Drainage work underway at four River Ridge sites; crews, tree removals and sod installation scheduled
Summary
District engineers reported four drainage sites are under construction with pipe installation, grading and sod staging; Palmetto Dunes expected to finish this week and the overall project is projected to be complete by the end of July, with some tree removals required.
Charlie Krebs, District Engineer, said all four drainage sites are currently under construction with sites cleared and silt fence installed. He reported fill is staged at Turnberry, pipes are being installed and Palmetto Dunes is expected to be completed by the end of the week; the overall drainage project could be finished by the end of July if grading proceeds as scheduled.
Krebs said a total of twelve affected trees in Palmetto Dunes will need removal and replacement (mostly slash pines and two red maples), six Cabbage Palms in Oak Run must be removed and replanted, and sod is likely to be installed in Turnberry and Palmetto Dunes the week of July 2. Staff noted some irrigation pipe repairs and additional silt fence needs; the district will track additional costs, including a required pre-construction environmental review by Passarella for the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD).
