BUTLER, CLERK 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 A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK 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. FWC/DV-APP (Feb 2020) 3 Rule 68-1.003 b) C) d) A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK 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. FWC/DV-APP (Feb 2020) 4 Rule 68-1.003 A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L.
