| Statewide Interest: |
| This project proposes flood relief in a retention area in the Knowles subdivision. This project lies along N. Sewall's Point Road which is a major evacuation route for the Town of Sewall's Point and Martin County residents. The project area currently floods in a 5-10 year storm event in both roadway and sidewalks. This improvement will provide sediment control prior to discharge into the Indian River Lagoon, which is an estuary of national significance and is part of the EPA's National Estuary Program. The diversion of excess surface water drainage from both urban and argicultural lands to the lagoon and associated habitat is also identified under both plans as a major contributing factor to the degradation of the water body. Mangrove wetlands and seagrass beds are critical components of the lagoon and play important roles in biological producivity and species diversity. |
