Task 1: Update CMMP database
This task will set the frame work for the following tasks, in refining the CMMP
database to include updating water quality summaries from CMMP Phase III -A
along with the additional data obtained from the completion of the canal restoration
demonstration projects and FIU water quality and benthic monitoring.
Background: During the Phase II 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. With the completion of the canal
restoration demonstration projects and FIU monitoring along with the
aforementioned water quality data, the CMMP database will be updated to provide
the County and municipalities a range of information for selecting projects based on
applicable technology and funding availability .
Methods: The _CMMP database will be updated with the expanded DO and
bathymetric data along with relevant cost and monitoring 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.
Date Due: March 30, 2019
Deliverable: An executive summary and database in excel format will be
submitted to Monroe County and municipalities detailing the results of the water
quality summaries along with the cost and water quality effectiveness of the
Canal Restoration Demonstration projects and monitoring results.
2
Task 2: Update to the CMMP to develop a Guidance 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 task will include the creation of
a technical advisory group to 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 Tong -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: A group of technical advisors will examine the CMMP and determine
the necessary action items to develop the guidance document. The results from the
group will be summarized and brought before the FKNMS WQPP Canal Restoration
Advisory Subcommittee for discussion prior to moving forward with the update.
Following the inclusion of any suggested updates from the Subcommittee, the
guidance document will be prepared and presented to the FKNMS WQPP Steering
Committee for discussion and approval. Upon approval from the Steering
committee the guidance document will be finalized to be utilized by the and
municipalities for the implementation of canal restoration projects.
Date due: October 30, 2019
Deliverable: The guidance document will be submitted to Monroe County and
municipalities that details the strategies for selecting projects based on the
strategies identified in the technical advisory group and subsequent committee
meetings. The document will be provided to the County and municipalities to be
used to prioritize and select projects based on applicable technology and funding
limitations.

B. Proposal Work Plan - Activity W. 10: Improve Water Quality in Residential Canals
1.0 Introduction
1.a Situation, Need, and Previous Efforts —
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 (1-DEP, 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
1
< 3.0 mg/L N/A Poor
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 IIIA 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 as follows:
1. The daily average DO percent saturation shall not be below 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 by grab sample may be insufficient to characterize the predominant
dissolved oxygen saturation in a water body. For example, of the ten canals selected for diel
monitoring, only one canal exhibited a DO saturation below 42 percent during the grab sampling
activities. Additionally, canal 82 exhibited a DO saturation of 80 percent in the grab sample, but
exhibited a daily average DO saturation of 36 percent based on the diel measurements.
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
2
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.b Objective(s) - 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 update the CMMP to develop a guidance document 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), lessons learned from the implementation of the canal restoration
demonstration projects, and FIU water quality and benthic monitoring results in the CMMP, and; 2)
the guidance document will evaluate 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.
1.c Applications, Benefits, and Importance - 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 two tasks identified here would update the CMMP to develop
a guidance document for the County and Municipalities to 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
3
quality of the canals, near shore and coastal waters of the FKNMS. In EPA's FKNMS Water
Quality Protection Program (WQPP) 2013 Report to Congress it states that "Addressing the
complexities of canal restoration is a high priority future activity" (EPA 2013).
2.0 Methods and Approach
2.d Description of Major Tasks - 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 refusing the CMMP database to
include updating water quality summaries from CMMP Phase III -A along with the additional data
obtained from the completion of the canal restoration demonstration projects and FIU water quality
and benthic monitoring.
Background: During the Phase II 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. With the -
completion of the canal restoration demonstration projects and FIU monitoring along with the
aforementioned water quality data, the CMMP database will be updated to provide the County and
- - municipalities- a -range of information for selecting projects based on applicable technology and
funding availability .
Methods: The CMMP database will be updated with the expanded DO and bathymetric data
along with relevant cost and monitoring information from the completed demonstration projects.
The database will then be analyzed to determine the applicable either traditional restoration
4
technology or an alternative technology vetted during the EPA Grant for Water Quality
Improvement.
Task 2: Update to the CMMP to develop a Guidance 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 task will include the creation of a technical
advisory group to 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: A group of technical advisors will examine the CMMP and determine the necessary
action items to develop the guidance document. The results from the group will be summarized and
brought before the FKNMS WQPP Canal Restoration Advisory Subcommittee for discussion prior
to moving forward with the update. Following the inclusion of any suggested updates from the
Subcommittee, the guidance document will be prepared and presented to the FKNMS WQPP
Steering Committee for discussion and approval. Upon approval from the Steering committee the
guidance document will be finalized to be utilized by the County and municipalities for the
implementation of canal restoration projects.

2.e Environmental Impact - 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.
2.f Future Efforts — Following completion of these tasks to update the CMMP to develop a
guidance document 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 FKNMS WQPP Steering Committee and its Canals Restoration Advisory Subcommittee — will
review the guidance document to verify it is technically sound and thorough. These two groups are
broadly based, and include a number of relevant federal, state and local government agencies, and
have proven track record on successful environmental management in the Keys.
3.0 Project Management
3.g Administration
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. The PI will track project metrics such as the scope, timeline, work in progress, work
completed, and budget use, and is responsible to the project stakeholders for achieving the project's
objectives in terms of scope, schedule, cost, and quality.

document will be provided to the County and municipalities to be used to prioritize and select
projects based on applicable technology and funding limitations. Schedule: within 12 months of
NTP.
6.0 Environmental Results — Outcomes and Outputs
6.n Outputs, Outcomes and Results
(i) Outputs (project products) - The project will produce the following products. Task 1 will
update the canal rankings as having poor or fair water quality and analyze the cost and water quality
effectiveness of the Canal Restoration Demonstration projects. Task 2 will results in the
development of an guidance document which will assist the County and the municipalities in
8
selecting canals based on the greatest water quality and cost savings for the limited fund they have
available.
(ii) Outcomes (project objectives) - A key goal of tasks 1 and 2 is to develop a guidance
document that incorporates the greatest water quality improvement and cost savings for the County
and municipalities to select and track projects from the planning, design, construction, and OM &M
phases. These tasks would improve and maintain the potential for long term projects that will restore
the overall water quality of the near shore and coastal waters of the FKNMS.
(iii) Link to EPA Strategic Plan - The project products and objectives support EPA's Strategic
Plan (Fiscal Year 2014 — 2018) Goal 2 Protecting America's Waters and meet the EPA objective 2.2
of `Protect and restore watersheds and protect coastal and ocean resources and ecosystems by
improving water quality of oceans, estuaries, and watersheds.' This project will help to meet these
objectives by improving water quality within the canal systems of the Florida Keys that discharge into adjacent
nearshore and coastal waters.
6.o Tracking Outputs and Outcomes — The update to the CMIVIP to develop a guidance document
will establish an adaptive management process, which will identify the specific programmatic steps that will be
taken by the WQPP Steering Committee and the Canals Subcommittee to periodically assess the effectiveness
of the canal management actions, measure progress toward goals, and (when necessary) redirect efforts in
more productive directions.
