MIAMI-DADE COUNTY BACK BAY COASTAL STORM RISK MANAGEMENT FEASIBILITY STUDY SCOPE OF WORK for HYDRODYAMIC MODELING AND INITIAL WATER QUALITY EVALUATIONS SUPPORTING THE FEDERAL FEASIBILITY STUDY AND NEPA DOCUMENTATION
Miami-Dade County and the Norfolk District, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), are partnering to conduct a Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) Study to determine the Federal interest and feasibility of alternatives to mitigate coastal flood risk in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The CSRM Study is in the Feasibility Study (FS) phase in which alternatives are proposed and developed to conceptual/preliminary design level, benefit/cost analyses are conducted, and environmental studies are completed to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The magnitude of the feasibility study will require an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).A component of the FS / EIS is the analysis of expected impacts of certain proposed alternatives on tidal circulation and water quality in local waters, tidal rivers, streams and embayments in Miami-Dade County.
These waters are shown (Figure 1).
The purpose of the modeling is to support determination of whether the proposed alternatives will have significant impacts on circulation and water quality, and if so, to what degree and what potential mitigation actions might be applied / required.
