 The South Florida Water Management District, in
conjunction with the U.S. Army corps of
Engineers, have undertaken the Headwaters
Revitalization Project. This project will revitalize
the Upper Kissimmee Basin by modifying the
flows to the Kissimmee River to be more
characteristic of historical discharge regimes.
The new regime will permit lake levels to
fluctuate over a wider range as a function of
rainfall and local inflows. One of the
subdivisions impacted by higher lake levels is
Hatchineha Estates located on the west side of
Lake Hatchineha. An impact evaluation report
identified sixty-one existing septic tanks in the
subdivision that will be impacted by high water
levels. The construction of a wastewater
collection system in Hatchineha Estates was
recommended to avoid impacting the septic tank
drainfields.

 Barnes, Ferland and Associates, Inc. (BFA) is
providing design, permitting, construction
management and public information/relations
services for the Holden Heights Infrastructure
improvements. The project consists of ±16
miles of gravity collection system, five (5) lift
station/force main facilities, 3 square mile
drainage basin, stormwater improvements and
road paving in the Holden Heights
neighborhood immediately adjacent to the City
of Orlando. The sanitary sewers will provide
service to approximately 2,000 commerical and
residental parcels currently serviced by septic
tanks. The project is required to alleviate
chronic drainfield failures and groundwater
and surface water bacterial contamination
which results in a public health hazard.
The stormwater improvements include the
conversion of open rural drainage facilities
(swales and ditches) with closed urban
drainage facilities (curb and gutter). Stormwater will be
routed to new retention
basin for treatment prior to discharge to Clear
Lake or drainage wells. |
