This is a CAD drawing file (AutoCAD .dwg format) related to the McIntosh Park Wetland Construction project, a 363-acre wetland restoration initiative undertaken by the City of Plant City, Florida. The drawing file, titled "additonal_Lidar_contours_Exp.dwg," appears to provide topographic and elevation data generated from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey information, likely depicting existing terrain contours and proposed site conditions for the wetland excavation and restoration work. This technical drawing supports the overall project design which includes excavation of wetlands across multiple cells, stacking of excavated soils on-site to create a 50-foot hill shaped like Florida, installation of reclaimed water piping infrastructure, and native wetland vegetation planting.
