| Project Description: |
| Funds will be used to complete the Big Slough Watershed Master Plan Study which will provide the City with information to develop a program of best management practices for effective long-term management of the watershed.

Much of the City of Nort Port lies within the Big Slough (Myakkahatchee Creek) Watershed. This study will be completed jointly with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). The estimated cost of the study is $1.283 million and the study will take approximately 3 years to complete. |
