Project Description:
The proposed Channel 2 pond renewal project is proposed by the Pinellas Park Water Management District (PPWMD) with the
purposes of improving water quality and providing infrastructure replacement, thereby furthering the District’s water quality and
flood protection initiatives.
The proposed improvements are located between 46 th Street N and US Highway 19 N. This portion of Channel 2 is primarily a
piped stormwater conveyance system that drains 170 acres +/- of residential and commercial area west of US Highway 19 N. There
are also a few short sections of open channel within the proposed project area. Channel 2 becomes an open channel system east
of US Highway 19 N and ultimately discharges to Sawgrass Lake.
The proposed project is to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) for several PPWMD ponds and outfalls along the
channel with the intent of improving water quality in Channel 2 and subsequent downstream waters. In addition, structural
improvements are proposed to provide immediate infrastructure maintenance in the open channel portion of the project. Proposed
improvements include 1) renewal of an existing wet pond at 46 th Street N including removal of accumulated sediments and pond
outfall control structure improvement; 2) replacement of six pond outfall control structures at various locations; 3) replacement of
one pond outfall pipe headwall in a open channel section of Channel 2, just west of 43 rd Street N; and 4) replacement of two
sections of concrete retaining wall banks in open channel, one just west of 40 th Street N and the other west of US Highway 19 N.
Implementation of the project generally includes Design, Permitting and Construction.
The PPWMD owns the property proposed for implementing this project. The project has been approved by the PPWMD Board of
Directors to start at the beginning of Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 (October 1, 2013) and be complete by the end of FY 2014 (September
30, 2014).
