body

 

REQUESTED MOTION:

Motion to approve the funding agreement between the County and  FDEP as presented.

 

SUMMARY:

A funding agreement for a legislative project award during state FY 2025-2026 for wastewater effluent disposal in the form of deep injection well(s).

 

BACKGROUND:

The County submitted a project request for legislative consideration last year and was awarded $5,000,000 to install 1(or 2) deep injection wells at the wastewater treatment plant site located on SR 31. Alternative effluent disposal will be necessary to  further expand the treatment plant. The project is currently funded through this source, and additional $8,000,000 in Community Development Block Grant/Disaster Recovery. The project will go out to bid once all funding is in place and we obtain a release of funds through Florida Commerce.
