| |
Name of water body: |
Florida Keys |
| |
| Describe, specifically, how it will reduce loadings, identify anticipated load reductions for total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and other contaminants, and specify the practices that will be used to reduce loadings: |
| Outfalls are being removed throughout the Florida Keys. The Little Venice Area has city sewers installed - and up and running. Stormwater, however, remains a problem. Our stormwater system will collect run-off water through a series of exfiltration fields, swales, and underground piping leading to injection wells. Given Little Venice�s precarious location, this will stop out-fall run-off into both the Gulf of Mexico (Florida Bay) as well as the Atlantic Ocean resulting in dramatic and measurable loading reductions resulting in compliance with the Florida Keys Reasonable Assurance Document. |
| Is the project under construction? |
Yes |
| |
| Are you requesting funding for a wastewater project? |
No |
| |
| Are you requesting funding for a drinking water project? |
