AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a solicitation for the restoration of canal 84
in Rock Harbor in Key Largo, funded by revenue grant agreement 4LPA0089 with the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This item approves the advertisement of a solicitation for the canal 84
restoration project.
The restoration work is funded by grant agreement 4LPA0089 with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection which reallocated Stewardship grant funds for use in a canal restoration
for canal 84 in Rock Harbor in Key Largo and for general program/project management services.
Grant Agreement SD0011 from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) funded
the permitting, design and procurement of the project.
Canal 484 in Key Largo is identified as a Poor water quality canal that is filled with organic
sediment, has deep pockets, lacks oxygen, and needs restoration. Canal 484 in Rock Harbor will be
restored through the removal of organic material in the form of degraded seaweed that has
accumulated in the back end of the canal, and 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.
The residents are anticipated to install an air curtain to help keep out the seaweed. These
improvements are anticipated to restore the impaired waters of the canal and bring the dissolved
oxygen levels up to meet marine water quality standards.
