For all TASK 5 inspection activities , direct inspection by ATM is limited to above-water efforts . ATM review of the constructed mitigation structures will be limited to review of information , including photographs , video images, and bathymetric data , provided by the CONTRACTOR , the COUNTY , and others that the COUNTY chooses to employ to make such observations . If necessary , ATM will assist the COUNTY with contacting one or more firms that may assist with the underwater activities . TASK 59 PRE TURTLE NESTING SEASON YEAR 2004 , 20059_ AND 2006 COMPACTION AND ESCARPMENT MONITORING Compaction Monitoring : This monitoring will be performed by Ecological Associates , Inc. ( EAI) in compliance with Special Condition 13f of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Consolidated Joint Coastal Permit (0166929-001 -JC) for the referenced project . Monitoring will be performed prior to February 15 of each year for three years beginning in 2004 (2004-2006) while placed sand still remains on the beach . Compaction will be measured using a standard FDOT-approved cone penetrometer. Transects will be established at approximately 500400t intervals throughout the project area . The transects will be located at each DEP monument and at the approximate midway point between adjacent monuments . This will yield a total of 26 transects beginning at R-4 and ending at R- 16 . 5 . Along each transect stations will be established at the seaward edge of the restored dune and midway between the toe of the dune and the high water line . At each station three replicate readings will be taken at each of three depths (6 , 12 and 18 inches) in accordance with FDEP guidelines . The there replicate values for each depth will be combined to produce an average value for each depth at each station . EAI will prepare a tabulated report showing all 18 raw values for each transect , as well as the 6 average values . The report will be delivered to ATM no later than February 15 of each year that compaction monitoring is performed . Average values for any specific depth that exceed 500 psi at two or more adjacent stations will be highlighted . FDEP requires that those areas be tilled prior to March 1 . Escarpment Monitoring : This monitoring will be performed by EAI in compliance with Special Condition 13g of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ( FDEP) Consolidated Joint Coastal Permit (0166929-001 -JC) for the referenced project . Monitoring will be performed prior to February 15 of each year for three years beginning in 2004 (2004-2006) if placed sand still remains on the beach . EAI will notify ATM of the presence of escarpments that may potentially interfere with sea turtle nesting . FDEP requires that those areas be leveled or the beach profile reconfigured to minimize scarp formation prior to March 1 . It will be the responsibility of ATM to perform or contract the scarp leveling work and ensure that it is conducted in accordance with accepted industry standards .
