Third Party Review of UMAM <br /> We understand that Continental Shelf Associates (CSA) will be performing a Uniform Mitigation Assessment <br /> Method (UMAM) evaluation for the Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project. The UMAM rule (Chapter <br /> 62-345, F.A.C.) went into effect on February 2, 2004 and is used by the FDEP to determine the amount of <br /> mitigation needed to offset adverse impacts to wetlands and other surface waters and to determine mitigation bank <br /> credits awarded and debited. A CB&I biologist will evaluate the UMAM analysis to ensure it was prepared in <br /> accordance with FDEP guidelines and instructions contained in rule 62-345, F.A.C. CB&I will prepare a <br /> summary of their findings from this review to be submitted to the County. CB&I will participate in a conference <br /> call with the County and CSA to discuss any issues identified during our review. <br /> Required Data <br /> Electronic data(preferably GIS database)may be required to quantify changes in hardbottom area. <br /> Schedule <br /> Initial comments for the third party peer review of the UMAM analysis will be submitted within 2 weeks of <br /> receipt of the analysis and report. <br /> Cost <br /> The cost of the third party peer review of the UMAM is $2,105.
