Abstract:	The purpose of this Limited Reevaluation Report (LRR) and Environmental Assessment (EA) is to evaluate potential sand sources for future renourishments throughout the remaining period of Federal participation in the Dade County, FL, Beach Erosion Control (BEC) and Hurricane Protection (HP) Project. The report will also confirm the economic justification and environmental acceptability of the project. There are two segments in the Dade County, FL BEC&HP Project. The Main Segment has ten years left in the current period of Federal participation, beginning in 2015 and ending in 2025. The Sunny Isles Segment has twenty three years left, beginning in 2015 and ending in 2038. This report concludes that the project remains economically justified given the use of multiple sand sources to meet renourishment needs over the remaining period of Federal participation. Economic justification is based on the Total Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) with recreation capped at 50%, per current policy. Accordingly, the BCR for the Main Segment is 1.7. The BCR for Sunny Isles is 2.8. Thus, this report recommends that multiple sand sources be approved for use by the project in order to meet renourishment needs.
