REVISED GRANT WORK PLAN
PROJECT TITLE: Monroe County Canals 928 and 990 Backfill Restoration Projects
PROJECT LOCATION: The Project will have 2 locations: Canal 928 and Canal 990. Canal 928 (Figure
1)is located within the unincorporated area of Key Largo, Monroe County; Lat/Long (25.1647, -80.3838).
Canal 990 (Figure 2) is located within the unincorporated area of Tavernier, Monroe County, Lat/Long
(25.0289, -80.5076).
PROJECT BACKGROUND: In 2013, Phase II of the Monroe County Canal Management Master Plan
(CMMP) evaluated the conditions of the Keys canals,prioritized the need for water quality improvement,
and identified appropriate restoration options for each canal:
• Culvert
• Air Curtain
• Organic Removal
• Backfill
As part of the Canal Restoration Demonstration Program, Florida International University (FIU) assessed
the effectiveness of the various technologies implemented by Monroe County and its partners by comparing
treated canals against nearby,unaltered controls over aperiod of three years. Based on data collected during
the limited monitoring period, F1U made the following conclusions about the backfill technology:
• This technique resulted in an immediate change in the canal's water quality by significantly
improving the water column's DO content. The decreased water depth allowed light to penetrate
to the sediment. As a result, there were measurable increases in benthic vegetation,fish diversity
and abundance and inhabitants of the sea walls.
Since the demonstration canal restorations were proposed by Monroe County,the canal restoration program
has grown to include 17 residential canal restoration projects throughout Monroe County.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Canals 928 and 990 are a continuation of the canal restoration program
in accordance with the Department of Economic Opportunity(DEO)canal restoration workplan as detailed
in the Monroe County 28.20.140 Comprehensive Plan. The projects will be designed to promote flushing
in the canal by removing the deep stagnant zones within the canals and promote a viable benthic community
which will help to restore the canal waters to State Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)
Dissolved Oxygen standards.
TASKS: All documentation should be submitted electronically unless otherwise indicated.
