Project Summary:

A new upscale condominium in Clearwater Beach, Belle    Harbor needed a mooring facility to complete the development package.  Delta Seven, in cooperation with the site engineer and the marine contractor, obtained state and federal permits for this project, the first of its size in the Clearwater area in many years.

Project Description:

The project consisted of the redevelopment of an existing 15 slip docking facility to meet the requirements of a proposed 200 unit upland residential development, Belle Harbor Condominiums. The work included the permitting and design of 50 new wet slips, reconstruction of 15 wet slips, the placement of 102 cubic yards of rip rap along the existing seawall, and dredging 1,100 cubic yards of material.



A JMC Property

Before construction there were 7.88 acres of seagrass and unconsolidated bottom tidal wetlands within the project area. The dock construction and dredging temporarily impacted 0.54 acres of unconsolidated bottom wetlands. The dock construction permanently impacted 0.0016 acre of seagrass wetland. The seagrass wetland impacts were offset by the removal of an existing dock structure, to allow for the restoration of 0.01 acre of seagrass wetland.
The SWFWMD permit for the Belle Harbor- Docks project required the ecological monitoring of seagrass recovery on a programmed schedule. The permit required that there would be 6 month, 12 month, 18 month, and 24 month monitoring reports.

Monitoring indicates that natural recovery of the  seagrass  is occurring in the area previously shaded by the old dock structure.
