Erosion of Beach 6000 Building - Member Fernstrum ID 21-1966 Erosion of Beach 6000 Building The Board discussed the erosion of the beach at the 6000 building, and that it seems to be diminishing rapidly. Perhaps a renourishment plan would help, but the expertise of Mr. Dabees or Mr. Poff may be required identify the best solution. An estimate is needed for a plan, but nothing is in the budget at this time. b. Inland Over Wash During Last Storm - Member Ryan ID 21-1967 Inland Over Wash During Last Storm A video taken on October 30th during the last storm, and shared by Member Ryan, showed Sand Dollar Island being completely covered by water and washing sand into the lagoon. The seagrass is mostly gone in the channel and the Manatees are not able to feed. At low tide, the Manatees are starting to get stranded on the beach. c. Report Upcoming Permits- Michael Poff ID 21-1968 Report Upcoming Permits Mr. Michael Poff, updated the Board that he has the draft permit in hand from the Department of Environmental Protection with some new permit conditions that are required. He also noted that the erosion at the 6000 Building had recovered in the past and, perhaps in time, it will recover naturally. With the permits now in hand, the Board can move sand from an accretional area to an erosional area, truck in sand, or pump sand from the bar area in the same construction area and then truck it to the 6000 location. Mr. Poff's suggestion was to wait at least until the next meeting to see if there are any changes, better or worse, and make a determination at that time. d. Report Upcoming Permits- Mohamed Dabees ID 21-1969 Report Upcoming Permits Mr. Dabees reported that Humiston & Moore is monitoring the over wash at Sand Dollar Island. An update on the permit status is complete, but still awaiting approval. More requirements and questions have been raised by the State and the Fish and Wildlife Commission, which H & M is continuing to address. The work preferably needs to be done around the bird and turtle nesting seasons, pushing the project to possibly next November to accommodate this. e.
