| Project Description: |
| The City's Master Plan effort identified over 160 drainage basins in the City of Miami Beach. Approximately 34 of these basins were identified as a priority, based upon pollutant loading, pollutant concentration, flooding potential, citizen complaints, and City operational staff rankings. Many of the priority drainage basins are barely above sea level and the City's stormwater system is not capable of handling a 5-year storm event, as a result, flooding occurs in many of the basins, with even higher flooding levels during high tide. Flooding has a significant environmental, health and economic impact, causing businesses to be inaccessible to customers, and resulting in the additional cost of replacing and repairing damaged property. In addition, due to high groundwater elevtion, drainage is slow in these areas, requiring extensive periods of time to disipate. Continuous excessive ponding over the long term has caused deterioration and then failure of paved roads, mosquito breeding areas, and other public health issues. The City has committed to improving the facilites within the 34 priority basins. Stormwater will be collected and treated through either gravity wells or exfiltration trenches, where pollutants will be filtered or treated. |
