Layer: Shore Placement Areas (ID: 3)

Name: Shore Placement Areas

Display Field: State

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: The Shore Placement Areas feature class contains polygons representing approximate locations along the U.S. coastline where dredged material from the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) has been placed as part of a project for shore protection, beach restoration, coastal restoration, or construction project undertaken by a Federal, State, or local government agency. These locations mainly include (but are not limited to) beaches that require shoreline stabilization and beach nourishment in order to reduce future coastal storm flooding and erosion, and to provide cultural, economic, recreational, and environmental habitat benefits. Placement areas for dredged OCS material are specifically defined in every Negotiated Non-Competitive Lease or Memorandum of Agreement with Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) which authorizes contracted entities to dredge sand, gravel, or shell resources from the OCS. Section 8 (k) of the OCS Lands Act (OCSLA) as amended by Public Law 103-426 (enacted in 1994) gives BOEM the authority to negotiate an agreement for the use of OCS sand, gravel, and shell resources for use in: (1) a project for shore protection, beach restoration, or coastal restoration undertaken by a Federal, State, or local government agency; or (2) for use in a construction project funded in whole or in part by, or authorized by, the Federal government. Planned and/or as-built project placement locations are typically provided to the BOEM within or as an attachment (e.g. as-built survey drawing) to the lease agreement and post-construction/project completion reports. The polygon extents are not guaranteed to be exact and may contain estimate boundaries or generalized locations where as-built survey data were not available. Attribution consists of OCS lease number, project ID, Shore ID (placement area location or beach name), placement (construction) start and end dates, placement volume, the number of linear miles of coastline restored, and supplemental comments that provide additional context regarding the placement/construction event. This dataset will receive regular updates as new OCS leases are added or renewed and OCS sediment is allocated to planned placement sites along the U.S. coastline.
