Description
This is one of the original multi-year funded watershed projects as the District was developing their current guidelines
and specifications for the Watershed Management Program. A Watershed Management Plan was developed for the
Saddle Creek Basin. After reviewing the BMPs proposed in the plan, it was determined that we would concentrate on
the maintenance activities proposed due to the cost to benefit evaluation of the flood protection projects. Over the past
few years the County has performed maintenance activities throughout the basin but we have concentrated on looking
at the bank stabilization along the Lake Parker Outfall that goes from Lake Parker to Saddle Creek Park. Phase I
looked at the most downstream section of the outfall where severe erosion was occurring along portions of the outfall
that the County did not have any easements over. The County obtained easements and developed a plan for providing
bank stabilization through this portion of the outfall and constructed this project in 2006. Since that time the County has
been designing and permitting a second phase to the Lake Parker Outfall project using the balance of the funding left
for this project. The County aniticipates the design and permitting of Phase II to be completed in FY 2008. The County
is requesting FY 2009 funding to construct Phase II of the Lake Parker Outfall Bank Stabilization and Flood Protection
project.
Benefits
The project includes construction of BMPs in the Lake Parker Outfall system to maintain conveyance capcity and
reduce errosion of the sidebanks, undercutting of the channel bottom, and the transport of sediments.
Costs
The projected cost for this project is $540,000. The District's share is $270,000, and the County's is $270,000.
FY2009 funding will be used for the construction of BMPs in the Lake Parker outfall system. When each task is
completed the project budget will be refined based on the information developed.
