Fiscal Year 2018-2019 IRLNEP West Wabasso Phase II Septic to Sewer Project is preventing stormwater pollution from leaching from topsoil's into estuarine water during major rain events. The project would yield a positive benefit to the Lagoon by reducing an estimated amount of 3,131 pounds/year of total nitrogen and 505 pounds/year pounds of total phosphorus from being leached into the Lagoon. This project supports the adopted Central IRL Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP), the allocated Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Plan and IRL Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP). It directly supports the effort to achieve total nitrogen and total phosphorus required reductions set forth for the County in the Central IRL BMAP. It supports the IRLNEP economic study (Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., 2008) that estimates the total value of the lagoon's benefits to residents and visitors was estimated at $3.725 billion. It further supports the action plans put forth in the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program Comprehensive Conservation & Management Plan (2012). Finally, it supports the SWIM Plan (2002) that conducted surveys in all the IRL basins and concluded in general that the soils were not suitable for onsite sewage treatment disposal systems (OSTDS), particularly at densities of two or more units per acre. Project Fundin>; The West Wabasso Phase II septic to sewer project will convert approximately fifty seven (57) existing septic tanks to centralized sewer. The project will construct a gravity sewer system to service an area that has a mixed land use designation of primarily residential and a few commercial properties on septic for a total project cost of $2,250,984 and a construction cost of $2,100,000. As part of the project, sewer stub - outs will be constructed to forty four (44) vacant parcels for future connection. The Indian River County Board of County Commissioners on January 16, 2018, committed up to $1,000,000 of Indian River County matching funds to support the successful completion of this project. The remainder $1.1 million will be requested through the SJRWMD Cost -Share grant program and the Local Funding Initiative FY 18-19 through the Florida Legislature. Funding Requested through IRLNEP: $200,000.00 We sincerely look forward to our project to be considered in the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 IRLNEP Funding Program.
