Coastal Storm Risk Management Project Hutchinson Island, St. Lucie County, FL

Project work includes construction of a dune and beach berm along approximately 3.4 miles of shoreline in St. Lucie County. Placement in St. Lucie County will occur between Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Range Monuments R-98 to R-01 located in Martin County. Beach compatible sand will be dredged from borrow area A1 and A2, located approximately 3.8 nautical miles offshore in Federal waters. Due to the extensive hardbottom areas located offshore of the fill area, offshore pipeline access is limited to specified corridors. Staging area and beach access to the beach placement area is located within St. Lucie County. Work also includes but is not limited to endangered species observers (hopper dredges only), screening, sea turtle trawl sweeping (hopper dredges only), turbidity monitoring, beach tilling, beach fill quality control, screening, MEC construction support, and vibration control and monitoring.
