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 existing drainage system has deteriorated reinforced concrete pipes, which are now failing at the joints. There is erosion over and around the pipe. These pipes will be replaced with new reinforced concrete pipes, catch basins, and pollution control boxes with the requested funds. Loadings will be reduced through 3 chambered pollution control boxes that have filtration screens and hydrocarbon booms. Weirs in the boxes trap sediment, the screens trap nutrient rich vegetation and litter, and booms absorb hydrocarbons, thus preventing the release of nutrients into Biscayne Bay. The trapped debris is dried in the box and removed through the Village's maintenance program.
