Scope
Alligator Creek is actually a 40-foot wide, 15-foot deep canal cut through the City of Starke and outlying areas through a former stream and floodplain system that discharges to Lake Rowell. The District retained BCI's services to help restore this system to a more naturally functional stream and to stabilize its failing banks.
BCI's services included:
-
Stream assessment using a Channel Evolution Model
-
Preliminary natural channel design
-
Preliminary bank stabilization design
-
GIS mapping
-
Construction cost estimates
-
Public presentations and support materials
