REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS Annual Countywide & Post-Storm Physical Beach Monitoring Surveys, Ebb Shoal Surveys & South Lake Worth Inlet Sand Trap, Palm Beach County – Conducted with Applied Technology & Management (ATM) for Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management, 2010 through 2016, SDI provided onshore and offshore beach profile data collection at Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) profile control points throughout Palm Beach County and bathymetric surveys of the Jupiter and South Lake Worth ebb shoals and the South Lake Worth Inlet sand trap. Beach profile data were collected in accordance with the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems (BBCS) Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects prepared by the Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). During the course of field data collection, digital photographs were taken at approximate mid-beach along each profile line, capturing monument, shore-parallel north and south of the profile and one towards the monument location. SDI also provided emergency post-storm beach profile monitoring surveys of impacted areas. Town of Palm Beach Annual Physical Coastal Monitoring Program – Since 2010 through present day (2018), SDI has performed physical monitoring surveys along the Town of Palm Beach coastline, providing the necessary information for ATM and the Town of Palm Beach to plan, design, and monitor the beach conditions. Topographic (onshore) and hydrographic (offshore) beach profiles are conducted annually along Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) profiles R-73 through R135, for a total of sixty-seven (67) profiles. Post-storm events are conducted in areas of concern upon request. Sand Search Investigation at Jupiter Borrow Area and Artificial Reef Site – In 2015, SDI performed an extensive sand search investigation with Olsen Associates, SEA (geological analysis), Sonographics (remote sensing), and Tidewater Atlantic Research (cultural resources) for Palm Beach County ERM. The Jupiter sand search project encompassed approximately 100 line miles of data collection based on east-west transects spaced at intervals of 100-feet, with an additional 10 line miles of data collection along several north-south transects. The proposed artificial reef site, situated between R-44 and R-48, encompassed 22 lines miles of data collection. 177
