By this application Biscayne Bay Development Corporation seeks authorization to install floating boat docks consisting of
16 slips in an area approximately 50' x 300' in Biscayne Bay near 600 N. E. 36th Street, Miami, Florida.
The only construction involved would be the driving of some twenty-three 10" diameter square concrete pilings, to which would be attached the floating slips. Flotation will be provided by using old automobile tires filled with styrofoam and sealed to preclude the styrofoam breaking up. There will be no facilities for fuel or sewage on the docks and the marina is not designed for live-aboard boats.
An environmental specialist of the Department of Environmental Regulation performed on an on-site inspection, and evaluated the project. He concluded that the project would not degrade the water quality of Biscayne Bay.
In the absence of protest the evidence submitted is sufficient to show that the installation of floating docks, as proposed in the instant application, will not adversely affect the water quality of Biscayne Bay. It is, therefore,
RECOMMENDED that the application of Biscayne Bay Development Corporation for a permit to install floating docks in Biscayne Bay near N.E. 36th Street be approved.
ENTERED this 23rd day of October, 1975, in Tallahassee, Florida.
