STONECROP PROJECT UPDATES

The City of Sebastian proposes drainage improvements in the Stonecrop Drainage Watershed area along Stonecrop Street in Sebastian, FL 32958. The proposed project shall improve the drainage capacity of a municipal service canal in the Stonecrop Watershed area and include earthwork necessary to re-slope canal banks, removal of vegetation, and installation of an Armorflex articulating concrete block revetment system. The existing storm piping under Laconia Street will be replaced by a precast bridge system. All work will tie back to existing grade and restore any damaged infrastructure. The final discharge point for the improved canal remains the same, initially the stormwater pond west of Stonecrop Street and ultimately the south prong of the St. Sebastian River / Indian River Lagoon. This proposal will serve to provide improved hydraulic capacity and protection of canal banks, structural foundations, and other property improvements. The project shall provide protection against a 100-year storm event. Activities will be completed in strict compliance with Federal, State and Local applicable Rules and Regulations.

All work falls under a FEMA funded Hazard Mitigation Grant cost share grant.  The project is 75% federally funded, and 25% is funded by the City of Sebastian.
