Y -- Phase 1 of the Western C-11 project consists of the construction of Pumping Station S-9A, which will serve to back-pump clean seepage water that has been isolated from urban and farm runoff into Water Conservation Area 3A. In the second phase of the project, a divide structure will be constructed east of the pumping station to prevent C-11 flows from moving west toward the pumping station. The pumping station is located adjacent to the existing Pumping Station S-9 approximately 1/2 mile west of U.S. Highway 27 at the intersection of the C-11 canal in Broward County, Florida. The project consists of construction of the substructure and superstructure, providing pumping units, providing the pumping station auxiliary equipment (including electronic controls for the engines and motors), an emergency generator, fuel piping and monitoring, relocation of a domestic water well, earthwork adjacent to the pumping station, and miscellaneous retaining walls. The construction of Pumping Station 9A includes the following: (a) The installation of two 175 cubic feet per second (cfs) pumps and two 75 cfs pumps. All pumps will be vertical impeller types. Two of the pumps will be driven by diesel engines through a right angle speed reducer. Two of the pumps will be driven directly by electric motors; (b) Equipment for the pumping station will include, but not be limited to, a trash rake, a bridge crane, and a standby generator; (c) Construction of the pumping station will include, but not be limited to, the station substructure, a fully enclosed building for the equipment, one access bridge, trash racks, and related civil works; (d) Other construction will include, but not be limited to, the pumping station approach and discharge channels. The approach channel will consist of a trapezoidal channel having a bottom width near the pumping station of approximately 50 feet and an invert near the pumping station of -13.5 feet, NGVD. The existing ground surface elevation in the vicinity of Pumping Station 9A is approximately 8.0 feet, NGVD.
