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. 

This MYP amendment is an update to Pasco County’s RESTORE Act Multiyear Implementation Plan (MYIP) Amendment Number 2 

which was accepted by Treasury on 10/4/2018. This amendment adds one project to the county’s MYIP, the Key Vista Shoreline 

Stabilization Project located at the Key Vista Nature Park which is owned by Pasco County. 

The Key Vista Shoreline Stabilization Project’s primary purpose is infrastructure benefitting the economy and ecological resources. 

The project consists of three activities, shoreline stabilization, improved water flow through dredging, and park improvements to 

the Pasco County Key Vista park. The project will stabilize the banks along Rocky Creek, improve access to the trails in that area, 

improve the shoreline kayak launch, and dredge material from the creek that has accumulated due to erosion of the shoreline to 

improve water flow into and out of the Sleepy Lagoon Bayou. It will also add a couple of amenities to the shoreline for the public to 

use such as observation piers and improved trails. 

Need: 

This project is needed to improve the environment and infrastructure around the Rocky Creek area. The projects will be an ongoing 

effort to restore the flow of water via dredge to and from Sleepy Lagoon as well as to prevent future issues from occurring. The 

bank continues to erode and fill in the channel. The current kayak launch area is in poor condition and will be improved to allow a 

better facility for the public as well as to limit the erosion already occurring. Amenities along the creek will allow access to the creek 

while stopping or limiting the breakdown of the bankside. 

Purpose: 

The purpose of the project is to improve bayou flow, stabilize the shoreline and provide park improvement over a four year period. 

Project Objectives: Plan of Action and Milestones Associated with the Project 

Timeline Proposed Date 

1. Stabilize the Shoreline on the Park side of Rocky Creek. 

2. Dredge Rocky Creek as necessary to remove accumulated sediments. 

3. Improve the amenities on the trails near Rocky Creek.

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). 

The RESTORE Act Advisory Committee met in public forum on August 16, 2018 and recommended the Key Vista Shoreline 

Stabilization Project be funded for the amount of $500,000.00. This recommendation was taken to the Pasco County Board of 

County Commissioners in public forum on September 17, 2018 who unanimously approved the recommendation and directed staff 

to prepare an MYIP addendum for public comment and submittal. 

The MYIP amendment No. 2 was reviewed and approved for release to solicit public comment in public forum by the Board of 

County Commissioners on April 8, 2019. 

The MYIP amendment No. 2, matrix and narrative and map, was released to the public and published on the Pasco County website 

on April 8, 2019. Key stakeholders in the project were notified by email as well. 

Each activity in the Multiyear plan was approved after consideration of all meaningful input from the public. 

Public comment feedback for this Key Vista Shoreline Stabilization Project Amendment was collected and reviewed from April 9, 

2019 until June 9, 2019. Public comment was reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners in public forum on June 19, 2019. A 

total of 12 comments were received in favor of the project. All comments received highlighted the need to stabilize the shoreline as 

public access to the creek may have contributed to the erosion issues. The Board voted unanimously to submit the MYIP 

Amendment #2 to Treasury for consideration. 

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. 

This project meets the following goal of the RESTORE Act -

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

Key Vista Nature Park is a County Park located along the Gulf of Mexico in the southern part of the County. The park was acquired in 

partnership with the State via the Florida Communities Trust Program. The State has been contacted concerning this project and 

supports it. 

The purpose of this project is to provide infrastructure to the park by stabilizing the shoreline of the northern border of Key Vista 

Nature Park, dredging the channel in areas to reestablish flushing water flow to Sleepy Lagoon, improve the amenities along Rocky 

Creek such as improving the kayak launch, provide public access via observation decks and to improve the trails along the northern 

border of the park. This will benefit the ecological resources and functions in Sleepy Lagoon and improve the public enjoyment of 

the park. 

Improving the amenities in the park such as the boat launch area, trail, public access, etc. will be an economic benefit for the 

county. 

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. 

Success will be measured by increasing the flow in and out of Sleepy Lagoon, by stabilizing the shorelines and by improving the 

amenities of the park available to the public. 

5. How the activities included in the multiyear plan narrative were prioritized and list the criteria used to establish the priorities. 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

Pasco County formed a RESTORE Act Advisory Committee consisting of 9 volunteers from the public. The Committee meets in public 

forum to review and grade proposed projects that have been solicited from a wide variety of entities throughout the County. Using 

a score sheet based on RESTORE criteria, the highest ranking projects are reviewed and voted on. Projects selected for RESTORE 

funding are then recommended to the Board of County Commissioners for approval during a regularly scheduled meeting. All 

meetings are held in public. During review of the projects, additional sources of funding are also solicited to attempt to maximize 

the benefit from the project. Comments are collected and addressed throughout the process to ensure maximum participation 

throughout the project selection. All information related to RESTORE that is discussed is available via the County website. 

The Key Vista Shoreline Stabilization Project was presented to the RESTORE Act Advisory Committee by the staff in the Parks, 

Recreation and Natural Resources Department for consideration for RESTORE funding. The project was graded and ranked in 

priority as compared to other projects submitted. Based on grading, public interest, the status of funding higher ranking projects 

and the currently available funding under RESTORE Direct Component this project was selected by the Committee to be 

recommended for funding. The primary consideration for submittal was the eroding shoreline of the parks northern border along 

Rocky Creek. This is currently leading to sediment being deposited in the creek and a loss of property to the park itself. The 

RESTORE Act Advisory Committee voted to recommend funding the project in August of 2018. The Project and recommendation for 

approval was then taken to the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners in September of 2018. The Board approved the item 

in public session on September 20, 2018 and directed staff to prepare an MYP for release for public comment. On April 8, 2019 the 

Board approved release of the MYP for comment in public forum during its regularly scheduled meeting. The MYP addendum was 

published on the RESTORE webpage on the County website. Key stakeholders for the project were also notified via phone or email 

that the project was available for public review and comment. On June 19, 2019 the Board reviewed the public comments and 

approved submittal of the MYP addendum to Treasury for acceptance. This also was done in public forum. 

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. 

This project will utilize $500,000.00 in RESTORE funding. 

Primary functions such as shore stabilization and dredging of the canal will likely account for approximately $350,000.00 of that 

funding. The remaining $150,000.00 will be used to provide improved park amenities. These amounts are approximate estimates 

and may change based on the procurement process.
