$1.1 MILLION PROJECT WILL ALLOW FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TO ADDRESS SINKHOLE VULNERABILITY


$1.1 MILLION PROJECT WILL ALLOW FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TO ADDRESS SINKHOLE VULNERABILITY


~Federal Emergency Management Agency grant will help form a statewide assessment of sinkhole vulnerability. ~


TALLAHASSEE – A $1.08 million federal grant will allow the Florida Geological Survey, in conjunction with the Florida Division of Emergency Management, to conduct a statewide assessment of sinkhole vulnerability in Florida starting this fall.
The grant was funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in conjunction with the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The three-year project will start with geologists conducting a one-year pilot study in Hamilton, Columbia and Suwannee counties.The results of the pilot study will culminate in the production of a model that will generate a map showing the relative vulnerability of these counties to potential sinkhole formation. The resulting model will then be used to produce a statewide map during the following two years.
“Florida’s geology is complex and this grant will allow the Florida Geological Survey to produce a predictive tool that will refine our understanding of sinkhole occurrence throughout the state,” said Dr. Jon Arthur, Director of the Florida Geological Survey. “Ultimately, this assessment will aid planners, builders and environmental regulators for the betterment of human health and safety as well as the economy.”
Sinkholes are a common, natural feature of Florida's landscape because Florida sits on several thousand feet of porous limestone. Porous limestone aquifers can produce billions of gallons of fresh water. Naturally acidic groundwater and rainwater dissolves limestone, leaving behind void spaces. The resulting void spaces can lead to the formation of sinkholes, caves, and springs, all of which are called karst features.
The information gathered will help improve the State of Florida Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan risk assessment section on sinkholes as well as its corresponding mitigation strategies. An appendix to the State Hazard Mitigation Plan will be added to the project’s full findings.
“The Florida Division of Emergency Management is pleased to be a part of this project,” said FDEM Director Bryan W. Koon. “Sinkholes present a potential hazard to many Floridians throughout the state. By better understanding sinkhole vulnerability in Florida, we will be better able to prevent loss of life and property and keep Florida’s families safe.”
The request was sparked by Tropical Storm Debby, which brought heavy rainfall to Florida in June 2012, triggering the formation of sinkholes. In the months leading up to Tropical Storm Debby’s record rainfall event, most of Florida had been experiencing extreme drought conditions, resulting in lowered water levels in our aquifers. The result was an outbreak of sinkholes when rainwater caused dry underground voids -- previously filled with water -- to collapse.
Benefits of the project include more effective mitigation planning to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of sinkholes on Florida’s population and infrastructure; better understanding of sinkhole susceptibility; an increased understanding of Florida's karst terrain and hydrogeology, and how that affects the state. The assessment will help environmental regulators, growth management planners, the construction industry and local governments in developing protective designs as additional information about Florida's geology will facilitate planning for possible sinkhole occurrences.
For more information about sinkholes, visit DEP's Online Newsroom or the Florida Geological Survey website.

FBI ARRESTA A DOS ALCALDES DEL SUR DE FLORIDA POR CORRUPCION

FBI arresta a dos alcaldes del sur de Florida por corrupción 

 El Buró Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) de Estados Unidos arrestó hoy a dos alcaldes de ciudades del Sur de Florida bajo cargos relacionados con corrupción, informó una televisora local. El alcalde de la ciudad de Sweetwater, Manuel Maroño, y el de Miami Lakes, Michael Pizzi, fueron detenidos por agentes de la policía federal en sus oficinas la mañana de este martes, reportó el canal local CBS-4. Se esperaba que ambos comparecieran en una corte federal la tarde del martes. Pizzi se encuentra en su segundo término como alcalde. Fue elegido en 2008 y es un abogado que trabajó para una prominente firma de letrados en el sur de Florida. Maroño, miembro de la Comisión de Sweetwater desde 1995, fue elegido como alcalde en 2003. Actualmente ocupa el cargo de presidente de la Liga de Ciudades de la Florida, que tiene una membresía de más de 400 ciudades, municipios y villas de todo el estado. En el 2011 Maroño desempeñó un papel importante en el equipo de transición del gobernador Rick Scott. El gobernador se mostró decepcionado y dijo que ambos serían suspendidos de su cargos, de acuerdo con la CBS. La oficina de la Fiscalía Federal del sur de Florida se disponía a hacer públicos los cargos contra ambos servidores públicos.

En un duro golpe que sorprendió a la casta política de Miami-Dade, agentes federales arrestaron el martes a los alcaldes de Sweetwater, Manuel Maroño, y de Miami Lakes, Michael Pizzi, acusándolos de aceptar miles de dólares en sobornos a cambio de presuntas subvenciones federales para sus ciudades que en realidad eran parte de una operación encubierta del FBI para atrapar a funcionarios locales corruptos.
Maroño, de 41 años, y Pizzi, de 51, comparecieron esposados y vistiendo camisetas deportivas ante una jueza en el tribunal federal del downtown y, separadamente, dijeron que entendían las acusaciones en su contra. No se declararon ni culpables ni inocentes porque eso ocurrirá el 27 de agosto durante una audiencia donde serán instruidos de cargos específicos.
Ambos acusados salieron libres luego de pagar las fianzas de $250,000 para Maroño y $100,000 para Pizzi. Los alcaldes accedieron a entregar sus pasaportes y otros documentos de viaje a las autoridades federales.
El caso también involucra a dos conocidos cabilderos: Jorge Forte, de 41 años, y Richard Candia, de 49. Según los fiscales federales, ambos se entregarían a las autoridades este miércoles.
A su salida de la sede federal, Maroño dijo brevemente a los medios: “Solo tengo algo que decir: mi ciudad no tiene nada que ver con esto. No he hecho nada incorrecto. Vamos a seguir adelante”.
La abogada de Pizzi, Amanda Maxwell, dijo que su cliente es un hombre público que iniciará una batalla legal para limpiar su imagen.
“A Michael Pizzi lo conocemos como abogado, funcionario público y hombre de integridad”, dijo Maxwell. “Hoy comienza su lucha por su vindicación”.
Las acusaciones contra Maroño y Pizzi de conspirar con la intención de extorsionar, causaron revuelo entre los círculos políticos del condado. El gobernador Rick Scott anunció la tarde del martes la suspensión de ambos alcaldes.
Los vicealcaldes de Sweetwater, José M. Díaz, y de Miami Lakes, Ceasar Mestre, asumieron el martes las riendas de sus respectivas ciudades.
“Estamos sorprendidos y tristes por esta situación”, dijo Díaz. “Pero tenemos que seguir adelante, trabajando”.
Por su parte Mestre llamó a los ciudadanos de Miami Lakes a mantener la calma.
“Yo voy a ser el alcalde interino y quiero decirles a los vecinos que lo que ha pasado no va a afectar los servicios que ofrecemos a la comunidad”, manifestó Mestre. “Estamos en medio de la elaboración del presupuesto y vamos a seguir haciendo todo lo mejor para Miami Lakes”.
El martes Mestre fue entrevistado por agentes del FBI que llegaron a la sede municipal de Miami Lakes. Los agentes se retiraron alrededor de las 3 p.m. sin realizar comentarios.
“Todo esto nos ha tomado por sorpresa. Es una situación difícil y triste, en especial para la familia [de Pizzi].”, dijo Mestre. “Hay que recordar que uno es inocente hasta que se demuestre lo contrario”.
La madre de Maroño y comisionada de Sweetwater, Isolina Maroño, defendió a su hijo en breves comentarios a la prensa.
“El va a aclarar las cosas y saldrá bien de todo esto”, dijo Isolina Maroño. “Solo puedo decir que todo de lo que están acusando a mi hijo es mentira, él no hizo nada”.
