INLET SUMMARY SHEET SITE: Big Hickory Pass, Lee County, Florida

DATE AND TIME OF ORIGINAL FIELD SURVEY [TIDE]: 2 June 1995; 1630

[High @ 1545 (+2.82); Coconut Point; Estero Bay]

UPDATED: In October 2011 using imagery collected in 2010 and 2011.

RANKING (DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY): (see ranking scale)

B. PRINCIPAL RESOURCES AT RISK:

Mangroves. Manatees present. Atlantic loggerhead turtles nest on outer beaches. Shorebirds; wading birds; seabirds, including the Brown pelican; waterfowl; and raptors, including the Osprey and Southern bald eagle. The American alligator. Marina facilities, boats, seawalls, revetments, docks, etc. along the shores of Broadway Channel and Estero Bay. Marine turtle nesting on barrier island beaches May through October, small tooth sawfish critical habitat, seagrass often present in submerged beds to water depths of six feet. For further information refer to the recent ESI map and data and the GRP.

PRELIMINARY PROTECTION STRATEGY:

Close off the washover terrace threatening to breach the spit on the north side of the inlet with a sediment dike (about 250 yards long). Divert oil entering the inlet through the marginal flood channels of the ebb-tidal delta to collection points along the outer sand beaches (CPs 1, 2, and 3). Place a line of protection boom along the entire east shoreline of the main inlet channel from CP2 to the northeast end of the Estero Blvd. (Route 865) Bridge (CP7). Inside the main inlet channel about 170 yards beyond (east of) CP2, extend a line of deflection boom obliquely across the main inlet channel to the sand bar on the northeast end of the Bonita Beach peninsula (CP4). Place another anchor point about 300 yards further along the east shore of the main inlet channel from which a line of deflection boom is extended obliquely across the main inlet channel to a seawall on the west shore (CP5). A short distance beyond CP5, place the lead anchor point of a Christmas tree configuration of deflection boom in the middle of the channel. The north limb of the C. tree leads to a sand beach/seawall combination at the northeast end of the Estero Blvd. Bridge (CP7), and the south limb leads to a seawall on the west shore (CP6). From the seawall at CP7, extend a line of deflection boom obliquely across the main inlet channel to a combination seawall/boat ramp on the west shore east of the southeast end of the Estero Blvd. Bridge (CP8). Finally, the entire western shoreline of the main inlet channel between CP5 and CP8 should be lined with protection boom.

oil to accumulate on. Access: There is a paved area right up to the seawall, but this is private property. If you cannot

gain access from land, use watercraft.

SITE: Wiggins Pass, Collier County, Florida

DATE AND TIME OF ORIGINAL FIELD SURVEY [TIDE]: 3 June 1995; 0850

[Low @ 0939 (+1.26); Naples (outer coast)]

UPDATED: In October 2011 using imagery collected in 2010 and 2011.

RANKING (DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY): (see ranking scale)

B.

PRINCIPAL RESOURCES AT RISK:

Mangroves. Manatees present. Atlantic loggerhead turtles nest on outer beaches. Shorebirds; wading birds; seabirds, including Brown pelican; waterfowl; and raptors, including the Osprey and Southern bald eagle. Marina facilities, boats, seawalls, revetments, docks, etc. along the shores of the Cocohatchee River, Vanderbilt Channel and Lagoon. For further information refer to the recent ESI map and data and the GRP.

PRELIMINARY PROTECTION STRATEGY:

Divert oil entering the inlet through the marginal flood channels of the ebb-tidal delta to collection points along the outer sand beaches (CPs 1 and 2). Place the lead anchor of a Christmas tree configuration of deflection boom near the entrance to the main inlet channel, the north limb of which goes to a sand beach on the southern end of Wiggins Island (CP4), and the south limb of which leads to a sand beach on the south side of the main inlet channel (CP3). Place a short limb of deflection along the southwest side of the submerged flood-tidal delta designed to also divert oil to CP3. From CP3, extend a line of deflection boom along the southeast side of the submerged flood-tidal delta to an anchor point on the west side of the Vanderbilt Channel. From that anchor point, extend a line of deflection boom obliquely across Vanderbilt Channel to a sand beach/sand flat on the east side of that channel (CP5). Place protection boom at the high-tide line of CP5, as well as around the mangroves to the northeast of the sand flat. From there, place a line of deflection boom along the south margin of the extension of the main inlet channel and to an open water skimmer located about 250 yards to the east of Vanderbilt Channel (CP6). Continue a line of deflection boom for 150 yards to the east to another open water skimmer (CP7). From CP4, place about 250 yards of protection boom along the north side of the main inlet channel. From there, extend a line of deflection boom all the way

PRELIMINARY PROTECTION STRATEGY (CONTINUED):

to the open water skimmer at CP6, with another line of deflection boom continuing on to the open water skimmer at CP7.

OTHER COMMENTS:

Despite it relatively small size, this inlet is ranked B during adverse conditions, because very strong ebb-tidal currents (3 knots; estimated) were observed in the main inlet channel during the original field survey in 1995.

Collection Point Description

Inlet: Wiggins Pass, Collier County, Florida Site Name: Collection Point #1 Relative Location: Outer beach just south of the main inlet channel in Delnor-Wiggins Pass

State Park. Latitude: 26°17' 10.567" N Longitude: 81°49' 56.404" W Currents: 1-3 knots along shore to the north during rising tides. The boom stretches across the

southern marginal channel of the ebb-tidal delta. Shoreline Description: Sand beach. Access: There is a large parking area about 75 yards landward of the high-tide line. There are

some sand tracks that lead away from the parking area to the beach that you could probably drive across, definitely with 4WD vehicles.

259

Collection Point Description

Inlet: Wiggins Pass, Collier County, Florida Site Name: Collection Point #2 Relative Location: Outer beach about 200 yards north of the main inlet channel near the

southern end of Wiggins Island in Barefoot Beach State Preserve. Latitude: 26°17' 29.872" N Longitude: 81°49' 55.351" W Currents: 1-3 knots along shore from the north during rising tides. Shoreline Description: Sand beach. Access: There is a major parking area 0.7 miles north of the CP. There is also a sand track

behind the beach the whole way. You may be able to drive to the CP with 4WD vehicles. If not, use watercraft, but it is still 200 yards from the main inlet channel and the beach in that area is littered with fallen-down trees (obviously a highly erosional area).
