Project Description:
The scope of the project consists of the construction of storm sewer improvements in the area bounded by N.W. 4 Terrace, N.W. 47 Avenue, N.W. 7 Street, N.W. 51 Avenue and the western portion of Antonio Maceo Park. The improvements consists of a new storm sewer gravity conveyance system connected to a water quality structure, pump station and forcemain outfalling to the C-4 Canal via a new outfall including surface restoration. Note: Storm water from this project discharges to the C-4 Canal (Tamiami Canal) which connects to the Biscayne Bay via the Miami River. Biscayne Bay is a SFWMD priority water body.
 
Is this a project related to 2004 hurricane damage? No
 
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
Mitigation of flood conditions in the regional system that will complement the SFWMD major improvements to the C-4 canal (basin) which connects to the Biscayne Bay via the Miami River, reduced flood damage insurance claims, and water quality enhancements to the C-4 Canal, Miami River, and Biscayne Bay.

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:
1) City of Miami Storm Drainage Master Plan ((Page 2-1, Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3, Page 2-4, Figure 2-4); 2) Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 (Pages 1 and 2 of the Sanitary and Storm Sewers, Coastal Management, and Natural Resource Conservation sections; 3) City of Miami Capital Improvement Program 2004-2005 and Multi Year Capital Plan (Section 8, page 18); 4) Miami-Dade County Flood Management Task Force (Section 5-2)
 
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: 350000
  Match Source: City of Miami Homeland Defense Neighborhood Improvement Bonds
 
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:
For this project, pre-treatment of the surface runoff occurs in the grass swales. Once the runoff enters the storm drain system, sumps in the storm structures will provide for initial collection of sediments along with baffles to retain oil and greases. Existing exfiltration trenches in the existing storm sewer collection system will provide treatment for the runoff from impervious surfaces. Weirs will be constructed in storm structures immediately downstream of exfiltration trenches to retain low flows in the trenches for exfiltration rather than allowing free discharge. In addition, a BMP water quality treatment unit will be installed on the pump station collection system to provide treatment by removing oils and 80% of particles with specific gravity of 2.65 down to 150 microns from runoff prior to pumping. Also, existing exfiltration trenches will be cleaned to remove all accumulated debris and silt in order to optimize operation of the existing drainage system.
 
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
