Approximately 4 miles of sewer system rehabilitation will be done by CIPP Lining. This process can be completed from manhole-to-manhole and does not require any open trenching aside from point repairs. The remaining 2 miles of sewer rehabilitation will be a complete pipe. replacement. The pipe being replaced has deteriorated to a point that lining the pipe is no longer an option. The project also includes the replacement of 5 manholes and the interior lining of 20 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 ohjectives. • 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
