| BACKGROUND: |
Project is the restoration of 10+ acres of historic wetlands within the Jones Creek floodplain. The area was cleared and filled by the U.S.. Navy in the 1950’s to provide a clearway beyond the southern end of the airfield runway as a safety feature. Corry Station no longer uses the runway system to launch or recover aircraft. The clearway has not been maintained. Property south of Highway 98 was later donated to Pensacola State College (fka Pensacola Junior College) in the 1970’s for the development of a college campus. An agreement currently exists between Pensacola State College and Escambia County to develop a plan to restore this portion of the historic Jones Creek floodplain.
Project will restore wetlands and wildlife habitat by excavating fill material associated with the former clearway. Project will include initial geotechnical survey of fill material. Findings shall be evaluated for material suitability for clean fill material. Project will also evaluate fill material prior to removal for potential contamination.
