BUTLER, CLERK -"Atom. ECOLOGICAL ASSOCIATES, INC. January 21, 2025 Ecological Associates, Inc. (EAI) is pleased to submit its Scope of Work and Cost Proposal for providing professional environmental services in support of Indian River County's Sector 4 Dune Restoration Project. This proposal addresses post -construction sea turtle and shorebird permit -compliance monitoring along approximately 2.9 miles of beach during the 2025 nesting season, along with a suitable reference area, as described in the Scope of Work presented below. This monitoring will comply with all applicable conditions set forth in the regulatory permits and related authorizations issued for the project. SCOPE OF WORK This scope of work was developed based on conditions and requirements set forth in standard regulatory permits and the following documents: ➢ Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Joint Coastal Permit (JCP) No. 0441083 -001 -JC ➢ U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit No. SAJ-2023-02844 ➢ U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Revised Statewide Programmatic Biological Opinion (BO) dated March 13, 2015 Task 1: Mobilization All equipment, staff, and schedules will be prepared prior to project commencement. The Project Area extends approximately 2.9 miles from FDEP Range Monument R-55 to R-70. Survey zone boundaries, consistent with those established by Indian River County under its Habitat Conservation Plan, will be marked, and project -specific data sheets and a database will be created. Task 2: Project Management An EAI project manager will oversee all fieldwork and data management operations and consult with Coastal Tech on permit requirements, as necessary. A project A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK Ecological Associates. Inc. — Scope of Work and Cost Proposal 2 schedule, as well as field survey schedules, will be created and maintained throughout the life of the project. All equipment and supplies necessary to successfully implement this Scope of Work are available. Task 3: Daily Sea Turtle Monitoring and Data Management (FDEP Specific Condition 11) Following completion of construction or beginning on March 1, 2025 (whichever is later), EAI will conduct daily morning sea turtle nesting surveys of the Project Area and a suitable Reference Area (a nearby beach with similar characteristics that is outside of the influence of the project). Surveys will continue through November 11, 2025, or until 15 days without a crawl in the Project or Reference Areas, whichever is earlier. If there is a fifteen -day period where no crawls are documented in the Project or Reference Areas, EAI will request a waiver from the USFWS and FWC to discontinue daily monitoring. If permission is granted, EAI will then perform surveys three days per week to monitor marked nests. Surveys will commence within 30 minutes of sunrise. Monitoring will be performed by EAI staff either on foot or using ATVs. All emergences (turtle crawls) apparent from the previous night will be interpreted to determine which species of turtle came ashore and whether it nested. Crawls will be denoted as being above or below the previous high tide line. The approximate geographic location of each crawl will be determined by GPS (sub -meter accuracy). In addition to segregating crawls into nesting and non -nesting emergences (false crawls), each false crawl will be assigned to one of the following categories denoting the stage at which the nesting attempt was abandoned: no digging, abandoned body pit, or abandoned egg cavity. Any obstacles encountered by turtles during their crawls will be documented. Disorientation Reporting. During the course of daily monitoring, any evidence of hatchling misorientation or disorientation from either marked or unmarked nests will be documented using FWC's electronic Marine Turtle Hatchling Disorientation Incident Report Form. Based on track evaluations, an estimate of the number of hatchlings disoriented will be recorded and light sources potentially responsible for the disorientation identified. Information concerning each incident will be forwarded by email to Indian River County on a weekly basis so appropriate remedial action may be taken. Stranding and Salvage. A requirement of FWC sea turtle permit holders conducting nesting surveys is to respond to the stranding of sick, injured, and dead sea turtles within their survey area. These animals are examined, and if alive, transported to state - approved care facilities. A standard Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage data form will be completed and submitted for each stranded animal encountered by EAI. This information will be transmitted to FWC in accordance with established guidelines. State and Federal Authorizations. All sea turtle monitoring and related activities will be performed under FWC Marine Turtle Permit #261 issued by FWC to EAI Co- A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK Ecological Associates, Inc. — Scope of Work and Cost Proposal 3 President and Director of Operations, Niki Desjardin. All persons engaged in monitoring performed by EAI for the Sector 4 Dune Restoration Project will be listed on the permit. All data will be subject to rigorous QA/QC protocols and stored in EAI's project - specific database. Monthly summary reports will be furnished to Coastal Tech. These reports will tabulate the dates and times of monitoring, names of monitoring personnel, numbers of sea turtle emergences by species, and numbers of nests marked and evaluated for reproductive success, as applicable. Monthly reports will be submitted to Coastal Tech by the last day of the month following delivery of services (e.g., March report due no later than April 30), or as otherwise mutually agreed upon. Task 4: Nest Marking and Monitoring (FDEP Specific Condition 11) A representative sample of nests in the Project and Reference Areas will be marked for determination of nest fate and reproductive success (not to exceed 750 nests total). Nests will be marked using a series of stakes and surveyor's tape. These nests will be monitored throughout their incubation period to determine nest fate (e.g., hatched, washed out, depredated, vandalized, etc.). After an appropriate incubation period, and in accordance with the FWC Handbook, nests will be excavated to determine reproductive success. Two measures of reproductive success will be calculated: hatching success (the percentage of eggs in the nest that hatch) and emerging success (the percentage of eggs in the nest that produce hatchlings which successfully escape from the nest). Task 5: Nesting Shorebird Monitoring (FDEP Specific Condition 17) Following completion of construction or beginning on March 1, 2025 (whichever is later), weekly surveys to identify shorebird/seabird nesting activity within the Project Area will be conducted through September 1, 2025, if no shorebird nesting activity is observed. The surveys will be conducted on foot or by ATV and will cover all potential beach nesting bird habitats within the Sector 4 Project Area. EAI will report all breeding activity to the Florida Shorebird Database within one week of data collection. Shorebird monitoring activities will comply with all protocols outlined on the Florida Shorebird Database website. *If construction activities take place entirely outside the breeding season, shorebird surveys are not required Task 6: Post -Construction Escarpment Surveys (FDEP Specific Condition 14) Following completion of construction or beginning on March 1, 2025 (whichever is later), scarp surveys will be conducted on a weekly basis within the Sector 4 Project Area through October 31, 2025. In accordance with FWC protocol, scarps are functionally defined as an abrupt change in beach slope (greater than 45°) at least 18 inches in height that persists for a distance of 100 feet or more. The location of both the northern and southern terminus of each scarp will be recorded by GPS and average scarp height assigned to one of three categories (0 to 2 feet, 2 to 4 feet, and 4 feet or A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK Ecological Associates, Inc. — Scope of Work and Cost Proposal 4 higher). Additionally, the maximum height of each scarp will be measured. The location (relative to R -monuments), approximate length, height category, maximum height, and percentage of beach scarped will be presented in tabular and/or graphic format for reporting purposes. EAI will notify Coastal Tech of any persistent scarps within the Project Area that may interfere with sea turtle nesting. Coastal Tech shall be responsible for notifying FWC of the presence of those scarps and for coordinating any remediation measures, if required. Any services required of EAI during scarp consultation and leveling will be charged separately on a time and materials basis. Tasks 7a -7d: Lighting Surveys (FDEP Specific Condition 15) Two surveys (one between May 1 and May 15 and another between July 15 and August 1) of beachfront lighting conditions within the Project Area will be performed. The location, number, and type of lights visible from the beach and not in compliance with Indian River County's lighting regulations will be documented and reported to the County. Photos will also be taken of all lights visible from the nourished beach. Additional lighting surveys may be requested by FWC and will be conducted from the crest of the reconstructed dune in areas with documented nesting on top of or landward of the reconstructed dune. A sub -meter GPS will be used to record coordinates from which observations are made, and results will be provided to Coastal Tech in standard report form as well as on an Excel spreadsheet. Reports, including recommendations for correcting problem lights, will be provided within 30 days of each survey. It shall be the responsibility of Coastal Tech to work with Indian River County to notify property owners of non-compliant lights. Following submission of an annual report on enforcement actions (to be prepared by Coastal Tech /Indian River County), an EAI lighting specialist will participate in a meeting with Coastal Tech, Indian River County, FWC, and USFWS to discuss the survey reports and marine turtle disorientations documented within the Project Area, if required. Tasks 8a -8b: Reporting (FDEP Specific Condition 16) Nesting Season Summary: A report summarizing methods, numbers of sea turtle emergences by species, nest fates of all marked nests, and reproductive success of evaluated nests, and an assessment of project performance on sea turtle nesting and reproductive success, including interpretive analyses and graphic representations, will be prepared and submitted to Coastal Tech within 90 days of the completion of all monitoring activities. 2. Summary Spreadsheet of Sea Turtle Nesting Activity: At the end of the 2025 nesting season, a permit -required Excel spreadsheet summarizing all nesting activity and reproductive success within the Project and Reference Areas will be prepared and submitted electronically to Coastal Tech /Indian River County, JCP Compliance, and FWC.
