FL Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Awards SAJ Permit for Anna Maria Island, Manatee County

In support of the Manatee County FCCE emergency nourishment for Anna Maria Island (Hurricane Debby), a permit was necessary to use a new borrow site at Passage Key Inlet.  Because of the RSM work in Manatee County over the past two years, SAJ-EN-WC was able to provide a rapid response to a request from the FDEP for a CMS model of the borrow site.  Under an extraordinarily short deadline, the model was produced with enough evidence to provide assurances to the FDEP so that they were able to award the permit.  Without the RSM framework for the SW Gulf of FL, it would not have been possible to provide the product requested by the FDEP in the time allotted.  As of 18 September 2013, the Permit is in place and a contract has been awarded to perform the necessary emergency nourishment at Anna Maria Island.  Indeed a success for SAJ.
