About 3.4 miles of beach from Normandy Beach Park to the Martin County line were nourished via placement of about 635,000 cubic yards of sand on the beach and 280,000 plants on the restored dune crest. As part of preparations for the 2013 project, in 2012, the County obtained Temporary Easements from each property owner in the project area. These Temporary Easements authorized a limited use of the seaward portion of each property by the County to construct, repair, nourish, rehabilitate and replace a beach and dune over the limits of construction ... from the landward toe of the dune to the mean high water line; these project specific Temporary Easements expired on March 1, 2016. The USACE is the agency designated by Congress to protect the nation's shores from the chronic effects of erosion and coastal flooding. After completion of studies by the USACE-Jacksonville District, the U.S. Congress authorized a 50-year federal cost -shared beach project through America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018. The USACE is expected to place sand on the project beaches to help reduce the threat of coastal storm damage and avoid the high costs of coastal storm damage as part of the Congressionally -authorized project in coordination with St. Lucie County. To effectuate the federal project, the County must obtain Easements for construction and maintenance of the federal project - comparable to the Easements obtain for the 2013 project, but with a longer duration to cover all future USACE and County efforts to construct and maintain the federal project. USACE regulations relative to Real Estate Acquisition (ER 405-1-11) include provisions for Perpetual Construction Easements so as to avoid property rights interference with operation of the project by the USACE and County. As required by Florida Statutes (161.191), an Erosion Control Line (ECL) was established by the County prior to construction of the 2013 project; the ECL effectively corresponded to the mean high water boundary between Page 12 of 38 state sovereign lands and the adjacent upland property. All lands seaward of the ECL remain vested to the state by right of its sovereignty; the lands landward of the ECL remain vested to the upland owner. Perpetual Construction Easements are required for sand placement for areas landward of the ECL. Attached for your review and acceptance is a Perpetual Beach Storm Damage Reduction Easement from Lake Garden Development Incorporated. PREVIOUS ACTION: October 2, 2012 - Board approved the 2013 South County Beach and Dune Restoration Project. January 23, 2018 - Board action to ratify and approve the extension of federal and state permits associated with the previously completed 2013 South County Beach and Dune Restoration Project; permits extended through 2028. December 17, 2019 - Public Hearing advertised and subsequent Board approval of Resolution No. 2019-286 establishing the definitions and physical boundaries for a proposed South Hutchinson Island Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU). September 2020 - Board approved the South Hutchinson Island MSTU during final FY-20/21 budget meeting. November 10, 2020 - Board approved the St. Lucie County, Florida Coastal Storm Risk Management Project, Project Partnership Agreement. December 9, 2020 - St. Lucie County receives a USACE official Project Land's Request, including a specific request for Perpetual Construction Easements along the proposed federal beach project area. December 15, 2020 - Board approved the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as co -applicant on St. Lucie County's existing FDEP Permit No. 0154626-001 and pre -authorize minor USACE permit modification requests needed to develop plans and attain state permits consistent with the project's congressional authorization. FINANCIAL IMPACT: N/A - Easement being donated. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board accept the Perpetual Beach Storm Damage Reduction Easement, authorize the Chair to sign the resolution and direct staff to record the documents in the public records of St. Lucie County, Florida.

David, Mosquito Control & Coastal Management Services Director FROM: Richard A. Bouchard, P.E., Sr. Coastal Engineer DATE: October 2, 2012 SUBJECT: South County Beach & Dune Restoration Project ITEM NO. II -A Background: St. Lucie County has initiated a non-federal project to address the severely deteriorated conditions of the South County shoreline while paralleling the development of a federal shore protection project to provide for future re -nourishment of the beaches in the project area. A benefit based funding plan was developed for this one-time local beach and dune project that includes three funding sources; State funding at 43%, Erosion District Zone E reserve funding at 23% and Special Assessment District (SAD) funding at 34%. After numerous meetings, workshops and public bearings the Board approved the assessment role and levied assessments against each parcel within the SAD on September 4, 2012. The following are all companion items that require formal Board action in order for this project to proceed: FDEP Grant Agreement 13SL1 and Budget Resolution 12-010: The Florida Beach Erosion Control Program (FBECP) is a Long -Range Budget Plan administered through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to assist eligible local governments with their beach erosion control projects. A large portion of the efforts to date on the South County Beach Restoration project has been funded through this program, more specifically through FDEP Project Agreement 11 SL1. This new grant agreement will include additional state funding of $4,609,495 and a maximum local match of $5,989,482. A small portion of these grant funds are intended for reimbursement of recent pre -construction and permitting activities associated with this project which were performed utilizing Erosion District funds. The remaining state grant funds will be used in conjunction with SAD and Erosion District funds to promote construction and monitoring activities as outlined below. Budget Resolution 12-010 establishing the grant funding is also attached. Recommendation (9): Board approval of the draft FDEP Project Agreement 13SL1 and Budget Resolution No. 12-010 and authorization for the Chairman to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney.

D AGENDA REQUEST *CONSENT AGENDA TO: Erosion District PRESENTED BY: Richard Bouchard, Senior Coastal Engineer SUBMITTED BY: Erosion District SUBJECT: South County Beach and Dune Restoration Project (Permit Extensions) BACKGROUND: At the request of beachfront property owners St. Lucie County completed a non-federal project to address the severely deteriorated conditions of the South County shoreline. Concurrently, the development of a federal shore protection project is underway to provide for future re -nourishment of the beaches in the project area. The one-time local project encompassed approximately 3.3 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline, from Martin County north to Normandy Beach Park and was completed in May 2013. Substantial effort and resources went into securing state and federal permits this project. Prior to allowing these 5-year permits to lapse, staff contacted the regulatory agencies to initiate 10-year extensions. Maintaining these permits will most likely be very beneficial in the future with the proposed federalization or potential FEMA claims. It would also be very costly and time consuming to reactivate these permits once they expire. Staff recommends extending these permits an additional 10-years. 23:W191111re[41L91i•F October 2, 2012 - Board approval of the South County Beach and Dune Restoration Project. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with this action. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Erosion District Board ratify and approve the extension of federal and state permits for the South County Beach and Dune Restoration Project.

RES-2019-286 PUBLIC HEARINGS -PUBLIC WORKS DATE: 12/17/2019 *RESOLUTION ITEM - BOARD APPROVAL QUASI-JUDICIAL ITEM? NO SUBJECT: South Hutchinson Island MSTU Option "A", SHI Beach Erosion Control MSTU BACKGROUND: The County is currently investigating the feasibility of several options to partially fund the cost of providing ongoing beach and dune restoration improvements associated with a Federal beach project (from Normandy Beach south, approximately 3.4 miles, to the Martin County line). The following options are those relating to the creation of Municipal Services Taxing Units ("MSTUs"). On South Hutchinson Island, from Normandy Beach to the Martin County line, there are approximately 2848 taxable parcels east of A1A and 3430 taxable parcels west of A1A. Per Section 40-59 of the St. Lucie County Code of Ordinances, in order to preserve the County's option to levy ad valorem taxes in the MSTUs starting in 2020, the County must hold advertised public hearings and create the MSTUs prior to January 1, 2020. The creation of the MSTUs does not in any way obligate the County to levy ad valorem taxes; rather, it simply preserves the County's option to do so, if it is found to be the most feasible funding option. The determination as to how much ad valorem revenue to be raised in the MSTUs, if any, and the corresponding millage rate for each MSTU would be determined by the Board during its budget deliberations next year. Option "A" would be to create one MSTU to levy ad valorem taxes on all of the parcels on South Hutchinson Island from Normandy Beach to the Martin County line. If this option is chosen, all of the parcels within the MSTU (both east and west of A1A) would share the same millage rate to fund future beach and dune restoration projects within the MSTU boundary. This option was suggested by the Presidents Council. Option "B" would be to create an MSTU to levy ad valorem taxes on all of the parcels east of A1A from Normandy Beach to the Martin County line. This option would encompass all taxable parcels with beach frontage. Page 27 of 38 Option "C" would be to create an MSTU to levy ad valorem taxes on all of the parcels west of A1A from Normandy Beach to the Martin County line. In order to allow the Board the greatest flexibility to set and adjust separate millage rates for parcels east and west of A1A, Staff recommends a combination of Option "B" and Option "C". Creating two separate MSTUs (SHI East and SHI West) would allow Staff and the Board to research and determine a fair and equitable millage rate for each side of A1A based on the level of benefit the parcels would receive from the improvements. This would not restrict the Board from levying the same millage rate for both MSTUs if doing so is determined to be the most reasonable option. County agenda software does not allow multiple resolutions to be attached to one agenda item; therefore, each MSTU option will be considered during separate public hearings. This is the public hearing for Option "A", SHI Beach Erosion Control MSTU. PREVIOUS ACTION: November 19, 2019 - Board granted permission to advertise these public hearings. FINANCIAL IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board's disapproval of the attached resolution, SHI Beach Erosion Control MSTU.

This reconnaissance report recommended that the "study proceed into the feasibility phase", which was eventually initiated in 2004. Shortly afterwards, the USACE re-scoped the Federal project (reducing the proposed project area) and approved it as part of their 3x3x3 Plan; eventually receiving federal funding to move the study forward. While in the feasibility phase, storm events (including Hurricane Sandy) impacted South County Beaches. The storm damages experienced after these events warranted quick/specific action. St. Lucie County, with support from the State of Florida and local stakeholders, initiated construction of a one-time, non-federal beach restoration project in April 2013 while federal efforts continued. The project consisted of the nourishment of 3.4 miles of FDEP designated "critically eroded" Atlantic shoreline from FDEP monument R-98 (Normandy Beach) to the Martin County line (R-115). The project included placement of approximately 635,164 cubic yards of beach compatible sand from St. Lucie Shoal and was partially funded through a Special Assessment District (SAD) created for the project. A nearshore limestone boulder mitigation reef was also completed to offset project related hard -bottom impacts. Eventually, the South St. Lucie County, Florida Storm Risk Management Project Feasibility Study was completed and approved; receiving a signed Chief's Report (December 15, 2017) and federal Congressional authorization (2018 WRDA Bill). In addition, Erosion District Staff diligently pursued and secured approximately $6.4 million in state grant funds from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the initial federal beach project (FDEP Grant 19SL4 and 20SL3) and unilaterally increased the level of federal participation by 7% by creating additional public beach access at County owned beach parks. To help fund future construction efforts associated with this project, the St. Lucie County BOCC drafted and subsequently approved the South Hutchinson Island Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU). Page 30 of 38 Since 2013, persistent beach erosion has continued to impact this stretch of coastline, and the previously executed project is now quickly approaching its design life expectancy (10 years). In addition, this beach area has received significant damages from Hurricane Matthew (2016), Hurricane Irma (2017), Hurricane Dorian (2019), and Hurricane Isaias (2020). The increased frequency of storm events along our coast naturally promotes the need for a long-term beach management plan/strategy. The attached Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) includes such a plan, and it is seen as the best option for the long-term stability of the southern Atlantic shoreline of St. Lucie County. Future federal participation not only assists in partially funding future beach nourishment efforts but also enhances the County's ranking in future state Beach Management Funding Assistance requests, which includes ranking metrics contingent on the level of federal participation. Execution of the attached Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) is required for the USACE to officially initiate efforts associated with the proposed federal beach project. The attached agreement includes provisions that allow permit required physical and biological monitoring to be eligible for future work in -kind credit. Non - Federal funding for the initial beach project is required prior to July 2021. Absent of federal participation, the County/local residents would be responsible for funding, initiating, and managing all future beach nourishment effort along this stretch of beach. PREVIOUS ACTION: 1999 - St. Lucie County's Erosion District initiates process to seek federal support and management of St. Lucie County's southern beaches at the direct request of South Hutchinson Island residents. 2004 - Erosion District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) sign feasibility cost sharing agreement as first major step towards beach federalization. Major coastal storm impacts from Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. 2005-2007 - Emergency dune restoration takes place with Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding. 2013 - South County Beach impacts from Hurricane Sandy. Erosion District coordinates a one-time emergency beach nourishment project in response to beachfront residents' requests. Beach and dune restoration completed for approximately 3.4 miles of shoreline from the Martin County line north to Normandy Beach Park. 2017-2018 — Feasibility report completed and Congress authorizes the St. Lucie County, Florida Storm Risk Management Project in the 2018 Water Resources Development Act (WRDA); including a fifty (50) year project life. Federal Share of construction funded in Bipartisan Act of 2018 (PL 115-123). March 2019 — St. Lucie County successfully petitioned and receives a construction timeline extension; initial beach project construction re -scheduled for winter 2021/spring 2022. December 2019 — Public Hearing advertised and subsequent Board approval of Resolution 2019-286 establishing the definitions and physical boundaries for a proposed South Hutchinson Island Municipal Page 31 of 38 Services Taxing Unit (MSTU). September 2020 - County approves the South Hutchinson Island MSTU during final FY-20/21 budget meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT: As of the effective date of this Agreement, total construction costs are projected (by the USACE) to be $114,794,000 over the proposed fifty (50) year project life. This includes one (1) initial beach nourishment event and two (2) follow-up re -nourishment events. The non-federal/local share of the fifty (50) year project duration is estimated at $81,968,000, with a $32,826,000 federal contribution. The total cost of the initial nourishment event (scheduled for Fy-2022/2023) is estimated at $22,894,000, consisting of an $8,013,000 federal (35%) and $14,881,000 (65%) non-federal/local cost share arrangement. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Board approval of the St. Lucie County, Florida Coastal Storm Risk Management Project, Project Partnership Agreement (and associated documents) and authorization for the Chair to sign those documents as approved by the County Attorney.

Meanwhile, the County continued to pursue a federal shore protection project along the same shoreline. In 2018 a feasibility study for the federal project was approved by Congress. Concurrently, federal funding for initial construction was provided in the Bipartisan Act of 2018. After successfully petitioning for and receiving a construction timeline extension in early 2019, St. Lucie County's BOCC approved the South Hutchinson Island Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU) in September 2020 to help fund the non-federal/non-state share of proposed construction. Subsequently, the BOCC approved the Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for the 50 year federal project on November 10, 2020. In preparation for initial construction (proposed winter 2021/spring 2022) staff is actively pursuing perpetual construction easements required for project bidding (July 2021). After preliminary discussions with both the USACE and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and considering the similarities between the proposed federal and 2013 projects, it was determined that a minor permit modification to the County's existing state permit was the preferred permitting path for all parties. As a co -applicant, the USACE can avoid duplicative submissions and reviews already performed during the 2013 project, resulting in efficiency and cost savings. To do this, the County would need to request that the USACE be added as a co - applicant to existing permit No. 0154626-001-JC. As a co -applicant, the USACE will proposed modifications to the original design and help negotiate permit requirements consistent with the federal authorization, eventually attaining state permitting approval for initial construction. As co -applicants, County staff and our hired professional consultants will actively coordinate with USACE staff in all future modification requests to the state. PREVIOUS ACTION: Page 36 of 38 October 2, 2012 — Board approval of the 2013 South County Beach and Dune Restoration Project. January 23, 2018 — Board action to ratify and approve the extension of both federal and state permits associated with the previously completed 2013 South County Beach and Dune Restoration Project (Item No. 4965); permits extended through 2028. FINANCIAL IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board approve the USACE as a co -applicant on St. Lucie County's existing FDEP Permit No. 0154626-001 and pre -authorize minor USACE permit modification requests needed to developed plans and attain state permits consistent with the project's congressional authorization; including approval for the Chair to sign documents associated with minor permit modification(s), as requested by the USACE and approved by the County Attorney.
