Note: FDOT received an updated FIT Study Model on 6/24/2019 and is currently under review Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 – Impacts with Causeway Removals New Planning and PD&E Studies Required • Planning Requirements - prior to PD&E Study – Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Amendment – Typically takes 6 – 12 months • Professional Services Procurement for PD&E Study – Typically takes 1 year Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 – Impacts with Causeway Removals New PD&E Study • Purpose and Need • Alternative Analysis – Engineering and Environmental Analysis – Includes No Build Alternative • Public Engagement Plan • Location and Design Concept Acceptance (LDCA) from FHWA • Typically takes 4 years Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 – Impacts with Causeway Removals Project Summary • Could delay project by 15 years • Funding may not be available to advance • Planning needs to be re-prioritized & programmed • Additional environmental and permitting risks • Additional mitigation anticipated to be required Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 Stormwater Evaluations • PD&E Study Completed in 2006 – From S.R. 524 (Industry Road) to Port Canaveral Interchange – Widen from 4 to 6 Lanes – Pond Siting Report (PSR) Recommended 3 offsite ponds BEGIN END PROJECT Banana PROJECT River Creek Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 Stormwater Evaluations • 2006 Pond Siting Report – Total Right of Way Needed = 15.3 acres – Total Wetland Impacts from Ponds = 13.1 acres – Treatment Volume Required (Presumptive Criteria Only) – No Nutrient (Total Nitrogen or Total Phosphorus) Criteria at that time Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 Stormwater Evaluations • SR 528 Design Project (#407402-4) – Pond Siting Report Update Completed in 2017 • Pre/post nutrient loading reduction required (implemented as of 2009) • Reduction in total nitrogen (TN) = 4.4 kg/yr • Reduction in total phosphorus (TP) = 3.7 kg/yr • Total Right of Way needed (4 Offsite Ponds) = 27.6 acres • Total wetland impacts from proposed ponds = 26.6 acres – Initiated Environmental-Look-Around (ELA) Process Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 ELA Process (Project #407402-4) • ELA Process Involved: – Engaged Regional Stakeholders • Brevard County Natural Resources • Brevard County Planning and Development • Brevard County Mosquito Control • Indian River Lagoon – National Estuary Program • St. Johns River Water Management District • Florida Department of Environmental Regulation • City of Cape Canaveral • City of Cocoa • Canaveral Port Authority • Palmetto HOA – Explored Regional & Watershed Opportunities – Evaluated Compensatory Treatment Opportunities – Identified Non-Traditional Approach Opportunities While Minimizing Environmental Impacts Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 ELA Process (Project #407402-4) • ELA Results: – Stormwater • Eliminated Offsite Ponds and Right of Way Acquisition • Incorporated Dry Swales and Nutrient Separating Baffle Boxes at Outfalls • Increased in TN = 6.5 kg/yr • Reduction in TP = 0.5 kg/yr Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 ELA Process (Project #407402-4) • ELA Results Cont’d: – Stormwater Options to Reduce TN • Incorporate Additional Nutrient Separating Baffle Boxes at Outfalls OR • FDOT Participation in Septic to Sewer Conversion Project (Sykes Creek “M”) – JPA is needed between FDOT and Brevard County – Allows for advancing additional SOIRL projects – TN increase of 6.5 kg/yr goes to a reduction of 706.4 kg/yr Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 ELA Process (Project #407402-4) • ELA Results Cont’d: – Environmental • Eliminating Offsite Ponds results in minimal Wetland Impacts • Mitigation of remaining project impacts could be accomplished through conservation, mitigation, and enhancement of Mosquito Impoundment Area • FDOT investigating the Purchase of Approximately 129 acres of Private Land • FDOT would then transfer ownership through SJRWMD to Brevard County • Brevard County has been acquiring similar lands in other Impoundment Areas Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
S.R. 528 Design Project (#407402-4) • Stormwater Evaluation Summary Traditional Approach ELA Approach (Recommended) 4 Offsite Ponds – Water Quality Compensatory Treatment - Water Quality 27.59 Acres Right of Way Estimated Minimal Right of Way Required 26.59 Acres of Wetland Impacts Estimated Minimal Wetland Impacts Total Nitrogen Estimated Reduction Total Nitrogen Estimated Reduction = 4.4 kg/yr = 706.4 kg/yr (160x better than Traditional) Total Phosphorous Estimated Reduction Total Phosphorous Estimated Reduction = 3.7 kg/yr = 0.5 kg/yr Mosquito Impoundment Outparcel Purchase FDOT Participation in Funding of Sykes Creek “M” SOIRL Project Ultimately Improves Water Quality in Indian River Lagoon (IRL) Florida Department of Transportation July 8, 2019
