CDD reviews NPDES filing, storm cleanup authorizations and storm‑surge planning
Summary
Staff reported the Lee County NPDES annual report was filed and will be sent to FDEP before the Nov. 1 deadline; the Board approved emergency street sweeping for storm cleanup ($1,475) and discussed multi-year storm surge planning and potential partnerships with agencies.
Johnson Engineering representative Mark Zordan told the Board that the Lee County NPDES Permit FLS000035-004 Cycle 4 Year 7 Annual Report was filed with Lee County and will be submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection before the Nov. 1, 2024 deadline. Zordan advised staff to continue compliance into Year 8 while awaiting issuance of a new permit and said Johnson Engineering attends bi-monthly county NPDES meetings.
Premier Lakes reported that lake systems fared well after recent storms though one nano-bubbler unit will need repair. Board and staff discussed relocating the aerator near a homeowner lanai and associated 240V electrical work; Mr. Willis will review electrical proposals with the contractor.
The Board approved emergency street sweeping with Precision Cleaning, Inc. for storm clean-up at a one-time amount of $1,475; staff reported the vendor completed eight passes and removed eight loads of debris. The Board also discussed storm surge protection planning; Eric Long described a proposed advisory/review panel and asked the CDD to designate Board and staff representatives to help coordinate resilience work with county and state partners. A topographic hypothetical showed a 10–12' surge could flood 45–55% of the community, prompting consensus that Mr. Long and Mr. Merrill will assist.
