(3) BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFIC ROLE [8J Check if project performed with current firm The Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands, Phase 1 Project (Project) is a feature of the CERP. The plan selected for the expedited Project design includes the following features as recommended in the Basis of Design Report and approved by the Technical Review Board the Deering Estate Flow Way Component, (Alternative DE-3rl) and as directed by the District subsequent to that meeting;(Cutler Wetlands C-l Component Flow Way, (Alternative C-3): Deering Estate Flow-wav (Alternative DE-3rl) Routing water from the Spur Canal (off C-I OOA) to the east side of Old Cutler Road or S,W, nnd Avenue: Cutler Wetlands Flow-wav (Alternative C-3) Routing water from the C-l Canal in the vicinity of SW97th A venue and SW 232nd Street, to the Cutler Wetlands Rehydration Area, an area located east of SW 87th A venue and south of the eastward extension of SW 232nd Street): L-31 E Flow way Component (based upon BODR Value Engineering) Includes the design of 5 culverts to provide for rehydration of coastal wetland areas from the L3l E Canal in the proximity of the C-I 02 and Military Canals: . Five (5) culverts The BBCW Project is located in South Miami-Dade County and consists of five (5) features, which will be completed in two phases, Phase I, which is the subject of this Work Order, contains the Deering Estate Flow-way and Cutler Wetlands C-I Flow-way. The L-31 E Flow Way Component has subsequently been added to this initial phase by the District. Mr. Travis' role was to develop and implement project quality processes for this project, and monitor the project to ensure all processes are adhered to, and are effective, (3) BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFIC ROLE (2) YEAR COMPLETED PROFESSIONAL CONSTRUCTION(if SERVICES: applicable): [8J Check if project performed with current firm (1) TITLE AND LOCATION (City and State) 5-21 U.S, Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the South Florida Water Management District (District) signed an agreement for the agencies to construct modifications to the Central and Southern Florida Project (C&SF) features for the protection of manatees. Due to the configuration of the C&SF System it has been documented that manatees are able to enter the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) region through the Lake Okeechobee gate structures, and into the existing EAA canal system south and southeast of the lake, As the EAA region is primarily a pump-out drainage system with water being delivered via gravity from Lake Okeechobee, there is not a significant method of escape from the canal system once manatees enter the canals. The Acceler8 projects are planning on constructing additional structures and pump stations within this canal system for implementation of the CERP and EF A projects, further limiting the freedom of movement d. within the canal system due to lower water levels and potentially endangering the manatees, The Manatee Protection Barrier Retrieval Design Project (Project) is situated in Northwest Palm Beach County at three water control structures located along the southeastern shore of Lake Okeechobee, As of December 19, 2006 manatee barriers were installed at water control structures S-351, S-352 and S-354 to preclude manatee access to the Everglades region canals from Lake Okeechobee (Figure 2-1). These structures regulate the flow of water into the L-14 Canal (Hillsboro Canal) the L-20 Canal (North New River), the L-lO Canal (West Palm Beach Canal) and the L-25 Canal (Miami River), respectively, This project is in compliance with the permit conditions forr the ST A project (CW A Section 404 Permit No, 199404352), and was required to be operational prior to connection of the ST As to the existing canal systems, at the end of December 2006, Mr, Travis' role was to develop and implement project quality processes for this project, and monitor the project to ensure all processes are adhered to, and are effective, e.
