LONG-TERM• Integrate cost efficiencies• Seek continued Federal participation
EFFECTIVE PROJECT APPROACH
15Proven Success for Broward County
• Reconstruct the Segment III Authorized Plan– Permitted and Constructed (2005-06)– Project performance exceeded expectations– Prior impacts mitigated– Known sand sources
• Preferable route: use the 2004 General Reevaluation Report (GRR)
• Alternatively, complete a Limited Reevaluation Report (LRR)– This was successfully accomplished with the Segment II project
• MUST AVOID costly and time-consuming Beach-fx study
DON’T REINVENT THE WHEEL
• Avoid additional hardbottom impacts and mitigation• Minimize time for Federal coordination, PPA, and Permits • Maximize cost-sharing opportunities
16Proven Success for Broward County
• Incorporate dunes as a local project action
– Dunes can be constructed with beach fill
– Seek supplemental funding sources• Presently, dunes will not qualify for Federal reimbursement• Seek expansion of PE Adaptation Action Area• FEMA reimbursement for storm impacts
– Stakeholder outreach and education is essential
LOW RISK PROJECT IMPROVEMENT
Increase Coastal Resiliency
17Proven Success for Broward County
Segment II (2016)
• Incorporate project efficiencies:– Sand bypassing from Port Everglades– High-frequency, small “hot-spot” beach fills– Coastal structures (Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park)– Strategic Retreat
• Seek a time extension to the existing Federal project authorization– Continued benefits from Federal funding and priority for State funding– This will require a more rigorous planning process
LONG-TERM: REDUCE COST
Maximize benefit of available financial and sand resources
18Proven Success for Broward County
• Largest Federal truck-haul project permitted and completed in Florida• Use and permitting of upland sand on a very large scale• Innovative direct and secondary impact predictions for hardbottom
• Cost-effective and ecologically appropriate mitigation and monitoring • Approval of adaptive monitoring approach for impact avoidance
Segment II (0.65 Mcy beach fill along 5.1 miles of shoreline)
Monitoring results to-date suggest that project related impacts are well within predicted and permitted conditions
PE Sand Bypass Project (FDEP Permit Issued in February 2017)
One of the most complex marine projects ever permitted in SE Florida
