This action approves an award in the amount of $1,481,858 to support the florida department of environmental protection's sewer overflow and stormwater reuse municipal program project to provide subawards to local municipalities in florida for costs associated with the planning, design, and construction of eligible water quality improvement and protection projects. The sewer overflow and stormwater reuse grants (OSG) program project will address local government's infrastructure needs for combined sewer overflows (CSO), sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), and stormwater management. Florida department of environmental protection (fldep) will use the granted funds to make subgrants to eligible municipal entities for eligible projects. Activities:the activities to be performed include the execution and development of overflow and/or stormwater infrastructure projects.

The outcomes provided from this grant are expected to protect public health and improve water quality by reducing sewer overflows through the management of stormwater. The project will restore the integrity of, and reduce infiltration and inflow into, the city's wastewater system and thereby eliminate overflows from the system and exceedances of wastewater permit effluent limitations. A history of ssos and treatment plant overloading cause by infiltration and inflow has resulted in state enforcement action in the form of consent order OGC no. 18-0037. The expected outcomes are: environmental outcome: this infrastructure project will improve the water quality of water body ID 1623C - peace river above joshua creek, a class 3 freshwater. This water body is not achieving standards currently.
