UOC Attachment A - Scope of Services June 2007 Work Order 7 Indian River County Beach Sectors 1 & 2 (Ambersand) Mitigation Reef Monitoring (Year 2 ) INTRODUCTION The permit for Indian River County Sector 1 and 2 Beach Restoration (Permit No. 0166929-001 - JC) required construction of a nearshore artificial reef as mitigation for impacts to the expected burial of 3 .8 acres of nearshore hardbottom . Approximately 3.6 acres of impact was expected to high-relief reef habitat dominated by sabellariid worm , and 0 .2 acres of low-relief, algae- dominated reef were predicted to be impacted by the beach restoration project. Two types of mitigation reef were constructed as mitigation for the two habitat types: high relief, high complexity ( HRHC ) reef and low relief, low complexity (LRLC) reef. The high relief, high complexity reef was designed to have a vertical relief of 3 to 6 feet, and boulders were partially stacked to achieve this vertical relief. The low relief, low complexity reef was designed to mimic a vertical relief of 1 to 2 feet using a single layer of boulders. To meet the permit-required mitigation , 5. 24 acres of artificial reef were constructed . Of the 5 .24 acres, 4 . 96 acres is HRHC reef (36 120 ft. x 50 ft. units) and 0. 28 acres of LRLC reef (two 120 ft. x 50 ft. units) were constructed . In addition to the 5. 24 acres of permit-required mitigation reef, 1 . 65 acres of LRLC reef were constructed . A total of 6 .89 acres of reef will be monitored to evaluate its performance as replacement habitat for impacted benthic communities and fish populations . This Work Order will provide services to fulfill the permit-required monitoring condition of the issued permit (including permit modifications to date) and the FDEP-approved Addendum to the Mitigation Plan dated July 11 , 2006. Task 1 Year 2 Monitoring : Benthic and Fish Habitat Assessments Under this task, a sub-consultant, Coastal Eco-Group, Inc. (CEG), will perform a benthic assessment and fish counts. The benthic assessment will include six 20-meter digital video transects and in-situ quadrat analysis (3 quads per transect). The point count method will be utilized for fish counts , and will include 10 counts on HRHC sections, 10 counts on LRLW sections, and 10 counts in adjacent control areas . The County will provide boat and support services for 3 days of field work and sea turtle observations per survey protocol . Task 2 Mitigation Reef Extent CEG and ATM will perform a survey for the verification of artificial reef acreage and vertical relief. The survey will be conducted using GPS positioning and in-water measurements of vertical relief of the reefs perimeter. The comer points of the reef will be mapped and shore-parallel digital video transects will be conducted . ATM will provide FDEP data regarding the condition of the reef, the extent of the reef planform area , and vertical relief and pertinent issues regarding the project permit. Task 3 Data Analysis Data collected as part of Task 1 will be analyzed . CEG will perform an analysis of the benthic and fish count data , compare the data to Year-1 data , as well as other available data , and summarize the data . The benthic data analyses will include frame-grabbing and point counts of six 20-meter transects. Comparisons of the collected benthic and fish count data will be made between natural hardbottom and artificial reefs and high relief versus low relief areas of the mitigation reef. The benthic and fish count data will be summarized for reporting . Task 4 Report Preparation and Regulatory Agency Coordination/Consultation Under this task CEG and ATM will coordinate with and update regulatory agencies , including FDEP, NMFS, etc. in regards to data collection efforts and analyses conducted under this Scope of Work. CEG and ATM will provide the County with up to ten hard copies and five electronic copies of the report as well as report appendices (data ) and copies of video transects. ATM will perform quality control and quality assurance measures to ensure the CEG's reporting meets the permit requirements. Future Tasks The issued permit requires that the artificial mitigation reef be monitored annually for three years after completion . This Scope of Work provides services for Year 2 of the monitoring efforts . It is anticipated that the protocol for the Year 3 monitoring effort will not change . A fee estimate of the Year 3 monitoring is provided in the fee schedule, and is based on the fees for the Year 2 Scope of Work with a 5% increase to account for estimated increases for labor and equipment rates.
