NO. LTC #

LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Members of the City C mission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: May 10, 2017
SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF MONITORIN WELLS -- South Pointe Park
As part of the overall flood mitigation program, the City has contracted with AECOM,
through the Public Works Department, to install groundwater monitoring wells. The
wells, to be located across the City, will provide a better understanding of our
hydrogeology and its direct relationship with flooding and sea level rise.
Three wells have been proposed at South Pointe Park. The work will consist of installing
three groundwater monitoring wells at different depth intervals from May 22nd to June 2nd
A drill rig will be used to install the wells. The site will be restored when the work is
complete. Water and sediment produced from drilling activities will be adequately
managed by following NPDES standards. At ground level, concrete pads will be poured
around the wells to complete them. An automated measuring system will then be
installed to monitor groundwater properties on a permanent basis.
Work hours will be from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and extended hours are subject to City
approval. The above work schedules are contingent on weather and may change due to
unforeseen circumstances.
Please see attached project advisory issued by the Public Works Department. Should
you have additional questions regarding the installation of monitoring wells, please
contact Carlos Tamayo at (786) 910-1452.
