ATTACHMENT 3 GRANT WORK PLAN PROJECT TITLE: Hobart Landing Septic -to -Sewer Project PROJECT LOCATION: The Project will be located in Vero Beach, FL within Indian River County; Lat/Long (27.7572, -80.4142). See Figure 1 for a site map. PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Hobart Landing residential community consists of approximately 53 homes in the unincorporated area of Indian River County (Grantee). These homes are located in the Central Indian River Lagoon (Central IRL) basin management action plan (BMAP) area, and they are currently using individual septic systems. These septic tanks leach harmful nutrient loads into the groundwater connecting to the Central IRL, which is considered an impaired watershed. The construction of public sewer infrastructure for these homes will allow for future expansion of the County's sanitary sewer system. The completion of this project will ultimately result in restoration efforts of water quality to the Central IRL by reducing an estimated 1,400 pounds per year (lb/year) of total nitrogen. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Grantee will design, obtain all required permits, and construct approximately 6,400 linear feet of public sewer infrastructure that consists of new sewer mains and lateral stub -outs for approximately 53 homes/lots in the Hobart Landing residential community. The completion of the design phase will determine if force main and a lift station is needed for the construction phase of the project. The DEP Grant Funds associated with this Agreement were awarded based on local contributions pledged towards the total project costs: $1,100,000.00 from Indian River County. A summary of the local contributions will be required in the Final Quarterly Progress Report, and financial supporting documentation shall be provided upon request. TASKS: All documentation should be submitted electronically unless otherwise indicated, and should be submitted prior to the expiration of the grant agreement. Task 1 • Commitment to Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) Deliverables: The Grantee will submit an official letter to the Department's Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration indicating its commitment to completing this project and requesting this project be included in the Central Indian River Lagoon BMAP. Documentation: The Grantee will submit a signed copy of this letter to the Department's Grant Manager. Performance Standard: The Department's Grant Manager will review the copy of the letter to ensure it indicates the Grantee's commitment to completing this project and contains a request for this project to be included in the appropriate BMAP. Approval by the Department will be indicated by written acceptance by the Department's Grant Manager. Financial Consequences: The Grantee may not proceed with any other tasks in this Agreement until written acceptance of the deliverable is provided by the Department's Grant Manager.
