Exhibit_A_-_Flood_Shoal_Surveys_Summary_Report_3-12-2025_with_Appendicies.pdf

The document "Exhibit_A_-_Flood_Shoal_Surveys_Summary_Report_3-12-2025_with_Appendicies.pdf" is a comprehensive investigative report prepared for Volusia County, Florida, focusing on flood shoal surveys within Ponce de Leon Inlet and the Intracoastal Waterway. The report details a bathymetric and topographic survey conducted in 2024/2025, which identified approximately 1.7 million cubic yards of beach-quality sand suitable for potential on-beach placement. The project seeks professional engineering services to design, permit, and provide environmental oversight, including turtle monitoring and relocation, bid administration, and construction administration for dredging and sand placement. The initial sand placement will cover an area from Sunglow Pier in Daytona Beach Shores to Ormond Beach, with an estimated distribution of 18 cubic yards per linear foot of shoreline.

The report highlights that the County has not yet determined the final placement location for the remaining sand or the specific placement mechanism (truck haul and/or hydraulically pumped). The project requires compliance with agreements from the Florida Inland Navigational District (FIND) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). There is an emphasized urgency to place the sand on the beach as soon as possible. The project will not overlap with the 2025 North Sand Placement Project or the 2025 Rattlesnake Island Dredged Material Management Area Offloading project, indicating a strategic approach to beach restoration and coastal management.
