| BACKGROUND: |
Lake Charlene Subdivision was permitted by Escambia County in January 1974. Subdivision additions started with Bridle Trail Estates (1977), Lake Charlene 2nd Addition (1979), Lake Charlene East plat (1991), Charlene Patio Villas (1991), Lake Charlene Phase III (1992), Lake Charlene Phase II (1993), and Lake Charlene North (1995). The rainfall event of April 29-30, 2014, affected multiple portions of Escambia County, Florida, including reports of heavy rainfall and flooding occurred in the Lake Charlene area, and the Myrtle Grove and Jones Creek areas, extending eastward to Bayou Chico.
The Lake Charlene project goal is to reduce flooding in the Lake Charlene Subdivision. This will be accomplished by lowering Lake Charlene, removing an existing sluice gate, and constructing a new overflow structure. A 60" stormwater pipe will be installed under Highway 98. Easements from Pensacola State College and Lake Charlene Homeowners Association are needed for construction and maintenance activities. This Drainage Easement, obtained from Pensacola State College, is needed to install rip-rap to prevent the stormwater from eroding the branch leading to Jones Creek, while also decreasing the turbidity and being an energy dissipator. The project is funded by an HMGP grant. |
