Contract Type FiledJune 28th, 2016 JurisdictionPublic Works and engineering consultant, CivilSurv Design Group, Inc., have completed the development of construction plans for the extension of Lakeland Park Drive to Carpenters Way. As a condition to the issuance of the Permits by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), Lakeland is required to compensate for wetland impacts, and we have elected to do so through the purchase of wetland Credits. The Corps and SWFWMD have determined that Lakeland shall be required to purchase a total of 1.25 State Forested Wetland Credits and 1.25 Corps Forested Wetland Credits due to the proposed impacts to wetlands resulting from the development of our roadway extension.
