(Please see back up pages 41-82) RECOMMEND: (This item is presented for Board review and discussion only.) Item 11. Bid Approval for Weir Replacement at Dredged Material Management Area BV- 52, Brevard County, FL. The District and Taylor Engineering have completed the design, engineering and permitting for weir replacement at Dredged Material Management Area (DMMA) BV-52, located in southern Brevard County. This constructed site is one of the District s primary DMMA s, serving Brevard Dredging Reach V. The site has also been successfully utilized by the St. Johns Water Management District and Brevard County for muck dredging. The existing weir at Dredged Material Management Area (DMMA) BV-52 was constructed out of coated corrugated metal in 1998 and has reached the end of its design life. In October 2015, the Board approved a lease agreement with Brevard County to utilize the DMMA for the Turkey Creek Muck Removal Project. During the project, the Brevard County dredging contractor experienced a weir failure, but was able to effect emergency repairs and continue the project. The District accepted sealed bids for this project on September 4, The bids results will be presented to the Board for consideration and approval. This project has been budgeted and if approved, should be completed within 6 months from the notice to proceed. (Please see back up page 83 and additional information to be distributed at the Board meeting) RECOMMEND: Approval of the apparent low bidder for weir replacement at DMMA BV-52, Brevard County, FL.

3 Meeting Agenda September 7, 2018 Page 3 Item 12. Scope of Construction Administration Services and Fee Quote for Weir Replacement, Dredged Material Management Area BV-52, Brevard County, FL In 2015, the Board approved a lease agreement with Brevard County to utilize DMMA BV-52 for the Turkey Creek Muck Removal Project. During this project, the existing weir failed necessitating emergency repairs and requiring a weir replacement at this site in the long-term. At the April 2017 meeting, the Board approved a scope and fee quote from Taylor Engineering to design, engineer and permit a new weir system based on a successful design utilized in more recent Dredged Material Management Area (DMMA) construction. In November 2017, the Board approved a lease extension with Brevard County to allow for additional dredging of Turkey Creek, thus delaying the construction of a new weir. The County has now successfully completed their project and the site is ready for the required weir retrofit. Taylor Engineering has provided a scope and fee quote for construction administration of this project. (Please see back up page 84-93) RECOMMEND: Approval of a scope and fee quote in the amount of $126, for construction administration and project closeout services for weir replacement at DMMA BV-52, Brevard County, FL. Item 13. City of St. Augustine Assistance Declared State of Emergency Project Extension Request. The City of St. Augustine has requested an additional 3-year extension for their assistance project agreement SJ-SA Riberia Pointe Kayak Launch - Phase I. The funding for the construction of this project has been impacted by Hurricane Mathew in October 2016 and Hurricane Irma in September By law and in accordance with the District program rule 66B-2.009(7), if the completion of a project is impacted by a declared state of emergency and the Board waives this rule section, the Board may grant an extension not exceed one additional three (3) year period.

5 Meeting Agenda September 7, 2018 Page 5 Item 17. Approval of an Agreement with AT&T for Abandoned Cable Removal for the Palm Beach Reach III South Maintenance Dredging Project, Palm Beach County, FL. On December 11, 2015 the Board approved a scope of work from Taylor Engineering to design, engineer and permit a necessary maintenance dredging project for Palm Beach Dredging Reach III South. During the due diligence for this project, an unpermitted, relic AT&T communications cable (#6) was discovered in the middle of the proposed project. After numerous delays, AT&T finally evaluated this cable and determined that it could be abandoned. Staff, the District s counsel and the District Engineer worked with AT&T remove this cable. Consistent delays and numerous discussions have led to an agreement that would reimburse the District s dredging contractor to physically remove the deauthorized cable. The recommended agreement has been executed by AT&T and will protect the District s from unanticipated liability. The dredging project is scheduled to be bid in the next few weeks and this agreement will need to be in place to allow this project to move forward. (Please see back up pages ) RECOMMEND Approval of an agreement with AT&T for abandoned cable removal and reimbursement, Palm Beach County Reach III South Maintenance Dredging Project, Palm Beach County, FL. Item 18. Approval of a New Easement Agreement with Palm Beach County to Update the Jupiter Beach Dredged Material Management Area (PB-JU), Palm Beach County, FL. Dredging of the Intracoastal Waterway in the vicinity of Jupiter Inlet occurs approximately every three (3) years. This is one of the highest shoaling rates within the District. The beach compatible material is placed on the down-drift beaches south of the inlet. Palm Beach County has generally authorized ten (10) year easements for the placement of material on the beach. Every third occurrence of the IWW maintenance dredging project creates the need for re-securing the easement, and the current easement has expired. The County is willing to consider a long-term easement in this area. It will be necessary to abandon the current easement language to approve a new easement. All required project permitting and due diligence will apply to future IWW maintenance projects. (Please see back up pages ) RECOMMEND Approval to terminate the existing temporary easement at DMMA PB-JU (Jupiter Beach) and establish a long-term easement for the purpose of disposal of beach-compatible material dredged from the Intracoastal Waterway, Palm Beach County, FL.

7 PALM BEACH COUNTY PROJECT STUATUS UPDATE 7 SEPTEMBER 2018 Dredged Material Management Plan Phase I of the Dredged Material Management Plan (DMMP) for the Intracoastal Waterway in Palm Beach County was completed in Phase II of the DMMP was completed in 1990 and all major land acquisition was completed in The 50-year dredging projection for the 43 miles of channel in Palm Beach County is 2.9 million cu/yds and the storage projection is approximately 5.5 million cu/yds. The majority of this dredging (76%) is associated with Jupiter Inlet. (Please see the attached location maps) Dredged Material Management Area Development Six upland Dredged Material Management Areas (DMMA) have been acquired and two beach placement areas have been secured to manage dredged materials from the Intracoastal Waterway (IWW) in Palm Beach County. DMMA s Peanut Island (PI) and MSA 641A (Delray Beach) have been constructed. Easements have been re-secured for beach placement of IWW material on the beach south of Jupiter Inlet (PB-JB) Waterway Dredging In 2013, the USACE completed a maintenance dredging project for Cuts P1 though P-4 on the Intracoastal Waterway in the vicinity of Jupiter Inlet. This 30,000 cu/yd project was funded though supplemental Operations & Maintenance funding via Hurricane Sandy relief. This area was previously dredged in 2009, and is regularly dredged approximately every 3 years. In 2016, the Navigation District partnered with the Jupiter Inlet District to complete a cooperative dredging project for both the IWW and the Inlet. This action saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in mobilization/demobilization costs and resulted in an overall decreased unit costs for the larger quantity of material dredged. Approximately 150,000 cu/yds was removed during this project and placed on the beaches south of the inlet, with over 100,000 cu/yds originating from the IWW. A small but navigation-limiting shoal in the vicinity of the Parker Bridge in Palm Beach Dredging Reach II (North Palm Beach) was removed in September of The dredged material (approximately 5,000 cu/yds) was placed on MSA 617C and hauled away by the contractor. In 2016, a portion of Palm Beach Reach III of the IWW north of the Port of Palm Beach was deepened from -10 MLW to 17 MLW. The contractor, Cavache, Inc. encountered significant rock in the dredge template but was able to complete dredging of over 100,000 cu/yds for a successful project. The preliminary engineering and permitting of the maintenance dredging of Reach III south of the Port of Palm Beach to the City of West Palm Beach was approved by the Board in December of This project is planned for construction in late 2018 and is strongly supported by the Marine Industries of Palm Beach County to support the future growth of the marine industry throughout the area.

26 Economic Benefits of the District Waterways 26 Within Palm Beach County, The Florida Inland Navigation District (District) is the state sponsor for Federal navigation projects along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the Okeechobee Waterway (collectively, the Waterways). Nearly $7 million has been invested in Palm Beach Waterways in the past 12 years, and another $12 million is anticipated in the next five years. These investments and the Waterways themselves generate significant economic impact throughout the twelve-county region and beyond. The District s Waterways are defined as all navigable waterways within the District s boundaries including the Intracoastal Waterway and all waterways that are physically connected to it. The continued investments and ongoing operations benefit the public, marine businesses and recreational users, the twelve member counties, and other government agencies. To estimate total benefits, a series of impacts were evaluated: 1. Direct spending by recreational boaters and their effects on local businesses and wage creation 2. Direct spending by tourists, both Floridians and out-of-state visitors 3. Proximity effects of the Waterways on real estate 4. Direct spending in hidden sectors which are generated by specialty service providers and not captured through recreational boaters or property impacts, and 5. Commercial Fishing. The indirect and induced economic impacts generated from each of the direct spending effects were estimated using IMPLAN, an econometric modelling application that generates regional economic impact multipliers. The estimates find that value added impacts exceed $576 million annually, and labor income impacts exceed $300 million annually. Table 1 provides a breakdown. In addition to annual impacts, property values enjoy an estimated $2.7 billion in premium due to the waterways. Impact Type Local recreational boaters Local registered boaters, non- Florida residents Floridian Tourists Out-of-state Tourists Specialized Sectors: Elite Yacht Services, Dredging Table 1. Estimated Economic Impacts of District Waterways in Palm Beach County Total Annual Impacts Employment Output (millions $) Labor Income (millions $) Value Added (millions $) 5,530 $594.5 $200.9 $ $17.6 $5.6 $ $32.7 $11.9 $21.6 1,966 $193.0 $73.1 $ $35.8 $16.5 $21.7 8,229 $873.7 $308.1 $576.7 The economic impact of The District's navigation projects in Palm Beach County has been estimated as of December Benefits of the District s ongoing maintenance programs, as well as two alternative scenarios, were prepared. Under the first maintenance scheme, reduced maintenance, the economic impacts of the District s investments are substantially smaller. Analysis finds that reducing the maintenance regime to a three foot draft would cost $466 million in total impacts annually. This compares to annual maintenance costs of less than $1 million annually. Under the second maintenance scheme, increased maintenance, improving the maintenance through full implementation of the District s Dredge Material Management Plan is estimated to result in an increase of about 14% in spending for the small but important number of very large boats. This category of boats generate more than $300,000 daily in local revenues, translating to a $25 million in higher annual impacts under the full maintenance scenario.

45 45 INTRODUCTION Since its formation in 1927, the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND or District) has served as the State local sponsor for the federal Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW) and a portion of the Okeechobee Waterway (OWW). Collectively known as the Waterway, the AIWW/ICWW channel extends 377-miles along Florida s east coast from the Florida-Georgia state line south to the Miami Harbor Project (MHP) in Miami-Dade County. The OWW channel extending from its intersection with the ICWW (on the east coast) to the Palm Beach/Hendry County line (in Lake Okeechobee) is not explicitly addressed in this report; however, it is included in FIND s overall responsibility for the Waterway. As the projects local sponsor, the FIND provides the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville District with sites suitable for placing material dredged from the authorized navigation channels. The federal government through the USACE is responsible for maintaining the navigation channels to their authorized dimensions. However, due to federal funding limitations, FIND has increasingly supplemented the USACE dredging budget or independently contracted its own dredging projects to maintain navigability. The Waterway does not compete well in the federal navigation budget process for the limited available federal funding for channel operation and maintenance. This is primarily due to the lack of commercial cargo transiting the Waterway and policy restrictions that prevent the USACE from considering recreational benefits in economic analyses. As a result, FIND spends approximately $20 million of its budget each year maintaining the federal navigation channel. These funds are normally split between supplementing the USACE budget for dredging and independently funding FIND-contracted dredging projects. To support its channel maintenance efforts, FIND contracted Taylor Engineering to investigate if a better, more efficient process may exist that will continue to accomplish the mission of keeping the Waterway open for both commercial and recreational navigation. This report provides an initial review of possibilities use of modified dredging technology, better planning of dredging projects, use of alternative contractual methods, and FIND dredge ownership that may improve Waterway dredging efficiencies. Chapter 2.0, Documentation, summarizes interviews with and documentation received from industry leaders within the dredging community. Information received during the documentation phase fed into the development of the remaining report chapters. Chapter 3.0, Dredge Fleet and Technology provides a breakdown of the international dredge fleet compared to the United States fleet and dredges strictly based in Florida. The chapter includes a discussion on upcoming technology in the dredging industry. Chapter 4.0, Florida East Coast Dredging and Management History tabulates the Waterway dredging history from the 1940 s and provides further insight into Florida s eastern navigation channel and port dredging patterns and history. This information will provide FIND potential opportunities to better plan and contract maintenance projects, as discussed in Chapter 5.0, Modification of Current Contracting and Dredging Procedures. Chapter 6.0, Conclusions and Recommendations summarizes the findings and provides recommendations for FIND s involvement with Waterway maintenance dredging. Finally, Chapter 7.0, References provides the sources for all cited materials. 1

46 46 DOCUMENTATION Taylor Engineering interviewed and obtained documentation from twenty-five leaders within the dredging community. Targeted interaction and information requests focusing on available and upcoming dredging technology, dredged material placement methods, and contracting methods included the professional associations, federal and state agencies, universities, dredging contractors, and manufacturers listed in Table 2.1. Attachment A provides a copy of the individual interview forms and, when applicable, supporting information supplied by the organization. Understandably, responses varied depending on each person s perspective and affiliation. The information received was, as applicable, incorporated into the remaining sections of the report.

47 47 DREDGE FLEET AND TECHNOLOGY Building on our experience and documentation collected (Chapter 2.0), Taylor Engineering researched available dredge types along with available technologies and their applicability to dredging requirements specific to the Waterway. Industry leaders provided useful insight into emerging dredging technology; however, they cautioned against investigation of dredging technologies outside the United States as the 1920 Merchant Marine Act (Jones Act), the Foreign Dredge Act of 1906, and the Shipping Act of 1916 require that all dredging inside the United States must be solely executed by United States (non-foreign) dredging companies. Therefore, bringing any new technology from outside the United States requires that it be solely implemented and sought after from United States documented firms and vessels. With that consideration, the following sections provide a general overview of the different dredge types, a summary of the currently available and market-driven international-, United States-, and Florida-based dredging fleets, and current and upcoming technology. Dredge Types Review of the current dredging fleet identified technology available for consideration for Waterway dredging projects. According to the International Association of Dredging Companies ( dredge types are grouped into three major categories mechanical, hydraulic, and hydrodynamic. Selection of a specific dredge type is based on a combination of factors such as material (depth, volume, and location), sediment characteristics (grain size, compactness), environmental issues (turbidity, contaminated sediments, permitting constraints), and cost considerations. Because the mobilization and capital costs of a dredge plant are significant, choosing the wrong vessel and methods can have significant economic consequences. No matter what dredge is selected, sediment resuspension (i.e., turbidity) and final disposal are issues that will typically have associated permitting and operational constraints Mechanical Dredges Mechanical dredges work by digging sediment from a floating or fixed platform and placing the sediment into a holding area on the dredge or adjacent barge. These types of dredges comprise roughly 19% and 30% of the international and United States dredge fleet, respectively, and largely include clamshells, backhoes, and bucket ladders. Mechanical dredges are most commonly applied for (1) small volume dredging jobs, (2) sediment that is spread out over a larger horizontal distance, (3) when hydraulic or hydrodynamic dredges cannot overcome material hardness and compaction to be efficiently dredged, (4) small confined areas that would be too restrictive to operate a hydraulic dredge (e.g., marinas) or (5) when a nearby (< 5-10 miles) dredged material management area (DMMA) does not exist. Once dredged, material is generally either deposited offshore into an approved Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS) or nearshore placement area. The material may also be mechanically transferred to an upland DMMA for dewatering, processing, and depending on sediment characteristics, including the presence of contaminants in the material, beneficially used in residential, commercial, or landfill applications. Photograph 3.1 shows the mechanical dredge employed for the FIND ICWW Broward project that deepened the ICWW from -10 to -15 ft mean lower low water (MLLW). The contractor removed material from the bottom of the ICWW with a conventional open bucket (10 cubic yards, cy) excavator and placed it into hopper barges. The 164 ft x 49 ft x 10 ft mechanical dredge a Liebherr 994 excavator provided a shallow draft and was powerful enough to break through the weathered limestone material in the project area. When filled to capacity, the 2,430-ton capacity hopper barges (230 ft x 43 ft x 11.8 ft) transported the material from the dredging site to a temporary DMMA located on Port Everglades 3

48 48 property approximately three miles south of the southerly project limit. On average, the dredging contractor achieved a production rate of approximately 1,300 cy/day over the course of the 160-day working or 870 cy/day over the 232-day total dredging period. With exception of one turbidity exceedance early in the construction period, the project resulted in no environmental permit violations. Photograph 3.1 Mechanical Dredge and Hopper Barge in the ICWW, Broward County Table 3.1 provides a cost summary for three recent (within the last 10 years) FIND dredging jobs using a mechanical dredge. Unit costs for dredged material removal ranged from $18 to $46/cy. The Lake Okeechobee project, at $46/cy, involved a much higher unit cost due to the incorporation of material handling costs (offloading, dewatering, maintenance of the DMMA) into the bid item, the fine-grained nature of the material, and the distance to which it needed to be barged and offloaded. Conversely, dredged material transport for the offloading of the dewatered dredged sediment ranged between $4 and $43/cy and, for the deepening projects, the unit costs included the material handling into the dewatered dredged sediment unit costs. Unit costs for the three separate projects also varied significantly due to the distance traveled to the final placement sites. 4

These types of dredges comprise roughly 45% and 60% of the international and United States based dredge fleet, respectively, and predominantly include cutterheads, plain suction, trailing suction hopper, chain ladder, and bucketwheel/cutting wheel. Hydraulic dredges are preferred to produce the lowest resuspension rates (i.e., lowest turbidity) and can achieve the greatest efficiency in non-compacted (maintenance) vs. compacted (deepening) sediment with relatively low cost. For hydraulic dredging applications an effective means i.e., upland dredged material management area, nearshore placement area, beach placement area, ODMDS to manage the slurry discharge is required. Photograph 3.2 shows the hydraulic dredge employed for the FIND ICWW Palm Beach project that deepened the ICWW from -10 ft to -15 ft MLLW. The contractor hydraulically removed material with a 68-ft x 28-ft 16-in. Ellicott 1170 conventional dredge. The dredge was configured with the dredging ladder attached to the forward end of the center hull section. The cutter drive system was mounted on the toe of the dredging ladder and a ladder A-frame was pin connected to the forward end of the two side floatation pontoons. The contractor selected 18-in. black high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe to convey the slurry material from the dredge to the FIND-owned Peanut Island DMMA. Since the total project area was approximately 3,600 ft and immediately adjacent to the DMMA, the use of a booster pump was not required. However, varying material types (sand and rock) throughout the ICWW cross-section made the hydraulic removal of 101,000 cy extremely taxing on the contractor s equipment and anticipated production. The contractor operated 5 days/week during daylight hours only. Production rates, due to encountering larger quantities of rock than expected, averaged 765 cy/day over the 132-day dredging period. No turbidity exceedances occurred. 5

The contractor removed approximately 180,000 cy of material to -12 ft MLLW with an Ellicott 890, 18-in. cutter suction dredge and pumped the material to, depending on distance to the DMMA, to either NA-1 or DU-2, via up to 30,000 ft of 18- and 20-in. HDPE pipeline and two 18-in. booster pumps. The contractor elected to operate 24 hours per day for 7 days per week with production rates averaging 450 cy/hour or 10,800 cy/24-hrs. The contractor completed the job within 3 months, far below the allowable contract time of 180 days. No turbidity exceedances occurred. Table 3.2 provides a cost summary for five recent FIND dredging jobs using a hydraulic dredge. Unit costs for dredged material removal ranged between $6 and $10/cy for unconsolidated (maintenance) dredged material. However, higher costs occurred for rock removal ($19 and $27/cy) and beach placement ($34/cy). The ICWW St. Lucie Reach I Beach placement job was a very high risk, shorttimeframe driven project (due to environmental restrictions related to the sea turtle nesting season) that included a 6.5-mile total pumping distance and the use of two booster pumps. 6

These dredges operate by resuspending bed sediments which then remain close to the channel bottom and flow to deeper areas within the channel. These types of dredges generally include agitation and ploughing and can include a variety of equipment such as a water injection dredge (WID), hopper dredge agitation, prop-wash, and rakes or drag beams. WID, considered the most specialized hydrodynamic dredge type, involves the fluidization of bed sediments to overcome cohesion in fine grained (cohesive) soils (silts and clays) or the internal friction of coarse grained (granular) soils. Coarser grained material (sands) having higher settling velocity than finer-grained material will likely settle out too quickly and will only flow over short distances. Fluidization of finer-grained sediments may be reduced as 7

52 52 cohesion and consolidation increase. Hydrodynamic dredges are typically employed because of the apparent low cost and operational flexibility and have found success in areas that have a strong unidirectional current and involve small volume, routine maintenance where environmental and sediment characteristics are fully understood (e.g., smaller harbors). Site specific limitations (conditions often found repeatedly in a smaller maintenance project areas) optimal soil and hydrodynamic conditions, compatible bathymetric conditions (vicinity, downstream deeper areas able to hold the fluidized sediment), acceptable transport distances, and operating depths will restrict areas for which this type of dredging method could be applicable. In his review of WID, Wilson (2007) noted that WID does not remove sediment from a channel; it only redistributes sediment within the channel. However, he concluded that WID may be viable under these conditions: 1. Long, straight channel reaches provide the best WID environment allowing WID operators to maintain a downward slope and density current. Typically, 1.62 km (1 mi) sections present the most conducive opportunity for WID capability. 2. Small sediment grain sizes much less than 0.2 mm (0.079 in) mean much more effective use of WID. Median grain sizes of mm ( in) produced the highest production rates known. 3. Smaller volumes than usual for a given dredge area produced the most cost effective WID operations WID, therefore, serves as a viable emergency dredging option. 4. Extensive Field data collection always helps analyze the WID process. Density profile data, for example, always provide invaluable data on how effective WID works in a given environment Weeks Marine currently owns and operates the only WID in the United States (Wilson, 2007). The USACE has contracted Weeks Marine for WID in the New Orleans and Houston areas. Typical production rates have ranged between 182 and 3,645 cy/hr with a median of 790 cy/hr for the 14 projects totaling 3.95 million cubic yards (mcy) performed between 1992 and Should FIND wish to purse WID for routine maintenance dredging, Taylor Engineering recommends limiting the method to those sections of the Waterway that meet the viable conditions outlined above.

Figures 3.1 and 3.2 provide graphical representations of the international and United States-based dredging fleets as of August Attachment B provides a detailed breakdown of all the dredge type categories by world region and country. The cutter suction dredge is the predominant dredge type both internationally (41%) and within the United States (54%). The trailing suction hopper (21%) and clamshell (19%) dredge follow in international dredge fleet statistics; however, the clamshell dredge (29%) is the second most abundant dredge in the United States. Remaining dredge types suction dredge, bucket wheel suction dredge, bucket ladder dredge, bucket backhoe, and other (e.g., suction dustpan, water injection, agitation plough) round up the remaining 19% and 17% of the total international and United States-based dredge fleet. 8

Table 3.3 provides a summary of contracts awarded by dredge type and dredge quantity between 2012 and Of the 834 total contracts awarded during this period, 381 (46%) contracts were for hydraulic dredging via cutter suction dredge and pipeline, 242 (29%) employed mechanical bucket dredges, and 132 (16%) were for hydraulic hopper dredges. The remaining 79 (9%) contracts involved nonconventional, sidecaster, or a combination of the prevalent dredge types. The United States-based dredge type distribution (Figure 3.2) 9

59 59 Dredge Technology During our documentation efforts (Chapter 2.0), we also out reached to several United Statesbased dredge manufacturers and technical suppliers to gain insight into current and emerging technology that may benefit the Waterway. Attachment A provides a copy of the individual interview forms and, when applicable, supporting information supplied by the company Mechanical Dredge Manufacturers Cable Arm, Inc. (Trenton, Michigan) and Anvil Attachments (Slaughter, Louisiana) are two of the leading cable- and hydraulic-clamshell bucket manufactures in the United States. Clamshell buckets are typically required for dredging contaminated sediment or where there is an overwhelming turbidity concern. The Cable Arm environmental clamshell buckets, updated in 2016, are designed to (1) seal in dredged material and contaminated sediment; (2) minimize lateral movement of material within the bucket; (3) remove material at nearly the same water content and volume as the in-situ material; and (4) create a nearly flat rectangular cut for even removal of sediment ( Anvil Attachments manufacturers six types of clamshell buckets (hydraulic, single-, double-, triple-, and quadruple-cable, electro-hydraulic, and diesel) that can be custom designed for any crane configuration and application. Several other United States-based companies Caterpillar, Deere & Company, and Terex manufacture traditional excavators and construction support equipment. Because these are not specialty dredging equipment manufacturers, we did not contact them Hydraulic Dredge Manufacturers Ellicot Dredge (Baltimore, Maryland) and DSC Dredge (Reserve, Louisiana) are two of the predominant hydraulic dredge manufacturers in the United States. Ellicot Dredge a 125-year old company that has sold over 2,000 dredges for 100 countries manufactures portable cutterhead, swinging ladder, large cutterhead, and custom dredges, pump barges, and booster pumps ( DSC Dredge ( formed with the consolidation of the merged Dredging Supply Company (1989) and Kenner Marine (1971) in 2010 manufactures conventional, swinging ladder, and customized dredge types, support equipment (work boats, boosters), and automated interface solutions for the dredge operation (control, management, maintenance). Charles Johnson, DSC Dredge, indicated that they have been actively researching dredging efficiency for aggregate and navigational dredging. DSC has recently patented a new dredge design that dredges as wide as a conventional dredge with a swinging ladder and does not require the use of swing wires and anchors. The dredge swings side-to-side as it advances through the channel on spuds and is specifically designed to increase dredging efficiency in both operation and mechanics. Attachment A contains additional information on Ellicot and DSC Dredge Dredge-Specific Positioning Software HYPACK and ClamVision provide the dredge captain a fully integrated, Windows-based software that provides navigational and dredging support with digging efficiency and precise positioning. HYPACK ( serving both the surveying and dredging industry, has packaged several software programs specifically for acquisition and processing of sub-bottom profiling data (HYPACK Sub-Bottom), calibrating, collecting and processing multibeam survey data (HYSWEEP ), collection and processing hydrographic data collection (HYPACK Max), and dredging control for cutter suction, hopper, excavators, and bucket dredges (DREDGEPACK ). Cable Arm developed a similar, dredge 15

60 60 positioning system marketed as ClamVision that provides crane operators a real time view of the barge and clamshell bucket positions ( Listed features include tide gauge adjustments, fully wireless data and video communications, and bucket depth. As witnessed in several FIND dredging projects, when HYPACK and ClamVision are appropriately calibrated and used by dredge captains, efficiency (and cost) of dredging applications is significantly improved. 16

61 61 FLORIDA EAST COAST DREDGING AND MANAGEMENT HISTORY A comprehensive understanding of dredged material management along the east coast of Florida is important to further developing dredging efficiencies (best management practices) for the FIND and USACE. Building on the historical information collected for FIND s DMMP and availability of information from FIND and the USACE, Taylor Engineering summarized the waterway (since the 1940 s) and Florida s east coast harbors (since 2002) dredging projects. Consolidation of this information authorized depths, dredging frequencies, typical unit costs, material placement, and dredge types allowed Taylor Engineering to identify potential opportunities to improve dredging efficiencies. Current Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Department of Army (DOA) environmental regulations also influence dredge types used for Waterway dredging and affect dredging efficiency. Organized by the AIWW/ICWW and east coast harbors and inlets, a discussion of historic and future of dredged material management follows below. Atlantic Intracoastal and Intracoastal Waterways The Waterway comprises two authorized project depths: (1) 12 ft below MLLW from the state line to the Ft. Pierce Harbor Project (FPHP) and (2) 10 ft below MLLW from the FPHP southward to the Miami Harbor Project (MHP) in Biscayne Bay. An additional 75-ft wide, 63-mile segment of the ICWW authorized and constructed to seven feet below MLLW from the MHP to Cross Bank, Florida Bay is also considered part of the ICWW 1. The 26-mile Florida section of the AIWW comprises that portion of the federal navigation project that extends northward from the Jacksonville Harbor Project (JHP) at the St. Johns River to the state line, while the 351-mile ICWW extends southward from the JHP to the MHP. Together, the AIWW and ICWW intersect each of Florida s 12 east coast (Nassau to Miami-Dade) counties Dredged Material Management Before the increased environmental awareness of the 1970s and the recognition by various federal and state regulatory agencies of the value of estuarine wetlands, a short-term economic approach guided management of dredged material. Engineering/operational and cost considerations determined the design and execution of channel maintenance projects. The Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund granted to the FIND perpetual easements typically named and identified by a maintenance spoil area (MSA) and number designation of significant acreage along the waterways. Most of these easements, located entirely within the sovereign waters of the state, included open water areas as well as expanses of pristine salt marsh in the more northern counties and mangrove wetlands in the more southern counties. Additionally, many landowners with holdings adjoining the waterways sought to improve the development potential of wetlands by granting disposal easements and allowing the unconfined placement of maintenance material. This approach, combined with the desire of dredging contractors to maximize operational efficiency, resulted in open-water and wetland placement of channel construction and maintenance material. These activities resulted in a loss of wetlands and the proliferation of numerous small spoil mounds and islands lining the Waterway. To secure its ability to maintain the waterways within the existing framework of engineering/operational and added environmental and socioeconomic/cultural considerations, the FIND initiated preparation of a long-range dredged material management plan (DMMP). Beginning in 1986, the 1 Rivers and Harbors Act of 1945 authorized an expansion of this southern segment that would have widened the channel from 75 ft to 90 ft from Miami to Cross Bank and extended the 90-ft wide channel to Key West, FL; however, construction funds were never received, and the channel remains unconstructed. 17

62 62 two-phased plan implemented, on a county by county basis, planning and site acquisition activities to accommodate all maintenance material dredged from the Waterway for the next 50 years. In general accordance with the USACE Engineer Regulation guidance document, the FIND originally completed on a county by county basis Phase I of the long range dredged material plans between 1986 (Nassau and Duval Counties) and 2002 (Miami-Dade). The development of the original Phase I reports consisted of six primary components: 1. Establishment of the 50-year material storage requirement based on historic maintenance dredging volumes and subsequent examination surveys 2. Evaluation of remaining or potential storage capacity of existing easements and the FINDowned tracts within the project area 3. Development of a management concept or strategy ocean disposal, open water placement, beach/nearshore placement, centralized upland storage appropriate to specific engineering/operational, environmental, and socioeconomic/cultural considerations 4. Identification of additional candidate sites consistent with the management concept 5. Evaluation of all candidate sites based on a standard set of criteria that reflects specific engineering/operational, environmental, and socioeconomic/cultural considerations 6. Selection of a set of primary (first-choice) and secondary (second-choice) dredged material management sites that best meet projected requirements consistent with the established management concept Phase II involved field data collection, site acquisition, preliminary site design, permitting and construction. Due to this comprehensive and long-range effort, FIND has successfully secured 57 upland DMMA s and identified 9 beach placement areas for the management of the Waterway sediment. An alternative and beneficial approach to traditional dredged material management methods not originally considered in the original DMMP effort includes regional sediment management (RSM), also known as engineering with nature and spoil site rejuvenation. RSM is a management method, with implications for all dredging projects, that (1) includes consideration of the environment; (2) accounts for the effect of human activities on sediment erosion; and (3) protects and enhances natural resources while balancing economic needs. RSM should be considered for long-term maintenance of the ICWW; however, RSM should be paired, with adjacent public agency projects (to share with environmental data collection costs) and, if possible, to secure future mitigation credits. From a cost perspective, applying RSM principles could be especially beneficial to the long-term maintenance of the Waterway by combining funds designated for Flood Risk Management projects (beaches) with dedicated navigation funding to achieve mutual goals of channel maintenance and shore protection (i.e., beach nourishment). In 2018, FIND initiated in accordance with Section (10)(d), Florida Statutes a programmatic Spoil Site Rejuvenation Plan to enable FIND to more efficiently offload ( rejuvenate ) its DMMAs to maximize their storage capacity for immediate and long-term maintenance needs. Via the preparation and submittal of a comprehensive plan to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (BTIITF), this plan, when approved, will enable FIND (without charge or public notice) to remove dredged material and place it on public or private lands. The plan is currently in draft format and will be submitted to BTIITF for consideration in the fall of Combined, both RSM and the Spoil Site Rejuvenation Plan serve to further FIND s overall mission and improve overall dredging and dredged material management efficiencies Maintenance Dredging History Both the historic and recent Waterway maintenance dredging history are provided in Table 4.1. Organized by county, this table provides a summary of 2014 shoal volumes for the Waterway (from FIND s 18

63 63 most recent comprehensive bathymetric condition survey), location of the historical dredging projects by cut and station, dredging length, year, design and pay volumes, total pay volume by mile, total number of dredging events by reach, and the highest shoaling rate reaches. The location of the harbors (indicated in green and discussed further in Section 4.2) and reference to the tax-based inlet districts St. Augustine Port, Waterway, & Beach District, Ponce de Leon Inlet Port Authority, Sebastian Inlet District, Jupiter Inlet District, and Hillsboro Inlet District are organized in the table by reach. As shown and based on available data, a total of 22.6 mcy in the Waterway have been dredged since the 1940 s. Attachment C provides a detailed breakdown by county of the summarized information contained in Table 4.1. The six highest shoaling rate areas Sawpit, Matanzas, Ponce de Leon Inlet, Crossroads, Jupiter, and Bakers Haulover require frequent dredging to maintain safe, navigable depth. Each of these areas are near tidal inlets where shoals form primarily by sand transported through the inlet by waves and tides. Therefore, most of this material contained in these shoals likely consist of beach-quality sand. As shown in Table 4.2, these six areas account for more than 60% of the maintenance volume and 50% of the total number of dredging events required for the entire Waterway. Two potential opportunities to increase dredging efficiencies for these six areas are (1) analysis of the coastal conditions to see if the construction of advanced maintenance areas (deepening or settling basins) could decrease the dredging frequency and (2) construction of the two remaining DMMA s (DU-3&4, MSA 434/434N) for Reaches NA-II/DU-III and V- IV to increase available storage capacity and allow for multiple maintenance events into vicinity DMMAs. For both the Matanzas and Crossroads areas, Taylor Engineering previously completed a detailed coastal analysis to investigate project modifications with the goal of increasing dredging efficiencies. For both areas, Taylor Engineering developed and applied a MIKE21 integrated hydrodynamic, wave, and sediment transport numerical model to identify, quantify, and analyze the wave climate, hydrodynamics, and sediment transport characteristics. The studies considered various alternatives seeking to reduce sediment inflow into the ICWW channel and other adjacent waterways. The 2007 Matanzas study evaluated a no-action alternative and three alternatives to reduce sediment deposition in Cuts SJ

68 68 The alternatives included (1) constructing a sediment trap in the north arm of Matanzas River, (2) constructing a spur dike off the northern tip of Rattlesnake Island, and (3) extending the existing settling basin in the ICWW. Model results indicated that a sediment basin in the north arm of Matanzas River could provide an annual saving of $18,000 relative to the no action alternative. However, after the completion of the study, the Summer Haven River immediately south of Matanzas Inlet filled with beach sand that passed through an adjacent dune breach. The filling and subsequent, recent dredging of the Summer Haven River and resulting, large changes in bed elevations along the north arm of Matanzas River could have changed the area s hydrodynamics and rendered the results of the 2007 study invalid. Considering these changes, a re-evaluation of the area s hydrodynamics and potential sediment transport could provide new insights to better ways to reduce maintenance dredging in the ICWW near Matanzas Inlet.

The study supported additional partial dredging of nearby shoals immediately north and south of OWW Cut 1 (wideners) to reduce the dredging frequency from every three years to every five years with an estimated annual savings of $200,000. The USACE expects to complete the project construction in Based on Taylor Engineering s analysis, the USACE has also completed and obtained approval of an advance maintenance report, which makes the wideners a part of the federal navigation project and eligible for federal funding for future maintenance. A recent (2017) ICWW Crossroads permit modification has also allowed increased flexibility for placement of dredged material into DMMA M-5, St. Lucie Inlet Impoundment Basin, or Martin County Borrow Area B. This modification provides FIND with increased flexibility to manage dredged sediment, 24

69 69 the ability to reduce costs associated with offloading DMMA M-5 on a less frequent basis and helps Martin County receive sand on its beach in a more efficient manner. The USACE provided documentation (Attachment D) for USACE-led advance maintenance projects at Sawpit, Jupiter, and Bakers Haulover; however, it is unknown to what extent the projects have undergone a detailed coastal analysis to determine optimal efficiencies. To our knowledge, Ponce de Leon has not been similarly investigated. Reorganizing and expanding on the information previously presented in Table 3.1 and Table 3.2, Table 4.3 provides further detail on the design depth, effective unit cost (entire project cost and divided by the total project volume), and dredge type applied for FIND projects between 2012 and As shown, the effective unit cost is typically much higher since it takes into consideration all other project costs such as mobilization/demobilization, insurance, environmental protection than the contracted unit cost for dredged material removed. In all instances, dredging occurred with either a conventional bucket excavator or cutter-suction dredge.

The USACE Jacksonville District is responsible for seven deep draft and four shallow draft harbors or inlets on the east coast of Florida. Deep draft harbors generally achieve a high benefit-cost ratio due to calculated annual tonnage and cargo value; therefore, these projects 25

70 70 compete well for federal navigation funding and are routinely scheduled in the USACE Operation and Maintenance budget. Maintenance projects that receive a low benefit-cost ratio (e.g., low use, shallow draft harbors, Waterway, inlets) must be funded through work plans or mini-pots which supplement the President s budget or through special taxing districts (e.g., Ponce Inlet Port Authority, Sebastian Inlet District, Jupiter Inlet District, Hillsboro Inlet District). Regardless, opportunities may exist where a combination of inlet and harbor project maintenance needs may overlap with the Waterway. Table 4.4 summarizes pertinent information design depth, typical dredging frequency, total number of dredging events, DMMA, total project volume, total project cost, effective unit cost, and typical dredge types for each of the USACE-managed harbors between 2002 and Similar to each reach of the Waterway, each harbor project area has one or more designated DMMAs that may include beach, nearshore, ODMDS, and landfill (in the case of Miami River sediment) placement. The authorized design depth of the harbors varies from -12 to -50 ft MLLW. The 15-year maintenance history for the deep and shallow draft harbors managed by the USACE totals nearly $950 million dollars to dredge 65,640,000 cy. The effective median unit cost per cubic yard of dredged material removed varies with dredge type and placement area and ranges from $3 to $43. Given the large scale of most of the harbor projects, the most common dredge types employed were the hopper, cutter-suction, and conventional bucket excavator. Attachment E provides a detailed breakdown by harbor of the information summarized in Table 4.4. Comparing the effective unit cost of the Waterway (Table 4.3) and harbors (Table 4.4) dredging, the unit costs for five of the eight FIND projects are not that substantially different. The three outliers include the two deepening (Dania Cutoff Canal and Broward Deepening) and the Lake Okeechobee muck dredging projects. The remaining five projects ICWW Volusia, ICWW Palm Beach Deepening, ICWW St. Lucie Reach I, AIWW Nassau Reach I, and ICWW Jupiter fall roughly in line with USACE projects occurring during the same year (Figure 4.1). 26

74 74 Five special taxing districts along the east coast of Florida support the development and improvement through investigations, studies, surveys, plans, drawings, geotechnical borings, project construction etc. of St. Augustine Inlet, Ponce Inlet, Sebastian Inlet, Jupiter Inlet, and Hillsboro Inlet. Jupiter Inlet District (JID) annually maintains the sand trap and every other year FIND partners with JID to share mobilization/demobilization costs to dredge the Waterway in conjunction with sand trap dredging. Of the five districts, only Hillsboro Inlet District (HID) operates and maintains its own dredge an Ellicott Dragon Series /12 Dredge. HID s dredge operation and maintenance annual budget totals approximately $1 million. To date, HID has not entertained (nor is it interested in pursuing) projects outside its jurisdiction. Attachment A contains documentation and interviews from four of the five Districts. Maintenance Dredging Permitting For maintenance dredging projects, FIND prepares and submits to the FDEP and Department of the Army (DOA) preliminary design drawings showing the proposed dredging locations, offloading area, and an abbreviated description of the dredged material handling methods and final placement (if not at an already permitted DMMA). The FDEP process generally involves verification of the maintenance dredging exemption under Chapter (3), Florida Statutes. If dredging restores the channel to original design specifications, previously undisturbed natural areas are not significantly impacted, and the work does not violate the manatee protection statute, Chapter (3) allows inland navigation districts to conduct maintenance dredging without a permit. Additional requirements to qualify for the exemption include compliance with a 150-meter turbidity mixing zone, material deposition into an upland DMMA existing before 2011 or permitted and constructed after 2011, notification to FDEP no less than 30 days before dredging, and more. The DOA permitting requires verification of the maintenance dredging authorization under the Regional General Permit (RGP) SAJ-93. The RGP, effective through April 26, 2021, authorizes FIND maintenance dredging of the AIWW, ICWW, OWW in accordance with the Federal authorization (plus an allowable 2-ft overdredge) and has no limitations of the volume of material dredged. RGP SAJ-93 requires dredging by hydraulic pipeline cutterhead suction or mechanical clamshell. However, it also allows limited use of hydrodynamic dredges (WID, agitation, drag bar, etc.) to smooth high spots and fill in low areas. Attachment F provides copies of the Chapter (3), Florida Statutes and RGP SAJ

75 75 MODIFICATION OF CURRENT CONTRACTING AND DREDGING PROCEDURES Building on information presented in Chapters , Taylor Engineering provides an overview of current Waterway contracting and dredging procedures and modifications that would likely improve dredging efficiencies for the overall programmatic effort. One potential and significant modification that Taylor Engineering was asked to consider was FIND s acquisition, operation, and maintenance of a dredge. Both contractual and dredge-ownership considerations are discussed in the sections below. Contracting Considerations The FIND and USACE typically use conventional design-bid-build contracting procedures that involve solicitation of competitive bids from dredging contractors and selection of the least cost, technically acceptable bid. This is done on a project specific basis as the dredging need arises and usually involves one specific reach of the Waterway that requires maintenance. The USACE to meet internal requirements and contracting goals further refines its qualified bidder criteria by requiring that all Waterway dredging projects be performed by small businesses. Occasionally, the USACE will use one of its small hopper dredges (e.g., CURRITUCK or MURDEN) from the Wilmington District, on a daily rental basis, to accomplish smaller dredging jobs where the material can be placed in a nearshore disposal area. Outside the current FIND open-bid process, five contractual modifications we considered included: (1) removal/reduction of the USACE small business criteria on Waterway projects, (2) combination of maintenance projects, (3) multi-year contracts, (4) rental contracts, and, (5) implementation of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) procedures. Discussions of each of the five considerations follows: Removal/Reduction of USACE Small Business Criteria and Combination of Project Maintenance Needs. While these two potential contractual modifications are different, removal of the USACE small business criteria could help to serve the combination of certain project maintenance needs. As presented in Chapter 4.0, dredging volumes for the 15-year history of the harbors amounts to 65.6 mcy versus the nearly 75-year dredging history of the Waterway of 22.6 mcy. Waterway project volumes are notably smaller and the controlling depths (-12 ft and -10 ft MLLW) place significant limits on a bigger dredge s ability to safely navigate; therefore, in most cases, the use of most deep-harbor dredging equipment will not be a viable choice for the Waterway. However, for certain projects particularly for the six highest shoaling rate reaches (Table 4.2) additional contractual opportunities (outside the typical FIND-JID for the ICWW Jupiter project) may exist between Waterway and harbor and inlet projects. Large dredging companies typically have shallow draft dredging equipment that could be mobilized with their larger plants when the need arises. For example, the Sawpit project could serve as an alternate bid item on the annual Jacksonville Harbor project, allowing larger dredging contractors to mobilize smaller dredging equipment at a significantly reduced cost to maintenance dredge the Waterway in vicinity of Sawpit. Similarly, ICWW maintenance in Reach PB-III near Peanut Island, though not frequently occurring, could be bid as an alternate with maintenance of the Palm Beach Harbor project. Outside the Waterway/harbor project opportunities, combination of Waterway project needs (e.g., Sawpit-Matanzas, Matanzas-Ponce de Leon Inlet, Ponce de Leon Inlet-Crossroads, Jupiter-Bakers Haulover) would be ideal for combining proximity, high-maintenance project needs to save on bidding and mobilization/demobilization costs. Separate from these six highest shoaling rate reaches, increase in competition (via the removal or reduction of the USACE small business criteria) and combination of maintenance projects could increase contractor competition and drive down mobilization/demobilization costs. Waterway reaches requiring maintenance do not necessarily need to be near one another to capture the benefits. More competitive bids may be obtained from a larger quantity of material and an overall bigger project. The USACE has previously combined two different and distinct authorized projects (such as Fort Pierce Harbor and Palm 31

76 76 Beach Harbor) into one maintenance dredging contract to reduce mobilization/demobilization, design, and construction administration costs. Recently, the USACE has also experimented with regional contracts, where projects in different USACE Districts are combined into a single contract. The concept could easily be applied to the Waterway whereby reaches in need of dredging throughout the Waterway are combined into a single contract. Multi-Year Contracts. Multi-year contracts have also proven to increase competition (by drawing greater interest from contractors) and reducing overall costs of design and bid administration. Cashman Dredging & Marine Contracting currently holds a multi-year contract with the New York and New Jersey Port Authority. When contacted, Cashman has 30 days to respond to the initial dredging request. In addition to a guarantee of a minimum level of work per year, Cashman receives payment for each mobilization/demobilization and by unit cost of volume dredged. The USACE has also applied multi-year contracts whereby projects maintained on an annual basis are advertised for a base year and two option years. A contractor thus selected can dredge the project for three years straight without the USACE having to advertise and award of a new contract each year. Although this works for projects that required dredging on an annual basis, application of this method to a single project on the Waterway would be difficult, since the dredging frequency for the highest shoaling rate area on the Waterway is approximately every three years. However, a combination of projects by region (such as Sawpit-Matanzas, Ponce de Leon Inlet, Crossroads, Jupiter, and Bakers Haulover) and multi-year contracts may have great advantages. Rental Contracts. This method entails solicitation of a daily dredge and crew rental for use on an on-call basis. Rental contracts are used extensively by USACE Districts responsible for the Mississippi River where dredging locations and needs vary as shoals tend to develop over short periods of time. Since the contractor is paid by the day (and not by the quantity dredged), this type of contract requires more proactive contract supervision. This scenario is used by the USACE Jacksonville District when it contracts the USACE Wilmington dredges (at a daily rate of $22,000/day) for Waterway projects. As an example of this type of contract, a solicitation from the USACE New Orleans District follows: Synopsis: The work consists of furnishing one fully crewed and equipped self-propelled trailing suction type hopper dredge on a rental basis. Work will be performed at the Mississippi River SWP Area, and possibly in other areas of the New Orleans District and in areas of both the Galveston and Mobile Districts. The estimated value of this work is between $5,000, and $10,000, The solicitation will issue on or about 14 November 2012, and a bid opening date will be established in a future amendment. This is an UNRESTRICTED procurement. Implementation of RFQ Procedures. Due to the uniqueness of the projects, FIND implemented two contracts Dania Cutoff Canal and Broward ICWW Deepening via the RFQ process. The RFQ evaluation committee consisted of the Executive Director, the District Engineer or his designee, and the District Commissioner for the county in which the project was located in. Specific proposal response requirements included a cover letter, proposer s technical profile, staff credentials and project team, quality control, listing of similar projects, project-specific technical approach for dredging and disposal of dredged material, and references. The evaluation committee members reviewed and rated each proposal, assigning points to several criteria based on the above topics. Combining the individual reviews, the committee ranked the contractors and asked the top three firms to provide a bid. The resulting, qualified low-bidder was awarded the contract. If FIND desires, this same RFQ process could be used for all projects, requiring contractors proposals to address any number of general and project-specific topics (e.g., a specific dredge type, advanced technology, specific software for monitoring of dredge equipment). However, more stringent technical specifications will often drive project costs upwards. Nonetheless, the 32

77 77 dredging industry is very competitive and, given enough flexibility in the means and methods to accomplish the overall project goal, dredging contractors can and will employ innovative approaches to reduce cost and, as a result, ultimately win more projects. Dredge Ownership In addition to contractual modifications, FIND has expressed some interest mostly due to inadequate federal funding in the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of a dredge for Waterway maintenance. While immediate and direct control of dredging appears appealing, the overall advantages and disadvantages of dredge ownership, including expected costs, must be considered before moving forward Advantages and Disadvantages In general, the primary advantages of FIND dredge ownership include increased flexibility to schedule dredging on an as-needed basis, ability to purchase the best dredge for the specific needs of the Waterway, ability to manage project construction and safety, and, depending on where the dredge(s) are based, reduction or elimination of mobilization/demobilization costs. Conversely, primary disadvantages include increased liability; increased cost, time, and staff for dredging program administration; and possible decrease or elimination of federal funding for Waterway maintenance both of which are not inconsequential. Liability considerations include worker safety, potential damages resulting from dredging operations (e.g., cut utility lines, improperly placed sediment, turbidity, impacts to recreational/commercial vessels) and strict compliance with the Longshoreman & Harbor Workers Compensation Act and other federal law related to dredging and marine operations Qualitative Opinion of Probable Program Costs This section qualitatively discusses capital, fixed, and variable costs FIND would likely incur with purchasing a dredge and associated supporting equipment (e.g., tenders, pipeline, booster pumps, vehicles). Capital costs, costs associated with purchasing a dredge and dredging equipment would vary significantly depending on the type and the size of the dredge. The dredge would need to comply with the 1920 Merchant Marine Act (Jones Act), the Foreign Dredge Act of 1906, and the Shipping Act of FIND may also consider looking into purchasing a used dredge. Although this would reduce the initial capital cost of purchasing the dredge, the downside would be a shorter service life and possibly higher maintenance costs. Fixed costs are incurred over the life cycle of a dredge, regardless of whether the dredge is operating. These costs include but are not limited to: 1. regular annual maintenance of the dredge, such as dry docking, regular painting to prevent corrosion due to extreme corrosive environment, pump overhauls, and servicing electric and hydraulic systems 2. dockage, to store and maintain dredge and supporting equipment when not in use 3. depreciation, i.e., the value of the dredge will be reduced over the passage of time, due to wear and tear 4. certifications, the dredge will need to be certified and inspected by a qualified person on a periodic basis to ensure the dredge conforms with all applicable regulations 33

78 78 5. permanent staff, due to the size and type of dredge a full-time crew will be required as they will need to be familiar with the operation of the dredge and supervise temporary staff during project operations 6. insurance, a typical insurance program for a dredging operation would include commercial or marine general liability, workers compensation, contractor s pollution liability, protection and indemnity, vessel pollution and Maritime Employer s Liability (MEL). Variable costs are incurred with operation of a dredge on a project by project basis. These costs include, but are not limited to: 1. mobilization/demobilization, costs to transfer the dredge and supporting equipment from storage location to dredge location 2. fuel, consumption of fuel is directly proportional to the installed horsepower of the dredge and the number of production hours 3. oils/lubricants/grease required due to the mechanical nature of the equipment 4. temporary crew, the size of the crew is adjusted on a project by project basis, further costs include overtime, per diem and travel costs 5. leasing and contracting costs for tenders 6. pipeline and booster pumps, these major costs are based on the distance the material must be transported from the cut to the disposal location 7. earthmoving equipment required for reworking material placed in upland disposal areas 8. surveyors, required to conduct before and after dredge surveys for payment purposes 9. environmental monitoring, this could comprise sea turtle, bird and turbidity monitoring as required by regulatory agencies. A considerable proportion of these costs are time-based unit costs. Therefore, a more costeffective dredging program occurs with a 24-hour, 7-day a week production schedule to achieve the greatest production value relative to the fixed costs of ownership. To make a well-informed decision about dredge ownership, a thorough quantitative economic analysis one that considers the total costs of acquisition, operation, and maintenance and an estimated production rate (cy/day) should be directly compared to previous FIND jobs to see if a cost savings could be achieved Dredge Recommendation If FIND decides to move forward with the purchase, operation, and maintenance of a dredge, FIND would need to select a dredge suitable for handling a typical range of Waterway dredging conditions. Identification of typical dredging requirements would include consideration of dredging depth, sediment type and grain size, pumping distance, and terminal elevation at the dredged slurry discharge. Taylor Engineering contacted two dredge manufacturers Ellicot and DSC Dredge to discuss potential dredge purchase options. Both companies indicated that they are available to assist FIND select the right size and model dredge for the specific project requirements and budget; however, since dredging conditions vary along the ICWW (e.g., material types, pumping distances, dredging volume), more than one dredge type may be necessary to meet the overall program needs. 34

79 79 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS With limited federal navigation funding available for operation and maintenance, the Waterway does not compete well in the federal navigation budget process. FIND spends approximately $20 million each year maintaining the channel by supplementing the USACE budget and independently funding FINDcontracted dredging projects. To investigate if a better, more efficient process exists, Taylor Engineering interviewed and obtained documentation from leaders within the dredging community, researched available dredge types and technologies and their applicability to dredging requirements specific to the Waterway, reviewed historical dredging patterns in the Waterway (since the 1940 s) and Florida s east coast harbors (since 2002), and evaluated current contracting and dredging procedures. The following section summarizes our findings and provides recommendations for modifications that would likely improve dredging efficiencies for the overall programmatic effort. Conclusions Dredge types are grouped into three major categories mechanical, hydraulic, and hydrodynamic. The hydraulic, cutter suction (54%) and mechanical, clamshell (29%) dredge are the predominant dredge types in the United States and this fleet breakdown closely aligns with the statistics of the international dredge fleet. Weeks Marine, Inc. currently owns and operates the only WID in the United States and has performed work for the USACE in the New Orleans and Houston areas since Site specific limitations (conditions often found repeatedly in smaller maintenance project areas) and environmental concerns restrict areas for which this type of dredging method is applicable. Unless solely implemented and sought after from United States owned firms, technology from outside the United States is strictly prohibited by the 1920 Merchant Marine Act (Jones Act), the Foreign Dredge Act of 1906, and the Shipping Act of 1916; however, United States companies are making technological advances in dredges, components, and software that are positively impacting dredging efficiencies. Maintaining the Waterway is more efficient because of the permitting allowances made by Chapter (3), Florida Statutes and the USACE Jacksonville District RGP SAJ-93. Building on the historical information collected for FIND s DMMP and availability of information from FIND and the USACE, Taylor Engineering summarized Waterway (since the 1940 s) and Florida s east coast harbors (since 2002) dredging projects. Dredging volume for the 15-year history of the harbors amounts to 65.6 mcy; in contrast, AIWW/ICWW dredging totals 22.6 mcy for the nearly 75-year dredging history of the Waterway. The six highest shoaling rate areas of the Waterway Sawpit, Matanzas, Ponce de Leon Inlet, Crossroads, Jupiter, and Bakers Haulover account for more than 60% of the maintenance volume and 50% of the total number of dredging events required for the entire Waterway. For the Crossroads area, Taylor Engineering simulated water surface elevation, flow velocity, bed and suspended sand transport, erosion, and deposition at the area of Crossroads. The modeling effort resulted in channel modifications to reduce the dredging frequency from every three years to every five years with an estimated annual savings of $200,000. Recent (2017) permit modifications also allow increased flexibility for placement of Crossroads dredged material into DMMA M-5, St. Lucie Inlet Impoundment Basin, or Martin County Borrow Area B which may decrease double handling of material. To our knowledge, Ponce de Leon Inlet and Bakers Haulover have not been similarly investigated to determine whether similar improvements to dredging efficiency can be made. The partnership agreement FIND and JID entered into for responsibility over the Jupiter section of the ICWW and sand trap has benefited both entities. There are other potential modifications to present contractual approaches (1) removal/reduction of the USACE small business criteria on FIND projects, (2) combination of maintenance project needs, (3) multi-year contracts, (4) rental contracts and, (5) 35

80 80 implementation of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) procedures that should be pursued to increase dredging efficiencies along the Waterway, particularly in those six areas that consume more than 50% of the operation and maintenance budget. In addition to contractual modifications, FIND can pursue the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of a dredge to have immediate and direct control over dredging operations. However, to make a well-informed decision about dredge ownership, a thorough quantitative economic analysis one that considers the total costs of acquisition, operation, and maintenance and an estimated production rate (cy/day) could be directly compared to previous FIND dredging projects to see if cost savings could be achieved. Recommendations While FIND s programmatic effort is one of the most successful in the United States, continued programmatic greatness is achieved by looking forward. To continue to accomplish the overall mission of keeping the Waterway in a safe, navigable condition for commercial and recreational vessels, we recommend, in order of priority, the following: 1. Aside from Crossroads, analyze the remaining high shoaling rate areas to determine whether the reconfiguration of construction of advanced maintenance areas (deepening or settling basins) could decrease the overall dredging frequency. The current condition of the five remaining shoaling areas follow: a. Ponce de Leon Inlet has never been evaluated. b. Matanzas should be revaluated (from the previous 2007 effort), and the study area expanded to determine how the Summer Haven River filling and subsequent restoration has impacted the overall area. c. Sawpit, Jupiter, and Bakers Haulover should be reevaluated to determine if additional improvements can be made. 2. Obtain BTIITF approval for FIND Programmatic Spoil Site Rejuvenation plan. 3. Continue to consider and coordinate with USACE about potential RSM strategies. 4. In addition to open advertisement, send bid solicitations to Florida-based dredging companies to increase awareness and local competition. 5. Investigate contractual modifications a. Discuss with USACE about decreasing or eliminating the small business set aside for all Waterway projects b. Partner with adjacent high maintenance harbor projects (e.g., Jacksonville Harbor, Canaveral Harbor, Palm Beach Harbor) and local tax-based inlet districts (St. Augustine Port, Waterway, & Beach District, Ponce de Leon Inlet Port Authority, Sebastian Inlet District, Jupiter Inlet District, and Hillsboro Inlet District) to dredge the Waterway. c. Consider combination of project needs, multi-year and rental contracts for Sawpit, Matanzas, Ponce de Leon Inlet, Crossroads, Jupiter, and Bakers Haulover to save on design and bid process fees. d. Require the use of integrated software (HYPACK and ClamVision ) that supports digging efficiency and positioning. 6. If No. (1) does not achieve a significant reduction in shoaling rates, permit, design, and construct DMMA DU-3&4 and MSA 434/434 N for Reach NA-II/DU-III and V-IV to increase available storage capacity. 7. Complete a quantitative economic analysis of a FIND-owned dredge to see if a cost savings could be achieved. 36

86 ATTACHMENT A 86 SCOPE OF SERVICES CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION FOR DREDGED MATERIAL MANAGEMENT AREA BV-52 WEIR, WALKWAY, AND PIPELINE REPLACEMENT BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA INTRODUCTION Observations by Taylor Engineering documented that the Dredged Material Management Area (DMMA) BV-52 weirs, walkway, and associated piping are in poor condition and must be replaced. Taylor Engineering has prepared the engineering design, drawings, and technical specifications for the replacement infrastructure. The Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) intends to hire a contractor to replace the weirs, walkway, and pipeline prior to the site s anticipated use in spring Bidding is ongoing, and the FIND expects to award a construction contract in September. This scope of services provides for construction administration for the weir, walkway, and pipeline replacement. In preparing this scope of services, we have made the following assumptions: The total construction time (including mobilization/demobilization) will be approximately 180 calendar days (± 26 weeks), based on a five-day week, 12-hour day operating schedule. Project construction will not result in any substantial deviations from the project drawings and specifications. Should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, Taylor Engineering will work with the FIND to develop an appropriate additional scope of services and cost. SCOPE OF SERVICES TASK 1 CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION 1.1 Pre-Construction Meeting Taylor Engineering will conduct a pre-construction meeting. We will discuss the project, answer contractor's questions concerning any technical aspects of the work, and achieve a mutual understanding with the contractor of required quality control and environmental monitoring. In addition, we will discuss lines of engineer and contractor authority, general and specific contract conditions, contract administration, progress payment, correspondence procedures, project schedule, submittal register, and labor requirements. We will take minutes of the meeting and distribute them to the attendees. We assume the coordination meeting will occur at or near the project site in Brevard County. This meeting will occur after the Notice of Award and before the Notice to Proceed. 1.2 Pre-Construction Submittal Review Taylor Engineering will review the contractor' s pre-construction submittals. These submittals may include (among others) an updated schedule of values, list of subcontractors, signature authority, construction schedule, submittal register, environmental protection plan, and quality control plan. 1.3 Metal Fabrication Shop Visit Taylor Engineering will visit the metal fabrication facility chosen by the contractor up to two times while the contractor is fabricating the metal components. These visits are intended as a quality control

87 ATTACHMENT A 87 measure to observe the fabrication facility and methods as well as meet with the fabricators to clarify the design intent and answer any questions about the intended design and fabrication of metal components. 1.4 Site Visits Bi-Monthly Progress Meetings Two times per month, we will meet with the contractor on-site to discuss project progress and address questions pertaining to engineering, design, permitting issues, and proposed changes to the project design; these meetings will provide a setting to address and resolve any conflicts on the project. Expected attendees include Taylor Engineering staff, representatives from the construction contractor and the FIND staff, if available. The progress meeting agenda will generally include review of minutes of previous meetings, work progress since the previous meeting, and upcoming work (i.e. construction schedule, submittal register, quality control/quality assurance testing, contract quality for materials and workmanship, pending contract modifications, changes and substitutions of materials), and other business as appropriate Site Observation Visits We will make on-site observations two days a week, as project conditions warrant, with an observer located on site approximately three hours each observation day. Taylor Engineering's observers will ascertain whether work is progressing in general conformance with the project drawings and specifications and will note discrepancies from the construction documents. Following each site visit, Taylor Engineering will prepare a construction observation report, which will become part of the project record. The report will include the name of the observer, weather conditions, date, personnel/visitors on site, the contractor's personnel and equipment, and daily summary of events. Taylor Engineering will not direct the contractor's means, methods, or sequencing of construction. Taylor Engineering will not be responsible for jobsite safety. 1.5 Review and Approve Contract Related Items We will review the contractor's shop drawings and submittals, progress pay applications, release of lien, contractor affidavits, and contractor's certifications. We will, if required, assist with preparation of change orders. We will remain available through construction to provide advice and consultation to the FIND through site visits and teleconferences. In this role, we will address questions pertaining to engineering, design, and any proposed changes to project design. We will notify the FIND of any work stoppages or conflicts, and recommend to the FIND ways to resolve these issues. TASK 2 PROJECT CLOSEOUT AND CERTIFICATION 2.1 Monitoring Visits for Grassing Establishment Taylor Engineering will not certify the construction work and the FIND will not close the construction contract until it is determined that newly planted grass on reconstructed embankments is established. Taylor Engineering has budgeted to visit the site up to four times, post-construction, to inspect and monitor grassing establishment.

88 ATTACHMENT A Project Closeout and Certification When the contractor requests certification that the project is substantially complete, we will visit the project site to make our determination of the degree of completion. If we cannot certify substantial completion, we will develop preliminary and subsequent final punch lists of items for the contractor to complete or correct. With concurrence from the FIND, we will transmit this list to the contractor. Upon completion of punch list items, we will certify the project substantially complete. We have budgeted for two on-site meetings during this stage of the project. We will collect and review the following information from the contractor before project closeout: (1) final waiver and release of lien from all subcontractors and suppliers, (2) final pay application, (3) post-construction/as-built survey, (4) final contractor certification, and (5) final contractor affidavit. SCHEDULE The project schedule for Tasks 1 and 2 will follow the construction schedule with a total construction time (including mobilization/demobilization) of approximately 180 calendar days. The total construction duration is based on an assumed five-day week, 12-hour day contractor operating schedule with an additional two weeks for project closeout and certification.

Crosley Executive Director c/o Ms. Janet Zimmerrnan Florida Inland Navigation District 1314 Marcinski Road Jupiter, Florida Re: Request for Extension DA-NBV North Bay Village Boardwalk, PH I Dear Mr. Crosley: In FY2016, North Bay Village was awarded $50,000 in funding for the planning and design of the Boardwalk project. The contract is scheduled to end on September 30, 2018; however, the Village is requesting a one-year extension which will allow us to complete the project by September The Boardwalk is a part of the Village's ongoing effort to revitalize its commercial corridor and provide public access to the Village's waterfront. Once completed the project will include a 3,400 linear foot multi-use Boardwalk/Bay"walk overlooking Biscayne Bay and adjacent to the Kennedy Causeway (NW 79th Street). The Village contmcted with Coastal Engineering Consultants, Inc. to design the Boardwalk project. Unfortunately, the project is delayed by staff tumover at the Village, challenges in securing riparian rights along the project site, and the recent buyout of Coastal Engineering by another firm.

107 CONTININUING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) SERVICES FOR THE FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION DISTRICT 107 SCOPE OF SERVICES INTRODUCTION Over the past two years, Taylor Engineering has completed three Geographic Information Systems (GIS) projects for the Florida Inland Navigation District (District). These projects provided the District with two geodatabases of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data. The first geodatabase has base GIS data associated with the District s Dredged Material Management Areas (DMMAs), the Intracoastal Waterway, the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), and the Okeechobee Waterway (OWW). These base data provide the point, line, polygon and tabular (attribute) information that drives the District s GIS system. The second Geodatabase contains the most up-to-date bathymetric survey data for the ICWW, the AIWW, and the OWW. In addition to the base GIS data provided to the District, Taylor Engineering also created a web mapping portal that is linked to the District s website. This web mapping portal provides a method for stakeholders and other members of the general public to download the latest GIS data provided by the District. The purpose of this scope is to provide the District with ongoing GIS services to maintain their GIS data and to ensure that the web mapping portal stays up-to-date. The potential GIS services provided under this scope are detailed below. The District reserves the right to modify or add to these services as long as these modifications are achievable under this scope s time and budget constraints. Note: All services listed below are contingent on requests and approval by the District to provide updates to their GIS data and web mapping portal. TASK 1 UPDATES TO PARCELS AND OTHER DMMA INFORMATION 1.1 District-owned, easement, use-agreement and utility parcels Taylor Engineering will use information provided by the District or data from Taylor Engineering s other District projects - to update the miscellaneous District-owned, easement, useagreement, and/or utility parcels that the District manages. Updates to DMMA attribute data will coincide with updates to Dredge Material Management Plans (DMMP). Taylor Engineering will add and populate additional attributes as requested by the District. 1.2 DMMA specific data Taylor Engineering will update DMMA specific data provided by the District, or information available from Taylor Engineering s other District projects. Updates will occur on the following data: dikes, fences, gates, weirs, wells, settlement plates, pipe sleeves and access roads.

108 108 CONTININUING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) SERVICES FOR THE FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION DISTRICT SCOPE OF SERVICES TASK 2 UPDATES TO WATERWAYS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (WAP), COOPERATIVE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (CAP), AND INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT PROGRAM (IAP) DATA Taylor Engineering will update the existing point feature classes for each assistance program with data provided by the District. Updates consist of creating new project location points for assistance programs that have been established after the completion of the previous GIS projects. These points provide quick access to project locations and documents associated with each project. TASK 3 UPDATES TO CHANNEL SPECIFIC DATA Occasionally, changes to channel alignment are required to account for natural processes such as predominant shoaling. Taylor Engineering will update the centerline features; reach, cut and channel polygon features; and station/mileage features as needed to account for channel alignment changes on the ICWW, AIWW, and OWW. Taylor Engineering will capture updates to reach and cut information from the District s Dredging Efficiency Report provided by Taylor Engineering. TASK 4 UPDATES TO BATHYMETRIC SURVEY DATA Taylor Engineering will update the District s bathymetric survey geodatabase with the latest bathymetric information from post-dredge surveys or other surveys conducted to capture the latest channel depths. TASK 5 UPDATES TO OTHER MISCELLANEOUS DATA Taylor Engineering will update existing data for reefs, seagrass coverage, seagrass mitigation sites, and District managed signs. We will use data from state, local, Taylor Engineering and District sources to update these data. TASK 6 WEB MAP PORTAL UPDATES Taylor Engineering will continue to provide development services for the District s web map portal. Services provided under this task include updates to features created for the District s base GIS data covered by this scope. At the request of the District, additional district-wide features will be added to the web map portal. 2

109 109 CONTININUING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) SERVICES FOR THE FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION DISTRICT SCOPE OF SERVICES TASK 7 GIS TRAINING AND DISTRICT COORDINATION Taylor Engineering will make up to three office visits per year to the District as part of this scope. These office visits provide opportunities for project coordination and training as needed. On-site project coordination will include discussions about the District s web map portal, custom tool development, and other methods to create efficiency for District staff. Additional services will include data delivery, software installation/updates, training for District staff related to the use of their GIS system, GPS data capture, and the use of additional tools provided for this project. SCHEDULE AND BUDGET This scope provides continuing GIS services to the District over a period of two years. The maximum budget for this scope is $59,776. This budget estimates twelve hours of GIS production time each month and six trips to the District office. 3

The dredge operator shall gravity-release the clamshell bucket only at the water surface, and only after confirmation that there are no manatees within the safety distance identified in the standard conditions. 6. Pipelines may be weighted or floated and shall be positioned such that they do not restrict manatee movement to the maximum extent possible. Pipelines transporting dredge material shall be weighted or secured to the bottom substrate as necessary to prevent movement of the pipeline and to prevent manatee entrapment or crushing. 7. Nighttime clamshell dredging is prohibited in the Important Manatee Area (IMA). Referenced page 3 of the attached drawings for location of IMA s. 8. If dredging were to take place in the Warm Water Aggregation Area (WWAA), the Permittee shall comply with the IMA restrictions. Reference page 3 of the attached drawings for location of IMA s and WWAA s. 9. To reduce the risk of a vessel crushing a manatee, the Applicant shall install fenders or buoys that provide a minimum standoff distance of at least 4 ft under maximum compression, and shall be utilized between moored vessels, or two vessels that are moored together. 10. Any bilge or other water discharge unit that may attract manatees shall be prohibited. 11. Any objects (e.g., pipe, rope, cords, etc.) placed in the water shall be properly secured and regularly monitored to prohibit manatee entanglement or entrapment.

127 If conditions (e.g., weather, heavy currents, etc.) are such that manatees cannot be observed within ft, in-water activities shall not be conducted. 13. Any take of or sighting of an injured or incapacitated federally listed species shall be reported immediately to the Corps and FWS.

If the Permittee is unable to view the SARBO at this website, the Permittee shall contact the Corps to receive a copy of the SARBO. The Permittee shall implement all reasonable and prudent measures identified in the SARBO. NMFS has issued the SARBO to the Corps for hopper dredge projects that limit the take of listed turtles, whales, sturgeon, sawfish, and any other species listed in the SARBO. Authorization under this permit is conditional upon compliance with all of the mandatory terms and conditions associated with the SARBO, which terms and conditions are incorporated by reference in this permit. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions associated with the SARBO, where a take of the listed species occurs, would constitute noncompliance with this permit. Failure to comply with this permit will be the basis for suspension and revocation of this permit and may be the basis for other enforcement action. NMFS has directed that this SARBO issued to the Corps serve as the formal consultation for all hopper

128 dredge projects in the area covered by the SARBO; however, where the terms and conditions of the SARBO differ from the special conditions of this permit, the special conditions of this permit will take precedence as the more stringent condition. 16. Incidental Take Statement: This permit does not authorize the Permittee to take an endangered species, in particular sea turtles, sturgeon, whales or any other threatened or endangered species listed in the SARBO. The SARBO includes an Incidental Take Statement (ITS) issued to the Corps. The Permittee understands and agrees that, even where it is in full compliance with the terms and conditions of the SARBO ITS and this permit, incidental take by the Permittee or other hopper dredging operations within the area covered by the SARBO may result in suspension or modification of this permit by the Corps. The amount of incidental take that will trigger suspension, and the need for any such suspension, shall be determined at the discretion of the Corps. The Permittee understands and agrees on behalf of itself, its agents, contractors, and other representatives, no claim, legal action in equity or for damages, adjustment, or other entitlement against the Corps shall arise as a result of such suspension or related action. 17.

157 157 Florida Department of Environmental Protection Southeast District Office 3301 Gun Club Road, MSC West Palm Beach, FL Rick Scott Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera Lt. Governor Ryan E. Matthews Interim Secretary Florida Inland Navigation District c/o Mark Crosley 1314 Marcinski Road Jupiter, FL Sent via to designated agent: Re: File No.: EE File Name: ICWW Maintenance Dredge Dear Mr. Crosley: On March 1, 2017, we received your application for an exemption to maintenance dredge 85,000 cubic yards of material within a 2,091,000 sq. ft. area to a maximum dredge depth of minus twelve (12) feet below mean lower low water. The project is located in the Intracoastal Waterway, Class III Waters, between the Port of Palm Beach, Riviera Beach (Section 34, Township 42 South, Range 43 East), in Palm Beach County (Latitude N , Longitude W ) and the Town of Palm Beach Docks, Palm Beach (Section 34, Township 42 South, Range 43 East), in Palm Beach County (Latitude N , Longitude W ). Your request has been reviewed to determine whether it qualifies for (1) regulatory exemption, (2) proprietary authorization (related to state-owned submerged lands), and (3) federal approval that may be necessary for work in wetlands or waters of the United States. Your project did not qualify for the federal review portion of this verification request. Additional authorization must be obtained prior to commencement of the proposed activity. This letter does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other federal, state, or local authorizations that may be required for the activity. Please refer to the specific section(s) dealing with that portion of the review below for advice on how to proceed. 1. Regulatory Review VERIFIED Based on the information submitted, the Department has verified that the activity as proposed is exempt under Chapter (7)(a), Florida Administrative Code, from the need to obtain a regulatory permit under part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes. This exemption verification is based on the information you provided the Department and the statutes and rules in effect when the information was submitted. This verification will expire after

158 File No.: EE File Name: Page 2 of one year, and will not be valid at any other time if site conditions materially change, the project design is modified, or the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity are amended. However, the activity may still be conducted without further notification to or verification from the Department after the one-year expiration of this verification, provided: 1) the project design does not change; 2) site conditions do not materially change; and 3) there are no changes to the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity. In the event you need to re-verify the exempt status for the activity after the one-year expiration of this verification, a new application and verification fee will be required. Any substantial modifications to the project design should be submitted to the Department for review, as changes may result in a permit being required. Conditions of compliance with the regulatory exemption are contained in Attachment A. 2. Proprietary Review GRANTED The Department acts as staff to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Board of Trustees) and issues certain authorizations for the use of sovereign submerged lands. The Department has the authority to review activities on sovereign submerged lands under chapters 253 and 258 of the Florida Statutes, and chapters 18-18, and of the Florida Administrative Code. Your project will occur on sovereignty, submerged land and will require authorization from the Board of Trustees to use public property. As staff to the Board of Trustees, we have reviewed the proposed project and have determined that, as long as the activities and/or structure are located within the described boundaries of Sovereignty Submerged Lands Easement Nos , 29177, 29178, and and is consistent with the attached general consent conditions, no further authorization from the Board of Trustees is required. General Conditions for State-Owned Submerged Land Authorizations: (a) Authorizations are valid only for the specified activity or use. Any unauthorized deviation from the specified activity or use and the conditions for undertaking that activity or use shall constitute a violation. Violation of the authorization shall result in suspension or revocation of the grantee s use of the sovereignty submerged land unless cured to the satisfaction of the Board. (b) Authorizations convey no title to sovereignty submerged land or water column, nor do they constitute recognition or acknowledgment of any other person s title to such land or water. (c) Authorizations may be modified, suspended or revoked in accordance with their terms or the remedies provided in Sections and , F.S., or Chapter 18-14, F.A.C. (d) Structures or activities shall be constructed and used to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to sovereignty submerged lands and resources. (e) Construction, use, or operation of the structure or activity shall not adversely affect any species which is endangered, threatened or of special concern, as listed in Rules 68A , 68A , and 68A , F.A.C.

159 File No.: EE File Name: Page 3 of (f) Structures or activities shall not unreasonably interfere with riparian rights. When a court of competent jurisdiction determines that riparian rights have been unlawfully affected, the structure or activity shall be modified in accordance with the court s decision. (g) Structures or activities shall not create a navigational hazard. (h) Structures shall be maintained in a functional condition and shall be repaired or removed if they become dilapidated to such an extent that they are no longer functional. This shall not be construed to prohibit the repair or replacement subject to the provisions of Rule , F.A.C., within one year, of a structure damaged in a discrete event such as a storm, flood, accident, or fire. (i) Structures or activities shall be constructed, operated, and maintained solely for water dependent purposes, or for non-water dependent activities authorized under paragraph (1)(f), F.A.C., or any other applicable law. 3. Federal Review SPGP NOT APPROVED Your proposed activity as outlined on your notice and attached drawings does not qualify for Federal authorization pursuant to the State Programmatic General Permit and a separate permit or authorization may be required from the Corps. A copy of your permit application has been forwarded to the Corps for their review. The Corps will issue their authorization directly to you or contact you if additional information is needed. If you have not heard from the Corps within 30 days from the date your application was received at the local FDEP Office, contact the Corps at the Palm Beach Gardens Regulatory Field Office at (561) , for status and further information. Failure to obtain Corps authorization prior to construction could subject you to federal enforcement action by that agency. Authority for review - an agreement with the USACOE entitled Coordination Agreement Between the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Jacksonville District) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, or Duly Authorized Designee, State Programmatic General Permit, Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbor Act of 1899, and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Additional Information Please retain this letter. The activities may be inspected by authorized state personnel in the future to insure compliance with appropriate statutes and administrative codes. If the activities are not in compliance, you may be subject to penalties under Chapter 373, F.S., and Chapter 18-14, F.A.C.

Under Section (3), F.S., however, any person who has asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within 21 days of receipt of such notice, regardless of the date of publication. The failure to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person's right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections and , F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule , F.A.C.

199 199 August 24, 2018 May 4, 2018 Monthly Report for Monthly Report for the Florida Inland Navigation District The Florida Inland Navigation District TO: FROM: Mark Crosley, Executive Director Janet Zimmerman, Assistant Executive Director Jim Davenport, Partner FY 2019 APPROPRIATIONS OUTLOOK As we look to the fall, the House and Senate can move Energy and Water Appropriations legislation. On June 8, the House passed a roughly $147 billion three-bill FY 2019 spending package (H.R. 5895) on a partisan vote. The three-bill minibus included the Energy and Water, Military Construction-VA and Legislative Branch appropriations bills. The Senate followed suit by amending and passing the House bill on June 25, by a vote of 86-5, setting the table for a conference with the House on the legislation. The House bill funds the Corps of Engineers at $7.28 billion, an increase of $451 million above the fiscal year 2018 enacted level. The Senate bill includes $6.9 billion for the Corps. Both bills include $2.98 million for the IWW, which was requested by the Administration. The House bill includes the following amounts for maintenance dredging activities: $32.9 million for Navigation Maintenance $50 million for Inland Waterways $60 million for small, remote, subsistence harbors The Senate bill includes the following amounts for maintenance dredging activities: $25 million for Navigation Maintenance $50 million for Inland Waterways $50 million for small, remote, subsistence harbors These numbers are larger than in past years, providing us with a better opportunity for increased funding in the FY 19 work plan. The House and Senate have begun conference negotiations on the bills, and we will keep you apprised of final passage. NO MITIGATION FOR MAINTENANCE DREDGING As you know from our last report, the House of Representatives passed ( ) a reauthorization of the Magnuson Stevens Act, titled the Strengthening Fishing Communities and Increasing Flexibility in Fisheries Management Act (H.R. 200), sponsored by Don Young (R-AK). Our amendment to the legislation, offered by Reps. Lois Frankel and Daniel Webster (R-FL), was passed by voice-vote during debate on the bill, and is now part of the legislation. While having our amendment is a significant development, the Senate will likely not take up H.R. 200 since it is considered a partisan Magnuson reauthorization. Likewise, we do not expect the Senate to introduce a comprehensive Magnuson Stevens reauthorization before the conclusion of the 115 th Congress. With that being said, we will continue to work to have our amendment in future Magnuson Stevens legislation in the 116 th Congress.
