e. Project Summary:
The goal of this project is two-fold: To dredge the Boat Club Park channel and provide additional markers in a effort to correct and
prevent navigation problems, providing safe passage to and from the Boynton Inlet and to renovate the Boat Club Park restrooms
for boaters. The navigational channel was dredged in 200 I, as a cooperative project with Palm Beach County Environmental
Resource Management. We plan to employ the same method, using backhoe and barage. The restrooms, originally built in 1984
with a Florida Boating Improvement Program grant, require complete interior renovations. The City will contract this project out.
Upon completion of the dredging and restroom renovations, boaters will experience safe passage to and from the Boynton Inlet and
have the convience of fully operational and asthetically pleasing restroom facilities.

D Environmental Needs of the Area
D Other:
D High Demand by Users
D Recommended by FWC Staff
D Lack of In-house Capability
b. Need Statement:
Boat Club Park is among the most popular boating facilities in Palm Beach County. Conviently accessed via
Gateway Boulevard from 1-95, the newly renovated six ramps give immediate ocean access upon boat launching
via the Boynton Inlet. The site is home to the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 54 and recieves heavy use from
residents throughout Palm Beach County as well as Broward and Martin Counties. Based on surveys and parking
decal sales on weekends, it is estimated that 50% of the boat launching is by non-city residents. There were 9,828
vessels launched at Boat Club Park in 2005, with an annual attendance of23,000 people. This facility is open to
the general public, a $ 10 parking fee is charged on weekends/holidays only. The nearest boat ramp to the north is
Lantana Sportsman's Park (2 ramps) and to the south, Knowles Park, Delray Beach (2 ramps).
Over the years the channel has filled with sand causing difficulties for boaters. Without proper maintenance of the
navigational channel boaters are at risk. Vessels get stuck, causing serious implications for the passengers safety;
stranded boaters will require towing services and may pose potential problems for others to navigate around them
until they can be removed. In addition, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary operates out of the Boat Club building.
Ensuring access to the Boynton Inlet is paramount for the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and boater safety.
The public restrooms, built in 1984, have never been renovated. Toilets, sinks, fixtures, water fountains, tile, etc.
must be replaced. With park visitors reaching 23,000 /yr. and many boaters traveling with children, renovated
restrooms with changing stations is essential. This project will enhance the safety and overall recreational
experience for the 23,000 boaters in Palm Beach, Martin, and Broward Counties who utilize this launch facility
on a regular basis.

VIII - BOATER SAFETY
a. Explain how the project may affect boater safety whether positively or negatively.
Without proper maintenance of the navigational channel boaters are at risk. Vessels get stuck, causing serious
implications for the passengers safety, stranded boaters will require towing services and may pose potential problems
for others to navigate around them until they can be removed, motors can be damaged resulting high cost repairs.
The Boat Club Park navigation channel is particulary important as it provides access directly to the Boynton Inlet and
must remain accessible to the Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 54, Division 5, District 7, based at Boat Club Park.
Bruce Parmett Flotilla Commander-54 states: "As Commander of the USCG Auxiliary 54, I have received many
verbal complaints regarding the shoaling (silt and sand build up) on both the north and south sides of the very narrow
east, west channel from the ramp area to the center of the intra coastal channel. At low tide boats drawing two feet or
more churn mud or bounce the bottom on these shoaled areas. At high tide, the shoaling is still visible. I have
personally witnessed boats running aground in these areas. In addition to the dredging, new red and green markers
should be placed in the appropriate areas on the north and south side of the channel. These markers allow the boaters
to follow the exact path needed to be taken."
