- 9. Project Description/Overview
- This project is intended to improve the Trautman Basin drainage system from Pineville Rd., near the Pineville/Railroad Pump Station all the way to the outfall into the MS Sound just west of West Ave. in Long Beach. This project is critical to improved stormwater runoff control in the basin, which will enhance coastal sustainability and hurricane resilience within the basin specifically and the City generally. In June 2016, October 2016, and April 2017, the City was hammered by three 100+ year rainfall storm events, with impacts to citizens and property similar to a 500 year event due to the deficiencies in the City’s drainage systems. This drainage basin has been identified as one of the largest drainage basins in the City and one of the most critical due to its route through the Pineville/Railroad area and through the Long Beach High School property. Improvements in the downstream portion of the basin will obviously have positive impact throughout the entire basin and sets the stage for future phases of improvements. Further, this drainage basin has been identified as severaly polluted due to deficient sewer infrastructure upstream of the outfall, at the intersection of Pineville Rd. and Railroad St. The upstream sewer inftrastructure is currently slated for upgrades utilizing a DEQ grant, meaning improvements and cleaning of the downstream drainage basin should have lasting and meaningful results. The project will consist of cleaning and improvements to the natural channels & drainageways of the Trautman basin, along with construction of a new outfall structure from U.S. Hwy. 90 south to the MS Sound.
- 10. Project Goals/Objectives
- -Improve drainage infrastructure critical to hurricane protection -Mitigation of damages to ecological areas due to repeated sewer overflows
- 11. Which of the following authorized uses set forth in the GOMESA Act does this project fall under?
- (A) Projects and activities for the purpose of coastal protection, including conservation, coastal restoration, hurricane protection, and infrastructure directly affected by coastal wetlands losses
- Yes: Construction of this improved drainage outfall would improve drainage function in the area and would facilitate conservation and coastal restoration by combining the drainage outfalls in the nearby area into one outfall which would be appropriately sized and capable of handling such flows.
- (B) Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, or natural resources.
- (C) Implementation of a federally-approved marine, coastal, or conservation management plan.
- (D) Mitigation of the impact of Outer Continental Shelf activities through funding of onshore infrastructure projects.
- 12. Project Timetable/Milestones
- It is estimated that this project could be designed, permitted, bid, and constructed within two and ½ (2-½) years from date of funding and authority to begin.
- 13. Project Timing
- Short-term
- 14. Current status of architectural/engineering plans & specifications for this project (if applicable):
- In Progress Funds Not Budgeted
- 15. In what way does this project meet the goals and objectives of the Department of Marine Resources, which includes enhancing, protecting and conserving the marine interest of Mississippi for present and future generations?
- Construction of this project will improve drainage infrastructure which is critical to the City’s drainage plans, especially for hurricane protection. Furthermore, restoration and cleaning of the environmentally-damaged basin will help mitigate and restore the natural areas in the drainage basin and in the coastal habitat at the basin outfall.
