Debris Removal Work Begins in Dunedin Waterways
The City of Dunedin has started a Channel Debris Clearing Project to remove storm-related debris and vegetation from Curlew Creek, Jerry Branch and Cedar Creek. This work will help restore natural water flow, reduce local flooding risks and support the health of Dunedin’s waterways and surrounding ecosystems.
The work will continue for about six months. Crews from CrowderGulf Joint Ventures, Inc. will perform the debris removal, with Tetra Tech providing monitoring and documentation services.
The project will be completed in accordance with requirements from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, with anticipated funding through a grant from the agency's Emergency Watershed Protection Program.
