PROJECT SUMMARY
November 2025 Indian River County Derelict Vessel Removal
As of October 15, 2025, one Authorization Letter has been issued for Derelict Vessel (DVs) removal within
the boundaries of Indian River County. Indian River County, Lagoon Division is coordinating the removal
efforts for the vessel. The County is seeking a FWC Rapid Removal Derelict Vessel Grant for full
reimbursement of the contracted amount for this project.
A licensed and insured contractor (Outlaw Maritime LLC) will be utilized by the County to properly and
safely remove the DV adhering to the best management practices. A Scope of Work has been developed
by County Staff to guide the Contractor in the removal.
The County will provide Lagoon Division Staff to observe and photographically record the removal process.
Photographs documenting the removal process will be incorporated into the final report. Local FWC Law
Enforcement will also be offered to observe the removal process. Upon completion, Staff will inspect the
removal locations to ensure all debris has been removed.
BUDGET
The following table is the cost to remove the DV provided from Outlaw Maritime LLC. The quoted price
includes sea turtle nest observation during the removal process.
MAP ID Case Number Cost to Remove
1 FWC240N0092116 $33,995.00
TOTAL $33,995.00
SCOPE OF WORK
The County sought a removal quote from Outlaw Maritime LLC to provide removal of the derelict vessel
(DVs) from the waters of the state, transport the vessel and vessel parts to an approved landfill facility
and destroy the vessel. The contractor will use Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Best
Management Practices for Derelict Vessel Removal. This includes protective measures and equipment to
prevent erosion and pollution during the removal process. Attached you will find maps and details of the
DVs authorized for removal by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Law Enforcement.
Derelict Vessel Removal Background
Derelict vessels are navigational hazards to boaters, negatively impact the environment and are aesthetic
nuisances. Typically, these vessels are found grounded on the edges of active waterways where they may
have physical impacts on benthic and shoreline communities. However, the impact of these vessels is not
limited to their immediate location. If left unattended, the influences of winds and tides continue to push
the boats, causing greater impact as they become more deeply mired in the environment. Early extraction
of these vessels will avoid and minimize the environmental impacts. In addition to the physical impacts
resulting from the movement of these vessels through the environment, there are long term effects
caused by their continued degradation and decay in the marine environment. These vessels may be
constructed of various materials, such as wood, steel, aluminum, or fiberglass; each having varying
FWC/DV-APP (Feb 2020) 2 Rule 68-1.003

degrees of resilience and can remain in the marine environment for extended periods of time. With the
progression of time, the environmental impacts increase because of the shading from the hull and
displacement of live bottom and emergent vegetative communities resulting from the expansion of the
debris field as the vessel disintegrates. The impacts resulting from the removal of these vessels during any
stage is less than the impacts caused by the long-term presence of the vessel in the marine environment.
Therefore, early detection and removal of abandoned and derelict vessels is the best means of minimizing
the individual or cumulative impacts on the environment.
Derelict Vessel Removal (FDEP) Permit Exemption
An Exemption under Florida Administrative Code Chapter 62-330-051(5)(g) by The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, has been established for the removal of derelict vessels. Based on the
presumption the extraction of these vessels from the marine environment will cause only minimal
environmental impacts and in turn avoid the long-term impacts resulting from the degradation of the
vessel at its current location. The environmental impacts are ameliorated by the application of the best
management practices referenced below.
Florida Administrative Code Chapter 62-330-051(5)(8)
(g) The removal of derelict vessels, as defined in Section 823.11(1), F.S., by federal, state, and local
agencies, provided:
1. The derelict vessel case has been completed as specified in Section 705.103, F.S., and has been
entered into the Statewide Derelict Vessel Database maintained by the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission;
2. All work is done in a manner that, to the greatest practicable extent, avoids additional dredging
or filling, grounding or dragging of vessels, and damage to submerged resources such as seagrass
beds, oyster beds, coral communities, mangroves, other wetlands, and live bottom; and
3. An absorbent blanket or boom shall be immediately deployed on the surface of the water around
the derelict vessel if fuel, oil, or other free-floating pollutants are observed during the work
General Derelict Vessel Removal and Environmental Protection Best Management
Practices
The following best management practices (BMPs) will be employed by the marine contractor during the
removal of the derelict vessels. The BMPs will be incorporated into the contract for the vessel removal
project. The marine contractor will be required to show proof of their ability to meet the BMP
requirements with their contingency of equipment, staff and expertise in the removal of derelict vessels.
Compliance with these BMP's will be monitored by the County and by local Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission law enforcement officers. These BMPs are as follows:
a) All Work Is to Meet the Following Requirements:
1. Operations are to be limited to daylight hours.
2. Operations are to be staged from an upland area.

3. All work is to be performed in a manner that avoids and/or minimizes impacts to live bottom and
other resource areas (e.g., seagrass beds, oyster beds, wetlands, mangroves, and other sensitive
habitats) while approaching, working in, and leaving the derelict vessel site.
4. All work shall avoid impacts on manatees, sea turtles, and other species listed by the state and
federal government as threatened or protected.
5. The Contractor will remove all contaminants and pollutants including fuels, batteries, paints,
solvents, black/grey water, and engines from the derelict or otherwise authorized vessel prior to
or immediately after vessel extraction from the water, whichever option is best to prevent
environmental impacts. Any contaminant or pollutant found to be contained within a derelict or
other authorized vessel as well as the used absorbent mats/socks shall be removed by the
Contractor, placed in an approved container, and disposed of properly. The placement of an
absorbent mats/socks on the surface of the water within the turbidity barrier around the derelict
or other authorized vessel is required where free floating product (gas/oil) is observed and under
vessels placed on land.
6. The Contractor is to provide appropriate BMPs approved by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection for erosion control and turbidity protection while each derelict vessel
is being removed. In areas of low to moderate currents, a Type II floating turbidity barrier will be
installed within a ten (10) foot radius of the vessel being removed prior to starting any removal
activities. The turbidity barrier shall be anchored to the bottom of the waterway.
7. The Contractor is to provide appropriate BMPs for erosion control and turbidity prevention
around the vessels/barges being used to remove the derelict vessel and around the perimeter of
any upland staging site where necessary.
8. The Contractor is to monitor turbidity levels throughout removal work.
9. In an effort to reduce turbidity, a crane, winch and/or approved alternate method is to be used
to raise the derelict or other authorized vessel from the water if available.
10. The Contractor will assess turbidity levels and allow them to return to an acceptable level similar
to pre -project condition prior to removal of turbidity measures.
11. The dragging of vessels is to be avoided both on and offshore. All vessels/barges used in vessel
removal shall continually monitor water depths to avoid running aground.
12. The Contractor will load derelict vessels onto a barge and/or flatbed truck (or similar) for proper
disposal.
13. The Contractor is to photo -document all removals as described in SOW Section 6 with pictures
taken before, during and after removal. The Contractor will provide a monthly written report of
all removal activities.
For Derelict Vessels That Are Floating or Lightly Aground:
1. The vessel is to be pumped out as needed and extracted (floated out) during high water.
2. Following extraction, the vessel is to be towed from the grounded location to a boat ramp or other
removal point while avoiding and/or minimizing impacts to live bottom areas.
For Derelict Vessels That Are Hard Aground:
1. The vessel is to be approached using shallow draft vessels.
2. The vessel is to be extracted using a crane from a shallow draft deck barge, by hand using the best
available tools, or similar approach to minimize impacts to the site and surrounding areas.
For Derelict Vessels Sunken in Shallow Water:
a) Install and inflate flotation bags as needed.
