ATTACHMENT 3-2
REVISED GRANT WORK PLAN
PROJECT TITLE: Monroe County Canals 925, 9259, 9291, and 9475 Restoration Projects
PROJECT LOCATION: The Project will be located within various canals in unincorporated Monroe
County; see table below for locations:
Canal# Area Latitude Longitude
25 Key Largo 25.1670 -80.3831
259 Big Pine Key 24.7031 -81.3499
291 Big Pine Key 24.6754 -81.3716
475 Geiger Key 24.5791 -81.6557
PROJECT BACKGROUND: In 2013, Phase II of the Monroe County Canal Management Master Plan
(CMMP) was completed that 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/Weedgate
• 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 a period of three years.
Based on data collected during the limited monitoring period, F1U made the following conclusions about
the culvert, air curtain, and Backfill technology(s):
• This technology effectively increased oxygenation by improving circulation and exchange. This is
in alignment with the purpose of culverts which are to stimulate the exchange with cleaner near
shore waters;
Since the demonstration canal restorations were proposed by Monroe County,the canal restoration program
has grown to include over 17 residential canal restoration projects throughout Monroe County.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The canals (925 Key Largo, 9259 Big Pine Key, 9291 Big Pine Key, and
9475 Geiger Key) are a continuation of the canal restoration program in accordance with the Department
of Economic Opportunity (DEO) canal restoration work 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 Florida Department of Environmental Protection(FDEP) Dissolved Oxygen standards.
