| Are requesting funding for a stormwater, surface water restoration, or other water management project? |
Yes |
| |
| In which Water Management District is your project located? |
| |
NW 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. Andrew Bay |
| |
| 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: |
| Specific percentages for contaminate load reductions was not calculated in the previous stormwater study. However, anticipated environmental benefits include:
improved water quality, involving water clarity and dissolved oxygen
increased tidal flow
restoration of the bayou bottom to coarser sediments
The dredging can also be considered a flood relief project. Dredging will deepen the storage capacity of reservoirs subject to siltation which can be maintained by dredging. The deeper water will improve navigation of the bayous. The navigational dredging is the periodic removal of sediment deposited in the deepened channels. Maintenance dredging is a necessity for almost every navigable waterway and port in the world. Parker and Pitts Bayous are no different.
