amount of $921,400 for 85,000 cubic yards of dredged sand itemized in Change Orders #1 and Change Order
#2 to the City of Marco Island's contract with Ahtna Marine & Construction for the 2022 Tigertail Lagoon /
Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project, authorize the Chair to execute a Tourist Development
Tax Funding Agreement, authorize the necessary budget amendment and make a finding that this
expenditure promotes tourism.
OBJECTIVE: To approve the City of Marco Island's request for funding.
CONSIDERATIONS: The City of Marco Island is requesting $921,400 in Tourist Development Tax funds from
Collier County for the Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Island Project that is currently under construction. The purpose
of the project is to restore impacts from Hurricane Irma, and improve coastal resiliency, water quality, stability and
improvement of Tigertail Lagoon and Sand Dollar Island. This is a FDEP permitted and awarded City project that
is currently under construction and due to the impacts of Hurricane Ian additional funds are required to complete
the restoration project as designed.
The following information was provided by the City of Marco Island and prepared by engineer Mohamed Dabees,
P.E..
The project was permitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the US Army Corps
of Engineers in February and July of 2022, respectively. The project construction contract was funded by
the City's Hideaway Beach Tax District and awarded to Ahtna Marine & Construction Company in
September 2022 for $3.3M.
The Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration project is a City of Marco Island project
designed to restore and protect valuable ecosystem, recreational assets and tourist attractions. The project in
its entirety is located on public beach and wetland areas designated as Critical Wildlife Area by the State of
Florida and can only be accessed by land through Collier County Tigertail Beach Park at the south part of
the system. The project is in the public interest providing environmental, social, and economic benefits and
storm protection.
The Tigertail Lagoon and Sand Dollar Island ecosystem is a protected natural preserve and a critical
wildlife area that provides valuable habitat for a variety of birds, sea turtles, manatees, and seagrasses.
Tigertail Lagoon and Sand Dollar Island are also valuable Collier County recreational resources for
residents and tourists for birding, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, kitesurfing, walking, shelling and, on
the northern half, boating. The ecosystem is accessed by the public via Collier County's Tigertail Beach
Park at the southern end of the lagoon and via boat at the northern end of the lagoon. Tigertail Beach is one
of 510 points on the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail and is considered one of the best all-around
birding spots in southwest Florida. The County Park is one of only three public beach access points on
Marco Island and receives over 200,000 visitors annually. It has a large public parking area, playground,
food concession, and watercraft rentals. A shuttle bus runs from some hotels to the park. An increasing
number of private, rental, and commercial tourist boats access the lagoon from its northern entrance. The
Tigertail Lagoon and Sand Dollar Island system was impacted by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and was evolving
toward closure when it was further impacted by Hurricane Ian in September 2022.
Hurricane Ian impacted the project area by reducing the sand available in the permitted dredge template
and increasing the sand required to build the protective berm on Sand Dollar Island. The City of Marco
Island initially funded an additional 25,000 cubic yards of dredging from a combination of contingency
allowance and Change Order No. 1. Funding for an additional 60,000 cubic yards was requested from the
use of Tourist Development Tax fund 195. The Tourist Development Council recommended and approved
Packet Pg. 520
02/ 14/2023
the funding of the additional 60,000 cubic yards as well as the reimbursement to the City for the initial
25,000 cubic yards of dredging. The total amount for the expenditure associated with this item is $921,400
for the dredging and placement of 85,000 cubic yards on Sand Dollar Island at $10.84/cu yd. This sand will
address Hurricane Ian's impact on the project area and allow completion of the beach berm on Sand Dollar
Island as designed. The beach berm will provide storm protection for the newly reopened lagoon flow
channel connecting the southern lagoon by the County's Tigertail Beach Park with the northern
lagoon/Gulf entrance that enhances tidal flow and water quality and lagoon recreation for the public. It also
protects the FWC Critical Wildlife Area that is one of the main attractions of the County Park. In addition,
this beach berm restores a section of Sand Dollar Island shoreline within the County Park providing dry
recreational beach for the public and maintaining public access to the 2-mile-long Sand Dollar Island.
A Tourist Development Tax Funding Agreement between the County and the City of Marco Island will be
necessary to allow the County to reimburse the City of Marco for eligible project expenditures.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to this
action.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: Coastal Advisory Committee (CAC) recommended
approval of this expenditure 8-0 on January 12, 2023; however, the CAC did not agree to limit the funding to a one-
time request. The Tourist Development Council (TDC) recommended approval of this expenditure 7-0 on January
23, 2023, and also recommended approval of the reimbursement to the Hideaway Taxing District of the additional
25,000 yards in relation to Change Order #1 for a total of 85,000 cubic yards of sand.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Pursuant to Section 125.0104, Fla. Stat., Lagoon improvement is an authorized
use of tourist development tax revenue with a recommended finding that the item promotes tourism. Section
125.0104(5)(a)5, provides in relevant part: To finance beach park facilities, or beach, channel, estuary, or lagoon
improvement, maintenance, renourishment, restoration, and erosion control, including construction of beach groins
and shoreline protection, enhancement, cleanup, or restoration of inland lakes and rivers to which there is public
access as those uses relate to the physical preservation of the beach, shoreline, channel, estuary, lagoon, or inland
lake or river.
This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. - CMG
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Collier County's Coastal Zone staff has reviewed and supports the request as it
pertains to the Tigertail Lagoon as a one-time contribution to the Project in the total amount requested by the City
of Marco Island of $921,400 (85,000 cubic yards of sand at $10.84 per cubic yard)
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment is required in the amount of $921,400 to reallocate funding within the
TDC Beach Renourishment Fund (195) from reserves to Tigertail Lagoon Project (90007) for a one-time remittance
to the City of Marco Island. The source of funding is the Tourist Development Tax.
RECOMMENDATION: To approve a one-time expenditure of Tourist Development Tax Fund 195 funding in
the amount of $921,400 for 85,000 cubic yards of dredged sand itemized in Change Orders #1 and Change Order
#2 to the City of Marco Island's contract with Ahtna Marine & Construction for the 2022 Tigertail Lagoon / Sand
Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project, authorize the Chair to execute a Tourist Development Tax Funding
Agreement, authorize the necessary budget amendment and make a finding that this expenditure promotes tourism.

Dear Mr. Miller,
As a follow up to the City of Marco Island's presentation at the December 8, 2022 Coastal Advisory
Committee meeting, this letter and attachment provide the City's request for supplemental funding for
the Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project at the January 12, 2023 CAC
meeting. Please include this letter and the attached documentation with the CAC agenda item.
Although the City was able to fully fund the $3,306,187.50 project at the time, the impacts from
Hurricane Ian resulted in additional costs for which the City is requesting supplemental funding
assistance from the County in the amount of $921,400. The supplemental funding will be used to fund
a change order for 85,000 cubic yards of sand from the permitted offshore borrow area at a cost of
$10.84/cu yd and to place this sand on Sand Dollar Island. This sand will address Hurricane Ian's
impact on the project area and allow completion of the berm on Sand Dollar Island as designed. The
berm will provide storm protection for the newly reopened waterway connecting the southern lagoon by
the County Park with the northern lagoon/gulf entrance that enhances tidal flow and water quality and
lagoon recreation for the public. It also protects the Critical Wildlife Area that is one of the main
attractions of the County Park. Finally, this berm also restores a section of Sand Dollar Island shoreline
within the County Park with dry recreational beach for the public and maintains public access to Sand
Dollar Island.
This request for supplemental funding enables the City to complete this project. After Hurricane Ian, it
would be extremely unfortunate not to do this when the resources could be made available, a
contractor is on site, and a very favorable rate has been extended. Failure to act now will require future
remedial action much more quickly than projected and at a far higher future cost. The only other
alternative is to let Tigertail Lagoon at the County Park become a stagnant pond which no one should
be advocating. We hope that you and the CAC will provide a positive recommendation for the
requested funding.
Sincerely,
10�

Dear Mr. Miller,
As a follow up to the City of Marco Island's presentation at the December 8, 2022 Coastal Advisory
Committee meeting, this letter and attachment provide the City's request for supplemental funding for
the Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project at the January 12, 2023 CAC
meeting. Please include this letter and the attached documentation with the CAC agenda item.
Although the City was able to fully fund the $3,306,187.50 project at the time, the impacts from
Hurricane Ian resulted in additional costs for which the City is requesting supplemental funding
assistance from the County in the amount of $921,400. The supplemental funding will be used to fund
a change order for 85,000 cubic yards of sand from the permitted offshore borrow area at a cost of
$10.84/cu yd and to place this sand on Sand Dollar Island. This sand will address Hurricane Ian's
impact on the project area and allow completion of the berm on Sand Dollar Island as designed. The
berm will provide storm protection for the newly reopened waterway connecting the southern lagoon by
the County Park with the northern lagoon/gulf entrance that enhances tidal flow and water quality and
lagoon recreation for the public. It also protects the Critical Wildlife Area that is one of the main
attractions of the County Park. Finally, this berm also restores a section of Sand Dollar Island shoreline
within the County Park with dry recreational beach for the public and maintains public access to Sand
Dollar Island.
This request for supplemental funding enables the City to complete this project. After Hurricane Ian, it
would be extremely unfortunate not to do this when the resources could be made available, a
contractor is on site, and a very favorable rate has been extended. Failure to act now will require future
remedial action much more quickly than projected and at a far higher future cost. The only other
alternative is to let Tigertail Lagoon at the County Park become a stagnant pond which no one should
be advocating. We hope that you and the CAC will provide a positive recommendation for the
requested funding.
Sincerely,
CJustin Martin, P.E.

Tigertail Lagoon/ Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Marco Island
ntroduction
This report is provided in support of the City of Marco Island request to Collier County for supplemental
funding through Tourist Development Council (TDC) to the project: Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Island
Ecosystem Restoration Project. This report is provided as a follow up to the informational meeting and
materials presented at the December 2022 Collier County Coastal Advisory Committee meeting. The
project which aims to restore impacts from Hurricane Irma, and improve coastal resiliency, water quality
and stability of Tigertail Lagoon and Sand Dollar Island is in public interest while providing environmental
and recreational benefits. This is a permitted and awarded city project that is currently under
construction, and due to the impacts of Hurricane Ian supplemental funds are required to complete the
restoration project. The project TDC funding request is for assistance relating to increased project costs
due to impacts from Hurricane Ian. The information herein is provided for additional clarity on the benefits
of the project as support to local tourism and continued public use of the county park and areas enhanced
by this project.
II. Project Overview
The Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Island Restoration on Marco Island is designed to maintain and enhance
an existing coastal barrier system consisting of a 2-mile-long sand spit and tidal lagoon ecosystem along
the northwest shoreline of Marco Island.
The Tigertail Lagoon and Sand Dollar Island ecosystem is a protected natural preserve and a critical wildlife
area that provides valuable habitat for a variety of birds, sea turtles, manatees, and seagrasses. The
Tigertail Lagoon and Sand Dollar Island system was impacted by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and was evolving
toward closure when it was further impacted by Hurricane Ian in late September this year.
The project is part of a nature -based adaptive management plan to restore and stabilize the sandspit and
tidal lagoon through cyclic use of sediment within the system. It is funded by the City of Marco Island
through the Hideaway Beach Tax District. The project aims to restore and enhance the barrier sandspit
degraded by a sequence of storms since Hurricane Irma and re-establish the continuous lagoon flow
channel thereby enhancing tidal exchange and water quality. Total wetland area will be increased by
relocating a portion of the sand spit seaward of its present location to where it was located in
approximately 2017. Figure 1 illustrates the project elements and main features including the protective
beach berm, sand trap and flow channel.
• Protective beach berm: The constructed beach berm will provide enhanced resiliency to high
frequency weather events protecting the lagoon, the critical wildlife area and maintain public
access to the pristine beach and wildlife of this unique environmental and recreational tourist
attraction.
• Sand Trap: the sand trap at the north end of Sand Dollar Island is the main source of sediment
that will also maintain the northern lagoon entrance open to the gulf, while providing beneficial
re -use for excess sediment that continues to accumulate at the end of the spit.
• Flow Channel: the project includes establishing a flow channel that connects the south part of the
lagoon at Tigertail Beach Park to the north part of the lagoon to maintain tidal flow and improve
water quality and public safety.

• Regional sand management: the project also provides improved and sustainable regional sand
management for adjacent inlets at the north part of Marco Island. The sand trap is designed to
reduce shoaling rates at the entrance to lagoon and may also reduce shoaling rates at the
entrance to Collier Creek. The Sand Dollar Island beach berm will also provide a sustainable
disposal area for maintenance dredging of the entrance Collier Creek in lieu of the offshore
borrow area which has limited capacity and intersects with the Capri Pass Navigation Channel
(Figure 1).
III. Public interest and recreational benefits
Tigertail Lagoon and Sand Dollar Island are valuable Marco Island and Collier County recreational
resources for residents and tourists for birding, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, kitesurfing, and
boating.
A. Access
The project in its entirety is located
on public beach and wetland areas
designated as Critical Wildlife Area
by the State of Florida and can only
be accessed by land through the
Collier County Tigertail Beach Park
at the south part of the system.
Tigertail Beach Park is one of 510
points on the Great Florida Birding
and Wildlife Trail and is considered
one of the best all-around birding
spots in southwest Florida. The
County Park is one of only three
public beach access points on
Marco Island and receives over
200,000 visitors annually. It has a
large public parking area,
playground, food concession, and
watercraft rentals. A shuttle bus
runs from some hotels to the park.
In addition, an increasing number
of private, rental, and commercial
tourist boats access the lagoon
from its northern entrance.
Figure 2. Tigertail Beach Park access to the Critical Wildlife Area

Humiston & Moore Engineers
Tigertail Lagoon/ Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Marco Island
B. Tigertail Beach Park: Project development and benefits
The Tigertail Lagoon portion within the County Park constitutes approximately 30 % of the total lagoon
area. Figure 2 shows a map of Tigertail Lagoon /Sand Dollar Island Critical Wildlife Area and the Park as
part of this system. Figure 3 shows the features and attractions of the County Park as listed on the park
entrance sign including shore bird watching, lagoon and beach recreational activities. These recreational
features are threatened due to the system degradation since Hurricane Irma in 2017 and near collapse
following Hurricane Ian in 2022.
The system degradation and concerns of the park visitors were echoed by the actions of the Friends of
Tigertail (FOT), a 501-C3 entity with a mission to preserve and protect the Tigertail Beach area of Collier
County. FOT reached out to Collier County, City of Marco and others raising concerns about the park
conditions and requesting attention and assistance to restore the lagoon post Hurricane Irma. Several
public meetings with all stakeholders including Collier County were led by FOT and held in 2019 and 2020.
The City of Marco Island through funding from Hideaway Beach Tax district initiated the project permitting
later in 2020. A pre -application meeting with permitting agencies and all stakeholders was held in January
2021 including representatives from various departments and management of Collier County. The City of
Marco Island filed permit applications in April 2021. The project was permitted by the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection and the US Army Corps of Engineers in February and July of 2022,
respectively. A detailed timeline of the project is enclosed, Appendix A.
Figure 3 also illustrates the park access and pathways to the gulf shoreline of Sand Dollar Island fronting
the park area. The figure also shows the severe erosion along the park gulf shoreline which was further
impacted by Hurricane Ian in September of 2022.
The Tigertail Beach Park will benefit from the lagoon's significantly improved tidal flow and the
stabilization of wetland and beach areas that are susceptible to over wash and onshore collapse. The top
panel of Figure 4 shows the post Hurricane Ian conditions showing the severe erosion of the gulf shore of
the northern part of the park, the shoaling and collapse of the middle part of sand dollar island, and the
loss of flow connectivity to the norther part of the lagoon. All threatening to diminish the value of the
main features of the park.
The bottom panel of Figure 4 shows the project benefits including reestablishing tidal flow to the lagoon
through the flow channel and establishing a protective beach berm that not only will maintain beach
access to park visitors but also protect the flow channel from frequent shoaling and closure. The project
design includes approximately 100,000 CY over approximately % mile at the Gulf shoreline of the park.
The project benefits also include environmental and water quality monitoring including installation of a
tidal flow and water quality monitoring station in the park lagoon.

C. State determination on project's public interest and recreational benefits
As part of the State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) review and processing of state JCP
permit 0401778-001-JC, the technical environmental and coastal engineering staff and the program
administrative staff have determined that the project is in the public interest and maintain access to
environmental and recreational benefits to the public. The following points provide summary findings
from documentation and statements from Intent to Issue by DEP.
• The overwash and shoaling along the middle section of Sand Dollar Island and Tigertail Lagoon is
causing loss of lagoon habitat.
• The proposed project may reduce potential for adverse impacts to public health, safety and
welfare should the lagoon become stagnant.
• The proposed project will allow for continued use of the area by the public for wildlife
observation and other recreation uses.
• The project will have a net positive benefit to the coastal system.
• The project is in the public interest providing environmental, social and economic benefits and
provide more storm protection.
• The project is expected to maintain this area as an environmental and recreational resource to
the public.
• The project meets the Department criteria for public interest determination.

Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Notice of Intent to Issue Joint Coastal Permit and Authorization to use Sovereign Submerged Lands
Background (bottom of pg 3):
Storm events leading to overwash of the central segment of Sand Dollar Island and shoaling of the mid -section
of Tigertail Lagoon is causing loss of lagoon habitat.
(Top paragraph pg 4)
The proposed project will result in restoring and enhancing aquatic and upland habitats within the coastal
ecosystem of the Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island (TLSDI) system that have deteriorated over time.
(Public Health, Safety or Welfare middle of pg 8)
The proposed ecosystem restoration project may reduce the potential for adverse impacts to public health,
safety or welfare to occur, should the lagoon become stagnant.
(Recreational benefits bottom of page 8)
The restoration and maintenance of the TLSDI will allow continued use by the public for observation of wildlife,
sunbathing, swimming, surfing, recreational fishing and related activities.
Florida Administrative Code (Rule) requirement (pg 11)
Rule 62B-41.005(2), F.A.C. coastal construction authorized by the Department shall have a net positive benefit
to the coastal system.
Sovereign Lands Requirements (pg 12)
Pursuant to Rule 18-21.003(53), F.A.C., The proposed project would be in the public interest because the activity
provides demonstrable environmental, social, and economic benefits, by maintaining a navigable waterway, and
providing more storm protection, without causing any significant environmental harm.
(and top of pg 13)
The proposed project is expected to maintain this environmental and recreational resource so that the public
may continue to enjoy traditional uses of the TLSDI system, including but not limited to, boating, fishing, and
swimming. Removing the overwashed sand from the lagoon will restore natural habitat and return the
biological and recreational value of the area.
Public Interest (top of pg 15)
After weighing the effects of the project for each of the public interest criteria specified in Section 373.414(1),
F.S., and the Environmental Resource Permit Application Handbook, Volume 1, 10.2.3., and based on reasonable
assurance provided by the Applicant, the Department has determined that the proposed activity is clearly in the
public interest.

IV. Hurricane Ian Impact
The City of Marco Island awarded the project to Ahtna Marine & Construction Company in September
2022 for a total of $3.3 million prior to Hurricane Ian. Hurricane Ian impacted Collier County and the
project area on September 28, 2022, resulting in additional onshore migration and overwash of the sand
spit protecting the lagoon. Preconstruction surveys in October 2022 documented conditions post
Hurricane Ian and were used to produce updated construction plans. Hurricane Ian caused a reduction in
available sediment and an increase in required sediment to construct the beach berm. Sediment from an
existing offshore borrow area authorized within the project permit as a contingency sand source will need
to be utilized to supplement the project construction and achieve the designed beach berm.
V. Project Construction Costs and County Funding Request
The City of Marco Island awarded the project to the contractor Ahtna Marine & Construction Company in
September 2022 for a total of $3.3 million. Ahtna Marine & Construction Company prepared a proposal
to the city for change order consideration to obtain the additional 85,000 cubic yards (CY) from the
offshore borrow area which is authorized by the project permit. The availability of the contractor on site
and the need for the additional volume of sand presents an opportunity to construct the protective beach
berm to its design template in a cost-effective manner including addressing impacts of Hurricane Ian. The
contractor's proposal is included with the draft Change Order from the City of Marco Island enclosed as
Attachment C.
Available funds including project contingencies could only cover the mobilization to the offshore borrow
area and dredging a base amount of 25,000 cubic yards for placement on Sand Dollar Island. The City of
Marco Island is requesting $650,400 to obtain the remaining 60,000 cubic yards of sand from the
permitted offshore borrow area at a cost of $10.84/CY and placement on Sand Dollar Island. The unit cost
of $10.84 /CY as proposed by the contractor is lower than the cost of past hydraulic dredging in Collier
County or the region for similar type work. This sand will be used to complete constructing the protective
berm on Sand Dollar Island as designed and address the impact of Hurricane Ian. The constructed berm
will provide storm protection for the newly reopened flow channel connecting the southern lagoon at the
County Park with the northern lagoon/gulf entrance, the associated Critical Wildlife Area, and the upland
development.
Constructing the Sand Dollar Island protective berm with significantly less volume than the design volume
puts the system at higher risk for storm impacts and need for future maintenance sooner than planned.
In addition, the cost of a near future maintenance project would be expected to be much higher than the
cost proposed at this time with a contractor already on site.
VI. Monitoring and Mitigation
The City of Marco Island and Hideaway Beach Tax District are the project owner and plan to conduct
monitoring required for the project. The project design did not require any mitigation. This request does
not include funds for monitoring or mitigation.

Tigertail Lagoon/ Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Marco Island
VIII. Summary
The Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration project is a City of Marco Island project
designed to restore and protect a valuable ecosystem, recreational assets, and tourist attractions. The
project incorporates improvements to aquatic and upland habitat while preserving and enhancing the
resiliency of the natural system. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection in their permit
review process determined that the project is in the public interest providing environmental, social and
economic benefits and added storm protection. The project directly benefits Collier County Tigertail Beach
Park in 4 main areas
1- Direct access to the gulf shoreline. Tigertail Beach Park represents one of the main public
beach access points in Collier County and Marco Island in particular. At present the direct gulf
shoreline at the north part of the Park has severely retreated in past few years with significant
impacts post Hurricane Ian. Present conditions post Ian left no dry beach between the gulf
and dune vegetation. This part of the Park gulf shoreline will be restored providing dry
recreational beach and continuous access to the pristine shoreline of Sand Dollar Island which
represents one of the main tourist attractions to this Park.
2- Water recreational activities. By restoring the 2-mile-long tidal lagoon, over water activities
along the lagoon including kayaking, paddleboarding and other water recreational activities
can resume.
3- Bird watching. One of the main attractions at the Park is bird watching. Restoring the
ecosystem will maintain that function and prevent degradation of this attraction into the
future.
4- Water quality and public safety. Restoring the tidal flushing of the lagoon at the park will help
improve water quality and reduce public safety hazards.
The Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project design, permitting and
construction window immediately post Hurricane Ian provided a timely opportunity to restore a system
that otherwise was in rapid collapse. The additional funds requested from Collier County will provide
direct public benefits that clearly encourage tourism within Collier County.

Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island
Ecosystem Restoration Project Timeline
• The project started with a feasibility study initiated by the City of Marco Island's Hideaway Beach
Tax District in 2017 and completed in 2018. This study documented the impacts of Hurricane Irma
and provided recommendations to engage all stakeholders to discuss system degradation and
evaluate restoration alternatives. At the time, the Tax District thought that such a regional project
to address the entire system was beyond its capabilities to permit, fund, and execute alone. They
were also told by County staff that successful permitting would be very unlikely as the work was
in the Big Marco Pass Critical Wildlife Area.
• As a result, in 2019 Friends of Tigertail initiated and organized follow up discussions and public
meetings with stakeholders and they included City of Marco Island, Collier County, FWC, and
Audubon.
• In July 2020 Friends of Tigertail made a presentation to inform the CAC on the deteriorating
conditions and need for a restoration project.
• In the Fall of 2020 as the system continued to deteriorate, Hideaway Beach re-engaged HM to
develop a restoration plan and coordinate with stakeholders and agencies including the city,
county, DEP, FWC, USACE, NOAA NMFS, FWS, Rockery Bay, and Audubon.
• In January of 2021 Marco Island City Council unanimously supported pursuing permits to restore
the system of Sand Dollar Island and Tigertail Lagoon.
• Pre application meetings and coordination with all stakeholders, including Collier County,
including Parks and Recreation, Coastal Zone Management, and administration in January 2021
• Permit applications on behalf of the City of Marco Island were submitted in April of 2021.
• Commissioner LoCastro organized two Action Committee meetings of all stakeholders in mid-
2021 and early 2022 to get feedback on what should be done to address the conditions in the
lagoon.
• Permits by FDEP, USACE and FWC were issued between February 2022 and July 2022.
• Marco Island City Council unanimously supported project construction and awarded the project
to the selected contractor in September 2022. Project funding was provided by the City of Marco
Island's Hideaway Beach Tax District.
• In late September 2022 Hurricane Ian impacted the region and the project area.
• Project construction started in November 2022 and Commissioner LoCastro organized another
County and stakeholder meeting to review the project timeline.
• Post Ian physical surveys were completed and, in December 2022, the City requested County
funding support to supplement project construction because of Hurricane Ian impacts and
additional sand volume needed to build the protective berm to design standards and to source
that sand from off -shore.

I. PROPOSED ACTIVITY
A. Project Description
The proposed project is to establish a flow channel within the overwashed and shoaled
areas of the Tigertail Lagoon and to restore the gulf -fronting shoreline of Sand Dollar Island
using sediment hydraulically dredged from the flow channel and a sand trap at the north end of
the island.. Additional sediment for berm placement may be sourced from the Hideaway Beach
Nearshore and Offshore Borrow Areas.
The proposed flow channel will have maximum allowable depth of -8.5 feet NAVD (in
the north) and -5.5 feet NAVD (in the middle) and will not directly impact submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV). The proposed Sand Trap will have a maximum allowable depth of -9.0 feet
NAVD. The proposed design berm will be approximately 150 feet wide with a 1H:15V
(horizontal:vertical) sloped beach face and a submerged berm near Mean Lower Low Water
(MLLW).
The southern portion of the proposed flow channel, also called the distribution channel, is
not authorized and will require a permit modification because its final dimension or
configuration will be dependent upon conditions at the time of construction.
The activity includes consideration of an application for a 15-year sovereign submerged
lands easement (No. 42667) containing 26.13 acres, more or less, for the proposed sand trap.
The activity will also require an Incidental Take Authorization from Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission for its potential impact to state listed bird species.

responsibility to review and take final action on this request for proprietary authorization.
III. BACKGROUND/BASIS FOR ISSUANCE
A. Background Information
Sand Dollar Island is a narrow low lying semi -enclosed peninsular, which was formed as
result of the long term migration of the Big Marco Pass ebb shoal east towards the mainland and
eventually attaching to Marco Island at its southern end. The Tigertail Lagoon /Sand Dollar
Island system (TLSDI) consists of a tidal lagoon that was formed behind the peninsular at the
south end (Tigertail Lagoon) with the mouth of the system at Hideaway Beach and Big Marco
Pass at the north end. The lagoon is connected to the Gulf of Mexico by a narrow flow channel
that runs between Marco Island and Sand Dollar Island.
Over time the spit has been reshaped by storm events and general wave hydrodynamics
resulting in frequent overwash of the central segment, landward migration of the mouth and
shoaling of Tigertail Lagoon. These events have led to the systematic reduction of the width of
the mid -section of the lagoon, causing severe restrictions to tidal flow, which is causing loss of
lagoon habitat.
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 4 of 20
To prevent the attachment of Sand Dollar Island to the mainland, which could result in a
stagnant lagoon system, the entrance to the TLSDI system at Big Marco Pass, is periodically
dredged under Permit No. 0309260-010-JM (the Hideaway Beach Nearshore Borrow Area).
This proposed project will further enhance the flushing of the lagoon by establishing the flow
channel; minimizing overwash and shoaling by restoring and maintaining the berm at a pre -Irma
configuration; and further minimize the rate of landward migration of the spit by creating and
maintaining the sand trap. Thus, restoring and enhancing aquatic and upland habitats within the
coastal ecosystem of TLSDI that have deteriorated overtime.
B. Habitats
Hardbottom/Coral Reef
Surveys conducted in 2018 and 2020 for the Hideaway Beach Nourishment and Groins
project (File No. 0309260-010-JM) documented small sponges and octocorals growing on shell
hash substrate adjacent to the proposed sand trap (i.e., adjacent to the nearshore borrow area
between H-6 and H-7, and near H-12,). The project is not expected to directly impact hardbottom
resources and secondary impacts are not predicted to occur.
Submerged Aquatic Vegetation
Surveys in 2017, 2018, and 2020, showed that submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in
the project area consists mostly of Halodule wrightii, with some Halophila decipiens. Several
genera of macroalgae (e.g., Caulerpa spp. and Penicillus spp.) were observed as well. SAV in
the northern portion of the project has been monitored previously for the Hideaway Beach
Nourishment and Groins project (File No. 0309260-010-JM). Recent SAV surveys conducted in
2020 and 2021 included the SAV habitat along the interior of Sand Dollar Island from the mouth
of the system at Hideaway Beach (H-12) to the southern end of Tigertail Lagoon (R-135). In
2020, the SAV bed between H-4 and H-7 was predominately composed of H. wrightii and H.
decipiens. Historically, SAV has been documented in the proposed flow channel dredge area
between H-1 and H-4; however, surveys conducted in 2020 and 2021 did not find any benthic
resources within this portion of the dredge template.
In 2021, sparse coverage (0-15%) of SAV was present east of the proposed flow channel
dredge template between R-128 and R-130. Between R-129.5 and R-131.5, the areal extent of
SAV has been receding over recent years as the Sand Dollar Island migrates landward. Moderate
to dense coverage (25-100%) of SAV was observed between R-131 and R-133. In southern
Tigertail Lagoon, SAV beds were present in 2018, 2020, and 2021 surveys along the shallow
perimeter of the lagoon; in 2021, these beds ranged in coverage from sparse (0-24%) to dense
(50-85%).

Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 5 of 20
Realigning the barrier island to 2017 conditions and further opening the waterway behind
the Sand Dollar Island is proposed to increase flushing and prevent Tigertail Lagoon from being
closed off from the surface waters of the Gulf via the northern lagoon. Dredging of the flow
channel restoration area will be limited to the over -washed area to avoid SAV resources.
Furthermore, the narrow distribution channel proposed from R-131.5 to R-133 would be hand
dug/dredged to ensure SAV resources in this area are avoided to the maximum extent
practicable.
Though the project is not expected to directly impact SAV and secondary impacts are not
predicted to occur, the proximity of SAV habitat to the proposed flow channel dredge template
indicates these resources are within areas potentially under the influence of the project. As such,
the permit will require SAV to be monitored to provide the Department with reasonable
assurance that any unpermitted project -related impacts to resources will be documented if they
occur. Pre -construction monitoring will be required to document current distribution of benthic
resources within the influence of the project, and the dredge contractor will be required to use
resource maps from the pre -construction survey to avoid resources. The biological monitoring
section (Section K) expands on the details of the monitoring that will be required by the permit.
Additionally, a Biological Monitoring Plan has been approved by the Department and will be
attached to the permit. The Plan, which will be a binding part of the permit, specifies monitoring
procedures for SAV. Should unpermitted project -related impacts to SAV resources occur,
mitigation will be required.
Mangrove and Marsh Vegetation
Mangroves and marsh vegetation are present along the fringe of the lagoon shoreline. In
the northern portion of project, salt marsh habitat is present on the landward side of Sand Dollar
Island. Mangroves line much of the eastern portion of the waterway from R-128 to R-131.5.
Current trends of beach migration shoreward suggest that without intervention the beach may
fuse to the inland shoreline in this area. The proposed project will widen the waterway adjacent
to mangroves, thereby maintaining hydrological connection to this habitat. South of R-131.5,
mangroves are present on both sides of the waterway. Mature mangroves line a large portion of
the Tigertail Lagoon. The mangrove community includes red (Rhizophora mangle), white
(Laguncularia racemose), and black (Avicennia germinans) mangroves. Monitoring will be
required to ensure the proposed project does not impact mangrove or marsh habitats.
Beach
The beach, swash zone and surf zone of the project area is comprised of soft sandy
bottom. The sandy substrate in the subtidal, intertidal and supratidal portions of the beach is an
important habitat for invertebrates living on (epibenthos) or within (infauna) the sediment. This
invertebrate community can include crabs, polycheates, gastropods, and bivalves. The infaunal
organisms are important food items for shorebirds and fish.
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 6 of 20
The infauna inhabiting the beach placement area will be buried by the project. This burial
will temporarily eliminate the infaunal population within the placement area, but recolonization
from adjacent beaches is expected to begin immediately. Studies have shown that beach, swash
zone and surf zone populations of infauna will rebound to pre -nourishment levels within a year
of construction if the fill material is similar to the existing beach sand.
Sand Dunes
Dune vegetation in the proposed beach restoration area has sparse coverage which is
suitable for nesting shorebirds. To maintain the low cover of vegetation, monitoring will be
required to estimate percent cover of dune vegetation for adaptative management purposes. If the
percent cover exceeds 10% total cover or if sandbur (Cenchrus spp.).) recruitment is noted, then
the regulatory agencies will be notified immediately for adaptive management.
C. Protected Fish & Wildlife
Pursuant to the Environmental Resource Permit Applicant's Handbook, Volume I,
10.2.7(b), in evaluating whether the proposed activity will adversely impact the ecological value
of uplands to aquatic or wetland dependent listed species that nest in upland, such as marine
turtle and shorebirds, and to maintain consistency with the authority of the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) under Florida's Coastal Zone Management Program,
the Department considered comments received from the FWC and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS). Pursuant to the Environmental Resource Permit Applicant's Handbook, Volume
I, 10.3.1.5, mitigation can include the implementation of management plans, or other measures,
such as the Terms and Conditions and the Reasonable and Prudent Measures from the FWS
Biological Opinion, as well as the recommended conditions from the FWC. These requirements
will be incorporated into the permit.
Turtles
The beaches in Collier County provide potential nesting habitat for threatened loggerhead
(Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia mydas) marine turtles. Placement of sand on a marine
turtle nesting beach can impact nesting females, their nests, and hatchlings due to modifications
of the profile and incubation substrate relative to the native beach. Nesting females may respond
to these changes by an increase in non -nesting emergences (false crawls), a decrease in the
number of nests deposited, or a shift in nest site selection across the profile. Altering the
incubation substrate can also affect the female's decision to nest, as well as the hatch and
emergence success for the nest
In accordance with 161.041(5), F.S., no construction that could result in take of
threatened and endangered marine turtles and shorebirds shall begin until the required federal
incidental take authorizations are issued in accordance with the federal Endangered Species Act.
In the event that additional or different requirements from the permit conditions are specified in
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 7 of 20
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Incidental Take Authorization and Biological Opinion,
additional marine turtle protection conditions shall be incorporated into the permit through a
modification Additionally, no relocation of marine turtle nests shall occur unless specifically
authorized by the FWC in a permit issued pursuant to Florida Statute 379.2431(1) and Rule 68E-
1, F.A.C. Therefore, in accordance with Florida Statute 379.2431 (1), FWC has included marine
turtle protection conditions in the draft permit.
Birds
The project is located within the Big Marco Pass Critical Wildlife Area (CWA). First
established in 1988, this CWA provides protection for nesting and foraging seabirds, shorebirds,
and wading birds. The CWA consists of the emergent island, mudflats, and lagoon along the
northwestern edge of Marco Island. This CWA has historically supported large colonies of
nesting black skimmers and least terns, along with solitary nesting pairs of Wilson's plovers and
killdeer. Nesting occurs along the northern half of the CWA, comprised of a mosaic of open
sandy beach and sparse dune vegetation. Resident and migratory seabirds, shorebirds, and
wading birds rely on the area for roosting and foraging along the shoreline and flats of the
lagoon. Portions of the CWA are posted closed each year under state rule (68A-19.005 F.A.C.) to
prevent disturbance to nesting and foraging birds. Entry into any CWA posted areas would
require additional authorizations from the FWC.
Portions of the proposed project site are located within an area that supports beach -
nesting birds, including black skimmers and least terns which are both state listed as Threatened.
The excavation of 130,000 cubic yards of sediment for construction of the sand trap at the north
point of Sand Dollar Island is likely to result in take via significant habitat modification for these
species. Construction in proximity to breeding sites can also cause take by interfering with
nesting success, including mortality of eggs, chicks, and fledglings due to disturbance from
heavy equipment and construction. The project area is also within the FWC-designated Reddish
Egret Core Foraging Area. Loss or degradation of suitable foraging habitat within Core Foraging
Areas can result in take via significant habitat modification because suitable foraging habitat is
limited for this species. The proposed flow channel on the back side of Sand Dollar Island has
the potential to result in take via significant habitat modification for this species. The FWC has
determined that the proposed project will result in Take of State -Listed Threatened species as
defined by Chapter 68A-27.001, F.A.C, and that an FWC Incidental Take Permit (ITP), as
defined by Chapter 68A-27.007, F.A.C., will be required.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission has additional authority under Chapter 379,
F.S. to protect upland habitat used by shorebirds.
Manatees
Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) inhabits the waters of Collier County
year round. Use of this area is documented by aerial, telemetry, and mortality data. Manatee
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 8 of 20
aerial survey data indicate that manatee distribution in this county is widespread, and they
exhibit an array of activities in the county including traveling, resting, feeding, and cavorting
(mating).
Tigertail Lagoon /Sand Dollar Island system is located in an area designated as Important
Manatee Area (IMAs) per the Effect Determination Key for the Manatee in Florida. As a
protective measure, the draft permit will require that the FWC Standard Manatee Conditions for
In -Water Work be followed during construction in all project areas. Additionally, since the
proposed project falls within an IMA, the draft permit will require dedicated protected species
observers and limit nighttime clamshell dredging.
D. Other Criteria
Public Health, Safety or Welfare
The proposed restoration project will help to improve water flow within the lagoon,
reduce the potential for overwashing and subsequent shoaling within the lagoon, which may
reduce the potential for adverse impacts to public health, safety or welfare to occur, should the
lagoon become stagnant.
Property of Others
The proposed project is expected to maintain the functionality of the existing mangrove
shoreline and related habitats adjacent to the overwashed areas; thus naturally reducing the
potential future vulnerability of upland property. The proposed project is not expected to
adversely affect the property of others.,
Additionally, it is not expected to unreasonably infringe upon the traditional, common
law riparian rights, of upland property owners adjacent to sovereignty submerged lands.
Navigation
The project is expected to remediate harmful shoaling within the lagoon. Other than any
possible restrictions to navigational access on a temporary basis during dredging, the proposed
project is not expected to adversely affect navigation.
Recreation
The restoration and maintenance of the TLSDI will allow continued use by the public for
observation of wildlife, picnicking, sunbathing, swimming, surfing, recreational fishing, and
related activities.
Historical and Archaeological Resources

Page 9 of 20
In their letter dated April 21, 2021 (DHR Project File No. 2021-2317), the Florida
Division of Historical Resources (DHR) presented the findings of their Due Diligence review for
the proposed project. They determined that the proposed activities are unlikely to affect historic
properties. Nevertheless, General Condition 10, included in the draft permit, establishes a
protocol in the case of unexpected fortuitous find.
E. Water Quality
The proposed project includes the dredging of the flow channel and the sand trap, with
placement of sediment on the gulf -fronting Sand Dollar Island. Additionally, sediment may be
dredged from the previously authorized Hideaway Nearshore and Offshore Borrow Areas.
The proposed flow channel dredge area lies within Class III waters of the Tigertail
Lagoon. Mangroves and SAV are located in the vicinity of the proposed flow channel dredge
area. All dredging will avoid direct impacts to mangroves and SAV in the area. Additionally,
because of the presence of SAV resources adjacent to the dredge/excavation area, the mixing
zone within this dredge area will be truncated at the edge of the adjacent resources. Therefore,
during dredging of the flow channel, turbidity will be monitored at the edge of the 150-meter
mixing zone or nearest downdrift SAV edge to ensure compliance with the State Water quality
standard (29 NTUs above background).
The majority of the proposed sand trap is located within an accretional area of the
Rookery Bay Aquatic Preserve and is subject to the antidegradation requirements of Rule 62-
4.242, F.A.C. This Rule 62-4.242(2)(b)2., F.A.C., allows for some deviations from background
to account for natural fluctuations in turbidity levels at the site. By measuring the natural
background variability of turbidity over one tidal cycle, adjacent projects have demonstrated that
background turbidity levels naturally fluctuate by at least 3 Nephelometric Turbidity Units
(NTUs) in the vicinity of the proposed project in the Rookery Bay Aquatic Preserve. Therefore,
during dredging of the sand trap, turbidity will be monitored at the edge of the 150-meter mixing
zone to ensure compliance with the antidegradation threshold (3 NTUs above background).
The proposed Sand Dollar Island Restoration Area lies along Class III waters of the Gulf
of Mexico. The proposed sediment disposal work will be accomplished in a manner that
minimizes the potential for elevated turbidity. Pursuant to Rule 62-4.244(5)(d), F.A.C., best
management practices will be implemented to minimize the magnitude and duration of turbidity
to the maximum extent practicable. Therefore, during sediment disposal, turbidity will be
monitored at the edge of the mixing zone polygon (150 meters offshore by 1000 meters down
current) to ensure compliance with the State Water quality standard (29 NTUs above
background).
Pursuant to Rule 62-4.242 (2)(a)2.b. F.A.C., the Applicant has requested an extension of
the thirty -day time period in which elevated turbidity levels may occur within a mixing zone that
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC

Page 10 of 20
is located in an OFW. Since the Applicant has demonstrated that the work cannot be completed
in 30 days, and that no adverse impacts are expected to occur as a result of the requested time
extension, the Department intends to grant the extension
The proposed project may result in improved water quality within the Tigertail Lagoon
system. Water quality monitoring of additional parameters (other than turbidity) will be required
to document changes to water quality within the influence of the project. The protocols for the
additional water quality assessment will include data collected at quarterly discrete sampling
stations and also by continuous sampling using a datasonde.
The draft permit will outline the water quality monitoring protocol required to provide
reasonable assurance that project activities do not violate the State's water quality standard, the
antidegradation allowance nor adversely impact the adjacent SAV or mangrove communities.
F. Sand Quality
Pursuant to Rule 6213-41.007(2)(j), F.A.C., to protect the environmental functions of
Florida's beaches only beach compatible fill shall be placed on the beach or in any associated
dune system. Beach compatible fill is material that maintains the general character and
functionality of the material occurring on the beach and in the adjacent dune and coastal system.
A sediment quality assurance /quality control (QA/QC) plan that provides reasonable
assurance that the sediment from the borrow areas will meet the standard in Rule 6213-
41.007(2)0), F.A.C., was submitted with the application The sediment compliance values are
included in the Sediment QA/QC Plan (dated September 21, 2021), which will be incorporated
into the final permit by reference. The Department requires compliance with this plan.
G. Coastal Engineering
Pursuant to Rule 62B-41.005(3), F.A.C., the Department has received adequate
engineering data concerning the existing coastal system and the design features that is sufficient
for an evaluation of the proposed activities. The department received the Engineering
Management Plan, prepared by Humiston & Moore Engineers, dated April 5, 2021. Pursuant to
Rule 62B-41.007(2), F.A.C., the proposed project is designed in accordance with generally
accepted coastal engineering standards and practice.
In accordance with the definition provided in Rule 62B-36.002(4), F.A.C, or the
provisions of sub -section 161.101(3), F.S., the project area is not designated as critically eroded
beach. The activity as proposed is not beach restoration defined as the placement of sand on an
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 11 of 20
eroded beach for the purposes of restoring it as a recreational beach and providing storm
protection for upland properties, pursuant to subsection 161.021(4), F.S.
The proposed addition of the gulf -front segment of Sand Dollar Island as a placement site
for the dredged material from the inlet -fronting segment of Sand Dollar Island is not expected to
have an adverse impact to the Big Marco — Capri Pass Complex, and is consistent with Section
161.142(1), F.S.
The project monitoring data has not indicated adverse effects from dredging the permitted
nearshore borrow area. The proposed northeastward extension of the borrow area will be
leeward of the ebb shoals of the Big Marco and Capri Pass Complex where it will be aligned
with the tidal currents and further sheltered from ocean waves. Consequently, the borrow area
extension is not expected to result in adverse effects to inlet tidal hydraulics or increase erosion
of Hideaway Beach.
The project monitoring demonstrates migration and accretion of beach -compatible sand
into the proposed borrow area extension; hence, detailed information concerning the material to
be excavated and analysis of the compatibility of the material with the respective placement sites
is not required from the applicant. Furthermore, a sediment quality assurance/quality control
plan is not required as a specific condition for approval of the permit.
Pursuant to Rule 62B-41.005(2), F.A.C., coastal construction authorized by the
Department shall have a net positive benefit to the coastal system resulting from the project's
effects, as demonstrated by the Applicant, taking into account the considerations and
requirements of Section 161.041, F.S. The removal of sand from the borrow area will likely
reduce sediment transport toward the Collier Creek entrance, and thereby, minimize shoaling and
maintenance of the navigation channel. The transfer of sand from the borrow area to the gulf -
front segment of Sand Dollar will supply sand to the Marco Island as waves and tides transport
the sand to the downdrift beaches.
H. Impact Minimization
The Applicant has provided reasonable assurance that measures will be taken to minimize
any potential adverse impacts to the maximum extent practicable. During the permit application
process, the proposed sand trap acreage was reduced to reduce the potential impact on shorebird
nesting habitat. Additionally, the project design and the size of the mixing zone were adjusted to
avoid impacts to SAV. During sediment disposal, the Applicant will employ best management
practices (BMPs) to minimize turbidity and will monitor in accordance with FWC
recommendations and the sediment QA/QC plan to minimize potential impacts to marine turtles
and shorebirds. A turbidity allowance of 3 NTUs above a corresponding background sample will
be used for work within the OFW pursuant to the antidegradation rule. The dredge/excavation
sediment has a similar grain size as the existing beach and is expected to maintain the general
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 12 of 20
environmental character and functionality of the material on the native beach. This will be
conducive for marine turtle nesting and promote rapid recovery of the infauna community.
No impacts to SAV, hardbottom, or mangroves / marsh will be authorized by the permit;
therefore, avoidance and minimization measures will be required to be implemented during
construction to minimize potential unauthorized impacts to natural resources. These measures
include restricting the mixing zone to the edge of the nearest SAV bed, prohibiting anchoring or
storage of equipment within SAV beds, establishing a no -work zone (10-meter buffer) around
SAV resources, and requiring all work near (within 30-meters of) resources to be reported. SAV
monitoring will also be required to document any unauthorized proj ect-related impacts, if they
occur. Pre -construction mapping and monitoring will be required to provide the contractor with
maps of benthic resources, and the Applicant will be required to instruct their contractor to use
these maps to avoid resources. Additionally, a portion of the proposed dredged channel (i.e., the
distribution channel) will be hand dug to reduce the potential for impacts to adjacent SAV
resources. The narrow distribution channel will not be excavated until the Permittee has provided
updated drawings and current SAV survey information to the Department for approval through a
permit modification.
I. Sovereign Submerged Lands
A letter of consent will be required for the dredging of the flow channel and the
distribution channel as well as the disposal of sediment on sovereign submerged lands. A public
easement will be required for the creation and subsequent dredging of the sand trap. An erosion
control line will not be established at the sediment disposal site on the gulf -front segment of
Sand Dollar Island area because the area is not contiguous with upland property, the uplands
areas of Sand Dollar Island are State owned and the site is not on a critically eroded beach.
Pursuant to Rule 18-21.004(3)(a), F.A.C., the proposed project is not expected to
unreasonably infringe upon the traditional, common law riparian rights, as defined in Section
253.141, F.S., of upland property owners adjacent to sovereignty submerged lands; because the
activity will not impede access to, or view of the water. Additionally, pursuant to Rule 18-
21.003(53), F.A.C., the proposed project would be in the public interest because the activity
provides demonstrable environmental, social, and economic benefits, by maintaining a navigable
waterway, and providing more storm protection, without causing any significant environmental
harm.
Pursuant to Rule 18-21.004(3)(b), F.A.C., satisfactory evidence of sufficient upland
interest is not required for activities on sovereignty submerged lands that are not riparian to
uplands, or when a governmental entity conducts restoration and enhancement activities,
provided that such activities do not unreasonably infringe on riparian rights. In this case, the sand
placement site on the gulf -front segment of Sand Dollar Island area is not contiguous with
upland property and the uplands areas of Sand Dollar Island are State owned, so sufficient
upland interest is not required
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 13 of 20
The proposed project is expected to maintain this environmental and recreational
resource so that the public may continue to enjoy traditional uses of the TLSDI system, including
but not limited to, boating, fishing and swimming. Removing the overwashed sand from the
lagoon will restore natural habitat and return the biological and recreational value of the area.
The disposal of sediment on the berm will also restore and maintain nesting habitat for marine
turtles and shorebirds. The proposed project is not expected to impact SAV resources or generate
a significant amount of turbidity, so it will not interfere with the propagation of fish and wildlife.
Additionally, the Florida Department of State's Division of Historical Resources evaluated this
project and determined that no cultural resources will be affected by this project. After
considering all the factors listed above, the Department has determined that the project is
expected to meet the Sovereign Submerged Lands criteria in Rule 18-21.004(2), F.A.C.
J. Mitigation
The draft permit does not authorize direct or secondary impacts to benthic resources.
Mitigation will only be required if adverse, unauthorized, project -related impacts occur.
The proposed project may result in improved water quality and subsequent expansion of
SAV in Tigertail Lagoon. Water quality monitoring will be required to document changes to
water quality. If improvements in water quality and/or SAV expansion are demonstrated, the
Department may evaluate these improvements for lift (pursuant to Rule 62-345, Uniform
Mitigation Assessment Method) as potential compensatory mitigation if needed.
The FWC has determined that the proposed project will result in Take of State -Listed
Threatened species as defined by Chapter 68A-27.001, F.A.C, and that an FWC Incidental Take
Permit (ITP), as defined by Chapter 68A-27.007, F.A.C., will be required. The ITP will include
mitigation measure to offset take incurred by the proposed project.
K. Monitoring
Biological monitoring will be required to document any potential unauthorized impacts to
natural resources. The Applicant will be required to provide the construction contractor with an
accurate map of benthic resources in the project area prior to commencement of construction so
that impacts can be minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Monitoring will include the in -
situ delineation of the edge of benthic resources, as well as qualitative and quantitative
measurements of SAV and mangrove resources pre and post construction. Dune vegetation
monitoring will be conducted to inform adaptive management plans. If the coverage of dune
vegetation exceeds 10% total cover or sandburs are documented, adaptive management will be
employed which may include the removal of dune vegetation.
Water quality monitoring for turbidity will be conducted during construction to ensure
that water quality standards are being met. The turbidity monitoring contractor will be
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 14 of 20
independent of both the design contractor and the construction contractor. Additional water
quality monitoring will be conducted to document potential water quality improvements in
Tigertail Lagoon due to increased flushing that may result from the proposed project.
All biological monitoring will be conducted according to the Department -approved
Biological Monitoring Plan (Approved December 20, 2021), which details the monitoring
parameters, methods, schedules, and reporting requirements for the project. The approved
Biological Monitoring Plan will be a binding part of the permit. See the approved Biological
Monitoring Plan and the draft permit for specific information on monitoring of SAV, mangroves
and marsh, dune vegetation, and water quality (except turbidity), and deliverable submittal
requirements.
Sediment quality at the nourished beach will be monitored in accordance with the
approved sediment QA/QC plan.
Per FWC guidelines, the draft permit will include pre, during, and post construction
monitoring for marine turtles and shorebirds.
No physical monitoring plan is being required on the proposed project. However, as built
bathymetric surveys of the dredge locations will be required post construction to verify
avoidance of SAV impacts.
L. Public Interest
Regulatory
As discussed in the sections above, the Department has considered the effects of this
project according to the public interest criteria that are specified in Section 373.414(1), F.S., and
the Environmental Resource Permit Applicant's Handbook, Volume I, 10.2.3. The following is
brief summary of that evaluation for each of the public interest criteria:
• The activity will have a positive effect on public safety and public welfare, and is not
expected adversely affect the property of others;
• The activity is not anticipated to adversely affect the conservation of fish and wildlife,
including endangered or threatened species, or their habitats;
• The activity is intended to offset harmful shoaling and erosion;
• The activity is not anticipated to adversely affect the fishing or recreational values or
marine productivity in the vicinity of the activity;
• The proposed construction activity will be of a temporary nature;
• The activity will not adversely affect significant historical and archaeological resources
under the provisions of s. 267.061; and
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 15 of 20
• The current condition and relative value of functions being performed by areas affected
by the proposed activity in whole will generally be improved by the project.
After weighing the effects of the project for each of these criteria, and based on
reasonable assurance provide by the Applicant, the Department has determined that the proposed
activity is clearly in the public interest.
Proprietary
The proposed project will reduce the potential for overwash, relieve the shoaling within
the lagoon, thereby improving flushing within the lagoon maintaining the aquatic and upland
habitats within the TLSDI system. Therefore, pursuant to Section 161.088, F.S., the proprietary
authorization for this project is in the public interest. The project will not adversely affect fish
and wildlife habitat or other natural or cultural resources and will not interfere with traditional
recreational uses such as fishing, boating, and swimming. Pursuant to Rule 18-21.003(54),
F.A.C., the demonstrable environmental, social, and economic benefits which would accrue to
the public at large as a result of this activity would exceed all demonstrable environmental,
social, and economic costs of the proposed action. Therefore, pursuant to Rule 18-21.004(1)(a),
F.A.C., the Department has determined that this project is in the public interest.
M. Specific Regulatory Basis for Issuance
The Applicant has provided affirmative reasonable assurance that the construction of the
activity will comply with the provisions of Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and the rules adopted
thereunder. The Department has considered the direct, secondary and cumulative impacts of the
project, as well as the general and specific conditions to the attached draft permit, in making this
determination. Specifically, construction of the activity will not result in violations of water
quality standards, nor will the construction activities degrade ambient water quality in
Outstanding Florida Waters pursuant to Rule 62-4.242, F.A.C., other than turbidity within the
approved mixing zone, pursuant to Section 373.414(1), F.S., and set forth in Chapters 62-4 and
62- 302, F.A.C.. The Applicant also has demonstrated that the construction of the activity is
clearly in the public interest, pursuant to Paragraph 373.414(1), F.S.
Also, pursuant to Rule 62-4.242 (2)(a)2.b., F.A.C., the Applicant requested an extension
of the thirty -day time period for water quality degradation in an OFW. Although the rule limits
water quality degradation within an OFW to a period of thirty days, it also offers the Department
some discretion. The Department may allow an extension of time, in which construction -caused
degradation may occur within a defined mixing zone, if the Applicant can demonstrate that the
extension is unavoidable, and that suitable management practices and technology will be
employed to minimize any degradation. Given the nature and scale of this beach restoration
project, it would be impossible to complete the work within thirty days. Also, the Applicant
proposes to use best management practices for controlling turbidity at the dredge site. Therefore,
Consolidated Notice of Intent to Issue
File No. 0401778-001-JC
Tigertail Lagoon / Sand Dollar Island Ecosystem Restoration Project
Page 16 of 20
pursuant to Rule 62-4.242(2)(a)2.b. F.A.C., the Department intends to allow for a temporary
elevation of turbidity, within the mixing zone, for a period not to exceed 120 days.
The Applicant has also provided adequate engineering data to evaluate the design
features of the project and any potential effects to the coastal system. Pursuant to Chapter 161,
F.S., the Department finds that the proposed activities:
• will not result in any significant adverse impacts to the sandy beaches of the state;
• are not expected to adversely impact nesting marine turtles, their hatchlings or their
habitat;
• will not interfere, except during construction, with the use by the public of any area
of the beach seaward of mean high water; and
• are appropriately designed in accordance with Rule 6213-41, F.A.C.
N. Specific Proprietary Basis for Issuance
The Applicant has met all applicable requirements for proprietary authorizations to use
sovereign submerged lands. That includes the requirements of Article X, Section 11 of the
Florida Constitution, Chapters 253 and 258, F.S., associated Rules 18-21 and 18-20, F.A.C., and
the policies of the Board of Trustees. Therefore, the Applicant has provided reasonable
assurance that the proposed activity would:
• be in the public interest;
• maintain essentially natural conditions;
• not cause adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources or public recreation or
navigation; and
• not interfere with the riparian rights of adjacent property owners.
IV. PUBLICATION OF NOTICE
The Department has determined that the proposed activity, because of its size, potential effect on
the environment or the public, controversial nature, or location, is likely to have a heightened
public concern or likelihood of request for administrative proceedings. Therefore, pursuant to
