BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
Manasota Key is critically eroded extending from Sarasota County to the limit of Charlotte County’s prior beach renourishment. Beach renourishment has been ongoing since 2003. Several hurricanes and tropical storms have caused additional damage. A Manasota Key Beach Erosion Study was performed in 2016 which further documented the urgent need to implement a plan to restore this area. Amendment 3 will increase FDEP’s share by $259,154.00 for a total of $1,799,087.00 and the local share is increased by $432,846.00 for a total of $3,212,500.66. Funds will be used for reimbursement of work associated with Charlotte County Erosion Control Project and Manasota Key Beach Restoration Project for reimbursement of design, construction and monitoring work.
