Your request to perform advanced maintenance in subject channel is approved subject to completing all appropriate environmental documentation, coordination, and clearance. Approval of the Memorandum of Agreement with the Florida Inland Navigation District is also required. 2. You should continue to monitor the cost of maintenance to assure that the proposed advanced maintenance dredging results in the least costly method of maintaining the channel. FOR THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES: ~&Peei JR., PE~ . Chief, Construction-Operations ~ Directorate of Engineering and Technical Services !<. c v ~...': 7 Yv / 9 7 DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY JACKSONVILLE DISTRICT CORPS OF ENGINEERS P. 0. BOX 4970 JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA 32232-0019 REPLY TO ATTENTION OF CESAJ-CO (ll-2-240a) 21 June 1997 ~MORANDUM FOR CDR, USAED (CESAD-ET-CO-M), ATLANTA, GA 30335 SUBJECT: Advanced Maintenance Dredging of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (IWW) Jacksonville to Miami, in the Vicinity of Bakers Haulover Inlet, Dade County, Florida 1. Reference ER 1130-2-520. 2. Advanced maintenance dredging is proposed for the IWW in the vicinity of Bakers Haulover Inlet to reduce the frequency of dredging required for this reach of the IWW. The advanced maintenance will provide the most efficient and cost effective solution for maintaining the channel at project depths. The authorized project is 125 feet wide with a depth of 10 feet mean low water. Overdepth dredging is not an option because existing project depth was attained by excavating through rock. Recent dredging contracts in this portion of the IWW provided a safe navigation channel for less than a year. Within a year after dredging, complaints from the Coast Guard and users of this reach of the IWW have been received. The channel is presently reported to be 50 feet wide and 6 feet deep, and is able to serve only navigation interests with very shallow drafts. 3. Enclosure 1 is an Area Map which shows the location of the project. Bakers Haulover Inlet is a man-made inlet, with a relatively high top of rock elevation throughout its flood tide shoal. Enclosure 2 provides a hydrographic survey overlayed onto the Federal inlet channel and IWW channel. Please note the area for which we are requesting advanced maintenance coincides with the flood tide shoal. Enclosure 3 shows the top of rock elevations in the area. We intend to dredge the flood tide CESAJ-CO SUBJECT: Advanced Maintenance Dredging of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (IWW) Jacksonville to Miami, in the Vicinity of Bakers Haulover Inlet, Dade County, Florida shoal down to two feet above rock, which will create a settling basin. In the past when the IWW channel was dredged, the dredging effectively just cut off the western edge of this flood tide shoal, and as the inlet processes continued, the flood tide shoal simply extended back into the IWW channel. A Water Quality Certificate for doing this work has been submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. All dredged material will be placed on Bal Harbour Beach. 4. According to the project cost estimate, the total cost to dredge the 22,000 cubic yards of material in the IWW would be $661,900. Alternatively, the total cost to dredge the 142,000 cubic yards in the flood tide shoal (including the IWW portion) would be $1,359,525. Since all the material to be dredged is beach quality, it would be placed on Bal Harbour Beach, located immediately south of Bakers Haulover Inlet. Enclosure 4 compares the dredging costs for the with and without advanced maintenance alternative. We anticipate that the frequency of dredging is a non-linear function proportional to the quantities dredged. We predict that by dredging this settling basin, the dredging frequency would be reduced from the annual requirement to a four­ year period. This would result in a project savings of over $1,288,000 every four years, and at the same time producing a channel that would be truly navigable for four years or possibly more. 5. ER 1130-2-520 allows the District to perform advanced maintenance dredging with your permission. Without your approval, the District will have to dredge the channel every year to every other year. Consequently, the district will fail to maintain the project at authorized dimensions during portions of the interval and maintenance of the channel will cost more. Prior to future advanced maintenance for this location of the IWW, the District will evaluate and affirm the effectiveness of advanced maintenance. CESAJ-CO SUBJECT: Advanced Maintenance of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (IWW) Jacksonville to Miami, in the Vicinity of Bakers Haulover Inlet, Dade County, Florida 6. Request approval of subject advanced maintenance for the area shown at Enclosure 2. The Florida Inland Navigation District (as local sponsor) , is willing to pay for the additional cost of the first advanced maintenance activity. A Memorandum of Agreement to accept their funds is being processed.

    FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, TO MIAMI, FLORIDA MAINTENANCE DREDGING Prepared by U. S. Army Engineer District, Jacksonville Jacksonville, Florida May 1974 INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY. JACKSONVILLE TO MIAMI MAINTENANCE DREDGING ( ) Draft (X) Final Responsible Office: U. S. Army Engineer District, Jacksonville, Florida. 1. Name of Action: (X) Administrative ( ) Legislative 2. Description of Action: Eleven shoals are to be removed from this section of the Intracoastal Waterway as a part of the regular main­ tenance program. 3. a. Environmental Impacts. About 172,200 cubic yards of shoal material in the channel will be removed by hydraulic dredge and placed in diked upland areas and as nourishment on a county park beach south of Jupiter Inlet. b. Adverse Environmental Effects. Dredging will have a temporary adverse effect on water quality and will destroy benthic organisms in both the shoal material and on the beach. In addition, some turtle nests at the beach nourishment site may be destroyed. 4. Alternatives. Consideration was given to alternate methods of spoil disposal. It was determined that the methods selected (as described in paragraph 1) would best accomplish the purpose of the project while minimizing adverse impact on the environment. 5.

    Filing # 86133755 E-Filed 03/08/2019 06:28:15 PM IN THE FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA JOSE OLIVIA, in his official capacity as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, et al., Appellants, CASE NO. 1D18-3141 LT CASE Nos. 2015-CA-001423 v. 2015-CA-002682 FLORIDA WILDLIFE FEDERATION, INC., et al., Appellees, _________________________________/ REPLY TO APPELLANT LEGISLATIVE PARTIES’ RESPONSE TO WATERKEEPERS FLORIDA’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF APPELLEES Waterkeepers Florida respectfully submits this Reply to the Appellant Legislative Parties’ (Appellants) Response to Waterkeepers Florida’s Motion for Leave to File an Amicus Curiae Brief in order to address mischaracterizations and factual inaccuracies made by Appellants in their Response, and states as follows: RECEIVED, 03/08/2019 06:28:33 PM, Clerk, First District Court of Appeal 1 I. APPELLANTS MISCHARACTERIZE WATERKEEPERS FLORIDA AS “LITTLE MORE THAN AN ALTER EGO OF ST. JOHNS RIVERKEEPER.”1 Contrary to the characterization of Waterkeepers Florida that was made in the Appellants’ Response, Waterkeepers Florida is not at all an “alter ego” of St. Johns Riverkeeper. It is, in fact, a separate entity comprised of multiple waterkeeper organizations across the state (of which the St. Johns Riverkeeper is one) each having equal input as to Waterkeeper Florida’s activities. Waterkeepers Florida is composed of thirteen (13) separate Waterkeeper organizations working in the State of Florida. Therefore, the issues addressed, the geography covered, and the number of participants in Waterkeepers Florida extends far beyond that of the St. Johns Riverkeeper organization, and the implication by Appellants that Waterkeepers Florida is merely an alias for a single member organization is false.

Archaeological and Historic Preservation Consultants Atlanta, Georgia Charleston, South Carolina Jacksonville, Florida MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This project was initiated in August of 2008 by Bland & Associates, Incorporated (BAI) of Jacksonville, Florida. The goal of this project was to identify and record a specific type of historic resource located within rural areas of St. Johns County in the general vicinity of Elkton and Hastings. This assessment was specifically designed to examine structures listed on the St. Johns County Property Appraiser’s website as being built prior to 1920. The survey excluded the area of incorporated Hastings. The survey goals were to develop a historic context for the farmhouses in the area, and to make an assessment of the farmhouses with an emphasis towards individual and thematic National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) potential. Florida Master Site File (FMSF) forms in a SMARTFORM II database format were completed on all newly surveyed structures, and updated on all previously recorded structures within the survey area.
