ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE PERMIT
Issued Date: June 25, 2020
Expiration Date: June 25, 2030
Project: PortMiami Cruise Berth
Permittee: Port of Miami
Permit No: 0181285-014
PROJECT LOCATION:
The project site is located in Miami -Dade County, along the northwestern edge of
PortMiami, adjacent to the City of Miami, on Dodge/Lummus Island, Section 37, Township 54
South, Range 42 East, within Biscayne Bay aiic Preserve, Class III Waters, Outstanding
Florida Waters (OFW). The mitigation site for offsetting unavoidable impacts to submerged
aquatic vegetation is in Watson Islan• ' - k on Watson Island, just north of the PortMiami
facility.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project is to redevelop `< 'se Berth H, which includes the construction of
approximately 740 feet of interlockin: • el sheet pile (SSP) bulkhead (waterward of the existing
north bulkhead) with a 200-foot moving extension and a 64-foot return wall to the existing north
bulkhead. The project also includes lie filling of approximately 0.49 acres between the new
bulkhead and the old bulkhead, and the dredging of approximately 6.49 acres of the basin west of
the new bulkhead to -34.5 feet NAVD plus 2 feet overdredge.
The project will result in adverse impacts to 0.45 acres of previously undisturbed surface
waters, which currently support sparse patches of submerged aquatic vegetation. These impacts
will be offset by the creation and enhancement of 0.23 acres of mangrove habitat at Watson
Island Park. As compensation for the 0.49 acres of filling between the new and old bulkheads,
Miami -Dade County Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) requires 804 cubic yards of
riprap to be placed at the offshore artificial reef site POM A. An equivalent quantity of new reef
modules will be installed at POM A in place of the required volume of riprap.

below:
Frequency: Du ng ligh urs, sampling shall be conducted three times daily,
approximately fo (4) hours apart during dredging or construction
activities thatbare within the open waters of the state, starting
approximately 30 minutes following commencement of work, while the
highest project -related turbidity levels are crossing the edge of the
mixing zone. Since turbidity levels can be related to pumping rates, the
dredge pumping rates shall be recorded, and provided to the Department
upon request. The compliance samples and the corresponding background
samples shall be collected at approximately the same time, i.e.,
background sample shall immediately follow the compliance sample.
Location: Sampling shall occur at surface (approximately one foot below the
surface), mid -depth (for sites with depths greater than 6 feet), and bottom
(approximately 6 feet above the bottom for sites with depths greater than
25 feet).
Background: Sampling shall occur at least 300m upcurrent from the
project -generated turbidity source, and clearly outside the influence of any
project -related turbidity plume or other turbidity plume.

Compliance: Dredging: Sampling shall occur at the edge of the 150-meter
mixing zone, down current from the source of turbidity, within the densest
portion of any visible turbidity plume.
Construction/Demolition: For activities encompassed by sheet piling
or contained within a floating turbidity barrier, sampling shall occur at
mid -depth, downcurrent from the project -related turbidity source, within
the densest portion of any visible turbidity plume, immediately outside of
the turbidity control device. Samples shall only be required if a turbidity
plume is observed outside the limits of the turbidity control device.

Honorable Chairman Jose "Pepe" Diaz
and Members, Board of County Commissioners
Daniella Levine Cava
Mayor ijAJi,,//, Lays -
Resolution Approving and Authorizing the Execution of a License, Access and
Indemnification Agreement between the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County
to Construct and Monitor a Mangrove Mitigation Project at the Watson Island
Boat Ramp Area and Authorizing the County Mayor or County Mayor' s
Designee to Waive up to 12 Months' Rent under a Ground Lease between Miami -
Dade County and Kearns Construction Company
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners ("Board") adopt the
accompanying Resolution approving and authorizing (1) the execution of a no -fee License,
Access and Indemnification Agreement between the City of Miami ("City") and Miami -Dade
County ("County") to construct, access, and monitor a mangrove mitigation project on certain
City property located on or adjacent to Watson Island ("License Agreement") and (2) the
waiver of rent due under a Port Lease Agreement ("Lease"), for a period not to exceed one
year, between Kearns Construction Company ("Kearns") and the County for approximately
4,650 square feet of laydown area needed in connection with a City improvement project at
Bayside Market Place ("Bayside").
Scope
PortMiami is located within District 5, which is represented by Commissioner Eileen Higgins.
The impact of the agenda item is countywide as PortMiami is a regional asset and generates
employment for residents throughout Miami -Dade County.
Background
On September 19, 2019, via Resolution R-992-19, the Board approved a Preferential Berthing
Rights Agreement between the County and Virgin Cruises Intermediate Limited which, among
other things, authorized the development of new Cruise Terminal V. This development
program included a new bulkhead and associated dredging needed for an expanded Berth H
behind new Cruise Terminal V.
On September 29, 2020, the County' s Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources
("RER") issued a Class 1 construction permit to the Seaport Department authorizing
redevelopment of Berth H and requiring certain mitigation requirements in connection with
the project. RER issued the subject Class 1 permit following and pursuant to authority granted
by the Board on June 2, 2020. Among other mitigation requirements, the Class 1 construction
permit requires offsite mitigation for unavoidable impacts to water quality. In partial
fulfillment of such mitigation requirement, PortMiami is partnering with the City on a
mangrove restoration mitigation project, estimated at a County cost of $250,000, at the Watson
Island Boat Ramp Area.
2
Honorable Chairman Jose "Pepe" Diaz
and Members, Board of County Commissioners
Page No. 2
The License Agreement grants access and use rights to the County, its representatives,
employees, consultants, and contractors to build the mangrove restoration project and to
monitor and maintain the project for 5 years. After the initial 5-year monitoring period, the
City will assume maintenance activities for the mangroves. Although the License Agreement
imposes certain maintenance and indemnity requirements on the County, the City is not
charging the County any rent or license fees for the County's access to and use of the subject
City property.
The City is also constructing bulkhead redevelopment projects of its own. The City has hired
Kearns to redevelop a bulkhead at Bayside. Utilizing the authority granted to the County
Mayor under Resolution No. R-777-03, the County entered into the Lease with Kearns for
4,650 square feet of lay down area at the Port, which Lease requires Kearns to pay rent in the
amount of $2,809.38 per month. Since the City is not charging the County rent or a license fee
in connection with the License Agreement, the City has requested that the Port waive rent
under the Lease (which would otherwise be passed onto the City by Kearns as a project cost
for the Bayside project) for the approximate 8-month duration of the project. In satisfaction of
one of the requirements of the proposed License Agreement with the City, it is recommended
that the Board authorize the waiver of Kearns' rent for the earlier of (1) 12 months from
November 1, 2020 and (2) the duration of the construction on the City -project at Bayside
through substantial completion, which is anticipated to last 8 months from November 1, 2020.
In accordance with Resolution No. 333-15, the Seaport Department has conducted a market
study of rents at PortMiami was conducted by Waronker & Rosen, Inc. in Fiscal Year 2017 to
determine the market rental value of land at PortMiami. This study included the land lease
rates for open cargo container storage areas. Tariff square footage rates are then established
based on this market analysis, subject to annual approval by this Board. For the fiscal year
beginning October 1, 2020, the applicable Port Tariff open ground (water side) is $7.25 per
square foot.
Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The requested no -fee License Agreement between City and Miami -Dade County has no direct
fiscal impact costs beyond the funded mitigation project included as part of the Cruise
Terminal V program in the FY 2020-21 Adopted Budged and Multi -Year Capital Plan
approved by the Board on September 17, 2020. Under the authority delegated for the waiver
of rent due under the Lease, the County is waiving up to $33,712.50 in rental payments.
Track Record/Monitor
The Seaport Department staff members responsible for monitoring this Agreement are Hydi
Webb, Deputy Director and Becky Hope, Chief, Planning and Property Development.
Delegated Authority
In accordance with Section 2-8.3 of the Miami -Dade County Code relating to delegation of
Board authority, there are no authorities beyond those specified in the resolution, which
includes the authority for the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee to execute the
aforementioned License Agreement and waive rent due under the Lease for a period not to

exceed the sooner of (1) 12 months from November 1,2020 and (2) the duration of the
construction of the City's project at Bay side, through its substantial completion and to exercise
all renewal, extension, termination, and other rights contained in either agreement.

PROJECT LOCATION:
The project site is located in Miami -Dade County, along the northwestern edge of
PortMiami, adjacent to the City of Miami, on Dodge/Lummus Island, Section 37, Township 54
South, Range 42 East, within Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, Class III Waters, Outstanding
Florida Waters (OFW). The mitigation site for offsetting unavoidable impacts to submerged
aquatic vegetation is in Watson Island Park on Watson Island, just north of the PortMiami
facility.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project is to redevelop Cruise Berth H, which includes the construction of
approximately 740 feet of interlocking steel sheet pile (SSP) bulkhead (waterward of the existing
north bulkhead) with a 200-foot mooring extension and a 64-foot return wall to the existing north
bulkhead. The project also includes the filling of approximately 0.49 acres between the new
bulkhead and the old bulkhead, and the dredging of approximately 6.49 acres of the basin west of
the new bulkhead to -34.5 feet NAVD plus 2 feet overdredge.
The project will result in adverse impacts to 0.45 acres of previously undisturbed surface
waters, which currently support sparse patches of submerged aquatic vegetation. These impacts
will be offset by the creation and enhancement of 0.23 acres of mangrove habitat at Watson
Island Park. As compensation for the 0.49 acres of filling between the new and old bulkheads,
Miami -Dade County Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) requires 804 cubic yards of
riprap to be placed at the offshore artificial reef site POM A. An equivalent quantity of new reef
modules will be installed at POM A in place of the required volume of riprap.

resources (including beds of submerged aquatic vegetation [SAV] or hardbottom) is
prohibited unless it occurs within a work area or ingress / egress corridor that is
specifically approved by this permit and is shown on the approved permit drawings.
Anchoring or spudding of vessels and barges within areas with benthic resources,
including submerged aquatic vegetation or hardbottom, is also prohibited.
7 The Permittee shall immediately report any incident of unauthorized impact to wetlands,
submerged aquatic vegetation or hardbottom communities to the Department and take
immediate corrective action to avoid any further impacts. Within 30 days of any such
event, the Permittee shall propose a remediation/mitigation plan, which shall be
implemented immediately upon approval by the Department.
Water Quality
8. In association with General Condition No. 3 below, BMPs for controlling turbidity shall
be utilized where appropriate and maintained at all times during project construction to
minimize turbidity. At the dredge, BMPs may include, but not be limited to, turbidity
curtains and an "environmental" (i.e., sealed) clamshell bucket. For in -water work, BMPs
may include, but not be limited to, permanent bulkheads and additional turbidity barriers
33
PortMiami Cruise Berth H
Permittee: Port of Miami
Permit No. 0181285-014-BI
Page 8 of 27
as required. Turbidity control devices shall be installed prior to the commencement of
construction in any given area, or prior to commencement of the particular activity, and
maintained daily to ensure integrity and functionality until post -construction clean-up of
each work area has been completed, or until removal upon completion of the particular
activity. Temporary turbidity barriers shall be made of material in which manatees or
marine turtles cannot become entangled, shall be properly secured, and shall be regularly
monitored to avoid manatee or marine turtle entanglement or entrapment. Turbidity
control devices must not impede manatee or marine turtle movement.
9. Discharge such as dewatering or stormwater runoff into open surface waters of the state
from any temporary dredged material containment area, is prohibited.
10. The maximum mixing zone for turbidity shall be a circle with a radius of 150 meters,
originating from the source of the turbidity. In areas where permanent (e.g., bulkheads) or
floating turbidity barriers are used to restrict turbidity plumes, the mixing zone shall end
immediately outside of the barrier. Beyond the mixing zone, the turbidity standard shall
be met during dredging, filling, installation of scour protection mats, transport, and the
installation of sheetpiles or other pilings.
MONITORING REQUIRED:
11. Turbidity monitoring shall be conducted as described below:
Units: Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs).
Frequency: During daylight hours, sampling shall be conducted three times daily,
approximately four (4) hours apart during dredging or construction
activities that are within the open waters of the state, starting
approximately 30 minutes following commencement of work, while the
highest project -related turbidity levels are crossing the edge of the
mixing zone. Since turbidity levels can be related to pumping rates, the
dredge pumping rates shall be recorded, and provided to the Department
upon request. The compliance samples and the corresponding background
samples shall be collected at approximately the same time, i.e.,
background sample shall immediately follow the compliance sample.
Location: Sampling shall occur at surface (approximately one foot below the
surface), mid -depth (for sites with depths greater than 6 feet), and bottom
(approximately 6 feet above the bottom for sites with depths greater than
25 feet).
Background: Sampling shall occur at least 300m upcurrent from the
project -generated turbidity source, and clearly outside the influence of any
project -related turbidity plume or other turbidity plume.
34
PortMiami Cruise Berth H
Permittee: Port of Miami
Permit No. 0181285-014-BI
Page 9 of 27
Compliance: Dredging: Sampling shall occur at the edge of the 150-meter
mixing zone, down current from the source of turbidity, within the densest
portion of any visible turbidity plume.
Construction/Demolition: For activities encompassed by sheet piling
or contained within a floating turbidity barrier, sampling shall occur at
mid -depth, downcurrent from the project -related turbidity source, within
the densest portion of any visible turbidity plume, immediately outside of
the turbidity control device. Samples shall only be required if a turbidity
plume is observed outside the limits of the turbidity control device.
If turbidity curtains or similar methodologies are used to protect corals in
areas adjacent to the work site, turbidity and water temperature shall be
monitored inside the barrier and outside the barrier twice daily at least 4
hours apart. Sampling shall be adequate to determine if the barriers are
providing protection or are detrimental to protection of the coral colonies.
Calibration: The instruments used to measure turbidity shall be fully calibrated within
one month of the commencement of the project, and at least once a month thereafter
during project construction. Calibration with secondary standards shall be verified each
morning prior to use, after each time the instrument is turned on, and after field sampling
using two secondary turbidity "standards" that bracket the anticipated turbidity samples.
If the post -sampling calibration value deviates more than 8% from the previous
calibration value, results shall be reported as estimated and a description of the problem
shall be included in the field notes.
Analysis of turbidity samples shall be performed in compliance with DEP-SOP-001/01
FT 1600 Field Measurement of Turbidity:
http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/dear/sas/sopdoc/2008sops/ft1600.pdf
If the turbidity monitoring protocol specified above prevents the collection of accurate
data, the person in charge of the turbidity monitoring shall contact the JCP Compliance
Officer to establish a more appropriate protocol. Once approved in writing by the
Department, the new protocol shall be implemented through an administrative permit
modification.
12. The compliance locations given above shall be considered the limits of the temporary
mixing zone for turbidity allowed during construction. If monitoring reveals turbidity
levels at the compliance sites are greater than 0 NTUs above the corresponding
background turbidity levels, construction activities shall cease immediately and shall not
resume until corrective measures have been taken and turbidity has returned to acceptable
levels. Any such occurrence shall be immediately reported to the JCP Compliance
Officer via email and copied to the DEP Southeast District Office. The subject line of the

Any project -associated turbidity source other than dredging or berth construction /
demolition (e.g., scow or pipeline leakage) shall be monitored as close to the source as
possible. If the turbidity level exceeds 0 NTUs above background the construction
activities related to the exceedance shall cease immediately and not resume until
corrective measures have been taken and turbidity has returned to acceptable levels. This
turbidity monitoring shall continue every hour until background turbidity levels are
restored or until otherwise directed by the Department. The Permittee shall notify the
Department, by separate email to the JCP Compliance Officer, of such an event within 24
hours of the time the Permittee first becomes aware of the discharge. The subject line of

Monitoring requirements for the Watson Island Park mitigation site. Following the
completion of earthworks, debris removal, and planting of mangroves at the Watson
Island Park mitigation site, monitoring will be completed in accordance with the
Department -approved mitigation plan. Conditions at the mitigation site will be visually
assessed by qualified biologists, who will also collect quantitative information along a
series of transects and will photograph permanent stations in each of the three planting
areas (N1, N2, and S1) at the mitigation site to document the cover of mangroves and
invasive / exotic plant taxa over time. Monitoring will occur immediately following
planting (0-month, baseline), as well as 1-month, 6-months, 12-months, 18-months, 24-
months, and 36-months (final) after planting. Monitoring -related deliverables will be
submitted in accordance with the mitigation plan. Data deliverables will be provided to
the JCP Compliance Officer no later than 45 days after the completion of each survey.
Within 90 days of completion of each survey, a report describing the status of the

c. Should corals fragment upon removal, all fragments of the same broken coral must be
kept together and reconstructed by reattaching fragments as close together as possible
(like puzzle pieces — reattached within 5 mm apart from one another). The re-
constructed corals should be considered as one single coral for monitoring purposes.
d. All corals and octocorals shall be evaluated on health condition according to FWC
Guidelines and be devoid of any signs of diseases and presence of boring sponges.
e. All transplanted corals and octocorals shall be observed within one week of
transplantation to ensure successful attachment at the POM A reef site. If attachment
of a colony is not successful but the coral/octocoral is still alive, efforts shall be made
to reattach the colony.
f. Corals and octocorals shall be transplanted on the same day that they are detached
from the project site. If weather conditions or other circumstances prohibit
transportation and attachment of corals and octocorals to the recipient site within the
same day, colonies may be cached within a designated safe area and transplanted to
the reef site at the earliest opportunity.
g.
Transplantation results, including post -attachment survival surveys, shall be reported
to the Department (JCP Compliance Officer) within 30 days of completion of
transplantation.
h. Commencement and completion of coral transplantation must be reported to the JCP
Compliance officer within 24 hours prior to and following all transplantation
activities.

bottom. All vessels shall follow routes of deep water whenever possible.
c. Siltation or turbidity barriers shall be made of material in which manatees cannot
become entangled, shall be properly secured, and shall be regularly monitored to
avoid manatee entanglement or entrapment. Barriers shall not impede manatee
movement.
d. All on -site project personnel are responsible for observing water -related activities
for the presence of manatees. All in -water operations, including vessels, shall be
shutdown if a manatee comes within 50 feet of the operation. Activities shall not
resume until every manatee has moved beyond the 50-foot radius of the project
operation, or until 30 minutes has elapsed wherein a manatee has not reappeared
within 50 feet of the operation. Animals shall not be herded away or harassed into
leaving.
e. Any collision with or injury to a manatee shall be reported immediately to the
FWC Hotline at 1-888-404-FWCC. Collision and/or injury should also be
reported to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Jacksonville (1-904-731-3336)

21. The Permittee shall ensure that an observer(s) shall watch for protected marine species
(manatees, marine turtles, dolphins, etc.) during all in -water work associated with
dredging operations to ensure compliance with the stop work zone required in this
authorization. All observers shall have prior on-the-job observation experience (including
previous sightings of manatees) during previous dredging work where the activities were
similar in nature to this project. The Permittee shall ensure that all observers are given a
copy of the permit for the project, including all special conditions, prior to the
commencement of construction. FWC guidelines regarding observers can be found at the
following website: http://www.myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/managed/manatee/watch-
program/.
22. The Permittee/Contractor shall maintain a daily log that details sightings, collisions, or
injuries to protected marine species (manatees and marine turtles). The logs shall also
include the following project specific information: work itinerary; weather; work
shutdown times; observer shift changes. In regard to manatee behavior, the observers
shall also log time of observation; duration of sightings; estimated distance of animal
from the dredge/equipment/vessel; animal behavior during the sighting (such as passing
through, pausing in the vicinity of the project, interacting with the dredge, scows tugs,
etc. attracted to running or dripping water); detection method; whether the dredge was
operating at time of observation; and actions taken as a result of the sighting, collisions or
injuries.
A final report summarizing the logs shall be sent to FWC at
ImperiledSpecies@myfwc.com no later than 30 days after demobilization of final project
completion. The report shall include project name and permit number, names of
observers and contact information.
23. To avoid impacts to protected marine species (manatees, dolphins, marine turtles, etc.)
during clamshell dredging, the following conditions shall be followed:
a. Open water dredging shall be conducted during daylight hours only.
b. During clamshell operations, the dredge operator shall gravity -release the
clamshell bucket only at the water's surface, and only after confirmation that
there are no protected species within the 50-foot designated safety distance. The
protected marine species observer shall notify the Contractor if protected marine
species enter within the designated safety distance. Prior to lowering the dredge
bucket to the water's surface, the water immediately below and adjacent to the
bucket shall be scanned for the presence of protected marine species, and all
dredging operations shall cease if a protected marine species is observed.
Activities shall not resume until the protected marine species has moved beyond
43
PortMiami Cruise Berth H
Permittee: Port of Miami
Permit No. 0181285-014-BI
Page 18 of 27
the immediate area of the project operation, or, if the protected marine species
submerges, until 30 minutes elapses and the protected marine species has not
reappeared within the immediate area of the operation;
24. If pile -driving activities occur, the following measures shall be followed:
a. At least one observer shall be onsite at all times and dedicated to the task of
watching for manatees during the in -water pile driving construction work.
Observers must have prior on-the-job experience as a dedicated manatee observer,
observing for manatees during similar in -water work and shall perform no other
duties that may interfere with their ability to observe for protected marine species.
All pile -driving activity shall be confined to daylight hours.
b. The pile driving activities will use a ramp -up measure. At the start of pile driving,
hammers would initially be operated at low levels, then gradually increase to
minimum necessary power required for pile installation. Monitoring for protected
marine species will occur for 30 minutes prior to pile driving, during pile driving,
and for 30 minutes after pile driving ends.
c. If the activities appear to harass or injure a protected marine species, then work
shall cease immediately and not resume until after consultation with the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) at
ImperiledSpecies@myfwc.com or 850-922-4330. Any additional conservation
measures deemed necessary by FWC must be implemented to minimize the risks
to protected species.
d. If there is any unusual manatee behavior in the vicinity of the pile driving, but the
behavior does not appear to be a result of injury or harassment (such as if
manatees are attracted to the activity, or if they appear spooked or otherwise
appear unnatural), a final report shall be sent to the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission at ImperiledSpecies@myfwc.com, no later than 30
days after final project completion. The report shall describe the animal's
behavior, distance from activity, and any measures taken if needed. Please
include the project name and permit number, names of observers and contact
information, and summaries of all protected marine species sightings.
25. To reduce the risk of a vessel crushing a manatee, the permittee shall install wharf
fenders with appropriate materials to provide sufficient standoff space of at least four feet
under maximum designed compression. Fenders or buoys providing a minimum standoff
space of at least four feet under maximum designed compression shall also be utilized
between two vessels that are moored together.
26. To reduce the risk of entrapment and drowning of manatees, manatee exclusion devices
(such as grating) shall be installed and maintained over any existing or proposed pipes or
44

Permittee: Port of Miami
Permit No. 0181285-014-BI
Page 19 of 27
culverts greater than 8 inches, but smaller than 8 feet in diameter that are submerged or
partially submerged and reasonably accessible to manatees. If horizontal or vertical bars
are used, no more than 8-inch gaps on center shall be allowed. Grates shall be in place at
the accessible end(s) during all phases of the construction process and as a final design
element to restrict manatee access.
27. While performing backfilling between the bulkheads, it is important to ensure that
manatees or sea turtles do not become entrapped during sheet pile installation or gain
access after the sheet pile has been installed and before filling work has been completed.
The new bulkhead installation shall be completed only after a dedicated observer
confirms that no manatees will be trapped in the area to be filled landward of the new
bulkhead. If a manatee or sea turtle becomes entrapped, the area shall be opened up to
allow the manatee or turtle to leave of its own volition. It shall not be herded or harassed
into leaving the area.
28. Blasting is not authorized for this project. If the construction methodology changes in the
future to include blasting, a modification to the permit is needed. Specific conditions
must address impacts to protected marine species if blasting is proposed. Such conditions
shall be in the form of an appropriate Blast and Watch Plan, approved by the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which can be contacted at
ImperiledSpecies@myfwc.com.
29. Reporting. If an injured or dead marine mammal or marine turtle is discovered in the
vicinity of the project location while mobilized, the following shall occur:
a. The Contractor shall cease all work and immediately notify the Permittee, and the
Contractor/Permittee shall immediately notify the JCP Compliance Officer:
JCPCompliance@dep.state.fl.us as well as the applicable agencies. The
Contractor/Permittee shall maintain contact with the injured or dead animal to the
greatest extent practicable until authorities (i.e., FWC and / or NMFS) arrive to
retrieve the animal. Work shall not continue until the applicable wildlife agency
has arrived on scene and recovered or rescued the animal.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
THE PROPOSED PROJECT AREA IS LOCATED ON WATSON ISLAND, ALONG THE EASTERN
SHORELINE OF THE ISLAND IDENTIFIED BY FOLIO NO. 01-3231-000-0021 AND OWNED BY
THE CITY OF MIAMI. THE PROJECT AREA IS DIVIDED INTO TNO SECTIONS, NORTH AND
SOUTH OF THREE PIERS WITH THEIR ACCOMPANYING BOAT RAMPS. THE OVERALL
AREA RANGES FROM UPLANDS TO NEAR SHORE HABITAT THE SUBSTRATE IN THE AREA
IS COMPOSED OF ROCKS OF VARYING SIZE. THERE IS ALSO A LARGE AMOUNT OF
DEBRIS AND MANY DINGHIES, ABANDONED OR USE BY THE BOATERS IN THE OFFSHORE
MOORING AREA ALONG THE SHORELINE OF THE PROJECT AREA. A COMBINATION OF
NATIVE AND NUISANCE/EXOTIC VEGETATION IS FOUND WITHIN THE UPLAND AND
INTERTIDAL ZONES OF THE PROJECT AREA. SPECIFICALLY, NATIVE VEGETATION
INCLUDES RED MANGROVE (RHIZOPHORA MANGLE), BLACK MANGROVE (AVICENNIA
GERMINANS), GREEN BUTTONWOOD (CONOCARPUS ERECTUS), SABAL PALM (SABAL
PALMETTO) AND SEAGRAPE (COCCOLOBA UVIFERA). NUISANCE/EXOTIC VEGETATION
INCLUDED BRAZILIAN PEPPER (SCHINUS TEREBINTHIFOLIA) AND COCONUT TREE
(COCOS NUCFERA). THE DOMINANT PLANT SPECIES WITHIN THE PRCJECT AREA
FLUCTUATES BETNEEN RED MANGROVE AND BRAZILIAN PEPPER. THERE ARE ALSO
BARREN AREAS WITHIN THE UPLAND AND INTERTIDAL ZONE THE NEARSHORE ZONE
CONTAINS SEAGRASS BEDS.
THE FIRST PHASE OF THE RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT PROJECT WILL BE TO
REMOVE DEBRIS AND NUISANCE/EXOTIC VEGETATION FROM THE PROPOSED
MITIGATION AREA. DEBRIS TO BE REMOVED INCLUDES ABANDONED DINGHIES AND
ROWBOATS, CONCRETE WITH REBAR, AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS (FIG. CLOTHING, FOOD
AND DRINK CONTAINERS). NUISANCE/EXOTIC VEGETATION TO BE REMOVED WILL BE
PRIMARILY COMPOSED OF BRAZILIAN PEPPER SUBSEQUENTLY, SUBSTRATE WILL BE
REMOVED AT PROPOSED PLANTING AREAS IN ORDER TO OBTAIN
APPROPRIATE ELEVATIONS FOR PLANTING MANGROVES (I E. -0 440 NAVD 88 FOR RED
MANGROVES). THIS INITIAL PHASE WILL CREATE SPACE AND FAVORABLE ELEVATIONS
FOR THE PLANTING AND RECRUITMENT OF MANGROVES. THEN A 2.1 HYBRID SLOPE
WILL BE CREATED LANDWARD OF MANGROVE PLANTING AREA, FROM THE EXISTING
TOP OF EMBANKMENT TO THE ABOVEMENTIONED MANGROVE ELEVATIONS. THE
HYBRID SLOPE WILL BE COMPOSED OF A RIP -RAP REVETMENT CAPPED WITH SOIL
AND COASTAL UPLAND PLANTINGS.
A RIP -RAP WATERBREAK WILL BE PLACED BELOW THE MEAN HIGH WATER LINE AND
ALONG THE WATERWARD EDGE OF THE MANGROVE PLANTING AREAS AT A MINIMUM
DISTANCE OF 10-FT FROM THE SEAGRASSES. THE RIP -RAP WATERBREAK WILL
PROTECT THE PLANTED MANGROVES, SERVE AS AN EROSION CONTROL BARRIER,
AND WILL AID THE STABILIZATION OF SEDIMENT PLANTING WILL OCCUR LANDWARD
OF THE RIPRAP WATERBREAK.
TO PROTECT EXISTING MANGROVES ONSITE, SILT FENCING OR SIMILAR EROSION
CONTROL BARRIER SHOULD BE INSTALLED THE BARRIER WILL BE PLACED IN A
MANNER THAT ALSO INCLUDES AND PROTECTS THE EXISTING MANGROVE ROOTS.
IN ORDER TO PLANT THE MANGROVE SAPLINGS, HOLES WILL BE CREATED IN THE
EXISTING SUBSTRATE ONCE TARGET ELEVATION IS OBTAINED (I E.-0440 NAVD 88 FOR
RED MANGROVES) AND WHEN PLANTING IS READY TO OCCUR. A SOIL AMENDMENT
OF 50 % SANDY SOIL 50 % ORGANIC SOIL WILL BE ADDED TO THESE HOLES IN ORDER
TO PROVIDE A FAVORABLE SUBSTRATE FOR THE SAPLING TO BE PLANTED.
NURSERY GROWN SAPLINGS OF RED MANGROVES (R. MANGLE) WILL BE PLANTED AT
THE MITIGATION SITE. MANGROVES WILL BE PLANTED AT A DISTANCE OF 3-FT FROM
CENTER TO EACH OTHER. THE PROPOSED RESTORATION AREA WHERE PLANTINGS
WILL OCCUR IS APPROXIMATELY 0 073 ACRES.
THE SEAGRASS NEAR THE MITIGATION SITE WILL BE PROTECTED DURING
CONSTRUCTION BY TYPE 1 TURBIDITY CURTAINS THAT WILL BE INSTALLED AT A
MINIMUM OF 10 FEET FROM THE SEAGRASS BEDS.
