Project Description: |
The Santa Rosa Regional Reclaimed Water Disposal System will consist of a series of rapid rate infiltration basins (RIBS) cosntructed over a 200+ acre area. The RIBs will range from 1 to 3 acres in size. The total capacity for the system will be 7.0 million gallons per day (mgd). The RIBs will be located on the Eglin Reservation norht of Holley Navarre, Florida and west of State Road 87. The apporximate center of the proposed site is located at longitude 86 w 55' 20" latitude 30 N 29' 14". The proposed project also includes the reclaimed water conveyance systems from he Navarre Beach Reclaimed Water facility and the conveyance systems required to service the Holley Navarre and South Santa Rosa Utilities Reclaimed Water Facilities. The Navarre Beach Reclaimed Water Facility is located on Santa Rosa Island. Santa Rosa County is requesting $8,989,000 fr this project, even though th etotal project cost is just over $22 million. This portion represents the amount of money necessary to place infrastructure on Navarre Beach, under Santa Rosa Sound and into and on Eglin and will creat a functioning system that removes all effluent disposal from Navarre Beach. The remainder of the project costs include the infrastructure necessary to include Holley Navarre Water and Santa Rosa Utilities thus creating a regional water reclamation facility. Santa Rosa County anticipates that these two utilities will bear a significant portion of those costs and is pursuing $3 million in federal funding through tthe Veterans Administration, Housing and Urban development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Bill to supplement their portions. However, these funding sources are not formally secured at this time, so they have not been noted as match in the application. It is important to note, however, that if these other funding sources are not secured, the money received through thsi application will be sufficient to cosntruct a functioning water reclamation facilyt for Navarre Beach , which will eliminate discharging the effluent produced by Navarre Beach Utilities into Santa Rosa Sound |
