  • Big Coppitt Johnsonville Subdivision Road Mitigation Project
    Monroe County Big Coppitt Key Johnsonville Subdivision Road Mitigation Project GIP Project Description Page 1 of 7 Monroe County Big Coppitt Key Johnsonville Subdivision Road Mitigation Project Community Development Block Grant – Mitigation Program General Infrastructure Program Big Coppitt Key - Johnsonville Subdivision Road Mitigation Project PROJECT DESCRIPTION Purpose and Description: Monroe County is the Southernmost County in the Continental United States. It is comprised of the Florida Keys, which are a string of over 800 low-lying islands stretching 130 miles in length and connected by only one road in and out, the Overseas Highway (US1). This grant application requests $8,514,819 in Community Development Block Grant- Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) grant funding to improve roadways in the Johnsonville subdivision located on Big Coppitt Key by designing and constructing an engineered storm water collection, treatment and disposal system. Figure 1 details the location of the project. This project will protect access to 86 residential homes that are subject to frequent and persistent flooding due to storms, tides, and that are at risk for future sea level rise impacts. The Big Coppitt Johnsonville subdivision drainage improvement project site is an approximately 18-acre area in a residential neighborhood that is located on the north side of Big Coppitt Key at mile marker 10 in the lower keys. The roads on the western side of the subdivision are at low elevation and frequently flood during rain events. The tidally influenced groundwater is high and the area does not drain naturally. Public Works crews are frequently dispatched to the area to pump storm water out of this low area to prevent water from flooding on adjacent properties.

    302 GeneralNotes [April[Auk stormy condition in the AransasBay region. It is possiblethat the Flamingo flew in ahead of the hurricane. There is also the possibilitythat the bird had been in this region for severalweeks. Mr. Gordon Gunter, of the Game, Fish and Oyster Commission,told me afterwardsthat somethree or four weekspreviously Mr. George A. Ratisseauhad reportedseeing, at a great distanceand not very dearly, what he thought was possiblya Flamingo among a group of RoseateSpoonbills, near his Jolly Roger Camp on CopanoBay. The Flamingo may have been a stray from the Bahama region or it might have come from Yucatan. The latter suppositionseems to be the most plausible one.- CONGERN. HAGAR(MRs. JACKHACAR), Rockport, Texas. Notes on certain birds of the lower Florida Keys.--Duringthe writer's assignment at Key West, Florida, for the Fish and Wildlife Servicefrom February 1939until October 1942,notes were made on the avifaunaof the Lower Florida Keys,which include thosekeys lying from about the Bahia Honda bridge southwesterlyto the Marquesas, including the Great White Heron and Key West National Wild- life Refuges. Although much time and study was devoted to the Great White, Ward's, and Wurdemann'sherons, about 160 speciesand subspeciesof birds were recorded. As comparativelylittle information has been publishedon the area, the followingspecies have been selectedas of specialinterest. Terrestrial bird life was disappointing until it wasrealized that the area is maritime, consistingof hundredsof keysscat- tered along the Gulf and Atlantic Oceanwith many miles of water.
