From:                          Darel W. Craine, Deputy Director of Public Works

 

Subject:                      Resolution authorizing approval of DEP agreement No. G0342 grant funding for the Lake Harris Water Quality Improvement Project.

 

 


Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of State of Florida DEP agreement No. G0342 grant funding for the Lake Harris Water Quality Improvement Project. 

 

Analysis:

The City of Leesburg developed a design plan to construct three new nutrient separating baffle boxes to treat non-point source pollution from stormwater runoff from the Lake Hollywood sub-basin to Lake Harris.  Lake Harris is on the verified 303(d) list of impaired water bodies and the only lake addressed in the Upper Ocklawaha River Watershed Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) that is not expected to meet the adopted Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Total Phosphorus (TP) upon completion of the projects included in the current BMAP.  Nutrient Separating baffle boxes can be installed underground in existing City of Leesburg owned right of ways where undeveloped land is otherwise not available.  The pollutant load reductions realized by this project will be included in the next update to the BMAP. 

 

This agreement will secure FDEP grant funding in an amount not to exceed $214,050.00 towards the total project estimated cost of $552,423.66. 

 

Options:

1.  Approve the State of Florida DEP agreement No. G0342 grant funding, or;

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

 

Fiscal Impact: 

This agreement requires the City of Leesburg to fund the remaining cost of the project.  Project is estimated to be $552,423.66.  Using the engineers estimate, the City will be responsible for approximately $338,373.66 of matching funds.  The project will go out to bid, which will determine the actual cost.  Funds are budgeted and available in the account listed below.
