To be eligible for sand replacement on beaches; the Applicant must establish and adhere to a maintenance program to periodically renourish sand to preserve the beach original design. Emergency; “one-time;” or partial renourishment does not meet this requirement.The Applicant cites to a one-time; partial renourishment of sand; but is otherwise unable to demonstrate an established and adhered to maintenance program of periodic renourishment. Sand replacement required as a result of pre-disaster erosion is not eligible for PA funding. FEMA uses pre- and post-storm profiles; design documents; and renourishment history to estimate the amount of sand lost as a result of the incident. FEMA may be unable to determine this amount if there are large gaps between renourishment projects or a lack of detailed monitoring records.
