EXHIBIT "B" Narrative Description: Indian River County proposes to initiate a project that will address the beach erosion that is occurring in the northern portion of Indian River County. The project area is between the Sebastian Inlet and south to the Town of Indian River Shores including the Wabasso Beach Park. This area has lost a considerable amount of sand in recent years which is threatening the loss of valuable environmental habitat, public park facilities and residential developments. The proposed project will utilize dredge material or upland sand for beach restoration/renourishment at public beaches and private property within the project area. The source of dredge material will be investigated. Beach compatible material will be placed on the beaches while non -compatible material may be placed offshore to create a submerged breakwater or sand bar. In addition, environmental restoration and enhancement will be conducted on the beach dunes for sediment retention and to encourage wildlife utilization. Funding is requested to conduct a marine habitat study, sand source identification and engineering design. The marine habitat study will include aerial photography and ground truthing surveys to map the hard bottom communities. The sand source identification will locate the beach compatible and non -compatible material that is proposed to be removed and placed on the beach. The engineering design will include the expansion of a numerical model, now being completed by the Sebastian Inlet District, and the preparation of plans and documents for permits. The numerical model will be expanded to include the entire project area. This model will be used to predict the probable movement of sediments and to evaluate the best locations for beach nourishment and offshore bar creation. C:\WPWIN60\DATA96\ER03.EY.H EXHIBIT "C" Description of Project Need The northern portions of Indian River County in the vicinity of Wabasso Beach have been experiencing beach erosion and a recession of the shoreline. This erosion has caused loss of the natural protective dune and vegetation and is threatening the loss of public infrastructure and private residents. In order to maintain the existing shoreline and recreational beach, the beach/dune system must be renourished and/or protected. Restoration of historical sand volumes and native vegetation must be accomplished to reduce the additional loss of public property. The winter of 1993/94 has caused erosion sufficient for the County to require emergency fill permits at Wabasso Beach Park, and adjacent homes have constructed coastal armoring structures. A historical prospective was prepared by Coastal Technology Corporation (see Exhibit "D"). This report indicates that the Wabasso Beach area has one of the highest erosion rates in the County.
