RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Supplemental Budget Amendment #201 - Stephan Hall, Budget Manager, Management and Budget Services

That the Board adopt the Resolution approving Supplemental Budget Amendment #201, Gulf Coast Restoration Fund (118), in the amount of $335,510, to recognize Grant proceeds from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Agreement Number RES02 under the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (RESTORE Council) for the design and permitting for the removal of legacy contaminated sediment that remains in the Bayou Chico.

BACKGROUND:

Escambia County has been awarded funds from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the design and permitting for the removal of legacy contaminated sediment that remains in Bayou Chico. Bayou Chico has experienced severe environmental degradation due to historic impacts including domestic and industrial wastewater discharges, shipyard-related pollution, and long-term untreated stormwater runoff. This project will provide funding for bathymetric surveying, sediment sample collection and analysis, engineering, design, and permitting for the future removal of legacy contaminated sediment that remains in the Bayou.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

This amendment will increase Fund 118 by $335,510
