Full Public Notice         Project Plans

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The applicant proposes to perform mechanized beach maintenance (cleaning activities) associated with the removal of seaweed (i.e. Sargassum) and other trash/debris along approximately 3,327 linear feet of beach frontage.  Removal will be conducted with front end loaders and/or other bladed machinery.  These activities will involve the discharge of fill material due to incidental fallback into the Gulf of Mexico between the approximate Mean High Water and the 3-foot elevation contour.  The Sargassum and other debris will be relocated temporarily on the upper beach in non-jurisdictional areas near the base or south toe of dunes to naturally decompose.
