Sweet Lake/Willow Lake Hydrologic Restoration
State Project Number: CS-11b
Project Priority List (PPL): 05
Federal Sponsor: Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
Project Type: Shoreline Protection
Construction Completion Date: 2001
Description:
The project objectives are to re-establish the shoreline (hydrologic boundary) between Sweet Lake and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), to reduce lake turbidity and tidal exchange, and to halt erosion and trap sediment needed to rebuild marsh along the northern and northwestern shorelines of Sweet Lake. This project includes construction of rock embankments on the GIWW to close off the lakes, vegetation plantings to reduce erosion, and construction of earthen terraces combined with vegetation plantings in open water areas to promote revegetation.
