4. STATUS
The Duval County SPP was last renourished after Hurricane Irma in 2019. The Jacksonville District is currently expressing funding capabilities for the next scheduled renourishment in 2023. Also, the district is working with the non-federal sponsor to initiate a new feasibility study to extend the project beyond 2028. Funding capabilities for this new study have not been requested due to the non-federal sponsors reluctance and concerns regarding reauthorization for a period not to exceed 15 years in accordance Section 156 of WRDA 1976.
