1. DESCRIPTION
The St. Johns County FL storm damage reduction project begins approximately 2.5 miles south of the south jetty of St. Augustine Inlet. The purpose of this project is to mitigate for down drift shoreline impacts caused by the federal navigation channel at St. Augustine Inlet, and provide storm damage reduction to the upland development. The cost sharing for this project is 80.5 percent federal and 19.5 percent non-federal due to the impacts of the federal navigation channel to the down drift beaches. The renourishment cycle for the project is every 5 years.
