DeSoto Ditch is located between Deep Creek and Harbor Heights and runs north-south.Latest Updates
The Army Corp of Engineering permit application was submitted on May 12, 2022. ACOE replyed with an RAI on May 24. A response to the RAI was submitted on June 9. Staff met with the ACOE onsite and discussed how the work will be done. That decision still needs to be made. Once a methodology is decided upon, it will determine if further permitting is required.
ACOE will grant an exemption if all work is done by hand. A pre-application meeting was held with FDEP. They requested that we submit an application for exemption. That application is being prepared now.
This project is now on hold. Once the hurricane projects have been addressed, staff will revisit this project to determine if it needs to go forward.
