Legislative districts in which the project site is located: State Senate 15th State House 80th PROJECT DESCRIPTION "PROJECT IS TO DIRECTLY BENEFIT RECREATIONAL BOATERS 1. Briefly describe the proposed project. If this is a Category 2 project, which is to fund a publication, boater's guide or study, please outline the kinds of information to be included in the document (an attachment, not to exceed one page may be attached). The proposed project is to extend the Sebastian Yacht Club Boat Ramp by 36 feet into the water. Elements of this project include using 36, precast concrete slabs to' extend the existing boat ramp, preparing the submerged soil by excavating and backfilling as needed, and driving sheet - piles into the submerged soil around the perimeter of the submerged boat ramp to prevent erosion of the soil located under the boat ramp. Page 2 of 5 a. Environmental needs of the area. Preservation of the Indian River Lagoon is of the utmost importance. This project provides environmental improvement by preventing erosion from under the boat ramp and by creating an approved launching area for -boaters. Erosion control is extremely important in maintaining a healthy ecosystem in the Indian River Lagoon. An approved launching facility discourages people from creating their own ramps which leads to further soil erosion and decimation of land along the river banks. b. Boating safety needs of the area. Due to the large number of boaters in Sebastian and the surrounding area, safe launching facilities are very necessary. At present, the end of the existing ramp has been undermined. This has led to breakage of the con- crete at the end of the ramp. Also, there are several large deep holes at the end of the ramp making it hard for the boaters to retrieve their trailers from out of the holes. This creates a dangerous situation. By extending the boat ramp, a safer retrieval will be facilitated. 3. Please explain the need for this project. Need should be based on studies, planning documents, engineering opinions on existing conditions, or other similar documentation. Please reference this documentation in your explanation of need. The Sebastian Yacht Club Boat Ramp is existing, and its need 'and use have been established. This ramp attracts users from all over the surrounding region due to its access to the Indian River Lagoon and its close proximity to the Sebastian Inlet. The boat ramp extension will attract more users by making it easier and safer to use. 4. Please identify the number of motorized vessels that will benefit from this project. .Currently, there are 9,297 motorized vessels registered in Indian River County. Approximately 50% are launched from marinas or private piers. 5. Please answer the following questions pertaining to your project: a. How will this project improve boating access? The ramp extension will make this facility much more accessible to the public by making boat launching and retrieval easier and safer. Now, boaters have a difficult time using this ramp because of the deteri- oration of the end of the ramp. b. Are other funding sources being used for this project? There are no current funding sources for this project. The City of Sebastian can use'Discretionary Sales Tax for a match, if required. c. What is the status of project permitting? (Please check all that apply) Permits Obtained Permits Pending Plan to apply Permits not required DEP Permits X Water Management Permits X Local Permits X Federal Permits X Other: U.S.A.C.O.E.

Please include additional information you wish to be considered by reviewers in their evaluation of your project. The City of Sebastian has insufficient financial resources available to meet its total water resource needs; therefore, this grant is critical in order to create an accessible public launching facility. The improvements to this ramp will greatly facilitate recreational motorized boating on marine and estuarine waters within the state of Florida. It will also aid in preservation of these waters by prevent erosion and the inappropriate use of the shorelines. "The Indian River Lagoon is home to more than 4,300 species of animal and plants. There are many popular game fish which attracts .many boaters from all over the region. The Lagoon's populations of game fish, manatees, sea turtles, wading birds, and dolphins make it the most diverse estuary on Earth. Its preservation is essential. I hereby certify that the information provided in this application is true and accurate. I further certify that I possess the authority to apply for this grant on behalf of the applicant. d w' Aug. 28. 1998 Signature of Authorized epresentative Date of Governing Body 1 homgs (L).
