18605 N.W. 27th Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Staff Summary:
Background
The City of Miami Gardens has been awarded funding from the State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection. The purpose of this grant is to support design and construction of an
exfiltration system on N.W. 195/204 Street Drainage intended to eliminate the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) repetitive losses and to install a french drain system to Vista Verde Storm
Water to include sediment traps and re‐shape swales to the Neighborhoods (N.W. 172 Terrace between
N.W. 22nd Avenue, N.W. 28th Avenue between N.W. 205th street and N.W. 207th Street and N.W. 28th
Court between N.W. 205 street and N.W. 206th street) in order to remove storm water from the street
which will minimize flooding and hydro‐planning of vehicles. Funds were provided in the 2014‐2015
General Appropriations Act under Line Item 1668A.
Current Situation
April 2014 The City of Miami Gardens submitted grant proposals to the State of Florida House
Agriculture & Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee. Grant funds were provided to the
Cityfor N.W. 195/204 Street Drainage Project in the 2014‐2015 General Appropriations Act under Line
Item 1668A for several projects in our community.
The local drainage improvements will reduce flood damage and improve water quality of stormwater
runoff in several areas within the City. These projects will consist of the construction of on‐site french
drain systems and re‐grading of swales that will capture polluted stormwater runoff, retain this runoff
within the project area, and filter the captured water before it enters the aquifer system. The projects
will also reduce flooding, thereby reducing flood damages and potential repetitive loss of properties as
defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which two repetitive properties are
part of one of these projects. The results and benefits of this project include:
Filtering stormwater runoff before it enters the aquifer, thereby protecting our sole source of
drinking water;
Preventing pollutants from entering surface waters of the City, thereby preserving the aesthetic,
recreational and biological quality and value of those surface waters;
Reducing potential flood damage loss claims under the National Flood Insurance Program; and
Increasing the capacity in the primary canals in the City that will reduce flooding when major rain
events occur.
Fiscal Impact
The execution of the agreement will provide a funding of $75,000 from the State of Florida for the
following project allocation which is included in the FY 2015 budget:
N.W. 195/204 Street Drainage Project: DEP Grant $75,000 (and CMG Stormwater $125,000)
Proposed Action:
18605 N.W. 27th Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Council allow the City Manager to accept award and submit required resolution; authorizing the City
Manager to execute any and all agreements that are awarded to the City as a result of this grant
process.

GRANT WORK PLAN
Project Summary: This project will implement best management practices to provide stormwater retention and treatment in the
watershed that will result in reduced volumes and enhanced quality of discharges to surface waters (C-8 to Biscayne Bay). The
project falls under the Coastal Watersheds Program of coastal water body improvements, meets the goals of Surface Water
Improvement Management (SWIM) plan for Biscayne Bay, and improves water quality in the C-8 and C-9 canal and its
receiving water body, Biscayne Bay, which is an outstanding Florida water area.
Biscayne Bay overall remains highly productive. It supports extensive seagrass beds and diverse fisheries resources, and
provides habitat for a variety of endangered or threatened species. Nearly 90 percent of all municipal water supply withdrawals
in the basins are from the Biscayne aquifer, which also supplies 200 million gallons per day for agriculture, irrigation, industry,
mining, and recreational purposes.
This project will re-grade swales to parabolic shape in order to promote the conveyance of storm water at a slower, controlled
rate and acts as a filter medium removing sediments, nutrients, and pollutants which allow stormwater infiltration back to our
aquifers. The result will significantly improve the filtration and cleaning of stormwater. In addition, the project may consist of
road and sidewalk restoration impacted during the project construction.
This project is also included in the Local Mitigation Strategy.

standards in the Miami-Dade County Public Works Manual.
A quarterly progress report will be required for submittal to the Department Grant Manager to update them on status of each task
and the overall project, as a way to describe any issues or delays encountered or if everything is on target. The report is due with

reporting).
Deliverables due: 7 months after execution.
Budget Narrative (complete as needed):
It is anticipated that the Grantee will expend approximately $20,000 in materials (sod only) to complete the swale re-shaping
construction with in-house staff. It is anticipated that the City will expend approximately the shared amount of $10,000 plus the
other $10,000 from this grant in materials (sod, soil to replace any compacted materials, any road materials to repair any
sidewalks/road if damaged during the swale re-shaping operations).

Relffibursement wtll be made upon submtttal of a detiverable and the Department's acceptance or approval of the
detiverable.
Project location and watershed characteristics: Grassed swales are shallow, charmeled grassed depressions
through which runoff is conveyed. The grass in swales slows the flow of runoff water, which allows sediment to settle
out and water to infiltrate into the soil. Grassed swales can remove small amounts of pollutants such as nutrients and
heavy metals.
The C-8 (Biscayne) Canal (WBID 3285) is located in northeastern Miami-Dade County. The canal was designed for
two purposes: providing flood protection and drainage for the C-8 watershed, and maintairting an adequate ground
water table elevation to prevent saltwater intrusion into local ground water (Cooper and Lane 1987). The C-8
originates in the east borrow of the Palmetto Expressway at the northwest comer of the Miami Lakes subdivision.
Flow in the canal is to the east with discharge via the S-28 water control structure to Biscayne Bay.
