10. Performance Sediment Transport Rate Performance 30% greater w/ 0.6mm sand than use of 0.23 mm sand North fill performance approximately 6-8 years South fill performance approximately 5 years

11. Performance 25-Year Storm Event Profiles R-130 Monument

12. Impacts Hardbottom & ETOF - North

13. Impacts Hardbottom & ETOF - South

14. Permitting Permitting Issues Hardbottom impacts – 2.1 acres Mitigation location – north R-110 Sea turtle nesting season Sea turtle foraging habitat - hardbottom Acropora, survey for species and consult Cumulative impacts analysis for fill Permitting Issues Resolved Borrow area Compatibility of sand/fines Use of borrow area sand for non-critically eroded beach Substantial reduction in hardbottom impacts Processing and Mitigation Timeframe = 14-24 months Est. Design & Permitting Fees = $300,000 Est. Monitoring Costs = $300,000/year Est. Mitigation Cost = $2,250,000

15. Conclusions & Recommendations Project is feasible Project would provide additional protection from 25-yr storm Project performance would be 5-8 yrs Project construction time ~ 4 months Project addresses petitioner’s concerns Based on reduced impacts and compatible sand Project is permittable Permitting time ~ 14-24 months Maximum permittable project in foreseeable future Serve as an interim measure until Reach 7 renourishments stabilize Recommendation - Proceed with Truck Haul Renourishment

16. Next Steps Decision by Town Council to Proceed with Project JCP Coastal Systems full design and prepare JCP permit application Peer Review of JCP permit application and Approach
