Summary of Study Objectives
• Review Prior Studies• Identify Problem Areas• Develop and calibrate a Model for the South Lee
County area• Use model to identify flooding problems from Estero
south to Bonita Springs• Evaluate alternatives• Recommend strategy to increase flood flows to the
Estero River, Halfway Creek, and Spring Creek and reduce flows to the Imperial River

Additional Comments(personal opinions of Roger Copp)
• Additional storage is needed in the DR/GR area• Additional storage would be beneficial for a number of
purposes, including augmentation of public water supplies, holding back wet season flows for subsequent release during the dry season, and water quality treatment
• The area east of I-75 has historically been an area that experiences extended periods of flooding
• Realtors are normally quiet about how much flooding one can expect, so further development east of I-75 may result in more complaints to City Council
