The project required construction of five new adjustable water control structures and one fixed geoweb overflow structure. The structures were installed at existing roadway / drainage crossings within the Cross Bar Ranch Wellfield in order to restore natural drainage patterns, reduce downstream flooding, re-hydrate excessively drained wetlands, increase groundwater recharge, and improve water quality of stormwater prior to downstream release. All work performed was in accordance with the Southwest Florida WMD and ACOE permits, and required extensive coordination among Tampa Bay Water Authority, Pinellas County, and Southwest Florida WMD, all funding partners for the project.
