Monitoring Plan prepared by Applied Technology and Management (ATM) and Indian <br /> River County. <br /> Task 2.2 Data Analysis: <br /> Data will be tabulated and transmitted to ATM and Indian River County (IRC) at the <br /> conclusion of each survey effort. At the conclusion of the study , ANOVA or other <br /> appropriate statistical treatments will be employed to statistically compare turtle <br /> abundances between seasons, sites, and distances offshore. For seasonal <br /> comparisons, data from the north, south and central survey zones will be pooled . To <br /> analyze differences between the survey zones, data from all observations will be pooled . <br /> To analyze differences in turtle abundance at different distances offshore , the sub- <br /> contractor (IRG) will pool data from all survey zones and periods. <br /> Task 2.3 Report Preparation : <br /> Annual summary reports and a final report at the conclusion of the project completely <br /> describing the methods, results and conclusions of the survey project shall be provided . <br /> Additionally , a summary report of the 2001 nearshore turtle transect work to serve as a <br /> pre-construction baseline for the proposed monitoring shall be provided . All reporting <br /> and transmittal efforts shall be conducted by IRG and Indian River County . ATM staff <br /> shall have no role in review and comment on draft reports, nor in the submittal of said <br /> documents to regulatory agencies. <br /> Surveys will be conducted in : Fall 2006 (August-September) , Spring 2007 (April-June) , <br /> Fall 2007 (August-September), Spring 2008 (April-June) , Fall 2008 (August-September), <br /> and Spring 2009 (April-June). <br /> Task 3 - Post Construction Beach Tilling ( First Year Post <br /> Construction ) <br /> As required by permit, tilling of the project is required prior to turtle nesting season for <br /> two years following project construction. Tilling is required to mitigate for beach <br /> compaction related to project construction. Under this task tilling of the project area as <br /> delineated within the project permit will be conducted for the year following project <br /> construction (2007) . <br /> CAOo eM ane SeWngsyonetheng\Lo l Settirgs\Temporary Internet Files\OLKME a .dw 2 <br />
