| Abstract: | On July 26th, 2016 an Interagency Working Group (IWG) was created to evaluate and minimize potential environmental impacts from the Port Everglades Navigation and Improvements Project (PENIP). The IWG includes representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), NMFS, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Broward County Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department (EPGMD), and Port Everglades. On March 27, 2017, the IWG approved the Reconnaissance Survey Protocol Port Everglades Navigation Improvements Project (Appendix A). This plan provided the agreed upon study objectives and survey methods. On June 13, 2017, Dial Cordy and Associates (DCA) was contracted by David Miller and Associates (DMA), under contract with the Broward County Port Everglades Department, to implement the Reconnaissance Survey Protocol Port Everglades Navigation Improvements Project (Appendix A) and prepare this report. Following site visits by IWG members, an addendum was submitted and adopted on September 20, 2017 that amended the final survey protocol (Appendix A). The following report details the results of the reconnaissance survey. |
