Background and Discussion:
The Kluge Stormwater Detention Basin - Phase 3 project comprises the excavation of a new wet bottom stormwater detention basin. The project is being constructed using Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds.
The scope of work includes the excavation and offsite disposal of approximately 468,316 cubic yards of material to facilitate the construction of a new wet bottom stormwater detention basin. Construction activities include site clearing and grubbing, excavation and offsite disposal, pedestrian access tunnel, site grading, and the development of maintenance access path, all in accordance with the approved plans.
Expected Impact:
The objective of the project is to maximize stormwater storage capacity in the Little Cypress Creek watershed and reduce flood risk in the surrounding communities.
Alternative Options:
The No Action Alternative would fail to meet the purpose and needs of mitigating flood risk and provide additional system capacity for this Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funded project. Under the No Action Alternative, area residents would continue to be affected by area flooding.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.
County Strategic Plan Objective: H: Improve the condition and resilience of County transportation, flood control, and other infrastructure.
