Agenda 01/09/2018 Item #16A1401/09/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to provide after-the-fact approval for the submittal of a RESTORE Act Direct
Component grant application to the US Department of Treasury for the preliminary development
and design of the Collier County Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Plan in the amount of
$1,532,077.76.
OBJECTIVE: To receive after-the-fact approval from the Board of County Commissioners to submit a
RESTORE Act Direct Component grant application to the US Department of Treasury (Treasury) to fund
the preliminary development and design of the Collier County Comprehensive Watershed Improvement
Plan. Collier County CMA #5330 Grant Coordination requires that the Board of County Commissioners
approve all grant applications.
CONSIDERATIONS: On November 29, 2017, Treasury approved the Collier County Multiyear
Implement Plan (MYIP) that was approved through Resolution 2017-183 by the Board of County
Commissioners on October 10, 2015, and submitted to Treasury on October 25, 2017. The approval of
the MYIP allowed Collier County to submit a grant application to request the funds that are currently
available in the RESTORE Act Direct Component fund to implement the MYIP. Treasury opened a grant
application cycle in July 2017, however, Collier County was not abl e to apply until after the MYIP was
approved on November 29, 2017. The deadline for the July 2017 application cycle is December 11, 2017.
Collier County CMA No. 5330 authorizes the County Manager to approve the submittal of grant
applications with subsequent Board of County Commissioners action at the next available Board meeting
to ratify the approval as “after-the-fact.”
FISCAL IMPACT: As of October 1, 2017, Collier County had $1,532,077.76 available in the
RESTORE Act Direct Component trust fund. These funds include deposits from the Transocean and
Andarko civil penalty and penalty interest payments and the first of 15 BP annual payments pursuant to
the judgments and consent decrees resulting from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. There are no carryin g
cost or life cycle operations and maintenance costs for preliminary planning and conceptual design. The
RESTORE Act does not require local match.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To provide after-the-fact approval for the submittal of the RESTORE Act
Direct Component grant application to the US Department of Treasury in the amount of $1,532,077.76.

B. DISCUSSION OF SPECIFIC ACTIVITY
IF APPLICABLE, PLEASE FOLLOW SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS FOR NON-FEDERAL SHARE OF ANOTHER FEDERALLY FUNDED
ACTIVITY and ACTIVITIES APPROVED PRIOR TO JULY 6, 2012 IN THE DIRECT COMPONENT APPLICATION GUIDANCE.
1. Proposed Scope of Work
(a) Directions: Provide a detailed scope of work that fully describes the project or program for which funding is requested, including:
- Need, purpose, and objectives;
Need: Approximately 70% of Collier CountyÂs 2,300 sq. miles has been altered since the 1950's in order to accommodate coastal development. In addition
to shoreline modifications, extensive canal construction for urban and agricultural drainage has changed the timing and quantity of freshwater inflows to
coastal waters. These changes have dramatically affected water quality and quantity of many County estuaries. Prior to intense development, rainfall either
infiltrated into the surficial aquifer or flowed through extensive wetlands into the coastal waters of the County. The project development and permitting of
this project will be the first step in rehydrating and restoring at least a portion of the historical flows within the region helping to reestablish historical
wetland hydroperiods to some degree. Purpose: The purpose is to develop the conceptual design of the Collier County Comprehensive Watershed
Improvements Plan (CCCWIP) to a level that will allow the County to apply for the appropriate federal and state permit(s) and provide adequate site
analysis to develop a preliminary design that is demonstrated to be constructible, permitable and does not create adverse impacts to the surrounding
properties or environmental and water resources. Objective: Project development to the 30% design level to plan and permit the CCCWIP. This project is
the preliminary step in the development of the planning and design of the CCCWIP. As a discovery phase, timelines and deliverables may change to reflect
regulatory requirements that are revealed during data collection and agency discussions.
- How the project/program meets the identified primary activity designated in A1;
The project meets the RESTORE Act criteria of planning assistance as defined in 31 CFR 34.201(j) of the RESTORE Act. The project development and
permitting funding is planning for the eligible activity of Restoration and protection of the natural resources, ecosystems, fisheries, marine and wildlife
habitats, beaches and coastal wetlands of the Gulf Coast region per 31 CFR 34.201(a).
- Specific tasks, milestones and related timeframes (also captured in Milestones Report); and
Scope of Work: The County and it's contractor (to be determined through competitive process) would meet with various agencies to determine what, if any,
additional data is necessary for project permitting. This project is the preliminary step in the development of the planning and design of the CCCWIP. As a
discovery phase, timelines and deliverables may change to reflect regulatory requirements that are revealed during data collection and agency discussions.
Below is a detailed listing the tasks/deliverables anticipated at this time to be accomplished within the scope of work. 1. Preliminary data compilation -
Compilation of relevant available data (including GIS data) to coordinate with regulatory agencies in identifying potential environmental issues and
permitting requirements. TIMEFRAME: 90 days DELIVERABLE: Status Report 2. Agency coordination - Coordination and meetings with state and
federal regulatory agencies for necessary monitoring and permitting requirements for species, habitats and wetlands. TIMEFRAME: Ongoing
DELIVERABLES: Quarterly Status Reports 3. Coordination with Regulatory Agencies regarding model comparisons - This effort would involve
maintaining close coordination between the CountyÂs modeling team and the Big Cypress Basin (BCB) and others as related to the use of the USACEÂs
Gridded Surface/Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA; aka ÂGeishaÂ) model. TIMEFRAME: 15 months DELIVERABLES: Quarterly Status
Reports 4. Evaluate Project Effects on Groundwater Elevation - This effort would focus on refining estimates of changes in groundwater elevations in the
following locations; Northern flow way, I-75 Canal and South Belle Meade spreader, Picayune Strand Forest and Picayune Strand Restoration Project, Six
L's agricultural area and urban areas along Henderson Creek and south of US 41. TIMEFRAME: 15 months DELIVERABLES: Quarterly Status Reports
5. Preliminary data collection to evaluate changes in habitat, actual rates of infiltration and evapotranspiration and changes in water quality associated with
project implementation. TIMEFRAME: Ongoing DELIVERABLES: Quarterly Status Reports 6. Coordinated efforts of other entities - Coordination
between the County, the City of Naples and Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (RBNERR) TIMEFRAME: Ongoing DELIVERABLES:
Quarterly Status Reports FINAL DELIVERABLE: FINAL REPORT
- Description of all funding sources included on the SF-424
Only RESTORE Direct Pot 1 funds are included on the SF-424
Projects designed to protect or restore natural resources must be based on best available science. Include a description of the methods to be used
to achieve the protection or restoration objective(s). (Also complete Question B.6.)
This project involves the planning and project development to the 30% design level to plan and permit the CCCWIP.
(b) If the proposed project is part of a larger project outside the scope of this application, describe the larger project and the proposed project's
relationship to it.
The proposed project is the planning involved in the development and conceptual design in order to permit the improvements outlined in the Collier
County Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Plan(CCCWIP). It is anticipated that future Direct Component applications will request funding for
construction phases of the CCCWIP as determined during the planning and design.
2. Budget Justification (See OMB Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards)
Directions: Explain in detail how the proposed budget supports the proposed scope of work. The budget justification should relate each budget
category listed in the SF-424A and SF-424C to the specific tasks discussed in the response to B1. Provide specific justification for ALL budget
categories that apply, including an explanation of the necessity, allowability, reasonableness, and allocability of proposed costs. Please refer to the
relevant Funding Opportunity Announcement for descriptions of the budget categories.
Budget Category: Contractual Collier County will select a qualified consultant through a competitive bid process.
3. The Applicant's Selection and Oversight of Contractors, if applicable
Directions: Indicate if the applicant plans to contract out any work described under the Budget Justification (see B2) including construction. If so,

Collier County conducted a highly participatory process to review and gain approval and support for the multi-year implementation plan detailing this
project. This included multiple presentations to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Program
Technical Advisory Ad Hoc Committee and to the City of Naples City Council. A legal advertisement for the Collier County Multi-Year Implementation
Plan was published twice in the Naples Daily News (a newspaper of local circulation) on Thursday, June 15, 2017 and then again on July 20, 2017 in both
English and Spanish requesting public comments during a 45 day comment period from Thursday, June 15, 2017 to August 31, 2017 and again from July
20, 2017 to September 4, 2017, respectively. The re-advertising on July 20, 2017 was a compliance issue from the U.S. TreasuryÂs review of the
CountyÂs Multi-Year Implementation Plan (MYIP). A revised MYIP was re-posted to the CountyÂs website in order to comply with the legal
advertisement regulations. In addition, Collier County Communication Support Division distributed a Notice of Public Meeting that was sent to the
community at large and all the local media. The notice was also posted on the CountyÂs website at www. Colliergov.net and on the media board in the
Communication Support Division. No comments were received during the 45 day period. Collier County Coastal Management Section hosted two (2)
public meetings to discuss the plan on Thursday, June 22, 2017 and August 17, 2017 at 2800 North Horseshoe Drive, Suites 609/610 (Growth Management

is later determined that the Applicant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal
government, Treasury may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
4. The Applicant shall provide immediate written notice to Treasury if at any time the Applicant learns that its certification was erroneous when
submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

Importance: High
Hi Chris,
I’m in Collier County now and have a dilemma/question. Collier County is submitting a project application to the
RESTORE Direct Component pot (DUE 12/11) for PLANNING and treasury is telling me I need to get Clearinghouse
review. The project is the development and conceptual design (to 30% level of design) of the Collier County Watershed
Improvement Plan. The goal is to use the conceptual design to assist in the design and permitting of the plan – which
will obviously be coming through your office. What do I need to send you for the review since this is really in the
planning stage? ALSO, what is your current phone number. I believe I have an old one (850)245-2169
Thanks!!
Respectfully,
Mindy Lee Collier
