Project Description:<br />

The proposed Channel 1C Renewal project is planned to provide channel maintenance for Channel 1C while furthering the<br />

<strong>District</strong>’s flood protection and water quality initiatives.<br />

The project area is the full length of Channel 1C. Channel 1C is begins at 62 nd street N and 98 th Avenue N and proceeds southerly<br />

through a mix of residential and equestrian ranch/ park areas to its confluence with Channel 1. The existing Channel 1C is<br />

approximately 3,300 linear feet (LF) of earthen/ grass lined channel. The existing channel has bank erosion in many areas and in<br />

some areas sedimentation and soil subsidence is jeopardizing the channel’s hydraulic capacity. Channel 1C drains approximately<br />

200 acres, roughly half residential area and half equestrian/ public park area. Channel 1C drains to Channel 1 and then to Cross<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>ou Canal. Cross <strong>Bay</strong>ou Canal ultimately discharges to Boca Ciega <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

The proposed project is to regrade and seed approximately 3,300 LF of Channel 1C. In addition, two pedestrian/ equestrian culvert<br />

crossing replacements and one headwall replacement are proposed. These improvements will sustain flood protection and prevent<br />

erosion and sedimentation in Channel 1C and subsequent downstream waters.<br />

Implementation of the project generally includes Design, Permitting and Construction.<br />

The PPWMD owns the property proposed for implementing this project. The project has been approved by the PPWMD Board of<br />

Directors to start at the beginning of Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 (October 1, 2013) and be complete by the end of FY 2014 (September<br />

30, 2014).<br />
