Colt Creek State Park may be the beneficiary of wetlands mitigation work that is required for six Florida Department of Transportation projects in Sumter and Hernando counties, according to a report scheduled to be presented to the Southwest Florida Water Management District’s Governing Board Tuesday.
The agency will meet at its Tampa office.
This is part of a required annual report FDOT makes to the water management district.
The report also made it clear that its possible an approved private mitigation bank may be the ultimate beneficiary of the mitigation work if credits are available in the Withlacoochee River Basin.
Generally, the mitigation must occur in the basin in which the impacts occur.
