Description
This project is to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's
Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Hatchett Creek Watershed in Sarasota County. This BMP will be
implemented in the Eastgate improvement area. The project will improve flood protection level of service deficiencies
by enlarging outfall pipes and providing additional storage within the watershed by increasing the size of the retention
area. The proposed project will include an open swale ditch system or a stormwater retention pond to improve water
quality by increasing residence time of stormwater runoff prior to discharge. With FY2007 funding, the work on the
Implementation of BMPs will begin and includes the following tasks: hydraulic evaluation, design, development of
construction documents, construction permitting, bidding and contractor selection, and construction of the BMPs.
FY2008 funding will be used for the following tasks: evaluation, development of construction documents, construction
permitting and construction of the BMPs.
Benefits
The project will improve level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance and providing additional storage within
the watershed. The project is also expected to improve water quality by increasing residence times in the new storage
area.
Costs
The total budgeted amount for this project is $305,000, of which the District's share is $92,500. The District's share is
being funded entirely by the Manasota Basin Board. The City will contribute $212,500. The City has previously
expended approximately $120,000 for temporary flood mitigation activities within the project area, such as regrading
drainage swales. For FY2007, $55,000 is appropriated in the Basin's budget. For FY2008, $37,500 is appropriated
from the Manasota Basin to continue the project. When each task is completed the project budget may require
refinement based on the information gathered. The probable construction costs for this project are based on the BMP
alternative analysis developed by Sarasota County in the Hatchett Creek Master Plan. The District funding amounts
shown in the table include staff salaries.
Additional Information
The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed
Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models.
Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management
(CWM) initiative strategies. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction
documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and
construction engineering and inspection. The City previously budgeted funds for the improvement area for performing
temporary mitigation by regrading drainage swales. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the City will be
developed to complete the Implementation of BMPs. The City will manage the project, where the District project
manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks.
