Abstract: The Jupiter Carlin Segment of the Palm Beach County Shore Protection Project project consists of restoring approximately 1.1 miles of beach between Palm Beach County, Florida Department of Environmental Protection reference monument R-13 and R-19. The project, initially constructed in 1995, consists of a zero-foot authorized berm (restoring the 1990 mean high water shoreline) and approximately 513,000 cubic yards of advanced material over the 1.1 mile project length. The current project template, as defined in the authorizing document, maintains the position of the 1990 mean high water shoreline and provides additional material to offset erosive losses for seven years between each subsequent periodic nourishment. The purpose of this report is to determine if a 50-year extension of Federal participation from the date of initial construction in the authorized Jupiter Carlin Segment of the Palm Beach County Shore Protection Project is economically justified. Initial project construction occurred in 1995. The additional 50 years would therefore allow for continued maintenance of the existing project through 2045.
