Veal Road Sediment Reduction Project

The Veal Road Sediment Reduction project is located in the Bear Creek- Deer Point Lake Watershed approximately 10 miles north of Panama City in Bay County, Florida (N30.334452 W85.437955). This project is funded in part by a Section 319 Nonpoint Source Management Program implementation grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through an agreement/contract with the Nonpoint Source Management Section of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

In addition, the project will include an addition of adequate roadside shoulders and swales for the treatment and conveyance of stormwater runoff.
