| Project Description: |
| Turkey Creek is a direct tributary to the Indian River Lagoon. The Creek is a primary source of pollutants and dediments that flow directly into the Inidan River Lagoon and has been classified as a 'critical watershed' by the St. Johns River Water Management District Surface Water Imporvement and Management Plan 2005 Update. Located within the Turkey Creek Watershed that flows directly into the Indian River Lagoon via Turkey Creek, the project proposes that the consturction of a stormwater detention pond to lower peak discharge rates generated from the Basin 9 watershed that ultimately discharge into the Creek; provide stormwater treatment to reduce sedimentation; decrease existing hydraulic grades/tail water conditions within the major ditch system serving the Harris Corporation Palm Bay facility to reduce localized flooding; and reduce velocities causing erosion of channel slopes. |

| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| mimimize local flooding; reduce erosion within the stormwater conveyance system; reduce pollutant loading being discharged into Turkey Creek; reduce sediment build up within Turkey Creek and ultimately the Inidan River Lagoon |
