Graham & Sen. Nelson State Senate: 35 State House: 113 III PROJECT SUMMARY Type of Application: New Reconsideration Phased Continuation Phase No.: Grant Amount Requested: $ 20,241 Total Project Cost: $ 27,588 Project Description: To replace three severely deteriorated channel platforms and install new markers for Brennan's Channel at Dinner Key. These platforms have pilings worn beyond repair from the long-term corrosive effects of saltwater and from structural damage caused by boats straying from the channel and colliding with the pilings. Unless these pilings are replaced, these platforms are subject to collapse and pose dangers to navigation. This channel to open water leads to safe dockage for vessels 26' and greater at the Dinner Key Marina in Miami's Coconut Grove waterfront, a location with considerable tourist, commercial, and cultural/historical value. Without these improvements this busy channel would not safely accommodate the need for transient boaters seeking shelter in the marina, Given the number and severity of tropical hurricanes and storms that strike Florida, such transient dock space near a major city Iike Miami is vital. The City of Miami maintains these navigational aids for two channels that connect the Intracoastal Waterway with Dinner Key. These channels service thousands of transient and local vessels annually from the area's several wet slip and dry storage marinas, with Brennan's Channel being the main conduit to the ICW for vessels docking at the marina. The project, then, replaces three existing structures in an advanced state of deterioration and subject to collapse with new platforms and pilings. Each lighted channel marker platform consists of a cluster of four pilings braced together, an aluminum access ladder, wooden platform, beacon light, batteries, solar charging panel, and day marker signs from the corrosive effects of saltwater and other damage caused by boats straying from the channel. Each time a boat leaves the navigable course, there are risks of collision with other vessels, groundings with damage to seagrass beds as well as damage to the platforms. Through this project, the City seeks to partner with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to improve boater safety at an important Florida marina, Dinner Key. 1 IV' GENERAL FACILITY INFORMATION Upland Ownership: X Public Fee Simple Public Lease Years Remaining on Lease Name of Owner: City of Miami, FL Open to General Public?

Applicant is in consultation with DERM. Has an application been submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection? Yes (submit copy) No Approved (submit proof) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers? Yes (submit copy) No Approved (submit proof) Local and Others (If needed): No B XII ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Will the project significantly or adversely affect the environment? No, the project's impact is significantly positive as a mitigation action against uprooting of seagrass due to groundings. If Yes, please explain key issues and describe any mitigation actions proposed: The project's construction will take place off barges in the navigable course of the channel. This will ensure that there is minimal disruption occasion by the removal and replacement of pilings for the three channel platforms. Once installed, the channel platforms and markers will reduce the number of collisions that have led to numerous groundings in this busy waterway to and from open water. Additionally, old and decaying pilings will be removed from the environment and would therefore reduce the direct impact to the marine surroundings. / 7 XIII REQUIRED APPLICATION ATTACHMENTS AND DOCUMENTATION Please check all boxes that are analicable. 1.
