The purpose of this document is to define and compile technical standards and <br />specifications for project-specific data acquisition and processing and to provide a standard for <br />systematic physical data collection for the monitoring of erosion control projects <br /> <br />We have used the techniques prescribed in the “Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion <br />Control” to prepare topographic mapping of seawalls and piers, locate and stake the Coastal <br />Construction Control Line (CCCL), and compile transects on beach and water front properties. <br />Additionally, we have prepared Digital Terrain Models (DTM) of beach and dune areas; the <br />DTMs were used to determine sand depths and volumes placed as part of beach replenishment <br />projects and beach walk installation and renovation projects. <br /> <br />In order to perform hydrographic surveys, Maser Consulting owns and operates a 19 foot <br />aluminum Monark Survey Boat equipped with a 150hp Johnson outboard. This boat is used for <br />hydrographic surveys of bay bottoms, the Intracoastal Waterway, harbor and marinas, and <br />ocean/beach nourishment survey Projects. We also have 16 foot and 12 foot aluminum jon boats <br />for canal work and cross-sections. All are maintained and reside at the Miami office of Maser <br />Consulting P.A. located at 8290 NW 64th Street, Miami, FL 33166. <br /> <br />Horizontal and Vertical Control will be maintained by our experienced Survey crews operating <br />our Trimble and Topcon Survey Grade GPS and Total Stations. Hydrographic Survey Data will <br />be collected via Multi-beam and Side Scan hardware in conjunction with HYPACK <br />Hydrographic Survey and Processing Software. <br /> <br />The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Disaster Assistance Fact Sheet <br />DAP9580.8 “Eligible Sand Replacement on Public Beaches” outlines the eligibility criteria for <br />public assistance funding through the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency <br />Assistance Act. The Act authorizes FEMA's Public Assistance (PA) Program to fund <br />replacement of sand on damaged public beaches under certain conditions, with eligibility divided <br />into two areas: emergency work and permanent work. <br /> <br />Emergency work on beaches typically includes the construction of a temporary sand berm to <br />protect against additional damage from a five-year storm. The work must be cost-effective as <br />defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR §206.225(a)(3)(ii)) and eliminate or lessen <br /> <br />LOR Page 11 of 52
