SR 77 (from north of Sunny Hills Road to 1 mile south of Wausau) [217909-5]

SR 77 (Segment 5 from north of Sunny Hills Road to 1 mile south of Wausau) / FDOT FPID 217909-5 / Choctawhatchee River and Bay Watershed / Washington County

Widening of SR 77 from north of Sunny Hills Road to 1 mile south of Wausau (FPID 217909-5) directly impacts an estimated 5.02 acres of jurisdictional wetlands.  Mitigation is anticipated to primarily consist of FDOT purchase of palustrine forested credits from the Nokuse Plantation Mitigation Bank.  If necessary to avoid project delays, palustrine emergent or other credit types may also be obtained from the Sand Hill Lakes Mitigation Bank.  The NWFWMD mitigation program established under section 373.4137, Florida Statutes, provides mitigation options to FDOT only when use of a private mitigation bank is not feasible.
