i. INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes the chronology and treatment of the Pinellas County Gulf Beaches and Passes. Information was drawn from available published sources and discussion with knowledgeable individuals. More important than in-depth detail is the presentation of a large amount of diverse but pertinent information in one con­ sistent and concise format.

The central theme is a listing in chronological form of the history of each island and each pass. These lists are supplemented by selected aerial photos and matching coastal maps. A summary of the Corps of Engineers loca­ tion of a suitable source of sand for use in future projects is attached. Their exploration located in excess of 30 million cubic yards of suitable beach sand off Egmont Key. Future beach nourishment sand will come from pass maintenance dredging supplemented by this large Egmont Key channel source.

This study has tried to identify both volumes of sand added and/or removed and dollars expended. However, this data is spotty and should be considered illustrative at best, especially the dollar figures. We have identified approximately 9 million cubic yards of sand placed on the beaches over the years. This is in good balance with approximately 11 million cubic yards identified as removed for filling purposes. In addition, about 12 million cubic yards was placed offshore Egmont Channel.

The beach islands except for Honeymoon, Caladesi, and Mullet are almost fully developed. The future of the existing development is of interest, however, i.e. reconstruction after storm damage. It should be noted that the last big (100 year) hurricane was in 1921. The buildup has taken place since then, in the long calm after the storm.

Control over rebuilding after damage is in a formative stage. Incorporated municipalities are responsible within their borders, while the County Government is responsible for the unincorporated balance of the county. The Gulf shore consists mainly of 10 municipalities. To aid in planning, the County Departments of Civil Emergency Services and County Planning have prepared a Post-Disaster Redevelopment Guide expected to be finalized in 1994. It observes that "Pinellas County does not presently have institutional and decision-making structures concerned with questions of how the county rebuilds and develops following a disaster." The principal recommen­ dation is that the county and each municipality establish a post-disaster Redevelopment Task Force for this pur­ pose.

There is an established Coastal Construction Control Line, seaward of which construction is almost never allowed (Fla. Statutes Ch. 161). However, the present line runs essentially along the seawall and the landward edge of the beach. It serves to prevent building on the sand. Rebuilding is allowed on existing foundations so long as they do not require addition, repair, or modification. Control of building also comes under various Building Codes, Zoning Use Designations, and Federal Insurance Regulations.

This search has also identified numerous information sources, knowledgeable persons, reports, libraries, refer­ ences, etc. These are collected and listed in the Appendix of this report.

The two aerial / satellite derived maps (plates 1,2) show the land usage for the coastal area treated in this report. This "before and after" display is meant to show both the changes in usage and their effects on the islands, water­ ways, and vegetation. This can only be displayed through the color coding of these maps.

This report was initially prepared while the author was a volunteer with the U.S. Geological Survey's Center for Coastal Geology and Regional Marine Studies in St. Petersburg, FL. Presently, the USGS is conducting a study of the west-central Florida barrier island system, which includes Pinellas County, as well as Pasco county to the north and Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota Counties to the south. Guy Gelfenbaum and Tabatha Gleaton revised and edited this report.
