South Ponte Vedra beachfill project

St. Johns County (FL) is in the process of procuring an Engineering firm for the South Ponte Vedra beach nourishment project.

Recent hurricanes and northeasters have severely eroded South Ponte Vedra Beach (SPV). The proposed project sand placement volume is 610,000 cubic yards (about 22 cy/ft. on average).

The northern end of this project area is 2539 S Ponte Vedra Blvd., while the southern end is 3175 S Ponte Vedra Blvd. This project will tie in with the northern end of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) project which just wrapped up its second nourishment campaign.

Sources of project funding include the State of Florida post-Ian/Nicole emergency grant and FEMA Category G. The County is pursuing FEMA Cat G funding and has already secured State funding to reconstruct the project.
