Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns environmental benefits, technical and regulatory compliance, and public and community welfare related to a discharge. The project aims to improve or maintain existing water quality compared to historical conditions, and may include aquatic habitat restoration or enhancement. It also seeks to demonstrate net improvements in dissolved oxygen or reductions in contamination. Compliance with NPOES permit and FDEP effluent limits is required, along with meeting Class III freshwater criteria and Florida's antidegradation policy. Continuous monitoring and adaptive management are part of the plan. The project will maintain public, recreation, and aesthetic values of the Fenholloway River and support site redevelopment or repurposing. This item is currently under review by the Board of Commissioners. The scope of work would involve environmental monitoring, compliance reporting, and potentially site work related to habitat restoration. Contractors and suppliers involved in environmental services, water quality monitoring, and potentially site preparation or restoration could find opportunities. Early engagement is advised as the project progresses through its review phases.
