Volusia County is inviting public comment on a proposed stormwater improvement project in South Daytona.

The project includes stabilization of approximately 1.27 miles of the Stevens Canal through installation of vertical sheet piling along canal banks, along with upgraded drainage structures, backflow preventers, and roadway crossing improvements. These improvements are designed to increase stormwater conveyance capacity, reduce flooding, and improve long-term resilience during severe weather events.

Because the project is located within the 100-year floodplain and riverine wetland habitat, an environmental review is required under federal regulations, including guidelines from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Public comments are encouraged, including suggestions for alternative methods to achieve the project’s purpose or ways to minimize environmental impacts.

Written comments will be accepted through May 15, 2026.
