SCOPE OF WORK Indian River County Beach Preservation Project = Sectors 1 & 2 Post-Construction Services Introduction • The Indian River County Sectors 1 & 2 Beach Renourishment project is located along the shoreline south of Sebastian Inlet, at Sebastian Inlet State Park and unincorporated Ambersand Beach and extends between FDEP reference monuments R-3 . 5 and R- 17 . The borrow area for the project is located on the Indian River Shoal between 7 , 000 feet and 10 , 000 feet offshore of the southern part of Indian River County , just north and directly offshore from Round Island Park (R- 118) , in Indian River County , the Atlantic Ocean , Class III Waters . The proposed beach restoration involves transporting sand from an offshore borrow site by hopper dredge and placing the material along 2 . 5 miles of beach . The beach fill template consists of a design berm , which is intended to remain intact between nourishment events , and advance beach nourishment placed seaward of the design berm , which will erode away between nourishment events. The total construction volume is approximately 500 , 000 cubic yards over the 13 , 296 feet of beach . In addition , a minimum of 5 . 0 acres of artificial reef will be constructed as mitigation to offset the expected burial of 3 . 8 acres of nearshore hard bottom . The mitigation will consist of at minimum 0 . 2 acres of Low Complexity-Low Relief (LCLR) reef and 3 . 6 acres of High Complexity-High Relief (HCHR) reef as detailed in the " Indian River County Sectors 1 &2 Beach Restoration Project Mitigation Plan" prepared in October 2002 by Indian River County Coastal Engineering Division and Applied Technology and Management, Inc. This scope of services details the siting , design , construction and monitoring of the required mitigative reef structure . In addition , this scope of services addresses several components of the physical and biological monitoring requirements of the issued Joint Coastal Permit and U . S . Army Corps of Engineers permit for the Ambersand Project. Included are monitoring of the mitigative reef downdrift shoreline for erosion potential following reef construction , vegetation planting and monitoring plan , marine turtle monitoring (daily surveys and statistical evaluations) , marine turtle in-water abundance assessment, juvenile green sea turtle netting studies , and beach restoration project physical performance monitoring and measurement. Each of the above components are described further herein . Task 1 - Mitigation Reef Design TASK 1 . 1 : ARTIFICIAL REEF MITIGATION SITING While the general location of the Vero Cove" area offshore of South Beach Park in the City of Vero Beach has been identified as the possible/candidate site for the mitigation reef, a more detailed examination of the coastal environment must be undertaken .
