Task 2 will include a master basin study to determine other basin combinations to create single outfalls including baffle boxes to all 15 outfalls. Task 3 will include the design and permitting of sediment and nutrient reduction structures for 4 outfalls located in unincorporated Bay County. Consideration will be given to only those firms that are qualified pursuant to law. This project is federally funded.
