AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a Request For Proposal for the backfilling of
canal 75 in Key Largo, funded by the State Stewardship grant for FYI 7.
ITEM BACKGROUND: DEP is funding this project through the Stewardship grant. Canal 475 in
Key Largo was identified as a Poor canal that is too deep, lacks oxygen, and is in need of a
backfilling restoration. The restoration of Canal 475 in Rock Harbor involves backfilling to raise the
canal bottom to 6 feet below the Mean Sea Level, which is the optimum depth to allow for tidal flow
in and out of the canal. These improvements are anticipated to restore the impaired waters of the
canal, and bring the dissolved oxygen levels up to meet State 62 -302 Class 3 marine water quality
standards.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
02/15/17: Authorize entering into a $1.5M income grant from the Department of Environmental
Regulation as part of the Keys Stewardship program for canal restoration projects (to fund the 4
Canals 448, 459, 479, and 480 for Augmented Aeration and Canal 75 for backfilling).
