ITEM BACKGROUND: On June 15, 2017 EPA issued their FY17 South Florida Special Initiatives Request for Proposals (RFP). County staff, with AN EC's assistance, prepared a grant application for the final phase of the Canal Implementation Plan, in the amount of $70,884.00, of which the County and municipalities are providing a combined total of $5,725.00 in non - federal cash match. It was submitted on June 24th, a day in advance of the June 25, 2017 deadline. This grant application, if successful, will be utilized to continue the initiative in improving the water quality in the Keys. Under the existing EPA grant X7- OOD40915 for Phase IIIA of the Canal Management Master Plan (CMMP), work includes refinement of the dissolved oxygen (DO) data for all 311 Fair and Poor ranked canals using the modified FDEP DO standard. The updated dissolved oxygen, along with results from the completed canal restoration demonstration projects, have yet to be finalized and incorporated into the CMMP database, including as the basis for an update to water quality rankings for restoration projects. Additionally, the County and municipalities are lacking an implementation plan to evaluate the cost along with the DO improvements to determine strategies to reduce costs as part of a countywide implementation of canal restoration technologies. Four tasks were proposed in the Canal Implementation Plan grant application: 1. Update water quality summaries (Good, Fair and Poor) in the CMMP database, and develop a strategy for ranking of projects for implementation that also considers homeowner involvement and potential benefit to nearshore waters, among other criteria. 2. Develop an Implementation Plan which will assist the County and municipalities in selecting canals based on the greatest water quality and cost savings for the limited funds available. 3. Collection of dissolved oxygen data over a month period, 10 samples per canal, for the top 30 poorest ranked canals from the implementation plan. 4. Host Canal Program Workshop with Monroe County and municipalities to discuss results of implementation plan and path forward for the program.

The Water Quality Protection Program (WQPP) Action Plan of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) identifies impaired water quality in residential canals as a priority for corrective action (FDEP, 2013). Phase I and H of the Canal Management Master Plan (CMMP) included the assessment of the 502 residential canals in the Keys using biological indicators and the FDEP dissolved oxygen (DO) standard. Of the 502 residential canals in the Keys, 311 canals were ranked Fair or Poor since they did not meet the State's water quality standards, and are a source of nutrients and other pollutants to near shore waters. Phase IRA of the CMMP included the refinement of the DO data for all 311 Fair or Poor ranked canals using the modified FDEP DO standard. Of the 311 Fair or Poor ranked canals in the Keys, 38 did not meet the current FDEP water quality standard for dissolved oxygen based on grab samples collected in February 2017. The updated dissolved oxygen, along with results from the completed canal restoration demonstration projects, have yet to be fully incorporated into the CMMP database; including as the basis for an update to water quality rankings for restoration projects. Additionally, the County and municipalities are lacking an implementation plan to evaluate the cost along with the DO improvements to determine strategies to reduce costs as part of a countywide implementation of canal restoration technologies. Three tasks are proposed to implement the plan: 1) update water quality summaries (Good, Fair and Poor) in the CMMP database, and develop a strategy for ranking of projects for implementation that considers homeowner involvement and potential benefit to nearshore waters; 2) develop implementation plan which will assist the County and municipalities in selecting canals based on the greatest water quality and cost savings for the limited funds they have available; 3) collection of dissolved oxygen data over a month period, 10 samples per canal, for the top 30 ranked canals from the implementation plan; and 4) Canal Program Workshop with Monroe County and municipalities to discuss results of implementation plan and path forward for the program. He 11111 1111 , 111 1 111111 1 11 11111 111111111 IIIqI 11111 1.0 Introduction The Water Quality Protection Program (WQPP) Action Plan of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) identifies impaired water quality in residential canals as a priority for corrective action (FDEP, 2013). Using these priorities, the Canal Restoration Advisory Subcommittee (Subcommittee) was created to provide scientific and objective oversight of the Canal Restoration Program including the development of the Canal Management Master Plan (CMMP). Phase I of the CMMP developed a set of project goals and objectives that were initially approved by the Subcommittee. The objectives that were identified and adopted by the Subcommittee are as follows: (1) Water Quality — Eutrophication and DO- Related Issues; (2) Water Quality — Organic Material (e.g., Weed Wrack); (3) Sediment Quality; (4) Habitat Quality and (5) Public involvement in the canal management process. Phase II of the CMMP included the assessment of the 502 residential canals in the Keys using biological indicators and the FDEP dissolved oxygen (DO) standard as identified in the 2012 edition of 62- 302.530, FAC, for Class III Marine Waters. The standard stated that DO shall never be measured at less than 4.0 mg /L at any point or at any time. The DO conditions in conjunction with biological indicators were used to summarize the water quality of each canal as follows: DO Conditions Biological Conditions Water Quality Summary > 4.0 mg/L Positive Good > 4.0 mg/L Negative Fair 3.0 - 4.0 mg/L Positive Fair 3.0 - 4.0 mg/L Negative Poor < 3.0 mg/L N/A Poor 1 Of the 502 residential canals in the Keys, 311 canals were ranked Fair or Poor since they did not meet the State's water quality standards, and are a source of nutrients and other pollutants to near shore waters. Phase HIA of the CMMP included the collection of sediment cores from a subset of canals that have documented organic detritus bottom sediment loading greater than 0.75 feet in thickness to evaluate the potential for reusing canal sediments in their planning and cost evaluation along with refined DO data for all 311 Fair or Poor ranked canals using the modified FDEP DO standard from the 4 mg /L (at any location at any time) threshold to percent saturation (based on 24 -hr measurements at a specified location) as follows: 1. The percent DO saturation measured over a 24 -hour period (with a sample frequency of at least once per hour) shall not be below 42 percent saturation in more than 10 percent of the values (i.e. at least 90 percent of the 24 DO saturation measurements have to be above 42 percent); 2. The weekly average DO percent saturation shall not be below 51 percent; and 3. The monthly average DO percent saturation shall not be below 56 percent. Of the 311 Fair or Poor ranked canals in the Keys, 38 did not meet the current FDEP water quality standard for dissolved oxygen based on grab samples collected in February 2017. Additionally, diel monitoring completed at ten selected canals in May 2017 indicates that the dissolved oxygen measurements collected for the 311 Fair or Poor canals in February 2017 underestimates the number of canals that exhibit dissolved oxygen less than 42 percent saturation in more than 10 percent of the values. Seven of the ten canals selected for diel monitoring exhibited dissolved oxygen less than 42 PA percent saturation in more than 10 percent of the values. However, of these seven canals, only one was identified as not meeting the FDEP water quality standard for dissolved oxygen in February 2017. The updated dissolved oxygen and bathymetry data, along with results from the completed canal restoration demonstration projects, have yet to be fully incorporated into the CMMP database; including as the basis for an update to water quality rankings for restoration projects Additionally, the County and municipalities are lacking an implementation plan to evaluate the cost along with the DO improvements to determine strategies to reduce costs as part of a countywide implementation of canal restoration technologies. 1, Ike _ � j sp - The Monroe County CMMP identified canals impaired due to low dissolved oxygen, high organic matter, poor flushing, and poor water clarity. The objective of the proposed scope of work is to develop an implementation plan to be used to select and track projects from the planning, design, construction, and operation, maintenance and monitoring (OM &M) phases. The plan will include the following items: 1) update water quality summaries (Good, Fair and Poor) in the CMMP database, and develop a strategy for ranking of projects for implementation that considers homeowner involvement and potential benefit to nearshore waters; 2) Evaluation of strategies to reduce costs as part of a countywide implementation of canal restoration technologies, such as economies of scale, effect of grouping similar technologies into a single project, grouping restorations on a geographical basis, pre - qualifying vendors, and how policy and assessment criteria might impact program cost to achieve the highest water quality improvement; 3) collection of dissolved oxygen data over a month period, 10 samples per canal, for the top 30 ranked canals from the implementation plan to determine a monthly average for the variation in time of day and tidal cycle for the future canal restoration projects; and 4) assistance with preparations for Canal 3 Program Workshop with Monroe County and municipalities to discuss results of implementation plan and path forward for the program. w, A key goal of the CMMP is to identify and implement pilot projects that demonstrate innovated approaches to restoring water quality in the canal systems in the Florida Keys. The three tasks identified here would investigate cost effective ways to improve existing restoration practices, provide additional water quality improvement alternatives to those already identified or implemented via the CMMP, and develop funding strategies to help assure they can be implemented in the long -term. These tasks would improve and maintain the overall water quality of the near shore and coastal waters of the FKNMS. In EPA's FKNMS Water Quality dow womm 2.0 Methods and Approach In order to achieve the objectives defined above, Monroe County proposes to conduct the following tasks. Task 1: Update CMMP database This task will set the frame work for the following tasks, in evaluating the current ranking factors along with the additional data obtained to refine the CMMP database and water quality summaries. Background: During the Phase H CMMP, various ranking factors where applied to the canals such as ease of permitting and implementation to select a list of demonstration projects. Phase III -A CMMP, DO readings were collected using the modified FDEP DO standard along with the collection sediment cores to refine the thickness of organic muck within the canals. Using this data, the County and municipalities will update water quality summaries and evaluate refining the ranking strategies for selecting projects. H Methods: The CMMP database will be updated with the expanded DO and bathymetric data along with relevant cost information from the completed demonstration projects. The database will then be analyzed to determine the applicable either traditional restoration technology or an alternative technology vetted during the EPA Grant for Water Quality Improvement. Upon that analysis, the ranking factors for the selection of canals will be reviewed to incorporate lessons learned during the demonstration projects such as homeowner involvement and potential benefit to nearshore waters. Task 2: Implementation Plan Aspects of the demonstration projects that directly affect restoration costs include design, permitting, and construction constraints. Using lessons learned during the Demonstration Projects implementation, engineers will identify cost constraints that impacted the price of the demonstration projects and implementation strategies that can limit the number of canal restorations required to achieve the regulatory water quality objectives. This document will provide the County and the municipalities a tool to select and track projects from the planning, design, construction and the OM &M phases. Background: Monroe County and the municipalities are financially challenged to undertake further canal restoration efforts due to a lack of resources and long -term operation and maintenance funding strategy. Therefore the County and municipalities will look to better allocate those resources through smart planning which puts an emphasis on economies of size, potential for greatest impact on the near shore waters, and low operations and maintenance cost. Methods This task will examine the value in refining the selection criteria so that the canals first chosen for restoration will have the greatest impact on the near shore waters. This task will examine the demonstration projects to determine which project was most cost effective in terms of construction cost and long term maintenance cost. This task will include the development of a selection criteria that 61 places greater importance on homeowner approval. This task will evaluate the cost savings associated with proposed restoration programs that group restorations based on geographies, economies of scale, and anticipated near shore water quality improvement. Task 3: Canal Program Water Ouality Monitoring The task will entail collecting dissolved oxygen data over a month period, 10 samples per canal, for the top 30 ranked canals from the implementation plan. Background: This task will provide the County and municipalities further information to help with evaluating the implementation strategy for future canal restoration projects. The selection of the canals will be coordinated with the County and municipalities. Methods: With the assistance of a boat, Amec Foster Wheeler will collect DO readings in the selected canals on a vertical profile using a YSI multi - meter. The results of the analysis will be presented as an average DO reading for the profile. Based on recommendations from the FDEP, the DO readings will be collected from the approximate canal center. If a canal is exceptionally long (greater than 0.5 miles in length with multiple 90 degree turns), readings may be collected from multiple locations and then averaged so that the canal is adequately characterized. The DO readings will be collected on ten separate days within a one month period. The sample times will be varied to provide a representative dataset. The ten DO readings will be averaged to determine the monthly average DO reading for each canal. Based on the results, the canals will either be confirmed or kept the in the same implementation strategy or changed to the most appropriate ranking. C9 Task 4: Non - Federal Funding Canal Program Workshop The task will entail assisting Monroe County and municipalities in preparing for a Canal Program Workshop to discuss the implementation plan and the path forward for the program. Background: This task will provide the County and municipalities leadership the opportunity to reflect on the implementation plan and discuss strategies on moving the program forward. Methods: This task will include the following services with the County and municipalities: 1) Hold weekly conference calls to discuss strategy 2) Attend meetings to assist in preparing for the workshop 3) Assist with the preparation of the workshop agenda and review presentation materials. 4) Attend the workshop Amec Foster Wheeler will incorporate comments from the workshop into the implementation plan and provide a final document to the County and municipalities. This effort will assist with assuring long term improvement of the water quality of the Keys canals, nearshore waters of the Keys and waters of the in the National Marine Sanctuary. It supports the goals and objectives of the FKNMS WQPP, Florida Keys Water Quality Improvements Act (FKWQIA) and the FKWQIP, and is in compliance with relevant federal and state regulatory requirements and mandates. Following completion of these tasks, the implementation plan will need to be integrated into the strategy for selecting canals in order to achieve the desired environmental benefits with the limited funds available. Two existing stakeholder groups — the WQPP Steering Committee and its Canals Restoration Advisory Subcommittee — will ensure that implementation occurs. These two groups are broadly based, including a number of relevant federal, state and local government agencies, and have a proven track record on successful environmental management in the Keys. 3.0 Project Management N N, The Principal Investigator (PI) is responsible for and has the experience and authority to plan, control and monitor, manage and direct the project's human and other resources to best meet project objectives.
