RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Supplemental Budget Amendment #083 - NRDA Carpenter Creek Headwater Water Quality Improvements Project Agreement #DH006, J. Taylor "Chips" Kirschenfeld, Natural Resource Management Department Director - Stephan Hall, Budget Manager, Management and Budget Services

That the Board adopt the Resolution approving Supplemental Budget Amendment #083, Gulf Coast Restoration Fund (118), in the amount of $1,599,600, to recognize Grant proceeds from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Agreement #DH006, and to appropriate these funds to be used for the design, permitting, construction, and property acquisition of the Carpenter Creek Headwater Water Quality Improvements Project.

The Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Florida Trustee Implementation Group (TIG) has included the Carpenter Creek Headwater Water Quality Improvements Project within Florida's Final Restoration Plan. The project will reduce pollutant loading and hydrologic degradation in this urban watershed. The project includes restoration of County-owned 2.6 acre wetland; acquisition of 6 acres of land for construction of a stormwater treatment facility; and construction of a stormwater treatment facility to capture and treat stormwater that flows off Olive Road into Carpenter Creek, which ultimately flows into Bayou Texar. The restored wetland will improve habitats and species that depend on wetland habitats, stabilize the soils, and reduce erosion and sediment loading into Carpenter Creek. The project is a companion to the Carpenter Creek Headwater Park recreational project, and both are part of the RESTORE Act Direct Component (Pot 1) funded Carpenter Creek and Bayou Texar Watershed Management Plan.
