Design Activities Preliminary Design Pump Stations Road Removal BODR Development Spreader Canals Protection Levees
Pump Stations • Sized for 100 Year Storm Event • Merritt – 810 cfs • Miller – 1250 cfs • Faka Union – 2650 cfs • Designed to Meet CERP and SFWMD Standards • 155 mph wind load • Diesel drives • Ten day fuel supply • Minimal Reliance on Outside Utilities • Diesel engines and generators • Remote Control and Operations Capability
Hydrologic Design Criteria • Match Canal Stage Hydrographs at I-75 For 5-Day, 100-Year Design Storm Event • No Pump Operation Below Minimum Canal Levels at I-75: Wet Season Dry Season(ft NAVD88)(ft NAVD88) Miller Canal 4.9 5.9 Faka Union Canal 4.9 5.9 Merritt Canal 5.2 8.0

Pump Stations Opinion of Probable Cost • PIR (Oct 2004) $67.5M (25% Contingency) • BODR (Sept 2005) $76.8M (30% Contingency) • Prelim Design (Mar 2006) $109.5M (25% Contingency) • Differences (BODR vs. Current Estimate) : • Installation of Major Equipment Added $5.6M • Additional Design Detail Reveals Additional Costs $1.5M • Use of Stainless Steel (Per District Stds.) $1.2M • Poor Soil Conditions – Requires More Site Preparation $9.2M • Additional Contingency Related Dollars $8.6M • Concrete Volume & Cost Per CuYd Under Estimated $6.6M • Potential Savings by using portable pumps for redundancy $7.0M
Stakeholder Issues and Concerns(Pump Stations) • Capacity and operation of pump stations • Hardy Pit is not a storage reservoir • Redundant pump capacity included • Pump Station operation will mimic existing structures • Impacts to wildlife due to noise, lighting, and towers
Stakeholder Issues and Concerns(other Project Features) • Location and sizing of protection levees is being addressed in a separate BODR. • Project will not change water quality • Working with DOF ; recreational opportunities will be consistent with DOF Land Management Plan • Additional modeling is being done to determine if there are impacts to Tamiami Trail • Pump stations will be operated in accordance with the Permit criteria and Operation Plan • All modeling will be completed before Final Design • Uplands and Wetlands were both used as criteria in determining Project benefits
