LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Members of he City Co. mission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: May 10, 2017
SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF MONITORING ` ELLS — Marjory Stoneman Douglas 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 Marjory Stoneman Douglas Park. The work will
consist of installing three groundwater monitoring wells at different depth intervals from
May 8th to May 19th. 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.
