The Corps specified two areas for restoration: 1.68 miles fronting Sebastian Inlet Park and 1.74 miles fronting the City of Vero Beach. The plan for the Sebastian Inlet State Recreation Area provides for stabilizing the park shores with periodic nourishment. Sand will be placed along the section of shore extending from a point 1,500 feet south of the inlet south 8,860 feet. The cross-sectional configuration of the stabilized beach fill shortly after placement would show a 25 -foot Wide berm at an elevation of ten feet aabu-va mean low water (MLW) with a seaward slope of one vertical to ten horizontal (1V to 10H) to an elevation of about two feet below MLW, thence 1V to 50H until the section intersects the existing bottom. The plan for the Vero Beach area provides for a beach fill extending 9,162 feet along the shores of the City of Vero Beach and for stabilizing the new beach with periodic nourishment. The cross-sectional configuration of the restored'beach would show a 20 -foot -wide berm at an elevation of 15 feet above MLW, with a seaward slope of IV to 8H to about the mean low water datum, then 1V to 35H until the section intersects the existing bottom. Project Need: Indian River County has a history of erosion problems. The Corps of Engineers found that sea level rise and Sebastian Inlet are the major causes of beach erosion. Sea level rise contributes a loss of 1.25 feet/ year to the Indian River County Beaches. In the vicinity of Sebastian Inlet the loss increases to 1.7 feet/year. During a storm with a frequency of occurrence of once in ten years the bluffline recession was computed at 55 feet in Sebastian Inlet Park and 20 feet in Vero Beach. Providing protection against a ten year storm would ber:fit the county and its residents by $660,000 annually. County beaches are of primary importance to the local tourist economy. The total annual beach visitation is expected to increase from 2.6 million to 5.3 million visitors by 2035. The present beach area is inadequate to handle the increase in demand and with continuing erosion the situation will worsen. Construction of the proposed project would provide $507,000 annually in recreational benefits.

These sites are not included in the county's two proposed areas for beach restoration. Indian River County has a relatively undeveloped shoreline, compared with counties further south. The :lungs and natural vegetation are intact in most areas. However, in the areas listed the dunes have been trampled by pedestrian and vehicular traffic and vegetation destroyed. The dunes and natural vegetation are a valuable resource as they help retain windblown sand and provide upland protection from storms by absorbing wave impact. To serve Indian River County's growing population and tourism industry, better beach access is required. The proposed improvements will help meet the goals of better access and storm protection. Project Need: These improvements are important for several reasons: Better beach access is required to serve the county's growing population. Unless steps are taken to prevent foot and vehicle traffic over the dunes, they will erode and provide less protection to the beach road and other upland structures. Dune cuts will be filled in to provide a continuous dune line along the beach. Planting vegetation such as seagrape and sea oats will stabilize the newly filled cuts and other dune areas where vegetation is sparse. Also, vegetation such as Spanish bayonets can be planted along access areas to further encourage beach visitors to use the overwalk structures. Dune overwalks will provide greater access to the beach and protect the restored dunes and vegetation.
