Project Title: Eastern Shores Stormwater Retrofit Phase III Date Submitted 1/13/2003 12:33:54 PM
 
Sponsors: Gelber
 
Statewide Interest:
Completion of the project will accomplish a number of goals that includes protecting public health by reducing pollutant waters & improving stormwater management. The Biscayne Bay SWIM Plan has identified Maule Lake as a target water body. Maule Lake is an estuarine lagoon with degraded water quality that provides head water to the lower reach of the Oleta River. this portion of the Oleta River passes through the wetlands of Oleta River State Recreation Area. constructing an effective stormwater management system would significantlyreduce pollutant loadings to these waters, which are used heavily for public recreation in addition, during the course of the work, lateral connections will be made to the sanitary sewer connections that are deficient.
