State wrestles with runoff plan for Destin highway
DOT and DER remain at an impasse over how to keep stormwater from the new four lane Highway 98 in Destin from harming Old Pass Lagoon. DER requires an environmental benefit for projects affecting the lagoon, prompting redesigns of the drainage and outlet at Sandpiper Cove and around the DWU percolation ponds. Both agencies plan further meetings after engineers finalize alternative drainage options for the relocated highway segment.
