GRANT WORK PLAN
Project Title: Culvert Design and Permitting and Sediment Characterization in the Monroe County Canals
Project Location: Monroe County
Florida Keys Watershed /HUC= 03090203.
Project Background:
The work to be accomplished under this Agreement has been identified by the Canal Restoration Advisory
Subcommittee of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary ( FKNMS) Water Quality Protection Program
(WQPP) as one of the high priority projects to assist with Monroe County canal water quality restorations.
Many of the canals in the FKNMS do not meet the State's minimum water quality criteria for dissolved oxygen and
contain accumulations of organic debris from the deposition of weed wrack trapped in the dead ends of the canals.
This project is a priority of the FKNMS WQPP Steering Committee which recently passed a motion to develop a
plan to prioritize canal restoration projects and to identify funding sources for these projects. The tourism economy
of the Keys depends largely on clean water and a healthy environment and this project is fully supported by the
WQPP Steering Committee and local governments in Monroe County. The successful implementation of this
project is also consistent with the goals of the Florida Keys Reasonable Assurance Document that was recently
adopted by the Department in order to satisfy the requirements of the Impaired Waters Rule, Chapter 62 -303 of the
Florida Administrative Code.
This Agreement contains multiple tasks all related to moving several canals closer to implementation of
demonstration canal water quality improvement restorations. The work under this Agreement includes the
preparation of the final design and permit package for installation of the third ranked culvert in the Monroe County
demonstration project ranking list at a canal in Geiger Key (#472). It also includes detailed sediment
characterization testing which is needed to prepare final engineering designs for organic removal in the two canals
(Big Pine Key #266 and #290) selected for funding of this restoration method in the unincorporated Monroe County
demonstration projects. All of these tasks are required to implement the identified different restoration technologies.
Project Description:
CULVERT DESIGN AND PERMITTING
This project will consist of preparation of the design and permit package for a culvert connection between canal
#470 and #472 in Geiger Key, Florida. The objectives of the project are to: (1) complete preliminary, final and
corrected final design plans; (2) complete hydraulic modeling of the system; (3) prepare permit packages for state,
federal, and local permit applications at the completion of final design plans; and (4) complete construction technical
specifications and engineer's probable construction cost estimate. With the mandate to complete this project by the
end of June 2014, it cannot be guaranteed that all permits will be received by the end of this Agreement period.
The culvert design and permitting scope of work will be divided into 5 tasks as follows:
Task 1: Data Collection/ProcessluE for Culveft Design and Permitting
The first task related to the culvert design and permitting will be collection and processing of data required to
prepare the designs and permit applications.
DEP Agreement S0679, Attachment A, Page I of 6
Bathymetric and Topographic Survey
The Grantee's subcontractor will obtain bathymetric and topographic data for the affected canal area and
surrounding structures within the project boundary. The bathymetric survey will be carried out utilizing a survey -
grade GPS unit operating in Real Time Kinematic (RTK) mode mounted atop an adjustable height rod This
apparatus will be used in a boat to traverse the canal area as best as possible to establish a grid of canal bottom
elevations sufficient to develop a digital elevation model. The topographic data will be acquired using traditional
survey methodologies for the road, existing utilities, private property, and any other significant structure within the
project boundary. Jurisdictional wetland lines and associated water elevations will be determined as required for
permitting. Topographic and bathymetric maps will be prepared for design and permitting of the project. The
survey and all subsequent work will be relative to the North American Datum of 1983/2007 Adjustment
(NAD83 /07) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) based on nearby National Geodetic
Survey (NGS) and/or Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) horizontal and vertical geodetic control
monuments. All surveying and mapping services associated with this assignment will conform with the applicable
requirements of the Department's Bureau of Survey and Mapping, and applicable sections of Florida Administrative
Rule Chapter 5J -17, Minimum Technical Standards, pursuant to Chapter 472, Florida Statutes.
Ecological Surveys
The Grantee's subcontractor will conduct a determination of the boundaries of jurisdictional waters of the U.S.,
including wetlands, on the subject site as required for permitting. Wetlands will be defined using the Routine On-
Site Determination method as described in the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual or the Delineation of lire Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters
[Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Chapter 62.340, F.A.C]. Both protocols use a series of
tests to address three (3) characteristics of wetlands, including the presencelabsence of hydrophytic vegetation,
wetland hydrology, and hydric soils.
Prior to the site visit, the Grantee's subcontractor will research and assemble available soil surveys, site topographic
maps, and National Wetland Inventory maps to preliminarily identify potential waters of the U.S, wetlands and streams.
The Grantee's subcontractor will then conduct the field visit to characterize the delineated wetlands. Delineation
includes on -site determination, marking in the field with a handheld GPS unit (sub -meter accuracy), and flagging of
the aerial extent of each wetland (if any). If any wetlands are identified then a UMAM form will be completed. In
conjunction with the wetland delineation, the subcontractor's scientists will conduct a threatened and endangered
species survey as required in an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) for the proposed action.
The subcontractor's scientist permitted by the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary will conduct an in -water
survey of the benthos for the purpose of identifying the presence any sensitive aquatic resources (i.e. seagrasses,
corals, or sponges) within the immediate area of the project.
Engineering Recon and Geotechnical Exploration
The Grantee's subcontractor will conduct an engineering site visit to determine the site conditions within the project
boundary. A geotechnical field exploration will also be performed consisting of installation of two soil borings at
select locations across the project. The soils will be identified and classified by means of the Unified Soil
Classification System as prescribed in ASTM Designations D2487 and D2488. Only nominal laboratory
classification and index testing is deemed necessary (i.e., moisture content, grain size analysis, organic content, and
corrosivity on one sample). These tests will help enable us to estimate the skin friction and bearing characteristics
of the subsurface soils on the basis of empirical correlations and our prior experience.
Task 1 Deliverables: The final deliverable products will include a technical memorandum which summarizes the
work completed under Task 1. The technical memorandum will include the following attachments: 1) a certified
Surveyor's Report of the survey operation and results; 2) a project narrative of the biological survey results for
submittal with the permit application; 3) a summary of site conditions affecting the engineering design and a log of
each geotechnical borehole, along with plan/profiletcross- sectional views of the location of the boreholes and
subsurface conditions for submittal with the permit application.

SEDIMENT CHARACTERIZATION
Task 6: Sediment Characterization
Sediment samples be collected from the two (2) canals recommended for organic removal during the Monroe
County demonstration projects, Canal #266 located between Bailey and Witters Lanes and Canal #290 located
between Avenues I and J, both in Big Pine Key. In order to prepare design packages and develop detailed costs, it is
proposed that nine sediment cores be collected in each canal. The samples will be collected at three (3) locations
(back, middle and front of each canal) to develop cross sections of the sediment. The existing centerline
bathymetric data will be reviewed to assist with the selection of the exact locations. Three (3) core samples will be
collected at each cross section: 2 sides and middle. It is anticipated that up to 8 feet of vertical core can be collected
at each location. Cores will be logged for evaluation of variations in organic content that will influence the need to
remove the material. In order to confirm the organic content at various locations and depths it is proposed that up to
9 samples per canal (total 18 samples) be analyzed for total organic content by ASTM -13-2974 at a geotechnical
laboratory.
DEP Agreement S0679, Attachment A, Page 5 of 6
s1.0
Additionally, three (3) samples from each canal will be submitted for grain size distribution analysis by ASTM D-
422 to assist with the design for removal of the material from the canal bottoms (total 6 samples). The physical
testing will be performed at AMEC's Geotechnical Lab.
Additionally, one (1) composite sample from canal #290 will be submitted for chemical characterization to
determine disposal options (data is already available for #266). Test America Analytical Laboratories, a State
National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC) certified laboratory will perform the
analyses. The proposed test methods are based upon the previous list of disposal parameters completed under DEP
Agreement No. S0640 and include:
- Organochlorine Pesticides and PCBs by 8081/8082
- Chlorinated Herbicides by 8151
- 8 RCRA Metals by 6010/7471
- Copper by 6010
Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) by 8270 low level
- Total Recoverable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TRPH) by FL -PRO
- TCLP metals (if required based upon total metal's concentrations).
Additionally, one (1) composite sample from each canal will be collected and submitted for Synthetic Precipitation
Leaching Procedure (SPLP) analysis for Copper, Arsenic and Lead to determine leachability.
The Quality Assurance Project Plan developed under DEP Agreement No. S0640 will be revised for this work. Baed
upon the limited number of samples being collected, no field quality control samples will be collected.
It is also proposed that bench scale polymer dosing testing be done on one sample from each canal to assist with the
dewatering design. This testing is being done to evaluate the turbidity of the dewatering fluid prior to discharge.
Toxicity testing is not included and additional polymer testing may be required for the final design.
Deliverable: A technical memorandum containing the above referenced test results, revised volumes of sediment
recommended for removal, and a summary of sediment disposal options that will meet all applicable Department
regulations, including the requirements of Chapter 62 -160 of the Florida Administrative Code.
Budget: $24,899.50 for contractual services
