DEP Helps Fund the Palm Bay Turkey Creek Water Quality Baffle Box Project

Groundbreaking for City of Palm Bay Turkey Creek Baffle Box Project:

DEP's Division of Water Restoration Assistance is providing $1.2 million in a legislative appropriation grant for the project to expand Palm Bay's restoration efforts of Turkey Creek, a tributary of the Indian River Lagoon. An ongoing feasibility study recommended construction of baffle boxes at five locations in the Turkey Creek Basin to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous outputs.
