Additional Services Scope of Work
Scope of Work
Introduction: On March 16, 2007, Coastal Tech submitted a Joint Coastal Permit (JCP)
application for the proposed Sector 3 Beach & Dune Restoration Project on behalf of
Indian River County . In response to the JCP application, FDEP requested via telephone
call on April 12, 2007 that Coastal Tech immediately withdraw the JCP application and
provide additional information necessary for FDEP to adequately review the application .
By email dated April 17 , 2007, Coastal Tech withdrew the application with the
understanding that FDEP would provide written comments delineating the additional
information needed to process the JCP application; FDEP subsequently provided a letter
dated May 15, 2007 providing comments relative to the additional information needed -
as the FDEP response to the JCP application.
In general, this Scope of Work provides for services to fulfill requirements posed by the
FDEP as identified in their May 15 , 2007 letter and as additionally clarified in
discussions with FDEP staff — beyond those services addressed in separate agreements.
Similar requirements are expected to be posed in a forthcoming NEPA Scoping Meeting
associated with the U .S . Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit application, which
remains active.
This Scope of Work provides for services in two parts :
Part 1 — Environmental Services
Part 2 — Engineering & Geological Analyzes
Part 1 services generally entail field investigations and associated professional services to
yield mapping and characterization of turtle abundance and hardbottom communities
fronting the proposed Project Area ; the Study Area addressed by this Scope of Work
entails that nearshore environment extending from the shoreline (MHWL) to 1000 feet
seaward of the shoreline from FDEP reference monuments R14 to R58 .
Part 2 services entail engineering and geological assessments required by FDEP to
generally provide (a) greater reliability relative to assessment of potential impacts upon
nearshore hardbottom, and (b) greater assurances that proposed sand fill is beach-
compatible.
Work will be performed by Morgan and Eklund, Inc. (M&E), Pickett and Associates,
Inc. . (P&A), Dial, Cordy & Associates (DCA), Continental Shelf Associates (CSA
International) , Coastal Eco-Group (CEG — associated with QA review of environmental
services), Inwater Research Group (IRG) and Coastal Technology Corporation
(COASTAL TECH) .
The following describes the services to be provided under this Scope of Work:

Additional Services Scope of Work
PART 1 - ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
The primary focus of Part 1 services is to update the existing mapping and
characterization of hardbottom as previously developed by DCA based upon 1999 aerial
photography and the biological study and classification completed by Coastal Science
Association Incorporated (CSAi) in 1999 . In general, the objectives of this Scope of
Work are to :
I ) Provide updated controlled aerial photography as a basis for hardbottom mapping
using multi-spectral imaging analysis tools
2) Perform field work to ground truth the hardbottom classification types as defined
in CSAi and on the maps by DCA
3 ) Perform field work needed to describe the abundance and biodiversity of the
benthic flora and fauna associated with nearshore hardbottom in the Study Area
4) Assess the abundance of marine turtles in the Study Area
5) Evaluate the expected impacts to hardbottom associated with the proposed Project
— based upon the updated hardbottom mapping and characterization.
Task 1 : Controlled Aerial Photography
General: In general, this task will produce controlled, vertical, color, aerial photography
along the coastline for the primary purpose of mapping and quantifying exposed
nearshore hardbottom and natural and artificial reef areas within the limits of the Study
Area. Toward that end, it is imperative that the flight day be selected such that there is
the best possible visibility in coastal waters and that the film selected is of type and
quality to provide the best possible images in the greatest possible water depths. Within
sixty (60) days of authorization to proceed, COASTAL TECH, via subcontract with
M&E and P&A shall provide controlled aerial photography for the Study Area for a total
distance of 8 .25 miles .
The work shall be completed in compliance with Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) "Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects" as
identified in "Section 02100 Environmental Aerial Photography Acquisition for Beach
Erosion Control Projects" with the exception of:
( 1 ) Part II — Execution, Section B . Flight 16 - To provide for adequate visibility,
the photography will be taken during a period of incoming tide.
(2) Part II — Execution, Section B . Flight 17 — The work is to be conducted during
one ( 1 ) flight; a "schedule" is not warranted.
Task la - Aerial Targets : M&E in coordination with P&A, will set aerial photograph
targets or identify existing landmarks (recognizable in high-altitude photography) in the
Study Area (R14 to R58). Surveyed coordinates will be provided by M&E for post-flight
"photo-identifiable reference points"- any set targets and/or landmarks. The points
selected for reference will be relatively permanent (buildings, identifiable road
demarcations , etc) such that this set of data can be used as ground control for future aerial
work in this area. All ground control and coordinates will be based on the Florida State
Page 2 of 14

Indian River County Sector 3 - Beach Restoration Project
Additional Services Scope of Work
Plane Coordinate System, NAD83/90 adjustment and tied to the Florida High Accuracy
Reference Network (HARN) .
Task lb - Aerial Photography: The COUNTY will monitor weather and tide conditions
and notify P&A and COASTAL TECH by phone as far in advance as possible as to an
appropriate window of Opportunity for performance of the photography. During the
designated flight week, the COUNTY shall notify P&A by telephone on the morning of
an appropriate day in which acceptable weather and water conditions exist. P&A shall
conduct the aerial photography work the same morning that this notice to proceed is
provided by telephone. The final decision to authorize or postpone the flight will be made
by the COUNTY no less than one hour prior to the beginning of the flight window for
that day and in direct communication with the flight pilot. Photography shall be obtained
by P&A during morning hours with cloud cover at less than 10% , and in order to
minimize glint, the flight window shall occur when the sun angle is between 15 to 30
degrees to the horizon. If, during the flight, weather conditions deteriorate to the point
that the purposes of the flight can not be met, or the five flight conditions specified above
can not be met, it is the responsibility of P&A ' s flight photographer to determine whether
or not to terminate the flight and complete the scope of work on another day.
It is the responsibility of P&A to determine the best color film available to meet the
stated objectives of the COUNTY. The photography (by P&A) shall employ the use of a
precision Zeiss RMK/A cartographic camera (or equal) calibrated by the US Geological
Survey. The camera will be equipped with a data block, which will record the lens
number, calibration, focal length of the lens, altitude, date, and time. The photographs
will be color aerial photography, reproducible mylars, and geo-referenced digital imagery
with the following specifications :
a) Using airbourne GPS technology, P&A will record a graphical point on each
photograph. A minimum of eight points will be field located on the ground by
M&E.
b) A 60% overlap with each adjacent photograph and a ratio of 50% land (2000' to
2000') and 50% ocean (2000' to 2000') on the horizontal.
c) Maximum tangential and radial distortion for focal lengths from 85 mm to 305 m
shall be .005 to .007 mm.
d) Calibrated focal length error shall not exceed . 02 mm .
e) The image will be clear and sharp in detail, free from clouds, shadows or any
other blemishes that would render the image as uncertain for mapping rock and
reef features as far offshore as possible and no less than - 80 feet NGVD.
f) Each frame must contain :
i. time of day clock in standard time,
ii. altimeter reading,
iii. exposure counter,
iv , camera identification number,
V . lens focal length in mm, and
vi. the plate ID number.

Task 1 work-products to be provided by P&A shall include the following:
a) Contact Prints - Two sets of 9"X9" (titled-color) contact prints
b) Scanned images on DVD at 1 " = 100' .25-foot pixel resolution including the
location and labeling of FDEP (previously known as DNR) reference monuments
in both ". dwg" and "TIF/TFW" format (uncompressed) . A lower resolution
image ( 1 .0 pixel resolution) will also be created by resampling methodology.
P&A shall deliver 2 sets of DVDs to the COUNTY and one set to COASTAL
TECH. The DVD ' s shall also contain the following:
i. Pre-Flight Camera Calibration Report
ii. Post-Flight Report — including Flight Log, Weather Log, and the Tide Log
iii. Scanning Report - on the final images, including pixel resolution
iv. Complete federally compliant metadata file for each image in accordance
with standards set forth by the Federal Geographic Data Committee
V. aerial triangulation report
c) One set of digital imagery provided as high-quality color plots on high quality
photographic paper at a scale of 1 " = 100' (plot size approx . 36" X 24") , with the
labeled FDEP reference monuments.
Task Ic - Interpretation of Hardbottom from Aerials: Using ERDAS multi-spectral
imaging software, DCA will generate a GIS shapefile hardbottom map from the digital aerial
photography provided by P&A via COASTAL TECH (developed via Tasks ] a and lb).
With assistance from CSA International (in Task 2d) , DCA will define the classification
types and produce the final hardbottom maps.
Task 2 : Biological Mapping & Characterization
General : The COUNTY and CSA International will monitor weather and tide
condition for an appropriate window of opportunity (acceptable water clarity and
visibility) for performance of the fieldwork (Tasks 2a, 2b, & 2c) to be performed in this
task. CSA will maintain a daily log of weather and tide conditions. When an appropriate
window occurs , CSA International shall mobilize its personnel and equipment and
conduct the fieldwork as described below. All data deliverables shall be provided within
90 days after completion of the fieldwork.
Task 2a - Transects: CSA International shall establish transects in the Study Area (at
even-numbered reference monuments R14 to R58) as described below :
A total of 20 transects shall be established and surveyed between monuments R14 and
R56 within Sector 3 . Four of these transects, at monuments R14. 2, R16 . 9, R19.5 , and
R22, have been or will be established as a component of the Sectors 1 and 2 Nearshore
Hard Bottom Monitoring Program. Three control/reference transects will be established
between R60.5 and R65 . Also as part of the monitoring program, single video transects
will be surveyed along the length of each of the eight proposed pipeline corridors shown
in the Permit Sketches as provided by Coastal Tech. In addition, 3 control transect sites
will be established in Sector 4. Each transect will begin at the nearshore edge of hard
Page 4 of 14
June 13, 2007
Indian River County Sector 3 - Beach Restoration Project
Additional Services Scope of Work
bottom along a baseline projected directly east from each of the listed monuments . The
nearshore edge of hard bottom along each of these baselines shall be determined and each
transect shall then be extended 180-m east of these positions . The transects shall be
permanently established using 50-cm long steel rods to mark each 0 point at the landward
edge of exposed nearshore hardbottom . If a ledge exists at the nearshore hardbottom
edge, the 0 point shall be located oil the top (l.e. crest) of the nearshore hardbottom ledge
on the horizontal surface. Rods will then be installed along all transects at the 5-meter
mark, 10-meter mark, and 20-meter mark . At every 10 meters from 30 meters until 100
meters, and then every 20 meters until 180 meters a 20-cm long stainless steel eyebolt
will be cemented into the bottom. At 180 meters a 50-cm long steel rod will mark the
offshore end of the transect. Each rod or eyebolt marking a 0-mark, 10-meter mark, and
20-meter mark shall be identified with a tag marking the position along the 180-meter
transect. The rods shall extend a minimum of 30 cm above the hardbottom surface and
the eyebolts shall extend a minimum of 10 cm above the hard bottom surface.
No rods shall be located within the sand gaps between hardbottom ridges. If significant
sand gaps (i.e. troughs) occur between the hardbottom ridges , a steel rod shall be placed
at the seaward edge of the first hardbottom ridge, and installation of rods/eyebolts will
recommence at the next hardbottom ridge with a rod at the 0 mark (crest or edge of
exposed hardbottom) . Eyebolt installation will then continue at 5 meters from the second
0 mark, and then every 10 meters until the 100 meter mark, then continue every 20
meters until 180 meters . DGPS positioning will be obtained for the landward edge (0
mark) and seaward edge of the first nearshore hardbottom ridge, and or all subsequent
hardbottom ridges/exposed hardbottom located seaward along the 180- meter transect.
DGPS positioning also will be obtained for the 180-m point along each transect.
The 180-meter transects shall be sampled using digital video in progressive scan mode.
The diver shall swim at a speed of approximately 20 meters/6 minutes (-3 .5
meters/minute) with a constant camera distance of 25 cm above bottom during the
portions of the transect to be quantitatively analyzed. For the remainder of the 180-meter
transect, the diver shall swim at a speed of 20 meters/5 minutes (-4-5 meters/minute)
with a constant camera distance of 25 cm. If the diver is moved off the transect by surge,
the diver shall return to the point where he/she was disturbed by the wave action, and
resume filming at that point. The video transects shall be reviewed during the course of
the survey to ensure that there are no gaps in the data due to diver error and that the
quality of the video is acceptable for video analysis . Any missing video transect data or
poor quality video shall be re-filmed during the course of the event.
Landscape panoramic views shall be recorded with the digital video camera at the start
and end of each transect, and at each interruption of the transect by a sand
gap/recommencement at the next hardbottom ridge or hardbottom exposure.
Additionally, close-up video of the tag marking the pin at these locations shall be filmed
for a frame of reference for the observer viewing the video record. Close-up digital still
video and/or photographs shall be obtained of representative benthos along the transect to
aid in identification during video analysis. Still photographs shall be obtained using the
digital video camera or digital still camera at all quadrat locations (Task 2c) , vertical
ledges , large Oculina spp . colonies or Siderastrea siderea colonies along the transect or

adjacent to transect (within underwater visibility during transect establishment), and
changes in benthic landscape along the transect. Voucher sampling of macroalgae shall
be conducted as needed to assist with video identification of macroalgae genera.
Survey Schedule/Sampling Plan : The field survey will begin as soon as possible after
authorization and upon the observance of acceptable water conditions . Based upon past
experience with adverse underwater visibility conditions in the Indian River County
nearshore region and because of the significant number of transects in the Sector 3
project area it may not be possible to establish and survey all of the proposed transects at
the requested level of detail during this 2007 summer season. It is proposed that transects
will be established and surveyed in a two-tiered approach, with the first tier including
transects at monuments R14.2 * , R181 R22 * , R26, R34, R38 , R42, R501 R54, R60.51 R63 ,
and R65 . These transects cover the entire north to south extent of the study area plus
control/reference area to the south and are set at about 4 ,000 ft intervals . All proposed
data sets will be collected along these transects and then the 11 remaining transects at
monuments R16.9* , R19 .5 * 9 R241 R28 .51 R32, R36, R409 R44, R48 , R52, and R56 will
be established and surveyed as site conditions allow. If weather and underwater visibility
do not permit the establishment and data collection along all of the proposed transects in
the summer of 2007, with Department approval, the remaining transects will be
established and surveyed during the summer of 2008 . With acceptable sea conditions this
approach should provide for the timely delivery of a detailed data set for the entire length
of the study area to enable the preparation of hard bottom characterization documents in
2007, with additional information for intermediate transects collected at the first available
opportunity.
Single diver video transects also will be run down the axis of each of the eight proposed
pipeline corridors , beginning at the nearshore edge of hard bottom and extending out for
from about 300 to 500 in or to the end of the corridor. DGPS diver position fixes will be
collected at the beginning and end of these corridor transects and at 20 in intervals along
the transects . Divers will collect both oblique and vertical format video data along the
corridors to allow for the description of benthic communities within the corridors and the
detection of potential pipeline impacts to these communities .
If, after completion of the video transects , there is missing video data, CSA
INTERNATIONAL will re-film missing data in the study area at no additional cost to the
COUNTY.
* Transects for R14.2, R16.9 and R19 .5, and R22, are established or are to be established and surveyed
under separate authorization for the Sectors 1 and 2 Nearshore Hard Bottom Monitoring Program.
Task 2b - Quadrat Sampling: In concert with the fieldwork under Task 2a, CSA
INTERNATIONAL shall perform quadrat sampling as described below:
During each survey, a 0.25 square meter (0.5 m by 0. 5 m) gridded quadrat will be
sampled by the diverlbiologist at a several point-intercept locations along the 180-meter
long transects — with approximately 12 quadrats along each transect. The first quadrat
will be located at the nearshore hardbottom edge. If the hardbottom edge consists of a
Page 6 of 14
June 13, 2007
Indian River Countv Sector 3 - Beach Restoration Project
Additional Services Scope of Work
vertical ledge, one quadrat will be located along the vertical/subvertical face, a second
quadrat will be located at the top of the ledge along at the horizontal face of the ledge,
and the third quadrat shall be placed at the 5-meter mark along the transect. Additional
quadrat sampling shall occur along each transect to capture changes in benthic landscape
(physical relief, species dominance/abundance, presence of stony corals/octocorals along
or immediate adjacent to the transect). If the transect crosses a sand gap (i. e. trough), a
quadrat shall be sampled at the seaward edge of the exposed hardbottom, and at the west
edge of hardbottom east of the sand gap (Le. on the horizontal face of the crest of the next
ledge) . The distance across the sand gap shall be noted and is included within the 180-
meter length of the transect. Quadrats shall not be placed in the sand gaps between
hardbottom ridges . Each 180-meter transect shall have approximately 12 quadrats within
the first 120 meters of the transect. A list of the locations of the quadrats along each
transect with a description of the quadrat location/benthic community shall be provided to
the Department after transect establishment. Within each quadrat, visual estimate of
percent cover and genus/species identification shall be performed in-situ for the
following functional groups:
• macroalgae (overall percent cover and identification/percent cover of two
dominant species within quadrat) ,
• microalgae/cyanobacteria,
• encrusting calcareous algae, sponges (genus level) , with a separate assessment of
percent cover of boring sponge (Cliona spp),
■ tunicates (with identification of dominant genera),
• zoanthids (genus level), hydroids,
• worrmock (Phragmatopoma lapidosa),
• octocorals (genus level), and
• scleractinian corals (species level).
Individual counts shall be conducted for all octocorals, scleractinian corals, sponges (not
including Cliona spp . which shall be assessed for percent cover) , solitary tunicates,
urchins , and holothuroids within the quadrat.
Scleractinian corals and octocorals shall also be assessed for size class distribution: size
class 1 : < 5 cm diameter of scleractinian/height of octocoral ; size class 2 : 5 cm to 15 cm
diameter of scleractinian/height of octocoral; size class 3 : 15 to 25 cm diameter of
scleractinian/height of octocoral; and size class 4 : >25 cm diameter of
scleractinian/height of octocoral). Maximum and average algal height of the two
dominant macroalgal species shall also be recorded. Average algal height shall be
estimated by five measurements .
Percent cover of substrate, unconsolidated substrate (rubble, shell hash, rhodoliths), sand
and sediment over hardbottom shall be recorded. The maximum physical relief of
hardbottom from the lowest point to highest point in the quadrat, shall be measured to the
nearest centimeter.
Sediment accumulation measurements will be performed within all quadrats located on
the flat (horizontal) surface of hardbottom along each transect. Five random
Page 7 of 14
June 13, 2007
Indian River County Sector 3 - Beach Restoration Project
Additional Services Scope of Work
measurements of sediment thickness will be performed within each quadrat using a ruler
to measure to the nearest cm. Continuous layers of sediment less than 1 cm covering the
hardbottom surface and benthos shall be recorded. Sediment accumulation measurements
shall also be recorded at each rod/eyebolt along the transect and at 1 -meter west of each
rod/eyebolt using a ruler to measure to the nearest cm. If a ledge exists at the nearshore
hardbottom edge (0-mark) or subsequent exposed hardbottom ridges , sediment
accumulation shall be estimated by measuring the distance from the pin on the crest of
the ledge to the foot of the ledge (sand) .
Task 2c : Nearshore Hardbottom Edge Mapping: In concert with the fieldwork under
Task 2a, CSA INTERNATIONAL shall map the nearshore hardbottom edge within the
Study Area. The method for mapping shall be dependent upon underwater visibility
conditions. The preferred method is by diver swimming the hardbottom edge with a
DGPS antenna. Upon completion of the diver-mapped hardbottom edge, a towed-diver
system with DGPS -integrated video may be utilized to document the conditions and
benthic communities along the nearshore hardbottom edge if water depths and
underwater visibility allow safe boat operation and safe diving conditions . If visibility
conditions do not allow for a diver-mapped hard bottom interface the County shall
coordinate with the Department for approval to utilize alternative methods for mapping
the nearshore hard bottom edge, which may include the collection of 20-meter shore-
parallel video transects at 150-m (500 ft) intervals with DGPS positioning of the hard
bottom edge/video transect locations, ten measurements of vertical relief of the nearshore
hard bottom edge along each transect, video documentation of the dominant benthos, and
identification and canopy height measurements of the two dominant macroalgal species
along each transect (five measurements per species) .
Task 2d - Transect Analysis: Following completion of the fieldwork under Tasks 2a
through 2c, CSA INTERNATIONAL shall perform analysis of transects as described
below:
Two, 20-meter long segments of the video transect shall be quantitatively analyzed using
PointCount' 99 or a comparable software package based upon the random point count
method for estimation of percent cover from digitally frame-grabbed underwater video
images . The first 20-meter segment shall correspond to the First 20 meters of hardbottom
(commence at the 0 point at the exposed nearshore hardbottom edge and continue to the
20-meter mark). The second 20-meter segment shall cross hardbottom between 40 and 80
meters along each transect. The exact location of the second 20-meter segment shall be
determined at the time of transect establishment based upon the benthic landscape and
location of hardbottom ridges along the transect, and shall be referenced to the nearest
pin along the transect for repeated occupation of the same stretch of transect for video
analysis. DGPS positioning will be obtained for the start point of the second 20-meter
segment along each transect.
Each 20-meter segment shall result in approximately 100 non-overlapping frame-grabbed
images . A unique set of 20 random points shall be generated at the time of frame-
grabbing and stored with each set of images so that the same points are assessed during
Page S of 14
June ] 3, 2007
Indian River Countv Sector 3 - Beach Restoration Project
Additional Services Scope of Work
each monitoring event. This also ensures that each person examining a particular image
will view the same points, thereby allowing for double-blind counting for quality
assurance and control purposes . Ten percent ( 10%) of the images shall be counted by
two scorers to assess inter-observer variability.
An estimate of percent cover (projected to the surface) will be performed for each image
according to the following functional groups/categories : scleractinian corals (to the genus
level), octocorals, macroalgae (to the genus level if possible, if not, then according to the
following breakdown : calcareous red, calcareous green, fleshy brown, fleshy red, fleshy
green), microalgae/cyanobacteria, sponges, tunicates, hydroids, wormrock, zoanthids ,
urchins, holothuroids, and substrate . Substrate shall be broken down into the following
categories : unconsolidated substrate (rubble/shell hash, rhodoliths), sediment over
hardbottom, sediment over benthos (where the underlying fauna cannot be identified due
to the sediment cover), and sand.
The remainder of the 180-meter video transect shall be reviewed for qualitative changes
in benthic community cover/composition in comparison to the pre-construction surveys,
previous annual surveys, and the reference sites . If the qualitative review of the video
transect suggests sedimentation impacts or cross- shore transport of sediments over the
benthic community along the remaining portions of the transect, and the results of the
sedimentation monitoring and quadrat assessments indicate burial of hardbottom
communities, additional quantitative analysis of the video transects shall be required as
directed by the Department to determine the extent of the project-related impacts.
In addition, CSA INTERNATIONAL will provide biological data and DGPS
coordinates to DCA to assist them with definition of the classification types for the
hardbottom maps (prepared by DCA under Task lc) .
Task 2e - Summary Report: CSA INTERNATIONAL shall prepare a Summary
Report of Task 2 results in both hard copy and digital format. The report shall include
appropriate graphics/tables, statistical analysis of the collected data, with the following
data on CD:
a) all digital video transects and frame-grabbed images from all transects
b) Point Count files and associated data (i.e. PTS files, MGR files, cd.dat files )
c) Excel spreadsheets of Point Count data (raw data and summary files), and
d) Excel spreadsheets of in-situ quadrat data.
e) Spatial GIS shapefiles of transects and hardbottom maps .
Task 3 : Turtle Abundance
Task 3a — Field Survey: In general, IRG will perform a field survey to assess marine
turtle abundance in the Study Area. The surveys will :
a) be performed in the summer of 2007
b) entail three 3 -km long transects at 3 different distances offshore in the Project
Area
Page 9 of 14
June 13, 2007
Indian River County Sector 3 - Beach Restoration Project
Additional Services Scope of Work
c) sample along these transects 4 times during the summer of 2007 ,
d) follow the same methods and protocols used by IRG at 3 other sites in the county,
so that the data for Sector 3 are directly comparable to those areas.
This monitoring effort employs vessel-based observers to generate abundance estimates .
Aerial visual surveys have often been used to obtain, information on the abundance and
distribution of turtles over relatively large areas and are appropriate for documenting
seasonal variations in population levels. On the relatively limited geographic scale of
Indian River County Sector 3 , it is felt that an analogous vessel based approach is more
appropriate. This monitoring effort employs observers who count surfacing turtles from a
small boat. A semi-quantitative index, sightings per vessel/km, is calculated for each
species and compared between seasons, distances offshore, and areas.
The monitoring is conducted from a small boat equipped with a spotting tower capable of
supporting two observers at an eye level of approximately 12 feet above the water. The
GPS waypoints at the north and south ends of each transect line establish a base course
that the helmsman follows. A constant vessel speed of 5 to 6 knots is maintained during
all transects , verified by GPS track log. With one observer looking to port and one
observer looking to starboard, the vessel proceeds along the transect line. When a turtle is
spotted, it is identified to species and the position of the vessel at time of sighting
recorded in the GPS unit. The position of the turtle relative to the transect line (Inshore,
offshore, or on the transect line) is also recorded.
A Turtle Field Survey Report will be completed by IRG summarizing the results of the
monitoring effort.
Task 4 : QA/QC Coordination of Investigations
Task 4a — Coordination of Field Investigations and Professional Services : On behalf
of Indian River County, CEG will provide general QA/QC of Task 2 and Task 3
services. Specifically, CEG will:
• perform QA-QC review of video transect data using PointCount 99 ( 10% sub-
sample) for inter-observer variability
• prepare a QA/QC letter report to regulatory agencies citing QA/QC results .
• review pre-construction monitoring report and data prior to submittal to
regulatory agencies.
Task 4b - FDEP Coordination: CEG will confer with FDEP staff relative to the
scheduling of field investigations associated with Tasks 2 and 3 , and provide for

Indian River County Sector 3 - Beach Restoration Project
Additional Services Scope of Work
Part 2 - ENGINEERING & GEOLOGICAL ANALYZES
Task 1 — Engineering Analyzes
Task la - Bathymetric Survey : COASTAL TECH will perform forty-three (43) profile
surveys of the dune and beach to approximately 2000 feet offshore at every FDEP
monument from R- 15 to R-57 within the Project Area — in compliance with FDEP permit
application and rule requirements. The survey shall include ; ( 1 ) grade elevations at about
20 feet on center - and at breaks in slope, (2) the location of the seaward face of any
adjacent existing building, (3 ) the location of the existing vegetation line, and (4) the
location of the approximate mean high water line (MHWL) . COASTAL TECH will
subcontract this survey work to Morgan & Eklund (M&E) of Wabasso. COASTAL
TECH will review the survey for completeness and use the M&E and county surveys as
the basis of design and the FDEP permit application.
Task lb — Critical Erosion Assessment: Consistent with FDEP rules , COASTAL
TECH will perform an assessment of existing data and prepare a Memo summarizing the
data and a rational for extension of the of the critically eroded shoreline, as designated by
FDEP, from FDEP reference monument R51 .3 to the southern limit of the proposed
beach restoration project at monument R55 . The Memo shall "specifically support beach
restoration within the segment between R51 .3 and R55 to be in the public interest. "
Task lc — Hardbottom Variability Analysis: COASTAL TECH will review the most
recent and available LiDAR survey data within the Project Area and compare to
published FDEP survey data for the nearest time period . Appropriate criteria will be
identified using Foster and Dean statistical analysis "to determine if the recent 2006
bathymetric data is sufficient to map the variability of hardbottom elevations such that an
accurate calculation of cross-shore and alongshore spreading of the beach fill can be
conducted." COASTAL TECH will revise the existing Design Document to include the
analysis results .
Task ld —Fill Adjustment & Spreading Analysis: COASTAL TECH previously, under
separate authorization, applied the USACE model SBEACH to determine the expected
cross-shore adjustment of proposed fill, and the model GENESIS to address the
alongshore spreading of proposed fill . To analyze the reliability of SBEACH and
GENESIS results , COASTAL TECH will use "profile translation with conservation of
volume" and the Dean equilibrium profile to re-assess long-term profile evolution, as
well as , Dean 2005 spreading model to cumpare previous predictions of "cross- shore and
longshore spreading of beach fill. " COASTAL TECH will revise the existing Design
Document to include "the calculations and results of these analyses for the Sector 3 beach
fill ."

Indian River Countv Sector 3 - Beach Restoration Project
Additional Services Scope of Work
As part of this effort, COASTAL TECH will :
• investigate and obtain available "reprints of published journal papers that support
or validate the accuracy of SBEACH modeling in predicting the sub-aqueous
beach profile change, and/or support the practice of using SBEACH modeling to
predict the adjusted equilibrium beach fill profile",
• perform a "statistical analysis (following Foster or Dean) to verify if . . . model
results are within acceptable limits . "
• assess "cross-shore spreading of the Sector 1 &2 constructed beach fill into an
equilibrated beach fill profile . . . . given the hurricane impacts of 2004 . . . from
analysis of the monitoring data."
• "revise Figures A6a and A61i to include the predicted equilibrium profile used in
the design and permitting of Sector 1 &2 (ATM, 2002)",
• "provide separate figures for the proposed restoration of the 1972 and 1986 beach
and dune conditions " with "a vertical marker of the landward edge of hardbottom
and . . . the distance from the reference monument"
• identify the location of the equilibrium toe of fill (ETOF) in the Project Area .
Task le — Storm Damage Reduction Benefit Analysis: COASTAL TECH will conduct
a qualitative storm damage reduction benefit analysis using the SBEACH cross-shore
model. Up to four (4) different return interval storms (eg . 15-yr, 25-yr, 50-yr, 100-yr)
will applied to the representative profiles within the Project Area . The SBEACH model
will be applied to assess (i) the limits of erosion for each return interval storm event, and
(ii) the number of upland structures impacted with and without the design alternative(s).
Task If —Hardbottom Impacts : Based upon the hardbottom maps generated in
conjunction with Part 1 services , COASTAL TECH will assess potential impacts of the
proposed Project upon existing hardbottom (area) including the area of hardbottom
expected to be impacted. COASTAL TECH will revise the Design Document to reflect
the updated hardbottom impact analysis .
Task lg — Revised Permit Sketches : COASTAL TECH will revise the Permit Sketches
to "provide superimposed plots of the 1972 beach-dune profile and the proposed
construction template at each FDEP reference monument and note the fill density at that
reference monument" with "the landward edge of the exposed hardbottom from the most
recent hardbottom mapping", with "a vertical marker of the landward edge of hardbottom
and . . . the distance from the reference monument" , and the limits of the adjusted fill as
determined from other tasks. The plan views shall include the "ETOF, dune (existing and
proposed), MHWL, and structures (existing and proposed)". The cross-sections shall
include the "predicted ETOF and the MHW elevation".
Task lh — Design Document: COASTAL TECH will revise the Design Document and
JCP application to include results of Part 1 and Part 2 work with a recommended design .
COASTAL TECH will meet with the COUNTY to present and review the updated Draft
Design Document; COASTAL TECH will subsequently make revisions as required by
the COUNTY and provide fifteen ( 15 ) copies of the Design Document to the COUNTY.
The Design Document will be presented to the Beach Committee by COUNTY staff.

Task 2 — Geological Analyzes
Task 2a — Sediment Analysis:
Potential Borrow Area : The COUNTY shall make available cores
previously obtained by the COUNTY to delineate the proposed borrow area. COASTAL
TECH will obtain representative samples from the cores of material proposed to be
dredged and used as fill material. COASTAL TECH will perform Munsell color ("wet
and dry") analysis and compositional analysis to include organic and carbonate content
(via LOI). Samples will be visually inspected to "describe the nature of the carbonate
material (i.e. shell fragments, shell hash, sand sized material, or silt- sized material)". The
COUNTY shall provide COASTAL TECH with ROSS-compatible gINTTM files of the
core logs and gradation data previously performed by Scientific Environmental
Applications, Inc. (SEA) on South Borrow Area cores.
Native Beach: The COUNTY shall provide COASTAL TECH with
ROSS -compatible g�s of gradation data previously performed by SEA on native
beach material. COASTAL TECH will obtain an additional 65 native beach samples
from Sector 3 along thirteen shore-normal transects at R17 , R20, R23 , R26, R29 , R32,
R35, R387 R419 R441 R471 R50 and R53 . Samples will be obtained from the Toe of
Dune, Mid-bene, approximate Mean High Water, approximate Mean Low Water, and
wading depth (--3 ' contour) . COASTAL TECH will conduct gradation analyses and
compositional analyses to determine organic and carbonate contents (via LOI) , and
determine the Munsell Color Code ("wet") for these samples.
Gradation analysis of all sediment samples will be conducted by sieving
and the results plotted using g1Nfr" software. This software generates a gradation curve
identical to USACE ENG Form 2087 . The software plots both a cumulative frequency
distribution curve and a frequency distribution histogram as one diagram. The sieve
analysis shall be conducted in 1/2 phi intervals and one 1/4 screen , using a range of screen
openings capable of accommodating all grain-size classes contained in each sample. A
total of 19 sieves will be used ranging from +4 phi to -4 phi . The gradation plot shall
also include a USC description. If a sample contains fines greater than 12% passing the
#200 sieve, the description will be based upon the visual observations of a qualified
coastal geologist. All granularmetric data will be compiled into gINTTm summary tables
and Excel spreadsheets. These spreadsheets will include size-class information and
descriptive statistics .
Task 2b — Compatibility Analysis: COASTAL TECH will prepare a detailed
assessment of the compatibility of native beach sand with the proposed fill. COASTAL
TECH will prepare a written report of the assessment results to include for native beach
and proposed fill material:
• granularmetric summary table for both the native beach disposal site & the
proposed borrow area material including; "median (d5o), Munsell color, silt
percent and carbonate content", and "cumulative weight retained on sieve"
• "frequency and cumulative frequency plots of each sample"
• "composite statistics" and "a cumulative frequency curve of the composite" ,

excavation of the proposed borrow areas that provides for "the most efficient utilization
of the entire volume of borrow area sediment over the course of the initial and subsequent
beach nourishment projects" proposed by the COUNTY — consistent with the
COUNTY ' s Beach Preservation Plan . The Dredging Plan will include "plan and section
views of the borrow areas showing what has been dredged previously and what will be
dredged for the proposed project" for each "sub-area" . The COUNTY will provide post-
dredging surveys associated with previous projects. COASTAL TECH will provide
"shapefiles and PDF files for the borrow areas suitable for inclusion in ROSS" .
