Re: Recommendation to Approve Item "RE.6"
Dear Chairman Gort:
This letter serves as the Miami River Commission's (MRC) "official
statement" as requested in City Resolution 00-320, regarding the July
10, 2014, City of Miami Commission Agenda Item RE.6, which
impacts the Miami River.
The Wagner Creek / Seybold Canal is considered the most
contaminated waterway in the State of Florida and requires immediate
remediation before the contamination migrates to other areas in the
Miami River, Thus, the MRC vigorously recommends approval of
RE. 6, "to commence with Phase II" of the City's Wagner Creek and
Seybold Canal Maintenance Dredging and Environmental Cleanup
Project, which will improve the environment and the local business
economy.
Your time and continued support of the city and the Miami River
Corridor is very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
~04,
Horacio Stuart Aguirre
Chairman,
Miami River Commission
