Subject: Resolution accepting grant funding for the Wagner Creek/Seybold Canal Dredging Restoration
Project.
Purpose of Item:
A Resolution of the Miami City Commission, with attachment(s), establishing a New Special
Revenue Project Entitled: Wagner Creek/Seybold Canal Dredging Restoration Project, accepting a
grant award and appropriating funds in the amount of $200,000.00 ("Grant"), from the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection, which will be used for the Wagner Creek/Seybold Canal
Dredging Restoration Project; authorizing the City Manager to execute the award agreement, in
substantially the attached form, and any amendments, modifications, extensions, or renewals thereof,
in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, in order to accept the grant and to implement the project.
This grant was made possible by the Florida Legislature.
Background Information:
The Wagner Creek and Seybold Canal Dredging Project ("Project") involves the removal of
contaminated sediments and improve drainage and navigation, ultimately benefiting Miami's local
communities and south Florida's natural aquatic resources. Wagner Creek, which merges into
Seybold Canal, receives stormwater runoff from the surrounding C-6 Basin. Historical stoiiiiwater
discharge into Wagner Creek and Seybold Canal has resulted in elevated sediment concentrations of
dioxins, total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. (PAHs), and metals. Dredging activities will begin
where Wagner Creek exits a culvert system at NW 20th Street and will continue to the point where
Seybold Canal discharges into the Miami River. (See Attached Page 2).

Consistent with the approved Corrective Action Plan ("CAP"), the Project will provide for the
efficient and safe excavation of contaminated, accumulated sediment in six Operational Sections
(OS's) (five in Wagner Creek and one in Seybold Canal), as well as transport of that sediment to an
appropriate landfill(s), Wagner Creek is an important part of the Miami River water system; however,
it has been identified as a water body that has a high concentration of pollutants.
The total estimated project cost for the design, permitting and construction of the dredging project is
$23,000,000. The City has received Florida Inland Navigation District ("FIND") grants, allocated
Stormwater Utility Funds and is expected to obtain approval from the State Revolving Fund to cover
the shortfall of approximately $18,000,000. This grant for $200,000.00 will help subsidize the project
funding.
