Enviro-Tech Systems, Inc. completed this environmental restoration project for the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) in conjunction with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) as part of their Surface Water Improvement and Management Program.

ETS completed the construction of a water impoundment and drainage pump station for an 8,000-acre SFWMD dispersed water management project. For this project, ETS constructed over 16 miles of levee to create the water impoundment. The purpose of the pump station, designed by RCS and constructed by ETS, is to deliver stormwater from the SFWMD’s C-41A canal into the above ground impoundment to meet water quality treatment goals. To this end, a maximum flow rate of 242,000 GPM was required from the pump station.

The goal of this project was to construct water quality improvements to an area contributing to Bayshore Creek.

This project involved remediating issues impacting the operation of the Nubbin Slough Stormwater Treatment Area. The scope included correcting deficiencies in two perimeter levees by raising the berms; excavating undesirable material in the ditches and placing geotextile fabric and filter sand; installing culverts; and sodding the side slopes.
