Success story: The City of Crystal River Florida of Citrus County, project for Three Sisters Spring Site – This project will construct a 44-foot wide entranceway to Three Sister Spring site at the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The roadway cross section will have two lanes heading out of the refuge and one lane heading into the refuge with an 8-foot median in the middle. A 5-foot by 7-foot precast box culvert with concrete end walls, curbs and gutters, and a sidewalk for the entranceway. Native species will be planted for landscaping and the roadway will be sloped toward a bios wale. The Crystal River NWR was established specifically to protect the endangered West Indian Manatee, for a population of nearly 600 manatees as this is there primary habitat and safe haven during winter months. The refuge attracts 100,000 visitors annually to see and swim with manatees, and manatee viewing opportunities are predominantly only available from the water. Other recreational opportunities are sport fishing, snorkeling, motorized and non motorized boating, wildlife observation and nature photography. Existing administrativ

FLAP Project Selection Process

Each FLAP project was selected from a pool of applications submitted by the facility owner in response to a state-wide call for projects. The applications were screened, rated, and ranked using PDC approved rating criteria. The PDC unanimously agreed which projects met the established State program goals and conformed with the project ranking criteria contained in the “Call for Projects SOP”. Based upon these evaluations, the proposed projects were recommended for programming within the available funding for each state. Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) were coordinated and executed for each programmed project prior to obligation of FLAP funds. There was 2 calls for projects. The first call for projects was from September 1, 2013 until December 2, 2013 and the second from March 19, 2014 until May 21, 2014. The calls for projects generated 8 applications totaling $6,321,767 funds requested.
