Based on the results of the Site Investigation and Design Evaluation Report, completed under TWA No. 21TW0003649, the SWFWMD has determined that the existing toe drain system on the northside and southside of spillway will be replaced in order to increase the toe drain efficiency. Existing toe drain system comprises of 6-inch to 12-inch perforated clay and PVC pipes connected at various manholes. The Edward Medard Park & Reservoir (Park & Reservoir) is in east-central Hillsborough County, Florida, 15 miles east of Tampa. The Park & Reservoir lies south of State Highway 60 in portions of Sections 25, and 36 of Township 29 South, Range 21 East and Section 30, Township 29 South, Range 22 East, and is bordered on the west by Turkey Creek Road. The property encompasses 1,287 acres and can be divided into 2 components: Medard Park and Medard Reservoir. Land uses surrounding the Park & Reservoir include agriculture, old mined lands, and rural residential areas. Most of the lands comprising the Park & Reservoir were donated to SWFWMD by the American Cyanamid Company (ACC) in 1969. Approximate of 1,160 acres of site were mined for phosphate ore between 1963 and 1969 by ACC, who had approached SWFWMD to propose the future land donation prior to initiating mining operations on the current reservoir site. SWFWMD determined that the proposal was consistent with water management plans for the Alafia River Basin and agreed to cooperatively develop the reservoir for flood control, water conservation, and public recreation. Originally the Park & Reservoir site was called Pleasant Grove Park and Reservoir, although some historic documents list the name of the Park & Reservoir site as Lake Sucarnoochee. The Park & Reservoir site was renamed in 1977 in honor of a District governing board member, Mr. Edward Medard, who was instrumental in initiating the project (SWFWMD, 1991).
