OUTLINE Historical Perspective Plan Formulation Alternatives Development Numerical Model Study Alternatives Analysis Performance Evaluation Summary and Recommendations
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE By Late 1980's, Through 1990's, and Into Early 2000's Stump Pass and Adjacent Shorelines Experienced Significant Changes Channel Infilling Reduced Navigational Access, Spit Migration off Manasota Key Resulted in Significant Erosion on Palm Island (downdrift) Shoreline Breaching was Observed Both on State Park Beach as well as Gulf-front Beaches Downdrift of Stump Pass
EROSION CONTROL PROJECT HISTORY HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE 2003: Initial Restoration Placed ~925,000 CY from Stump Pass and Nearshore Area Cut Through Spit Off Manasota Key to Restore 1980 Channel 2006: First Renourishment Placed ~426,000 CY from Stump Pass Modified Channel Alignment 2011: Second Renourishment Placed ~374,000 CY from Stump Pass Created Shorebird Habitat Area CURRENT: Develop New Long-Term Management Plan
PLAN FORMULATION Fill Renourishment and New Structural Complement Restore & Maintain Critically Eroding Beaches Provide Storm Damage Reduction Benefits Along Developed Shoreline Through Engineered Beach Design Provide for Improved Navigation Through Stump Pass Enhance Recreational Opportunities Provide Environmental Protection and Enhancement for T&E Species Apply Adaptive Management
STRUCTURAL DESKTOP SUMMARY PLAN FORMULATION Continue / Modify Beach Renourishment & Maintenance Dredging Terminal Groin (North of Inlet) Terminal Groins (North and South of Inlet) Groin Field (North and / or South of Inlet) Ebb Shoal Restoration Throat Armoring ~ Screened Out Seawalls / Revetment ~ Screened Out Breakwaters ~ Screened Out Innovative Technologies ~ Screened Out Interior Channel Dredging ~ Screened Out
STAKEHOLDER INPUT PLAN FORMULATION Residents of Palm Island Revisited Alternatives and Expressed That They Did Not Favor a Terminal Groin on North End of Palm Island (South Side of Inlet) Instead Preferring a T-groin Field if Alternatives Analysis Determined That a Structural Complement was Beneficial
ALTERNATIVES DEVELOPMENT Detailed Numerical Model Study Conceptual Plans Beach Fills Updrift (180,000 CY) North (40,000 CY) South (200,000 CY) Structural Complements Terminal Groin (MK) Permeable Groin Field (MK) T-groin Field (PI) Ebb Shoal Restoration

DISCUSSION Perm. Groin Field on MK Identified as Preferred Term. Groin Identified as Viable Option Beach Renourishment Remains Critical and is Recommended on an 8-year Cycle Inlet Channel Maintenance Dredging is Recommended on a 4-year Cycle T-groin Field is Recommended as an Adaptive Management Strategy Ebb Shoal Restoration is Also Recommended as an Adaptive Management Strategy
FDEP AND PARK SERVICE INPUT DISCUSSION Florida Park Service Concluded That the Term. Groin was Considered Favorable Concerns of Downdrift Impacts Immediately South of Proposed Terminal Groin (within State Park Beach) were expressed by Florida Park Service Additional modeling was suggested
