SCOPE OF WORK Indian River County Beach Preservation Projects Development of No -Impact Design and Permit Authorizations for Sector 7 INTRODUCTION Following submittal of the Joint Coastal Permit Application fort he Indian River County Sector 7 Beach Preservation Plan , the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ( FDEP) determined that the proposed project impacts to nearshore hardbottom were not consistent with current FDEP policy. Further coordination with the FDEP resulted in the development of a no-impact design which would in principle be consistent with FDEP policy and eligible for permitting . Efforts detailed herein provide for the tasks required to develop the no-impact design to a level sufficient for submittal to the regulatory agencies and the additional coordination required for the permit review process of this new alternative . TASK 1 SECTOR 7 DATA COLLECTON Beach and offshore profile data will be collected at intermediate locations within Sector 7 . Profiles will be taken at a roughly 250 foot longshore spacing between FDEP monuments R- 102 and R- 105 and at a roughly 500 foot longshore spacing between R- 100 and R- 102 and between R- 105 and R- 107 (20 profile lines total ) . This data will be collected in conjunction with the County-wide profile data collection effort scheduled for late summer 2004 . Aerial photography of Sector 7 will also be acquired as part of this task . This data will provide a comprehensive assessment of the Sector 7 current physical conditions that are required as input for the evaluation and analysis of the no- impact design . TASK 2 DESIGN AND ANALYSIS This task includes additional analysis and modeling efforts required to fully develop the no-impact design , optimize project performance , and provide assurance to the regulatory agencies of the potential for impacts due to the project. Task 2 . 1 Develop Final Design Template Design c ross s ections w ill b e d eveloped u sing t he results of t he 2 004 p rofile s urvey. Placed volumes will be optimized based on an evaluation of profile equilibration . Design profiles will be developed to avoid direct and secondary coverage of nearshore hardbottom resources . Task 2 .2 Project Performance Modeling and Reporting Further evaluation of impacts to nearshore hardbottom will be required in support of this project. Impacts to hardbottom represent the most significant issue to project permitting and design . ATM will assess the performance of the project and impacts to hardbottom
