Lawne Lake Water Quality Improvement Project
Orlando, FL
The CPWG Team approached the Lawne Lake project with the intended purpose of preserving and enhancing the native ecology of the park. The new facility design included new public information kiosks, exotic vegetation removal and native vegetation restoration, water quality treatment, as well as erosion and sedimentation control recommendations. Monitoring stations were installed to evaluate flow, water quality efficiency and effectiveness of the constructed RSF treatment and provide the public real-time, on-site information.
The CPWG Engineering water quality improvement project included the design and permitting of passive regional stormwater facility (RSF) within Barnett Park prior to its discharge to Lawne Lake (a Florida Impaired Waterbody). The design involved the modification of the C-6 canal to store additional stormwater runoff for pollutant abatement and reduce upstream flooding. A solar powered irrigation system uses the stored water to irrigate the BMX track and multi-use sport fields.
