Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners is considering the renewal of a Sovereignty Submerged Lands Easement for the maintenance of eight existing groins along the beach in Ocean Ridge. This easement, originally approved in 1996 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Palm Beach County Shoreline Protection Project, is proposed for renewal for a 25-year period. The renewal would begin retroactively on June 7, 2021, and expire on June 7, 2046. This item is currently under review, with staff recommending approval. The renewal covers ongoing maintenance of existing structures and does not involve new construction. Businesses involved in coastal maintenance, marine services, or related environmental consulting may find opportunities as this renewal moves forward. Early engagement could be beneficial as the specifics of ongoing maintenance requirements are clarified.
