Aproximately 50.2 Mcy of dredged material have been removed from Canaveral Harbor, as 

 shown in Table F-l. Approximately 22 Mcy were removed as a result of new work (initial 

 construction) and 28.2 Mcy were removed from maintenance of the Harbor. Prior to April 1974, 

 approximately 13.2 Mcy of dredged material from Canaveral Harbor was placed in the offshore 

 disposal site shown on Figure F-l. Another 499,700 cy were placed in upland disposal areas. 

 Approximately 120,000 and 200,000 cy were placed in the beach disposal area shown on 

 Figure F-l in 1965 and 1972, respectively. Since April 1974, upland, offshore, beach, and 

 nearshore (0.9 Mcy) disposal locations have been used. The total dredged-material disposal 

 placed in these areas is shown on Figure F-2. In April 1974, the offshore disposal site was 

 changed to an area further offshore. The area of this "interim" offshore disposal area was 

 3 square nautical miles. The interim offshore disposal area was increased in size to 4 square 

 nautical miles and designated as an Offshore Dredged-Material Disposal Site (ODMDS) by the 

 Environmental Protection Agency in 1990. A total of 21 Mcy have been placed in the ODMDS 

 for Canaveral Harbor since April 1974. 



F.2. Brevard County, Florida, Shore-Protection Project 



The 1968 Rivers and Harbors Act (Public Law 90-483) authorized a beach-erosion control 

 project for Brevard County, Florida. The project is described in House Document 352, 90* 

 Congress, 2 nd Session dated July 8, 1968. Five areas were identified as having erosion problems, 

 two north of Canaveral Harbor and three south. These areas are shown in Figure F-3. The 

 lengths of the problem areas are, in order from north to south, 4.9 miles at Kennedy Space 

 Center, 4 miles at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station (AFS), 2.8 miles at the city of Cape 

 Canaveral, 2.3 miles at Patrick AFB, and 2 miles at Indialantic and Melbourne Beach. Federal 

 Civil Works participation was authorized for the City of Cape Canaveral and at 

 Indialantic/Melbourne Beach. The three remaining areas are Federal property, and the Federal 

 agencies involved would be responsible for constructing the projects recommended. 

 Descriptions of the recommended project areas follows: 



Kennedy Space Center . Restore 26,000 ft (4.9 miles) of beach at Kennedy Space Center 

 without Federal (Civil Works) participation. Federal agencies owning property involved would 

 be responsible for their own justification and funding for project construction. Volume needed 

 for initial restoration was 2.5 Mcy. Approximately 195,000 cy would be needed annually for 

 periodic nourishment (7.5 cy/ft). 



Cape Kennedy AFS . Restore 21,200 ft (4.0 miles) of beach at Cape Kennedy AFS without 

 Federal (Civil Works) participation. Federal agencies owning property involved would be 

 responsible for their own justification and funding for project construction. Volume needed for 

 initial restoration was 2.0 Mcy. Approximately 162,000 cy would be needed annually for 

 periodic nourishment (7.6 cy/ft).
