NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:

1. A description of each activity, including the need, purpose, objective(s), milestones and location. Include map showing the 

location of each activity.

Amendment #3 adds one new activity, 2021-01 East Bay Living Shoreline and Seagrass Project. 

2021-01 East Bay Living Shoreline and Seagrass Project:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Bay County RESTORE Act Direct Component funds will fund marsh and seagrassenhancement

on state-owned sovereign lands to restore and protect natural resources. RESTORE Act funds will restore 

approximately 10 acres of a larger 600-acre complex of marsh and seagrasses. Project includes planting of sea grass, 

marsh grass, and possibly the introduction of mangroves to improve sediment capture allowing natural systems to 

migrate and adapt to sea level rise over time. Funds will be passed through to The Nature Conservancy, which will 

manage the project. The County will enter into a subrecipient agreement with The Nature Conservancy to complete the 

scope of work.

(This is one of four nature-based solutions in Tyndall Air Force Base’s multifaceted approach that will collectively create 

and augment multiple lines of defense againstshoreline erosion, storm surge and other coastal hazards; protect the 

base and its mission; and provide ecological benefits such as improved water quality through restoration 

of ecological communities - oysterreefs, tidal marshes, andseagrasses. These benefits include habitatre-vegetation, 

improved infiltration to protect the freshwater lens, increasedbiodiversity, enhance fisheries 

production, climate mitigationvia carbon sequestration, andreduced solar heating effects).

NEED: The project area on state sovereign lands is subject to erosion. The project will restore and protect natural 

resources, including coastal wetlands. The project will also provide coastal flood protect to the adjacent area of Tyndall 

AFB, which is at a low elevation and highly vulnerable to coastal flooding. Some erosion has been observed in this area 

from storm events, which is expected to worsen over time due to sea level rise increasing risk of coastal flooding to the 

munition's storage area and flight line, critical for base mission operations. This project protects adjacent mission 

elements including a munitions storage area and the Tyndall AFB flight line.

PURPOSE: This project restores and protects natural resources including coastal wetlands and wildlife habitats 
through marsh and seagrass plantings. The project will also provide coastal flood protection for the 

Munitions Storage Area and the Tyndall AFB flight line by attenuating wave energy, mitigating erosion, and 

enhancing natural coastal habitats. 

OBJECTIVES

• Restore and protect natural coastal habitats by promoting sediment accretion and supporting marine species 

adaptation to sea level rise.

• Reduce coastal flooding by protecting shoreline from continued erosion and mitigating wave energy as first line 

of defense.

• Monitor system performance based on acreage of sea grass, marsh grass and stability of shoreline. 

MILESTONES (subject to change contingent on award date. Design to commence shortly after award of funds).

• Design: 2022

• NEPA: 2022-23

• Permitting: 2023

• Construction: 2024

Location – St. Andrew Sound and East Bayof the St. Andrew Bay system, Bay County Florida

2. How the applicant made the multiyear plan available for 45 days for public review and comment, in a manner calculated to 

obtain broad-based participation from individuals, businesses, Indian tribes, and non-profit organizations, such as through public 

meetings, presentations in languages other than English, and postings on the Internet. The applicant will need to submit 

documentation (e.g., a copy of public notices) to demonstrate that it made itsmultiyear plan available to the public for at least 45 

days. In addition, describe how each activity in the multiyear plan was approved after consideration of allmeaningful input from the 

public and submit documentation (e.g., a letter from the applicant's leadership approving submission of the multiyear plan to

Treasury or a resolution approving the applicant's multiyear plan).

[At its September 8, 2021 meeting, the Bay County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) heard the proposed MultiYear Implementation Plan amendment related to the East Bay Living Shoreline and Seagrass Project, conducted a public 

meeting, and opened a 45-day comment period, through October 23, 2021. A legal ad was published in the Panama City 

Herald, a local newspaper, about the amendment and comment period and an email was sent to the more than 200 

entities on the Bay County RESTORE Act interested parties list. The proposed amendment was available as an exhibit in 

the September 8, 2021, and November 2 BoCC agendas. The materials were also available for download from the 

County’s RESTORE Act web pages. No public comment was made at the September 8, 2021 public hearing, and no 

comments were received during the comment period. A legal ad was also published in the Panama City Herald about 

the amendment and the November 2, 2021, BoCC public hearing.

On November 2, 2021 the proposed amendment was again brought before the Bay County Board of County 

Commissioners in a public hearing setting. No public comment was made at the meeting. The Board made no revisions 

to the proposed plan amendment. In a 5-0 vote, the Board approved the amendment to Bay County's RESTORE Act 

Direct Component Plan and directed staff to submit the amendment to Treasury. Tyndall Air Force Base submitted a 

letter in support of the project on November 2, 2021.

3. How each activity included in the applicant's multiyear plan narrativemeets all the requirements under the RESTORE Act, 

including a description of howeach activity is eligible for funding based on the geographic location of each activity and how each 

activity qualifies for at least one of the eligible activities under the RESTORE Act.

This project meets the eligible activity of restoration and protection of the natural resources, ecosystems, fisheries, 

marine and wildlife habitats, beaches, and coastal wetlands of the Gulf Coast Region, because it will restore and protect 

natural resources including coastal wetlands and wildlife habitats throughmarsh and seagrass plantings in the project 

area. Additionally, the project will also provide coastal flood protection for the Munitions Storage Area and the Tyndall 

AFB flight line by attenuating wave energy, mitigating erosion, and enhancing natural coastal habitats.
The project is not included in any claim for compensation paid out by the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund after the date of 

enactment of the RESTORE Act.

The project will be carried out in East Bay within the St. Andrew Bay system, in BayCounty, FL, and will be within the 

Gulf Coast Region as defined in 31 CFR Part 34 -"Gulf Coast Region means: (1) In the Gulf Coast States, the coastal zones 

defined under section 304 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 that border the Gulf of Mexico; (2) Land within 

the coastal zones described in paragraph (1) of this definition that is held in trust by, or the use of which is by law 

subject solely to the discretion of, the Federal Government or officers or agents of the Federal Government; (3) Any 

adjacentland, water, andwatersheds, that are within25miles of the coastalzone described in paragraphs(1) and (2) of 

this definition; and (4) All Federal watersin the Gulf of Mexico."

4. Criteria the applicant will use to evaluate the success of the activities included in the multiyear plan narrative in helping to restore 

and protect the Gulf Coast Region impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Success will be measured by:

- Number of acres of subaquatic vegetation restored

- Number of miles of living shoreline restored

5. How the activities included in the multiyear plan narrativewere prioritized and list the criteria used to establish the priorities.

No change in priorities compared to the approved initial Multi-Year Improvement Plan. This is an additional project.

6. If applicable, describe the amount and current status of funding from other sources (e.g., other RESTORE Act contribution, other 

third party contribution) and provide a description of the specific portion of the project to be funded by the RESTORE Act Direct 

Component.

This project will be funded solely by Bay County RESTORE Act Direct Component funds.
