Scope

BCI was selected by the City of Avon Park to develop a stormwater utility that would serve to fund their stormwater program and enable the city to comply with state and federal legislative mandates such as NPDES and TMDLs.  Immediately prior to this engagement, BCI was directed by the Southwest Florida Water Management District to develop a detailed citywide Stormwater Master Plan for the City of Avon Park. 

The plan was developed based on the Water Management District’s new guidelines and specifications for conducting watershed management plans.  These guidelines were developed jointly by FEMA and the SWFWMD and require rigorous quality control and a high degree of correspondence between the GIS database/mapping element and the associated hydrologic model parameterization and connectivity.
