2012 FDOT Mitigation Plan - Southwest Florida Water Management ...

FDOT PROJECTS
Since the inception of the FDOT Mitigation Program in 1996, there are various
transportation entities within the Southwest Florida Water Management District
jurisdictional boundaries that have conducted mitigation through the FDOT Mitigation
Program. These include FDOT District 1 (Bartow), District 5 (Deland), District 7
(Tampa), District 8 (Florida's Turnpike, Orlando), Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway
Authority, and the Tampa International Airport, collectively referred to as FDOT. From
1996 through 2012, there are 133 construction projects mitigated through the FDOT
Mitigation Program. Over the years, a number of FDOT projects for which mitigation
projects were developed have been removed from the FDOT Mitigation Program,
including 22 projects in this year’s Plan. Currently, there are 46 construction projects, of
which 12 are newly added to the Program, that require mitigation to be provided through
the FDOT Mitigation Program. A total of 814 acres of wetland impacts have or are
planned to be offset through the FDOT Mitigation Program. These projects are
distributed over 13 of the 16 watersheds that are located within the Southwest Florida
Water Management District.
The following lists all the FDOT projects for which mitigation has been provided or for
which is mitigation has been requested to be provided through the FDOT Mitigation
Program. FDOT Project status of permitted, added, deleted, modified or unchanged are
based on the FDOT project inventories submitted by the FDOT for inclusion in this
year’s Mitigation Plan. Since mitigation must be provided according to watershed the
FDOT projects are grouped accordingly. Detailed information, including location,
projected permitting and construction dates, impact acreage and impact habitat type, for
all FDOT projects in the FDOT Mitigation Program is provided in the table appended as
Appendix C.
