project <br />Sector 2 - Ambersand <br />R11 - R19 <br />No Action <br />Sector 3 - Wabasso Beach <br />R19-45 <br />County DMD <br />Sector 4 - Indian River Shores <br />R45 - 71 <br />Town DMD <br />Sector 5 - Vero Beach I <br />R71 - R86 <br />City DMD & <br />Beach Restoration Project <br />Sector 6 - Vero Beach 11 <br />R86 - R94 <br />City DMD <br />Sector 7 - South County <br />R94 -113 <br />County DMD <br />Sector 8 - Round Island <br />nom• nun _ n...- u--= ----- -• - • - <br />R113 - R119 <br />No Action <br />Dune maintenance was recommended for five of the sectors, beach <br />restoration for Vero Beach, no action for two, and inlet bypassing for one. Also, <br />the BPP emphasized the restoration of Vero Beach and a Sebastian Inlet <br />bypassing system to be fundamental to solving the County's coastal erosion. <br />MAY 59 1998 <br />
