NBV - Storm Drainage, Sewage, Bay Restoration
 
Requester: Mayor Joe Geller Organization: City of North Bay Village
 
Project Title: NBV - Storm Drainage, Sewage, Bay Restoration Date Submitted 1/14/2005 1:42:40 PM
 
Sponsors: Margolis
 
Statewide Interest:
Biscayne Bay is currently exposed to almost 10,000 Linear Feet of NBV - Miami Beach bound sewage pipe that will be replaced by a new NBV-Miami bound sewage pipe that will expose 300 LF of pipe to Biscayne Bay. This project involves storm water improvements to all roadways affected, nearly 15,000 LF.

Project Description:
This will be the biggest environmentally focused project the city has encountered. Biscayne Bay is currently exposed to almost 10,000 Linear Feet of NBV-Miami Beach bound sewage pipe. This project involves a new Miami bound pipe. The new main force will originate at the City's Main Sewer pump station (Galleon St.) and travel to N. Treasure Dr. turn North at Adventure Ave.and West on J.F. Kennedy Causeway (SR 934). It will turn South in N.E. 6th St. (Miami) and end at Miami-Dade County's Sewer Lift Station just south of SR934. This project involves storm water improvements to all roadways affected. The environment will benefit the most by replacing the current East bound 10,000 Linear Feet of raw sewage pipe that crosses Biscayne Bay to only 300 Linear Feet of new West bound pipe. If horizontal directional drilling is used to cross under Biscayne Bay there would be zero pipe exposure to the Bay.
 
Is this a project related to 2004 hurricane damage? No
 
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
The addition of treatment system from this proposed project will allow for removal of typical pollutants in storm water runoff. Most importantly the reduction and or elimination of a potential catastropic raw sewage contamination to Biscayne Bay and the waters of the United States.
 
Amount requested from the State for this project this year: $899,000
 
Total cost of the project: $1,798,000
 
Request has been made to fund: Construction
 
What type of match exists for this project? Local
  Cash Amount $899,000  
 
Was this project previously funded by the state?   No
 
Is future-year funding likely to be requested?   Yes
  Amount: $2,352,000 To Fund: Construction
 
Was this project included in an Agency's Budget Request?   No
 
Was this project included in the Governor's Recommended Budget? No
 
Is there a documented need for this project? Yes
  Documentation: North Bay Village Wastewater System Evaluation Report
 
Was this project request heard before a publicly noticed meeting of a body of elected officials (municipal, county, or state)?   Yes
  Hearing Body: Miami-Dade Legislative Delegation
  Hearing Meeting Date: 01/06/2005
 
Is this a water project as described in Section 403.885, Laws of Florida?   Yes
Has the project been submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection? No
Is this project eligible under section 403.885(5) F.S.? Yes
 
Is your project addressed in a state, regional or local plan (such as a SWIM plan, Comprehensive Plan, local master plan, etc.)? Yes
Name the plan and cite the pages on which the project is described:
Miami-Dade Mitigation Strategy June 30 2005
 
If you are requesting funding for a stormwater or surface water restoration project:
 
Which Water Management District has the jurisdiction of your project?
  South Florida Water Management District
Have you provided at least 50% match? Yes
  Match Amount: 786000
  Match Source: Miami-Dade General Obligation B/ond
 
Will this project reduce pollutant loadings to a water management district designated 'priority' surface water body? Yes
  Name of water body: Biscayne Bay
 
Describe how it will reduce loadings, identify anticipated load reductions for total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and other contaminants, and specify the practices that will be used to reduce loadings:
The addition of treatment system from this proposed project will allow removal of typical pollutants in storm water runoff. First flush pollution control can achieve up to 50% reduction of contaminants. Complete removal of 10,000 Linear feet of raw sewage pipe that crosses Biscayne Bay would eliminate pipe exposure to the waters of the United States. This will be achieved by redirecting a new pipe using horizontal directional drilling to cross under Biscayne Bay.
 
If you are requesting funding for a wastewater project:
 
Does your project qualify for funding from DEP's 'Small Community Wastewater Treatment Grant Program' under section 403.1838 F.S.? No
 
Other wastewater projects:
 
Have you received previous legislative funding for this project? No
 
Is the project under construction? No
 
Have you provided at least a 25% local match? No
