| TMDL 303(d) list per attached map |
| |
| Are requesting funding for a stormwater, surface water restoration, or other water management project? |
Yes |
| |
| In which Water Management District is your project located? |
| |
Northwest Florida Water Management District |
| Have you provided at least 50% match (that is, one-half the total project cost identified in this request? |
No |
| |
| Will this project reduce pollutant loadings to a water management district designated 'priority' surface water body? |
Yes |
| |
Name of water body: |
St. Andrews Bay System |
| |
| Describe, specifically, how it will reduce loadings, identify anticipated load reductions for total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and other contaminants, and specify the practices that will be used to reduce loadings: |
| This project will reduce pollutant loadings into Beatty Bayou, which is identified as a TMDL Impaired Water Body according to the Florida DEP and noted on the attached map. In turn, the project will reduce pollutant loadings into North Bay that is considered a part of the St.Andrews Bay System, which is recognized by the FLDEP as a priority water body within the Northwest Florida Water Management District. This will be achieved with a series of treatment swales and catch basins that will greatly reduce the amount of suspended solids now being deposited into Beatty Bayou and the St.Andrew Bay System. The proposed project will include piping the ditch and installing catch basins. Retention treatment swales will be constructed above the catch basin areas to capture as much stormwater runoff as possible prior to the stormwater being deposited into the culvert pipe. Stormwater deposited into the culvert pipe will have sediment filtered utilizing sump sediment traps. This process will significantly enhance the quality of the stormwater being deposited in North Bay.
The City of Lynn Haven has entered into a consent order with the FLDEP identified as OGC file No.06-0805-03-DF. This consent order is in turn a permit that authorizes the City to install the stormwater treatment measures proposed within this CBIR.
It should be noted that the existing ditch is extremely deep and runs along residential housing and directly across the street from a City park. The shoulder of the road is extremely narrow and is not even wide enough for the installation of guard rails. Over time, the continual erosion of the ditch bank will eventually result in a loss of the road. A more immediate threat is the potential for a vehicle to leave the road and plunge into the ditch or for a child to fall into the ditch after heavy rains. Piping of the ditch would alleviate these safety hazards in addition to reducing the suspended solids now being deposited into a priority water body. |
