Project Description:<br />
The proposed Channel 2 pond renewal project is proposed by the Pinellas Park <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>District</strong> (PPWMD) with the<br />
purposes of improving water quality and providing infrastructure replacement, thereby furthering the <strong>District</strong>’s water quality and<br />
flood protection initiatives.<br />
The proposed improvements are located between 46 th Street N and US Highway 19 N. This portion of Channel 2 is primarily a<br />
piped stormwater conveyance system that drains 170 acres +/- of residential and commercial area west of US Highway 19 N. There<br />
are also a few short sections of open channel within the proposed project area. Channel 2 becomes an open channel system east<br />
of US Highway 19 N and ultimately discharges to Sawgrass Lake.<br />
The proposed project is to implement Best <strong>Management</strong> Practices (BMPs) for several PPWMD ponds and outfalls along the<br />
channel with the intent of improving water quality in Channel 2 and subsequent downstream waters. In addition, structural<br />
improvements are proposed to provide immediate infrastructure maintenance in the open channel portion of the project. Proposed<br />
improvements include 1) renewal of an existing wet pond at 46 th Street N including removal of accumulated sediments and pond<br />
outfall control structure improvement; 2) replacement of six pond outfall control structures at various locations; 3) replacement of<br />
one pond outfall pipe headwall in a open channel section of Channel 2, just west of 43 rd Street N; and 4) replacement of two<br />
sections of concrete retaining wall banks in open channel, one just west of 40 th Street N and the other west of US Highway 19 N.<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 />
