Jacksonville Waterways Commission · 2026-08-28 · agenda_item

This item concerns the Jacksonville Waterways Commission's review of waterway issues. Ms. Lisa Rinaman of St. Johns Riverkeeper and Mr. Trey Ford of the Duval Soil and Water Conservation District and St. Johns Riverkeeper have raised concerns about a recycling plant's discharges and a downed tree blocking a creek near Dexter Drive. The Commission is considering how to address these waterway concerns. Potential work could involve investigating environmental compliance, clearing debris from waterways, and improving public access. Local contractors, environmental consultants, and debris removal services may find opportunities as these issues are addressed. Engaging early could provide an advantage before specific plans or permits are finalized.
