Status As Of: August 31, 2009
Status History: Meeting was conducted with the County's new project manager on November 9, 2006 to discuss the
project and the Cooperative Funding Agreement. In the development of the agreement, the County identified that this
project was mistakenly not in the County's FY2007 budget. On February 23, 2007, Desoto County sent a letter to the
District indicating the County's budgeting error and its commitment to the Watershed Management Program in FY2008.
The FY2007 Peace River Basin Board funds set aside for this project were balanced forward. Therefore, the project was
delayed until FY2008 funding were available. Agreement between the District and Desoto County was executed on
August 1, 2008. Status Current: District staff is currently working with two engineering consultants to complete the
watershed management plans for Deep Creek and Thorton Branch in Desoto County. The District has aquired and
assigned a peer review for these watersheds. The peer review of these watershed is anticipated to begin in October
2009.
