The Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM), the Water and Sewer Department (WASD), City of Miami Public Works Department, and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), submitted their first quarterly progress reports on the action items included within the approved MRC’s Water Quality Improvement Report. The City of Miami Public Works Department provided a verbal report and will submit a written report by April 5, 2002.  The reports are attached, and will be posted on the MRC web site.  The second quarterly report is due at the June 5, 2002 MRC Stormwater subcommittee meeting.

During the March 2002 MRC Stormwater subcommittee meeting, the East Little Havana Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) filed a complaint regarding stormwater and sanitary sewer overflows, adjacent to the First Street Bridge.  In response to those complaints, the Water and Sewer Department sent a work crew to the First Street Bridge area.  A manhole cover was replaced.  Following a recent heavy rainfall, the NET office reported to the MRC that no overflows occurred.  Currently, the NET office is seeking funding for a beautification project beneath the First Street Bridge, similar to the new East Little Havana Riverside Garden, beneath the Flagler Street Bridge.

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the MRC’s Stormwater subcommittee is scheduled for the first Wednesday of the month, May 1, 10 am, in the SFWMD Regional Service Center, 172-A West Flagler, video conferencing with the West Palm Beach SFWMD offices.

The meeting was adjourned
