IMMEDIATE

  • Follow the most expeditious path to construction

LONG-TERM

  • Integrate cost efficiencies
  • Seek continued Federal participation

EFFECTIVE PROJECT APPROACH

15 Proven Success for Broward County

slide-16
SLIDE 16
  • Reconstruct the Segment III Authorized Plan

– Permitted and Constructed (2005-06) – Project performance exceeded expectations – Prior impacts mitigated – Known sand sources

  • Preferable route: use the 2004 General Reevaluation Report (GRR)
  • Alternatively, complete a Limited Reevaluation Report (LRR)

– This was successfully accomplished with the Segment II project

  • MUST AVOID costly and time-consuming Beach-fx study

DON’T REINVENT THE WHEEL

  • Avoid additional hardbottom impacts and mitigation
  • Minimize time for Federal coordination, PPA, and Permits
  • Maximize cost-sharing opportunities

16 Proven Success for Broward County

slide-17
SLIDE 17
  • Incorporate dunes as a local project action

– Dunes can be constructed with beach fill – Seek supplemental funding sources

  • Presently, dunes will not qualify for Federal reimbursement
  • Seek expansion of PE Adaptation Action Area
  • FEMA reimbursement for storm impacts

– Stakeholder outreach and education is essential

LOW RISK PROJECT IMPROVEMENT

Increase Coastal Resiliency

17 Proven Success for Broward County

Segment II (2016)

slide-18
SLIDE 18
  • Incorporate project efficiencies:

– Sand bypassing from Port Everglades – High-frequency, small “hot-spot” beach fills – Coastal structures (Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park) – Strategic Retreat

  • Seek a time extension to the existing Federal project authorization

– Continued benefits from Federal funding and priority for State funding – This will require a more rigorous planning process

LONG-TERM: REDUCE COST

Maximize benefit of available financial and sand resources

18 Proven Success for Broward County

slide-19
SLIDE 19
  • Largest Federal truck-haul project permitted and completed in Florida
  • Use and permitting of upland sand on a very large scale
