Packery Channel Monitoring Program
Proposed Amendment#9 (2014/2015)
Project Tasks and Cost Estimate
September 4, 2014
Submitted to:
The City of Corpus Christi
Submitted by:
Deidre D. 'Williams
The Conrad Blucher Institute for Surveying and Science
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
Purpose
To continue to protect the City of Corpus Christi's vested interest in the inlet,beach (Mustang and
North Padre Island), and sensitive habitat that comprise the Packery Channel System. This
program supports the City of Corpus Christi's pro-active approach to research-based management
of this system. This proposal provides for the application of unobligated funds from Amendment
#7 and #8 for the purpose of expediting the channel bathymetric survey to investigation the region
of shoaling that peaked during July 2014. This effort represents only a subset of the tasks that
compose the annual monitoring program.
Monitoring Program Tasks
This proposal describes the Tasks that will be conducted under Amendment 9. This represents
only a subset of the overall 2014/2015 monitoring year. The remaining Tasks will be authorized
in Amendment 10 which is anticipated during October 2014. In addition Tasks 2-3 and 2-4 are
only partially provided for by Amendment 9. All components of Tasks 2-1 and 2-2 will be
completed under Amendment 9. All tasks are shown for continuity but a budget is provided only
for the tasks to be directly covered under Amendment 9.
Tasks 1-5 may be conducted simultaneously or independently and in the order that best supports
the monitoring program goals.
Task 1. Project Management
1-1. Project Management
EXHIBIT"A"
Page 1 of 5
Description
Project management includes historic analysis, reporting, survey organization and scheduling as
well as presentations and generation of materials in support of the management of the inlet and
associated beach and wetland by the City of Corpus Christi. Additional support includes
coordination with surveyors, engineers and other environmental professionals to assist the City of
Corpus Christi with related projects including potential dredge operations and/or FEMA
reimbursement for storm damage.
Differed to Amendment 10
1-2. Aerial Photography
Description: Acquisition of an annual set of rectified aerial photographs of the Packery Channel
region including the entire channel from the GIWW to the Gulf of Mexico (GOM); including
North Padre and Mustang Islands from the south end of the seawall to Newport Pass. Photographs
are applied in ArcGIS environment for comparative analysis of change relative to key features and
as a reference for overlay of data and terrain models. Bids received during 2014 indicate that the
cost of aerial photography is comparable to the 2013 effort.
Purpose: For interpretation of large-scale changes in vegetation, dune line, and inter-tidal regions
adjacent to the inland segment of the channel as well as along Padre and Mustang Islands. Aerial
imagery is particularly important to document adjacent regions that are outside of the topographic
survey area. In addition,the aerial imagery is applied as a backdrop to channel and beach elevation
data. In addition, the aerials are critical for application to the development of visuals and
explanation aids to City staff, residents and laypersons.
Schedule:
(1) Annual set of imagery conducted Sep/Oct 2014 (pending weather conditions).
Differed to Amendment 10
Task 2. Measurement of Morphologic change in Packery Channel and along Mustang and
Padre Island.
2-1. Beach Profile Surveys
Description: Beach profile surveys provide detailed information describing changes in elevation
and morphology at 18 specified locations along the beach stretching from the Nueces Kleberg
County Line to north of Fish Pass at Mustang Island State Park. There are historic data for these
locations since 1995. The beach profile survey has been conducted annually during the peak
summer period to allow for analysis of change that reflects the same forcing agents active over the
summer season. Elevation measurements are collected along transects that initiate landward of the
dune or other landward limiting feature (seawall or pavement) and extend offshore up to one mile
into the Gulf of Mexico. The surveys capture the region of active sediment transport and therefore
extend offshore to a depth, referred to as the depth of the closure, beyond which limited movement
of the sediment occurs.
Purpose: To document changes in features such as the dune toe (seaward limit of dunes) berm
crest(most landward point of active sediment transport on the beach), and sand bars. The data are
applied to determine regions of erosion and to calculate volumetric change along historically
surveyed areas of the beach. This data set is critical to the calculation of sand volume which is
required for sand placement and documentation for FEMA funding. Data is also applied to verify
shoreline position data and to determine the maximum region of sheltering along the beach (Zone
EXHIBIT"A"
Page 2 of 5
of Influence) that is provided by the jetties. An additional set of beach profile transects was added
to better describe the beach fronting the North Padre Island Seawall to facilitate more accurate
monitoring of changes in the recent beach nourishment. This focused survey along the nourishment
area includes profiles at 400-ft to 1100-ft spacing to accommodate more accurate beach volume
calculations for FEMA application.
Schedule:
(1) Annual survey conducted during peak summer condition (Sep/Oct 2014).
(2) Intensive surveys of beach nourishment area fronting the North Padre Island seawall (Sept/Oct
2014 and Feb/Mar 2015).
Cost:
Annual Survey: $20,000
NPI Seawall Surveys: $11,950
Salary/Wages/Benefits/Supplies/Travel/FA: $16,960
Estimated Cost Task 2-1: $48,910
2-2. Shoreline Position Surveys
Description: Elevation data are collected by RTK GPS across the beach from close to the dune
toe to the water line along a zigzag path in order to cover the entire beach face. The beach is
surveyed from south of the Nueces Kleberg County Line to north of Fish Pass at Mustang Island
State Park.
Purpose: Shoreline position surveys are an efficient and low-cost way to measure changes in the
width of the dry beach over the broad study area. Within days, a large section of the beach can be
measured to determine changes in shoreline position from which regions of beach erosion and
accretion can be determined and potential "hot spots" can be identified. Monitoring the seasonal
position of the shoreline assists in management of beach vehicular access south of the inlet and
addresses persistent regions of shoreline recession that have been identified fronting the North
Padre Island Seawall and Whitecap Blvd. as well as regions of receding shoreline north of the inlet
near Newport Pass. This data is instrumental to the management of the future bollard placement
along the North Padre Island Seawall.
Schedule:
(2) Seasonal Surveys. Tentative survey schedule: Sep/Oct 2014 and Jan/Feb 2015.
Cost:
Survey: $7,800
Salary/Wages/Benefits/Supplies/Travel/FA: $8,502
Estimated Cost Task 2-2: $16,302
2-3. Surveys of Channel and Nearshore Depth and Morphology (Features of seafloor and
bottom of channel)
Description: These bathymetric surveys combine single-beam (nearshore/offshore) and multi-
beam (channel) sonar coverage to provide high-resolution data sets that describe the morphology
(shoals, scour and sandbars) on the channel bottom and seafloor. The analysis of seasonal data
sets is applied to interpret pathways of sediment transport and to anticipate development of features
such as bypass bars, channel shoals and ebb shoaling.
Purpose: Data is applied to define morphologic features such as shoals (areas of deposition) and
scour (areas of erosion) in the channel, nearshore and around structures. This data is applied to
EXHIBIT"A"
Page 3 of 5
•
determine pathways of sediment transport and to calculate volumetric change for application to
the estimation of the sand volume available for dredging. The data are applied to interpret trends
in sediment transport as well as to calculate volumetric change indicating sand loss or gain, to
prepare for nourishment projects, and to identify potential regions of shoaling which could limit
navigation. A primary application of this data is to identify trends in shoaling which provides
guidance in future dredge planning and the identify navigation hazards.
Schedule:
One (1) Seasonal surveys will be conducted during Sep/Oct 2014. Two (2) additional surveys are
proposed for the 2014/2015 monitoring year. Additional surveys may be required if data indicate
that depth-limited navigation is imminent.
Cost:
Survey: $28,700 (Differed to Amendment#10 S50,600)
Salary/Wages/Benefits/Supplies/Travel/FA: $1,936.45 (Differed to Amendment #10 534,176.55)
Estimated Cost Task 2-3: $30.636.45
2-4. Inland Channel Segment and Mollie Beattie Coastal Habitat Community (MBCHC)
Description: The inland channel segment bordering MBCHC continues to modify as the region
adjusts to changes in water flow in the channel and over the wetland. These changes are best
captured seasonally through a network of cross-sections that document changes in wetland extent,
channel boundaries and shoreline change. Elevation is measured along transects or survey lines.
that are roughly perpendicular to channel orientation. The surveys start at the location of the mean
higher high water(MHHW) shoreline position located along the western residential shore and then
extend across the channel to the location of MHHW shoreline position or until a limiting feature
(such as coverage of a raised placement area) is defined. The position of the MHHW shoreline
position is measured along the residential side of the channel extending from the HWY 361 Bridge
to the Relief Channel west of the channel dog leg. The MHHW position is not as well defined
along the MBCHC due to extended sections of submerged area, therefore a MHHW position
survey is not conducted on the east side of the channel.
Purpose: These surveys define morphologic change in the inland segment of the channel that
borders the MBCHC as well as changes in the elevation across sections of the wetland. The
purpose is to evaluate the response of the channel and wetland to the opening of the inlet and assess
the approach to an equilibrium status. Analysis of this data set provides quantification of change
in the primary (-5 ft) and upper bank (MSL) width along the channel bordering the MBCHC. In
addition, the MHHW position of the west side of the inland channel segment (residential) is
compared to historic survey data surveys to determine historic change in position.
Schedule:
(2) Survey Sets (Transects and MHHW). Tentative survey schedule: Sep/Oct 2014, Jan/Feb 2015.
Additional surveys may be required if data indicate that the rate of change has increased during
the study period.
Cost:
Survey: $9,400
Salary/Wages/Benefits/Supplies/Travel/FA: $0.00 (Differed to Amendment 10 ($14,895))
Estimated Cost Task 2-4: $9,400

2-5. Event/Transitional Survey and/or Dredge Support
Description: In a continued effort to respond to City of Corpus Christi budgetary constraints, the
monitoring program continues at a modified schedule to include (2) seasonal surveys (Sept/Oct
2012 and Jan/Feb 2013) and (1) transitional reduced-cost survey (June 2013). To accommodate
monitoring concerns beyond these seasonal surveys the Event Task provides for event surveys or
other survey requirements as needed. Such support outside of seasonal surveys could include but
is not limited to dredge support, engineering support, environmental assessment (wetland,
endangered species, modeling hydrodynamics), and sand placement activities outside the seasonal
survey scope. The primary purpose of the event surveys is to facilitate timely pre- or post- storm
surveys. Surveys may be needed beyond the seasonal designation, such as after storms, and to
assist with the investigation of sensitive environmental habitat or anthropogenic influences on the
coastal environment that are identified during the course of the three seasonal surveys. The cost
is based upon the following survey suite but may be utilized as needed in support of management
concerns:
a. Shoreline position survey (1) Task 2-2.
b. Abbreviated MBCHC survey (1) Task 2-2 OR TBA survey up to 5 days.
c. Bathymetric channel and nearshore survey (1) as described in Task 2-3.
d. Beach profile survey (1) Task 2-1.
e. Baseline survey of existing bathymetry of the Lake Padre region and canals of Padre Isles
(does not include modeling or analysis).
£ Abbreviated Entrance Channel Shoal Survey (1) planned for Aug/Sep 2014 to monitor
changes in the Entrance Channel shoal that had expanded to potentially limit navigation
(Identified during the July 2014 survey).
Purpose: To define changes in morphology, wetland boundaries, volume, and bathymetry of
associated waterways related to issues outside of the umbrella of the seasonal surveys.
Schedule:
Post-storm and as needed relative to management concerns during 2014/2015. Other tasks as
directed by City staff.
Differed to Amendment 10
Deliverables:
ASCII data sets (x,y,z)NAVD88 State Plane south Zone FIPS 4205
Email status report (monthly or as updates are available)
Status Reports (post-survey reports)
Note: all surveys may be rescheduled based upon study findings or weather and sea conditions.
Additional surveys may be recommended upon seasonal findings or evidence of change based
upon observations in the field.
