Agenda 02/22/2022 Item #16A12 (Floodplain Management Plan Progress Report)02/22/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the Collier County Floodplain Management Plan 2020 and 2021
Progress Report and Proposed Action Plan for 2022.
OBJECTIVE: To provide the Board of County Commissioners with a Progress Report on the Collier
County Floodplain Management Plan that was developed as a requirement of the County’s participation
in the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System. Staff is providing this annual
report to keep the Board informed of progress with regards to the floodplain management program within
the County.
CONSIDERATIONS:
2020 and 2021 Progress Report and Proposed Action Plans for 2022
Collier County is a voluntary participant in the Community Rating System (CRS) of the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). As such, the County has developed and maintains a Floodplain Management
Plan. The purpose of a Floodplain Management Plan is to promote awareness of floodplain and flooding
issues, identify known flood hazards, discuss past flooding events, assess the current floodplain/flooding
problems, and set goals along with a strategy to make the community more resistant to flooding.
The County adopted its effective Floodplain Management Plan on March 10, 2015. The Plan was
developed by a consultant under the guidance of the Floodplain Management Planning Committee
(FMPC) and was adopted as a component of the Local Mitigation Strategy. The FMPC established the
mitigation actions to be implemented by the County following FEMA prioritization method, that resulted
in a total of 22 actions. Staff is planning to update the Floodplain Management Plan in 2023, once the
latest Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps are adopted.
Collier County achieved a Community Rating System Class 5 rating in October 2015, which provides up
to a 25 percent discount on the premium rates charged to flood insurance policyholders. Because of this
rating, Collier County policyholders continue to save greater than $8.2 million annually for approximately
60,000 flood insurance policy holders throughout the County. As a part of the County’s annual
Community Rating System recertification, the County is required to provide a Progress Report on the
accomplishments of goals in the Floodplain Management Plan.
The Collier County Floodplain Management Plan 2020 and 2021 Progress Report illustrates the progress
made toward fulfilling the 2020 and 2021 Mitigation Action Items which were derived from the goals,
objectives, and policies of the effective Floodplain Management Plan. Please see Attachments A an d B
for details regarding the progress made in achieving each mitigation action item. The progress report
historically has been reviewed by the Floodplain Management Planning Committee in the 2nd quarter of
the year. However, due to CRS verification activities and the recertification cycle modifications, the
Progress Report review was conducted in the 4th quarter of 2021. There are no changes to the proposed
Action Plan for 2022. Please see Attachment C for the proposed Action Plan for 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are no general fund fiscal impacts associated with this action.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no adverse growth management impact associated

Management Plan 2020 and 2021 Progress Report; exhibits Attachment A and Attachment B 2) approves

1st Quarter 2021:
Golden Gate City Stormwater Management Improvement:
Currently, Stormwater Management is beginning work on the replacement of Stormwater
outfalls. There are 130+ outfalls throughout Golden Gate City that have reached the end of
their useful life and their replacement is critical to the functionality of the system, and are an
important element to the overall plan for the Utilities Renewal and Stormwater
Project. Additionally WQ and bottom sediment pollutant evaluation is underway within the
approximately 5 miles of existing canals which discharge into the Gordon River and Naples
Bay.

West Goodlette Rd Area Stormwater Management Improvement:
Phase 1 is continuing through construction. Phase 2 design contract award is scheduled for
consideration by the City of Naples in November. Phase 2 includes the conversion of over 900
septic systems to sanitary sewer. Construction schedule and phasing will be established
during the design process.
Immokalee Area Stormwater Management Improvement:
A design consultant has been selected for prioritized the Lake Trafford Road project, including
Stormwater Treatment Areas, and award of the contract is currently scheduled for
December. Two other projects in Immokalee have been awarded CDBG funds and moving
forward to construction. (North 3rd Street and Eden Gardens)

3rd Quarter 2021:
Golden Gate City Stormwater Management Improvement:
Stormwater Management is beginning work on the replacement of Stormwater outfalls. There
are 130+ outfalls throughout Golden Gate City that have reached the end of their useful life
and their replacement is critical to the functionality of the system and are an important
element to the overall plan for the Utilities Renewal and Stormwater Project. Additionally,
Cardno Inc. is conducting WQ monitoring in specific parts of GGC for groundwater and
surface water.
The most critical 42 of the 137 total outfalls are slated to be replaced first. Out of that 42,
design efforts for the 15 worst have been started (Work Order with AIM Engineering in place)
since they were so out of repair that they can possibly be deemed as hazardous. This batch of
15 will be continued as part of the 5-year work plan.
Recently it was determined that Utilities Dept is designing four phases of large Water Mains to
go in Golden Gate City; some of these will conflict with Stormwater pipes. Thus, the County is
currently in the process of creating a partnership with the Project Managers working on these
Water pipes.

Naples Park Area Stormwater Management Improvement:
Currently Under construction: 108th and 109th Ave; Currently Under Design: 98th, 99th, 105th
and 106th Ave.; Next Scheduled Designs: TBD.
West Goodlette Rd Area Stormwater Management Improvement:
Phase 1 is still in the construction phase, but the project has been stalled by the
Contractor. The potable water and sanitary sewer components have been put into service and
the City of Naples has a separate contractor making sewer connections to homes. The
stormwater facilities are functional but there are several locations needing corrective action.
The final lift of asphalt has been installed for all streets.
Phase 2 is a much larger project and is in active design by the joint team of Grady Minor and
Johnson Engineering. They have divided the project into separate areas for each firm to
handle the design of water, sewer, stormwater and road reconstruction. Each firm will then
conduct a quality review of the other firm’s work. 30% deliverables are scheduled for late
December 2021. The construction schedule and phasing will be established during the design
process.
Immokalee Area Stormwater Management Improvement:
The design of the two stormwater treatments areas near the west end of Lake Trafford Road
are in active design and engineering design consultant is GHD Services, Inc.
Phase 1:
The design of the stormwater treatment facility adjacent to the junction of Carson Road and
Immokalee Drive is nearly complete and the plans are in permit review by the South Florida
Water Management District. This phase is nearing the start of the construction bidding
process.
Phase 2:
The design of the multi-use pathway along the north side of Lake Trafford Road from Little
League Road to Tippins Terrace is just starting the active design with some preliminary data
collection having already been obtained. This Phase 2 design is to include enclosing the
existing ditch along the north side of Lake Trafford Road to make room for the multi-use
pathway and a stormwater treatment area on the south side of Lake Trafford Road a short
distance west of Tippins Terrace.
