SCOPE OF WORK
Indian River County Beach Preservation Project - Sectors 1 & 2
Post-Construction Monitoring Services
Introduction:
The Indian River County Sectors 1 & 2 Beach Renourishment project is located along
the shoreline south of Sebastian Inlet, at Sebastian Inlet State Park and unincorporated
Ambersand Beach and extends between FDEP reference monuments R-3 . 5 and R-17 .
Renourishment of the project will occur within the 06-07 dredging season .
This scope of services details pre- and post construction biological monitoring tasks
required under state and federal permit for this project.
Task 1 - Nearshore Hardbottom Monitoring Plan
The objectives of the nearshore hardbottom monitoring program are to describe the
abundance and biodiversity of the benthic flora and fauna within the influence of the
predicted equilibrium toe of fill (ETOF), turbidity mixing zone, and downdrift of the project
fill area; evaluate the extent of the ETOF as compared to the predicted ETOF, assess
the potential burial of hardbottom due to beach profile adjustment; assess secondary
impacts to hardbottom communities due to sedimentation seaward of the ETOF; assess
secondary impacts to hardbottom communities due to the longshore spreading of beach
fill material downdrift of the project area; and to assess the potential direct impacts to
nearshore hardbottom communities due to pipeline placement.
Permanent CrossShore Transects: Video and Stili Photographic Documentation
Five, 150-meter long transects shall be located within the project area : R-5, R-6. 5 , R-8,
R-9. 5 , and R-10.5 . One transect shall be located downdrift of the project area at R-12,
and two reference transects shall be established: one at R-19 . 5 and one at R-22 . The
transects shall be permanently established using pins or rods to mark each 0 point at the
landward edge of exposed nearshore hardbottom . If a ledge exists at the nearshore
hardbottom edge, the 0 point shall be located on the top (i .e. crest) of the nearshore
hardbottom ledge on the horizontal surface . Pins will then be installed along all
transects at the 5-meter mark, 10-meter mark, and every 10 meters until 100 meters,
with an additional pin installed at 125 meters and one at 150 meters. The pins shall
extend a minimum of 30 cm above the hardbottom surface.
No pins shall be located within the sand gaps between hardbottom ridges. If significant
sand gaps (i.e. troughs) occur between the hardbottom ridges, a pin shall be placed at
the seaward edge of the first hardbottom ridge, and installation of pins will recommence
at the next hardbottom ridge with a pin at the 0 mark (crest or edge of exposed
hardbottom) . Pin installation will then continue at 5 meters from the second 0 mark, and
then every 10 meters until the 100 meter mark, with additional pins at 125 meters and
150 meters. DGPS positioning will be obtained for the landward edge (0 mark) and
seaward edge of the first nearshore hardbottom ridge, and for all subsequent
hardbottom ridges located seaward along the 150- meter transect.

J
The 150-meter transects shall be sampled using digital video in progressive scan mode.
The diver shall swim at a speed of approximately 6 meter/min with a constant camera
distance of 25 cm above bottom . If the diver is moved off the transect by surge, the
diver shall return to the point where he/she was disturbed by the wave action , and
resume filming at that point. The video transects shall be reviewed during the course of
the survey to ensure that there are no gaps in the data due to diver error and that the
quality of the video is acceptable for video analysis. Any missing video transect data or
poor quality video shall be refilmed during the course of the monitoring event.
Landscape panoramic views shall be recorded with the digital video camera at the start
and end of each transect, and at each interruption of the transect by a sand
gap/recommencement at the next hardbottom ridge. Close-up digital still
video/photographs shall be obtained of representative benthos along the transect to aid
in identification during video analysis. Still photographs shall be obtained using the
digital video camera or digital still camera at all quadrat locations, vertical ledges, large
Oculina spp. colonies or Siderastrea siderea colonies along the transect or adjacent to
transect (within underwater visibility during transect establishment) , and changes in
benthic landscape along the transect. Voucher sampling of macroalgae shall be
conducted to assist with video identification of macroalgae genera .
Video Transect Analysis
During each monitoring even , two, 20-meter long segments of the video transect shall be
quantitatively analyzed using PointCount'99 or a comparable software package based
upon the random point count method for estimation of percent cover from digitally frame-
grabbed underwater video images. The first 20-meter segment shall correspond to the
first 20 meters of hardbottom (commence at the 0 point at the exposed nearshore
hardbottom edge and continue to the 20-meter mark) . The second 20-meter segment
shall cross hardbottom between 50 and 100 meters along each transect. The exact
location of the second 20-meter segment shall be determined at the time of transect
establishment based upon the benthic landscape and location of hardbottom ridges
along the transect, and shall be referenced to the nearest pin along the transect for
repeated occupation of the same stretch of transect for video analysis. DGPS
positioning will be obtained for the start point of the second 20-meter segment along
each transect.
Each 20-meter segment shall result in approximately 100 non-overlapping frame-
grabbed images. A unique set of 20 random points shall be generated at the time of
frame-grabbing and stored with each set of images so that the same points are
assessed during each monitoring event. This also ensures that each person examining a
particular image will view the same points, thereby allowing for double-blind counting for
quality assurance and control purposes. Ten percent (10%) of the images shall be
counted by two scorers to assess inter-observer variability.
An estimate of percent cover (projected to the surface) will be performed for each image
according to the following functional groups/categories: scleractinian corals (to the genus
level), octocorals, macroalgae (to the genus level if possible, if not, then according to the
following breakdown : calcareous red , calcareous green , fleshy brown, fleshy red , fleshy
green) , microalgae/cyanobacteria , sponges, tunicates, hydroids, wormrock, zoanthids,
urchins, holothuroids, and substrate. Substrate shall be broken down into the following
categories: unconsolidated substrate (rubble/shell hash , rhodoliths) , sediment over
C:U)o enls aml Se ngslIona wVkLocal SottugslTemporary traem Fllea\OMEW a FINAL.Eoc
2
hardbottom, sediment over benthos (where the underlying fauna cannot be identified
due to the sediment cover) , and sand .
The remainder of the 150-meter video transect shall be reviewed for qualitative changes
in benthic community cover/composition in comparison to the pre-construction surveys,
previous annual surveys, and the reference sites. If the qualitative review of the video
transect suggests sedimentation impacts or cross-shore transport of sediments over the
benthic community along the remaining portions of the transect, and the results of the
sedimentation monitoring and quadrat assessments indicate burial of hardbottom
communities, additional quantitative analysis of the video transects shall be required as
directed by the Department to determine the extent of the project-related impacts.
Quadrat sampling
During each survey , a 0.25 square meter gridded quadrat will be sampled by the
diver/biologist at a several point-intercept locations along the 150-meter long transects.
The first quadrat will be located at the nearshore hardbottom edge . If the hardbottom
edge consists of a vertical ledge, one quadrat will be located along the vertical/sub-
vertical face, a second quadrat will be located at the top of the ledge along at the
horizontal face of the ledge, and the third quadrat shall be placed at the 5-meter mark
along the transect. Additional quadrat sampling shall occur along each transect to
capture changes in benthic landscape (physical relief, species dominance/abundance,
presence of stony corals/octocorals along or immediate adjacent to the transect) . If the
transect crosses a sand gap (i.e. trough) , a quadrat shall be sampled at the seaward
edge of the exposed hardbottom , and at the west edge of hardbottom east of the sand
gap (i . e. on the horizontal face of the crest of the next ledge). The distance across the
sand gap shall be noted and is included within the 150-meter length of the transect.
Quadrats shall not be placed in the sand gaps between hardbottom ridges. Each 150-
meter transect shall have approximately 9-10 quadrats. A list of the locations of the
quadrats along each transect with a description of the quadrat location/benthic
community shall be provided to the Department after transect establishment.
Parameters for Quadrat Sampling
Within each quadrat, visual estimate of percent cover and genus/species identification
shall be performed in-situ for the following functional groups: macroalgae (overall
percent cover and identification/percent cover of two dominant species within quadrat),
microalgae/cyanobacteria, encrusting calcareous algae, sponges (genus level) , with a
separate assessment of percent cover of boring sponge (Cliona spp) , tunicates (with
identification of dominant genera), zoanthids (genus level), hydroids, wormrock
(Phragmatopoma lapidosa) , octocorals (genus level) , and scleractinian corals (species
level) . Individual counts shall be conducted for all octocorals, scleractinian corals,
sponges (not including Cliona spp. which shall be assessed for percent cover) , solitary
tunicates, urchins, and holothuroids within the quadrat.
Scleractinian corals and octocorals shall also be assessed for size class distribution :
size class 1 : < 5 cm diameter of scleractinian/height of octocoral ; size class 2 : 5 cm to
15 cm diameter of scleractinian/height of octocoral; size class 3: 15 to 25 cm diameter of
scleractinian/height of octocoral; and size Gass 4: >25 cm diameter of
scleractinian/height of octocoral) . Maximum and average algal height of the two
C1Do eft ar WhVsyona wgIL=1 Settlrgl% wrwy kte RmXOIK2M2 sox FPlAI.d

dominant macroalgal species shall also be recorded . Average algal height shall be
estimated by five measurements.
Percent cover of substrate, unconsolidated substrate (rubble, shell hash, rhodoliths),
sand and sediment over hardbottom shall be recorded . The maximum physical relief of
hardbottom from the lowest point to highest point in the quadrat, shall be measured to
the nearest centimeter.
Sediment accumulation measurements will be performed within all quadrats located on
the flat (horizontal) surface of hardbottom along each transect. Five random
measurements of sediment thickness will be performed with each quadrat using a ruler
to measure to the nearest cm. Continuous layers of sediment less than 1 cm covering
the hardbottom surface and benthos shall be recorded . Sediment accumulation
measurements shall also be recorded at each pin along the transect and at 1 -meter west
of each pin (with the exception of the pins marking the nearshore hardbottom edge)
using a ruler to measure to the nearest cm.
Monitoring Schedule
Monitoring events shall consist of a pre-construction survey conducted in the summer
prior to construction , an immediate post-construction survey conducting during the
summer after project completion (May 1 through September 30), and three subsequent
annual post-construction monitoring events conducted during the summer months (May
1 through September 30). This proposal specifically addresses monitoring requirements
for the 2007 monitoring event. Additional monitoring events will be addressed under
separate authorization.
Deliverables/Reporting Requirements
All data deliverables shall be provided within 60 days after completion of the survey.
Data deliverables include all digital video transects on compact disk, frame-grabbed
images from all transects on compact disk, PointCount files and associated data (i.e.
PTS files, MGR files, cd .dat files) , Excel spreadsheets of Point Count data (raw data and
summary files) , and Excel spreadsheets of in-situ quadrat data . The monitoring reports,
with appropriate graphics/tables, statistical analysis of the collected data and
assessment of project-related impacts to the hardbottom communities, shall be provided
within 90 days after completion of the survey. Reports shall be provided in both hard
copy and digital format.
Notification Requirements: Adverse weather conditions and Implementation of
the Contingency Monitoring Plan
During the course of each survey, the Consultant shall submit weekly progress reports
via email to the County Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems. The weekly progress
reports shall consist of a brief narrative describing the progress of work during the week
and predicted schedule for the following week. If adverse weather conditions are
encountered which do not allow for field operations, the biological consultant shall
maintain a log of all attempts to conduct the survey and weather/visibility conditions
which prevented collection of the required data. If the biological monitoring team
encounters poor visibility conditions that prevent collection of data while they are in the
field , conditions shall be documented with digital video at the site.
C: Ooeunente end SmngsyomImngV_a 8e ngs\Temporary Intemat ReSIOLK2EV02 sow FINAL dao 4
After demonstration of diligence and repeated failed attempts by the consultant to collect
the monitoring data according to the permitted protocol, if the required monitoring is less
than 50% complete by August 15th due to the persistently adverse visibility conditions,
the County and the Consultant shall coordinate with Department staff to schedule a
Department site visit during the second half of August. The consultant shall continue to
monitor weather conditions and attempt to collect the required data until the Department
site visit. After the site visit, Department staff may make recommendations/revisions to
the monitoring protocol to expedite the collection of the data . After coordination and
approval by Department staff, if the required monitoring is less than 50% complete by
August 31ot, the County shall implement the approved contingency monitoring plan .
Task 2 - Post-Construction Turtle Nesting Monitoring
( May 1 , 2007 to October 31 , 2007)
Sea turtle permit-compliance monitoring following construction of Indian River County's
Beach Nourishment Project for Sectors 1 and 2 at Ambersand Beach is required by DEP
Permit Number 0166929-001 -JC Special Condition 130), and additionally by the Biological
Monitoring Plan. Ecological Associates, Inc. (EAI) shall perform the efforts described in
this task under subcontract with ATM . The post-construction sea turtle protection program
shall be implemented as noted herein:
1 ) Project Boundaries. The designed project area is approximately 2.5 miles in
length , extending from DEP monument R-3 .5 to R- 12 .
2) Monitoring Period. Monitoring activities will commence on May 1 , 2007 and
continue through approximately October 31 , 2007 , as stipulated below.
3) Daily Morning Surveys. Daily early morning (shortly after sunrise) sea turtle
nesting surveys will commence on May 1 , 2007 and continue uninterrupted through
September 15, 2007. Thereafter, monitoring will be conducted several days each
week until the last marked nest has hatched . Surveys will be conducted using
ATVs.
All emergences (turtle crawls) apparent from the previous night will be interpreted to
determine which species of turtle came ashore and whether or not it nested. Crawls will
be denoted as being either above or below the previous high tide line . Only those crawls
above the tide line will be included in data summaries and analyses.
Nests and false crawls will be recorded by pre-established survey zones. These zones
will be consistent with those established in the Biological Monitoring Plan for the project.
Each false crawl will be categorized as to the stage at which the nesting attempt was
abandoned in conformance with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
(FWC) requirements for beach restoration projects. Additionally, all obstacles (e.g . ,
scarps, seawalls, etc. ) encountered by turtles during their emergences onto the beach
will be documented .
The location of each nest will be recorded using a hand-held GPS unit capable of
determining positions to with 10- 16 feet (3-5 meters) of the actual geographic location.
This data will be incorporated into EAI's GIS database and nest distribution maps
C:1Dpcim v Seflirgs4orieflreepLLo [ SettirpslTe porWy Meurer FIIesOMEW bow FWALtl
5
produced for inclusion in a year-end summary report.
4) Nest Marking. At least 75 loggerhead nests will be marked for the purpose of
determining nest fate and reproductive success. The clutch of each marked nest will
be located and surrounded by a series of small stakes connected by brightly colored
surveyor's tape. Marked 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 FWC guidelines,
nests will be excavated to determine reproductive success. Nest contents will be
assigned to standard categories (e.g . , unhatched eggs, dead hatchlings, etc. )
developed by FWC . Two measures of reproductive success will then 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) .
5) Scarp Monitoring. Once each week between May 1 and September 15, 2007, the
beach will be monitored for the presence of escarpments (scarps). In accordance
with FWC protocol , scarps will be functionally defined as an abrupt change in beach
slope (greater than 450) that is at least 18 inches in height, and persists for a
distance of 100 feet or more. Each scarp observed during the survey will be
assigned to one of three categories (0 to 2 feet, 2 to 4 feet, and 4 feet or higher) .
Additionally, the location of both the northern and southern terminus of each scarp
will be noted relative to the nearest DEP reference monument. This information will
be used to calculate the percentage of the total project area affected by scarps.
6) Data management, All data collected during the project will be incorporated into an
Access database maintained by EAI. Appropriate QA measures will be implemented
to ensure that data are completely and accurately transferred from field data sheet to
the electronic database.
7) Reporting. Records of daily monitoring activities, including names of monitoring
personnel and times of monitoring will be maintained for the duration of monitoring.
Reporting of Scarps - In accordance with FWC permit requirements, EAI will report
immediately to ATM and County if any scarp formations are observed , so FWC can
be notified .
Monthly Data Summaries - Each month , EAI will submit a summary report that will
include the following information :
A log of monitoring activities;
Number of nests and false crawls by species and survey zone;
Number of nests marked for reproductive success;
Fate of marked nests; and
Results of scarp monitoring .
Year-end Report - Within 60 days of completion of all monitoring activities, or as
otherwise agreed upon, EAI will submit a final report of findings along with a brief
interpretive report assessing project affects on nesting and reproductive success. A
map depicting nest and scarp locations relative to DEP monuments will be appended
to the report. The fate and reproductive success of all marked nests will be
C0ents and SWingsyonaR ,anal Saftwgffemporery briemal FIIBsl0LK2EUo2 sow FIKAL.doc
6
tabulated , and an estimate of total hatchling production for the built project will be
calculated . To the extent possible, EAI will compare nesting and reproductive
success data for the nourished beach with data collected by other permit holders on
adjacent beaches. The year-end report will be provided to ATM and the County in
both hard copy and electronic format (PDF) and will be accompanied by an
electronic spreadsheet containing all raw data for transmittal to FWC.
All activities described above will be performed under FWC Marine Turtle Permit TP-010
in accordance with current or future superseding conditions and guidelines issued by the
permitting agency. The monitoring program described herein will comply with all
conditions related to sea turtle compliance monitoring contained in the regulatory
permit(s) issued for the beach nourishment project, for the 2007 marine turtle nesting
season only. It is noted that the DEP permit requires monitoring for two additional years.
Indian River County is developing a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for sea turtles that
will include much of the survey effort that is required by the beach restoration permit,
and it is assumed that once the HCP is initiated , these efforts can be combined. For this
reason , this scope includes only the first year of turtle nesting monitoring required by the
permit.
Task 3 = Nearshore Turtle Monitoring ( Fall 2006 to Spring 2009 )
The Biological Monitoring Plan for the Indian River County Sectors 1 &2 beach
restoration project contains an element for assessing sea turtle population levels in the
nearshore area throughout the County. This assessment is to be conducted semi-
annually pre-construction 2006 , and continuing for three successive years thereafter. In-
Water Research Group (IRG) will complete the field and statistical efforts described in
this task under subcontract with ATM. The data is to be used to determine seasonal
differences in sea turtle abundance in the nearshore environment, as well as differences
in sea turtle abundance at differing distances offshore and at different locations within
the County. To provide for sufficient data for analysis, two complete surveys, as
described below, will be needed each sampling period . The complete project will require
seven sampling periods, with two sampling events per period , for a total of 14
countywide sea turtle surveys.
Task 3.1 Field Surveys:
Surveys will be conducted along a series of 3-kilometer long transects previously
established by Indian River County. Study sites and survey methodology will be in
accordance with the Indian River County Sectors 1 &2 Beach Restoration Project
Biological Monitoring Plan prepared by Applied Technology and Management (ATM) and
Indian River County .
Task 3.2 Data Analysis:
Data will be tabulated and transmitted to ATM and Indian River County (IRC) at the
conclusion of each survey effort. At the conclusion of the study, ANOVA or other
appropriate statistical treatments will be employed to statistically compare turtle
CiDooumsms a SeWrasyomfluM% .ocsl Settings\Temporary Menet Fil"1OLK2Eho2 sow FMALA 7
abundances between seasons, sites, and distances offshore. For seasonal
comparisons, data from the north, south and central survey zones will be pooled . To
analyze differences between the survey zones, data from all observations will be pooled .
To analyze differences in turtle abundance at different distances offshore, the sub-
contractor (IRG) will pool data from all survey zones and periods.
Task 3.3 Report Preparation :
Annual summary reports and a final report at the conclusion of the project completely
describing the methods, results and conclusions of the survey project shall be provided .
Additionally, a summary report of the 2001 nearshore turtle transect work to serve as a
pre-construction baseline for the proposed monitoring shall be provided. All reporting
and transmittal efforts shall be conducted by IRG and Indian River County. ATM staff
shall have no role in review and comment on draft reports, nor in the submittal of said
documents to regulatory agencies.
It is assumed that the first surveys will be conducted in the spring quarter (April-June)
2007. Following the initial surveys, surveys will then be conducted in: Fall 2006 (August-
September) , Spring 2007 (April-June), Fall 2007 (August-September) , Spring 2008
(April-June) , Fall 2008 (August-September), and Spring 2009 (April-June).
Task 4 - Juvenile Green Turtle Netting Studies
Per the February 2003 amendment to the Indian River County Sectors 1 &2 Beach
Restoration Project Biological Monitoring Plan , netting studies shall be utilized to directly
assess the potential effects of beach restoration activities on turtles in nearshore reef
foraging habitats.
Data that has been collected by turtle researchers at the University of Central Florida
(UCF) shall be utilized for this purpose. UCF researchers have been conducting netting
for over a decade in the nearshore directly offshore from the proposed Sector 1 and 2
project area. The extensive Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) data they have collected since
1989 can serve as a baseline from which project effects can be assessed .
UCF staff will conduct the nearshore reef netting effort in the summer 2006 (pre-
construction) and following construction and in two subsequent summers (2007 & 2008)
including data analysis and report preparation on the effects of the project on foraging
marine turtle CPUE.
Task 5 - Post Construction Beach Tilling ( First Year Post
Construction)
As required by permit, tilling of the project is required prior to turtle nesting season for
two years following project construction. Tilling is required to mitigate for beach
compaction related to project construction. Under this task tilling of the project area as
