INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
SEDIMENT QUALITY CONTROL / QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN
Upland Sand Source
I . Introduction
As indicated in the title above this Plan is for beach nourishment via use of upland sand sources .
A different plan exists for the alternate use of offshore sand sources .
To protect the environmental functions of Florida' s beaches only beach compatible fill shall be
placed on the beach or in any associated dune system Beach compatible fill is material that
maintains the general character and functionality of the material occurring on the beach and In
the adjacent dune and coastal system .
This Plan outlines the responsibilities of each stakeholder in the Project as they relate to the
placement of beach compatible material on the beach These responsibilities are in response to
Page 14 of 26
March 16 , 2010
Sector 3 Beach & Dune Restoration Project Attachment 1 to Chane Order No . 1
the possibility that non-beach compatible sediments may exist within the upland sand mines and
could be unintentionally placed on the beach . The QC Plan specifies the minimum construction
management, inspection and reporting requirements placed on the CONTRACTOR to be
enforced by the Permittee, to ensure that the sediment from the borrow area(s) to be used in the
Proiect meet the compliance specifications described herein . This Plan specifies the minimum
construction oversight, inspection and reporting requirements to be undertaken by the Permittee
or the Permittee ' s On- Site Representative to observe , sample , and test the placed sediments to
verify the sediments are in compliance with the permits for the Project .
The objective of the Indian River County Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project is to
restore the shoreline between FDEP reference monuments R20 and R55 , through the placement
of approximately 472 , 000 cubic yards of sand on the beach . This "No Impact" fill template is
designed to provide storm protection as well as a recreational beach and wildlife habitat, while
avoiding negative impacts to nearshore hardbottom . The intent of Indian River County
(henceforth referred to as " County" and/or "Permittee " ) is to obtain permits for construction of
the proposed Project employing either an offshore sand source or an alternate upland sand
source . This document is only pplicable to use of the upland sand source ; a separate document
addresses use of the offshore sand source . The desi nag ted upland borrow area material is to be
excavated from two (2) separate upland mines . Both of the upland mines , Ranch Road Lake and
Fischer 86`h , are located in Indian River County . Tho designated p -im y l .ofro. , , area or- s ^„ r^ o

Beach sediment sampling by S . E . A . was perform in 2000 prior to the Sector 1 & 2 Beach
restoration Project, which was initially constructed in 2003 . Surface samples were collected by
Coastal Tech in 2007 along shore-normal transects at DEP Monuments R17 , R20 , R23 , R26 ,
R29 , R32 , R35 , R38 , R41 , R44 , R47 , R50 and R53 . Along each transect, five samples were
taken at the : ( 1 ) the toe of dune, (2) mid-berm, (3 ) mean high water, (4) mean low water, and (5 )

inspections The CONTRACTOR will conduct sampling for QC/QA purposes as outlined
below ; the COUNTY will perform sampling on a " spot-check" basis . Daily inspection reports
will be provided to the FDEP by the COUNTY during construction as warranted and following
Project completion In addition weekly construction meetings of the COUNTY , the
CONTRACTOR. and ENGINEER will be held to coordinate efforts .
The Permittee will seek to enforce the construction Contract and Department permits related to
sediment duality . In order to do so the following steps shall be followed :
1 Construction Observation Construction observation by the Permittee ' s On - Site
Representative will be performed 7 days a week at least 8 hours a day during periods of active
construction Most observations will be conducted during1 daylight hours ; however, random
nighttime observations shall be conducted .
2 On - Site Representative The Permittee will provide on- site observation by individuals with
training or experience in beach nourishment and construction observation and testing , and who
are knowledgeable of the Project design and permit conditions . The Project ENGINEER, a
qualified coastal engineer will actively coordinate with the Permittee ' s On - Site Representative ,
who may be an employee or sub - contractor of the Permittee or the ENGINEER.
Communications will take place between the ENGINEER and the Permittee ' s On- Site
Representative on a daily basis .
3 Pre- Construction Meeting The Proiect QC/QA Plan will be discussed as a matter of
importance at the pre - construction meeting_ The CONTRACTOR will be required to
acknowledge the goals and intent of the above described QC/QA Plan in writing prior to
commencement of construction.
4 Contractor ' s Daily Reports The ENGINEER will review the CONTRACTOR ' s Daily
Reports which characterize the nature of the sediments encountered at the borrow area and

VIII . CONTRACTOR Duties
A. The characteristics of the in - situ materials in the beffow afeas and alternate
upland sand sources ares generally indicated by the boring logs and grain size
distribution curves , included within Appendix PFI of the Design Document Addendum
(revised : 11 /24/09) with the characteristics of the proposed "processed sand" fill--Fof
data, ,
Restoration Projeet, Design " Nevertheless , the
CONTRACTOR should be aware that it is possible for material of differing
characteristics to be present in the borrow area and that the mining process may
correspondingly require revisions to produce beach compatible sand consistent with the
criteria cited above . For the offshore barfow afea,
Digs. Limits of excavation for upland sand sources (a) are to be determined based
upon the information provided by the CONTRACTOR to fulfill the Geotechnical
Requirements , and (b) are subject to approval of the ENGINEER.

unacceptable , remedial actions as described in this document and the Technical Specifications
shall be taken .
IX. Remediation
1 . Compliance Area If a sample does not meet the compliance value for construction debris ,
toxic material other foreign material coarse gravel or rock the CONTRACTOR ' s THIRD
PARTY Licensed Testing Laboratory shall determine the aerial extent and the CONTRACTOR
shall remediate regardless of the extent of the noncompliant material . If a sample is
noncompliant for the silt content shell content or Munsell color and the aerial extent exceeds
10 , 000 square feet the CONTRACTOR shall remediate .
2 Notification If an area of newly constructed beach does not meet the sediment compliance
specifications then the Department (JCPCompliance (? dep state fl . us) will be notified .
Notification will indicate the aerial extent and location of any areas of noncompliant beach fill
material and remediation planned As outlined in paragraph 4 below, the CONTRACTOR will
immediately undertake remediation actions without additional approvals from the Department .
The results of any remediation will be reported to the Department by the CONTRACTOR
following completion of the remediation activities and shall indicate the volume of noncompliant
fill material removed and replaced .
3 Sampling to determine extent In order to determine if an area greater than 10 , 000 square
feet of beach fill is noncompliant the following procedure will be performed :
a . Upon determination that the first sediment sample is noncompliant, the
CONTRACTOR ' s THIRD PARTY Licensed Testing Laboratory , at minimum shall (i)
collect five ( 5 ) additional sediment samples at a 25 -foot spacing in all directions and ( ii)
assess the samples for compliance If the additional samples are also noncompliant , then
additional samples will be collected and assessed by the CONTRACTOR' s THIRD
PARTY Licensed Testing Laboratory at a 25 -foot spacing in all directions until the aerial
extent is identified.
b . The samples will be visually compared to the acceptable sand criteria. If deemed
necessary by the ENGINEER quantitative assessments of the sand will be conducted by
the CONTRACTOR ' s THIRD PARTY Licensed Testing Laboratory for grain size , silt
content shell content and Munsell color using the methods outlined above . Samples will
be archived by the CONTRACTOR via the Permittee .
c . A site map will be prepared by the CONTRACTOR ' s THIRD PARTY Licensed Testing
Laboratory_ depicting the location of all samples and the boundaries of all areas of
noncompliant fill .
d . The total square footage will be determined by the CONTRACTOR ' s THIRD PARTY
Licensed Testing Laboratory .
e . The site map and analysis will be included in the CONTRACTOR' s Daily Report .
4 Actions The Permittee or Permittee ' s ENGINEER shall have the authority to determine
whether the material placed on the beach is compliant or noncompliant . If placement of
noncompliant material occurs the CONTRACTOR will be directed by the Permittee or
Permittee ' s ENGINEER on the necessary corrective actions . Should a situation arise during
construction that cannot be corrected by the remediation methods described within this QC/QA
Plan the Department will be notified The remediation actions for each sediment parameter are
as follows :

Sector 3 Beach & Dune Restoration Project Attachment 1 to Chance Order No . 1
a. Grain size : blending the noncompliant fill material with compliant fill material within
the adjacent construction berm sufficiently to meet the compliance value or removing
the noncompliant fill material and replacing it with compliant fill material .
b . Silt : blending the noncompliant fill material with compliant fill material within the
adjacent construction berm sufficiently to meet the compliance value or removing the
noncompliant fill material and replacing it with compliant fill material .
C , Shell : blending the noncompliant fill material with compliant fill material within the
adjacent construction berm sufficiently to meet the compliance value or removing the
noncompliant fill material and replacing it with compliant fill material .
d . Munsell color : blending the noncompliant fill material with compliant fill material
within the adjacent construction berm sufficiently to meet the compliance value or
removing the noncompliant fill material and replacing it with compliant fill material .
e . Coarse gravel : screening or removing the noncompliant fill material and replacing it
with compliant fill material .
f. Construction debris toxic material or other foreign matter : removing the foreign
matter or removing the noncompliant fill material and replacing it with compliant fill
material .
All noncompliant fill material removed from the beach will be transported to an appropriate
upland disposal facility located landward of the Coastal Construction Control Line .
5 Post Remediation Testing Re- sampling shall be conducted by the CONTRACTOR ' s
THIRD PARTY Licensed Testing Laboratory following any remediation actions in accordance
with the following protocols :
a Within the boundaries of the remediation actions samples will be taken at maximum of
25 -foot spacing .
b The samples will be visually compared to the acceptable sand criteria. If deemed
necessary y the ENGINEER quantitative assessments of the sand will be conducted by
the CONTRACTOR ' S THIRD PARTY Licensed Testing Laboratory for grain size , silt
content and Munsell color using the methods outlined above . Samples will be archived
by the CONTRACTOR' s THIRD PARTY Licensed Testing Laboratory via the
Permittee .
c A site map will be prepared by the CONTRACTOR' s THIRD PARTY Licensed
Testing Laboratory depicting the location of all samples and the boundaries of all areas of
remediation actions .
6 Reporting A post remediation report containing the site map sediment analysis and volume
of noncompliant fill material removed and replaced will be submitted by the CONTRACTOR ' s
THIRD PARTY Licensed Testing Laboratory to the Department the COUNTY, and the
ENGINEER within 7 days following completion of remediation activities .

Item 25 : Technical Specifications — 6 . 5 Acceptance Sections and Pay Profiles
Section 6 . 5 is clarified as follows :
The following_procedure shall be implemented to coordinate pay survey
The CONTRACTOR will contact the COUNTY ' s inspector via phone or in person prior to
3 . 00 PM to identify the stations which the CONTRACTOR considers ready for a post- fill
pay survey . The COUNTY ' s infector will directly convey the stations to COUNTY staff
(James Gray) and the ENGINEER ' s representative (Tem Fontaine) via email . Following
review by the ENGINEER of observations by the COUNTY ' s inspector and/or the
ENGINEER' s representative — indicating, fill placement is complete for the stations , the
ENGINEER will initiate performance of the pay surveys by the SURVEYOR with
corresponding notification to the CONTRACTOR and COUNTY via email .
The above is intended to :
■ avoid duplicate pay profile surveys , and
■ better enable the COUNTY and the ENGINEER to keep track of the CONTRACTOR' s
fill operations .
Item 26 : Technical Specifications — 6 . 4 Placement & Grading
Section 6 . 4 is amended as follows :
6 . 4 . 8 Templates : To better enable the CONTRACTOR to control and shape the fill template in
the field to avoid adverse impacts to existing vegetation and or structures the following;
measures shall apply :
( 1 ) For each "pay profile" the SURVEYOR will prescribe the template as a linear
interpolation of the templates prescribed on the Drawings for the surrounding FDEP
profiles .
(2) The SURVEYOR will not adjust the interpolated template at the landward or seaward
ends of the ` pay profile" templates ; instead adjustments at the seaward and landward
ends of the "pay profiles" may be made in the field subject approval by the
COUNTY ' s inspector and in accordance with the following :
(a) At the seaward end the "pay profile" template will extended seaward of the
beach berm at a l OH : I V slope to match the existing; grade .
(b) At the landward end the "pay profile" template will either :
■ extend to intersect the existing beach contour if the existing vegetation
line is at or above the proposed dune crest or above the berm crest
where no dune is proposed,
Page 25 of 26
March 16, 2010
Sector 3 Beach & Dune Restoration Project Attachment l to Chancre Order No . 1
• extend landward from the landward edge of the dune crest at a 5H : 1 V
slope to match existing grade or slope to match the vegetation line at
up to a l OR IV slope — whichever results in less steep slope .
■ terminate at the seaward face of any existing seawall .
