    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.

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.

The erosion problem areas are classified as either critical or non-critical and county maps and tables are provided to depict the areas designated critically and non-critically eroded. Many areas have significant historic or contemporary erosion conditions, yet the erosion processes do not currently threaten public or private interests. These areas are therefore designated as non-critically eroded areas and require close monitoring in case conditions become critical. This report, originating in 1989, is periodically updated to include additions and deletions. All information is provided for planning purposes only and the user is cautioned to obtain the most recent erosion areas listing available in the updated critical erosion report of 2016 on pages 4 through 20 or refer to the specific county of interest listed

In addi- tion, inlets act as flushing agents, providi ng renewal of bay waters by ex- change with outer continental shelf waters. Unfortunately, inlets also con- tr~bute significantly to the serious beach erosion problem prevalent along most of Florida's shoreline.

Chandler (Interpretive Specialist, Fort Matanzas National Monument) For more Florida Standards-based activities in science and social studies, check out http://pelotes.jea.com. Fort Matanzas - The Little Fort with the Big Job Anastasia Island, a long, thin barrier island, stretches for nearly sixteen miles from the St. Augustine Inlet south to the Matanzas Inlet. Behind this island is the Matanzas River. This river and the Matanzas Inlet were called the "backdoor to St. Augustine", and they would be a good way for enemies to try to sneak up on St. Augustine from the rear. The Spanish were concerned about this potential danger, and as early as 1569 they built a wooden watchtower surrounded by a stockade somewhere near the south end of Anastasia Island to keep watch against enemies approaching from the south. This was just a lookout tower as it was not strong enough to hold cannons. If a strange ship was sighted, the Spanish could somehow signal St. Augustine or send a boat with a warning message. No doubt several such towers were built to replace the previous ones which fell down or were washed away, but no sign of any has ever been found. Only Spanish records tell us about the wooden watchtowers at Matanzas.
