F.3. Beach-Erosion Control Project Modifications 



The House Public Works and Transportation Committee, by resolution adopted 

 September 23, 1982, directed the USACE to review the report of the Chief of Engineers on 

 Brevard County, Florida, published in House Document 352/90/2 to determine if the project 

 should be modified. The purpose of the study was to consider the advisability of extending 

 Federal participation in the Cape Canaveral and Indialantic and Melbourne Beach segments and 

 the addition of other project segments if needed and justified. The study was completed and the 

 report of the Chief of Engineers transmitted to the Secretary of the Army on December 23, 1996. 

 Section 101(b)(7) of the 1996 Water Resources Development Act reauthorized the Brevard 

 County, Florida, Shore-Protection Project based on the report of the Chief of Engineers. The 

 City of Cape Canaveral segment was incorporated into a larger 9.4-mile segment. The 

 Indialantic and Melbourne Beach segment was incorporated into a larger 3.4-miles segment. The 

 locations of the existing and modified project segments are shown in Figure F-4. Beach 

 restoration and periodic nourishment were authorized for both project segments at a 50-year total 

 project cost estimated at $138,778,000. 



F.4. Summary of Dredged-Material Placement 



Approximately 4.8 Mcy of beach-quality dredged material from Canaveral Harbor have been 

 placed on the beaches or in the nearshore littoral zone of Brevard County since April 1974. 

 Another 792,700 cy have been placed at Patrick AFB by the Air Force. Non-Federal beach 

 nourishment at the cities of Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach total 140,000 cy. The amounts, 

 locations, authority, and other information on sand placed on Brevard County's beaches are 

 shown in Figure F-5. In summary, 6.3 Mcy of beach-quality material have been placed on the 

 beaches, or in the nearshore zone, south of Canaveral Harbor in Brevard County from 1965 

 through 1997. A summary of beach and nearshore disposal in Brevard County is given in 

 Table F-2.
