2/20
Introduction
Palm Beach County Reef Rescue (PBCRR) has conducted a preliminary data review of
borrow area turbidity compliance monitoring samples collected and analyzed inconjunction with the Juno Beach Restoration Project, FDEP Permit 0127642-001-JC.
Turbidity compliance monitoring reports were supplied by the permittee, Palm Beach
County Environmental Resource Management (PBCERM), via electronic correspondencetransmitted December 31, 2009. The reports supplied by the permittee include water
quality monitoring results for the six day period December 21 through December 26,
2009.
A total of nineteen Juno Beach Turbidity Monitoring Reports were received as pdf
documents in the above referenced email correspondence. Also included in the electronic
submission were nineteen items labeled with a HTML file extension. These files could
not be opened and appeared to be empty, based on their 93 byte file size.
Each of the nineteen Juno Beach Turbidity Monitoring Reports were reviewed forproject permit compliance. In addition, borrow area sampling data were plotted on maps
prepared by PBCRR. Individual maps were prepared for each borrow area sampling
episode with background sample collection locations identified as B and compliance
sample locations designated as C. The maps, presented below, were utilized tocalculate the distance between sample collection locations and determine compass
bearing for each data set. Each graphic representation is accompanied by contactor
supplied report identification reference, sample collection location, sample collectiontime, sample analysis time, turbidity analytical result, current direction and velocity.
Contractor supplied information was utilized to calculate distance and compass bearingbetween background and compliance samples. These data are presented beneath the
contractor supplied information on the individual maps prepared by PBCRR. In addition,
a reviewer text box is presented with each sampling episode and contains a description ofpermit noncompliance items identified.
Findings
Permit noncompliance events identified are listed below and also represented as reviewer
red text in comment boxes presented on the individual sample collection location maps
included with this summary report.
The Juno Beach Turbidity Monitoring Reports do not identify the
contractor or provide the name of the individual(s) performing sample collectionand analysis.
A statement describing the methods used in collection, handling, storage
and analysis of the samples is not provided.
A map indicating the sampling locations is not provided.

sample collection locations is not included.
A statement by the individual responsible for implementation of thesampling program concerning the authenticity, precision, limits of detection,
calibration of the meter and accuracy of the data is not provided.
The analytical methodology employed for turbidity analysis is not stated. The type of analytical instrument employed for turbidity analysis is not
stated.
Borrow area turbidity compliance and background samples were notcollected 450 meters apart in all instances as required by the project permit.
Turbidity compliance samples were not collected downcurrent of
background sample locations on all occasions as required by the project permit.
The permit minimum of 4 sample collection episodes per day was not
observed on everyday of project activity.
The minimum of 4 hours between sample collection episodes as requiredby the project permit was not observed on all days.
Contractor failed to report current direction for some sampling episodes.
Contractor failed to report water temperature for all sampling episodes.

19/20
Permit/Authorization Number: 0276415-001-JC
WATER QUALITY MONITORING REQUIRED:
Frequency: Four times daily at least 4 hours apart during all dredging and sand placementoperations.
Location: Background: At mid-depth, clearly outside the influence of any artificially
generated turbidity plume.
Dredge Site: approximately 300 meters in the opposite direction of the prevailing currentflow.
Dredge Site: Samples shall be collected 150 meters downcurrent from the dredge head,
in the densest portion of any visible turbidity plume.
Reviewer note:
Background = 300 meters up-current
Compliance. = 150 meters downcurrentMinimum distance between samples = 450 meters
Additionally, samples shall be collected at the borrow area monitoring stations (see SC
43 a) when the dredge is operating within 1,000 feet of the compliance stations orwhenever the turbidity plume is observed over the reef. Samples shall be collected at the
surface and approximately 2 meters above bottom.
All monitoring data shall be submitted within one week of analysis with documentscontaining the following information: (1) permit number; (2) dates of sampling and
analysis; (3) a statement describing the methods used in collection, handling, storage and
analysis of the samples; (4) a map indicating the sampling locations; (5) a statement bythe individual responsible for implementation of the sampling program concerning the
authenticity, precision, limits of detection, calibration of the meter and accuracy of the
data.
Monitoring reports shall also include the following information for each sample that is
taken:(a) time of day samples taken;
(b) depth of water body;
(c) depth of sample;
(d) antecedent weather conditions;(e) tidal stage and direction of flow;
(f) wind direction and velocity; and
(g) water temperature.

Monitoring reports shall be submitted to the BBCS in Tallahassee (attn: JCP Compliance
Officer) and to the Departments Southeast District office. Failure to submit reports in atimely manner constitutes grounds for revocation of the permit. When submitting this
information to the Department, please clearly include, at the top of each page or as a
cover page to the submittal: "This information is provided in partial fulfillment of themonitoring requirements in
Permit No. 0276415-001-JC, for the Juno Beach Nourishment Project."
