II. scOPE OF WORK
A. The feasibility study will detemiine Federal interest in modifying the existing
Federal navigation project at Matittuck Inlet to reduce erosion down drift or east
of the inlet. The boundary of the study area is one mile east and west of
Matittuck Inlet. The goals of the study will be as follows;
6.
7.
8.
Determine how much of the erosion is caused by the jetties at
Mattituck Inlet
Determine the sand surplus and/or deficit on each side of the Mattituck
Inlet. Also determine the accretion/erosion rates on either side of the
inlet.
Determine the stability of the shoreline just down drift (east) of
Mattituck Inlet.
Define_the withoutproject condi_tion ...............
Evaluate different sand by-passing options
Determine the environmental effects of the selected plan
Characterize the benethic communities to the east of Mattituck Inlet
Determine the environmental effects of the selected plan
B. Current Fiscal Year. 1. Complete the analysis of sand movement around the inlet.
2. Identify and evaluate alternatives to mitigate erosion east of the inlet.
3. Start preparing the Environmental Assessment and preliminary real
estate analysis
III. STUDY GOALS
This document will outline the study schedule and costs to mitigate the effects of the
Federal navigation project at Mattituck Inlet.
The acretion/erosion rates that prevail in the vicini~ of Mattituck Inlet are expected to
define the possible quantities of littoral material that could be bypassed to reduce beach
erosion east of the jetties° It i's the rate at which the quantity of littoral sand that
accumulates on the western side of the jetties that will determine the sand by-passing
rate. Suitable material dredged from the navigation project will also be considered for
placement on the eastern side of the jetties as a component of possible by-passing
options.
An initial placement of an additional quantity of sand will be considered for placement on
the eastern side of the jetties to reshape the shoreline to a limited extent. This could
supplement any by-passing option selected to make it as effective as possible in
protecting the inlet from the threat of a breach or overwash on the eastern eroded shore.
Other alternatives will be considered,.but are not expected to be implementable due to
relative costs, limited effectiveness and potentially greater adverse environmental
impacts. Some of the alternatives that will be considered are alterations to the jetties,
channel configuration, and the mining of offshore sources for sand. The changes
resulting from such alternatives cOuld introduce a period of system-wide instability with
difficult to forecast risks and uncertainties concerning impacts to the channel and
adjacent shores. These alternatives would have limited effectiveness and require
extensive environmental studies and for the jetties, extensive hydrodynamic and
hydrologic modeling. Although a wide range of possible alternatives will be considered
to protect the inlet's eastern shore, the study will focus on alternatives that are most
effective and avoid significant system-wide changes to aVoid and minimize potential
adverse environmental impacts.

Engineering Tasks
_Prepare Survey SOW, Survey SOW, including beach profiles of the project area
consisting of 12 long range profile lines, each extending 2,000 fi. offshore and 10 short
range lines (from the baseline to MLW) taken between the long ranges, has been
prepared for beach profile survey.
Review of Survey Data. CRB will perform review of alt survey products.
Shoreline Comparison Analysis. Based on new survey data and using previous available
shoreline information, a shoreline comparison analysis will be performed to determine
the extent of erosion and accretion on the east and west side of the inlet. Shoreline
comparison will also consist of plotting historical shoreline information on plan view.
The volume eroded and accumulated on the east and west side, respectively, will also be
determined.
Shoreline Erosion Analysis. Shoreline erosion rates will be computed for 2, 5, 10, 20 and
25 year storm recurrence intervals. The EDUNE model will be used and shoreline profile
characteristics, determined from the new survey data, will be used as input to the EDUNE
model. Long term and storm induced erosion rates will be determined for existing and
for without project future conditions. The results of this analysis will be used to estimate
when in the future the beach, just east of the inlet, will be in a near breached condition.
Diffusion Analysis. Using the volumes computed from the above task (CRB3) and
assuming that the eroded volume will be replaced, a diffusion analysis will be performed
to determine the impact of the inlet to the shoreline further east of the inlet. This analysis
will provide an understanding of the movement of sand east of the inlet. A determination
of whether the replaced quantity of sand will migrate east and how far the migration will
extend will be made. This analysis will be done for with project conditions only.
Slope Stability Analysis. Slope stability analyses will be done on the bluff east 6f the
downdrifi beach approximately 3,000 fi from the inlet. Using the results from the
diffusion analysis, the impact of the fronting beach to the bluff stability will be
determined. Possible bluff failure will be determined for existing and without project
conditions and for with project and future conditions.
Engineering Appendix. Prepare input to final report for submission to NAD
Assessment of Alternatives. A screening of possible types of sand bypassing solutions
will be developed for the project area. The descriptions of possible alternatives will be
listed, with estimated preliminary construction costs.
Selected Plan. Based on the engineering analyses and findings (determined from
previous tasks CRB3 through CRB7 and environmental assessment of alternatives), a
final improvement plan will be recommended. The selected plan will be defined with
design features and appropriate plates and cost estimate, i.e. quantities and layout input.
Final costs and MCACES are to be accomplished by Cost Engineering Branch in a
separate task.
Environmental Tasks
The environmental tasks will ensure the proposed project meets all appropriate
environmental regulations. Appropriate NEPA documents and pre-application permit
requested documentation will be prepared that will include, but not be limited to the
following;
Coordinate with United States Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) on the Coordination
Act Report
Prepare the CZM compliance documents
Coordinate with appropriate Federal and NY State agencies.
Prepare the Cultural. Resource-. Report. -
Evaluate sand by-passing alternatives
Perform any sampling regime required by regulatory agencies.( As coordinated
with the non-Federal Sponsor, there will only be one sampling period for the feasibility
study)
Plan Formulation Tasks
The planning tasks will be as follows;
(1) Formulation of Alternatives
(2) Evaluation of Altematives
(3) Determination of the percent of beach erosion problem caused by the Federal
navigation project.
(3) Drafting the draft report
(4) Coordinating the response to comments to the draft report
(5) Finalizing the report.
