5a. Project Description (identify location and specific facilities to be provided):
* The City will replace three 30-year old stormwater pump stations that transfer water, from the City's
closed canal system to the SFWMD"s C-14 Canal. These pumps provide flood control to 35,000
residents and thousands of businesses located in the 7 square mile basin area, as well as several
neighboring communities and University Drive (State Road 817), which is a major North -South
thoroughfare in western Broward County. The basin is bounded on the west by the Everglades
Conservation Area 2a. The C-14 Canal discharges into the Atlantic Ocean during normal operations, but
can backflow into the Everglades Conservation Area during drought periods such as those experienced in
the last two years.
The basin is in a 100-year flood plain, AH zone, per the Federal Emergency Management Agency's
most recent .surveys', The existing pumps are performing well below capacity, are obsolete, and fail
trequent.ly The degraded pump capacity has resulted in minor to severe roadway flooding and has
threatened private residences and businesses throughout the basin. The flooding causes pollutants and
solids to wash into the canal system and also increases the possibility of exfiltration and infiltration in the
wastewater systern. The replacement pump stations will incorporate new design features to alleviate
flooding and he!p prevent pollutants trom entering the C-14 canal.
This project is part of an ongoing City plan to alleviate flooding and address environmental issues
associated with stormwater, In 1998 the City commenced a road reconstruction project throughout the
City to improve SV:)a rn drainage and add swale areas along roadways. "The swales provide a retention
area to allow pollutants and solids to settle out instead of flowing directly into the City"s canals. The road
reconstruction projects will be complete by the end of 2003. Along with the stormwater pump station
replacements, the City also has $6,410,000 in canal dredging, bridge improvements, and other drainage
improvements planned over the next five years. These projects will provide further enhancement to the
public health and environmental benefits that are desribed in more detail in 16a and 16d.

16. Will this project protect the environment? Yes MI No F,
16a.Describe, specifically, how it will protect the environment:
*During even moderate rainstorms, many areas of the City have 12" to 18" of standing water in the
roadways. As cars and trucks pass through the flooded areas, heavy metals, petroleum products, and
other pollutants are washed from the automobile's undercarriage. These pollutants end up in the closed
canal system, are pumped into the C-14 Canal, and eventually find their way to the Atlantic Ocean or,
during drought events, back to the Everglades. The large amount of standing water also significantly
increases the likelihood of exfiltration and infiltration into the sewer system. The sewage contaminated
water would also enter the canal drainage system and could impact the neighboring ecosystems.

16b. Will this project reduce pollutant loadings to a surface water body? Yes ® No El
16c. If yes, name the water body: C-14 Canal, Intercoastal Waterway, Atlantic Ocean, the Everglades
160, if yes; 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:
*The new pumps will be equipped with automated and remote response to allow City staff to start
pumping prior to a forecasted storm in order to create reserve capacity within the City's canal system.
For most storms of average magnitude, this advance preparation will allow a temporary pump shutdown
4
during the "first flush" of stormwater that contains most of the pollutants entering the system. Pumping
would resume once the pollutants in the "first flush" have settled to the bottom.
Also, the new pump station design includes reshaping of canal sections and optimized pipe sizes. The
larger pipes will decrease the velocity of the water flowing through the City's canal system by 20%,
thereby allowing more time for pollutants and particles to settle to the bottom instead of being pumped
into the C-14 canal. This will reduce the environmental threat to the Atlantic Ocean and the Everglades
caused by the pollutants in the stormwater.
,although current data on specific pollutants has not been collected, combining the first flush settling
techniques with the reduced flow velocity is expected to decrease multiple pollutants including petroleum
products and heavy metals trom automobile undercarriages, nitrogen and phosphorus containing
fertilizers from lawns and gardens adjacent to the canals, and silt and other sediments from the canal
embankments.

suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and other contaminants, and specify the practices that

17. Will this project protect public health? Yes ® No [1
17a. If yes, describe, specifically, how it will protect public health: [Field needs to hold 500 words)
*Because of the inadequate capacity and unreliable operation of the stormwater pumps, large amounts of
standing water are created throughout the basin. This standing water significantly increases the
likelihood of infiltration and exfiltration into the sewer system. These conditions would cause the
wastewater system to backup and mingle with storm waters creating a biohazard during and after the
event. The contaminated water would also enter the canal drainage system and could impact the
neighboring ecosystems as described previously.
