Gentlemen:
File No. 44-37-4152, Monroe County
Florida Department of Transportation
Harris Gap (SJN: 90020-3525)
The Department of Environmental Regulation staff has performed a biological
survey for the above project and offers the following comments to be con-
sidered by the Board of Commissioners as required by Section 253.124(3),
Florida Statutes.
The applicant proposes to construct a 110 foot long by 46 feet 9 inch
wide fixed span concrete bridge parallel and 23 feet north of the existing
bridge centerline at Harris Gap Channel. Pile caps will be extended
5 feet on the north side of the bridge to support the Keys Aqueduct
24-inch water main. The existing bridge will be completely removed,
hauled from the project and disposed of by the applicant's contractor.
Bridge construction will require the placement of 6,899 cubic yards
of material on the Miami end and 13,023 cubic yards of material on the
Key West end, both landward and waterward of the mean high water line,
to create the appropriate road slopes. Approximately 149 cubic yards of
material will be dredged from .04 acres of submerged land for piling
installation and work barge access. All recoverable dredge material
will be deposited on the bridge approach embankments or disposed of
in suitable upland areas provided by the contractor.
The project site is characterized by wetlands with red mangrove as the
predominant vegetation. The Miami end of the project is a continuation
of the Key West end of the North Harris Channel Bridge project. The
bridge approaches are on causeways and are bordered on the Gulf and
Atlantic sides by submerged shallow lands. The area supports typical
Keys vegetation. Plant species observed on and adjacent to the project
site included red and black mangroves, buttonwood, Brazilian pepper,
turtle grass and various species of algae. The amount of dredging
required for work barge access and piling installation is minimal and
therefore, should not represent a significant impact on the areas
environmental resources.

preceding comments should be duly considered and read into the minutes of the
meeting at which time a determination of local approval is made. To assist in
