SUPPLY AND PLACE SOD ON C-54 CANAL BANKS (BREVARD COUNTY)

The District is regrading several miles of canal banks in the upper basin to rectify bank erosion, depressions and sloughing. The canal banks to be regraded are adjacent to the C-54 canal (see Figure 1 to Statement of Work for general location). During recent storm events, water levels rose and then quickly receded causing the embankments to slough. Much of the work is near CR-507 but will extend from CR-507 to the Fellsmere Grade Recreational Area on both sides of the C-54 canal. Stabilizing the slopes immediately after they have been regraded is necessary to maintain the overall integrity of the canal banks.
