Project Overview
The District Lagoon 2 Perimeter Berm Flood Resilience maintenance project will increase the perimeter berm elevation surrounding Lagoon 2 (eastern half of the Lagoon site) to provide greater flood resiliency from the adjacent Nine Springs Creek (south and east perimeter) and the unnamed tributary (north perimeter).
Public Impacts
Access to the lagoon perimeter will be impacted during construction activities. Construction is planning to occur outside of the increased bird activity seasons in the Wildlife Observation Area.
Public Involvement
Project requirements and considerations are being coordinated with local government agencies and key stakeholders. Two public information meetings (dates TBD) will be held to engage key stakeholders and the local community on the project status in quarter four of 2025 and quarter one of 2026 to present construction schedules, safety considerations and other important information and resources prior to construction commencing.
Stakeholder Group Engagements
Previous stakeholder group engagements focused on project goals, public considerations and requirements. Feedback was provided from stakeholders including but not limited to: birdwatching activities, environmental considerations, bird activity seasons, access during construction and future informational signs.
