In June 2016 the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners voted to submit the project to the Gulf Consortium for the Florida State Expenditure Plan.
The Natural Resources Management Department has begun the process of data acquisition this week to support design and permitting required for the project. County staff are currently mapping the thickness and distribution of the soft sediments in the bayou. This information will be used to develop a statistically valid sediment sampling plan to determine how much of the soft sediment is actually contaminated and needs to be removed. A total of 400-500 data points are expected to be collected for this portion of the project. This initial survey should be completed over the next few weeks.
