1. DESCRIPTION

Hogans Creek sub-basin contains 36 hydrologic units and 1 channel reach. It drains 3.1 square miles, is 1.7 miles long and has 11 major roadway crossings. The creek discharges into the St. Johns River (a designated American Heritage River). The project will improve the natural flow of the creek and create wetland areas in the creek’s basin. This restoration project will restore fish and wildlife habitat, and improve water quality by creating a greenway along the creek’s corridor. An increase in aquatic vegetation is expected, which would produce a food source and habitat for fish and wildlife within the Hogans Creek ecosystem. Section 206, of the 1996 Water Resources Development Act, authorizes this study.
