Flood_Shoal_Surveys_Summary_Report_3-12-2025_with_Appendicies.pdf

The file "Flood_Shoal_Surveys_Summary_Report_3-12-2025_with_Appendicies.pdf" involves Volusia County, Florida, and documents a comprehensive flood shoal survey for the Ponce de Leon Inlet and Intracoastal Waterway. The survey, conducted in 2024/2025, collected bathymetric and topographic data to identify approximately 1.7 million cubic yards of beach-quality sand suitable for dredging and on-beach placement. The county is seeking professional engineering services to design, permit, and provide environmental oversight, including turtle monitoring, bid administration, and construction administration for the dredging project. The initial sand placement will span from Sunglow Pier in Daytona Beach Shores to Ormond Beach, with approximately 18 cubic yards of sand per linear foot of shoreline.

The project requires compliance with Florida Inland Navigational District (FIND) and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) agreements. The county has not yet determined the final placement location for the remaining sand, the placement profile, or the placement mechanism (truck haul or hydraulic pumping). The project emphasizes urgency in beach sand placement and will not overlap with the 2025 North Sand Placement Project or the 2025 Rattlesnake Island Dredged Material Management Area Offloading project. The survey report and associated data are available in Exhibit A, providing detailed geotechnical and bathymetric information to support the proposed dredging and beach nourishment efforts.
