SHORE PROTECTION PROJECT, ANNA MARIA ISLAND, BEACH RENOURISHMENT 2020, MANATEE COUNTY, FLORIDA

The proposed project is to nourish approximately 5.5 miles of shoreline Anna Maria Island using beach compatible material. Work consists of beach fill between R-12 to R-41+305. The primary sand source will be located in Passage Key Inlet ebb shoal. The fill template design includes a berm crest elevation of +4.0 feet North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88). The seaward face of the berm has a slope of 1v:14h from R-12 to R-33 and a slope of 1v:15h for R-33 to R-41+305. The cut depths at the borrow areas vary from 14 feet to 27 feet with a two-foot disturbance depth. Project work also includes, but is not limited to, beach tilling, construction/vibration control and monitoring, turbidity monitoring, pipeline corridor mapping, endangered species monitoring, sea turtle trawl-sweeping (hopper dredges only), beach fill remediation, and incidental related work.
