Determine locations of significant lobster trap debris in an area from Key West to
Key Largo and the Monroe County portion of the "Eighteen Mile Stretch," to
include municipalities. No effort should be made to assess the area within the
bounds of Everglades National Park. Assessment of debris locations should not
extend beyond %Z mile further toward the ocean or gulf from the islands connected
by U.S. highway 1, unless there are known shallow water flat areas which may
harbor trap debris. In addition, a less detailed assessment of the existence of
lobster trap debris should be completed for the area ten miles (plus or minus) west
of Key West.
• Traps to be removed will include only those that have washed up on shallow
water "flats" in the Keys or which otherwise exist in the near shore environment
of the Keys and are tangled with other trap material (trap lines particularly); such
that these traps cannot be construed as being active or functional for "fishing."
• DRC will provide supervision and project oversight as required by FEMA, the
State of Florida, and the County in conjunction with County staff and/or a
monitoring firm employed by the County. Monitoring will include determination
of actual trap removal counts of complete or partial traps and coordination with
FEMA, the State of Florida, or Monroe County for verification of such counts.

Monroe County will maintain an independent monitoring team representing the
County as the project applicant.
• DRC will be responsible for the management of all project expenses and billing
documentation as will be required by FEMA, the State of Florida, and the County
• DRC through separate sub-contract(s) will accept the assistance of any other
valid, qualified contractor as needed to assist in this project. DRC reserves the
right to solely determine if the sub -contractor in question is qualified to
participate in this project.
Canal and Near Shore Debris Clean-up
DRC will be responsible for managing the removal and disposal of marine debris in
manmade canals which has resulted from the impacts of the 2005 and subsequent
hurricane seasons within the life of the Agreement. Efforts are to include the
identification of locations in the water of where significant marine debris exists,
contracting with local marine contractors to, locate, remove, and dispose or marine
debris, and oversight of field operations for the project.
Detailed Responsibilities:
• DRC will be responsible for locating appropriate Temporary Debris Sites and
Reduction Sites
• Management and oversight of County designated temporary debris sites for
storage of marine debris prior to appropriate final disposal.
• Determine locations of marine debris in manmade canals within an area to include
Key West to Key Largo and the Monroe County portion of the "Eighteen Mile
Stretch," to include the municipalities. The definition of manmade canal shall be
that found in the Monroe County Code of Ordinances as follows:
Man-made water body means a water body that was created by excavation by mechanical
means under human control and shall include a canal, cut basin, or channel where its
edges or margins have subsequently been modified by natural forces (See Definitions,
Chapter 9.5-4 (M-4).
(1) For the purposes of this chapter, such water bodies may have natural components, for
instance a channel or canal may have been dredged such that the dredge material was
used to create land on one side, but not the other, thus leaving a relatively natural
shoreline on the opposite side.
(2) Also for the purposes of this chapter, the man-made water body must have
"Buildings, " as defined in Chapter 9.5-4 (13-9), along its shoreline to be applicable. If
buildings are not present on a given shoreline on the date of adoption of this ordinance,
but such buildings are constructed at a later date, then this ordinance becomes effective at
that time.
F-Aibit A
Assess total potential volume or appropriate metric (linear feet of canal, tons, etc.)
for the amount of marine debris likely to be removed and disposed of. Marine
debris should include such material that is visible on or just under the waters
surface and that would cause a hazard to safe navigation or be a potential risk to
human health if not removed. Such marine debris should not be debris attached to
personal property unless permission is provided to remove such debris. An effort
should be made to contact a property owner to obtain permission to remove
material that is obviously debris, but which may be tied or otherwise affixed to
land for reasons of maintaining clear navigation.
• Complete Contracts for Service with local marine contractors to remove debris
from manmade canals located in the project work area.
• DRC will provide supervision for project oversight efforts as required by FEMA
or the Natural kesources Conservation Service (MRCS) (U.S. Department of
Agriculture), the State of Florida, and the County in coordination with County
staff and/or a monitoring firm employed by the County.
• Monroe County will maintain an independent monitoring team representing the
County as the project applicant.
• DRC will be responsible for the management of all project expenses and billing
documentation as will be required by FEMA or NRCS, the State of Florida, and
the County
Abandoned Vessel Recovery and Disposal
DRC will be responsible for managing the removal from the water, impound and auction
or disposal, of abandoned vessels surrounding the Florida Keys which are largely, but not
exclusively, the result of impacts of the 2005 and subsequent hurricane seasons within the
life of the Agreement. Efforts are to include the detailed cost assessment for the removal
of larger vessels which are located in shallow waters and are hard aground. Work will
also include obtaining necessary salvage approvals through applicable state and federal
agencies, including the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, the United States Coast
Guard, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission.
Detailed Responsibilities:
• DRC will be responsible for locating appropriate Temporary Debris Sites and
Reduction Sites
Determine current locations of remaining abandoned vessels and determine the
least costly approach for salvage or disposal as appropriate. Maps provided show
approximate location of vessels after Hurricane Wilma. Additional information
may be available concerning their current disposition.

• In the event of future storms and similar impacts, staff will work with DRC to
locate and map vessels and other marine debris post each event. Such products
will supplant the maps provided herein.

• Management and oversight of County designated temporary debris sites for
storage of marine debris prior to appropriate final disposal.
• Assess total potential value of the removal operation whether by means leading to
disposal or by means appropriate for salvage and sale for cost.
• Work with local, state, and federal agencies to approve salvage plans for vessels
that are located on sensitive marine or wetland resources, including shallow water
seagrass areas and mangrove communities.
• Prior to ultimate removal from the marine environment, reach agreement with
local, state, and federal agencies on which abandoned vessels will be "eligible"
under FEMA's eligibility guidelines.
• Prior to ultimate removal from the marine environment, reach agreement on
which vessels will be removed for disposal and which will be removed to a
holding site for cost recovery through sale to an original owner or auction.
• DRC will provide supervision for project oversight efforts as required by FEMA
and the County in conjunction with County staff and/or a monitoring firm
employed by the County.
• Monroe County will maintain an independent monitoring team representing the

by approving agencies.
