Appropriations <br />1. North Sebastian Septic to Sewer Project <br />The project will construct a gravity sewer system to service an area that abuts the Sebastian River, adjacent to the <br />Indian River Lagoon. The area has a mixed land use designation of primarily residential and one commercial prop- <br />erty. The project cost for the sewer portion is $4,353,501. The project has been endorsed by the 'Indian River <br />County Clean Water Coalition, the Friends of the St. Sebastian River and the Indian River County Florida Depart- <br />ment of Health. Due to the small lot sizes and close proximity to septic tanks, this area is also set to be converted <br />from domestic self -water supply (private well) to centralized water. <br />The project area currently encompasses a total of 124 parcels. Out of these parcels, approximately 92% are devel- <br />oped. Therefore, 114 parcels will connect to central sewer services and will provide a positive benefit to the La- <br />goon by reducing an estimated 3,534 pounds of Total Nitrogen per year and 570 pounds of Total Phosphorous <br />per year from entering the environment. <br />Position: Indian River County BCC respectfully requests you SUPPORT an appropriation of $1,111,231 toward <br />the North Sebastian Septic to Sewer Project. <br />140 <br />14 <br />
