Segment III – Evaluate Non-Federal Project• Greater uncertainty in future federal funding –
no guarantee of reimbursement• Greatly reduce time to construction• Easier to import Bahamian sand
• Reduced traffic impacts• Higher quality sand• Larger hopper dredges entering U.S. fleet• Consideration of foreign sand may trigger
industry competition• Cost share regional EIS with Miami-Dade
County• Evaluate design/build project delivery
