Description
This project is in response to a FY2009 cooperative funding request from Pelican Cove Condominium Association.
Pelican Cove is a Sarasota County Neighborhood Environment Stewardship Team (NEST) community which has
begun to retrofit stormwater BMPs in the 1970's property. This project involves the design and construction of berms to
redirect the flow of stormwater runoff into detention areas and swales designed to reduce the amount of flow
and pollutants entering Little Sarasota Bay by as much as 80% to 90%. The project will provide treatment for
stormwater from approximately 20 acres of Pelican Cove Condominiums. Maintenance will be provided by Pelican
Cove Condominium Association which has a staff of over 40 grounds and maintenance employees.
Benefits
The stormwater treatment system will redirect stormwater runoff from approximately 20 acres of the site, reducing
nutrients and sediments that currently flow untreated to Little Sarasota Bay.
Costs
The FY2009 project cost is $35,000, with the Pelican Cove Condominium Association and the District each
contributing half ($17,500). The District share is split between the Manasota Basin Board ($8,750) and State SWIM
($8,750). District funds shown in the table includes staff salaries.
Additional Information
Since 1950, approximately 50 percent of Tampa Bay's natural shoreline and approximately 40 percent of Sarasota
Bay's intertidal wetland habitat has been lost due to development and reduction in water quality. This resulted in a
decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants
and animals. The SWIM Plans for Tampa Bay and Sarasota Bay outline goals to restore habitat throughout the bay
areas and reduce pollutant loads entering the bays. The objectives of this project are consistent with these goals.
