The Clam Bay system consists of three tidally influenced lagoons: Upper, Inner and Outer Clam Bays (Figure 1). Associated with the increased development of Collier County, there has been concern among the public that Clam Bay might have been adversely impacted by environmental pressures that typically accompany population growth. In its historical configuration, Clam Bay would have received fresh water discharges mostly via small tidal creeks and groundwater inflow. Watershed development most likely increased both the amount of freshwater discharged into Clam Bay due to an increase in stormwater runoff, as well as loads of total suspended solids, nitrogen, and phosphorus (PBS &J, 2008). Figure 1. Upper, Inner, and Outer Clam Bay are all part of the Clam Bay system. Upper Clam Bay Inner Clam Bay Outer Clam Bay The Clam Bay system was impacted in the 1950s by the construction of two roads; Vanderbilt Beach Road to the north and Seagate Drive to the south. Historically, Clam Bay was connected to the Gulf of Mexico indirectly via Wiggins Pass to the north and Doctor's Pass to the south, as well as its direct connection via Clam Pass. Outer Clam Bay temporarily lost its historic connection to Moorings Bay (located to the south) in the 1950's when Seagate Drive was constructed. As it was originally configured, Seagate Drive cut off tidal connections to the south, and Clam Pass was left as the only connection to the Gulf of Mexico. In response to water quality concerns, culverts were placed under Seagate Drive in 1976 to allow for tidal exchange between Clam and Moorings Bays. Originally, the culverts were intended to allow flows only from Moorings Fecal coliform technical note-3-09-2012 Plan Design Enable Technical note CAC May 11, 2012 VII -4 Staff Reports 2 of 8 kA Bay into Clam Bay, but their construction was such that flows occurred in both directions (Collier County, 1997). In the 1980s, the tidal connection between Upper Clam Bay and Vanderbilt Lagoon (to the north) was severed due to development activities (Collier County, 1997). Although Clam Bay's watershed had been extensively developed, the shoreline of Clam Bay has remained in an almost entirely natural condition, with mangroves, rather than seawalls, as the dominant feature. Fecal coliform bacteria Microbiological indicators of fecal contamination, such as the fecal coliform group and its member Escherichia coli (E, cols) and Enterococcus spp. (enterococci), found in the gastrointestinal tracts of humans, as well as those of warm - blooded and some coldblooded animals (APHA 1995, Harwood et al. 2000), have been used for over a century to warn of fecal contamination risk in water and food. These organisms, along with enteric pathogens, are shed in feces that can contaminate surface and ground water. Microorganisms from fecal sources that enter waters used by the public can pose a health threat, whether the water is used as a drinking water source, for recreational activities such as fishing or swimming, or for aquatic farming activities such as shellfish harvesting. In addition to public health risks, fecal contamination can result in adverse economic impacts due to the closure of recreational beaches and shellfish- harvesting areas. Fecal contamination results when untreated fecal material from humans, other warm - blooded animals, and some cold - blooded animals enters a waterbody. In many waterbodies, fecal coliform contamination stems from a combination of human, wildlife, and domestic animal sources. When there is no obvious probable source of fecal pollution, a more exhaustive search is required. The background information collected for an impaired waterbody should be supplemented with a thorough field examination. In some cases, the use of more advanced techniques (e.g., targeted sampling of suspected sources, investigation of existing infrastructure) may be appropriate as part of the field examination. Once combined, visual inspections, sampling results, and historical data generally suggest potential source(s) of fecal contamination. Probable sources may include the following: • Wastewater infrastructure; • Wildlife; and /or • Specific land uses (e.g., livestock, aquaculture, marinas, dog parks). FDEP Fecal Coliform Regulations Clam Bay is designated as a Class II, marine waterbody. Class II status indicates that the designated use of the waterbody is for shellfish propagation and harvesting. Clam Bay data provided by Collier County for the period of 2009 to 2011 were compared against the appropriate standard for fecal coliform bacteria. The FDEP IWR contains approved methods for evaluating water quality of lake, stream, and marine waterbodies. Fecal coliform bacteria standards are more stringent for Class II waterbodies compared to Class III (recreational use). The appropriate standard to evaluate fecal coliform bacteria impairment status in Clam Bay, based on the F.A.C. 62- 303.470 is stated as follows: Class 11 waters shall be included on the verified list for coliform impairment if, following review of the available data as described in subsection 62- 303.460(2), F.A.C. (a) The number of samples above 43 counts per 100 mL meet the requirement in subsection 62- 303.420(6), F.A.C., with the exception that paragraph 62- 303.320(4)(a), F.A.C., does not apply and samples collected on different days within any four day period will be assessed as daily samples, or (b) The water segment includes a sampling location that has a median fecal coliform MPN value that exceeds 14 counts per 100 ml for the verified period. To calculate a median value for a sampling location, there shall be at least 20 samples collected during the verified period. Fecal coliform technical note-3-09-2012 Plan Design Enable Technical note Fecal Coliform Data Analysis CAC May 11, 2012 VII -4 Staff Reports 3 of 8 Fecal coliform bacteria data from Clam Bay were compared to two criteria. The first criteria evaluated was to test if sufficient samples exceeded 43 CFU /100 mL based on the sample size (N =132). A minimum of 19 samples are required to not meet the fecal coliform bacteria criteria in order for Clam Bay to be placed on the verified list. Sixty -eight of the 132 data points (52 %) exceeded Class II standard of 43 CFU /100mL. Based on this comparison alone, Clam Bay is impaired for fecal coliform bacteria. The second criteria compared the median fecal coliform value for each station to 14 CFU /100 mL (Table 1). Sufficient data points are not currently available to complete a station by station comparison with the 14 CFU /100mL criteria required for the verified list. However, only ten samples are required by station for inclusion on the planning period list. All nine water quality stations had median fecal coliform bacteria values above 14 CFU /100mL. Table 1. Fecal coliform bacteria summary statistics (2009 -2011) Though values exceed the regulatory standard, it should be considered that fecal coliform bacteria may not be an appropriate indicator of pathogenic diseases in sub - tropical environments such as Florida. The specificity of the fecal coliform test is compromised by the more constant and warmer ambient water temperatures in Southwest Florida. The inability to specifically identify humans as a source of bacteria using traditional indicator testing protocols has been noted by Fujioka (2001) and Fujioka et al. (1999) for various tropical locations. Source identification studies are recommended to determine whether anthropogenic factors cause of the elevated bacteria concentrations prior to developing recommendations for remediation (Bernhard and Field 2000). Source Identification Elevated fecal coliform bacteria concentrations have been attributed to wildlife, livestock, domesticated animals and birds (Levesque et al. 1993, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 2002). In prior TMDLs, birds were estimated to produce 200 to 400 million fecal coliform bacteria per bird per day (humans about 2 billion per day; Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 2002). Using a low end estimate of 200 million fecal coliform bacteria per bird per day, one bird could cause 124,000 gallons of water to exceed 43 CFU / 100 mL. The total volume of Clam Bay is approximately 105 million gallons. Therefore, it is feasible to expect that 850 birds could produce enough bacteria — every day — to cause 105 million gallons of water to exceed 43 CFU /100 mL.

Regardless, it is within the realm of possibilities that birds are an important source of the bacteria in Clam Bay. 1 The Audubon Society completes a one -day Christmas bird count annually nation -wide. In 2010, 7,057 mangrove - utilizing birds were counted in the Naples region (15 mile diameter circle) with an additional 8,188 birds counted which may utilize mangrove habitats during parts of their day or lifespan (Table 2). Based on these results, it is feasible that several dozen to several hundred birds could utilize the Clam Bay mangrove habitats on a daily basis. Table 2.

Fresh bird guano samples were collect from resident wading birds (eg. predominantly white ibis). A collection of the complete guano samples was attempted but was successful in only two of the samples. Five samples were collected in August and two samples were collected in October. The samples were transported to the Collier County water quality lab for analysis. The range in fecal coliform concentrations associated with these single bird defecation "events" was highly variable ( <1 to 290,000 cfu /100mL). The two samples in which the entire defecation event was collected had fecal coliform bacteria values of 150,000 and 290,000 cfu /100 mL. Based on the results of these samples, the wading bird population in Clam Bay is likely a substantial source of bacteria to Clam Bay. In an effort to better identify the potential fecal coliform bacteria sources to Clam Bay, Collier County pursued a microbial source tracking (MST) effort for Clam Bay.

Water samples were collected at three locations (Upper Clam Bay (CB -1), Inner Clam Bay (CB -3) and Outer Clam Bay (CB -5)) on two occasions, August 25, 2011 and October 4, 2011. Samples were transported to Source Molecular for microbial source tracking as well as to the Collier County lab to quantify fecal coliform concentrations. The microbial source tracking results were negative for all three sites for both sampling events indicating that a human source was not detected for those samples. In addition, the results of the fecal coliform analysis indicated that elevated bacteria counts were observed in August ( >43 cfu /100mL) but not in October. Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure The sanitary sewer infrastructure in the Clam Bay watershed is comprised of a mixture of sewer and on -site sewage treatment and disposal systems ( OSTDS). The Seagate Community, located in the southern portion of the watershed, utilize a sewer system for wastewater disposal. In addition, the developments on the west side of US41 adjacent to Clam Bay do not appear to utilize an OSTDS system based on the best available data (provided by the Florida Department of Health (FDOH)) and are likely using a sewer system. While communities directly adjacent to the Clam Bay watershed utilize a sewer system, there are portions of the Clam Bay watershed east of US 41 which are connected to an OSTDS system. Approximately 130 active OSTDS systems are documented by FDOH in the Clam Bay watershed, which represents a minor portion of the households located in the watershed (Figure 2). While active OSTDS have been located within the watershed, a properly functioning OSTDS and associated drainfield is designed to effectively remove fecal coliform bacteria and viruses from wastewater. Prior studies which evaluated the fecal coliform and bacteria presence in soil samples within and below the infiltration zone of properly operating OSTDS have documented substantial reductions in the amount of fecal coliform bacteria and viruses within the OSTDS and their associated drainfield (Lewis and Stark 1993, Anderson et al. undated). Therefore the presence of OSTDS or sewer systems within the Clam Bay watershed would not necessarily indicate that they are a basis for concern regarding fecal coliform bacteria contamination, unless widespread instances of OSTDS failures are occurring. Conclusions Clam Bay has elevated bacteria concentrations; therefore, it is classified as an impaired waterbody for fecal coliform bacteria based on the Class II waterbody standards. The potential sources for fecal coliform bacteria include: wastewater infrastructure, wildlife, specific land uses. While Clam Bay is impaired, based on Class II standards, it should be considered that fecal coliform bacteria may not be an appropriate indicator of pathogenic diseases in sub - tropical environments such as Florida. The specificity of the fecal coliform test is compromised by the more constant and warmer ambient water temperatures in Southwest Florida. Bird populations have been documented as potential sources of fecal coliform bacteria in prior TMDLs (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 2002). Based on the results from the fecal coliform concentrations of bird guano from local birds, the wading bird population in Clam Bay is likely an important source of the bacteria concentrations in Clam Bay. Additionally, microbial source tracking efforts did not provide evidence of a human source, even when fecal coliform counts were high in the Bay. While the lack of a positive human marker does not exclude the possibility of human sources, it provides evidence that non -human sources could be the primary source of the elevated bacteria concentrations. The portion of the watershed directly adjacent to the Clam Bay is connected to a sewer system for wastewater disposal. However, portions of the larger Clam Bay watershed appear to contain active OSTDS systems. Therefore, a human source of the fecal coliform levels in Clam Bay cannot be completely discounted at this time, but based on the research conducted, it is highly improbable that humans are a significant source.

INTRODUCTION Overall GMP Consistency This Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging and Navigation Improvement Project is consistent with the Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP), specifically with the goals and objectives of both the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (COME) and the Future Land Use Element (FLUE). This project is consistent with several of the stated goals of the CCME, including: protection of natural resources; protection of surface and estuarine water resources; protection of native vegetation and wildlife habitat; protection of fisheries and wildlife; and protection of coastal resources. This project will restore eroded shorelines, creating and stabilizing habitats which can be colonized by vegetation and utilized by wildlife such as shorebirds and nesting sea turtles. The straightening of the channel will increase flushing through the estuary, improving water quality. The project is also consistent with the Conservation Designation contained within the FLUE. The overall purpose of the Conservation Designation is to conserve and maintain the natural resources of Collier County and their associated environmental, and recreational and economic benefits. The Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging and Navigation Improvement Project will not destroy or unacceptably degrade the inherent functional values in Wiggins Pass or along the adjacent shorelines. The project is designed to improve and restore the functional value of this area, and to conserve and maintain the natural resources located within and adjacent to Wiggins Pass. Details on how this project is consistent with the CCME and FLUE are provided below in Sections II and III, respectively. These sections have been prepared under guidance provided by Stephen Lenberger and Michele R. Mosca, AICP, of the Collier County Land Development Services Department. Project Description The Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging and Navigation Improvement Project is a non- structural alternative designed with the following goals: 1. To provide a safe channel for boating 2. To address erosion at Barefoot Beach 3. To lengthen the dredge cycle, accomplished with the least impact on the environment 4. To provide a solution that is economically effective CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 2 of 44 Wiggins Pass is currently dredged at regular intervals of approximately 2 years to maintain navigable depths for recreational boaters. The pass provides boat access to the Gulf from inland waterways and lagoons at Vanderbilt Beach, the Cocohatchee River, Wiggins Pass Marina, and several other private and public marinas and ramps. The dredged channel extends from the inlet throat to about 1,200 feet offshore. Periodic dredging has occurred at the intersection of the interior channels. Historic disposal areas are located north of the inlet between R -11.4 to R -14.2 and south of the inlet between R -18 and R -20.5. The inlet has been dredged for navigation since 1984 under two previous permits. The plan will improve current inlet management practices and reduce cumulative maintenance dredging impacts. The current and historic inlet and shoreline conditions were evaluated in order to develop an improved inlet management strategy. A complete coastal study was performed in conjunction with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Joint Coastal Permit (JCP) process. This study included an engineering report and two modeling reports. The 2012 engineering report contains a refined modeling report that was based upon the initial 2009 modeling study. The 2009 report also contains minutes and details from the special sub- committee of the Coastal Advisory Committee (CAC) formed to representative a broad range of interests within Collier County. This committee was appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. This proposed Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging and Navigation Improvement Project design modifies and improves upon the County approved 1995 Wiggins Pass Inlet Management Plan. This project includes channel realignment which will be accomplished by straightening the inlet channel layout and infilling and blocking the northern flood shoal meander (Figure 1). The east, north, and south interior channel entrances will be identified for maintenance dredging, should sand shoal within their respective boundaries. The designated dredge disposal locations and distribution will be modified and relocated based on shoreline monitoring results, with preference given to areas with greatest need. Incorporating the flexibility to modify disposal locations will increase management flexibility, reduce sediment loss to the system, and minimize impacts to Barefoot Beach and Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park shoreline. Nearshore and beach (onshore) disposal areas are located north of the inlet between R -12 to R -15.5 and south of the inlet between R -18 and R -20 (Figure 1). Placement of sand on the Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park shoreline will be determined by the State in an updated Inlet Management Plan. An ebb shoal disposal area has also been designated to assist in restoring the northern ebb shoal and stabilizing the Barefoot Beach shoreline (Figure 1). A separate offshore disposal area has been designated as an acceptable location to place unsuitable fill dredged from the channel. Scarp repair is proposed along southern Barefoot Beach to restore the beach to historic conditions. A dynamic channel design will be incorporated into the maintenance plan for the inlet so that long- term dredging can be reduced. Impacts to natural resources will be avoided or minimized.

CONSERVATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT (COME) GOAL 10: THE COUNTY SHALL PROTECT, CONSERVE, MANAGE, AND APPROPRIATELY USE ITS COASTAL BARRIERS INCLUDING SHORELINES, BEACHES AND DUNES AND WILL PLAN FOR, AND WHERE APPROPRIATE, WILL RESTRICT ACTIVITIES WHERE SUCH ACTIVITIES WILL DAMAGE OR DESTROY COASTAL RESOURCES. OBJECTIVE 10.3: Undeveloped coastal barriers shall be maintained predominantly in their natural state and their natural function shall be protected, maintained and enhanced. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 4 of 44 Project Consistency with CCME Objective 10.3: This project implements a non- structural alternative to protect and maintain Barefoot Beach Preserve and Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park shorelines. One of the main goals of the project is to reduce erosion due to the inlet's migration. By reducing erosion at areas adjacent to the pass, the beaches at Barefoot Beach Preserve can be restored to their natural conditions. Barefoot Beach is currently designated as critically eroded, and the proposed beach fill activities will help restore the shoreline to its natural state. Since 1992, the shoreline north of the inlet at Barefoot Beach has retreated on average approximately 87 feet. The area between R -14 and R -16 has experienced high rates of erosion, with the worst area of erosion occurring at R -16, where it has lost approximately 437 feet of shoreline since 1992. The higher losses that have occurred since 1992 can be attributed to the northern migration of the channel meander and past inlet management practices, which allowed for an approximate even disposal of dredged material to the north and south shorelines. Based on further analysis, it appears that in order to alleviate the erosion to the north, approximately 2.65 times more dredged material needs to be placed on the shorelines to the north than the south. The erosion has impacted the vegetation at Barefoot Beach, which is being lost due to the northward migration of Wiggins Pass, which has moved approximately 100 feet since the 1970's. Overall, the increased erosion on the Gulf beaches north of the inlet has caused approximately 10 acres of vegetation to be lost since 1992, with 3.2 acres of that loss occurring since 2002. The shoreline recession on South Barefoot Beach has caused vegetation loss, primarily mangroves, and it has also created a dangerous scarp along the shoreline that is hazardous to park users. Along with the loss of vegetation, walking paths that were present in 1973 at Barefoot Beach have been eroded away and are no longer present in several areas to the west and south. This affect's the public's accessibility to the County Park and enjoyment of nature along the former loop path. The proposed project will aid in reducing the erosional stresses on the Barefoot Beach shoreline, which will reduce shoreline and vegetation impacts due to the meander. Approximately 0.3 acres of mangroves have been lost in the last 3 -4 decades. The shoreline along Delnor- Wiggins State Park has not encountered the same erosional stress found on Barefoot Beach; however, the proposed project includes the flexibility to address any potential future erosion south of the inlet with nearshore and/or onshore sediment disposal along Delnor- Wiggins State Park shoreline as needed. Straightening the channel will relieve erosion stresses on the mangroves at Barefoot Beach interior shoreline and the northwest point at Delnor- Wiggins State Park. A straightened channel will mimic natural conditions from 60 -80 years ago. The improved bypassing plan and ratio will reduce and mitigate the high erosion at Barefoot Beach. Policy 10.3.2: Any development activities on an undeveloped coastal barrier must be compatible with protection of the natural form and function of the coastal barrier system. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 5 of 44 Project Consistency with Policy 10.3.2: This project includes placement of beach compatible fill on the undeveloped coastal barrier islands, which will aid in restoring, protecting and increasing the natural form and functions of the coastal barrier system. Policy 10.3.4: Public expenditures within Collier County's undeveloped coastal barrier system shall be limited to acquisition for purposes of public safety, education, restoration, and removal of exotic vegetation, recreational use, and/or research facilities. Such uses will be allowed only if the establishment of such use would not substantially alter the natural characteristics and natural functions of the undeveloped coastal barrier system. Project Consistency with Policy 10.3.4: This project aims to increase public safety (commercial and recreational boating safety in the Pass and safety of visitors to Barefoot Beach Preserve), to restore eroding shoreline habitat and to protect the shoreline of Barefoot Beach for recreational use. The existing navigation channel alignment and dredge disposal practices must be modified to improve navigation performance and reduce impacts to adjacent shorelines. Repairing the erosion and scarps along Barefoot Beach shoreline will also increase the safety for visitors who visit the park for recreational purposes. This project will not substantially alter the natural characteristics and natural functions of the undeveloped coastal barrier system. Maintaining a safe navigation channel through Wiggins Pass is a high priority for the County. Not only is a navigable channel of importance to the coastal community for recreational purposes, it also serves to support commercial boating within the area. The existing meander (S- curve) in the channel is detrimental to safe navigation and causes impacts to the adjacent shoreline. Under the current dredging plan, boats with less than 3 foot draft will have trouble navigating the Pass within the next two years, worsened by the fact that the deepest channel depths are difficult to locate. Safety of boaters utilizing the Wiggins Pass basin is a priority for this project. According to the FWC's Annual Boating Accidents Statistical Reports, five accidents have occurred in the Wiggins Pass area from 2007 to 2010, three of which resulted in injury. The proposed channel realignment would result in a straight channel, which is easier to navigate than the current S- curve. The proposed fill activities at Barefoot Beach will aid in restoring a shoreline that has been designated as critically eroded by the State. The fill activities will increase beach width of the southern portion of Barefoot Beach and restore the shoreline to its original state. The Barefoot Beach scarp repair will address public safety concerns which have resulted from the high erosion experienced along the southern shoreline. The added beach from restoration activities at Barefoot Beach Preserve and Delnor- Wiggins State Park will also provide more shoreline for recreational uses for park goers. Policy 10.3.9: Native vegetation on undeveloped coastal barriers should be preserved. To the extent that native vegetation is lost during land development activities and the remaining native vegetation can be supplemented without damaging or degrading its natural function, any native vegetation lost during construction shall be replaced by supplementing with compatible native CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 6 of 44 vegetation on site. All exotic vegetation shall be removed and replaced with native vegetation where appropriate. Project Consistency with Policy 10.3.9: This project does not include the removal of any vegetation, and will actually preserve vegetation by stabilizing and restoring areas of Barefoot Beach shoreline where erosion has resulted in the loss of vegetation. Erosion has impacted the vegetation at Barefoot Beach where the northward migration of the flood channel has moved approximately 100 feet since the 1970's. The mangroves have retreated a total of 52 feet since 1973 and 13 feet since 2002, accounting for a loss of approximately 0.3 acres. On the Gulf, the vegetation has retreated 194 feet at some locations since 1973, and 123 feet in the last 8 years. Overall, the increased erosion north of the inlet on the Gulf beaches has caused approximately 10 acres of vegetation to be lost since 1992, with 3.2 acres of that loss occurring since 2002. The shoreline recession on South Barefoot Beach has caused vegetation, such as mangroves, to be lost and it has also created a dangerous scarp along the shoreline that is hazardous to park users. One of the project's goals is to reduce the erosion at Barefoot Beach Preserve, which is causing the loss of vegetation described above. No vegetation will be removed or damaged during construction. As the beach recovers, the County will plant dune vegetation as part of their ongoing dune vegetation program. Policy 10.3.10: No new bridges, causeways, paved roads or commercial marinas shall be permitted to or on undeveloped barrier systems. Project Consistency with Policy 10.3.10: No new bridges, causeways, paved roads, commercial marinas or coastal structures (groins, jetties or breakwaters) are being proposed with this project. The County's desire is to provide a non - structural alternative for the inlet design in order to improve navigation and reduce erosion. (VI) Policy 10.3.13: Substantial alteration of the natural grade on undeveloped coastal barriers, through filling or excavation shall be prohibited except as part of an approved dune and/or beach restoration program, or as part of an approved public development plan for one or more of the uses allowed by Policy 10.3.4, above. Project Consistency with Policy 10.3.13: No substantial alterations to the natural grade on the coastal barrier are proposed. The objective of the plan is to improve the navigation channel and restore the shoreline to its natural conditions using the dredged material. The proposed project includes modifications designed to improve the existing County approved Inlet Management Plan (1995). The main objectives of the original Inlet Management Plan and the current Strategic Management Plan have not changed, but the methods of achieving them have been modified to incorporate lessons learned from physical monitoring that has been conducted since the early 1990's. The proposed updated Inlet Management Plan has tentative approval from the FDEP Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, along with the Park Service and State Lands. Approval is currently underway from the County. The proposed project is in compliance with Policy 10.3.4. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 7 of 44 (VI) Policy 10.3.15: All new development proposed on undeveloped coastal barrier systems shall be reviewed through the County's existing "Special Treatment" ( "ST ") zoning overlay district. Objective 10.3 and its accompanying policies shall serve as criteria for such review. Project Consistency with Policy 10.3.15: This project proposes restoration of the eroding shoreline located within "Special Treatment" overlays (designated Conservation and Agricultural Zoning Districts). The proposed fill activities will aid in protecting the natural resources within these areas from continued erosion. The dredging activity will create a safe navigation channel, which when straightened, will reduce erosional stresses on the adjacent shorelines. An "ST" permit is currently being sought for the project and environmental reviews are in progress. OBJECTIVE 10.5: For undeveloped shorelines, provide improved opportunities for recreational, educational, scientific, and esthetic enjoyment of coastal resources by protecting beaches and dunes and by utilizing or where necessary establishing construction standards, which will minimize the impact of manmade structures on the beach and dune systems. Project Consistency with CCME Objective 10.5: By placing beach fill on Barefoot Beach Preserve and Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park, opportunities for recreational use of the shoreline will be enhanced. Wider beaches will allow more users to enjoy the natural resource. Also, esthetic enjoyment of the shoreline will be achieved by repairing the scarps and overly eroded conditions presently found at Barefoot Beach. The beach fill placed from the maintenance dredging will aid in protecting the upland dune system and natural resources from erosion. Construction standards will be in place to minimize impacts to the natural resources within the project area. No permanent structures will be built within the project area which would impact the beach and dune system. Policy 10.5.3: Prohibit activities which would result in man induced shoreline erosion beyond the natural beach erosion cycle or that would deteriorate the beach dune system. Project Consistency with Policy 10.5.3: This project will not cause increased shoreline erosion and it will not deteriorate the beach dune system. On the contrary, one of the four primary goals of the Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging and Navigation Improvement Project is to reduce the current rate of erosion at Barefoot Beach. An extensive coastal study was performed within the project area in order to determine potential impacts from the project. The study included numerical modeling using Delft 3D, analysis of historic and current monitoring results, and analysis of coastal trends. The previous modeling studies indicate that improved navigation conditions and mitigation of erosion on adjacent beaches can be achieved by redesigning the navigation channel and modifying the placement location and quantity of the dredged material. A change in dredge disposal practices is recommended in order to alleviate the sand deficit on the beaches north of Wiggins Pass. From volumetric analysis, 2.65 times the amount of fill should be placed to the north than the south, or about 8,000 cubic yards per year based on current practices. The sediment deficit to the north is the major contributor to the erosion problem; this will aid to balance the sand deficit that is occurring. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 8 of 44 The new channel alignment will also reduce erosional stress along Barefoot Beach's interior shoreline of the pass. The realignment will infill the current channel meander with coarse material to redirect the channel along the newly dredged path. Fill placement in this interior channel adjacent to Barefoot Beach would stabilize the shoreline and stop the erosional loss of mangrove habitat. Implementation of the recommended Inlet Management Plan will have several positive effects on the natural resources surrounding Wiggins Pass. One positive effect will be that the plan will help maintain or increase the available dry beach north of the pass. The placement of sand on the beaches and nearshore would help mitigate for the erosive effects of the pass, thereby helping to protect the adjacent dune and upland habitats from erosion induced losses. The placement of beach quality sand on these beaches will help maintain or increase the amount of available sea turtle, shorebird and gopher tortoise habitat. The project will avoid direct impact to mangroves or seagrass resources. The proposed project will also reduce long term impacts based on average annual dredge quantities. The proposed project will decrease cumulative dredging impacts from 300,000+ cubic yards to 214,000 cubic yards over the first ten year period. Modeling suggests that a straight channel will shoal at one third the rate of the existing configuration. (VI) Policy 10.5.4: Prohibit construction of any structure seaward of the Coastal Construction Setback Line. Exception shall be for passive recreational structures, access crossovers, and where enforcement would not allow any reasonable economic utilization of such property. In the latter event, require construction that minimizes interference with natural function of such beaches and dunes. Project Consistency with Policy 10.5.4: No structures are proposed with this project. Policy 10.5.8: Prohibit shoreline armoring processes and encourage non - structural methods for stabilizing beaches and dunes. Project Consistency with Policy 10.5.8: No permanent shoreline armoring processes are proposed for the project. This project uses a non - structural alternative to help improve navigation and beach fill activities to stabilize the shoreline. (VI) Policy 10.5.9: Prohibit construction seaward of the Coastal Construction Setback Line except as follows: a. Construction will be allowed for public access; b. For protection and restoration of beach resources; C. In cases of demonstrated land use related hardship or safety concerns as specified in The 1985 Florida Coastal Zone Protection Act, there shall be no shore armoring allowed except in cases of public safety. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 9 of 44 Project Consistency with Policy 10.5.9: Only beach fill activities are proposed seaward of the Coastal Construction Setback Line. The added beach from the beach fill activities will be accessible to the public for use and will aid in restoring the shoreline and protecting the upland dune system. Policy 10.5.10: Construction activities shall not interfere with the sea turtle nesting, shall preserve or replace any native vegetation on the site, and shall maintain the natural beach profile and minimize interference with the natural beach dynamics and function. Project Consistency with Policy 10.5.10: The initial construction schedule that has been proposed for Wiggins Pass is planned to avoid sea turtle nesting season. The proposed schedule is as follows: October 1 -30 Mobilization November 1 -15 Dredge pilot channel and stockpile sand on flood shoal. November 16 -30 Build temporary dikes (coarse sand or sheet pile, complete dredging flood channel and inlet throat and back fill old channel. Dredge and transport incompatible material). December 1 -20 Dredge ebb channel and dispose of sand on beach or nearshore of Barefoot Beach. Repair scarps on south point of Barefoot Beach. Complete filling of old channel to approved template as a priority. Dredge and transport incompatible material to a separate offshore disposal area. December 20 -31 Demobilization January 1 — February 28 Contingency for weather and equipment problems. This project will also act to preserve vegetation along the southern portion of Barefoot Beach. Severe erosion has impacted the vegetation at Barefoot Beach where the northward migration of the flood channel has moved approximately 100 feet since the 1970's. The mangroves have retreated a total of 52 feet since 1973 and 13 feet since 2002, accounting for a loss of approximately 0.3 acres. On the Gulf, the vegetation has retreated 194 feet at some locations since 1973, and 123 feet in the last 8 years. Overall, the increased erosion north of the inlet on the Gulf beaches has caused approximately 10 acres of vegetation to be lost since 1992, with 3.2 acres of that loss occurring since 2002. The shoreline recession on South Barefoot Beach has caused vegetation, such as mangroves, to be lost and it has also created a dangerous scarp along the shoreline that is hazardous to park users. The project's goal is to reduce the erosion at Barefoot Beach Preserve, which is causing the loss of vegetation described above. Fill placement in the interior channel adjacent to Barefoot Beach would stabilize the shoreline and stop the erosional loss of mangrove habitat. No vegetation will be removed or damaged during construction. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 10 of 44 The proposed project's intent is to restore and maintain the shorelines at Barefoot Beach Preserve and Delnor- Wiggins State Park at to their natural state. The Barefoot Beach shoreline is currently in a state of critical erosion, which has resulted in steep slopes that have reduced the area's recreational and natural value. The project straightens the current S- curve, which will shift the inlet channel away from Barefoot Beach mangroves and away from the Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park northwest Gulf shoreline. Restoration will increase habitat along with providing increased beach width for park goers. The straightening and periodic dredging of the inlet channel will also help maintain the flushing of the estuarine waters within and adjacent to Wiggins Bay, improving water quality in the area. III. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT CONSERVATION DESIGNATION The overall purpose of the Conservation Designation is to conserve and maintain the natural resources of Collier County and their associated environmental, and recreational and economic benefits. All native habitats possess ecological and physical characteristics that justify attempts to maintain these important natural resources. Barrier Islands, coastal bays, wetlands, and habitat for listed species deserve particular attention because of their ecological value and their sensitivity to perturbation. It is because of this that all proposals for development in the Conservation Designation must be subject to rigorous review to ensure that the impacts of the development do not destroy or unacceptably degrade the inherent functional values. Please address the following in your consistency response: • Explain how the proposed project will conserve and /or maintain the county's natural resources (example: beach maintenance, improved flushing of waterway, etc.) Response: Implementation of the Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging and Navigation Improvement Project will have several positive effects on the natural resources surrounding Wiggins Pass. This project will help maintain or increase the available dry beach north of the pass. The placement of sand on the beaches and nearshore would help mitigate for the erosive effects of the pass, thereby helping to protect the adjacent dune and upland habitats from erosion induced losses. The beach monitoring plan recommended in the Inlet Management Plan will help ensure that the sand will be placed north and south of the inlet in the most appropriate proportions; based on monitoring results, sand will be placed on the areas with the greatest need. The placement of beach quality sand on these beaches will help maintain or increase the amount of available sea turtle, shorebird and gopher tortoise habitat. Another positive effect of the recommended plan involves the shifting of the inlet channel away from Barefoot Beach mangroves and the Delnor- Wiggins State Park northwest Gulf shoreline. Re- establishing a flood shoal in the old flood channel location will provide a substrate for recovery of the lost mangrove habitat. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 11 of 44 The straightening and periodic dredging of the inlet channel will help maintain the flushing of the estuarine waters within and adjacent to Wiggins Bay, improving overall water quality. • Describe adverse impacts, if any, to the environment and describe proposed mitigation Response: In addition to the many positive impacts, this project will have some negative effects. However, these adverse effects will be temporary and minimal, and the project has incorporated precautions to avoid and minimize impacts as much as possible. No benthic natural resources (seagrass, hardbottom, and oyster reefs) will be directly impacted by dredging or filling in the old existing channel. The new alignment portion of the proposed dredge template consists of unconsolidated sandy substrate. Where seagrass and oyster beds have been found closest to the channel wall (at the east end of the project area) (Figure 2), the proposed east and south dredge template is the same as the previously permitted template. This template has been dredged multiple times. Turbidity curtains may be utilized during construction to minimize indirect impacts from elevated turbidity to seagrass and oyster beds in areas adjacent to dredge areas. Dredging of the channel will result in the temporary loss of the benthic infauna within the dredge area. However, studies have shown that infauna typically recolonize the disturbed areas within one year of dredging (NRC, 1995; Greene, 2002; Blake et al., 1996). The dredge plan also includes cutting through a sand spit on the south side of the pass at the north end of Delnor- Wiggins State Park. This sand spit potential provides foraging habitat for shorebirds. However, the new shoal that will be created on the north side of the pass will act as similar bird habitat to the shoal being dredged in the proposed realignment area. The habitat created on the north side of the pass will be similar to the total area being dredged on the south side of the pass. Additionally, the placement of fill will prevent further erosion of the mangrove shoreline at Barefoot Beach. Over time, mangroves may encroach onto the newly stabilized area. Dredging of the new channel will also result in some increased turbidity and sedimentation within the project area. Due to the coarseness of the sand in the inlet channel and based on results from turbidity monitoring associated with previous dredging projects, any resulting turbidity is expected to dissipate quickly. However, precautions will be taken (i.e. turbidity monitoring, timing the dredging with tides, turbidity curtains) in order to minimize turbidity impacts during the interior channel dredging when some fine material is dredged. Placement of fill will occur on unconsolidated sandy substrate with some shell hash and will avoid the seagrass located on the northern side of the Pass (Figure 2). Indirect impacts to this seagrass will be minimized through use of turbidity curtains during construction. Dredge and fill operations have occurred within the project area in the past without known impacts, and this should be an indication that future impacts will be insignificant. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 12 of 44 Disposal of material in the nearshore environment off of Barefoot Beach and Delnor- Wiggins will not impact benthic natural resources (seagrass, hardbottom, or oyster reefs). No seagrass or oyster reefs are located in this environment. No direct impacts to the nearshore hardbottom are anticipated from the project. Proper turbidity regulations will be in place in the nearshore zone, and all non -beach compatible fill will be disposed of properly an offshore disposal area or in an upland location. The fill template is designed to avoid coverage to hardbottom. Under the recommended inlet management plan, the beach disposal areas have been specifically located and designed so as to avoid the direct burial of the identified exposed hardbottom to the north and south.

Natural resources in the vicinity of Wiggins Pass CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 14 of 44 The most extensive reach of hardbottom is located south of Wiggins Pass, extending south of FDEP monument R -18; the location of this hardbottom has been verified by remote sensing and dives by CPE between 1993 and 2009 (Figure 2). There are also potential hardbottom resources located north of Wiggins Pass, between R -9.5 and R -11. These resources were ground - truthed by Collier County divers in September 2010; divers found hardbottom north of the R -11 transect, and no hardbottom south of the R -11.5 transect. The bottom was predominately mud south of R- 11.5. The nearest hardbottom is estimated to be approximately 240 ft. west of the Delnor- Wiggins disposal area, which was previously permitted and used. North of the Pass, the nearest hardbottom is approximately 530 ft. west of the Barefoot Beach disposal area. The ebb shoal disposal area is located north of the inlet, far from hardbottom (Figure 2). Fill at Barefoot Beach will be placed south of R -12 to avoid the potential hardbottom offshore of R -10, as permitted in 2011. The nearshore disposal area may experience temporary impacts to infauna. The nearshore placement of beach compatible dredged material is expected to bury the existing infauna. The infauna, however, is expected to quickly recolonize the affected areas. No long term impacts to the beach infaunal community are expected from the project. As there are no anticipated project impacts to benthic natural resources (seagrass, hardbottom, and oyster reefs) no mitigation is proposed. 0 Explain the proposed project's environmental, recreational and economic benefits Implementation of the Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging and Navigation Improvement Project will have several positive effects on the natural resources surrounding Wiggins Pass. This project will help maintain or increase the available dry beach north south of the pass. The placement of sand on the beaches and nearshore would help mitigate for the erosive effects of the pass, thereby helping to protect the adjacent dune and upland habitats from erosion induced losses. The beach monitoring plan recommended in the Inlet Management Plan will help ensure that the sand will be placed north and south of the inlet in the most appropriate proportions; based on monitoring results, sand will be placed on the areas with the greatest need. The placement of beach quality sand on these beaches will help maintain or increase the amount of available sea turtle, shorebird and gopher tortoise habitat. Another positive effect of the recommended plan involves the shifting of the inlet channel away from Barefoot Beach mangroves and the Delnor- Wiggins State Park north Gulf shoreline. Re- establishing the flood shoal in the old flood channel location will provide a substrate for recovery of the lost mangrove habitat. The straightening and periodic dredging of the inlet channel will help maintain the flushing of the estuarine waters within and adjacent to Wiggins Bay, improving overall water quality. Wiggins Pass is used primarily by recreational boaters. In the mid- 1990's, 763 boats were berthed in the inlet basin, including 31 commercial vessels. The number of slips had increased to 1,700 by 2010. The commercial boats use the Pass for charter, rental, or tours, and at least 67 jobs are dependent on a navigable Wiggins Pass Basin (CPE, 1995). Access is limited to adjacent CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 15 of 44 passes because of shallow depths in interior lagoons to the north and no interior waterway to the south. Therefore, Wiggins Pass is the only local access to the Gulf of Mexico. In August 2009, an updated boating survey entitled "A Recreational Boating Characterization of Collier County, FL" was completed. This studied surveyed two marinas within the Wiggins Pass area: Pelican Isle Yacht Club and Barefoot Boat Club. Pelican Isle Yacht Club has a capacity of 190 for wet slips only. Barefoot Boat Club has a capacity of 24 wet slips and 90 dry slips. Pelican Isle Yacht Club had an occupancy of 105 spots, while Barefoot Boat Club had an occupancy of 91 slips during the peak season. The study found that the average boat draft in the wet slips to be approximately 3 feet. No other marinas or docking areas were surveyed near the pass within the 2009 study. Boaters also have access to two boat ramps in the close vicinity of Wiggins Pass: Cocohatchee River Park ramp and Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park ramp. On average per weekend, Cocohatchee documented 20 uses while Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park documented an average of four. Eleven percent of all boat routes in the County went through Wiggins Pass, which ranks it as the 5th busiest pass in the County. The study also noted that fishing ranked as the leading activity of survey respondents. Nature viewing, cruising, beach picknicking, sightseeing, socializing, restaurant visitation, and swimming also ranked within the top 7 in the study. Recently, the Estuary Conservation Association (ECA) prepared a study examining the value of a navigable Wiggins Pass in December of 2010. The purpose of this study was to provide basic information of the financial impact of a navigable channel at Wiggins Pass. The study found that 3,001 properties are directly affected by the Pass, which had an assessed property value of $1,498,144,681 (note that the market value would be higher than this figure). These directly affected properties accounted for $20,652,730 in taxes in 2010. In addition to those properties directly affected by the pass, it was found that an additional 6,406 properties were indirectly related. The total property assessment on these properties was $2,289,757,460. These indirectly affected properties accounted for $27,573,916 in taxes in 2010. Combining both direct and indirectly affected properties, the net worth around the pass is $3,910,401,141. A slip analysis estimated the value of 1,700 boat slips directly affected by the pass. The analysis is described in detail below: Table 1. Boat Slips: Numbers and Values Of the slips listed above, most examined within this study pay submerged lease fees to the State of Florida.

Boca Raton Blvd. Boca Raton, Florida 33431 February 2012 Revised April 2012 CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 17 of 44 WIGGINS PASS MAINTENANCE DREDGING AND NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA ENVIRONMENTAL DATA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY According to Collier County Land Development Code (LDC) 10.02.02.A, environmental data must be submitted to ensure that the proposed project meets the land development standards contained within the LDC. Environmental data must be prepared in support of a Special Treatment Permit approval. Special Treatment (ST) Overlays (LDC 02.03.07) are areas within the County which, "because of their unique assemblages of flora and/or fauna, their aesthetic appeal, historic or archeological significance, rarity in the County, or their contribution to their own and adjacent ecosystems, make them worthy of special regulations." Such areas include mangrove and freshwater swamps, barrier islands, hardwood hammocks, and coastal beaches, all of which fall within the vicinity of Wiggins Pass. The purpose of the ST designation is to assure the preservation and maintenance of these resources. The areas adjacent to Wiggins Pass (Barefoot Beach to the north and Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park to the south) are zoned as Conservation — Special Treatment Areas; therefore, special attention must be paid to ensure that the project preserves and maintains these areas. This environmental data is also submitted in support of Collier County's Growth Management Plan (GMP); specifically, the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME) Goal 10, which states that "the County shall protect, conserve, manage, and appropriately use its coastal barriers including shorelines, beaches and dunes and will plan for, and where appropriate, will restrict activities where such activities will damage or destroy coastal resources." This Environmental Data Submittal includes the information required in LDC 10.02.02.A, where applicable to the Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging and Navigation Improvement Project. This environmental data includes information on natural communities, vegetation, and listed species within and adjacent to the project area, including both terrestrial and marine habitats; however, construction of this project will occur almost entirely in the marine environment. The Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging and Navigation Improvement Project is a non - structural solution designed to improve navigation and to address the critical erosion issue at Barefoot Beach. This project will not involve the removal of any native vegetation or wetlands, and avoidance measures will be incorporated during dredging to avoid impacts to seagrass resources. The proposed project will re- establish a historic location of the flood channel: the new flood channel will be relocated to the where the flood channel was located in the last 60 -80 years. Overall, the proposed project consists of an initial dredging, major maintenance dredging every 4 years, and minor maintenance dredging in between, for a total volume of approximately 214,000 cubic yards over a ten -year period. The existing project requires dredging at least 50,000 cubic yards every 2 years, for a total cumulative volume of at least 300,000 cubic yards every decade. The proposed dredging plan is a distinct improvement, dredging approximately 86,000 cubic yards less than the existing project over a ten -year period. 1 COASTAL PLANNING He ENGINEERING, INC.

WIGGINS PASS MAINTENANCE DREDGING AND NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA ENVIRONMENTAL DATA 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 20 of 44 The goals for the Wiggins Pass navigation improvement study as developed by Collier County and the Wiggins Pass Modeling Evaluation Committee are: 1. To provide a safe channel for boating 2. To address erosion at Barefoot Beach 3. To lengthen the dredge cycle, accomplished with the least impact on the environment 4. To provide a solution that is economically effective A non - structural alternative is an objective for the inlet design in order to improve navigation. The committee, which formulated the main goals for Wiggins Pass, represented a broad range of local stake holders appointed by the County government. The current and historic inlet and shoreline conditions were evaluated in order to develop an improved inlet management strategy. A complete coastal study was performed in conjunction with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Joint Coastal Permit (JCP) process. This study included an engineering report and two modeling reports. The 2012 engineering report contains a refined modeling report that was based upon the initial 2009 modeling study. The 2009 report also contains minutes and details from the special committee of the Coastal Advisory Committee (CAC). The project recommended in the 2009 modeling study and refined based on comments generated by the 2010 permit application is summarized below. Refinements were developed during the last year based on a new field investigations and further consultation with agencies. The plan addresses concerns expressed by FDEP Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems (BBCS) and Park Service, and other local interest groups. It addresses not only navigation, but also improved sand bypassing, modifications to channel dredging, improved locations for sand disposal, and an updated inlet management study. It accomplishes improved navigation and sediment management by a combination of straightening the channel, major and small maintenance dredging, and new sand disposal practices. The proposed design modifies and improves upon the County- approved 1995 Wiggins Pass Inlet Management Plan. This project includes channel realignment which will be accomplished by straightening the inlet channel layout and infilling and blocking the northern flood shoal meander (Figure 1). The east, north, and south interior channel entrances are identified for maintenance dredging, should sand shoal within their respective boundaries. The designated dredge disposal locations and distribution will be modified and relocated based on shoreline monitoring results, 1 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING, INC.

CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 22 of 44 The beach fill and scarp repair (upland disposal) element at Barefoot Beach is contingent based upon clarification of land use and management plans. Beach fill can either be placed onshore or nearshore at Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park. Both have received preliminary support from Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The method for determining the size and location of bypassing operations between the north and south beaches is proposed based on equalizing the volumetric change rates for an equal distance north and south of the inlet based on the 2001 surveyed profiles. Only volumes dredged in the ebb shoal will count, since flood shoal dredge and fill operations are a zero sum operation. Volume placed by an independent nourishment project would be factored out of these calculations, since non - maintenance dredging sources may be needed to restore the beach and ebb shoal north of the inlet, where similar impacts do not exist south of the inlet. Priority for dredge material is for rebuilding the north flood shoal, and then bypassing to adjacent beaches. In order to minimize project dredging, some natural migration of the channel will be allowed. The ebb channel will be allowed to migrate up to 50 feet north and south, except at the gap in the hard substrate. The flood channel will be allowed to migrate up to 50 feet north. Dredging centered on the current channel location, to the maximum extent practical, will reduce dredging volumes. The size of the new channel is summarized in the table below. Table 1.

It also addresses balancing inlet bypassing based on FDEP inlet management principles. A 10 -year plan is proposed in order to achieve the project goals, with details listed below. 1) Initial construction of straightened channel i) Dredge compatible sand from ebb channel — 41,000 cy (Range of 24,000 to 58,000 c.y.) ii) Dredge flood channel — 36,400 c.y. iii) Dredge incompatible material — 7,500 c.y. iv) Build beach, nearshore, ebb shoal and scour repair with compatible sand — 38,200 c.y. v) Fill meander with compatible sand — 39,200 c.y. vi) Offshore borrow pit disposal of unsuitable sand - 7,500 c.y. 3 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING, INC. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 23 of 44 2) Major maintenance dredging — 50,000 c.y. every 4 years with disposal balanced to favor adjacent Gulf shoreline with greatest need based on equalizing volumetric changes. i) Place beach compatible sand in beach, nearshore or ebb shoal. 3) Intermediate ebb channel dredging as needed i) Excavate and clear ebb channel at the bar and laterally place about 8,000 to 10,000 c.y. in the north ebb shoal to promote regrowth. 4) Create contingency, monitoring, and inlet management plans i) No direct mitigation expected 5) Nourish critically eroded area on Barefoot Beach and rebuild ebb shoal as supplemental bypassing when feasible until the shoreline and shoal recovers (this is part of a separate permit and project). Intermediate ebb channel dredging (small scale dredging) may be needed to clear the channel at the bar. Material from the small scale dredgings would be placed to an area approximately 300- 1000 feet north of the inlet (ebb shoal disposal area). Two of the main purposes for placement of this fill in the ebb shoal disposal area are to feed the re- growth of the ebb shoal and to allow for clearing of the ebb channel. If dredging could be conducted using smaller equipment during the calmer times of the year, it would also be very economical. Each of the tasks described above supports improved navigation and inlet management. The engineering report has identified three reasons why the 1995 inlet plan did not perform well. First, the sediment transport direction is not predominately southerly. The disposal location and a 50:50 split of bypassed sand to adjacent beaches was imbalanced. The sand needs to be disposed of closer to the inlet and approximately two- thirds needs to go to the north. This imbalanced disposal since 1984 needs short term supplemental sand to address past practices. The new plan addresses the imbalance, recovery of the north ebb shoal, the Barefoot Beach hot spot south of R -14, and improving navigation. A structural solution using a jetty, breakwater or T -groin has been suggested as an economical alternative, but is not supported by FDEP BBCS, the Wiggins Pass Modeling Evaluation Committee, and local policy and plans. Given the local coastal processes, a simple but workable structure that accomplishes the above goals would be difficult. 1.2 PROJECT PERMITTING Collier County submitted a Joint Coastal Permit (JCP) application to FDEP and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) on February 17, 2010.

The Everglades lie to the southeast. Collier County has 35 miles of accessible coastline, consisting of a series of barrier islands and mainland extensions sub - divided by lagoons, rivers, and inlets. Collier County has six inlets north of the Ten Thousand Islands, with Wiggins Pass being the farthest north. Figure 2. Project location map. Wiggins Pass is located 5 miles north of Clam Pass and 5.9 miles south of Big Hickory Pass. Wiggins Pass is a natural inlet which provides access to the Gulf of Mexico for a number of embayments and rivers along three main interior channels. The eastern channel connects to the Cocohatchee River. The southern channel connects to Water Turkey Bay and Vanderbilt Lagoon, and the northern channel connects to the lagoon between Little Hickory Island and the mainland. This northern lagoon consists of a number of embayments including May Flower, Palm Vines, Little Hickory Bays, and eventually connects to Big Hickory Pass. There is no interior waterway connection south to Clam Pass. Population centers near the pass include Vanderbilt Beach and Naples Park to the south and Bonita Shores to the north. Wiggins Pass is bounded by public lands which extend 7,950 linear feet to the north and 6,010 linear feet to the south. Barefoot Beach Preserve lies to the north and Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park is to the south. 6 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING, INC. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 26 of 44 Wiggins Pass is currently dredged at regular intervals of approximately 2 years to maintain navigation for boats with up to a 3 foot draft. The pass provides boat access to the Gulf from inland waterways and lagoons at Vanderbilt Beach, the Cocohatchee River, Wiggins Pass Marina, and several other private and public marinas and ramps. The dredged channel extends from the inlet throat to about 1,200 feet offshore. Periodic dredging has occurred at the intersection of the interior channels. Disposal areas are located north of the inlet between R11.4 to R14.2 and south of the inlet between R18 and R20.5. The inlet has been dredged since 1984 under two previous permits. The history of Wiggins Pass inlet management is included in the engineering study, provided here as Appendix 3. 2.2 SPECIAL TREATEMENT OVERLAYS Special Treatment (ST) overlays (LDC 02.03.07) are areas within the County which, "because of their unique assemblages of flora and/or fauna, their aesthetic appeal, historic or archeological significance, rarity in the County, or their contribution to their own and adjacent ecosystems, make them worthy of special regulations." Such areas include mangrove and freshwater swamps, barrier islands, hardwood hammocks, and coastal beaches, all of which fall within the Wiggins Pass project vicinity (Figure 3). The purpose of the ST is to assure the preservation and maintenance of these resources. Further information regarding ST districts can be found in Collier County's Land Development Code (LDC), sections 2.03.07.13, 3.03.02.B, 4.02.12.E -H, and 10.02.06.D. The Special Treatment (ST) permit application is provided as Appendix 4. 7 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING, INC. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 27 of 44 Figure 3. Zoning districts and Special Treatment (ST) overlays adjacent to Wiggins Pass. (CON = Conservation Zoning District, A = Agricultural Zoning District) 2.3 NATURAL COMMUNITY Wiggins Pass is a relatively large area of mangrove swamp, with a series of shallow coastal bays connecting the Cocohatchee River to the Gulf of Mexico. The pass is bordered to the north by Barefoot Beach Preserve and to the south by Delnor- Wiggins State Park. The natural resources of the project area are comprised of three major resource classifications including: the beach and dune system, and upland areas; estuarine resources; and the nearshore Gulf of Mexico. The marine and estuarine environments surrounding Wiggins Pass are directly influenced by the pass, which allows for the mixing of Gulf and estuarine waters. Temperature and salinity regimes are predominantly controlled by the tide. The pass provides access for a variety of estuarine -marine migratory species, including snook and mullet. The following 8 COASTAL PLANNING He ENGINEERING, INC. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 28 of 44 descriptions of the natural resources are based on available references and on -site investigations. Detailed descriptions of the habitats found north and south of Wiggins Pass can be found in the Barefoot Beach Land Management Plan (Appendix 5 (pp. 5 -11; Appendix E; Appendix I)) and Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park Unit Management Plan (Appendix 6 (pp. 9 -20)). 2.3.1. Beach and Dune System, and Upland Areas Beaches The sandy beaches surrounding Wiggins Pass are characteristic of low energy shorelines, having a relatively gentle, shallow offshore slope. These beaches, as well as inshore and offshore sandbars, provide a resting and foraging habitat for shorebirds and wading birds. Species commonly observed in these areas include pelicans, herons, egrets, gulls, terns, plovers, sandpipers and small passerine species (Townsend and Olson, 2007). The beaches also provide foraging habitat for a few terrestrial mammals, such as raccoons and squirrels. Other organisms inhabiting the beach zone include amphipods, isopods, coquina clams (Donax variabilis), polychaete worms, and various crabs such as mole crabs (Emerita talpoida) and the common ghost crab (Ocypode sp.). The beaches provide nesting habitat for sea turtles, primarily the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). Nesting data for the years 2005- 2010 are provided below in Section 3.0. Dune System and Upland Areas Wiggins Pass is bounded on the north by Barefoot Beach Preserve and on the south by Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park. Both of these natural areas support coastal dune /upland habitat. The habitat can be divided into four west - east zones or parallel bands of vegetation, including the pioneer zone, foredune, coastal strand, and maritime hammock (Townsend and Olson, 2007). The upper beach, or pioneer zone, is sparsely populated with salt - tolerant vines and grasses such as sea oats (Uniola paniculata). This band of vegetation extends the length of the beach and provides natural erosion protection to the beach dune. This zone is periodically disturbed by storm waves or high tides and is subsequently recolonized by pioneer species. Landward of the pioneer zone is the foredune, colonized by low bush species such as inkberry (Scaevola plumieri) and bay cedar (Suriana maritima). The native foredune vegetation has been replaced by the exotic Australian pine (Casuarina equisetifolia) in some places. This habitat zone is utilized by the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a state - listed species of special concern and a candidate species for federal listing (see Section 3.0). The coastal strand is a transitional zone between the foredune and maritime hammock. In addition to sea oats and bay cedar, the coastal strand supports small trees and shrubs such as seagrape (Cocoloba uvifera), necklace pod (Sophora tomentosa), and saw palmetto (Serenoa repens). Both Australian pines and the exotic Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) can shade out native vegetation in this zone. The coastal strand also provides valuable gopher tortoise habitat. Landward of the coastal strand is a stable backdune community called the maritime hammock. The western portion of this habitat is composed primarily of cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto) 9 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING, INC. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 29 of 44 stands with large open areas in between. Small hardwood trees grow interspersed within the cabbage palms. Vines are common, as well as low shrub and ground cover such as beach lantana (Lantana involucrata), Spanish needles (Bidens alba) and blue porterweed (Stachytarpheta jamaicensis). The maritime hammock includes a diverse plant community and serves as prime gopher tortoise habitat. 2.3.2 Estuarine Resources Estuarine wetlands within the Wiggins Pass project area include the tidal wetlands and submerged habitats within and adjacent to the pass. East of the pass, several finger canals and a connecting channel have been dredged for boat access from adjacent marinas and developed areas. With the exception of periodic dredging through the navigational channels, the remaining tidal and submerged wetlands within the project area are primarily undeveloped and retain their natural characteristics. These shallow estuarine waters and the adjacent tidal areas support productive mangrove forests, and seagrass, algal, and oyster beds. These tidal and submerged wetlands serve as important breeding, feeding and nursery grounds for numerous fish and invertebrates such as crabs and shrimp. Birds, such as egrets, terns, and herons, forage on small invertebrates and fish found in the tidal flats and within the pass. Common infauna include ghost crabs, mole crabs, coquina clams, and various polychaetes, amphipods and isopods. Like many of the intertidal animals found in this zone, coquina clams and mole crabs are preyed upon by shorebirds and fish, thus providing a vital trophic link within this community. Additionally, the sandy shoal areas within the project area, primarily along the north end of Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park, are important to horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus), which spawn along the wet beaches of the project area (Robert Steiger, pers. comm., 2011). The eggs of the horseshoe crab are, in turn, an important food source for foraging red knots (Calidris canutus), a species that winters in Florida. Due to overfishing, horseshoe crab populations have declined over recent years; as a result, red knot numbers have also dropped dramatically. Manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) and bottle -nosed dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are also common in the area, and have been observed within Wiggins Pass. Mangroves Extensive mangrove forests, including red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) and white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa), fringe the waterways, while small red mangrove islands dot the estuary. Red and black mangroves dominate those areas which are frequently inundated by normal tidal action while white mangroves and buttonwoods (Conocarpus erectus) are usually found at slightly higher elevations where tidal inundation is less frequent. These forests provide both habitat and foraging areas for various species of birds, crabs and other invertebrates, and the subtidal mangrove roots serve as nursery grounds for fish species such as snook (Centropomus undecimalis), mullet (Mugil cephalus) and sea trout (Cynoscion nebulosus). 10 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING, INC. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 30 of 44 Seagrass Several field investigations over the years conducted by CPE and others have revealed scattered seagrass beds throughout the project area, found in sparse to moderate density (Figure 4). Three species have been observed in the area, including Cuban shoal grass (Halodule wrightii), turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum), and paddle grass (Halophila decipiens), although shoal grass is overwhelmingly the most common species observed. These beds are typically found along the shallow shelf lining the main navigational channel, and within the shallow protected areas fringing the small mangrove islands. No seagrass was observed within the main channel. Copies of recent seagrass surveys and an observation report summarizing a September 29, 2011, site visit with Mark Sramek — NMFS Habitat Conservation Department, are provided as Appendix 7. Oyster Beds Scattered clusters of oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are also common along the fringing mangroves and surrounding the mangrove islands deep within the inlet (Figure 4). 2.3.3 Nearshore Gulf of Mexico The nearshore Gulf of Mexico classification includes the littoral (intertidal) zone and the sublittoral (offshore) zone. The littoral zone is inhabited by organisms such as polychaete worms, crustaceans, and bivalves. Organisms common to the sublittoral zone include annelid worms, crustaceans, echinoderms, pelecypod and gastropod mollusks, and various species of crabs and shrimp. In addition, the coastal waters contain a variety of commercial and sport fishes including snook (Centropomus undecimalis), pompano (Trachinotus carolinus), spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus), groupers (Epinephelus and Mycteroperca spp.), snappers (Lu Janus spp.), redfish (Sciaenops ocellatus) and flounders. The nearshore Gulf floor consists of a mosaic of carbonate sand, small areas of low- relief exposed hardbottom, and thin layers of carbonate sand over hardbottom. Low relief hardbottom habitat is located offshore of the project area, ranging from 300 to 500 feet from shore. Adjacent to Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park, the hardbottom is as close as 150 -200 feet from shore. In general, the sand -silt substrate supports a low- diversity, low density soft bottom assemblage. Organisms frequently associated with the soft bottom include pen shells (Atrina rigida), tube worms (Chaetopterus variopedatus), fighting conch (Strombus alatus) and various echinoderms (Lytechinus variegatus, Mellita quinquiesperforata, Astropecten sp., and Luidia senegalensis). Coastal Planning & Engineering, Inc. (CPE) has conducted detailed mapping of nearshore hardbottom north and south of Wiggins Pass (Figure 4). Hardbottom Resources , Hardbottom mapping has been conducted in the nearshore region of Wiggins Pass. Exposed hardbottom is not known to be present within or near the channels of Wiggins Pass. A rock substrate has been verified to be located under the sand of the ebb shoal. Data collected since 1979 has shown a rock substrate or ledge exists in the Wiggins Pass ebb shoal. The ledge shown in Figure 4 was the report location from the 1990's, but recent investigations show it extended across the ebb shoal. 11 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING, INC. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 31 of 44 The most extensive reach of hardbottom is located south of Wiggins Pass, extending south of FDEP monument R -18; the location of this hardbottom has been verified by remote sensing and dives by CPE between 2003 and 2009 (Figure 4). Exposed hardbottom is located as close as 600 feet from the shoreline between R -20 and R -21 and over 1,000 feet offshore at R -18. There are also potential hardbottom resources located north of Wiggins Pass, between R -9.5 and R -11. The closest potential hardbottom detected during a CPE 1994 side scan survey was approximately 900 ft from R -11. These resources were ground - truthed by Collier County divers in September 2010 (Appendix 8); divers found hardbottom north of the R -11 transect, and no hardbottom south of the R -11.5 transect. South from R -11.5, the bottom was predominately mud. CPE has conducted multiple assessments of the biotic community found on the hardbottom south of Wiggins Pass. Dominant epibiota include macroalgae and sponges, with some octocorals and scleractinian corals. Common macroalgae genera include Caulerpa, Botryolcladia, Gracilaria, Hypnea and Sargassum. Bioeroding sponges are also common, including Pione lampa and Cliona celata. Although soft corals can be locally abundant, diversity is low, with Leptogorgia virgulata and L. hebes most commonly observed. Stony coral species include Solenastrea hyades, S. bournoni, Siderastrea siderea, S. radians, Oculina robusta, Cladocora arbuscula and Phyllangia americana (CPE, 2009). 12 COASTAL PLANNING & ENGINEERING, INC. 0 1,000 2,000 �0 Feet 1 inch = 2.000 feet R -1 t CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 32 of 44 LEGEND: --- PROPOSED DISPOSALAREA jf 2011 PRELIMINARY ALIGNMENT 2000 -2011 PERMITTED DREDGE TEMPLATE r — SEPTEMBER 9, 2010 HARDBOTTOM OBSERVATION r AUGUST 2009 SSS HARDBOTTOM EDGE 1994 SSS POTENTIAL HARDBOTTOM Q 2009 OYSTER BEDS , ;, r • 2009 EDGE OF MANGROVE m • 2011 SURVEYED SEAGRASS (HALODULE WRIGHTII) 2009 SEAGRASS (HALODULE WRIGHTII) 2009 SEAGRASS (HALOPHILA DECIPIENS) 2008 SURVEYED SEAGRASS REPORTED ROCK SUBSTRATE (CEC 1990, CPE 1995) 2009 GOPHER TORTOISE BURROW SURVEY VERY ACTIVE ACTIVE ,a INACTIVE * ABANDONED OUTSTANDING FLORIDA WATERS OTHER (62- 302.700 (9) (c) and (f), F_A.C.)

The Collier County Parks and Recreation Department surveys 16.9 miles (27.2 km) of beach including Barefoot, Vanderbilt, Park Shore, and Marco Island. According to the 2010 Collier County Sea Turtle Protection Plan Annual Report (Kraus et al., 2010), staff documented 422 loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) nests during the 2010 season, a moderate increase from 297 nests in 2009. Twenty nests were documented on the 1.2 mile (1.9 km) beach along Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park, and 87 nests were documented on the 3.1 -mile (5 -km) Barefoot Beach survey area. During the 2010 nesting season, 3.5% (14) of the documented nests were disoriented. Seven percent (3 1) of the nests were depredated, which is an increase from four percent last year. A total of 27,142 hatchlings were estimated to have reached the Gulf of Mexico. The number of successfully emerged hatchlings represents an increase compared to 19,869 hatchlings that reached the Gulf of Mexico in 2009. The number of strandings in Collier County was 47 in 2010. This was a slight increase from 40 in 2009. Data from Collier County Sea Turtle Protection Plan Annual Reports, 2005- 2010, are presented in Tables 3 and 4. Table 3 presents sea turtle nesting data from Barefoot Beach (R -1 to R -16) and Delnor- Wiggins Pass State Park (R -17 to R -22) between 2005 and 2010; all nests were laid by loggerheads.

The Project includes navigation improvements to Wiggins Pass along with inlet bypassing required by the State's new inlet legislation in Sections 161..142 and 161,143; Florida Statues (see enclosed project drawing). Net maintenance has occurred since. 1984, along with sand bypassing to adjacent shorelines. Current practices need to be modified to better serve the community, the environment, the boating public, the State Park System and the County. As directed by the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems in their March 24, 2010 RAI #1, we are requesting a letter of "no objection" for activities above mean high water (MHW) which include activities proposed as follows: I. Sand placement on Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park ( DWSP) above MHW. 2.. As part of equitable sand bypassing, we are requesting. direction on where to place sand on DWSP, if the State's preference differ from 1 above. 3. Sand placement on Barefoot Beach above MHW, which is State Lands. 4. Dredge through an ephemeral sand spit in the inlet at DWSP. In the March 2010 Request for Addition Information (Permit No. 0142538- 008 -JC), the FDEP requested a letter of no objection from the easement/lease holders. The County submitted the response to FDEP request for additional information on January 30; 2012, which addressed improved inlet management for Wiggins Pass.

These documents can be viewed on the Collier County website at http / /www:collierov.net/Index.aspx ?Wage =2894. The engineering, geology, and modeling analysis submitted with the response indicates that straidghtening the navigation channel will reduce. maintenance dredging needs by approximately 1/3" compared to current inlet maintenance practices. In addition, it will reduce impacts to adjacent shorelines and correct the sediment imbalance in inlet bypassing. that has occurred starting with the first dredging event in 1984. The results of field 'investigations and studies have not supported: the state park's concerns about impacting natural resources and removing stabilizing geology. The proposed flood channel is at the location of the natural channel approximately 65 -80 years ago. yl!'

J Both Barefoot Beach and Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park are state lands, and an efficient navigation channel and inlet management plan requires use of state lands above mean high water CAC May 11, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 42 of 44 . Wiggins Pass Study/Permit App. February 16, 2012 Page 3 of 4 (MHW). The most efficient beneficial use of sand dredge from the inlet is to place it onshore at both parks. The last permit (JCP #0142538- 001 -JC) allowed placement'on Delnor Wiggins.State Park above MHW but called for placement in the nearshore zone at Barefoot Beach. Modeling indicates that sand placed onshore at Barefoot Beach will have a longer residence time, which is also applicable to Delnor Wiggins State Park. The proposed bypassing plan at DWSP is. to place the and into the nearshore disposal area shown in the project drawing. Since Collier County manages Barefoot Beach, the county is working 'to modify the park's management plan to allow beach- disposal.. The County has placed sand onto the beach at. Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park in the past, but recently there. have been objections to sand from inlet dredging. Please tell us your preferences for disposal of the inlet sand. The construction of a straight channel will also require dredging a small sand spit, which has emerged since 2005 on the north shoreline of DWSP. We received a letter from Michael Barnett, Chief of the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, dated May 13, 2011 with qualified support for constructing a straight channel through Wiggins Pass, 'as illustrated in the above. figure. This straight channel will require cutting the small'sand spit that protrudes into the inlet from Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park. The May 13 letter appears to provide the basis for "no objection" response contingent on approval of our plan. If the straight channel was proposed 6 years. ago, there would have been no sand spit in the way of the proposed channel. Please Z provide the "no objection" for this activity. We request a letter of "no objection" for the work above MHW from the appropriate FDEP ;department to include Barefoot Beach if applicable. We also request the Department provide a preference for a sand bypassing disposal area for Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park. The engineering plan we submitted with the response to FDEP request for additional information (JCP File No. 0142538- 008 -JC) provides substantial documentation why the proposed plan needs to be implemented. Continuing with the current management plan or a no action plan will lead to severe imp acts to Barefoot Beach and.the northwest point of DWSP. A less than optimal plan based on - compromises with local stakeholders was developed in the mid -1990s and implemented in 2000, and it has proven inadequate. We believe that the .proposed plan will improve navigation -and conditions on both sides of the inlet with less cumulative impacts.

Marco South Beach is designated as critically eroded from R144 to monument G -2 2. Historic shoreline and volumetric studies confirmed severe localized beach erosion for the last 2,000 Lf of beach R147 to G -2. 3. Only public beach access for South Marco Beach. 4. TS Fay eroded 77,000 CY of material from south beach in 2008 and PW 0561 was granted to renourish the beach up to $2,822,578 with a 75% federal cost share. Our recent estimates and scope expect the cost to be closer to $1,800,000 for 104K Cy's and if this is true would result in an approximate $1,000,000 reimbursement for this project. The authorization has recently been extended to 6/30/2013. These extensions are harder and harder to get. 5. South Marco renourished in 90 -91 with 575K Cy of sand; 1997 with 80K Cy's of sand; and 06/07 with 176K Cy's of sand. 6. Three detached breakwaters and two groins were built to mitigate the effects of the Navy seawall /radar station. Seawall produced reflective wave energy that severely eroded the beaches to the north. These structures need to be rebuilt back to the design standards to reduce erosion as intended. The estimated cost for this work is $1,200,000 and will not be reimbursed by FEMA. What is the right quantity of sand to place on the beach 1. Method 1— Use the FEMA justification and renourish the beaches to 2013: a. Storm damage from TS Fay as computed by Humiston and Moore in 2008 was 77K Cy's (75K Cy's from R147 to G -2). b. Annualized Background Erosion from 2007 to 2009 was 9,000 Cy's per year as computed by Coastal Planning and Engineering in 2010. c. For years 2011, 2012 and 2013 the background erosion would be 27K Cy's. d. Total yardage is 104K Cy's 2. Method 2 — Utilize recent monitoring reports and follow BCC direction to maximize the time between beach renourishments. a. Humiston and Moore's 2011 monitoring report indicates that from R147 to G -1 the beach has receded 80 feet in width and lost 53,434 Cy's of sand from 2007 to 2011. b. The beach duration for the 53,434 volume loss is 5 years. Using a Background Erosion of 9,000 Cy's per year which is less that recent erosion rates, 5 additional years of advanced renourishment to offset future erosion for a 10 year project would necessitate an additional 45K Cy's of sand. c. The total volume required is 99K Cy's. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -6 Staff Reports 2 of 2 Why renourish now? 1. Marco South is a critically eroded beach segment with documented beach width losses of 80 feet and 54,000 Cy's of volume loss. Renourishment is currently required. The plan is to renourish with 104K Cy's and this has been reviewed and approved by FDEP, City of Marco Island, CAC and TDC. 2. A key element of gulf shoreline stability is to maintain design beach width fronting seawall to preclude wave reflective energy from accelerating erosion. Without completing this renourishment, it is expected that the Marco South beach will experience higher erosion rates which will persist and extend further to the north along gulf -front shoreline. 3. Rebuilding the erosion control structures to the original design standards will prevent beach erosion. 4. FEMA PW authorization will expire on 6/30/2013. Extensions are harder and harder to obtain. Approximately $1M in reimbursement is expected and in jeopardy. 5. Completion of Marco Island renourishment will lend credibility to the County extension request for the major beach renourishment CAC May 11, 2012 VII -8 Staff Reports u.S.

Ms. Wight is requesting your assistance concerning the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) review of a time extension request submitted by Collier County (Subgrantee) to complete the repairs to its beaches that were damaged as a result of the storm surge associated with Tropical Storm Fay. In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Fay, FEMA, in conjunction with the State of Florida (Grantee) and Subgrantee representatives, prepared Project Worksheets 561 and 1146 to replace 76,728 cubic yards of sand on Marco Island Beach and 174,576 cubic yards of sand on Vanderbilt, Park Shore and Naples Beach. Based on the information provided, the time extension was partially approved until June 30, 2013.

As we discussed at that meeting, my family's small hotel, the Vanderbilt Beach Resort, is located directly on the beach. As a result, I have firsthand experience with the beach erosion on Vanderbilt Beach. I am writing to advise you of two things that have happened since our meeting t week that further highlight the seriousness of the beach erosion problem. First, for the past several years, we have helped out the County CVB's sports tourism efforts by hosting a professional volleyball beach tournament in May and August on the beach in front of our hotel. Our beach is now so seriously eroded that we cannot fit even one beach volleyball court on the beach, and we have been forced to inform the CVB that we cannot act as a host this year. Second, during our meeting I told you that in my view it seemed likely that the Gulf would be up to the dunes long before the planned renourishment in 2013. I asked you who to contact when that happened and you indicated that I should contact you. The waters have risen faster than I expected and the Gulf was all the way up to the dunes this past weekend. There was little to no beach. I am attaching pictures that show exactly what the conditions were. There was no place for any of our tourists or guests to sit on the beach, and looking up and down Vanderbilt Beach, both tourists and locals barely had room to walk between the water and the beachfront properties. The serious beach erosion is starting to negatively affect our business and this negative effect will intensify along the entire beach as the beach further erodes this summer -- especially if we have any strong tropical storms. I understand that the County has a plan to renourish the beaches in 2013 and that the current plan is to start South and work North. I am not familiar with all of the nuances of that plan or the science at supports it. But I do know one thing -- we need renourishment on Vanderbilt Beach right now. Anybody can see that from the pictures attached. We simply cannot wait until 2013. I urge you to cdnsider an emergency beach renourishment on �junty needs to act before this becomes a crisis. CAC May 11, 2012 VII -9 Staff Reports 2of2 Vanderbilt Beach as soon as possible. The lease confirm receipt of this email, and let me know how the County intends to proceed. Thank you.

(colleen.finnegan @boem.gov); Culbertson, Jennifer Cc: Floyd, Lauren Subject: FW: Collier -BOEM Telecon- 04 -24 -12 Colleen Jennifer Gary For our telephone conference next week, CPE has a few suggested discussion, point: Collier County has a desire to minimize the effort on this project since it is a repeat, and would like to use the results leading to the 2005 EA to the greatest extent practical. The 2005 lease used the GOM BO for sea turtles, and borrow area T -1 was the focus of a special study and analysis by MMS after it was dredged. The state and Federal permits are good for 10 years, and the County is seeking a permit modification on the 2005 permit for the 2013 -14 projects. We reviewed the notes from our Nov. 1, 2011 teleconference with BOEM in preparation for Tuesday's meeting, and there are a couple of points. we are hoping we can follow up on during Tuesdays meeting. Specifically, it would be helpful in our planning if BOEM can provide guidance on the following steps in the environmental process: • Will the lead agency be BOEM or the Corps, and what will the different agency responsibilities include? • If BOEM has had a chance to review the 2005 EA prepared for the last Collier project, can they comment on what new /additional information might be required? (we did download the studies Colleen sent us) • How will Section 7 Consultation with NMFS work? It looks like NMFS applied the Gulf of Mexico Regional BO to the last project (will a BA be required, and if so, will it only cover dredging activity ?) Can the GOM BO and the new Programmatic BO be the basis for the new lease? Thanks Please use my new E -mail address and direct phone number. 6'7'AWM 9(f" , P.E.

In FY 2011/12 $600,000 was approved but not spent leaving a remaining balance of $490,000. See attached engineering cost breakdown. ➢ Engineering for Marco Island Renourish/Erosion Control Structure Rebuild - $100,000: The estimated costs for the design, permitting and pre - construction activities is $300,000. In FY 11/12 $200,000 was approved with $89,000 committed for the permitting of the beach renourishment. The remaining balance that is being requested is $100,000 ➢ Construction for Marco Island Renourishment and Erosion Control Structure Rebuild - $3,000,000: Beach Renourishment including system modeling to determine the optimum sand placement quantities to maximize the renourishment cycle. Modeling determined that 104,000 CY's will optimize the fill template to resist future erosion. 77,000 CY's is authorized under FEMA's disaster order. A new FDEP permit will be required. The existing USACE permit is good till 2021. However, the existing Biological Opinion does not authorize renourishment during turtle nesting season. The component of the project is expected to cost $1,800,000. Approximately $1,000,000 will be reimbursed from Tropical Storm Fay. The PW extension is granted till June 30, 2013. Refurbishment of existing erosion control structures is required. There are three breakwaters and two groins at the end of Marco Island to control erosion. Little to no maintenance has occurred over the years and these structures need to be rebuilt to the original design to perform as intended. This will require authorizations from the FDEP and USACE to restore the structures to their CAC May 11, 2012 VIII -3 New Business 3 of 46 original design and function. Permitting is expected to take 6 to 8 months and this work is expected to cost $1,200,000 ➢ Laser Grading North Marco Beach - $35,000: Laser grade the beach from the south end of Sand Dollar Island in the vicinity of R135 south to approximately R143. ➢ Hideaway Beach Emergency Control Structures — $925,000: The Hideaway Beach District in conjunction with the City of Marco Island will seek emergency funding to provide three emergency erosion control structures in the vicinity of the 6,000 building on Hideaway Beach. Beach Maintenance - $341,420: Exceptional beach experience for our residents and visitors has been at the heart of our success in the past. These items are required to maintain that experience. Approval is recommended. Administration - $704,891: This item funds County staff to manage the projects, maintain the beaches, administer the program. It includes the Director; an Office Manager /Accountant; a Field Supervisor /Project Manager; and two equipment operators to clean and maintain the County and Marco Beaches ($487,791). It also includes Administrative Indirect Fees required for administrative functions like purchasing, information technology, motor pool and human resources ($107,700). Charges for the Tax Collector are also included ($109,700). Approval is recommended. ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff is recommending approval of this item. FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Year 2011/12 proposed Beach Renourishment Fund 195 budget appropriates funding for these grant applications. The source of funds is Category "A" Tourist Development Tax dollars. The Hideaway Beach District along with the City of Marco Island is recommending that the $925,000 grant request to install the three emergency erosion control structures in the vicinity of the 6000 building on Hideaway Beach will be funded from Emergency Reserves that are accrued on an annual basis of $500,000 per year. This would reduce the emergency reserves accrual total in FY 12/13 to $4,575,000 after the $500,000 annual accrual was made for FY2012/13. Funding for these Grants would be as follows: • Fund 195 Emergency Reserves - $925,000 • Fund 195 Beaches and Inlets - $6,746,311 • Total 195 Fund - $7,671,311 GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to this action. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office, requires majority vote, and is legally sufficient for Board action. — RECOMMENDATION: To recommend approval of the attached Tourist Development Category "A" Grant Applications for FY- 2012/2013 in the amount of $7,671.311 and authorize Chairman to sign grant agreements after County Attorney's approval. PREPARED BY: J. Gary McAlpin, P.E., Director, Coastal Zone Management Department CAC May 11, 2012 VIII -3 New Business 4 of 46 (Revised) TOURIST DEVELOPMENT CATEGORY "A" FUNDING POLICY Use of TDC Catekry A Fund: To finance beach park facilities of beach improvement, maintenance, renourishment, restoration and erosion control, including pass and inlet maintenance, shoreline protection, enhancement, cleanup or restoration of inland lakes and rivers to which there is public access, as these relate to the physical preservation of the beach, shoreline or inland lake or rive. (Cod or Ordnance, Division 3. Sec. 126 -83.) 2. Source of other funds: Federal or State funds are desirable and should be diligently pursued. 3. Mandatory annual budget allocation of funds and maintenance of reserves. a. Catastrophe reserves shall be accumulated in the budget with $1M in 2004 plus $0.5M per year thereafter (up to a maximum of $10M). In the event of a catastrophe requiring the expenditure of all or part of these reserves, $0.5M will continue to be set aside. b. Major renourishment reserves shall be accumulated in the budget with $2M per year after the completion of the major renourishment project currently in planning and permitting (as a November 2003; projected to start setting aside funds in FY 2006). c. Beach park facilities (including beach access property acquisition) shall be funded at an average of $2M per year. This funding allocation shall be adjusted annually in an amount equal to one -third of the TDC Category "A" revenues. d. Remaining funds may be used for eligible grant applications as outlined in the policy below. 4. Eligibility: Eligible beach areas qualify for Category "A" funding. An "eligible beach area" is: a. Accessible to the public; and b. No more than one -half mile from a beach park facility, public access point, hotel or motel and if at least 80% of the entire beach area is classified as eligible, otherwise ineligible gaps will be deemed eligible. 5. Ineligible beach areas: a. Beach areas not meeting the criteria for eligibility of paragraph 4. above, are not eligible for Category "A" funding. Renourishment or maintenance of these beach areas are the responsibility of adjacent property owners and must be privately funded. b. An area of an ineligible beach that is subject to high erosion, with the recommendation of the Coastal Advisory Committee and determination by the Board CAC May 11, 2012 VIII -3 New Business 5 of 46 of County Commissioners as being in the public interest, may have erosion control structures installed, with Category "A" funding. 6. Inlet Sand Bypassing. The bypassing of sand across inlets may be funded by Tourist Development Tax Category "A" funding provided the Inlet Management Plan recommends the bypassing, the dredging of the pass or inlet is recommended by the Coastal Advisory Committee meets the inlet funding policy criteria and is approved by the Board of County Commissioners as being in the in the public interest. No TDC Category "A" funding will be approved for dredging non -beach compatible material except in situations where significant channel alignment and depth changes are required to correct and deviate from routine maintenance dredging past practices. 7. Shore protection structures and project sponsorship. Projects, including construction and maintenance of shore protection structures (groins, jetties, breakwaters, etc.), may be funded by Category "A" funding for eligible beaches. However, `ownership' responsibilities must rest with an entity other than "Tourist Development Taxes" — i.e. there must be a project sponsor (private interest, taxing districts, municipalities or County Departments other than those funded with Tourist Development Taxes). Grant Application Review. The Coastal Advisory Committee and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will prepare and maintain a proposed prioritized annual spending plan for the use of Tourist Development Tax Category "A" funds, with a ten year projection. The proposed plans will be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for their consideration and approval, via the TDC. These submissions will coincide with the annual Collier county budget cycle. The Coastal Advisory Committee will review all requests for Tourist Development Tax Category "A" funds, with the exception of County maintained beach park facilities that will be handled by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Both advisory boards will make recommendation for approval, denial or modification to the BCC, via the TDC, consistent with the BCC established policy for use of these funds. Evaluation /Approval Guidelines for TDC Category A Yearly Grant Requests by the Coastal Advisory Committee Yearly grant requests to the Coastal Advisory Committee will be evaluated, prioritized and funded based on the following criteria. Grants associated with the completion of a previously approved project that are required to complete that project. CAC May 11, 2012 VIII -3 New Business 6 of 46 2. Grants required to meet Permit Regulatory Compliance. Examples of these grants would be Physical and Biological monitoring, turtle monitoring, shorebird monitoring and tilling. Safety related activities and projects, which are the responsibility of the CAC. 4. Commitments covered by inter -local agreement and /or projects previously approved /identified in the 10 year plan. Examples would be the dredging of Clam, Wiggins, Doctors, Caxambas and Capri Passes and the 10 -year cycle of beach re- nourishment. 5. Projects or studies that improve or have a high probability of improving our beach efficiency, the preservation of CAC capital or save us money. These projects would have to have a undisputed payout. Items that would fall into this category would be engineering or studies that could lengthen times between dredge events or re- nourishments. 6. Grants associated with the maintenance and upkeep of our beaches. Examples of these activities that preserve the quality of the beach experience are beach cleaning, raking and grading. 7. Projects that outside funding or third party funding can be obtained on that offset the capital cost. Examples would be FDEP funding, FEMA funding or third party grants. 8. Necessary or required projects would be next. Examples of this type of projects would be Doctors Pass Rip -Rap replacement. 9. New projects not required by law or consent decree would follow.

Details of Project- Description and Location: CAC May 11, 2012 V111-3 New Business 27 of 46 Description: The City of Marco Island's northern beach area has been experiencing significant erosion in the wake of recent storms including Tropical Storm Fay and coastal processes (winds, waves, tides and currents). Please refer to Exhibit A for recent photographs. Since 2005, this beach segment has eroded on average 12 feet per year (Figure 1). The upland development and infrastructure are threatened by the continuing erosion. Based on these measured near-term erosion rates, it is expected the building foundations will soon be under direct wave attack as the remaining dune and wetland habitats and upland vegetated lawn areas will be lost to erosion. To address this critical erosion area, the City has completed a detailed model study and preliminary design, and is currently processing permits through the 1 DEP and USACE for installation of three erosion control structures (T- groins} CAC May 11, 2012 V111-3 New Business 28 of 46 Collier County Tourist Development Council Category "A" Grant Application Page 2 Big Marco / Capri Pass Inlet Sand Bypassing and Northern Marco Island Erosion Control Structures and placement of up to 25.000 cubic yards of beach compatible sand from inlet bypassing sources. The purpose of the renourishment and erosion control structures is to address significant erosion along this beach segment providing a mechanism to offset historical erosion, restore recreational beach, provide storm protection to the upland properties, provide and preserve sea turtle nesting sites, and restore coastal habitat for other threatened and endangered species. The sand sources for the renourishment include the previously utilized Big Marco / Capri Pass Ebb Shoat and Nearshore Borrow Areas. The public benefit realized by the Project is to extend the project life of the recently completed Collier Bay Entrance Channel Dredging which temporarily addressed the navigation needs for the boating community, Installation of the structures is expected to hold the sand placed in the nearshore zone along this critically eroded beach segment, thereby reducing Project related costs as well as future maintenance costs. FDEP indicated support of the City's recommended plan and has requested a Physical and Biological Monitoring Plan. The USACE completed its permit review and has initiated consultation with the USFWS and NMFS. Permits are expected by the end of the year. As established by prior precedent in 2004 and 2010 County Commission approvals, the City of Marco Island will be responsible for the cost of the sand dredging and placement, and the County will be responsible for cost of the T- 5. 6. 7. 8.

The principal products will be a design, modeling report, plans and specifications of the selected alternative, a comprehensive permit modification application, preparation of environmental documents and monitoring plans, and other technical products. This scope of work divides the tasks into 2 phases: Phase I- Permitting and Design and Phase If- Pre-Construction and Contingent Tasks. Phase I tasks will begin immediately upon approval of the work by the County. Phase 11 tasks will start upon individual notice to proceed from the County. Contingent Tasks include those tasks that are not anticipated at this time, but may be required during the permit process. During-construction tasks are not included in the Scope of Work. During initial implementation of this work, the top priority will be to prepare documents in support of the beach renourishment project minor permit modification request and documents needed to assist BOEM with coordination needed to obtain a lease for Borrow Area T1. An updated Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan, which will cover not only the beach project, but also Doctors Pass and Wiggins Pass, will be, submitted with the beach renourishment project minor perrnit modification request. Submittal of the updated Plan will initiate coordination with FDEP to develop the, final monitoring plan. This FDEP coordination may play a significant role in the final design of the beach prcject. The permit modification for the Collier County Beach Renourishment Project will request a second nourishment project to occur under the current active FDEP permit. The modification will also request the construction window be extended to September 15 — May 30, which will allow for flexibility during the construction and bidding phases. Obtaining these permit modifications would enable an early bidding period before the expiration of the existing permits. A Biological Assessment (13A) and supplemental Environmental Assessment (EA) will also be completed to support initiation of the BOEM lease process, per coordination in an April 24. 2012 telephone conference with BOEM. Preparation of these documents will support a pre-application meeting and coordination with the permit agencies. Based on this coordination, final design, modeling and permitting will move forward.

Pre-Application Meeting/Coordination with FDEP, USACE, and BOEM State and federal permit modifications and approvals will be required to modify Collier County's beach renourishment program. This task will cover meeting with the agencies prior to submitting the permit modification package in order to inform all parties of the project's intent which will aid in expediting the renourishment project. Pre-application coordination with the FDEP will be required in order to expand the construction template. This coordination should be done as soon as possible to negotiate an agreement on the 2013-2014 Renourishment Project. This phase of the project will include discussion with FDEP regarding the updated Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan. 267 2 7S- b. Submit Minor Permit Modification Requests In order to prepare for the major permit modification request, two permit modifications will be submitted to the FDEP and USACE. The permit modifications will be for the Collier County Nourishment Project (JCP Permit No. 0222355-001- JQ and the Doctors Pass Maintenance Dredging Project (JCP Permit No. 0235740- 00 1 -J C). 2-10 L Doctors Pass Permit Modification Request A permit modification for the Doctors Pass Maintenance Dredging project will be requested in order to modify the current Doctors Pass disposal area. The disposal area for Doctors Pass maintenance dredging events will be returned to the area immediately south of the pass, using the permitted beach template from the 2005 beach nourishment permit. Bypassing the dredged sand closer to the Pass will help to lengthen the design life of the rill in this area and mitigate directly the hot spot in this region, with the aid of other coastal protection methods. One RAI cycle is expected and included with this task. CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 6 of 31 ?r1161 065- ii. Beach Renourishment Permit Modification Request with Updated Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan The pen-nit modification for the Collier County Nourishment Project will request a second nourishment project to occur under the current active FDEP permit. The modification will also request construction from September 1-5 — May 30 (during a portion of sea turtle nesting season), which will allow for flexibility during the construction and bidding phases. Agency coordination will be provided in order to expedite the permitting process. One RAI cycle is included with this task. Biologists will prepare an updated Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan based on a review of the monitoring methods and results from hardbottom monitoring associated with the 2006 Collier County Beach Renourishment Project. An updated Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan, which will cover not only the beach project, but also Doctors Pass and Wiggins Pass, will be developed using the current proposed design for the upcoming 2013-14 Collier County Beach Renourishment Project (including estimated Equilibrium Toe of Fill). The design will avoid direct impacts to hardbottom from rill placement and indirect impacts from offshore and downdrift spreading. The Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan will be designed to detect potential impacts to nearshore hardbottom habitat that could result from the 2013-14 renourishment project. In an effort to maintain continuity with the monitoring conducted for the 2006 project, the Plan will incorporate similar methodologies used in previous monitoring. However, we might recommend that FDEP consider a modification to these methods if it seems warranted in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the monitoring program. CPE biologists will assist Collier County with FDEP coordination throughout the development of the Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan. The Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan will be submitted to FDEP BRCS with the permit modification request for review and approval. 3. INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH PHASE a. Prepare 2010 Lidar Bathy metric Map LiDAR data for the offshore and upland areas will be gathered from National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE), and other sources. The data will be processed using CPE's in- house programs and expertise that will create representations of the offshore bathynnetry and beach topography, including the hardbottom, for Collier County in the form of a bare earth digital elevation model (DEM). The LiDAR-derived DEMs will guide our decisions on how to design this specific project. The recent 2010 CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 7 of 31 LiDAR will be used. It will be supplemented with past LiDAR and bathymetric surveys as needed. CPE will use custom filters to accurately remove vegetation and infrastructure while preserving the complex geomorphology found in coastal environments. The bathymetric and topographic elevations will be compared to recent beach profile surveys and adjusted where appropriate. The area of coverage will extend approximately from the dunes and offshore tc approximately -20 foot depth contour based on the 2004 LiDAR data extents. The DEM will extend from FDEP Monument R-9 south to Gordon's Pass. The bathymetric and topographic map will show pertinent infrastructure, FDEP R- monuments, the location of the existing outfalls and the edge of the nearshore hardbottom from recent side scan sonar and diver survey of the bottom. The map will be used as the basis for design and monitoring. 0/ b. Pipeline Corridors and Operational Areas Investigations Two new pipeline corridors and two operational areas will be planned in areas containing unconsolidated sediment, avoiding impacts to hardbottom habitat and artificial reefs. The investigation may include a cultural resources survey and report as a precaution to a Division of Historic Resources (DHR) new initiative, The DHR is currently considering a proposal that would require a cultural resources survey for all pipeline corridors in addition to mapping the natural resources. This portion of the pipeline corridor survey is covered in the contingency portion of this contact. Coordination with DHR will occur to determine if it is required. �*2 7,, �6 '-? i. Sidescan Survey CPE will review existing data in order to plan potential pipeline corridor and operational area locations, to be compatible to the maximum extent practical with previous surveys. These areas will then be investigated further with a sidescan sonar survey. This task includes a two (2) day sidescan survey of two (2) pipeline corridors at Barefoot Beach and Clam Pass Park and two (2) operational/dredge work areas. The survey control and accuracy standards will be consistent with FDEP specifications. A report from the surveyor will be submitted certifying that the survey meets Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems (BBCS) Technical Standards established in Part [LA of section 01200 in the BBCS 116nitoring Standards far Beach Erosion Control Projects, March 2004 and minimum technical standards of Chapter 61617-6, Florida Administrative Code. 4 CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 8 of 31 Sidescan Survey Equipment: Navigation System. A Trimble Real Time Kinematic Global Positioning (RTK CPS) system with dual frequency receivers will be used on board the survey vessel to provide navigation and tide corrections. In order to maintain the vessel navigation along the profile lines the Hypack Inc.'s hydrographic system Hypack 20129 will be used. This software merges RTK GPS vertical and horizontal positioning with the sounding data. It also provides navigation to the helm to control the deviation from the online azimuth, Sidescan Sonar Survey. An EdgeTech 4200-HFL sidescan sonar system (or equivalent) will be used to collect sidescan sonar data over the entire area of investigation. The 4200-HFL uses full- spectrum chirp technology to deliver wide-band, high-energy pulses coupled with high resolution and high signal to noise ratio echo data. The portable sidescan package includes a laptop computer running the Discover* acquisition software and a 3001600 kHz dual frequency towfish running in high definition mode. The sidescan sonar can be used to identify hardbottom habitat based on its reflective signature. Sidescan Data Analysis: The EdgeTech Discover data acquisition system collects and stores geophysical survey data in a digital format. EdgeTechs Discover is a modular acquisition and processing software package that is compatible with all of EdgeTech*s systems. Hardcopy records will be produced during data acquisition. The digital sidescan data will be merged with positioning data (RTK GPS via HYPACK 2012(t,) will be recorded to the acquisition computer's hard disk for post processing and/or replay. The position of the sensor relative to the RTK GPS antenna will be documented to enable proper positioning of the data. Sidescan sonar will be processed using the SonarWiz.MAP software package developed by Chesapeake Technologies Inc (or equal). SonarWiz. MAP also produces digital geographic information for sidescan data that are exportable for incorporation into a GIS database, All sidescan sonar, and bathymetric data will be processed and interpreted by CPE personnel. 15�16 ii. Diver Investigation Following the analysis of the sidescan data, diver verified groundtruthing will be conducted to investigate features mapped by the sidescan sonar CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 9 of 31 investigation that may be habitat or natural resources. CPE divers will conduct investigations by diving on the edge of the hardbottom or patches while towing a buoy equipped with a DGPS antenna and attached by a cable to a Trimble AgGPS system on the survey vessel. The positioning data will be recorded. Based on the diver hardbottom investigations within the corridors and operational areas, the sidescan data reduction will be finalized and the location of the pipeline corridors and operational areas will be determined. Results from the diver investigations will be added to the GIS database and CARD files. This survey will be combined with the northern hardbottom investigations described below. The entire survey is expected to require three (3) to four (4) field days. -4 3 q1 OZ -�-- c. Northern Hardbottom Investigations The area north of Wiggins Pass will be investigated in order to map and characterize existing hardbottom resources. A sidescan sonar survey will be conducted north of the Pass (from R-9 to R -17, to a distance of 1.000 feet offshore). Sidescan sonar data will be used to verify the unconsolidated sediment surface and to map ocean bottom features such as hardbottorn habitat. Hardbottom features will be classified as high or low relief, isolated rock outcrops or by equivalent descriptor for use in mapping the hardbottom edges. If the sidescan survey documents areas of suspected hardbottom, biologists will map the extent of each liardbottom formation and collect baseline benthic data on these resources. Data obtained during these studies will be used to delineate those hardbottom resources which may have the potential to be impacted by the 2013-14 Beach Nourishment Project. If any impacts are anticipated, these data will serve as the basis for monitoring and mitigation plan development. .4> 32J' i. Sidescan Survey The sidescan sonar survey will be conducted using the equipment and methods described in Task 3b. It is anticipated that the sidescan sonar survey will be conducted over the course of one (1) day, following the corridor and operational areas survey. J- 41-23, �--06 ii. Diver Investigations CPE divers will map the resources by following the edge of the hardbottom while towing a buoy equipped with a DGPS antenna and attached by a cable to a Trimble AgGPS system on the survey vessel. The positioning data will be recorded. Based on the diver hardbottom investigations, the sidescan data reduction will be finalized. After mapping existing hardbottom resources, CPE divers will Conduct a benthic characterization. The number of transects and quadrats to be CAC May 11, 2012 VIII-5 New Business 10 of 31 assessed will be coordinated with FDEP and will be determined based on the amount of hardbottom documented during mapping investigations. Data collection along monitoring transects will likely include: line- intercept and point-intercept for sediment, benthic characterization, and video and photographic documentation. Diver investigations (mapping and benthic characterization) will be combined with the groundtruthing survey of the pipeline corridors and operational areas described above. The entire survey is expected to require three (3) to four (4) field days. This task also includes data entry and preparation of an observation report for FDEP summarizing the survey methods and results, * 't,5-0 d. Beach Sample Collection and Analysis Beach samples will be collected from five (5) beaches including Barefoot Beach, Vanderbilt Beach, Clam Pass Park, Park Shore and Naples Beach. Three (3) samples will be collected from the dry beach at each location. Prior to sample collection, CPE will conduct a search to identify whether or not samples were previously collected from these beaches since the 2006 nourishment project. The sample locations will coincide with the site of previous samplings and will be used to support design of the new beach. The sample collections will occur with other survey task. Table 1.

Update Design Volume and Fill Distribution y Using the recommendations from the conceptual design report and guidance from the County, the design Volume and fill distribution will be updated based upon the 2012 survey performed by Atkins, Inc. for the County. The design will address the concerns and suggestions listed in the FDEP memorandum dated December 2, 2011. The design volume will account for current and historic volumetric and MHW change rates. The renourishment interval will be increased, if possible, while avoiding impacts to natural resources. The design will propose a higher and wider beach with an extended project life that can be accomplished with no impact to nearshore hardbottom. b. Develop Equilibrium Profiles Using the design volume from Task 5a, the design equilibrium profile will be developed using the Equilibrium Profile Method (FPM) at each profile line and intermediate profile line. The corresponding equilibrium toe of fill will be located at each profile. For the new project areas at Clam Pass Park and Barefoot Beach, the equilibrium profile will be determined through the use of their respective grain size. The design profile will be based on an analysis of monitoring surveys taken from 2006 to 2012. CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 12 of 31 . I f/()V c. Plot Seaward Limit of Fill and Perform Impact Analysis The equilibrium toe of fill will be prqjected onto Lidar bathymetry. This phase will account for the initial equilibration of the profile and spreading. Spreading will be derived from the Unibest model (Deltares). The design template will be modified within this phase with the goal of avoiding direct impacts to hardbottom. A buffer distance will be established between the equilibrium toe of fill and hardbottom. M(, 210 d. Finalize Beach Fill Design Template This final design will be developed through an iterative process which accounts for the equilibrium toe Of fill locations, spreading, and location of the beach rill in comparison to the hardbottom. A recommendation will be made for structural modifications within the final design, which will either remove or modify the existing northern groins in the Naples and Park Shore Reaches. 5-6 2 e. Modeling Modeling which was initiated during the conceptual report preparation will be finalized with this task. The modeling will assist with the design method described above. Z7 002- i. Model Final Beach Design Using Unibest The performance of the beach Fill design(s) to be permitted will be simulated in the Unibest model. The No Action scenario will also be simulated using Unibest model as a contrast. This scenario will be updated to incorporate the most recent beach surveys. The Unibest model will use a wave climate developed based on Collier County Concelitual Renourishment Project Analysis - Atumerical Modeling (CPE. 2011), however, the definition of the wave climate will be updated in order to include the seasonality in the simulations (Southwest and Northwest wave dominance) and some sensitivity analysis. The performance of each scenario will be evaluated along the three different sectors of the beach and for the nourishment time interval of 10 years. The Park Shore reach will be run with and without northern Park Shore, The model results will be presented in a report which details the modeling effort and addresses FDEP comments on the 2011 Concelmial Renow-ishment Project An from their December 2. 2011 memorandum. M CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 13 of 31 #X31000 ii. Model Final Beach and Ebb Shoal Design Using Delft3D at Barefoot Beach Barefoot Beach will be nourished as part of the 2013-14 re-nourishment project using approximately 100.000 cy of sand from Borrow Area TI. A portion of the sand will be placed on the beach., with the remainder placed in the ebb shoal. The Delft3l) modeling suite will be used to evaluate the performance of up to 4 beach fill and ebb shoal disposal alternatives for Barefoot Beach, These simulations will use the model setup developed and calibrated for Wiggins Pass in 2009 and 2010. The simulations will be conducted to evaluate the medium -term (4 years) performance of each alternative. The model will consider the wave climate and the tidal flows through Wiggins Pass to account for the morphology evolution of the different scenarios. The benefits"impacts associated to each alternative will be evaluated along the adjacent beaches and in the navigation channel. The results of the numerical modeling will be incorporated into the engineering report and permit modification request. The Barefoot Beach nourishment will complement the Wiggins Pass inlet management strategy. 6. FINALIZE ENGINEERING REPORT The design method described above will be document in an engineering report for use in permitting and coordination. The basis of the wider and higher beach design which avoids hardbottom habitat impacts and provides a 10 year design life will be described and documented. *ZL-7 f8 2,. 7. OBTAIN BOEM LEASE FOR BORROW AREA TI 7/ -0 a. Prepare Supplemental Environmental Assessment (EA) It is necessary to obtain a lease from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for use of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) sand from Borrow Area T 1, which is located within the federal waters of the United States. As a prerequisite for this lease, BOEM requires that the 2.005 Environmental Assessment (EA) be updated in order to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NI -PA). NEPA requires federal agencies to consider environmental impacts during their decision making process for major federal actions, such as borrow area development of a federal mineral resource. An EA is a public document that provides supporting reasons and analyses for determining whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI). If necessary, it also considers and selects measures for mitigating identified adverse environmental impacts. An EA was prepared in coordination with BOEM (formerly Minerals Management Service) and submitted in 2005 in preparation for the 2006 Collier County Beach Renourishment Project. Based on discussions with BOEM during two conference H CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 14 of 31 calls (November 1, 2011 and April 24, 2012), BOEM has determined that a "supplemental" EA (an updated version of the 2005 EA) is required to meet NEPA requirements. Based on their review the 2005 Collier County EA. BOEM will provide specific guidance on which information will need to be updated for the next project and how the updated EA should be formatted. CPE will develop a Draft Supplemental EA in coordination with BOEM. Following review by BOEM and receipt of comments, a Final Supplemental EA will be developed and submitted. Once the EA has been reviewed and BOEM signs the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), the lease agreement for use of Borrow Area TI can be processed, b. Assist with Processing BOEM Lease During processing of the BOEM lease agreement, CPE will provide assistance to the County in answering questions', providing additional documentation to BOEM and reviewing the final BOEM lease stipulations for accuracy. 3 9Y 8. PREPARE AND SUBMIT MAJOR PERMIT MODIFICATION REQUEST a. Prepare Biological Assessment (BA) CPE biologists will prepare a Biological Assessment (BA) to assist BOEM and USACE with Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 Consultation with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The purpose of the BA is to evaluate the project and potential effects to federally listed (threatened and endangered) species and critical habitat. BOEM will be required to coordinate with NMFS Protected Resources Division (PRD) for potential impacts from dredging of Borrow Area TI, which is located in federal waters. In order to initiate Section 7 Consultation with NMFS, BOEM requires that a Biological Assessment (BA) be prepared to evaluate potential impacts to federally listed species. CPE will develop a Draft BA in coordination with BOEM. Following review by BOEM and receipt of comments, a Final BA will be developed integrating the BOEM's additional information and addressing their comments. BOEM will submit the Final BA to NMFS in order to obtain a NMFS Biological Opinion (130) allowing utilization of Borrow Area TI for the 2013-14 Collier County Beach Renourishment Prcject. CPE will request that the Gulf of Mexico Biological Opinion and the Programmatic Biological Opinion be used to the maximum extent possible. The Final BA will also be submitted to USACE to support any potential Section 7 Consultation that may be required with USFWS and/or NMFS in order to modify the existing USACE permit for the 2013-14 Collier County Beach Renourishment Project. It is anticipated that USACE will request that USFWS allow the 2013-14 CAC May 11, 2012 VIII-5 New Business 15 of 31 Collier County Beach Renourishment Project to use the Gulf of Mexico Biological Opinion and the Programmatic Biological Opinion. v10# b. Environmental Data CPE biologists will review and compile updated environmental data (e.g. sea turtle nesting data, shorebird nesting, hardbottom resources) that may be requested by FDEP and/or USACE. Results of hardbottorn biological monitoring data collected pre- and post-construction for the 2006 Collier County Beach Retiourishment Project will be summarized. Biologists will also provide additional information for the USACE which may be required for consultation with USFWS and NMFS, such as the Manatee Biological Evaluation (USFWS) and the Section 7 Consultation Checklist (NMFS). c. Develop Sediment QAIQC.Plan CPE will coordinate with the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems to develop an updated QA/QC sediment (borrow area) plan. d. Beach and Borrow Area Sediment Description A final report summarizing the results of the geophysical and geotechnical surveys will be developed. This report will include sub-bottom (seismic) survey profiles, beach sample granularmetric reports and grain size distribution curves. This report will be incorporated into the final engineering report. CPE will provide all geophysical information in an electronic format suitable for input to the 'DEP Reconnaissance Offshore Sand Search (ROSS) database. The submission will include shapefiles (with the associated FGDC compliant metadata) of seismic tracklines. Seismic data will be provided in HTML format. HTML formatting embeds all navigation data, making timestamps and shot points obsolete. e. Engineering Engineering tasks will be performed as needed in order to submit the permit modification package. Submittals may include, but are not limited to, project description, construction methods, and engineering report. C� f Prepare Permit Sketches Permit sketches will be developed using the finalized design developed in TASK 5. Permit sketches will include a plan-view design with corresponding beach profile cross-sections along with borrow area design. 12 CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 16 of 31 A?f -ZZ4 g. RAI Responses / 1— CPE will prepare responses to up to three (3) Requests for Additional Information (RAI) from FDEP and/or USAGE. We will attend meetings and/or participate in teleconferences with Agencies as needed. CPE will compile and resubmit pertinent 2005 permit files and documents in Support of permit modification requests to FDEP and USAGE. h. Finalize Hard bottom Biological Monitoring Plan If FDEP requests proposed modifications to the Hardbottorn Biological Monitoring Plan (which will be submitted to FDEP in the Pre-Application Coordination phase), or if Collier County proposes any modification to previous monitoring methodologies, CPE biologists will assist Collier County with FDEP coordination throughout the continued development of the Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan. It is anticipated that several meetings /teleconferences may be required during coordination with FDEP to complete a final Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan that meets with approval from both FDEP and Collier County. The proposed design of the 2013-14 Collier County Beach Renourishment Project is not anticipated to have any direct or indirect (equilibration or downdrift) impacts to nearshore hardbottom resources. Therefore, it is anticipated that no mitigation will be required. Based on a review of results from hardbottom monitoring associated with the 2006 Collier County Beach Renourishment Project, it appears there were no project- related impacts to the nearshore hardbottom resources; as a result, Collier County may request that FDEP credit the County for the 1.09 acres of mitigation they were required to build for that project. If data show that the area for which mitigation was required was not impacted by the 2006 project, then the artificial reef should be considered "excess mitigation", which may be credited towards any potential future mitigation requirements. i. Update Physical Monitoring Plan CPE will update the current physical monitoring plan to incorporate new portions of the project into the existing monitoring plan. �2g 9. PREPARE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS CPE will develop all construction plans and specifications for the project. The cost of constructing the renourishment project will be estimated. In addition, a cost comparison between alternatives will be displayed. A project schedule will be created to estimate project duration. 13 CAC May 11.umu w|1-5 New Business 17 of 31 The uoum1nuo%kzn plans will include pbmo views and sufficient for the construction of the beach nourishment project.

Re-apply for Critical Erosion Area Status for Clam Pass Park Based upon coordination with the FDEP, the Critical Erosion Area status for Clam Pass Park will be re-evaluated and re-submitted. A new calculations using refine surge levels and a profile extended landward will be developed to recalculate the surge due to the 25 return interval storm. This task is awaiting further clarification from FDEP. #142 gO b. Prepare Local Government Funding Request CPE will assist the County with preparation of this year's Local Government Funding Request for the county beach nourishment projects. The size and make-up of each component will be evaluated in order to increase FDEP rating and cost sharing opportunities. This will include research to identify all short term rental units in addition to hotels, and to modify the LGFR to incorporate the latest rating guidelines and the lessons learned for the April 27, 2012 meeting at FDEP. The plan will be based on the latest approved 62B-36 Beach guidelines. Recommendations will be made to the Count), for change to the funding request and the project that would increase eligibility and funding. �q, 1�� c. Assist County Staff with Local Government Joint Construction Coordination CPE will aid the County in coordinating with other regional projects in order to develop a cost savings opportunity for the County from a lower mobilization /demobilization and unit cost. CPE has already worked with the County and the dredging industry to identify potential cost savings. One method is to make the draft Plans and Specifications available early to the dredgers in order to enable cost savings for the County. ------PHASE If: PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND CONTINGENT TASKS 4*113,67? 11. BIDDING AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION PERIOD TASK a. Assist County with Bidding CPE will also assist in the bidding process by preparing pertinent bid documents and attending the pre-bid meeting. We will develop specifications and a construction plan which will encourage low bid prices. This includes provisions for a long and flexible construction timetable. CPE will attend the pre-bid meeting. The Engineer will assist the County in the selection of a contractor for the project. The County's purchasing department will manage the bidding process with assistance from the Engineer and Coastal Zone Management Department. The Engineer will 15 CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 19 of 31 assist the County in reviewing the bids and evaluation of the low bidder, taking into consideration the capability of the contractor (low bidder) in constructing the project. The Engineer will provide the County a recommendation concerning the selection of the contractor or contractors. There will be one pre-construction meeting for the project. CPE will coordinate, prepare for, and attend the pre-construction conference. During the pre-construction meeting, the permit will be reviewed with the Contractor prior to commencement of activity authorized by the permit. An overview of the project scope of work, construction methodology, technical specifications, schedule, construction access, specifications, and specific monitoring requirements for the permit will occur with the Contractor and all interested agencies. b. Pre-Construction Beach Survey and Aerials Beach and Nearshore Hydrographic Survey This section of scope is contingent upon the new Physical Monitoring Plan for this project that requires this work. This work shall be conducted in accordance to Section 01000 (Beach Profile Topographic Surveying) and 01100 (Offshore Profile Surveying) of the March 2004 Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects including field methodology and filial deliverables. dard. df Beach profiles will be collected at FDEP monuments R7-R84 including any applicable intermediate profile lines. All data seaward of the dune shall be collected using RTK CPS technology. Upland areas inaccessible to RTK CPS shall be collected using standard differential leveling techniques. Upland topography shall extend approximately 150 feet landward of the vegetation line or until an obstacle is encountered. The nearshore survey will be conducted using an Odom Hydrotrac sounder with digitizer fathometer on CPE's twenty-four (24) foot Privateer survey vessel with a centrally located hull-mounted transducer, A Trimble RTK GPS and a TSS Motion Compensator will be used onboard the survey vessel to provide instantaneous tide corrections as well as heave, pitch, and roll corrections. In order to maintain the vessel navigation along the profile lines, the HYPACK navigation software will be used. This software provides horizontal position to the sounding data allowing real- time review of the profile data in plan view or cross section format. HYPACK also provides navigation to the helm to control the deviation from the online azimuth. Horizontal and vertical positioning checks are conducted at the beginning and end of each day using 2"d order FDEP "A" monuments located in the project area. The sounder will be calibrated via bar-checks and a sound velocity probe at the beginning and end of the day. Bar-checks will be performed from a depth of five feet to a minimum depth of twenty-five feet. Analog data. showing the results of the bar-check calibration will be displayed on the sounder charts at five foot increments during descent and ascent of the bar. E CAC May 11, 2012 VIII-5 New Business 20 of 31 Controlled Aerial Photography Using FDEP Environmental Standards Color aerial photography shall be obtained for the Collier County Beach Project from R-7 through R-89. Surveyors shall coordinate ground control and CPS logging from HARN and/or CORS with the designated sub-contractor. A representative from Collier County will conduct the pre-flight sea condition monitoring and coordinate with the surveyor and the sub-contractor about the flight timing. Flight must occur during a 24 hour period of calm sea conditions, low tide levels, and low sun/water surface angle to ensure good water clarity. The flight window will be established by the sub-contractor. The sub-contractor shall provide 9"x 9" photographs and CD- ROM controlled raster imagery files. The photography will be collected following FDEP's standards for: Environmental Aerial Photography Acquisition for Beach Erosion Control Projects httg://www.del2.state.fl.tis/beaches,lpublications/pdf/standard.Ddf (section 02100: March 2004). c. Pre-Construction Sidescan Survey and Diver Groundtruthing This work is contingent upon the final FDEP-Approved Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan that requires new measurements to establish the pre-project condition. This task includes mapping and characterization of the hardbottom between FDEP Monument R-9 to R-80, or the southern terminus of the know nearshore hardbottom at approximately R-70. 11-2q %an Survey 'W7 i. Side. c Sidescan sonar data will be used to verify the unconsolidated sediment surface and to map ocean bottom features such as hardbottom habitat. Hardbottom features will be classified as high or low relief, isolated rock outcrops or by equivalent descriptor for use in mapping the hardbottom edges. Following initial reduction of the sidescan data, the sidescan data will be groundtruthed by divers to observe any features mapped during the sidescan sonar investigation, The sidescan data reduction will be finalized based on this field investigation. The sidescan sonar survey will be conducted using the equipment and methods described in Task 3b. CPE anticipates that the remote sensing survey can be conducted in t,,Ao (2) days, followed by a period of data reduction and comparative analysis. ff Aif 1, OU ii. Diver Groundtruthing After remote sensing data are analyzed, diver groundtruthing will be conducted at select sites where comparative analysis indicates significant 17 CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 21 of 31 change in the location of the hardbottom edge has occurred or there is uncertainty in the sidescan results. These dives will take place after the initial data reduction of the side scan result, and before the biological monitoring is conducted. CPE divers will conduct hardbottom investigations by following the edge of the hardbottom while towing a buoy equipped with a DGPS antenna and attached by a cable to a Trimble AgGPS system on the survey vessel. The positioning data will be recorded. The sidescan data reduction will be finalized based on the diver hardbottom investigations. Data obtained during these studies will be used to delineate those hardbottom resources which may have the potential to be impacted by the 2013-14 Beach Nourishment Project; if any impacts are anticipated, these data will serve as the basis for any mitigation plan development, if required. The GIS database will be updated. It is anticipated that two (2) days will be required to groundtruth the findings of the remote sensing survey. 4q2 ,,9-40 d. Pre-Construction Hardbottom Biological Monitoring If required by the final FDEP-Approved Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan, a pre-construction hardbottom biological monitoring survey will be conducted. This survey will follow the methodology contained in the final Plan, which is expected to be the same as, or similar to, the methodology used in previous monitoring required for the 2006 project. If the final Plan requires a pre-construction survey, then this survey will be conducted jointly utilizing two (2) CPE biologists and two (2) Collier County divers. The survey will take approximately nine (9) field days and will be completed using a County research vessel and captain. This pre-construction survey will likely follow the methodologies utilized in the previous monitoring plan (required for the 2006 project), though these methods may be modified during coordination with FDEP. This task includes data entry and preparation of an informal observation report; it is unlikely that FDEP will require a formal pre-construction report. If the final FDEP- Approved Hardbottom Biological Monitoring Plan does not require a pre- construction survey, Collier County may elect to conduct a modified survey that would utilize a reduced sampling effort in order to document pre-construction conditions of nearshore hardbottorn communities. 0 7 �Ii# 12. CONTINGENT TASKS a. Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment In addition to NEPA compliance and ESA Section 7 Consultation, BOEM (and possibly USAGE) will also be required to coordinate with NMFS — Habitat Conservation Division (HCD) to evaluate potential impacts to Essential Fish Habitat E CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 22 of 31 (EFH) in compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. NMFS did not have any EFH comments for the 2006 Collier County Beach Renourishment Project; therefore, preparation of an EFH Assessment is not anticipated. If NMFS-HCD requests an EFH Assessment be prepared for the 2013-14 project, that will be an additional task, 11 b. Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) During coordination with FDEP and USACE, the agencies may request additional data in order to conduct a Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) assessment, This task includes coordination with FDEP and/or USACE, providing data and assistance with conducting a UMAM assessment, but this task does not include any additional field investigations that might be requested by the agencies. c. Borrow Area TI Survey The survey of Borrow Area TI may be considered too old, and agencies may require a new survey. A bathymetric survey of Borrow Area TI will be conducted using the equipment and methods described in Task 3b. I., qqV d. Cultural Resources for Pipeline Corridors. The investigation may be required if a cultural resources survey is necessary under the Division of Historic Resources (DHR) new initiative. Coordination with DHR will be initiated prior to this additional field investigation to determine if this requirement can be eliminated or reduced. The extra survey will take two additional (2) days more than the basic sidescan survey described above. It will include subbottom profiling using the EdgeTech X-Star SB-216 -chirp sonar system ", a magnetometer survey, and a bathymetric survey. These methods are required for a full cultural resources investigation. This task will also include the addition data reduction and use of a qualified marine archeologist. Seismic Reflection Profile Surveys. An EdgeTech X-STAR 216 (or equivalent) seismic sub-bottom system will be used to conduct the seismic reflection profile surveys. The X-STAR SB-216 Full Spectrum Sonar is a versatile wideband FM sub- bottom profiler that collects digital normal incidence reflection data over a number of frequency ranges. This instrumentation generates cross-sectional images of the seabed. Throughout the offshore seismic reflection survey, selection of the chirp pulse will be modified in real time to obtain the acceptable resolution of geological features and the sequence stratigraphy (i.e. vertical sequence and lateral distribution of sediment bodies comprised by different grain sizes and sediment composition) for better data quality enhancing subsequent interpretation Magnetometer Survey. A Geometries G-882 Digital Cesium Marine Magnetometer (or equivalent) will be used to perform a cursory investigation of magnetic anomalies within the potential pipeline corridor. The purpose of the magnetometer survey is to 112 CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 23 of 31 establish the presence, and subsequent exclusion zones around any potential underwater wrecks, submerged hazards, or other ferrous metal features that would affect borrow area delineation and dredging activities. The Hypack 20129 software will record magnetic anomalies directly from the Geometrics magnetometer, Bathymetric Survey. The Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc.'s Hydrotrac, a single frequency portable hydrographic echo sounder, will be used to perform the bathymetric survey. The Hydrotrac will be operated at a frequency of 2 10 kHz and is a digital, survey-grade sounder. The sounder will be calibrated using an Odom Hydrographic Systems, Inc.'s Digital Prot/ speed-of-sound velocity meter. Speed of sound through water and other selected parameters will be adjusted to reflect physical water conditions in the survey area. Data Reduction and Report. Seismic reflection data will be processed using the SonarWiz.MAP software package developed by Chesapeake Technologies Inc (or equal) in conjunction with side scan and bathymetric data described above. After processing, the magnetometer data will be reviewed by a qualified archaeologist for cultural resource interpretation. CPE will coordinate with Tidewater Atlantic Research (TAR) to develop a cultural resource report for the two (2) pipeline corridors and the two (2) operational areas surveyed. CPE will coordinate with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) as needed. c. Survey and Process ECL (Barefoot Beach and Clam Pass Park) The decision to survey the new ECLs will be delay until the final budgetary decisions on these two areas are made. The decision must be made in time to allow timely processing before the project is started. ECL Survey and Processing This survey is designed to establish an Erosion Control Line as defined in Chapter 161 of the Florida Statutes. A mean high water (MHW) survey will be conducted in accordance with standards set by the Florida Department of State Lands. Surveys will be platted and submitted to the State for approval and recording. Prior to the start of the survey, a reconnaissance of the monuments will be conducted to confirm that the survey control is in place and undisturbed. Real Time Kinematics (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) will be used to locate and confirm the survey control for this project. In order to achieve required accuracy, the survey will be controlled using FDEP 2nd order monuments. Upon completion of the control reconnaissance survey, the mean high water survey will be initiated. The MHW survey will be conducted using MHW elevation values obtained from LABINS and/or other state approved MHW values. Upon competition of the field survey data will be plotted and derived MHW line drawn on the survey map. If possible, a draft version of the plat will be sent to State Lands for review. 20 CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 24 of 31 Survey deliverables will consist of four (4) 22"X34" survey maps signed and sealed by a Florida Surveyor and Mapper compliant with requirements Chapter 161 and other county recording standards. Maps and legal descriptions will also be provided in digital format. The maps will be developed so that they can be separable. Public Notification and Conduct ECL Meeting Once the survey has been approved by State Lands, a public meeting will be planned, following FDEP's procedures. Notification will be made in the local newspaper, in the State publication and by registered letter to residents/owners within the prescribed limits. The public meeting will be held to collect comments from the public for consideration by FDEP in evaluating the establishment of a new Erosion Control Line for Clam Pass Park and Barefoot Beach. �ft V 7-0 13. JETTY SPUR STRUCTURAL DESIGN (SEPARATE) The jetty spur at the Doctors Pass south jetty is a means to conserve sand in the hot spot region south of the Pass. It will be designed and permitted separately from the beach nourishment to avoid possible delays with permit agencies. il 7, F a. Survey New Structural Foundation Areas An area 300 ft by 400 ft will be surveyed for construction of the spur to the south jetty at Doctors Pass. This task includes the hydrographic survey in the area of the proposed rock jetty spur. This survey is intended to aid engineering calculations and has not been designed to meet any regulatory objectives. Data will be collected within 100 feet of the proposed construction at a sufficient density to provide an accurate depiction of the seafloor. Standard hydrographic procedures will be followed as described in section I Lb of this scope. A legal description for a state easement will be developed based on this Survey and the final design. This task also includes seafloor push probes to attempt to locate the depth of the hard substrate. Probes will be conducted by scuba divers using hand held probes. Diver probes are limited to 1-2 feet of penetration in sandy sediments. No jet probes or coring is proposed. b. Model Jetty Spur in Delft 3D Using the Delft3D hydrodynamic and sediment transport model developed in the 2011 Conceptual Renourishment Project Analysis, the effect of the Doctors Pass spur jetty extension on sand retention and conservation will be evaluated. In addition, circulation and debris trapping will be evaluated. Specifically, the model will be used to evaluate flows and sediment transport potential with and without the spur extension in place. Delft3D-PART model (particle tracking simulations, lagrangian approach) will also be used to evaluate whether the spur jetty extension will trap debris in an excessive manner. Up to 4 different configurations of the jetty extension will be 21 CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 25 of 31 considered to minimize debris trapping effects. The modeling procedures and results will be presented in a report. FDEP comments from their December 2, 2011 10� memorandum will be addressed. 3 r c. Develop Public Outreach Drawing CPE will prepare a drawing and project description for use by the County in public outreach for the jetty spur, addressing it size and impact on views. The document will address the spurs benefit, Gt d. Design Jetty Spur A design will be developed for the jetty spur. The design will take into account coastal processes and modeling results. The effectiveness of a turtle friendly design will be researched for possible incorporation into the spur. The design will develop the rock type and size, the foundation design, the positioning of the structures and integration with the existing jetty. The design will accommodate circulation to the extent practical, po e. Develop Permit Modification and Sketches Using the survey and preliminary design, CPE will prepare a JCP permit modification package for the FDEP for the structural addition to the southern jetty at Doctors Pass. Permit sketches, legal descriptions, and all other pertinent biological, geological, and engineering portions will be prepared as needed. This phase accounts for one (1) RAI cycle and is not a new permit application. i� 74X.�- " f. Diver Resource Investigations Divers will conduct a survey of the southern jetty to observe any submerged resources located in or near the proposed spur location. This survey will be planned in coordination with FDEP, NMFS, and USAGE to address agency requirements. This survey will take approximately one (1) field day. It will either be conducted jointly utilizing two (2) CPE biologists and a Collier County diver, boat and captain or this survey will be added on to another planned biological survey, whichever is more time- and cost-effective. This task includes data entry and preparation of an informal observation report, if any resources are observed. J' // / �q) g. Plans and Specifications CPE will prepare final construction plans, technical specifications and the bid form for the jetty spur project. The task will incorporate all permit requirements into the documents and will provide copies of the draft plans and technical specifications for the County's review. County comments will be incorporated into the 'final set. CPE will prepare an opinion of the estimated construction cost for this project. 22 CAC May 11, 2012 V111-5 New Business 26 of 31 p11 1 -, up 0 Jill 0 - tit 11 A&A J � f p if Ht 1 1i . .........

In order to achieve required accuracy, the survey shall be controlled using FDEP 2nd order monuments. All assessable 2nd and 3rd order FDEP control monuments in the project area shall be located using RTK GPS. CAC May 11, 2012 VIII -7 New Business 3of5 Topographic and Hydrographic profile surveys will be collected. All data seaward of the dune shall be collected using RTK GPS technology. Upland areas inaccessible to RTK GPS shall be collected using standard differential leveling techniques. Upland topography shall extend approximately 150 feet landward of the vegetation line or until an obstacle is encountered. An ACSM Certified Hydrographer shall oversee all hydrographic surveys for nearshore, offshore and inlet surveys. Hydrographic portions of the profile line shall be collected from a survey vessel equipped with RTK GPS technology and a dynamic motion sensor to provided instantaneous tide and motion corrections. Standard hydrographic procedures shall be followed including all necessary quality control checks. Horizontal and vertical positioning checks will be conducted at the beginning and end of each day using second order FDEP monuments located in the project area. The fathometer will be calibrated via bar - checks and a sound velocity probe at the beginning and end of each day. The DIGIBAR PRO sound velocity meter or equivalent which provides a fast additional calibration for sound velocity as compared to the traditional bar check shall be used. More specifically, bar checks will be performed from a depth of five feet to a maximum depth of twenty -five feet. Analog data showing the results of the bar check calibration will be displayed on the fathometer charts at five foot increments during descent and ascent of the bar. In order to maintain the vessel navigation along the profile lines HYPACK navigation software or equivalent shall be used. This software shall provided horizontal position to the sounding data allowing real -time review of the profile data in plan view or cross section format. The navigation software shall also provided navigation to the helm to control the deviation from the online azimuth. The landward limits of the hydrographic survey shall be based on a minimum of fifty feet beyond the seaward extent of the beach profile. Profiles shall extend seaward beyond the depth of closure, or 2,500 feet offshore, whichever is further. A Professional Surveyor and Mapper (PSM) shall sign and seal the required FDEP survey reports which shall included field survey notes, profile plots, GIS plan view maps, photographs in both directions along the beach and towards the dune also a close -up of the monument when found as well as all other required deliverables included in Section 0100 and 01100 of the FDEP Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion control Projects http : / /www.dep.state.fl.us /beaches /publications /pdf /standard.pdf. Two copies of the report along with a CD version will be provided to the County. Navigation Channel and Interior Inlet Hydrographic Survey Nearshore cross - sections will be surveyed as per the previous post - construction survey events. An ACSM Certified Hydrographer shall oversee the hydrographic survey. All work will be conducted in accordance to Section 01200 (Borrow Site, Shoal and Other Bathymetric Surveying) of the March 2004 Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects. Cross - sections will be collected from a survey vessel equipped with RTK GPS technology and a dynamic motion sensor to provided instantaneous tide and motion corrections. Standard hydrographic procedures shall be followed including all necessary quality control checks. Horizontal and vertical positioning checks will be conducted at the beginning and end of each day. The fathometer will be calibrated via bar - checks and a sound velocity probe at the beginning and end of each day. The DIGIBAR PRO sound velocity meter or equivalent which provides a fast additional calibration for sound velocity as compared CAC May 11, 2012 VIII -7 New Business 4of5 to the traditional bar check shall be used. More specifically, bar checks will be performed from a depth of five feet to a maximum depth of twenty -five feet or a depth representing the maximum potential depth of the survey area. Analog data showing the results of the bar check calibration will be displayed on the fathometer charts at five foot increments during descent and ascent of the bar. In order to maintain the vessel navigation along the profile lines HYPACK navigation software or equivalent shall be used. This software provided horizontal position to the sounding data allowing real -time review of the profile data in plan view or cross section format. The navigation software will also provided navigation to the helm to control the deviation from the online azimuth. Preparation of Post - Project Monitoring Reports ATKINS shall prepare the yearly monitoring reports in accordance with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems (BBCS) protocol for submittal to Collier County. Data collected for the monitoring of the project shall include beach profile surveys, and borrow area surveys. These data will be collected by Morgan & Eklund, Inc for the topographic & bathymetric survey information. The purpose of the monitoring reports is to summarize and discuss the data, the performance of the beach fill project, and identify erosion and accretion patterns within the monitored area. In addition, the report shall include a comparative review of adverse impacts attributable to the project(s). Based on the scope of work requested by Collier County, ATKINS will only address Range Monuments R -I1 through R -89, T -128, R -139 through R -148, 9 intermediate lines, 30 specified project lines, and 45 specified near -shore lines will also be sampled. ATKINS will review the data and use the information to create a database to identify and characterize trends and current conditions of these reaches of Collier County's coastline. The database will be created to enable visualization and completion of a comparative analysis. Specific quantities and parameters that will be analyzed, if data are available, include the following: • Shoreline and volume change rates • Beach profile evolution • Bathymetry changes within Doctor's Pass, Capri Pass and Caxambas Pass • Identifying and quantifying areas of acute erosion • Bathymetry changes across the borrow areas The above analyses will provide a qualitative understanding of the project and/or storm- induced topography and bathymetry changes to the beach and borrow area. All monitoring reports will include a transmittal referring to applicable FDEP permits, the permit condition requiring the report and the period in which the monitoring was conducted. The reports will be submitted as a bound printed report and on a disk in electronic .pdf format. ATKINS will prepare for, travel to and attend three (3) meetings. The meetings will be held to coordinate the project, meet with County staff, and to provide project updates to the County Project Manager and other stakeholder representatives as deemed necessary and appropriate. One ATKINS senior engineer will attend each of these meetings, again as deemed appropriate.
