The Report Card
You paid for restoration. Here is what you got.
What was promised. What was completed. What is underway. What remains. What it cost. And what the lagoon is doing now.
“In progress” can include projects in design, under contract or under construction. It does not mean all 92 have bulldozers on site.

Why hasn’t all the money been spent yet?
Engineering, permits, procurement, contracts and construction precede final payment. Expenditure is a lagging measure of infrastructure progress. A committed project is not the same thing as money sitting idle.

What has the completed work been designed to accomplish?
186,885
pounds of total nitrogen kept out each year
Modeled annual reduction associated with completed projects.
Modeled estimate · County dashboard · August 17, 2026156,728
pounds of one-time nitrogen removal
Counted separately because a one-time cleanup cannot be added to an annual rate.
Modeled estimate · one-time benefit415,803
additional pounds of total nitrogen per year
Modeled annual reduction expected when projects currently in progress are completed.
Projected from work in progress748,105
pounds of total nitrogen per year under the full plan
Modeled annual reduction if the currently adopted project plan is completed.
Projected estimate · full planTotal nitrogen means all forms of nitrogen entering the water. These numbers are engineering estimates of pollution prevented or removed, not pounds physically sampled from lagoon water. “Per year” is an annual estimate; one-time removal is counted separately.
