US 98 Multiuse Path (from CR 372 to Tower Road) [439926-2]

US 98 Multiuse Path (from CR 372 to Tower Road) / FPID 439926-2 / St. Marks Watershed / Wakulla County

This project consists of construction of a multiuse path adjacent to US 98 in Wakulla County. Total wetland impacts are currently estimated at 3.048 acres (2.156 acres of palustrine wetlands; 0.892 acres of estuarine wetlands). Mitigation for palustrine impacts is anticipated to consist of FDOT purchase of credits from a private mitigation bank. Type-for-type mitigation may be required by permitters for the estuarine impacts (estimated 0.65 UMAM functional loss). If necessary for this road project to move forward, the District will develop an estuarine mitigation project. Options at Mashes Sands County Park and Ochlockonee River State Park in Wakulla County are being investigated.
