Task 2 Nearshore Turtle Abundance Monitoring Surveys of sea turtle abundance will be conducted by In-Water Research Group (IRG) along a series of 3-kilometer alongshore transects previously established by Indian River County. There are 3 transects , 300 , 600 and 1 , 200 feet offshore , in the project site transects extend from R- 10 to R-20 , and the three alongshore transects in the control site extend from R-62 to R-72 . Study sites and survey methodology will be in accordance with the issued project permits . Data will be tabulated and transmitted to ATM and Indian River County (IRC) at the conclusion of each survey effort — Spring 2009 (April-June) and Fall 2009 (August-September) . IRG will provide ATM with an annual summary report including a statistical analysis of sea turtle abundances between seasons, sites , and distances offshore. For seasonal comparisons and analyses , project site and control site will be pooled . Analyses of these data will include the dataset collected itn the 2007 during project construction . Task 3 Aerial Photography This task allows for the collection , rectification and geo-referencing of orthogonal aerial photography from R- 1 through R-22 per the DEP-approved Physical Monitoring Plan (February 2, 2007) . Two reconnaissance flights are included as an effort to capture clear, high water visibility conditions . ATM will provide the County with a set of aerial photographs and digital copies (with world files) of the aerials in TIF and JPG format. Task 4 Borrow Area Hydrographic Survey ATM will perform bathymetric surveys of the offshore borrow sites, which are identified as the Sectors 1 & 2 Primary Borrow Area (also referred to as the Sector 7 Borrow Site) and the Sectors 1 & 2 Secondary Borrow Area (formerly known as the Sectors 1 & 2 Borrow Site) . The bathymetric surveys will be conducted in accordance with the DEP-approved Physical Monitoring Plan . To be consistent with prior surveys , trackline line spacing will be 400 feet for the Primary Borrow Area and 500 feet for the Secondary Borrow Area . Included in this task is one weather day should inclement weather occur during the survey necessitating a re- mobilization to compete the survey. The Sebastian Inlet District will be conducting a bathymetric survey of the Sebastian Inlet Sand Trap , and has agreed with the County to share the data with ATM . The Sebastian Inlet Sand Trap survey dataset will be required to complete the physical monitoring report . ATM will provide the County with an xyz data file and drawings ( 11x17 format) showing the survey data and bathymetric contours. Task 5 Beach Profile Survey Morgan & Eklund will perform the beach profile survey data collection and data reduction . Beach profile will include R- 1 through R-22 . All data collected will be accordance with the DEP-approved Physical Monitoring Plan . ATM will provide review of submittals and project coordination as necessary, provide the County with beach profile data in ASCII file format , CAD drawings , and drawings ( 11x17 format) signed by the surveyor. Task 6 Physical Monitoring Report (2-Year Post-Construction ) ATM will analyze the project data and prepare a physical monitoring report per the DEP-approved Physical Monitoring Plan . The report will include reporting of the pre-and post-construction surveys of the beach profiles and borrow site . ATM will analyze the data for placed sand ,
