based a comprehensive modeling effort. The GENESIS shoreline model will provide a <br /> basis for the study. Given the limited output of this model , an additional algorithm will be <br /> used to project the beach profile from the predicted shoreline position in the cross-shore <br /> direction . Equilibrium profile theory will be used to calculate this cross-shore profile <br /> projection . The time dependent toe of fill will be evaluated based on the intersection of <br /> the projected profile with the existing bottom topography. Additional analysis will be <br /> conducted to ensure that the toe of fill predictions are in line with the anticipated <br /> volumetric performance of the shoreline . The resulting composite model will be used to <br /> evaluate the time-dependent coverage of nearshore hardbottom within the project area . <br /> Both primary and secondary coverage mechanisms will be considered . Project <br /> alternatives that minimize hardbottom coverage will be included within the analysis . <br /> Task 2 .3 Scan and Rectify 2004 Aerials <br /> Upon acquisition , the 2004 aerials will be rectified for use in plan development and <br /> determination of hardbottom location . <br /> Task 2 .4 Reassess Nearshore Hardbottom Resource Impacts <br /> Acceptance of the no-impact design by the regulatory agencies is contingent on an <br /> adequate assessment of the nearshore hardbottom resources and the potential impacts <br /> of the project to these resources . Based on the modeling of the project performance , <br /> impacts to nearshore hardbottom resources will be minimized through modification of the <br /> project fill plan . This analysis will include an assessment of the ephemeral nature of the <br /> nearshore hardbottom . <br /> Task 2 . 5 Revise Project Cost Estimates <br /> Based on the results of the project performance modeling , project costs will be revised <br /> and updated . This task will include a re-evaluation of the renourishment interval for <br /> project cost optimization . <br /> Task 2 . 6 Prepare Final Design Letter Report <br /> A letter report detailing the results of Task 2 . 1 through Task 2 . 5 will be developed and <br /> submitted to the County for review. Following comment from the County this report will <br /> be included within the permit application modification package provided to the regulatory <br /> agencies . <br /> TASK 3 MODIFICATION , PROCESSING , AND ACQUISITION OF JOINT <br /> COASTAL CONSTRUCTION PERMITS FOR SECTOR 7 <br /> ATM will develop a modification to the JCP permit application currently under review by <br /> the FDEP based on the no-impact design . ATM will assemble and maintain , in <br /> chronological order, all letters and reports applicable to the Project Permit <br /> Correspondence for the County. ATM shall continue telephone and written <br /> communication with the State of Florida , Department of Environmental Protection ( DEP ) , <br /> USACE Jacksonville District and County sufficient to coordinate agency review of the <br /> Joint Coastal Permit Application modification . <br />
