This attachment document specifies the location and physical attributes of the Pinellas County Artificial Reef Program Staging Area, which serves as the collection and unloading point for the Artificial Reef - Tire Removal Project administered by the Pinellas County Solid Waste Department. The staging area is situated within Sand Key Park at 1060 Gulf Blvd. in Clearwater, Florida, and is accessible by water through Clearwater Pass. The facility includes a commercial mooring dock approximately 180 feet long with water depths of 5 to 6 feet at mean lower low water (MLLW), and an asphalt pad measuring approximately 150 feet by 150 feet for staging and storage operations.

The staging area does not provide water or power hookup infrastructure. This facility is designated as the primary location where contractors will transport and unload approximately 3,300 recovered tires and associated marine debris collected from five artificial reef areas across Pinellas County, including the Clearwater Artificial Reef area (320 acres), Rube Allyn Reef Area (220 acres), St. Pete Beach Artificial Reef area (60 acres), Treasure Island Artificial Reef area (85 acres), and Madeira Beach Artificial Reef area (85 acres), into County-provided containers for processing and disposal.
