- 9. Project Description/Overview
- This project includes the rehabilitation and repair of approximately 5 miles of sewer main as well as the attached services located within the sewer basin. The sewer system in the area has significantly deteriorated and is allowing large quantities of I&I to enter the system causing overflows. Approximately 3 miles of the sewer rehabilitation will be CIPP Lining. The remaining 2 miles will be complete pipe replacement. This project will also include the replacement or interior lining to the existing manholes.
- 10. Project Goals/Objectives
- The proposed environmental objectives to be incorporated within this project, as described above, are to enhance and support the following projects objectives. • Protect the wetland marsh and the vegetative species and wildlife critical to the local ecology from damage occurring due to sewer overflows. • Prevent raw sanitary sewer backing into homes, front yards, road, etc. and creating hazards that are costly and unhealthy. • Improve water quality from a watershed that directly impacts the Gulf of Mexico.
- 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: Yes: Erosion control measures will be implemented to aid in coastal restoration, hurricane protection, and loss of coastal wetlands. The replacement and lining of sewer pipe will also aid or stop the loss of foundation soils into the sewer system through infiltration.
- (B) Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, or natural resources.
- Yes: Yes: This project will remove keep harmful pollutants from entering surrounding soils and groundwater, which in turn would enter the adjacent wetlands and the Back Bay of Biloxi.
- (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
- Topographic Surveying: In Progress Engineering Design and Permitting: 8 Months Construction: 12 Months
- 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?
- The Forrest Cove Sewer Improvements project directly supports the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources' mission to enhance, protect, and conserve the state's marine and coastal interests for present and future generations. By addressing critical infrastructure failures that contribute to sanitary sewer overflows and inflow & infiltration (I&I), this project will significantly reduce pollutant discharges into local waterways and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. The rehabilitation of approximately five miles of aging sewer mains—including three miles of CIPP lining, two miles of full pipe replacement, and the repair or lining of existing manholes—will restore the integrity of the system within the affected sewer basin. These improvements will prevent untreated wastewater from entering storm drains, creeks, and coastal waters, thereby improving overall water quality and reducing risks to marine life and public health. In addition to its environmental benefits, the project advances coastal resilience by protecting downstream estuarine and marine ecosystems from nutrient loading, bacteria, and other contaminants commonly associated with sewer overflows. By modernizing this critical infrastructure, the City of D'Iberville is proactively investing in long-term water quality protection—ensuring that the marine and coastal resources cherished by residents and visitors alike are preserved for generations to come.
