Project Description:
A stormwater management plan will be developed for the unincorporated portions of the C-2 and C-100 surface water drainage basins. The sotrmwater management plan will identify stormwater projects which will improve the quality, timing, and distribution of stormwater discharged to the basin Canals and to Biscayne Bay. Stormwater infrastructure improvements will be indentified for both existing land use conditions and year 2015 land us condiditions as identified in teh County's comprehensive Development Master Plan.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
Technical data for the basins will be collected in Phase 1 including ground surface and ground water elevations, existing stormwater management infrastructure, soil characteristics, water quality data, the ability of canals to convey stormwater and ground water table elevations. This data will be used to develop computer models , in phase II, which will calculate flows and pollutant loads to the Snapper Cree (C-2) and Cutler Drain(C-100) Canals and to Biscayne Bay. The modles will also be used to analyze the timing and distribution of stormwater discharged through the watersheds and to Biscayne Bay. The model will be used to rank stormwater quality and flooding problem areas in the basins. A stormwater management plan will then be developed whic identifies stormwater improvement projects which will reduce flooding or pollutant loading to downstream water bodies for critical sub-basins within the C-2 and C-100 surface water drainage.
