- Current Amount: $1,520,694; Proposed Increase: $549,117; Revised Amount: $2,069,811

Description: In early 2017, the St. Johns River Water Management District, in partnership with the Indian River Lagoon Council, completed the IRL Stormwater Capture and Treatment Project Development and Feasibility Study to identify the next generation of large, high-benefit projects to improve the water quality of the IRL. The Crane Creek / M-1 Flow Restoration Project was among the top ranked projects evaluated in the study due to its relatively low cost per pound of nutrients removed, and alternative water supply benefit to the St. Johns River.
The M-1 Canal is a century old, man-made flood control feature that cuts through the coastal ridge with the result of diverting stormwater flow from approximately 5,300 acres of the historic St. Johns River basin to the IRL. Once completed, the stormwater baseflow will be re-routed back to the west and treated in a constructed stormwater treatment area (STA) that will reduce nutrient concentrations prior to reaching the St. Johns River.
