NECA SHORELINE RESTORATION AND PROTECTION PROJECT
Here's a two page summary of fund raising work that the NECA Shoreline Committee has undertaken on behalf
of the community to restore and protect our shoreline.
On 2 December 2021, NECA submitted a proposal to request a $35K grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust (CBT) Watershed Assistance Grant Program.
Here is CBT's Request for Proposal (RFP).
Here is the proposal the Shoreline Committee submitted in response to the RFP. Our proposal included a seven page narrative section that addressed 11 specific RFP requirements.
Attachment D includes information regarding Coastal Design, P.C. 's credentials/qualifications, including a 30 page presentation of other Chesapeake Bay and river projects that are similar in nature to our project.
NECA PROPOSAL FOR MD DNR CHESAPEAKE & COASTAL GRANT
Here is the proposal the Shoreline Committee submitted in response to the RFP. Our proposal included a seven page narrative section that addressed 11 specific RFP requirements.
Additionally our proposal included seven attachments with supporting information.
Each attachment is referenced at different points in our narrative proposal.
The third attachment is composed of four attachments (1A, 1B, 1C and 1D). 1A includes a variety of pictures depicting our shoreline erosion problem. 1B includes the Breezy Point/Neeld Estate Flood Mitigation Plan published December 2016 by Calvert County Department of Planning. 1C is a map highlighting the floor-prone area of our neighborhood. 1D is what DNR calls the "Homeowners Association (HOA)/Community Land Project Authorization." This is required to demonstrate that the community, in accordance with our governing rules and regulations, has granted permission to move forward with our proposed project on community or other shared land.
The fifth attachment (2B) is composed of four attachments (2B-1, 2B-2, 2B-3 and 2B-4). 2B-1 is a journal article co-authored by Scott Hardaway. He is President of Coastline Design, P.C., the company that will perform the design effort should NECA receive either of the two grants.
2B-2 is a presentation on the subject of living shorelines prepared/delivered by Scott Hardaway. This presentation includes many examples (with pictures and schematics) of relevant bay and river shoreline projects.
2B-3 provides a resume and presentation (the latter includes lots of pictures of relevant projects) that demonstrates Scott Hardaway's and Coastline Design, P.C.'s qualifications. 2B-4 provides the proposal that Coastline Design, P.C. delivered to the Shoreline Committee in May 2021.
This proposal represents the foundation of our two grant proposals, i.e., the work that will be performed should we receive either of the two grants.
The sixth attachment (2C) is identical to attachment 1D provided above.
The seventh attachment (2D) is identical to attachment 1A provided above.
OTHER INFO RELEVANT TO OUR SHORELINE PROJECT
Here's a journal article co-authored by Scott Hardaway, president of the company (Coastal Design, P.C.) that will perform the design phase effort should we be awarded either of the two grants. The article addresses the subject of headland-breakwater systems along the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Since this is one of the erosion mitigation techniques that Scott plans to incorporate in our shoreline restoration/protection solution, this article should further your understanding of why this technique makes sense for us and how it works.
