NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: 

1. A description of each activity, including the need, purpose, objective(s), milestones and location. Include map showing the 

location of each activity. 

As an update to Santa Rosa County’s initial RESTORE Multi-year Implementation Plan (MYIP), accepted by Treasury on 5/16/2017, 

and first Amended on 9/16/2019, the County proposes the following amendments: 

Project dates revised for the following projects: 

#1 Dirt Road Paving Districts 1,4,5 

#2 Driftwood, Navy Cove, Berry Stormwater Improvements 

#4 Eufala Outfall Treatment 

#5 Yellow River Marsh Preserve State Park 

#6 Navarre Park Water Quality Enhancement Project 

#7 Rattlesnake Bluff Road Sedimentation Reduction Project 

#12 Blackwater Heritage State Trail Infrastructure Improvements 

Addition of the following new projects: 

#15 Tiger Point Wastewater Treatment & Reclamation Facility Expansion 

This project includes upgrades of the Tiger Point Wastewater Treatment & Reclamation Facility from a 2.0 millions gallons per day 

(MGD) to a 3.5 MGD facility. The upgrade will provide the needed infrastructure to increase capacity for planned septic abatement 

and regional reclaimed & reuse water access throughout the Southern region of Santa Rosa County 

Need: The South Santa Rosa Utility System operates the Tiger Point Wastewater Treatment facility. The facility serves both the City 

of Gulf Breeze as well as residents and businesses in unincorporated Santa Rosa County. Since 2017, the facility has had 3 month 

average annual flows that are near or exceeds capacity necessitating an upgrade to support usage and population growth in Santa 

Rosa County. The upgrade is also necessary to support planned septic to sewer conversions for over 1500 residents within city 

limits as part of the Septic Tank Elimination Program (STEP) as well as future conversions within the utility’s service area in the 

county. 

Purpose: The purpose is to construct the necessary upgrades to the wastewater treatment facility. 

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The 

valid OMB control number for this information collection is 1505-0250. Comments concerning the time required to complete this information collection, including the 

time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information, should 

be directed to the Department of the Treasury, Office of Gulf Coast Restoration, 1500 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC20220. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Objective: The objective is to increase the capacity of the Tiger Point Wastewater Treatment Facility in order to support increased 

demand, population growth and planned septic abatement. 

Milestones include: permitting, procurement of contractor, construction completion. 

#16 North Santa Rosa Wastewater Treatment Facility – Phase II 

This project consists of a planned construction phase for a new wastewater treatment plant that includes the construction of a 

force main pipeline that will run from the new treatment facility, northward to the Rapid Infiltration Basins north of NAS Whiting 

Field. The project would serve the Northern region of Santa Rosa County. Service areas include the City of Milton, the areas of 

Berryhill, East Milton, NAS Whiting Field, and all industrial parks and economic development site acreage currently available within 

the county. 

Need: A new wastewater treatment plant is critical infrastructure necessary to support economic growth and reduce effluent 

discharge in the Blackwater River. The County’s population and household count has increased at a 15% growth rate from 2010 to 

2017. This population growth as well as the expansion of the industrial corridor within the County strains the limits of the capacity 

of the current facility located in the City of Milton. A new plant would not only serve current and future residents, it would serve 

areas proposed for future economic development, including Whiting Aviation Park and parcels along the I-10 corridor. In addition, 

the current facility is permitted for a maximum discharge capacity of 2.5 MGD, which at maximum capacity experiences overflow 

that contributes to non-point source pollution in the Blackwater River. The construction of a new wastewater treatment plant 

would prevent potential overflow and reduce pollution in the Blackwater River. 

Objective: The objective of this project is to construct needed infrastructure to support current and predicted Wastewater 

treatment demand and to remove the effluent discharge in the Blackwater River. 

Milestones: Permitting, procurement of contractor, construction completion. 

2. How the applicant made the multiyear plan available for 45 days for public review and comment, in a manner calculated to 

obtain broad-based participation from individuals, businesses, Indian tribes, and non-profit organizations, such as through public 

meetings, presentations in languages other than English, and postings on the Internet. The applicant will need to submit 

documentation (e.g., a copy of public notices) to demonstrate that it made its multiyear plan available to the public for at least 45 

days. In addition, describe how each activity in the multiyear plan was approved after consideration of all meaningful input from the 

public and submit documentation (e.g., a letter from the applicant's leadership approving submission of the multiyear plan to 

Treasury or a resolution approving the applicant's multiyear plan). 

On Sept 23, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved the commencement of Amendment #2 of the MYIP to 

include new projects. Public participation and comments were welcomed over a 12th month (Sept 2019 – Sept 2020) community 

engagement process. Opportunities for input included staff meetings with municipalities, two public input meetings in the north 

and south end of the county, publicly noticed Local RESTORE Council meetings and Board of County Commissioner meetings, as well 

as the required 45-day public comment period. 

The timeline for the Amendment #2 process is as follows: 

September 2019 – BOCC commencement of the Amendment #2 process to include new projects 

September-November 2019 – Staff meeting with municipalities 

November-December 2019 – Two public update and input meetings held 

January 19, 2020 – 1st Local RESTORE Council meeting: Introduction of proposed projects identified by municipal leaders; identify 

priority considerations 

May 19, 2020 – 2nd Local RESTORE Council meeting: Project presentations, evaluation of criteria and prioritization ranking began 

June 23, 2020 – 3rd Local RESTORE Council meeting: Report of results, staff follow up/analysis; selection of recommended projects 

for consideration 

July 9, 2020 – BOCC Regular Meeting – Board approved two projects to be included in MYIP Amendment #2 draft. 

July-September 2020 – Drafting of MYIP Amendment #2 and 45-day public comment period 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October-November 2020 – Submission to U.S. Treasury for review 

During the June 23, 2020 Local RESTORE Council meeting, members selected (with public input) three new projects for 

recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to include in the MYIP Amendment #2 draft. During the July 9, 2020 Board 

of County Commissioners Regular public meeting, the Board approved two projects to be included in the MYIP Amendment #2 to 

be drafted for a 45-day public comment and review. 

Throughout the process, discussions highlighted previously identified priorities which included water quality, infrastructure, habitat 

restoration and land acquisition for conservation. Water quality improvements was identified as the most important focus area by 

community members, the Local RESTORE Council (LRC) and the BOCC. The LRC, consisting of 11 appointed members representative 

of County regions and municipalities, were charged to consider public input, evaluate, prioritize, and recommend projects for MYIP 

inclusion to the Board of County Commissioners. Evaluation guidelines included RESTORE criteria eligibility, regional impact, 

leveraged funding and legacy opportunity. The two new projects proposed in this amendment addresses the County’s priority to 

improve water quality--consistent with the overall public sentiment through the LRC-- by removing treated effluent from the 

Blackwater River and increasing the capacity of the Tiger Point Wastewater Facility for septic abatement and effluent reuse. 

During the public participation meetings (LRC), attendees voiced the need to prioritize water quality. There was no public challenge 

that the most critical priority is to remove the effluent discharge and wastewater from directly entering the Blackwater River and 

Santa Rosa Sound. Prior to the 45-day public comment period, five comments were electronically submitted as part of the LRC 

meeting for consideration. One comment was in support of the North Santa Rosa Wastewater Treatment Facility, one comment 

emphasized the need for more stormwater projects, two advocated for land acquisition projects, and one introduced the need for a 

recreational swimming pool. In addition, several Local RESTORE Council members received direct emails in support of both the Tiger 

Point Wastewater Treatment Facility Improvements and the North Sant Rosa Wastewater Treatment Facility. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Local RESTORE Council considered the public input and further evaluated the proposed new projects as the most impactful in 

improving water quality for future generations in Santa Rosa County. On June 23, 2020, the LRC selected three new project 

recommendations to the BOCC for MYIP Amendment #2 inclusion. During the July 9, 2020 Board of County Commissioners Regular 

meeting, the Board approved two projects to be included in the MYIP Amendment #2 draft for the required 45-day public 

comment. The third project was retracted from consideration and is being considered for further RESTORE Spill Component 

funding. During the 45-day public comment period, two additional comments were received. One proposed additional stormwater 

projects in a specific subdivision and one that advocated for prioritizing water quality overall. 

Both the Local RESTORE Council and the Board of County Commissioners validates the importance of the comments submitted for 

future water quality projects that include stormwater treatment and other habitat restoration and conservation initiatives. It is the 

intention of the County to further consider such project ideas in future MYIP amendments. 

The County Public Information Officer issued two press releases notifying local media and social media outlets about the 

amendment and the opportunities to provide public comment during the review period. The Amendment was made available on 

the County website RESTORE page and the County Grants Department office for public comment and review. Input could be 

provided through email or written form. Notices were also advertised in the Santa Rosa Press Gazette, Navarre Press and the Gulf 

Breeze News. 

3. How each activity included in the applicant's multiyear plan narrative meets all the requirements under the RESTORE Act, 

including a description of how each activity is eligible for funding based on the geographic location of each activity and how each 

activity qualifies for at least one of the eligible activities under the RESTORE Act. 

.Each of the proposed new activities are located in the Gulf Coast Region and will carry out one or more of the eligible activities as 

defined by the RESTORE Act 

This Amendment #2 proposes two projects meeting the following eligible activity: 

Infrastructure projects benefitting the economy or ecological resources, including port infrastructure: 

#15 Tiger Point Wastewater Treatment & Reclamation Facility Expansion 

This project includes upgrades of the Tiger Point Wastewater Treatment & Reclamation Facility from a 2.0 MGD to a 3.5 MGD 

facility. The upgrade will provide the needed infrastructure to increase capacity for planned septic abatement and regional 

reclaimed & reuse water access throughout the Southern region of Santa Rosa County 

#16 North Santa Rosa Wastewater Treatment Facility - Phase II 

This project consists of a planned construction phase that includes the construction of a force-main pipeline to a Rapid Infiltration 

Basin system (RIB’s) for a new wastewater treatment plant servicing the Northern region of Santa Rosa County. Service areas 

include the City of Milton, the areas of Berryhill, East Milton, NAS Whiting Field, and all industrial parks and economic development 

site acreage currently available within the county. A new plant would not only serve current and future residents, it would serve 

areas proposed for future economic development purposes. The construction of a new wastewater treatment plant would remove 

up to 2.5M gallons per day of effluent being discharged from the existing facility to a planned land site. 

4. Criteria the applicant will use to evaluate the success of the activities included in the multiyear plan narrative in helping to restore 

and protect the Gulf Coast Region impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. 

The following criteria will be used to measure the success of the proposed projects: 

#15 Tiger Point Wastewater Treatment & Reclamation Facility Expansion 

--Increased capacity of the treatment facility.

lessons learned and the prioritization of legacy projects with leveraged funding. Staff was directed to reach out to municipalities to 

identify project priorities for consideration by the Local RESTORE Council and the Board of County Commissioners. 

The Local RESTORE Council was engaged to evaluate and prioritize new projects for consideration by the BOCC as part of the vetting 

process. The LRC met three times (1/14, 5/19 and 6/23) to complete the prioritization. All meetings were publicly noticed and 

open to the public for in-person and remote attendance/viewing. The process included discussion and identification of priority 

considerations and eligibility, introduction of the projects proposed by municipalities, planned presentations by respective 

jurisdiction representatives, evaluations and rankings by Local RESTORE Council members, clarifications and questions by LRC 

members, and additional information gathered from staff follow-up. Public input was welcome throughout the entire process 

through public input forms and during the public meetings. 

Key factors/criteria used to establish priorities included: 

• Meeting RESTORE eligibility requirements: 

• Organizational capacity to meet application requirements (i.e. a completed sub-recipient risk assessment, proof of internal 

financial and procurement controls, single audit documentation, best available science documentation, identified risks and 

mitigation plan, estimated useful life, site control/real property documentation and maintenance plans. 

• Environmental need and Impact (How does this project impact the environment? Has the project sponsor reviewed the planned 

scope of work in relation to any federal environmental laws that may apply? Have any environmental consultations or reviews been 

conducted? 

• Leveraged funding – Are there other funds officially committed to this project? Is there a timeline for when committed funds are 

accessible? Are there other pending funding requests? 

• Planned timing – When is the planned project start date for the proposed project funding? If the proposed project is part of a 

larger plan, what is the overall project timeline? 

• Shovel readiness – What planning efforts have already been completed or implemented for this project? Will the project be 

“ready to go” if funding becomes available? What permits, easement acquisitions, site surveys, plans, studies have been 

completed? What actions or tasks still need to be completed? 

• Legacy project – Does the project make a sustainable impact on Santa Rosa County’s environment, infrastructure and economy? 

Who will benefit from this project? 

• Historical efforts- Describe historical efforts to initiate, fund or complete the project. How long has the jurisdiction been planning 

and pursuing funding for this project? 

• Risk mitigation planning - If this project does not receive RESTORE funding and other planned funding, what are the project 

implications? Are there alternative funding and timeline plans? 

An evaluation and prioritization ranking form was completed and submitted by Local RESTORE Council members. Three projects 

were selected by the LRC for further consideration by the BOCC. 

6. If applicable, describe the amount and current status of funding from other sources (e.g., other RESTORE Act contribution, other 

third party contribution) and provide a description of the specific portion of the project to be funded by the RESTORE Act Direct 

Component. 

#15 Tiger Point Wastewater Treatment & Reclamation Facility Expansion- The total anticipated cost of the upgrade and 

expansion project for the Tiger Point Facility is $25,600,000. The planned subrecipient for this project intends to contribute 

$19,600,000. which is expected to be secured through a State Revolving Fund loan. The direct component allocation would be 

applied to the construction phase of the total project. 

#16 North Santa Rosa Wastewater Treatment Facility -Phase II – The total anticipated cost for this Phase of the project is 

approximately $7, 083,725. Third party contributions include a $500,000 Florida Legislative allocation (2019) and $83, 725 from the 

City of Milton dedicated reserves. The direct component allocation would be applied toward the construction phase of the forcemain pipeline.
