Item 5


Employee Recognition

The District's employees are its most valuable resource. We are pleased and proud that the average tenure of all employees at the District is 12 years and that we are able to retain such remarkable talent. Each year, many District employees reach significant longevity milestones in their service to the District and many reach momentous milestones, which make them eligible for retirement. The District as a whole, as well as each employee’s department, acknowledges and celebrates these milestones/retirements and the tremendous individual contributions they represent to the achievement of the District’s mission.

At the Governing Board meeting, Executive Director David Moore will make presentations to the Board for all employees who have achieved milestones of 20 years or greater and those retiring from the District, to specially acknowledge and commend the contributions of these individuals.

This item provides the Board with the opportunity to personally recognize and thank our dedicated employees who have reached five-year increments in service to the District and those employees who have completed at least 30 years of employment in the Florida Retirement System and are retiring from the District. We have twenty employees that have achieved longevity milestones and two retirees for the period of June 1 to July 31, 2008.

6. WETLAND MITIGATION SUCCESS CRITERIA MITIGATION AREA - Wetland Creation Area M-1, M-2 and M-3 - Totaling 2.65 acres

Mitigation is expected to offset adverse impacts to wetlands and other surface waters caused by regulated activities and to achieve viable, sustainable ecological and hydrological wetland functions. Wetlands constructed for mitigation purposes will be considered successful and will be released from monitoring and reporting requirements when the following criteria are met continuously for a period of at least one year without intervention in the form of irrigation or the additional or removal of vegetation.

a. The mitigation area can reasonably be expected to develop into a freshwater marsh (with minor forested component), as determined by the Florida Land Use and Cover and Forms Classification System (third edition; January 1999).

b. Topography, water depth and water level fluctuation in the mitigation area are characteristic of the wetlands/ surface water type specified in criterion "a".

12


c. Planted or recruited herbaceous or shrub species (or plant species providing the same function) shall meet the criteria specified:

ZONE PERCENT COVER SPECIESUpper 50 Laurel Oak

Upper/Middle 50 Red Maple 40 Cordgrass 20 Paspalum

Middle/Lower 20 Softrush 20 Maidencane

d. Species composition of recruiting wetland vegetation is indicative of the wetland type specified in criterion "a".

e. Coverage by nuisance or exotic species does not exceed 10 percent at any location in the mitigation site and 10 percent for the entire mitigation site.

f. The wetland mitigation area can be determined to be a wetland or other surface water according to Chapter 62-340, F.A.C.

This criterion must be achieved within five years of mitigation area construction. The Permittee shall complete any activities necessary to ensure the successful achievement of the mitigation requirements by the deadline specified. Any request for an extension of the deadline specified shall be accompanied with an explanation and submitted as a permit letter modification to the District for evaluation.

The mitigation area may be released from monitoring and reporting requirements and be deemed successful at any time during the monitoring period if the Permittee demonstrates that the conditions in the mitigation area have adequately replaced the wetland and surface water functions affected by the regulated activity and that the site conditions are sustainable.

7. The Permittee shall monitor and maintain the wetland mitigation areas until the criteria set forth in the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Conditions above are met. The Permittee shall perform corrective actions identified by the District if the District identifies a wetland mitigation deficiency.

8. The Permittee shall undertake required maintenance activities within the wetland mitigation areas as needed at any time between mitigation area construction and termination of monitoring, with the exception of the final year. Maintenance shall include the manual removal of all nuisance and exotic species, with sufficient frequency that their combined coverage at no time exceeds the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Conditions above. Herbicides shall not be used without the prior written approval of the District.

9. A Wetland Mitigation Completion Report shall be submitted to the District within 30 days of completing construction and planting of the wetland mitigation areas. Upon District inspection and approval of the mitigation areas, the monitoring program shall be initiated with the date of the District field inspection being the construction completion date of the mitigation areas. Monitoring events shall occur between March 1 and November 30 of each year. An Annual Wetland Monitoring Report shall be submitted upon the anniversary date of District approval to initiate monitoring.

Annual reports shall provide documentation that a sufficient number of maintenance inspection/activities were conducted to maintain the mitigation areas in compliance with the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Conditions above. Note that the performance of

13


maintenance inspections and maintenance activities will normally need to be conducted more frequently than the collection of other monitoring data to maintain the mitigation areas in compliance with the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Conditions above.

Monitoring Data shall be collected semi-annually.

10. Termination of monitoring for the wetland mitigation areas shall be coordinated with the District by:

a. notifying the District in writing when the criteria set forth in the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Conditions have been achieved;

b. suspending all maintenance activities in the wetland mitigation areas including, but not limited to, irrigation and addition or removal of vegetation; and

c. submitting a monitoring report to the District one year following the written notification and suspension of maintenance activities.

Upon receipt of the monitoring report, the District will evaluate the wetland mitigation sites to determine if the Mitigation Success Criteria Conditions have been met and maintained. The District will notify the Permittee in writing of the evaluation results. The Permittee shall perform corrective actions for any portions of the wetland mitigation areas that fail to maintain the criteria set forth in the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Conditions.

11. Following the District’s determination that the wetland mitigation has been successfully completed, the Permittee shall operate and maintain the wetland mitigation areas such that they remain in their current or intended condition for the life of the surface water management facility. The Permittee must perform corrective actions for any portions of the wetland mitigation areas where conditions no longer meet the criteria set forth in the Wetland Mitigation Success Criteria Conditions.

12. The Permittee shall commence construction of the mitigation areas within 30 days of wetland impacts, if wetland impacts occur between February 1 and August 31. If wetland impacts occur between September 1 and January 31, construction of the mitigation areas shall commence by March 1. In either case, construction of the mitigation areas shall be completed within 120 days of the commencement date unless a time extension is approved in writing by the District.

13. The construction of all wetland impacts and wetland mitigation shall be supervised by a qualified environmental scientist/specialist/consultant. The Permittee shall identify, in writing, the environmental professional retained for construction oversight prior to initial clearing and grading activities.

14. Wetland buffers shall remain in an undisturbed condition except for approved drainage facility construction/maintenance.

15. The following boundaries, as shown on the approved construction drawings, shall be clearly delineated on the site prior to initial clearing or grading activities:

wetland and surface water areaswetland buffers

limits of approved wetland impactsconstruction access for M-1, M-2, and M-3

14

PROJECT NAME: Waterset - Phase 2A

GRANTED TO: NNP Southbend II, LLC 1137 Marbella Plaza Drive Tampa, FL 33619

ABSTRACT: This permit modifies and replaces existing Environmental Resource Permit No. 43018888.015 for the 346.20-acre Waterset - Phase 2 development and authorizes the separate construction of Waterset - Phase 2A. The Phase - 2A construction will include approximately 194-lots of the proposed 550-lot single-family residential subdivision, mass grading of the future lots, and associated access roadways and all stormwater ponds, floodplain mitigation ponds, and wetland mitigation required for the entire 346.20-acre project. The proposed project is located east of U.S. Highway 41, south of the existing "Covington Park" residential development near Apollo Beach. In existing conditions, the site is predominantly pasture land and drains to the west to an existing railroad ditch that runs approximately parallel to and east of U.S. Highway 41. The site then continues to drain west in various existing cross-drains under the railroad and the highway to several existing outfalls draining to Tampa Bay. The proposed surface water management system will generally maintain these existing drainage patterns and is designed to reduce the post-development peak discharge rate to less than the pre-development peak discharge rate for a 25-year/24-hour storm event. Water quality treatment and quantity attenuation for the proposed project will be provided in ten proposed wet detention ponds and eight onsite wetland areas. Compensatory volume for proposed impacts to the floodplain will be provided in three additional ponds.

Permit No. 43018888.015 previously authorized a 0.33-acre wetland impact, 1.78 acres of upland cut surface water impacts, and the creation of a 0.52-acre wetland mitigation area for the Waterset Phase 2 development. This permit authorizes these wetland impacts and the mitigation area to be conducted within construction Phase 2A of the Waterset development. The wetland impacts and mitigation were reviewed utilizing the Unified Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM).

Mitigation Comments: The 0.15-acre permanent wetland impact will be offset by the creation of a 0.52-acre mixed forested and herbaceous wetland creation area. The wetland impacts and mitigation were reviewed utilizing the UMAM and the 0.095 units of functional loss for the wetland impacts will be offset by the 0.095 units of functional gain provided by the creation of the 0.52-acre Mitigation Area M-H1. Mitigation is not required for impacts to isolated Wetlands H, H2, and N, and upland-cut Ditches 100-113, pursuant to Subsections 3.2.2.1 and 3.2.2.2 of the Basis of Review. Under these Subsections, wetland mitigation is not required for impacts to isolated wetlands that are not connected by standing or flowing water to other wetlands so that they are greater than one-half acre in size, are not used by threatened or endangered species, are not located in an Area of Critical State Concern, and are of minimal value to fish and wildlife. Mitigation is not required for upland-cut ditches that do not provide significant habitat for threatened or endangered species and were not constructed to divert natural stream flow.

Mitigation Comments: To mitigate for 2.04 acres of permanent impact to surface waters, the Permittee will create 2.01 acres of surface waters that are composed of 1.32 acres of mangrove swamp, 0.59 acres of saltwater marsh and 0.12 acre of flushing tidal creek areas. The UMAM Functional Gain of the mitigation was determined to be 0.97 unit. Since the Functional Gain of the mitigation is greater that the Functional Loss of the impacts, the impacts are adequately offset by the mitigation. The removal of plants from the salt marsh areas will result in 1.29 acres of temporary impacts to surface waters and construction of the mitigation area will require 0.02 acre of temporary filling of surface water. Habitat mitigation for the 1.31 acres of temporary impacts will not be required. The temporary impacts are considered to be a deminimis effect to fish and wildlife.

Wetland Comments: The project area contains 26.81 acres of wetlands and 1.29 acres of upland cut ditches. Of the 26.81 acres of wetlands, 21.05 acres are herbaceous (wetlands WL-1, WL-2, WL-3, WL-4, WL-7, WL-7A, WL-8, WL-9, WL-10, WL-11, WL-12, and WL-13) and 5.76 acres are forested (wetlands WL-5 and WL-6).

Permanent impacts, previously permitted under ERP No. 49004217.008, are proposed to 16.55 acres of herbaceous wetlands and 1.29 acres of upland cut ditches.

The impacts to the upland cut ditches are not recorded in the table above because they are not used by threatened or endangered species and were deemed insignificant.

Mitigation Comments: Mitigation for the permanent impacts to onsite wetlands, previously permitted under ERP No. 49004217.008, is provided by 25.25 acres of herbaceous wetland creation (WC-1) and 2.54 acres of herbaceous wetland enhancement (WL-9, WL-10, WL-11, and WL-12).

No mitigation is required for the impacts to the upland cut ditches because they were constructed in uplands, do not provide significant habitat for threatened or endangered species, and were not constructed to divert natural stream flow.

72


The functional loss of 10.47 due to the wetland impacts associated with this project is offset by the functional gain of 10.51 provided by the mitigation. The amount of mitigation required was determined through the use of the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Methodology (Chapter 62-345 F.A.C.).

Mitigation Comments: Mitigation for permanent impacts to 0.31 acre of forested wetlands within the Peace River basin is provided by purchase of 0.20 Freshwater Forested credits from the Peace River Mitigation Bank (Permit No. 43029983.000). Mitigation for permanent impacts to 0.39 acre of herbaceous wetlands within the Peace River basin is provided by purchase of 0.16 non-forested freshwater credits from the Boran Ranch Mitigation Bank (Permit No. 49026121.000). Mitigation bank credits are not equivalent to mitigation acreage, therefore the 'acres' column in the table above contains '0' for the two mitigations banks. The wetland impact offset is satisfied by functional gain.

Mitigation for permanent impacts to 1.51 acres of forested wetlands and 0.14 acre of herbaceous wetlands within the Withlacoochee River basin is provided by creation of 3.43 acres of mixed forested and herbaceous wetlands within the same basin.

81


Mitigation is not required for permanent impacts to 0.40 acre of ditches because they were constructed in uplands, do not provide significant habitat for threatened or endangered species, and were not constructed to divert natural stream flow, pursuant to Subsection 3.2.2.2 of the District’s Basis of Review.

Mitigation is not required for permanent impacts to 0.02 acre of an upland-cut pond because the pond was constructed in uplands, is wholly owned, is less than 1.0 acre in area, and does not provide significant habitat for threatened or endangered species, pursuant to Subsection 3.2.2.2 of the District’s Basis of Review.

The functional loss of 1.25 due to the wetland impacts associated with this permit will be offset by the functional gain of 1.25 provided by the mitigation. The functional loss and gain were calculated using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (Chapter 62-340, F.A.C.). The 3.74 acres of wetland creation mitigation authorized by this permit includes 0.31 acre of mitigation in excess of the 3.43 acres required to offset impacts authorized by this permit. This additional mitigation acreage may be utilized by the Permittee to offset functional loss due to future authorized wetland and surface water impacts, as appropriate. The amount of functional gain provided by the 0.31 acre of mitigation will be determined based on a functional assessment of the mitigation at the time the mitigation is needed to offset wetland impacts.









4. Within 30 days after completion of construction of the permitted activity, the Permittee shall submit to the Bartow Service Office a written statement of completion and certification by a registered professional engineer or other appropriate individual as authorized by law, utilizing the

82


required Statement of Completion and Request for Transfer to Operation Entity form identified in Chapter 40D-1.659, F.A.C., and signed, dated and sealed as-built drawings. The as-built drawings shall identify any deviations from the approved construction drawings.

6. At such time as the use of reclaimed water reaches 500,000 gpd on an annual average basis, the Permittee shall apply to modify this permit to decrease the quantity of water permitted from the on site wells.

7. Compliance with the allocated standard annual average quantity and drought annual average quantities is based on a rolling 12-month calculation where the current pumpage is added to the pumpage for the previous 11 months, and the total is then divided by the number of days in those 12 months for gallons per day. If the Permittee exceeds the allocated standard annual average quantity or drought annual average quantities during any month, within 30 days the Permittee must submit a report to the District that includes reasons why the allocated quantities were exceeded, efforts already taken to attempt meeting the allocated quantities, and a plan to bring the permit into compliance. Reports for Permittees not achieving the allocated quantities are subject to District approval. Justification for exceeding the allocated quantities does not constitute a waiver of the District's authority to enforce the terms and conditions of the permit.

8. The Permittee shall continue to carry out the provisions of the Water Conservation Plan received on April 3, 2009, including those additional water conservation provisions received during this permit evaluation. The Permittee shall continue to develop, improve upon, and expand the water conservation programs to reduce the per capita use rate.

A. The Permittee shall study the effectiveness of the water rate structure toward encouraging conservative use of water, and shall study the feasibility and merit of rate structure adjustments to increase the conservation effectiveness of the rate structure. The number of rate tiers, the tier breakpoints, and the incline of rate tiers are factors that should be considered for each customer class, toward the objectives of conservative use of water and causing reduced per capita water use within the service area.

B. The Permittee shall study the County ordinances which affect landscape management choices and the associated water uses for landscape irrigation within Marion County, with

113


an objective of providing opportunities and options for the revision or adoption of ordinances toward three purposes: 1) to encourage the use of low-water-demand landscaping through the use of plant materials well suited to the site-specific soils and landscape conditions; 2) to encourage use of the most efficient irrigation techniques practically feasible, and; 3) to encourage irrigation operation only when necessary to sustain developed landscapes through droughts. Ordinance objectives would be to provide incentives for use of low-water-landscaping materials and practices, and to provide disincentives for use of high-water-demand landscaping materials and practices in existing and future development.

C. The Permittee shall encourage voluntary compliance with water shortage restrictions and water conservation rules through education efforts. The Permittee shall observe the success of voluntary compliance, as well as activities by the local government to enforce compliance.

D. Prior to submission of a formal application to renew or increase quantities of this permit, the Permittee shall submit a written report on the feasibility of supplying reclaimed water to existing or proposed water users for non-potable beneficial uses, such as golf course irrigation, lawn and landscaping irrigation, and/or crop irrigation applications. The report shall include a feasibility study, including cost analysis for supplying reclaimed water to customers (e.g. construction or upgrade of wastewater treatment facilities, transmission lines, etc.). Infeasibility shall be supported with a detailed explanation.

9. The Permittee shall submit an annual water conservation report, by April 1 of each year for the preceding calendar year. The report shall identify the average per capita use rate within the service area for the calendar year, and report on the activities and effectiveness of each element of the conservation plan. If the goal of per capita use rate reduction has not been achieved, the report shall address measures being pursued during the current calendar year to increase the effectiveness of the water conservation plan.

A. The Report shall include a residential water use report for the preceding calendar year, detailing the following:

1. The number of single family dwelling units served and their total water use; 2. The number of multi-family dwelling units served and their total water use; 3. The number of mobile homes and their total water use.

Where separate indoor and outdoor meters exist, residential water use quantities shall include both the indoor and outdoor water uses associated with the dwelling units, including irrigation water.

B. With the calculation of the average per capita use rate, the report shall include the following:

1. The population served; 2. Significant deducted uses and their significant use quantities; 3. Total withdrawals; 4. Treatment losses and utility uses.

C. The report shall address compliance with water shortage restrictions within the service area. The success of education efforts to cause voluntary compliance shall be addressed, and statistics shall be provided from the County regarding enforcement of water shortage restrictions during the calendar year, including the number of warnings and citations issued.

114


D. The report shall address reuse, including the following: 1. Quantity of total reclaimed water provided by the Permittee for reuse both on an Annual Average daily and monthly basis; 2. The account name, address, and metered or estimated unmetered quantities for each account receiving reclaimed water.

E. For common area landscaping, the Permittee shall: 1. Incorporate best water management practices, specifically including but not limited

to irrigation practices, as recommended for the permitted activities in reports and publications by the IFAS.

2. Limit daytime irrigation to the greatest extent practicable to reduce losses from evaporation. Daytime irrigation for the purposes of system maintenance, control of heat stress, crop protection, plant establishment, or for other reasons which require daytime irrigation are permissible; but should be limited to the minimum amount necessary as indicated by best management practices.

3. Implement leak detection and repair program as an element of an ongoing system maintenance program. This program shall include a system-wide inspection at least once per year.

4. Evaluate the feasibility of improving the efficiency of the current irrigation system or converting to a more efficient system. This condition includes implementation of the improvements or conversion when determined to be operationally and economically feasible.

10. The Permittee is encouraged to demonstrate that beneficial reuse of treated effluent is maximized so that 50% or more of the total annual treated effluent flow is beneficially reused. The calculation of the percentage beneficially reused will be based on the Permittee's waste water treatment plants that have a capacity of 0.5 million gallons per day or greater. Beneficial reuse includes:

A. Landscape irrigation of golf courses, playing fields, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, school yards, retail nurseries and commercial, industrial and residential properties.

B. Agricultural irrigation of food, fiber, fodder and seed crops, wholesale nurseries, “cut flowers", sod farms and improved pastures.

C. Ground water recharge where such recharge results in environmental or water supply benefit.

D. Industrial uses for cooling water, process water and wash waters. E. Wetlands restoration. F. Fire protection. G. Environmental enhancement, including discharges to surface waters to replace

withdrawals.Other useful purposes accepted by the District or allowed under a DEP permit pursuant to Chapter 62-610, F.A.C.

Monthly Same week of each month

Analyses shall be performed according to procedures outlined in the current edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater by the American Public Health Association-American Water Works Association-Water Pollution Control Federation (APHA-AWWA-WPCF) or Methods for Chemical Analyses of Water and Wastes by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

5. Any wells not in use, and in which pumping equipment is not installed shall be capped or valved in a water tight manner in accordance with Subsection 62-532.500(3)(a)(4), F.A.C.

6. The Permittee shall report connection to reclaimed water to the Permit Data Section, Regulation Performance Management Department, within 30 days of connection to the reuse source. The Permittee shall list the source name, location, and monthly reclaimed quantities obtained in gallons, for each source, and submit this information to the Permit Data Section by the 10th day of the following month, in conjunction with the monthly pumpage report.

7. Within 90 days of the replacement of any or all withdrawal quantities from ground water or surface water bodies with an Alternative Water Supply, the Permittee shall apply to modify this permit to reflect incorporation of the alternative source of water to replace permitted quantities in equal amounts. The replaced water shall be put on standby and may be used in the event that some or all of the alternative source is not available.

8. The Permittee shall:

A. Incorporate best water management practices, specifically including but not limited to irrigation practices, as recommended for the permitted activities in reports and publications by the IFAS.

B. Limit daytime irrigation to the greatest extent practicable to reduce losses from evaporation. Daytime irrigation for purposes of system maintenance, control of heat stress, crop protection, plant establishment, or for other reasons which require daytime irrigation are permissible; but should be limited to the minimum amount necessary as indicated by best management practices.

C. Implement a leak detection and repair program as an element of an ongoing system maintenance program. This program shall include a system-wide inspection at least once per year.

D. Evaluate the feasibility of improving the efficiency of the current irrigation system or converting to a more efficient system. This condition includes implementation of the improvements or conversion when determined to be operationally and economically feasible.

9. Compliance with the allocated standard annual average quantity and drought annual average quantities is based on a rolling 12-month calculation where the current pumpage is added to the pumpage for the previous 11 months, and the total is then divided by the number of days in those 12 months for gallons per day. If the Permittee exceeds the allocated standard annual average

123


quantity or drought annual average quantities during any month, within 30 days the Permittee must submit a report to the District that includes reasons why the allocated quantities were exceeded, efforts already taken to attempt meeting the allocated quantities, and a plan to bring the permit into compliance. Reports for Permittees not achieving the allocated quantities are subject to District approval. Justification for exceeding the allocated quantities does not constitute a waiver of the District's authority to enforce the terms and conditions of the permit.

10. Permittees whose maximum daily permitted water use is 1,000,000 gpd or more shall document and report on District forms, the beginning and ending hours and dates of operation of each withdrawal source used for the protection of crops from frost or freeze damage. The report shall include the gallons per day pumped from each withdrawal source based on irrigation system capacity, or if available, totalizing flow meter readings. This report shall be submitted by the 10th day of the month following irrigation for crop protection. The crop protection daily quantities specified in this permit are solely for the purpose of crop protection, and do not apply to routine irrigation practices. Irrigation for crop protection shall not exceed the crop protection daily quantity listed on the permit and shall not cause water to go to waste.

Even if your maximum daily permitted water use is less than 1,000,000 gpd, please be aware that it is in your best interest to document this usage as described above so that quantities pumped for crop protection can be excluded from the compliance calculation of your annual average use and in the determination of credit amounts.

11. This Permit is located within the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA). Pursuant to Section 373.0421, Florida Statutes, the SWUCA is subject to a minimum flows and levels recovery strategy, which became effective on January 1, 2007. The Governing Board may amend the recovery strategy, including amending applicable water use permitting rules based on an annual assessment of water resource criteria, cumulative water withdrawal impacts, and on a recurring five-year evaluation of the status of the recovery strategy up to the year 2025 as described in Chapter 40D-80, Florida Administrative Code. This Permit is subject to modification to comply with new rules.

12. The Permittee shall not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the total irrigated acres by the total allocated acre-inches per irrigated acre per season for each crop type. For all crops except citrus, an irrigated acre, hereafter referred to as "acre," is defined as the gross acreage under cultivation, including areas used for water conveyance such as ditches, but excluding uncultivated areas such as wetlands, retention ponds, and perimeter drainage ditches. For citrus, an irrigated acre is based on 74% shaded area, equivalent to 89.4% of the gross acreage minus uncultivated areas such as wetlands, retention ponds, and perimeter drainage ditches.

An Applicant or Permittee within the Southern Water Use Caution Area may obtain the total allocated acre-inches per acre per season for their crops, plants, soil types, planting dates, and length of growing season by completing the "Irrigation Water Allotment Form" and submitting it to the District. The District will complete and return the form with the calculated total allocated acre-inches and water conserving credit per acre per season per crop, if applicable, based on the information provided. The "Irrigation Water Allotment Form" is available upon request.

13. The Permittee shall record the following information on the appropriate "Irrigation Water Use Form", provided by the District, for each permitted irrigation withdrawal:

A. Items (1) through (7) for seasonal crops (example: vegetables) and nurseries; B. Items (1) through (4) and item (7) for annual crops and plants (example: citrus, pasture,

lawn and landscape); C. Items (1) through (4) and item (8) for golf courses (annual); The list of items are:

124


1) Crop type; 2) Monthly irrigated acres per crop for seasonal crops; annual irrigated acres for

annual crops (Citrus growers, give total acres; the District will calculate "shaded area" for the groves.)

3) The dominant soil type per crop or the number of acres per crop on that dominant soil type;

4) Irrigation methods;

5) Planting dates (the date the plants are actually placed in the beds, not the date the field is prepared);

6) Season length (in days); 7) Crop protection quantities (total gallons); and 8) Number of acres of tees and greens.

D. Additionally, if used, the following shall be documented separately: 1) Beginning and ending dates of irrigation for field preparation/crop establishment

and supplemental irrigation; 2) Beginning and ending hour and date of each use of quantities for crop protection; 3) Non-irrigation use from irrigation well: Quantities from the withdrawals listed on

these forms that were for other uses not related to irrigation demand. Such uses may include filling of spray tanks, livestock needs, and cleaning equipment and facilities.

4) Use of tailwater recovery.

This information shall be submitted to the Permit Data Section, Regulation Performance Management Department, for irrigation activity during the previous season or year on the appropriate District form according to the following schedule:

Irrigation Water Use Form No. Form Title Submit ByWUP-10 Form 46.20-010 (10/01) Annual Crops March 1

14. By June 1, 2009 the Permittee shall submit a detailed study regarding the feasibility of utilizing a tailwater recovery system on the property for the purposes of irrigation. The report shall address and include:

A. Economic factors, water quality, the total quantity of tailwater available, and other associated considerations; and

B. An implementation schedule for the tailwater reuse, if such use is determined by the Permittee and the District to be feasible.

If the use of a tailwater recovery system is found not to be feasible, information detailing why such an operation is not feasible will be included.

If the use of a tailwater recovery system for irrigation purposes is determined to be feasible by the Permittee and the District, the Permittee shall submit an implementation plan to the Permit Data Section, Regulation Performance Management Department, for review and approval, within 30 days after the feasibility report is approved in writing by the Regulation Department Director, Resource Regulation. The District will require the construction and implementation of the approved tailwater recovery system into the Permittee's irrigation operation within a period of time agreed upon by the District and the Permittee. A modification of the Water Use Permit may be required by the District after approval of the implementation plan.

125


15. A. Shell and Prairie Creek Watersheds The District has determined that direct and indirect run-off of irrigation water into Shell

Creek and Prairie Creek have contributed to water quality degradation in a Class I waterway that serves as a public supply source for an existing legal water user, the City of Punta Gorda. Degradation of the City's reservoir has occurred to such an extent that the concentration of several constituents has exceeded secondary drinking water standards in the past. To avoid further degradation of the reservoir and to improve water quality, such that it is consistent with Class I water quality standards, the Permittee shall continue to improve the management of irrigation water by reducing or eliminating off-site discharge of lower quality irrigation water. At the time of issuance of this permit the District is addressing off-site discharge and attempting to resolve the aforementioned adverse impacts through cooperative and collaborative measures with Permittees, changes in irrigation management practices, and other methods. If the effectiveness of these measures is determined to be insufficient to resolve these adverse impacts and irrigation management practices on this site appear to contribute to these continued impacts, the District may seek to modify this permit in accordance with applicable law.

B. Best Management Practices This specific permit is issued with the understanding that the Permittee shall implement

Best Management Practices (BMPs), which will result in elimination of off-site discharge of lower quality irrigation water to the greatest extent practicable. This is required to avoid contribution by this permitted site to the water quality degradation within the Shell Creek and Prairie Creek watersheds, and to assist in improvement in water quality of the City of Punta Gorda's Shell Creek Reservoir.

C. Joshua Creek Best Management Practices This specific permit is issued with the understanding that the Permittee shall implement

Best Management Practices (BMPs), which will result in elimination of off-site discharge of lower quality irrigation water to the greatest extent practicable. This is required to avoid contribution by this permitted site to the water quality degradation and potential impairment of surface waters within the Joshua Creek watershed.

D. Well Construction Stipulations The Permittee shall construct the proposed wells according to the surface diameter and

casing depth specifications below. The casing depth specified is to prevent the unauthorized interchange of water between different water bearing zones. The total depth listed below is an estimate, based on best available information. However, since this well is located in an area where water quality can be poor, it is the well driller's responsibility to measure specific conductivity of the well water during construction, in 20 ft intervals once casing is set. The open-hole interval of the well can only be advanced if the specific conductivity does not exceed 1,000 microSiemens and sampling of specific conductivity occurs in 20 foot intervals. Such sampling is necessary to ensure that the well does not encounter water of a quality that cannot be utilized by the Permittee, and to ensure that withdrawals from the well will not cause impacts to area surface waters or induce salt water intrusion. Specific conductivity readings must be recorded and submitted to the District. District staff are available to assist and verify readings during well construction and to receive water quality results. Please contact the Resource Conservation and Data Department at (813) 985-7481 ext. 2102, 48 hours prior to initiation of well construction and specify at that time if assistance is needed in collecting specific conductivity measurements.

a. Regardless of the maximum depth specified above, it is the well driller's

responsibility to cease drilling when the specific conductivity of the ground water reaches 1,000 microSiemens.

b. The casing shall be continuous from land surface to the minimum depth stated above.

c. All well casing (including liners and/or pipe) must be sealed to the depth specified above.

d. The proposed wells shall be constructed of materials that are resistant to degradation of the casing/grout due to interaction with the water of lesser quality. A minimum grout thickness of two (2) inches is required on wells four (4) inches or more in diameter.

e. A minimum of twenty (20) feet overlap and two (2) centralizers is required for Public Supply wells and all wells six (6) inches or more in diameter.

f. The finished well casing depth shall not vary from these specifications by greater than ten (10) percent unless advance approval is granted by the Regulation Department Director, or the Supervisor of the Well Construction Permitting Section in Brooksville.

g. The finished well total depth shall not exceed the maximum total depth unless advance approval is granted by either the Regulation Department Director, or the Supervisor of the Well Construction Permitting Section in Brooksville, and the specific conductivity is less than 1,000 microSiemens.

h. Advance approval from the Regulation Department Director is necessary should the Permittee propose to change the well location or casing diameter.

Following completion of District ID Nos. 46, 47, 52, 53, 57, 58, 59, 60, 65, 70, 73, 75, 76, 79, 80, 82,84 and 85, Permittee ID Nos J46, J47, J52, J53, J57, J58, J59, J60, J65, J70, J73, J75, J76, J79, J80, J82, J84 and J85, a water-quality sample shall be collected by District Staff for laboratory analysis. The sample shall be collected during reverse air drilling, or other appropriate method with prior approval by the Regulation Department Director, Resource Regulation, which will allow representative samples to be collected. The sample shall be analyzed by the District's certified laboratory for specific conductivity, chloride, sulfate and total dissolved solids. Reports of the analyses will be submitted to the Permittee upon completion.

The Permittee shall submit a copy of the well completion report to the District's Permit Data Section within 30 days of well completion.

Item 24

Consent Agenda June 24, 2008

Regulation Committee -- Other

Approve Initiation of Rulemaking to Amend Section 1.7.23 of the Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) Basis of Review (BOR) and Appendix 5 of the ERP BOR to Maintain Protection for the Bald Eagle The District’s ERP rules afford particular protection to certain aquatic and wetland dependent wildlife species that have been classified by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) as endangered, threatened or a species of special concern. These protections include protecting the existing upland nesting and denning habitat for such species because uplands serve a critical role in these species’ life cycles. Specifically, Section 3.2.7(b), BOR, requires an applicant to provide reasonable assurance that the construction, alteration, and intended or reasonably expected uses of a proposed surface water management system will not adversely impact the ecological value of uplands to these animal species for enabling existing nesting or denning. Appendix 5 then identifies these species by name. Currently, this table includes the Bald Eagle as a threatened species.

The FWC, at it's meeting on April 9, 2008, accepted recommendations that the Bald Eagle be removed from Florida's list of wildlife species that are classified as threatened. Concerned that a stable or increasing population of Bald Eagles is maintained throughout Florida, the FWC also approved a Bald Eagle Management Plan, which is incorporated by reference in new rules for non-listed nongame birds that are specific to the Bald Eagle (68A-16.002, F.A.C.). This plan acknowledges the need for continued protection of upland nesting habitat and that implementation will require the cooperation of local, state, and federal governmental agencies; non-governmental organizations; business, agricultural, and forestry interests; universities; and the public.

Although the Bald Eagle is no longer classified as threatened in Florida, protection is continued under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act), a federal law. The Eagle Act prohibits a "take" of any Bald Eagle or of any Bald Eagle part, egg or nest except as authorized by federal regulations. The term “take” covers a broad range of actions including those that disturb an eagle. "Disturb" is to agitate or bother a Bald Eagle “to a degree that causes or is likely to cause (1) injury to an eagle, (2) a decrease in its productivity, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior, or (3) nest abandonment, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior.” The new FWC rules specific to the Bald Eagle defines disturb in the same way.

Given the acknowledged importance of uplands to the Bald Eagle for nesting and, thus, to its survival, and the continuing protections afforded the Bald Eagle by the Eagle Act, it is proposed that the existing upland nesting habitat of Bald Eagles continue to be protected under the District’s ERP rule. To accomplish this goal, staff is recommending that the definition of “listed species” be amended to specifically include the Bald Eagle. The remaining amendments update rule and statutory references to listed wildlife and plants in the definition of “listed species,” and reflect that the Bald Eagle is no longer classified by FWC as a threatened species in Florida.

138

Item 24 If the initiation of rulemaking is approved, the attached draft rule language will be provided to the members of the Environmental Resource Permitting Advisory Groups and the District's Environmental Advisory Committee. If no substantive comments are received, District staff will proceed with the proposed rule changes without further Governing Board action.

Staff Recommendation: See Exhibit

Approve staff's request to initiate rulemaking, approve the proposed rule language and authorize staff to complete the rulemaking process, provided no substantive comments are received requesting changes to the proposed rules.

Resource Management Committee 2008 Water Supply Assessment and 2010 Regional Water Supply Plan Update

PurposeThis item is to request Governing Board concurrence that a regional water supply plan is needed for all counties in the District.

Background\HistoryIn accordance with Chapter 373, Florida Statutes, each water management district was required to initiate a District-wide water supply assessment that described water demands and identified sources of water available over a 20-year planning horizon. If the assessment indicated available water supplies could not meet projected demands and sustain the water resources and related natural systems, a regional water supply plan shall be developed for that area. The District completed the first assessment in 1998. The re-evaluation of the need for a regional water supply plan must be made by each district at least every five years.

A District-wide Water Supply Assessment, completed in 1998, indicated that sufficient water supplies were available to meet projected 20-year demands only in the Northern Planning Region of the District (Hernando County and all counties to the north). The Governing Board approved staff’s recommendation that a regional water supply plan was necessary in the southern ten counties (South-Central Planning Region) of the District, and staff subsequently produced the Regional Water Supply Plan in 2001.

Subsequently, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the five water management districts mutually agreed that a formal Water Supply Assessment document was not necessary. It was determined that the intent of legislation would be satisfied by updating and evaluating the water supply demand projections to determine if a regional water supply plan is needed. The District recently initiated an annual update of the water supply demand projections.

In 2003, the Governing Board concurred with the determination that a regional water supply plan was again needed for the southern ten counties (South-Central Planning Region) of the District and that a regional water supply plan was not necessary for the Northern Planning Region. The Board approved the Regional Water Supply Plan in December 2006 (first update).

In an effort to be more consistent with other water management districts, future regional water supply plan updates will be completed every five years beginning in 2010. Staff updated and evaluated the water supply demand projections and is recommending that a regional water supply plan for the planning period through 2030 is needed for all counties in the District, including the counties in the Northern Planning Area. Though there is a general lack of existing regional impacts to water resources in the Northern Planning Area according to the most recent assessments, there are smaller-scale cumulative effects of withdrawals throughout the region especially in areas where the rate of growth has accelerated beyond what was previously anticipated. These areas of concern require focused attention to prevent harm to the resources and as a preventive effort; the Northern Planning Area needs to be included in the Regional Water Supply Plan. Staff will keep the Governing Board apprised of progress as the regional water supply planning proceeds through the routine reports or as a committee discussion item.

144

Item 25 With Board approval, staff will begin development of the updated plan and anticipates a draft Regional Water Supply Plan for public comment in April 2010. After opportunities are provided for stakeholder input, primarily through public workshops and the Advisory Committees, the Regional Water Supply Plan will be ready for Board Approval in late 2010.


Governing Board concurrence in the determination that a regional water supply plan will be prepared (updated) for all the counties located in the District.

The appraisal reports were prepared on June 29, 2007, meet the necessary legal or District requirements and contain the appraiser’s factual data leading to the value conclusion.

Highest and Best Use – The highest and best use as, determined by the appraisers, based on the physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible uses for this property, would be to hold the property speculatively until development with a single-family subdivision would be

146

Item 26 financially feasible.

The appraisers applied the Sales Comparison Approach (Market Approach) to determine the value of this property. The appraisers relied on recent sales of comparable property in Manatee County. The sales were adjusted for differences that included, date of sale, location/access and physical characteristics including size and ground cover. The following is a comparison of the negotiated amount and the appraised values:

Negotiated

AmountAppraised Value

Mancuso Appraised Value

Marr Total Cost $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,145,000

Per Acre Cost $23,256 $23,256 gross $26,627 gross

Resource Management Committee Appraisals, Purchase/Sale Agreements and Resolution Requesting Funds – Annutteliga Hammock Project, SWF Parcel Nos. 15-228-1290, 1293 and 1294

PurposeThe purpose of this item is to request the Governing Board approve the purchase of approximately 16.26 acres that has been negotiated in three separate transactions with owners Ronald Hadley, Rozalia Both and Carolyn M. Koblis for a total cost of $374,714 as part of the District's Annutteliga Hammock project. To date, approximately 2,200 acres have been acquired within the project. Other publicly owned lands in the area of the project total approximately 76,500 acres. A general location map of the parcels is included in the board packet as Exhibit 1 to this item.

Background/HistoryThe purchase of three parcels has been negotiated as part of the District’s Annutteliga Hammock project. The owners and acreage of each parcel is in the table that follows.

SWF Parcel Number Acres Owner 15-228-1290 5.00 Ronald Hadley 15-228-1293 6.26 Rozalia Both 15-228-1294 5.00 Carolyn M. Koblis

Acquisition of the parcels is consistent with the District’s Florida Forever Work Plan, which specifically identifies the Annutteliga Hammock project for acquisition. The Governing Board approved the Annutteliga Hammock Resource Evaluation Report in 1996, authorizing acquisition within the project. The project consists of approximately 14,073 acres of high quality sand hills and upland hardwood forests (hammocks) located in the northwestern region of Hernando County. The Annutteliga Hammock project provides a corridor connection to large areas of public lands. To the west of the project across U.S. Highway 19 are the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, the Chassahowitzka Swamp Conservation and Recreational Lands (CARL) project, the Longleaf Pine Ecosystem CARL project, and the District’s Chassahowitzka River and Coastal Swamps, and Weekiwachee Preserve projects.

In 2007 the Governing Board authorized the Land Resources Director to proceed directly to the Governing Board with appraisals and purchase/sale agreements which do not exceed the appraised value for parcels within the northern area of Annutteliga Hammock (Block 1). See Exhibit 2 included in the board packet.

Acquisition of these lands will meet the following Florida Forever program goals: Enhance the coordination and completion of land acquisition projects Increase the protection of Florida's biodiversity at the species, natural community and landscape levels

Increase natural resource-based public recreational and educational opportunities

These Florida Forever goals are consistent with the District's goals for water resource management.

Resource Management Committee Appraisals and Purchase/Sale Agreement – Lake Hancock Project, SWF Parcel Nos. 20-503-106 and 20-503-106P

PurposeThe purpose of this item is to request the Governing Board approve the purchase of 122 acres in fee ownership and accept a combination of title interests including perpetual flowage/inundation easements on 27 acres and mineral rights involving approximately 313 acres of property as a result of negotiations with the owners, Summertimes Ranch, Inc. and Southern Resources, Inc., as part of the District’s Lake Hancock project. A general location map of the parcel in relation to the project (Exhibit 1) and a detailed map of the parcel (Exhibit 2) are included in the Board packet as exhibits to this item.

Background/HistoryOn September 25, 2007, the Governing Board authorized the implementation of the Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification Project including acquisition of lands (placing priority emphasis on voluntary acquisitions) necessary for the project. The Board also approved the use of eminent domain, if necessary, to complete the acquisition process. The Lake Hancock Project is a result of the District being required by state law (Section 373.042, Florida Statutes (F.S.)) to develop minimum flows and levels (MFL) on priority water bodies and aquifers. The purpose of the MFL is to ensure that adequate flows or levels are maintained to protect the state's water resources. The District has set minimum flows for the upper Peace River including 17 cubic feet per second (cfs) at Bartow, 27 cfs at Fort Meade, and 45 cfs at Zolfo Springs. Flows in the upper Peace River were below the minimum flows at Fort Meade approximately 28 percent of the time during the last 30 years. The District's Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) Recovery Strategy includes a specific recovery strategy, as required by state law (Section 373.0421, F.S.), for the upper Peace River because the minimum flows are not currently being met.

Ground-water withdrawals in the SWUCA have resulted in declines in aquifer levels throughout the SWUCA and contribute to reduced flows in the upper Peace River. The District determined that it is not feasible to reduce groundwater withdrawals to achieve the minimum flows for the upper Peace River. The Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification Project is critical in the District's strategies for meeting the minimum flows in the upper Peace River. The goal of the project is to store water by raising the control elevation of the existing outflow structure on Lake Hancock from 98.7 to 100.0 feet and to slowly release water during the dry season to help meet the flow requirements in the upper Peace River. Historically, prior to man-made alterations, the lake level was approximately one to two feet higher than the current operating level. The Lake Level Project is anticipated to recover up to approximately 50 percent of the minimum flows for the upper Peace River.

Project/Parcel Benefits – In addition to the Lake Level Project providing up to 50 percent of the minimum flows for the upper Peace River, the Project will also improve the function of approximately 1,000 acres of wetlands around the lake and preserve approximately 4,800 acres of floodplain. To date, the District has acquired 6,980 acres in fee simple interest and 718 acres via perpetual conservation/inundation easements within the project. This acquisition could provide additional public recreation partnership opportunities and restoration/ mitigation opportunities on the west side of Saddle Creek depending on the outcome of the Lake Hancock Land Use Alternatives Plan currently under development. Upon completion of this acquisition, the District will own approximately eight and one-half miles of the 11 total miles of affected lake front properties on Lake Hancock. The land and rights acquired to date were accomplished through 14 transactions, and the remaining acreage is fractionalized over 56 parcels.

154

Item 28 Property DescriptionLocation and Access – The property is located (see Exhibit 2) north of Bartow and east of US 98 with 1,475 feet of highway frontage and approximately one mile of frontage split equally between the southwestern shore of Lake Hancock and west side of Saddle Creek. The property located on the west side of Lake Hancock/Saddle Creek will include 122 acres to be acquired in fee, portions of 12 of 15 waterfront lots that are part of the River Lake and Summertimes Plantation subdivisions over which the District will be conveyed perpetual flowage/inundation easements, as well as other lands that have not been platted. The property consists of approximately 83 percent uplands and 17 percent wetlands. Also, as part of the negotiations, the owner agreed to facilitate the transfer of perpetual flowage/inundation easements on two of the three lots he no longer owns. The acquisition also includes 313 acres of mineral rights held by the owner located on the east side of Saddle Creek that are within the District’s Old Florida Plantation Development of Regional Impact (DRI) property. The mineral rights and perpetual flowage/inundation easements will be conveyed to the District at no cost. The acquisition acreage is broken down as follows:

Interest Location Fee Easements Mineral

Rights Total

West of Lake Hancock/Saddle Creek 122 27 0 149East of Saddle Creek 0 0 313 313

Total 462

Utilities and/or Improvements – The property has electric and telephone service, and municipal water available along US Highway 98. These portions of the property also include developed lots within the River Lake subdivision and areas that are approved for development of single family estate lots known as Summertimes Plantation. The owner has not started construction of the infrastructure for the approved development.

Zoning – The property is affected by two Land Use Classifications under the Polk County Comprehensive Plan and additionally is in the US Highway 98 Selected Area Plan which provides for additional development incentives. The western half of the property is designated Residential Low – 1X (RL-1X) allowing one unit per acre. The remaining portions are designated Residential Suburban – X (RS-X) allowing three units per acre. The property has the potential for 256 units, currently reflecting a density of 2.29 units per gross acre.

Summary of Appraisal and Value Comparisons – In accordance with District policy, two appraisals were obtained for the parcel from Michael A. McElveen, MAI of Urban Economics, Inc. and Martin C. Engelmann, Jr., MAI of Tropical Realty Appraisal Services. The appraisals were reviewed by Stephen Jamir, MAI of Jamir and Associates, Inc. The appraisal reports were prepared on January 24, and February 4, 2008, respectively. The appraisals have an effective date of December 27, 2007 and January 22, 2008, respectively, and meet the necessary legal or District requirements and contain the appraisers’ factual data leading to the value conclusion.

Highest and Best Use – The highest and best use, as determined by the appraisers, based on the physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible uses for this property, would be for residential subdivision development (McElveen) or to hold the property for future residential subdivision development (Engelmann).

The appraisers applied the Sales Comparison Approach (Market Approach) to determine the value of this property. The appraisers relied on recent sales of comparable property in Polk County. The sales were adjusted for differences that included site characteristics, utilities, location, size and zoning density.

The appraisers utilized different upland acre information sources for their value estimates, as the survey information was incomplete at the time of appraisal. A survey will be completed to account for ordinary high water line and other boundary issues prior to closing. The negotiated price per

155

Item 28 acre was based on 106 developable upland acres for the property located west of Lake Hancock/Saddle Creek. The following is a comparison of the negotiated amount to the appraised values:

Negotiated Price Appraised Value McElveen

Appraised Value Engelmann

Land Value $9,500,000 $12,500,000 $8,415,000Upland Acre Cost $89,623(1) $96,154(2) $85,000(3)

(1) Based on upland estimate of 106 acres. (2) Based on upland estimate of 130 acres. (3) Based on upland estimate of 99 acres.

The property is not listed for sale. The total negotiated settlement is 24 percent below the McElveen appraisal and 13 percent above the Engelmann appraisal, considering only the 106 acres to be acquired in fee simple. The easements and mineral rights were offered as part of the purchase negotiations and their respective values were not included in the appraisals, and, as such, represent additional value to the District. This negotiated settlement will eliminate the necessity of litigation.

Voluntary acquisition avoids the significant expense and investment of staff time that is required when eminent domain proceedings are initiated. In the eminent domain process the District can incur substantial costs in the form of attorneys fees and expert witness fees. Moreover, the District is not only responsible for the costs of its attorneys and experts, but also those costs incurred by the landowner in the condemnation suit.


An environmental site assessment will be completed prior to closing. The District acknowledges that the sellers intend to claim a form of a charitable donation associated with this transaction.

The sellers will convey oil, gas, and mineral rights east of Saddle Creek on lands which are part of the Old Florida Plantation DRI, SWF Parcel 20-502-101, acquired by the District in 2003.

The sellers will convey certain ingress, egress and utility easements affecting the property being acquired in fee simple.

The sellers will retain a cattle grazing license until construction/completion of the Project. The sellers have agreed to convey perpetual conservation/inundation easements to those areas not being acquired in fee. The easements will be conveyed with terms and conditions to implement the District’s Project.

Potential Surplus Lands – Any lands not used for project purposes can be surplused and sold on the open market. Staff will evaluate the potential for surplus lands associated with this acquisition at the appropriate time in the future. Section 373.139, Florida Statutes, requires any revenue generated from the sale of lands be used only for the purchase of other lands.

Impact If Not Funded/FundingFunds are available from the Governing Board's General Fund Water Supply and Resource Development Reserves for the acquisition/purchase of this parcel. If not funded, the Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification Project cannot be implemented.

Resource Management Committee Appraisals and Purchase/Sale Agreement - Lake Hancock Project, SWF Parcel No. 20-503-136

PurposeThe purpose of this item is to request the Governing Board approve the purchase of a home and an approximately 1.62-acre lot within the Waterwood Subdivision which has been negotiated with the owners, Calvin P. and Laura R. Cole, as part of the District’s Lake Hancock project. A general location map of the parcel in relation to the project (Exhibit 1) and a detailed map of the parcel (Exhibit 2) are included in the board packet as exhibits to this item.

This acquisition could provide additional restoration/ mitigation opportunities. Upon completion of this acquisition, the District will own approximately eight and one-half miles of the 11 total miles of affected lake front properties on Lake Hancock. The land and rights acquired to date were accomplished through 14 transactions, and the remaining acreage is fractionalized over 56 parcels.

Property DescriptionLocation and Access – The property is located at 5236 Waterwood Run in Bartow which is a publicly maintained road. The property has about 175 feet of frontage on the west side of Lake Hancock and contains 1.62 acres.

159

Item 29 Utilities and/or Improvements – The property has electric and telephone service available and is on a private well and septic system. It is improved with a three-bedroom, two and one-half bath, 3,692-(gross) square foot single family residence built in 1986. The Coles purchased the property in 1996 for $150,000.

Zoning – The property is zoned RS (Residential Suburban) by Polk County.

Summary of Appraisal and Value Comparisons - In accordance with District policy, two appraisals were obtained for the parcel from Nicholas J. Mancuso, MAI with Mancuso Appraisal Services, Inc. and Woodman S. Herr, MAI with Herr Valuation Services, Inc. The appraisals were reviewed by Stephen Jamir, MAI of Jamir and Associates, Inc. The appraisal reports were prepared on January 10, 2008 and December 4, 2007, respectively. The appraisals have an effective date of December 14, 2007 and November 26, 2007, respectively, and meet the necessary legal or District requirements and contain the appraisers’ factual data leading to the value conclusion.

In addition, the sellers provided an appraisal prepared by Michael P. Bobbitt with Applied Economics Group. This report was also reviewed by Mr. Jamir. The appraisal has an effective date of October 15, 2007 and, according to the reviewer, did not meet the District requirements or have adequate support for its conclusions.

Highest and Best Use – The highest and best use, as determined by the appraisers, based on the physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible uses for this property, would be for single family residential.

The appraisers applied the Sales Comparison Approach (Market Approach) to determine the value of this property. The appraisers relied on recent sales of comparable property in Polk County. The sales were adjusted for differences that included improvement characteristics (pool, garage size), location/access, and physical characteristics including size of house and lot and other improvements (outbuildings). The following is a comparison of the total negotiated purchase price to the appraised values:

Negotiated Amount

Appraised Value Mancuso

Appraised Value Herr

Appraised Value Bobbitt

$840,000 $615,000 $610,000 $1,490,000

The property is not listed for sale. The total acquisition cost of this property also includes consideration of the sellers’ moving expenses, a premium paid for a replacement residence meeting the sellers’ needs, attorney fees, and the property tax implications of relocating to a new residence.

Voluntary acquisition avoids the significant expense and investment of staff time that is required when eminent domain proceedings are initiated. In the eminent domain process the District can incur substantial costs in the form of attorneys fees and expert witness fees. Moreover, the District is not only responsible for the costs of its attorneys and experts, but also those costs incurred by the landowner in the condemnation suit.


An environmental site assessment will be completed prior to closing. The Purchase/Sale Agreement includes a provision to lease the property back to the sellers for a maximum of three months at a rate of $1,500 per month. o If the seller stays 90 days or less, no rent will be due; or o If the seller stays beyond 90 days, rent is due at the agreed-upon rate for the entire term of their

occupancy, including the first 90 days.

Resource Management Committee Land Use and Management Plan for the Chito Branch Reserve

PurposeTo approve the Land Use and Management Plan for the Chito Branch Reserve.

Background and History The Chito Branch Reserve encompasses 5,515 acres in southeastern Hillsborough County. The Reserve was acquired in 2001, in cooperation with Tampa Bay Water for regional water supply purposes. Tampa Bay Water constructed and operates the C.W. “Bill” Young Reservoir on 1,100 acres of the Reserve. The remaining 4,414 acres are a combination of mitigation and natural areas that are managed by the District. District staff has developed a ten-year land use and management plan, primarily for the 4,414 acres.

The Chito Branch Reserve is located in the Alafia River Watershed. The property consists of a variety of habitats including wetlands, pine flatwoods, scrubby flatwoods, scrub, freshwater marshes and improved pasture. The plan describes the condition and special management needs related to the protection of the Reserve’s water resource values, natural systems and endangered species known to exist on the property. Strategic objectives developed to protect natural resources and guide public use on the Reserve are summarized in the plan.

Consistent with Governing Board Policy 610-3, the purposes for acquisition, resource values and sensitivity of the Reserve were evaluated and zoned to demonstrate the level of protection needed to preserve or enhance the resources. During the zoning process, consideration was given to the Reserve’s habitat quality, hydrological functions, ecological indicators, sensitivity of natural communities and their inhabitants to disturbance, and user experience values. Recommendations in the plan are consistent the District's objectives to balance Tampa Bay Water’s operation of the reservoir, protection of natural resources and public use at the Reserve. District staff conducted a recreation needs assessment to determine future local and regional recreation needs that may be suitable at the Reserve. Uses that are deemed compatible with the sensitive natural resources at the Reserve and consistent with the results of the needs assessment include hiking, bicycling, equestrian, primitive camping, wildlife observation, interpretive uses, nature study, outdoor nature photography, picnicking and trail running. Subsequent to the recreation needs assessment, staff conducted a public workshop in August 2007 to receive public input on the results of the assessment and the conceptual plan. Input from the workshop was considered and evaluated relative to strategic objectives to protect the natural resources at the Reserve. A copy of the plan is included in the board packet for review.

This item will be presented to the Alafia River Basin Board at its June meeting.

Benefits and Costs The plan describes future management needs for the Reserve and outlines strategic initiatives for the next ten years.

Staff Recommendation: See Plan

Approve the Land Use and Management Plan for the Chito Branch Reserve.

Item 31


Resource Management Committee Land Use and Management Plan for the Conner Preserve

PurposeTo approve the Land Use and Management Plan for the Conner Preserve.

Background and History The Conner Preserve encompasses 2,980 acres in the eastern central portion of Pasco County. A map showing location is included in the attached management plan. The Preserve was acquired in 2003 as part of the Pasco 1 project. The land was purchased for preservation of natural systems, groundwater recharge, water quality, flood protection and passive recreation. The Preserve functions as a key wildlife corridor link between the Starkey Wilderness Preserve and Cypress Creek Preserve in Pasco County. Staff has developed a ten-year land use and management plan for the Preserve.

The Preserve is located in the Hillsborough Watershed (875 acres) and Springs Coast Watershed (2,098 acres) and contains the headwaters of Five Mile Creek. The property consists of a variety of habitats including wetlands, pine flatwoods, cypress domes, freshwater marshes, mixed uplands and improved pasture. The plan describes the condition and special management needs related to the protection of the Preserve's water resource values, natural systems and endangered species known to exist on the property. Strategic objectives developed to protect natural resources and guide public use on the Preserve are summarized in the plan.

Consistent with District Governing Board Policy 610-3, the purposes for acquisition, resource values and sensitivity of the Preserve were evaluated and zoned to demonstrate the level of protection needed to preserve the resources. During the zoning process consideration was given to the Preserve's habitat quality, hydrological functions, ecological indicators, sensitivity of natural communities and their inhabitants to disturbance, and user experience values. Subsequent to zoning the property, District staff conducted an assessment to determine local and regional resource-dependant recreation needs. A 15-mile radius was established around the Preserve for the assessment and the results contributed to the determination that hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, camping (primitive, tents), wildlife observation, geocaching, interpretive uses, nature study, outdoor nature photography, picnicking and trail running were compatible uses for the Preserve.

Accordingly, staff conducted a public workshop in August 2007 to receive public input on the results of the assessment and the conceptual plan. Input from the workshop primarily focused on horseback riding within the Preserve. Staff considered the purposes for acquisition, resource values and sensitivity of the Preserve, the results of the assessment and public input. Given the sensitivity of the natural systems at the Preserve, major restoration activities and the small size of the property, horseback riding was initially determined to be incompatible with the management objectives for the Preserve. However, after further consideration and public input, staff determined that a limited equestrian experience could be provided within the Preserve. Public Use recommendations contained in the plan are consistent with the District's objectives to balance protection of natural resources while providing a quality public use experience at the Preserve. A copy of the plan is included in the board packet for review.

Item 32.a.


Resource Management Committee Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems – Billy H. Haygood, Trustee D Hancock Marital Trust - Hancock Grove Project Phase II – DeSoto County

PurposeTo request approval for a Phase II Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) project with Billy H. Haygood, Trustee D Hancock Marital Trust - Hancock Grove Project Phase II, and approval to reimburse FARMS eligible costs up to a not-to-exceed limit of $300,000 (75 percent of total project costs). Of this amount, the 2008 State Appropriations will be used for $150,000, the Governing Board is requested to fund $75,000, and the Peace River Basin Board is requested to fund $75,000. Total project costs are estimated at $400,000.

Background/History The District's FARMS Program, developed by the District and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) cost-share reimbursement program. FARMS is intended to expedite the implementation of production-scale agricultural BMPs that provide water resource benefits. Resource benefits of the FARMS Program include reduced Floridan aquifer withdrawals, water quality improvements (both from groundwater and surface water sources) and/or conservation, restoration and augmentation of the area's water resources and ecology. The District's emphasis through the FARMS Program is on reductions in Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals that will improve groundwater conditions as documented in the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) recovery strategy. In addition, the District also provides funding for projects that improve water quality affected by the use of mineralized groundwater as documented in the Shell and Prairie Creek Watershed Management Plan – Reasonable Assurance Documentation. Reimbursement cost-share rates are capped at 50 percent for water quantity withdrawal reductions from the Upper Floridan aquifer or water quality improvements realized from decreasing the use of mineralized groundwater, and at 75 percent for both water quantity and water quality improvements.

FARMS Program staff received a proposal for a Phase II project with Hancock Grove located in south-central DeSoto County, approximately 15 miles upstream of the city of Punta Gorda's drinking water reservoir. The property drains to the east where surface water enters Myrtle Slough and continues into Prairie Creek. The Water Use Permit authorizes groundwater and surface water withdrawals up to an annual average daily quantity of 1,252,000 gallons per day (gpd). Reported groundwater use for the Hancock Grove is currently averaging approximately 80 percent of the total use. The primary goal of the project is to reduce Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals through the use of an existing 25 acre pond as an irrigation source. The reduction in use of groundwater in the Upper Floridan aquifer for irrigation and the subsequent increase in use of surface water will improve the water quality of Myrtle Slough. Irrigation wells that are currently used in the project area have shown specific conductivities as high as 2,329 uS/cm, which is well above the management level of 775 uS/cm identified in the Shell and Prairie Creek Watershed Management Plan. FARMS project components consist of two surface water irrigation pump stations, filtration, and the piping necessary to connect the proposed surface water reservoir system to the existing irrigation system.

167

Item 32.a. This site currently has a FARMS project that is in the third year of a five year contract term. This project has been successful in capturing and reusing surface water and tailwater for citrus irrigation. Over the period of record, this project has offset 248 million gallons of lower quality groundwater by using surface water, which averages 430,253 gpd. This amounts to 193.4 percent of the original projected groundwater offset. The second phase to this project will enhance the previous FARMS project goal by further reducing highly mineralized groundwater withdrawals by a conservative estimate of 76,980 gpd.

Benefits/CostsThe proposed project will reduce mineralized groundwater withdrawals and involves both water quantity and quality BMPs. Therefore, the project qualifies for a 75 percent cost-share reimbursement rate under the FARMS Program. Using an estimate of 30 percent savings of permitted quantities in the project area (8 percent of total permitted quantities), or approximately 76,980 gpd, yields a daily cost of $3.27 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over the proposed five-year contract term, and $0.98 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over a thirty-year term. Both projected values for groundwater savings costs are within the guidelines for the generally accepted average cost savings per thousand gallons for the implementation of alternative water supplies for flatwoods citrus operations. Total project costs are estimated at $400,000. The fiscal year 2008 State Appropriations will be used to fund one-half of the project reimbursement, with the remainder divided evenly between the Peace River Basin Board and the Governing Board. Upon approval, the Governing Board and Peace River Basin Board will have $1,125,402 and $141,421, respectively, remaining in their FARMS Program budgets.


(1) Approve the Billy H. Haygood, Trustee D Hancock Marital Trust – Hancock Grove Phase II FARMS Project for a not-to-exceed project reimbursement of $300,000, with $75,000 provided by the Peace River Basin, $75,000 provided by the Governing Board, and $150,000 provided from 2008 State Appropriations;

(2) Authorize the transfer of $75,000 from fund 020 H017 Peace River Basin FARMS funds, $75,000 from fund 010 H017 Governing Board FARMS funds, $150,000 from the 2008 State Appropriations allocated to fund 010 H017 FARMS funds, to 010 H516, Billy H. Haygood, Trustee D Hancock Marital Trust – Hancock Grove Phase II project fund;

(3) Authorize the Executive Director to execute the agreement.

Resource Management Committee Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems – Orange-Co, LP – DeSoto County

PurposeTo request approval for a Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) project with Orange-Co, LP and approval to reimburse FARMS eligible costs up to a not-to-exceed limit of $131,250 (75 percent of total project costs). Of this amount, the balance of the 2007 ($9,888) and $55,737 of the 2008 State Appropriations will be used for $65,625, the Governing Board is requested to fund $32,813 and the Peace River Basin Board is requested to fund $32,813. Total project costs are estimated at $175,000.

Background/History The District's FARMS Program, developed by the District and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) cost-share reimbursement program. FARMS is intended to expedite the implementation of production-scale agricultural BMPs that provide water resource benefits. Resource benefits of the FARMS Program include reduced Floridan aquifer withdrawals, water quality improvements (both from ground water and surface water sources) and/or conservation, and restoration and augmentation of the area's water resources and ecology. The District's emphasis through the FARMS Program is on reductions in Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals that will improve ground water conditions as documented in the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) recovery strategy. In addition, the District also provides funding for projects that improve water quality affected by the use of mineralized ground water as documented in the Shell and Prairie Creek Watershed Management Plan – Reasonable Assurance Documentation. Reimbursement cost-share rates are capped at 50 percent for water quantity withdrawal reductions from the Upper Floridan aquifer or water quality improvements realized from decreasing the use of mineralized ground water, and at 75 percent for both water quantity and water quality improvements. FARMS policy also allows for a 75 percent reimbursement if Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals will be reduced by 50 percent or more.

FARMS Program staff received a project proposal from Orange-Co, LP for their Section 29 Grove, a 111-acre citrus grove in DeSoto County. This project area is located within the 20,300-acre Joshua Creek Water Control District, which drains south into Prairie Creek and west into Joshua Creek. The annual average groundwater withdrawal authorized by their Water Use Permit to irrigate this grove by seepage is 300,140 gallons per day (gpd). Reported groundwater use since January 2004 has averaged five percent over the permitted amount, but this quantity is within the drought allowance and pumpage for the overall Water Use Permit is within compliance. The primary goal of the project is to reduce Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals through the construction and operation of a linear surface water irrigation reservoir, one surface water irrigation pump station, filtration, and the mainline piping necessary to connect the proposed surface water reservoir to a proposed, more efficient microjet irrigation system. The linear reservoir will be formed by placing two large culverts with adjustable risers within an existing internal drainage ditch and withdrawing water that will be stored behind the risers.

170

Item 32.b.

Benefits/CostsThe proposed project will reduce withdrawals from the Upper Floridian aquifer by more than 75 percent of permitted quantities over the project area, as well as improve water quality due to elevated levels of specific conductivity measured in ground water withdrawn from this well. The FARMS Program allows for a 75 percent reimbursement if Upper Floridian aquifer withdrawals are reduced by 50 percent or more. Using an estimated 75 percent savings of permitted quantities, or 225,100 gpd, yields a daily cost of $0.49 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over the proposed five-year contract term, and $0.15 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over a thirty-year term. Both values are within the guidelines for the generally accepted average cost savings per thousand gallons for the implementation of alternative supplies and improved irrigation techniques for flatwood citrus operations. The fiscal years 2007 and 2008 State Appropriations will be used to fund one-half of the project reimbursement, with the remainder divided evenly between the Peace River Basin Board and the Governing Board. Upon approval, the Governing Board and Peace River Basin Board will have $1,350,402 and $216,421, respectively, remaining in their FARMS Program budgets.


(1) Approve the Orange-Co, LP project for a not-to-exceed project reimbursement of $131,250 with $32,813 provided by the Peace River Basin, $32,813 provided by the Governing Board, and $65,625 provided from State Appropriations;

(2) Authorize the transfer of $32,813 from fund 020 H017 Peace River Basin Board FARMS funds, $32,813 from fund 010 H017 Governing Board FARMS funds, $9,888 from the 2007 State Appropriations allocated to fund 020 H017 FARMS funds, and $55,737 from the 2008 State Appropriations allocated to fund 010 H017 FARMS funds, to H555 Orange-Co, LP project fund;

Resource Management Committee Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems – Island Grove Agricultural Products, Farm 6 – DeSoto County

PurposeTo request approval for a Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) project with Island Grove Agricultural Products Farm #6 and approval to reimburse FARMS eligible costs up to a not-to-exceed limit of $285,000 (75 percent of total project costs). Of this amount, the 2008 State Appropriations will be used for $142,500, the Governing Board is requested to fund $71,250 and the Peace River Basin Board is requested to fund $71,250. Total project costs are estimated at $380,000.

Background/History The District's FARMS Program, developed by the District and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) cost-share reimbursement program. FARMS is intended to expedite the implementation of production-scale agricultural BMPs that provide water resource benefits. Resource benefits of the FARMS Program include reduced Floridan aquifer withdrawals, water quality improvements (both from ground water and surface water sources) and/or conservation, restoration and augmentation of the area's water resources and ecology.

Reimbursement cost-share rates are capped at 50 percent for water quantity withdrawal reductions from the Upper Floridan aquifer or water quality improvements realized from decreasing the use of mineralized ground water, and at 75 percent for both water quantity and water quality improvements. FARMS policy also allows for a 75 percent reimbursement if Upper Floridan withdrawals will be reduced by 50 percent or more.

FARMS Program staff received a project proposal from Island Grove, L.L.C. for their blueberry farm #6 located in the Myrtle Slough Watershed of Prairie Creek, east of State Road 31 in DeSoto County. Myrtle Slough drains to Prairie Creek which is approximately sixteen miles upgradient of the city of Punta Gorda's drinking water reservoir. The Water Use Permit authorizes an annual average groundwater withdrawal of 109,800 gallons per day (gpd) for the irrigation of 72 acres of blueberries from one well completed in the Upper Floridan aquifer. Prior to the property's acquisition by Island Grove L.L.C, the property was a citrus grove permitted for quantities less than 100,000 gpd, therefore, there is no history of reported pumpage. If the project is approved, the surface water withdrawal used for irrigation will be metered and reported to the District. This is the third FARMS project presented for approval to the Board with Island Grove Agricultural Products. The two existing projects are operational and have offsets that average 130,141 gpd, and 49,334 gpd, which are above projections. The primary goal of this project is to reduce Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals through the creation of a two-acre reservoir within an existing storm water and tailwater retention area. The project will also include the construction of a surface water irrigation pump station, filtration, and the piping necessary to connect the proposed surface water reservoir system to the existing irrigation system.

173

Item 32.c. Benefits/CostsThe proposed project involves reducing Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals by more than 50 percent of permitted quantities over the project area and qualifies for a 75 percent cost-share reimbursement rate under the FARMS Program. Using an estimate of 90 percent savings of permitted quantities for the project area, or approximately 100,000 gpd, yields a daily cost of $2.42 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over the proposed five-year contract term, and $0.73 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over a thirty-year term. Both projected values for groundwater savings costs are within the guidelines for the generally accepted average cost savings per thousand gallons for the implementation of alternative supplies for blueberry operations. Total project costs are estimated at $380,000. The fiscal year 2008 State Appropriations will be used to fund one-half of the project reimbursement, with the remainder divided evenly between the Peace River Basin Board and the Governing Board. Upon approval, the Governing Board and Peace River Basin Board will have $911,652 and $70,171, respectively, remaining in their FARMS Program budgets.


(1) Approve the Island Grove Agricultural Products Farm #6 FARMS Project for a not-to-exceed project reimbursement of $285,000, with $71,250 provided by the Peace River Basin Board, $71,250 provided by the Governing Board, and $142,500 provided from State Appropriations;

PurposeTo request approval for a Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) project with Landscaping, Sod, and Irrigation, Inc. and approval to reimburse FARMS eligible costs up to a not-to-exceed limit of $127,500 (75 percent of total project costs). Of this amount, the 2008 State Appropriations will be used for $63,750, the Governing Board is requested to fund $31,875, and the Peace River Basin Board is requested to fund $31,875. Total project costs are estimated at $170,000.

Background/History The District's FARMS Program, developed by the District and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) cost-share reimbursement program. FARMS is intended to expedite the implementation of production-scale agricultural BMPs that provide water resource benefits. Resource benefits of the FARMS Program include reduced Floridan aquifer withdrawals, water quality improvements (both from ground water and surface water sources) and/or conservation, restoration and augmentation of the area's water resources and ecology.

FARMS policy also allows for a 75 percent reimbursement if Upper Floridan withdrawals will be reduced by 50 percent or more.

FARMS Program staff received a project proposal from Landscaping, Sod, and Irrigation, Inc. for their sod farm located in the Hawthorne Creek Watershed of the Peace River, two miles east of U.S. Highway 17 in DeSoto County. The applicant has been growing sod on the property for more than 3 years, using a well not associated with a water use permit. A Water Use Permit was recently issued and authorizes an annual average groundwater withdrawal of 160,400 gallons per day (gpd) for the irrigation of 80 acres of sod from one proposed well to be completed in the Upper Floridan aquifer. The primary goal of this project is to replace the permitted Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawal through the use of two surface water reservoirs and the construction of two surface water irrigation pump stations, filtration, and the piping necessary to connect the proposed surface water reservoirs to the existing irrigation system.

Benefits/CostsThe proposed project involves replacing the permitted Upper Floridan aquifer well, which will reduce withdrawals by more than 50 percent of permitted quantities. Therefore, the project qualifies for a 75 percent cost-share reimbursement rate under the FARMS Program. Using an estimate of 80 percent savings of permitted quantities for the project area, or approximately 129,000 gpd, yields a daily cost of $0.83 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over the

176

Item 32.d. proposed five-year contract term, and $0.25 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over a thirty-year term. Both projected values for groundwater savings costs are within the guidelines for the generally accepted average cost savings per thousand gallons for the implementation of alternative supplies for sod operations. Total project costs are estimated at $170,000. The fiscal year 2008 State Appropriations will be used to fund one-half of the project reimbursement, with the remainder divided evenly between the Peace River Basin Board and the Governing Board. Upon approval, the Governing Board and Peace River Basin Board will have $816,027 and $38,296, respectively, remaining in their FARMS Program budgets.


(1) Approve the Landscaping, Sod, and Irrigation, Inc. FARMS Project for a not-to-exceed project reimbursement of $127,500, with $31,875 provided by the Peace River Basin Board, $31,875 provided by the Governing Board, and $63,750 provided from State Appropriations;

PurposeTo request approval for a Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) project with WFA Land Company, Inc. and approval to reimburse FARMS eligible costs up to a not-to-exceed limit of $135,000 (50 percent of total project costs). Of this amount, $67,500 of the 2005 State Appropriations will be used for one-half of the reimbursement, the Governing Board is requested to fund $33,750, and the Manasota Basin Board is requested to fund $33,750. Total project costs are estimated at $270,000.

Background/History The District's FARMS Program, developed by the District and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) cost-share reimbursement program. FARMS is intended to expedite the implementation of production-scale agricultural BMPs that provide water resource benefits. Resource benefits of the FARMS Program include reduced Floridan aquifer withdrawals, water quality improvements (both from ground water and surface water sources) and/or conservation, and restoration and augmentation of the area's water resources and ecology. The District's emphasis through the FARMS Program is on reductions of Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals that will improve ground water conditions as documented in the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) recovery strategy. In addition, the District also provides funding for projects that improve water quality affected by the use of mineralized ground water as documented in the Shell and Prairie Creek Watershed Management Plan – Reasonable Assurance Documentation. Reimbursement cost-share rates are capped at 50 percent for water quantity withdrawal reductions from the Upper Floridan aquifer or water quality improvements realized from decreasing the use of mineralized ground water, and at 75 percent for both water quantity and water quality improvements.

FARMS Program staff received a project proposal from WFA Land Company, Inc. for their 1,460 acre citrus grove and sod farm on the north fork of the Manatee River. The property is within the SWUCA and lies along the eastern boundary of the Most Impacted Area. The Water Use Permit for this grove authorizes an annual average groundwater withdrawal of 1,807,000 gallons per day (gpd) for the irrigation of 1,460 acres of citrus and sod from five wells completed in the Upper Floridan aquifer. The moving annual average as of April 28, 2008 is 2,005,037 gpd, or about 110 percent of permitted quantities but below their permitted drought quantity of 2,189,193 gpd. The primary goal of the project is to reduce Upper Floridan aquifer groundwater withdrawals through the use of an integrated irrigation system that will include two weather stations, soil moisture sensors, and automated pump controls for the five Upper Floridan wells to reduce the number and duration of irrigation events.

Benefits/CostsThe proposed project involves water quantity BMPs which qualifies for a 50 percent cost-share reimbursement rate under the FARMS Program. Using an estimated 10 percent savings of permitted quantities, or approximately 180,700 gpd, yields a daily cost of $.94 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over the proposed five-year contract term, and $0.28 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over a thirty-year term. Both values are within the

179

Item 32.e. guidelines for the generally accepted average cost savings per thousand gallons for the implementation of improved irrigation techniques for flatwood citrus operations. The fiscal year 2005 State Appropriations will be used for one-half of the reimbursement, with the remainder divided evenly between the Manasota Basin Board and the Governing Board. Upon approval, the Governing Board and Manasota Basin Board will have $547,902 and $1,212,642, respectively, remaining in their FARMS Program budgets.


(1) Approve the WFA Land Company, Inc. project for a not-to-exceed project reimbursement of $135,000 with $33,750 provided by the Manasota Basin Board, $33,750 provided by the Governing Board, and $67,500 provided from 2005 State Appropriations;

(2) Authorize the transfer of $33,750 from fund 010 H017 Governing Board FARMS funds, $33,750 from fund 021 H017 Manasota Basin Board FARMS funds, $67,500 from the 2005 State Appropriations allocated to fund 021 H017 Manasota Basin Board FARMS funds, to H558 WFA Land Company, Inc. project fund;

Resource Management Committee Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems – Balaban Farms, LLC – Hillsborough County

PurposeTo request approval for a Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) project with Balaban Farms, LLC, and approval to reimburse FARMS eligible costs up to a not-to-exceed limit of $312,500 (50 percent of total project costs). Of this amount, the 2008 State Appropriations will be used for 50 percent, or $156,250, of the reimbursement, the Governing Board share is 25 percent, or $78,125, and the Hillsborough River Basin Board share is 25 percent, or $78,125. The Hillsborough River Basin’s share will come from funds remaining in its FARMS Program budget, which total $33,437, and $44,688 will come from a transfer out of the Basin’s Water Supply and Resource Development Reserves. Total project costs are estimated at $625,000.

Background/History The District's FARMS Program, developed by the District and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) cost-share reimbursement program. FARMS is intended to expedite the implementation of production-scale agricultural BMPs that provide water resource benefits. Resource benefits of the FARMS Program include reduced Floridan aquifer withdrawals, water quality improvements (both from ground water and surface water sources) and/or conservation, restoration and augmentation of the area's water resources and ecology. The District's emphasis through the FARMS Program is on reductions in Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals that will improve ground water conditions as documented in the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) recovery strategy. In addition, the District also provides funding for projects that improve water quality affected by the use of mineralized ground water as documented in the Shell and Prairie Creek Watershed Management Plan – Reasonable Assurance Documentation. Reimbursement cost-share rates are capped at 50 percent for water quantity withdrawal reductions from the Upper Floridan aquifer or water quality improvements realized from decreasing the use of mineralized ground water, and at 75 percent for both water quantity and water quality improvements.

FARMS Program staff received a proposal for a project with Balaban Farms, LLC for a farm located in the Hillsborough River watershed, in north-central Hillsborough County, within the Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area. The property drains predominantly to the west where surface water enters Flint Creek and continues into the Hillsborough River. The previous Water Use Permit authorizes a standard annual average groundwater withdrawal of 255,000 gallons per day (gpd for 55 acres of citrus from two Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals. The citrus grove has been destroyed due to disease and is being converted to strawberries and row crops. The Water Use Permit is currently in house for a modification due to the crop change, however, the expected annual average groundwater withdrawal that will be allowed under the permit modification will remain at 255,000 gpd. Due to the location of the property within the Hillsborough River Groundwater Basin, there cannot be an increase in groundwater irrigation quantities. Prior to removal of the citrus grove, the reported water use was approximately 45 percent of their permitted quantities. In the past six months, since the conversion of citrus to row crop, the water use averages approximately 70 percent of the expected permitted quantities. The primary goal of the project is to reduce Upper Floridan aquifer groundwater withdrawals through the installation and automation of three surface water irrigation pump

182

Item 32.f. stations, filtration, and the piping necessary to connect the designed tailwater interception and surface water reservoir system to the existing irrigation system. The tailwater interception and surface water reservoir system will consist of three reservoirs of approximately 3 acres, 3.3 acres, and 4.5 acres.

Benefits/CostsThe proposed project involves water quantity BMPs and therefore, the project qualifies for a 50 percent cost-share reimbursement rate under the FARMS Program. Using an estimate of 50 percent savings of permitted quantities, or approximately 127,500 gpd, yields a daily cost of $1.91 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over the proposed nine-year contract term, and $0.93 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over a thirty-year term. Both projected values for groundwater savings costs are within the guidelines for the generally accepted average cost savings per thousand gallons for the implementation of alternative water supplies on row crop operations. Total project costs are estimated at $625,000. The fiscal year 2008 State Appropriations will be used to fund one-half of the project reimbursement with the remainder divided evenly between the Hillsborough River Basin Board and the Governing Board. Upon approval, the Governing Board and the Hillsborough River Basin Board will have $581,652 and $0, respectively, remaining in their FARMS Program budgets. The Hillsborough River Basin Water Supply and Resource Development Reserves will have $3,879,802 remaining.


(1) Approve the Balaban Farms, LLC FARMS Project for a not-to-exceed project reimbursement of $312,500, with $44,688 provided from the Hillsborough River Basin Water Supply and Resource Development Reserves, $33,437 provided by the Hillsborough River Basin, $78,125 provided by the Governing Board, and $156,250 provided from 2008 State Appropriations;

Item 33.a.


Resource Management Committee Surface Water Improvement and Management Program – Sawgrass Lake Restoration Project

PurposeThis is an action item requesting approval of an agreement between the City of St. Petersburg and the District to relocate an existing 36-inch potable water transmission line as part of the Sawgrass Lake Restoration Project. The District will fund the project at a total estimated cost of $800,000, the funds to come from the existing project reserve, which currently has $18,599,530 available. The relocation of the pipeline was anticipated in the approved remedial action plan.

Background/HistoryTesting conducted at the District-owned Sawgrass Lake Park Water Management Area (WMA), including field testing conducted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and a Contamination Assessment Report completed in August 2000 by SCS Engineers, Inc., documented contaminated conditions in the area of the WMA and the adjacent Skyway Trap and Skeet Club property. Elevated levels of lead and arsenic were found in surface waters, soils, sediments and ground water. The area of contamination is coincident with portions of the Sawgrass Lake Park WMA used as a drop-zone for spent shot and where contaminants associated with the spent shot have migrated. The source of the spent shot is from skeet and trap shooting activities conducted west of the District's ownership.

Several years of litigation and new state legislation passed in April 2004 resulted in a settlement agreement between the District and the Skyway Trap and Skeet Club. Under the terms of the agreement, the District will undertake removal of lead shot and other contaminants from areas within the Sawgrass Lake Park WMA. Independently, the Skyway Trap and Skeet Club will be responsible for cleanup of its property. The settlement agreement also requires a transfer of ownership of five acres of District lands to the gun club. In exchange for receiving title to five acres of District lands, the Skyway Trap and Skeet Club will surrender the perpetual easement it holds over District lands east of the south inflow canal. The gun club also agreed to construct a shot barrier to prevent shot from entering District property in the future.

On December 11, 2007, the FDEP approved the District’s Remedial Action Plan (RAP), which summarizes the contamination assessment, feasibility study findings, risk-based site cleanup goals, and outlines a cleanup strategy for the site. Subsequent to approval of the RAP, the District and FDEP developed a Rehabilitation and Reclamation Agreement, to replace the original 2001 FDEP Consent Order. The terms of the Rehabilitation and Reclamation Agreement require the District to clean up contaminated areas within the Sawgrass Lake Park WMA in accordance with state regulations and guidelines and includes a schedule approved by both parties. The Rehabilitation and Reclamation Agreement was fully executed in March 2008. With the FDEP's approval of the RAP and Rehabilitation and Reclamation Agreement, the District has initiated the design and permitting phase of the project. Construction and remediation are anticipated to begin in 2009.

On March 25, 2008 as part of preliminary design work, District staff met with representatives of the City of St. Petersburg Water Resources Department (City) to discuss the relocation of an existing 36-inch water transmission line that is currently located in the area to be excavated for lead contamination remediation per the approved RAP. Based on discussions with the City, the

185

Item 33.a. water transmission line will be relocated around the cleanup and restoration area prior to construction to avoid damage and potential interruptions in service. The City has requested to be the lead entity responsible for the design, permitting, and construction of the water main relocation. The City had no plans to replace this section of the water transmission line and does not have funds budgeted for its relocation. The District anticipated funding the relocation of the water transmission line and this was included in the cost estimate detailed in the RAP. The City developed a cost estimate for the design and construction of the water transmission line relocation and it is comparable with the estimate included in the RAP.

Other Sawgrass Lake Restoration project activities separate from the Rehabilitation and Reclamation Agreement, include the development of a plan to improve the quality of water discharging from Sawgrass Lake to Tampa Bay. This plan includes conceptual designs and cost estimates for best management practice (BMP) alternatives to reduce nutrient loadings to Tampa Bay. The recommended water quality BMPs will be incorporated into the final design of the remediation project.

Benefits/CostsThe principal elements of this project will result in the cleanup and restoration of water resources and wetland areas within the Sawgrass Lake Park WMA. Site cleanup and reclamation of spent shot from the drop zone area will remove lead and associated contaminants from the system. Water quality BMPs will reduce potential nutrient loadings to Tampa Bay. The cost estimate for the required cleanup of the site, detailed in the RAP, is approximately $19,900,000, which includes $800,000 for the relocation of the water transmission line. A cost estimate for implementation of the water quality BMPs is approximately $4,500,000. Over the past several years (fiscal year [FY] 2005 – [FY] 2008) the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board budgeted a total of $18,599,530 for this project, which includes $1,000,000 of State appropriated funds for Tampa Bay. There is currently $18,015,386 available for design, permitting, and construction. The proposed FY2009 budget includes $4,500,000, for construction of the water quality BMPs. This additional $4,500,000 is based on updated cost estimates for the project. Additionally, staff is pursuing other potential outside funding sources for implementation of this project.


Approve the agreement with the City of St. Petersburg for the relocation of the City's water transmission line for an amount not to exceed $800,000 and authorize the Executive Director to sign the agreement. Funds to come from the existing reserve (in B085).

Item 33.b.


Resource Management Committee Surface Water Improvement and Management Program - Clam Bayou Stormwater Treatment and Habitat Restoration Project

PurposeTo amend a contract with the City of St. Petersburg to add project funds in the amount of $200,000 to complete land acquisition tasks and authorize the Executive Director to send a letter to the City of St. Petersburg formally requesting that the City pursue condemnation proceedings to acquire the final properties necessary for the Clam Bayou Stormwater Treatment and Habitat Restoration Project.

Background/HistoryClam Bayou is a 90-acre estuary system located off the eastern reaches of Boca Ciega Bay, part of Tampa Bay. Public land holdings immediately surrounding the bayou include 130-acres owned by the District, St. Petersburg and Gulfport for water quality or habitat preservation/restoration purposes. Recognizing an opportunity to improve water quality and increase habitat utilization in Clam Bayou beginning in 1994, the three entities have partnered on projects aimed at achieving these objectives and have entered into a tri-party management agreement for long-term maintenance of the project lands.

Two phases of the Clam Bayou project have been completed and District staff is currently working on a third phase. Phases 1 and 2 of the project were completed in 1995 and 2001, respectively. Under these phases, the District, with financial assistance from the cities of St. Petersburg and Gulfport, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, restored 20 acres of coastal habitat, created park lands, and provided stormwater treatment in portions of Clam Bayou within both Gulfport and St. Petersburg. The total cost of those projects was approximately $420,000. The District is also the lead entity implementing Phase 3 and has budgeted and encumbered approximately $8 million for land acquisition, design, permitting, and construction. Once complete, this phase will address primary issues impacting the bayou – sedimentation, trash accumulation and nutrients from untreated stormwater originating in St. Petersburg and Gulfport. Phase 3 will also restore coastal habitats and provide land for a recreational trail (extension of the 34-mile long Pinellas Trail), which will connect several local schools and provide scenic views of the restored areas. The City of St. Petersburg is leading the design and construction of the trail.

The District entered into a cooperative funding agreement with the City of St. Petersburg in October 2005 for the acquisition of land needed to address the stormwater treatment elements of Phase 3. Under the terms of this agreement, the District is reimbursing the City for the actual land purchase price up to a maximum of $900,000. To date, the City has acquired a total of 65 lots and has one additional lot under contract. Four lots remain that the City has not successfully obtained purchase agreements with the owners. Without two of these lots, one of the three stormwater ponds cannot be constructed as planned. The City is working diligently to acquire these properties and has indicated that they will pursue condemnation proceedings at the District's request. The Pinellas-Anclote Basin, at its June 4, 2008 meeting, authorized the Executive Director to send a letter to the City of St. Petersburg formally requesting the City pursue condemnation proceedings to acquire the final properties necessary for this project. The city has also requested additional funding to complete the land acquisitions. The City and District estimates the cost to acquire the final five lots may be a total of $351,000 including the costs associated with condemnation. A total of $151,800 of the original total budget for land remains. Therefore, the City is requesting an additional $200,000 for land acquisition and condemnation proceedings. The additional $200,000 will come from funds currently allocated in W242 for land acquisition costs.

187

Item 33.b.

Design of the final phase is nearing completion. The permit application should be submitted by September 2008 and permits received by November 2008. Upon receipt of the permits, the request for bids will be advertised. Once bids are received, the District will enter into a construction agreement and commence construction. It is anticipated construction will commence by March 2009 and be completed by December 2009.

At the April 2, 2008, Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board meeting in Gulfport, the Basin Board members heard presentations from District staff as well as from local citizens regarding the restoration efforts currently underway. Although the parties seem to agree the proposed projects address key issues in the bayou, those individuals representing City of Gulfport and local citizen interests are of the opinion that the project stops short in a complete restoration effort because the District currently did not have plans for dredging in the bayou. The District considered sediment removal throughout the bayou as a component of the restoration when it was finishing the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) plan for the bayou in 1999. A sediment study was conducted by the FDEP and the United States Geological Survey in 2002 on behalf of the District. This study focused on the condition of the existing sediments in the bayou, not on the source of the sediments, as it is recognized by all that they have been transported into the system from urban runoff in areas of St. Petersburg and Gulfport developed prior to the State's implementation of stormwater regulations. In addition, historic dredge and fill activities have greatly altered the configuration and the tidal circulation of the bayou by filling approximately 28-acres of bay bottom. The analysis of the sediments included quality and habitat value parameters. The results indicated that the sediment quality is similar to that found throughout Tampa Bay and the system functions as a mangrove dominated mudflat, supporting typical biota found in other areas of Tampa Bay. Clam Bayou is a shallow low-energy system supporting wildlife typical of such environments. Based on the environmental benefits attributed to mangrove-dominated mudflats, dredging has not been part of the District's planned restoration activities. This is consistent with the District's approach to habitat restoration in Tampa Bay and other estuarine systems. The information generated by the study, and the need for dredging, was discussed among the scientific community associated with the Agency on Bay Management (ABM) at a meeting April 12, 2007, at the request of Senator Bill Nelson. The ABM group, which reviewed the data and resulting recommendations, was made up of scientists and program managers from the Hillsborough County, Manatee County, Pinellas County, the cities of St Petersburg and Clearwater, FDEP, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Marine Fisheries, Florida's Coastal Islands Sanctuaries, Tampa Bay Estuary Program, and Tampa Bay Watch. The consensus of the group supported the District's restoration plan and agreed with the conclusion that dredging would not improve habitat value in Clam Bayou.

As directed by the Basin Board, staff scientists reviewed the issue of improving tidal flushing in Clam Bayou. District staff member, Dr. XinJian Chen, P.E., a nationally recognized specialist in hydrodynamic and water quality modeling, was consulted regarding the effects of removing sediments from the bayou on tidal flushing. Dr. Chen indicated tidal circulation would be marginally improved with sediment removal at depths within the zone of tidal fluctuation, which is estimated at depths to -0.5 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) elevation. He also indicated dredging at deeper depths within the navigational channel would not improve tidal circulation but would serve to improve navigational access. The District's statutory authority, as determined in a recent legal review (Exhibit A) does not extend to maintenance dredging of an existing water body solely to improve navigation. Therefore, in the case of Clam Bayou, dredging to improve habitat and/or water quality is consistent with the District's authority and mission, but, navigational dredging is not. Since the April Basin Board meeting staff performed a survey of reported "choke points" along the main channel of the bayou that was previously dredged in an effort to quantify the material within the tidal zone. Results of this effort indicate that tidal flushing could be minimally improved by removing material that is exposed on extreme low tides. The actual amount of material is estimated to be less than 1,000 cubic yards, however, additional analysis will be performed to better quantify this amount. It is important to note that the area along the main channel considered for dredging functions as a productive, natural, mudflat environment with oyster beds, marsh grasses, and mangroves located in close

188

Item 33.b.proximity. Funds in the amount of $50,000 have been added to the Pinellas-Anclote River Basins FY2009 budget to perform the dredging project.

In addition to sedimentation, the accumulation of trash and debris in Clam Bayou is a major concern. The stormwater projects currently in design will address this, however, there are known areas in the bayou with large debris and accumulated trash, such as shopping carts and garbage cans that act as sediment traps when lodged in the channels. District staff is looking at partnering with St. Petersburg and Gulfport on a new, more in-depth plan to remove large submerged objects known to exist in the bayou. In addition, the current plan contains a component to perform a "clean sweep" to remove visible trash from the estuary following the completion of the stormwater ponds. This will be accomplished either through volunteer efforts organized by the partners or through procurement of a contractor to remove trash and large debris. Funds in the amount of $50,000 have been added to the Pinellas-Anclote River Basins FY2009 budget to perform the debris removal project.

District regulatory and project management staff also inspected the channel east of the Twin Brooks Golf Course. At the time of the visit, no regulatory violations were noted. The City of St. Petersburg was in the process of removing exotic vegetation and stabilizing the banks with fill and concrete/tile rubble. District regulatory staff noted that the practice employed is an acceptable method and the quantity of material represented a "deminimus" amount that would not be subject to permitting. Streambank erosion is a common problem contributing to sedimentation, especially in highly urbanized areas such as Pinellas County. The District has in the past partnered with local governments on streambank protection projects. District staff recently discussed, with the City of St. Petersburg, options to incorporate erosion control at the channel east of the Twin Brooks Golf Course into the Phase 3 project. The City indicated they do not have funds, but are able to provide in-kind services, such as construction inspection services for the Phase 3 construction. Funds in the amount of $200,000 have been added to the Pinellas-Anclote River Basins FY2009 budget to perform the streambank protection project.

Benefits/CostsThe total current project budget for Phase 3, including land acquisition by the City of St. Petersburg, is $8,047,800. The District's share of the current project budget totals $6 million, of which $1 million is funded by State Appropriations, $500,000 is funded by an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Grant specifically for construction, and the remainder is divided, $1,850,000 from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board and $2,650,000 from State SWIM funds. The City of St. Petersburg land purchases total $2,047,800, of which $300,000 was funded by City funds, $750,000 was funded by a Florida Communities Trust Fund Grant, and $997,800 was funded by an EPA Grant. The proposed FY2009 budget includes $300,000 for erosion control measures at the Twin Brooks Golf Course ($200,000), debris removal ($50,000), and dredging along the navigational channel to improve tidal circulation ($50,000).


(1) Approve the amendment with the City of St. Petersburg to provide an additional $200,000 from funding currently allocated in W242 for land acquisition costs, including potential condemnation costs, and authorize the Executive Director to sign the agreement; and

(2) Authorize the Executive Director to send a letter to the City of St. Petersburg formally requesting that the City pursue condemnation proceedings to acquire the final properties necessary for the Clam Bayou Stormwater Treatment and Habitat Restoration Project.

May 20, 2008 MEMORANDUM TO: David L. Moore, Executive Director FROM: William S. Bilenky, General Counsel SUBJECT: District Authority to undertake dredging for the sole purpose of

improving navigation for the benefit of a small number of waterfront property owners.

Question: The question is whether the District has authority to seek an environmental resource permit and sovereign submerged lands authorization from the Department of Environmental Protection to maintenance dredge Clam Bayou exclusively for the purpose of improving navigation for the benefit of a limited group of individual waterfront property owners. Short Answer: The District's statutory authority does not extend to maintenance dredging of an existing water body solely to improve navigation. Improving a channel solely for the benefit of a limited group of individual property owners would not be good public policy. Analysis: The District's only statutory authority with respect to improving navigability is found in section 373.016 (3)(i), Florida Statutes (F. S.) that states: "It is further declared to be the policy of the Legislature . . . (t)o promote recreational development, protect public lands, and assist in maintaining navigability of rivers and harbors;" There are no cases directly interpreting section 373.016(3)(i), F. S. so it must be interpreted using the "plain meaning" of the words used by the Legislature. GTC, Inc. v. Edgar, 967 So. 2d 781 (Fla. 2007). Authority for maintenance of rivers and harbors is expressly delegated by the Congress to the Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, 33 U.S.C. Sections 401 et seq. U.S. v. Joseph G. Moretti, Inc., 478 F.2d 418 (C.A.5, 1973). The Army Corps of Engineers is primarily concerned with dredging and filling and has no mission statement with regard to the protecting of the environment. Sierra Club v. Flowers, 423 F.Supp.2d 1273 (S. D. Fla., 2006). The Legislature has granted the District limited authority to assist with maintaining navigability but has not granted the authority to "initiate or undertake" maintaining navigability. The Legislature is also presumed to know when it uses language such as the term "assist" that primary authority to carry out that function is vested in another entity such as the Army Corps of Engineers. State ex rel. Christian v. Austin, 302 So.2d 811 (Fla. App. 1st 1974) (Assist found to mean "to give support or aid.) Nothing in section 373.016, F. S. authorizes the District to initiate or undertake dredging in a river or harbor, but instead is limited to assisting others in the performance

Page 1 of 2

190

of that function. The statutory language also places a second limitation on the District's authority to conduct maintenance dredging. That authority is limited to maintenance of navigability within rivers and harbors. This is keeping with the authority delegated by Congress to the Army Corps of Engineers. There is no delegation to the District to initiate or undertake dredging or maintenance dredging of lesser water bodies, outside of rivers and harbors and no authority to do so except while assisting another agency of the state or federal government. While it is true that the project is exclusively for the purpose of improving navigability, it is not assisting the Corps in the activity, nor is the proposed project to be conducted within a river or harbor. Therefore section 373.016 (3)(i), F. S. has no applicability to this proposed dredging. Other districts cite the authority of section 373.086, F. S. to define certain water bodies as "works of the district" as enabling them "to clean out, straighten, enlarge or change the course of any water body within the district." However, this District has repealed all rules identifying various water bodies as "works of the district." 40D-6.011, Florida Administrative Code. Therefore, the District has not identified Clam Bayou as a "work of the district" and section 373.086, F. S. has no applicability to this proposed dredging. All expenditure of public funds should be based upon sound policy considerations. Dredging of the Clam Bayou for the purpose of improving the navigation for a limited group of waterfront property owners would certainly raise a question whether such an expenditure is good public policy. It is difficult to imagine how the taxpayers in the sixteen counties of the district would benefit from the proposed dredging. It seems reasonably clear that the dredging is for the sole and exclusive benefit of a limited number of individual property owners on Clam Bayou who are seeking to have better navigability to and from their properties. Those individuals are capable of seeking the necessary permits to undertake such a project. The ultimate benefit that would most likely arise from improving the navigation would almost exclusively inure to the benefit of those property owners. As such, it is easy to conclude that the use of public funds to enhance a few individuals' property values would be unreasonable. Certainly, the District may undertake to dredge a water body incident to a surface water improvement project where it is authorized pursuant to the delegated authority to improve the water quality or for flood protection. Those projects can be shown to meet a public interest test. However, there is no authority to undertake such a project where it is solely for the purpose of improving navigation for individual waterfront property owners. Conclusion: Therefore, I must conclude that the initiation of maintenance dredging of Clam Bayou by the District solely for the purpose of improving navigability for a limited group of property owners is not authorized by Florida law.

Item 33.c.


Resource Management Committee Surface Water Improvement and Management Program – Urban Lake Rescue

PurposeTo request approval of the first amendment to the agreement with the City of Tampa to provide an additional $136,916 for construction of the Urban Lake Rescue Project for Lake Roberta and Lake Kipling (W268).

Background/History The District, on behalf of the Hillsborough River and Northwest Hillsborough Basin Boards, entered into a Cooperative Funding Agreement with the City of Tampa in May 2006 for the Urban Lake Rescue Project to improve water quality and restore habitat in three urban lakes (Lake Edna, Lake Roberta and Lake Kipling). Lake Kipling is tidally connected to Tampa Bay which is a District Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) priority water body; Lakes Edna and Roberta discharge to the Hillsborough River, a major tributary to Tampa Bay. Lake Edna is a 1.75 acre lake located in the Wellswood neighborhood; Lake Roberta is a 2.2 acre lake located in Seminole Heights; and Lake Kipling is a 2.1 acre lake located in Sunset Park; all three lakes are within the City of Tampa. The lakes are heavily silted from years of untreated stormwater inflow, the contributing drainage basin areas are highly urbanized, and in each case, stormwater passes through the lakes without much water quality treatment, adversely impacting these systems and down-stream receiving water bodies. This project involves the evaluation, design, permitting and construction of three separate lake projects. The City of Tampa is taking the lead in these activities and is responsible for long-term maintenance of the project. District funding was based on the City’s cooperative funding request and is for design, permitting and construction of the projects.

Benefits/CostsThe objectives of the project include lake habitat restoration, erosion control, water quality treatment, and citizen involvement and education. The District's total contribution to this project (including all three lakes) is $420,000, of which $103,000 is from the Hillsborough River Basin, $107,000 is from the Northwest Hillsborough Basin, and $210,000 is from State SWIM funds. The City's matching contribution of $420,000 is from an established Capital Improvement Program for the lake improvement project. The anticipated construction cost for Lake Roberta was $232,000 and $367,000 for Lake Kipling.

Design and permitting of the Lake Roberta portion of the project was completed in September 2007. The City is the lead agency responsible for the project design, construction, and long-term operation and maintenance and advertised a request for bid in July 2007 to secure a contractor to construct the project. All bids exceeded the amount budgeted for construction. The low bidder, Kamminga & Roodvoets Contracting, placed a bid of $315,909, which exceeded the budgeted amount by $83,909. In order to move forward with construction in this fiscal year, the City is using $83,909 from the City's Stormwater Funds and is requesting the District to reimburse 50 percent ($41,955) to meet the funding shortfall.

Design and permitting of the Lake Kipling portion of the project were completed in February 2008. The City is the lead agency responsible for the project design, construction, and long-term operation and maintenance and advertised a request for bid in February 2008 to secure a contractor to construct the project. All bids exceeded the amount budgeted for construction.

Item 36

Consent AgendaJune 24, 2008 Finance and Administration Committee Approve Budget Transfer for Computer Model Software Upgrades PurposeThis is a request to transfer funds within Regulation Performance Management to purchase the most recent versions of ICPR©, CHAN©, and PONDS© computer modeling software and to train Resource Regulation staff in the use of this software in the review of Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) applications. The amount of the requested budget transfer is $117,000.

Background ICPR©, CHAN©, and PONDS© software are used by consultants submitting ERP applications and by Resource Regulation staff evaluating those applications. All three of these software packages are desk top tools for engineers that will be needed during and after WMIS; these do not affect IRD's five-year Plan or the development of WMIS. Two of these software packages (ICPR©, and PONDS©) were recently upgraded, necessitating follow-up training of staff. Although the CHAN© model has not been updated for several years, several regional watershed studies being developed by the District to upgrade FEMA maps use this software product. It is anticipated that permit applicants will be relying on approved District watershed studies to generate information required in an ERP application. More frequent use of all three modeling software packages is expected to occur in association with ERP application submittal.

Benefits/CostsThe proposed training will be provided at District offices, reducing travel costs. Registration costs are significantly reduced compared to training otherwise available outside the District. The following is an estimate of costs to provide software upgrades and "hands-on" staff training by an outside consultant at the District's Brooksville and Tampa computer training centers:

SOFTWARE NUMBER OF UPGRADES COST NUMBER

TRAINED COST TOTAL ITEM COST

CHAN© None at this time $0.00 50 $22,500 $22,500 ICPR© 35 $35,000 50 $22,500 $57,500 PONDS© 27 $12,000 50 $25,000 $37,000 TOTALS $47,000 $70,000 $117,000

Impact If Not Funded If not funded, District staff will no longer be current with changing technology and will be unable to adequately evaluate permit applications using the upgraded software or to verify information submitted based on District approved watershed studies.


Approve the budget transfer within Regulation Performance Management in the amount of $117,000 for CHAN©, ICPR©, and PONDS© computer modeling software upgrades and associated staff training.

Item 37

Consent AgendaJune 24, 2008 Finance and Administration Committee Geographic Information System Site License

PurposeConvert existing Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) Geographic Information System (GIS) product licenses into a comprehensive software Enterprise Site License that spans three years, fiscal year (FY) 2008 to FY2010. The conversion to a site license will reduce the total three-year outlay by $767,492 and provide for business continuity and increasing demand for no additional investment in individual licenses. This is consistent with the Information Resources Department (IRD) Five-Year Technology Plan, FY2009 to FY2013.

Background ESRI's GIS software has been used at the District for over 20 years. It is the foundation for the District's spatial data analysis capacity and its importance as a key District technology continues to grow. It is now the cornerstone of the Water Management Information System (WMIS), the Land Resources Information System (LaRIS), the Geographic Watershed Information System (GWIS) and soon to be incorporated in the Project Information Management System (PIMS). As identified in the Information Resources Department (IRD) Five-Year Technology Plan, FY2009 to FY2013, these systems will require supporting GIS technologies to ensure the investment generates the envisioned capability. Additionally, continual changes in the underlying hardware and software architecture will necessitate new GIS licenses on servers and on District workstations. For example, the planned conversion from the UNIX operating system to the lower cost LINUX operating system will require different licensing. The planned use of the Tampa Data Center as a business continuity location will also require additional hardware, and the resulting need for additional GIS licenses.

Benefits/CostsThe conversion to an ESRI Enterprise License provides a potential three-year cost savings of $767,492 through the use of existing FY2008 funding from the Information Resources Department (IRD) and a budget transfer from the Mapping and GIS section. A prorated portion of the current year investment in GIS software license maintenance will be applied to this conversion. In addition to the District's current GIS software needs, a site license would afford cost avoidance of $640,000 associated with the potential software needs for: business continuity; increased District-wide use of GIS licenses in support of WMIS, LaRIS, GWIS and PIMS; and increased flexibility for server configurations. A budget transfer of $155,461 from Mapping and GIS to IRD is part of this license conversion project

Item 37

* The $364,333 site license cost and $208,872 funding from the IRD budget assumes the ESRI Enterprise Site License is signed in July 2008 and remaining software maintenance is prorated against the $405,000 first year cost. The first year cost will not exceed $405,000. Subsequent years will be budgeted at $422,000 and $439,000 in FY2009 and FY2010, respectively.

Impact If Not Funded Without an ESRI Enterprise license for GIS software, the District would spend at least $767,492 more to meet current and planned GIS-related requirements over the next three years. These Licenses support a business continuity project in the Tampa Service Office, the build out of WMIS, LaRIS, GWIS and PIMS and accommodate changes in the District's architecture as we move to the LINUX operating System and higher capacity servers


(1) Authorize the District's Executive Director to execute a three-year software enterprise site license agreement with the Environmental Systems Research Institute for a total cost not to exceed $1,266,000 subject to annual appropriation by the Governing Board as part of the District's annual adopted budget for fiscal years 2009 and 2010; and

(2) Authorize a $155,461 budget transfer from the Mapping and GIS Section, Operations Department to the Information Resources Department to fund the ESRI software site license agreement.

Item 38

Consent AgendaJune 24, 2008 Finance and Administration Committee Enhanced Data Submittal Web Portal

PurposeTransfer a total of $171,000 from the Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) pilot ($81,000) and Flow Meter Accuracy Testing ($90,000) projects to the Information Resources Department The added capability will create an improved web portal to collect water use information. This portal is an addition to the existing core Water Management Information System (WMIS) project and requires additional funding not included in the currently approved WMIS budget.

Background The Governing Board approved funding for the AMR and for outsourcing of the Flow Meter Accuracy Testing projects in the FY2008 budget. The intent of these projects was to help the District improve the quality and quantity of water use pumpage data.

The AMR pilot project uses a satellite to transmit withdrawal level pumpage data to a third party that sends the data to the District via the internet. Pending the successful outcome of the pilot project, the intent was to expand the data collection District wide. The original pilot project provided was successful and needs to continue for the District to assess the AMR technology before this technology is expanded to specific critical sites. One of the lessons learned from the pilot project is that the current cost of the AMR system may make it prohibitive for a large scale expansion of the project beyond the current pilot project. Therefore, staff has investigated economical alternatives to a large AMR system. The recommended alternative was to develop a water use reporting web portal that would provide quality data to the planned WMIS functionality.

There are over 5,500 permits in the District that are required to report metered pumpage data. To ensure the accuracy of this information, the District provided funds to outsource the meter accuracy testing for a representative number of these sites. This year as a result of the 2003 implementation of the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) rule, many permittees had their flow meters tested on their own; therefore, the full budgeted amount for this project is not needed.

The WMIS consultant provided a written cost estimate of $171,000, to design and create the data submittal portal. This portal will be designed to improve the quality and quantity of water use data and interact with existing and planned WMIS capabilities. In addition to pumpage data, the portal will collect crop reporting forms that have historically been submitted in paper format. Data will be compared to historical information and if needed, users will be prompted to make any corrections before the data is entered into the District's database system. This portal will allow the users to compare their reported information to historical and regional data. In addition, the portal will include features to reduce water use, reduce pumpage costs, and save fuel. The portal will feature climatic and hydrological data for the permittees to use. There will be graphics, graphs, and other objects to entice the permittees to use this page for data submittal and analysis.

Benefits/CostThe transfer of $171,000 to IRD for the creation of a web data submittal portal is a cost effective way to improve on the quality and quantity of reported water use data in WMIS. The portal will provide some data quality control and will entice permittees to use this system. In addition, this portal will collect crop reporting data, making it easier for the permittees and the District to process water use information through WMIS.

201

Item 38 Impact if Not Funded: Currently reported water use data quality and quantity will continue to make it difficult for the District to make data based resource decisions within WMIS. Also, the District will continue to need additional resources to try and resolve pumpage data quality and quantity issues. In addition, water conservation tools to help permittees reduce their water use will not be available.


Approve the transfer of $171,000 from the AMR Pilot and Outsourced Flow Meter Accuracy Projects to the Information Resources Department to create an enhanced web data submittal portal with graphics, graphs, and tools to help permittees conserve water.

General Counsel’s Report Consent Order – WUP No. 20002978.008 - Gulf Landings Development Corporation, Pasco Reserve, Inc., and Lindrick Service Corporation – Pasco County

On January 28, 2003, the District issued Water Use Permit No. 20002978.008 to Gulf Landings Development Corporation, Pasco Reserve, Inc., and Lindrick Service Corporation (collectively, the "Permittees"), authorizing water withdrawals of 870,000 gallons per day (gpd) on an annual average basis, and 1,305,000 gpd on a peak month basis. The water is withdrawn from eight wells for public supply use in areas that are commonly known as "Gulf Harbors" and "Shamrock Heights" in Pasco County.

On August 9, 2006, District staff issued to Permittees a Notice of Non-Compliance advising that the annual average quantity withdrawn for the 12-month period ending June 2006 was 882,547 gpd, approximately 1.4% in excess of the permitted quantity.

From the issuance of the Notice of Non-Compliance until May 2007, the withdrawals by the Permittee continued to exceed the permitted quantity. Accordingly, in an attempt to resolve this matter, on February 15, 2007, the District mailed a proposed Consent Order to Permittee calling for the payment of $956.00 in penalties and costs, which includes the following:

$706.00 for the overpumpage of permitted quantities pursuant to the overpumpage formula; and,

$250.00 in District enforcement costs.

The Permittees responded by letter on March 6, 2007, in which they questioned the calculations used by the District in figuring the overpumpage amounts.

After discovering a transcription error in the pumpage data submitted by Permittees, the District issued a revised proposed Consent Order, mailed to the Permittees on December 31, 2007, which provided for the payment of $442.00 in penalties and costs, which includes the following:

$192.00 for the overpumpage of permitted quantities pursuant to the overpumpage formula using the corrected data; and,

$250.00 in District enforcement costs.

This proposed Consent Order also requires the Permittees to submit to the District a compliance plan demonstrating how compliance will be achieved within a certain timeframe.

The Permittees have tendered payment for the full amount and the District has received the signed Consent Order.


Approve the proposed Consent Order and authorize the initiation of litigation against Gulf Landings Development Corporation, Pasco Reserve, Inc., and Lindrick Service Corporation to obtain compliance with the Consent Order.

Presenter: Carrie N. Felice, Staff Attorney

General Counsel’s Report Final Order of Dismissal with Prejudice – EX No. 5523 - Diehl Family Limited Partnership v. SWFWMD – Hillsborough County

On April 4, 2008, the District issued a notice of final agency action (Notice) to Diehl Family Limited Partnership (Diehl) informing it that the information submitted in support of Exemption Inquiry (EX) No. 5523 had been reviewed by the District, and that the District had determined that an Environmental Resource Permit will be required for the project known as Balm Farm Worker Housing located in Hillsborough County. The Notice expressly provided that any person whose substantial interests are affected by the District’s action regarding EX No. 5523 may request an administrative hearing in accordance with applicable law, and that a request for hearing must be filed with (received by) the District within 21 days of receipt of the Notice. Rule 40D-1.1010(2)(b), Florida Administrative Code, provides that receipt is deemed to be the fifth day after the date on which the Notice is deposited in the United States mail. The Notice further provided that the failure to file a request for hearing within this time period shall constitute a waiver of any right to request a hearing. A copy of the Notice was mailed to Diehl on April 4, 2008. A request for hearing was required to be received by the District no later than April 30, 2008. No request for hearing was received by the District within the allotted time.

On May 8, 2008, the District received a request for hearing (Request) from Diehl. The Request was not timely filed. Section 120.569(2)(c), Florida Statutes (F.S.), provides that a request for hearing shall be dismissed if it has been untimely filed. By failing to file a timely request for administrative hearing within the allotted time, Diehl has waived its right to request an administrative hearing pursuant to Chapter 120, F.S., concerning the issuance of EX No. 5523. Accordingly, Diehl's request for administrative hearing should be dismissed.


Enter a Final Order of Dismissal with Prejudice dismissing the untimely request for administrative hearing filed by Diehl Family Limited Partnership.

Ms. Elaine Kuligofski, Director, Human Resources and Risk Management Department, said the District has received, for the second consecutive year, the annual Best Places to Work® Award for large employers in Hernando County. Best Places to Work®, sponsored by the Pasco Hernando Jobs and Education Partnership, places a spotlight on local businesses who exhibit extraordinary focus on and investment in their employees.

Organizations in three separate size categories were judged by an independent consultant on such metrics as diversity, turnover, training, compensation and benefits, and growth percentages. The District competed against 64 local employers in Hernando and Pasco counties for this prestigious award. Ms. Kuligofski said she was happy to report that the District's turnover was the lowest of any of the organizations that participated in this program. She said staff works very hard to make the District's work environment enjoyable for all of its employees. Another interesting fact is that 94 percent of the District's employees received some form of training last year, which was also higher than any of the other participating organizations. Ms. Kuligofski thanked Board members for their continued support of programs and benefits for staff.

Tampa Bay Estuary Program Update

Ms. Jennette Seachrist, SWIM Program Manager, Resource Data and Restoration Department, introduced Ms. Holly Greening, the new Executive Director of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP). Ms. Greening provided a short presentation outlining her history with the TBEP, the contributions local agencies have made to Bay recovery, the benefits the TBEP provides to the region and the challenges the partners face. In 1987, the Florida Legislature established the Surface Water Improvement and Management Program (SWIM) Act having recognized that water quality and habitat in surface waters throughout the state have degraded or are in danger of being degraded. The Act requires the District maintain a priority list of waterbodies of regional or statewide significance within their boundaries. The Act listed Tampa Bay as the District's number one priority. The District prepared the first SWIM Plan for Tampa Bay in 1988 with updates in 1992 and 1999. A fourth update is underway. In 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) identified Tampa Bay as an estuary of Federal Significance and included it in the National Estuary Program. As a result of this designation, the Tampa Bay National Estuary Program was established in 1991 to assist the region in developing a comprehensive plan for the restoration and protection of Tampa Bay. The first Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) for Tampa Bay, entitled "Charting the Course," was prepared in 1996 and updated in 2006. The Federal government provided the majority of funding during the first five years. The members of the original effort decided to continue with the program and in 1998, through an Interlocal Agreement, formed the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) (dropping the Federal designation) as a partnership of federal, state, and local agencies and governments including several private industries. These entities include the USEPA, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the District, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Pinellas counties and the cities of St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater. The Interlocal Agreement identified a long-term commitment to the program, which for the District requires annual funding approval at the Basin Board level. Since 1998 the District and other partners have completed numerous stormwater retrofit and habitat restoration projects toward achieving the goals of the CCMP and the SWIM Plan.


This item was for the Board’s information only; no action was required. (CD 1/Track 10 – 00:00/14:09)

43. Legislative Summary Mr. David Rathke, Director, Community and Legislative Affairs Department, said the Legislature concluded its session on May 2, 2008 and statewide, the environment and natural resources fared well. The District also succeeded on several fronts this year with regards to the budget. The state maintained the Water Management Lands Trust Fund at $59 million and fully funded Florida Forever at $105 million. The Legislature also funded Everglades Restoration at $50 million.

The Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Fund was substantially reduced to a total of $7.7 million statewide. Additionally, a total of $66.5 million in water projects were funded statewide. The District will receive funding for two projects: $1 million to continue efforts to restore Tampa Bay and $1 million to continue the Myakka River Watershed Initiative. A number of water projects were also funded for District cooperators. The District received $15 million for the West-Central Florida Water Restoration Action Plan, a significant amount given the current budget climate. The Florida Forever program will continue for another ten years with the passage of Senate Bill 542 this Session. The legislation moves the program forward and adds new provisions including the establishment of a funding mechanism for working waterfronts. Of particular interest to water management districts is the redirection of five percent of the 35 percent that water management districts receive in funding to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) and Florida Communities Trust (FCT). This item was presented for the Board’s information; no action was required. (CD 1/Track 11 – 00:00/10:47)

44. Fiscal Year 2010 Strategic Plan UpdateMr. Roy Mazur P.E., Director, Planning Department, said the purpose of this agenda item was to apprise the Governing Board on the progress of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Strategic Plan Update, and to communicate the significant discussion items deliberated in the process. The presentation informed the Governing Board on the progress of the Strategic Plan update process, and in particular, highlighted the three points of emphasis: Building Upon Last Year’s Success, Inclusive Process, and Refined Success Indicators. Examples of discussion items derived from the Subject Matter Expert and Strategic Team meetings were featured, such as the enhancement of strategic alignments and the continued integration of the Strategic Plan into District operations. Mr. Mazur pointed out that the latest version of the Five-Year Technology Plan is a perfect example of this strategic planning process. In addition, the presentation informed the Governing Board on the project milestones reached and the planned objectives on target to be achieved. This item was presented for the Board’s information; no action was required. (CD 1/Track 12 – 00:00/13:41)

Resource Management Committee Discussion Items

58. Consent Item(s) Moved for Discussion – None

59. Cooperative Funding Initiative Project Status Report – Water Partners, Inc. Reclaimed Water Project

Mr. Moore reviewed the parties involved in the Water Partners, Inc. (WPI). They included: Hillsborough County, Mosaic, and TECO. Other organizations that have been included in meetings and conversations with the WPI include: the City of Tampa, Lakeland, Polk County, Tampa Bay Water, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. He said this project has great potential to maximize the beneficial use of reclaimed water. It furthers the District's legislative mandate to promote the availability of sufficient water supply for all existing and future reasonable and beneficial uses and natural systems. It is consistent with the Southern Water Use Caution Area Recovery Strategy and eliminates nitrogen loading to Tampa Bay.

Details of the different components for the project were presented using aerial maps of the

region. Future meetings will focus on governance, infrastructure sizing, regulation, and recharge. Mr. Moore said as this project unfolds and is further investigated the Board will be updated on a regular basis; at this point he said he plans to address the Board in July with a project proposal. Board members discussed the project and expressed their collective desire to be kept informed. Ms. Closshey suggested that a historical report regarding the District's use of recharge, one that includes scientific and technological advances, be prepared for the Governing Board well in advance of the July Governing Board meeting. Mr. Combee said he hopes Lake Wales Ridge can benefit from any potential recharge project. Mr. Senft concurred with Mr. Combee's comments. He said since this project is so large he hopes it can benefit many. Mr. Gramling said he hopes this is the beginning of a regional reclaimed project.

This item was presented for the Board’s information; no action was required. (CD 1/Track

13 – 00:00/28:38) 60. Lower Hillsborough River Recovery Strategy Implementation Annual Update

Martin H. Kelly, Ph.D., Minimum Flows and Levels Program Director, Resource Projects Department, provided the annual update to the Board regarding the implementation of the various projects outlined in the recovery strategy needed to meet the adopted minimum flow for the Lower Hillsborough River (LHR). Dr. Kelly reviewed progress on individual projects and outlined the various phases that have been implemented to date and summarized progress on various elements currently underway. Projects to be jointly funded by the District and the City of Tampa and their timelines for implementation were as follows:

(1) Sulphur Springs weir modifications and pump station, October 1, 2010, (2) Blue Sink Project, October 1, 2011, (3) Transmission Pipe, October 1, 2013, and (4) Investigation of Storage Options, October 1, 2016.


In addition, the District was to construct three temporary pump stations to transfer water from the Tampa Bypass Canal to the base of the Hillsborough River Dam and to explore the feasibility of developing and implementing a project to transfer water from Morris Bridge Sink to the base of the dam. This item was presented for the Committee's information, and no action was required. (CD 1/Track 13 – 28:38/49:42)

61. Tampa Bay Water System Overview

Chair Pressman and Mr. Moore introduced Mr. Gerald J. Seeber, General Manager, Tampa Bay Water. Mr. Seeber said this year marks the ten-year anniversary of the reorganization of Tampa Bay Water and its historic partnership with the Southwest Florida Water Management District in the development of new water supplies for the metropolitan region. Over the past decade, together, amazing strides have been made in the development of a diverse potable water supply system that balances surface water from the rivers, desalinated seawater from Tampa Bay and groundwater from the three county service area. Mr. Seeber provided an overview and update of the current water supply system; a review of the current operations at the seawater desalination plant; a progress report regarding the milestones in the desalination funding agreement; the current status of operations at the northern Tampa Bay area central-system well fields; and an update on the initiative to reclassify the Alafia River as a Class 1 waterway. In 2007, Tampa Bay Water and the District partnered a second time by expanding the successful surface water system to provide drinking water to the region through 2017. Construction projects are underway to expand the Regional Surface Water Treatment Plant and add pumping and piping where necessary to fully utilize the available surface water and further enhance reliability and flexibility of the regional drinking water supply system. Mr. Seeber also updated the Governing Board on the status of the agency’s efforts on the Long-Term Water Supply Plan. The Tampa Bay Water Board approved a list of 16 potential projects and approved inter-regional coordination to meet those future water demands, including a Future Surface Water Expansion Study to look more closely at additional Alafia River withdrawals, downstream augmentation of the Hillsborough River or Alafia River, a potential second reservoir and a potential second surface water treatment plant. This item was presented for the Committee's information, and no action was required. (CD 1/Track 14 – 00:00/18:58)

62. Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority Transition

Mr. Kenneth R. Herd, Water Supply Program Director, Resource Projects Department, said this action item addresses the Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority's funding request to expand the efforts of the Authority to meet the growing need for regional water supplies. The Authority has requested the District provide $400,000 annually to the Authority for the next five years to support administrative costs associated with staff, office and operation elements. After the five-year period, it is the Authority's goal to be self supporting through the sale of water from existing and new sources. In April, Mr. Sullivan presented an overview of the request to the Withlacoochee River and Coastal Rivers Basin Boards for consideration as part of their FY2009 budget. A similar presentation was made at the joint meeting between the Authority and the District Governing Board in Ocala on March 24, 2008. The Authority also requested the District consider amending the Charles Black wellfield agreement to allow revenue generated by the sale of water to be used for the Authority's administrative costs.


Based upon District staff discussions with members of the Authority and feedback from District basins, and in light of the economic environment affecting local governments, the District is proposing the following: • No funding from the District to the Authority at this time; and • District will provide in-kind services for administrative support including:

Office and storage space at the District's Brooksville complex Technical support from existing District staff Clerical support from existing District staff Miscellaneous communication support including phone service, computer services, etc.

Staff recommended approval of the proposed plan to support WRWSA's administrative requirements by providing the in-kind services outlined above and providing no additional funding at this time.

Committee Chair Pressman heard public comment at this time. Commissioner Rose Rocco, Hernando County, encouraged Governing Board members to approve the staff recommendation to continue moving forward with a regional approach to water management. Committee Chair Pressman asked Mr. Jack Sullivan why the Authority used a five-year planning period. Mr. Sullivan said the five-year period was the proper timeframe for them at this point. Ms. Janey Baldwin, Withlacoochee River Basin Board Member, said she believes there are benefits to a regional water supply authority; however, she is not in favor of one at this time. She believes it is premature and not the right economic climate. Following consideration, Mr. Combee moved, seconded by Ms. Whitehead, to approve the staff recommendation as outlined above. Motion carried unanimously. (CD 1/Track 15 – 00:00/29:23)

Committee Chair Pressman recessed the public hearing for a short lunch break. 63. District Hurricane Preparedness Overview

Mr. Michael L. Holtkamp, Director, Operations Department, provided an overview of District emergency preparedness for the 2008 hurricane season which included a discussion of the operation of the District’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Following District staff’s presentation, representatives from Tampa Bay Water and the Peace River/Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority made brief presentations on their respective hurricane preparedness plans. The District operates and maintains 78 water control structures ranging in size from major flood control structures capable of discharging 26,700 cubic feet per second to small water conservation structures consisting of a simple culvert and riser with stop logs. To date 28 of the District’s structures have been instrumented to be operated by remote control to improve upon response time in the event of a pending hurricane or other emergency situation. Three additional structures are currently in the process of being instrumented for remote control in fiscal year 2008. All major flood control structures are remotely controllable. The District has developed a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. The Plan provides guidance to District staff on procedures, organization, and responsibilities of an "all hazards" approach to emergency planning. In the event of an emergency, the District Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated. The EOC is the facility through which


the District provides direction and control during all emergency events. All emergency response efforts and resource deployment is coordinated through the EOC. District emergency management activities revolve around a four-phased cycle of preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. District preparedness activities include: Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) training, updates to emergency action plans, increased monitoring and data acquisition, pre-storm structure operations to increase storage levels, and structure remote control installations. State and local governments provide recovery assistance to citizens and businesses. The District is signatory to two mutual aid agreements – the “Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement” and the “Florida Water Management Districts Mutual Aid Agreement for Catastrophic Emergency Response/Recovery.” These agreements provide reciprocal emergency aid and assistance during an emergency or disaster. This item was presented for the Committee's information, and no action was required. (CD 1/Track 16 – 00:00/23:17; CD 1/Track 17– 00:00/05:49; CD 1/Track 18 – 00:00/06:09)

Mr. Granville Kinsman, Manager, Hydrologic Data Section, provided information on the general state of the District's hydrologic conditions, by comparing rainfall, surface water, and groundwater levels for the current month to comparable data from the historical record. The month of May revealed some setbacks to recent improvements. The fire danger remains elevated. In light of these current conditions the District is not recommending any changes to the restrictions. The precipitation forecast for the upcoming month is promising with an above normal rainfall prediction. Staff will continue to closely monitor conditions in accordance with the District's updated Water Shortage Plan, including any necessary supplemental analysis of condition data. This item was provided for the Committee's information, and no action was required. (CD 1/Track 19 – 00:00/07:40)

51. Per Capita and Enhanced Water Conservation Rulemaking Status Report Mr. Bobby Lue, P.E., Director, Brooksville Regulation Department, provided a status report of the ongoing activities to develop rules to expand the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) per capita requirements Districtwide and adopt rules that will

Minutes of the Meeting May 27, 2008 SWFWMD Governing Board Page 13 of 15 enhance water conservation requirements in the District. In addition, staff sought Board concurrence with no longer pursuing the establishment of new water use caution areas in the northern portions of the District.

Mr. Lue provided a status report on each of these initiatives: Water Conservation Summit, Potential Establishment of a Water Use Caution Area in Portions of Marion and Sumter Counties, Expansion of the NTBWUCA, Potential Establishment of a Water Use Caution Area in Portions of Citrus and Hernando Counties, and Enhanced Water Conservation Requirements. The Governing Board approved adoption of rule revisions at its August 28, 2007 meeting to implement the SWUCA per capita requirements Districtwide. Subsequent to this action, a number of stakeholders expressed concerns with the requirements, particularly for utilities with low persons-per-household. District staff have been working with these stakeholders to develop options to address these concerns. At its September 25, 2007 meeting, the Board authorized additional changes to the proposed rules; however several parties have continued to request further changes. Staff are scheduled to return to the Board at the June 2008 meeting with additional rule revisions. Because of the breadth of the proposed water conservation requirements and the fact that they will be implemented Districtwide, staff believes that these proposed rules will negate the need for the designation of any additional Water Use Caution Areas in the northern District, at this time. Hence, staff is recommending that the establishment of Water Use Caution Areas be removed from consideration as a Northern District strategy. Staff recommended to remove from further consideration the establishment of Water Use Caution Areas in portions of Marion-Sumter and Citrus-Hernando counties as part of the management strategies to address water resource concerns in the northern portions of the District.

Following consideration, Ms. Parks moved, seconded by Mr. Oakley, to approve the staff recommendation as amended by adding the language "at this time" to the end of the staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. (CD 1/Track 20 – 00:00/37:48)

Regulation Committee June 24, 2008 Discussion Item

Hydrologic Conditions Status Report

This routine report provides information on the general state of the District's hydrologic conditions, by comparing rainfall, surface water, and groundwater levels for the current month to comparable data from the historical record. The data shown are typically considered final, fully verified monthly values, but occasionally, due to timing of publication, some data are identified as "provisional," meaning that the values shown are best estimates based on incomplete data. The information presented below is a summary of data presented in much greater detail in the Hydrologic Conditions Report published the week before the Governing Board meeting, which also includes an updated provisional summary of hydrologic conditions as of the date of publication. It is available at http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/waterres/hydro/hydro.htm.

RainfallProvisional regional rainfall totals during the month (as of May 31) fell in the below-normal range for all regions of the District. The normal range is defined as rainfall totals that fall on or between the 25th to 75th percentiles derived from the historical data for each month The northern region received an average of 0.56 inch of rainfall, equivalent to the 1st percentile.

The central region received 0.58 inch of rainfall, equivalent to the 5th percentile. The southern region recorded an average of 1.28 inches of rain, equivalent to the 11th percentile.

District-wide, average rainfall was 0.82 inch, equivalent to the 5th percentile.

StreamflowProvisional data (as of May 28) from regional index rivers indicates streamflow decreased compared to the previous month and was below-normal in the northern and southern regions, while it remained within the normal range in the central region. Normal streamflow is defined as falling between the 25th and 75th percentiles. The average streamflow in the Withlacoochee River near Holder in the northern region was in the 12th percentile.

The average streamflow measured in the Hillsborough River near Zephyrhills in the central region was in the 27th percentile.

The average streamflow measured in the Peace River at Arcadia in the southern region was in the 2nd percentile.

Groundwater LevelsProvisional groundwater data (as of May 28) indicate levels in the Floridan/Intermediate aquifer decreased in all three regions of the District compared to the previous month. Groundwater levels were below the normal range of historic values in the northern counties, while they were within the normal range in the central and southern counties. Normal groundwater levels are defined as those falling between the 25th and 75th percentiles. The average groundwater level in the northern counties was in the 16th percentile. The average groundwater level in the central counties was in the 30th percentile. The average groundwater level in the southern counties was in the 25th percentile.

2

Item 44 Lake LevelsProvisional data (as of May 20) indicates lake levels decreased in all regions of the District during the month. Regionally, average lake levels were below the base of the annual normal range. Normal lake levels are generally considered to be levels that fall between the minimum low management level and the minimum flood level. Average levels in the Northern region decreased 0.54 foot and were 4.33 feet below the base of the annual normal range.

Average lake levels in the Tampa Bay region decreased 0.38 foot and were 1.84 feet below the base of the annual normal range.

Average lake levels in the Polk Uplands region decreased 0.28 foot and were 2.08 feet below the base of the annual normal range.

Average lake levels in the Lake Wales Ridge region decreased 0.53 foot and were 5.49 feet below the base of the annual normal range.

Issues of Significance

The month of May historically marks the last month of the annual dry season and rainfall for the month was well below normal in all regions of the District. The twelve-month District-wide rainfall deficit worsened slightly during May, ending the month approximately 6.2 inches below the long-term average. It has been below-average for 24 consecutive months. Rainfall accumulations for the month were regionally variable, mainly associated with the passage of a weak cold front in mid-May, and were not sufficient to improve hydrologic conditions in most areas. All regional hydrologic indicators throughout the District, including the Peace River basin area, declined during the month and long-term drought conditions intensified.

The US Drought Monitor (as of May 28) indicates dry conditions have intensified throughout the District, with the majority of counties experiencing either "abnormally dry" or "moderate drought" conditions, with the exception of Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas and parts of Sumter and Citrus counties, which were experiencing normal moisture conditions. NOAA climate models and forecasts indicate uncertain (equal chance for normal or above/below-normal) rainfall conditions for June and above-normal rainfall for the three-month period of June/July/August 2008, due to diminishing (neutral) La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean and an active tropical weather season in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. Below-normal rainfall would continue to worsen overall hydrologic conditions and increase resource-related impacts.

Updated weather forecasts will be available in mid-June. Staff will continue to closely monitor conditions in accordance with the District's updated Water Shortage Plan, including any necessary supplemental analysis of condition data.

Item 45

Regulation Committee June 24, 2008

Discussion Item

Approve Fourth Modification to Water Shortage Order No. SWF 07-02 In response to the ongoing drought (please refer to the "Hydrologic Conditions Status Report" item on the Regulation Committee's discussion agenda), applicable provisions of the District's Water Shortage Plan (Rule 40D-21, Florida Administrative Code) have been activated. On January 9, 2007, the District issued Water Shortage Order No. SWF 07-02 to declare once-per-week lawn watering restrictions and other modified Phase II (Severe Water Shortage) restrictions for the entire sixteen county area. Since that time, the Governing Board has extended the water shortage restrictions on three occasions. Most recently, at the November 26, 2007 meeting the Governing Board extended the expiration date to June 30, 2008.

Based on the combination of drought indicators specified in the Water Shortage Plan (rainfall patterns, ground water levels, surface water flow and weather predictions) and related considerations (such as local water conservation efforts), District staff believe that current conditions warrant continuing the current water shortage declaration through September 30, 2008. Assuming the Governing Board approves the staff recommendation, staff will continue to monitor hydrologic conditions so that these restrictions can be modified or rescinded prior to the expiration date if sufficient drought recovery occurs.


Approve the Fourth Modification to Water Shortage Order No. SWF 07-02 to extend the current modified Phase II restrictions through September 30, 2008 and to expand the order to include all of unincorporated Marion County in accordance with the Interagency Agreement with the St. Johns River Water Management District.

IN RE:

DECLARATION OF WATER SHORTAGE _________________________________

FOURTH BOARD ORDER MODIFYING WATER SHORTAGE ORDER No. SWF 07-02

The Governing Board of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (District), during a public hearing held on June 24, 2008 in Brooksville, Florida, received testimony, including data and recommendations from District staff, and comment from the public regarding the existence of an ongoing water shortage within the District.Based upon the testimony, data, staff recommendations and public comment, the Governing Board makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.

FINDINGS OF FACT

1. At its November 30, 2006 meeting, pursuant to Section 373.083(5), Florida Statutes (F.S.), the District's Governing Board authorized the Executive Director to declare a water shortage in accordance with the non-emergency provisions of 40D-21, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), the District's Water Shortage Plan ("Plan"), if, in his judgment, it was appropriate to do so prior to the Governing Board meeting on January 30, 2007.

2. The Executive Director held a public hearing on January 9, 2007 at the District's Brooksville headquarters for the purpose of considering data, including quantitative and qualitative indicators, staff recommendations and public input. Upon careful consideration of this information, the Executive Director determined that a District-wide modified Phase II "Severe Water Shortage" declaration is necessary and should be ordered prior to the next regularly scheduled Governing Board meeting.

3. The Governing Board concurred with the Executive Director's decision to issue Water Shortage Order No. SWF 07-02 during its meeting on January 30, 2007.Furthermore, on July 31, 2007, September 25, 2007, and November 26, 2007, the Governing Board considered then-current data, staff recommendations and public input. Upon careful consideration of updated information, the Governing Board determined that a modification to extend the expiration date of this Order was necessary on each of these three occasions. The most recent modification extended the terms of this Order to June 30, 2008.

5

4. The Plan specifies that the District will monitor certain sources of national predictions, indices and conditions and current hydrologic data, including rainfall, stream flow, groundwater levels and certain sources of national predictions and conditions.

5. The Plan establishes Drought Condition Levels that relate the extent to which current rainfall, stream flows and groundwater levels are below normal levels. Drought Condition Levels include Moderately, Severely, Extremely and Critically Abnormal.Drought Condition Levels consider regional conditions, and national predictions, indices and conditions (individually "Drought Indicator", collectively "Drought Indicators").

6. Drought Indicators are summarized as follows:

a. Rainfall

i. As of May 31, 2008, the District-wide rainfall deficit, measured as a twelve-month moving sum, is about 6.1 inches. This deficit is categorized as Moderately Abnormal.

ii. Eight of the sixteen counties within the District are currently experiencing below-normal rainfall on a countywide average basis.

iii. Two counties are predominantly experiencing rainfall conditions categorized as Extremely Abnormal: Hardee and Sarasota.

b. Groundwater conditions

i. As of June 3, 2008, all three of the major groundwater regions of the District (i.e., northern, central and southern counties) are experiencing conditions categorized as Moderately Abnormal

c. Surface water conditions

i. One major river within the District is experiencing substantially below-normal conditions as defined by the Plan.

ii. As of May 29, 2008, the eight-week moving mean stream flow for the Withlacoochee River (as measured near Holder) is 132 cubic feet per second (cfs), which equates to the 16th percentile, so this flow is categorized as Severely Abnormal.

iii. Although not currently classified as abnormal based the eight-week moving mean stream flow, the other three major rivers within the District have experienced an overall downward trend for four or more weeks.

2

6

iv. As of June 4, 2008, instantaneous stream flow for the Peace River (as measured at Arcadia) is 20 cfs, compared to a median historical value for this day of 206 cfs.

v. As of June 4, 2008, instantaneous stream flow for the Hillsborough River (as measured at Zephyrhills) is 53 cfs, compared to a median historical value for this day of 81 cfs.

vi. As of June 4, 2008, instantaneous stream flow for the Alafia River (as measured at Lithia) is 35 cfs, compared to a median historical value for this day of 92 cfs.

d. The U.S. Drought Monitor

i. The U.S. Drought Monitor is one of the national Drought Indicators specified in the Plan.

ii. As of May 27, 2008, the Monitor indicates that fourteen of the District's sixteen counties are experiencing abnormal conditions as defined by the Plan.

iii. The following counties are the most affected, experiencing conditions characterized as Severely Abnormal: Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee, Highlands, Manatee and Sarasota.

e. The Long-Term Palmer Index

i. The Long Term Palmer Index is another national Drought Indicator specified in the Plan.

ii. As of May 31, 2008, this index indicates that all of the District's sixteen counties are experiencing abnormal conditions as defined by the Plan.

iii. The following counties are the most affected, experiencing conditions characterized as Severely Abnormal: Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee, Highlands, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas, Polk and Sarasota.

7. The Plan specifies that the Drought Indicators described in paragraph 4. above and Drought Condition Levels are factors to be considered in determining whether a water shortage declaration is warranted. As described above, the Drought Indicators demonstrate that all sixteen counties within the District are experiencing a composite Drought Conditions Level consistent with a declaration of at least a Phase II "Severe Water Shortage" Order.

8. While lake levels are not included in the Plan as a Drought Indicator, the Plan specifies that lake levels, as part of the water resource data collected by the District,

3

7

shall be considered in determining whether a water shortage should be declared. Data used to prepare the May 2008 Hydrologic Conditions Report indicate:

a. Lakes in the northern region are about 4.11 feet below the bottom of the normal range.

b. Lakes in the Tampa Bay region are about 2.05 feet below the bottom of the normal range.

c. Lakes in the Polk Uplands region are about 2.23 feet below the bottom of the normal range.

d. Lakes in the Lake Wales Ridge region are about 5.58 feet below the bottom of the normal range.

9. In addition to evaluating and analyzing quantifiable Drought Indicators to determine the degree to which geographic area(s) and water source(s) are affected by a water shortage, the Plan specifies that District shall take into account several qualitative factors when considering what Phase of restrictions and other response mechanisms should be declared. Pertinent factors at this time include:

a. Surface water-dependent public supply systems serving the City of Tampa, Tampa Bay Water's member governments and the Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority's customer governments were significantly affected by this water shortage prior to its impact reaching regional proportions and, after experiencing some improvement during the wet winter months, are once again at-risk due to low storage.

b. Tampa Bay Water's three-county Drought Mitigation Plan activation triggers have not indicated that its water supplies have returned to pre-drought conditions.

c. The Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority continues to require two emergency authorizations to help meet current water demand.Executive Director Order No. SWF 07-045, as modified, provides a temporary permit change which allows the agency to maximize river diversions when available. Executive Director Order No. SWF 08-003 provides a temporary permit change which allows the withdrawal of ground water from ASR wells because previously-stored river water has been depleted from these wells.

d. Local water conservation efforts by Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority's customer governments and other local governments, including enforcement of current restrictions, continue to help minimize the need for more stringent District restrictions in the southern portion of the District.

4

8

e. The District and the adjacent St. Johns River Water Management District (St. Johns) entered into an Interagency Agreement in February 2008 which allows the District to declare a water shortage in the portion of Marion County physically located in St. Johns so that all of unincorporated Marion County will follow the same water shortage restrictions at any given point in time. The District's portion of Marion County is already included in Water Shortage Order No. SWF 07-02.

f. To varying degrees, all groundwater and surface water sources throughout the District are currently affected by this water shortage event. All categories of water users are impacting the available sources and are expected to continue to impact available water supply from these sources and contribute to the potential for harm to the natural systems.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

10. The Governing Board of the District is duly authorized by Section 373.246(2), F.S., and Chapter 40D-21, F.A.C., to issue Orders declaring the existence of a water shortage within all or part of the District and to impose such restrictions and require such measures as may be necessary to reduce demand on available water supplies.

11. County and city officials and all law enforcement authorities are required to enforce orders lawfully issued by the Executive Director pursuant to the Plan and Section 373.609, F.S.

ORDERED

THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is hereby ORDERED:

Item 46


Amendments to 40D-2.091, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and Part B, Basis of Review, of the Water Use Permit Information Manual to Expand the Southern Water Use Caution Area Per Capita Requirements Districtwide

Background/History The Governing Board approved the first comprehensive per capita water use calculation, reporting and efficiency standards in the original three water use caution areas (Highlands Ridge, Eastern Tampa Bay and Northern Tampa Bay) in the early 1990s. These requirements, including a per capita standard of 150 gallons per capita per day, have been in effect for over 15 years. Refinements to these requirements, a standardized current year population estimation methodology, and utility service area delineation and reporting requirements were included in the most recently approved Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) rules. However, the result is that the per capita and related reporting requirements are different between the SWUCA and Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area (NTBWUCA) and do not exist at all in the northern portion of the District outside a water use caution area.

In August and September 2007, the Governing Board approved for adoption amendments to Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C., to extend the SWUCA per capita and reporting requirements to those portions of the District outside the SWUCA.

Rule provisions from the SWUCA that would become effective in areas outside of the SWUCA and/or replace similar requirements in the NTBWUCA include:

Refined service area delineation requirements and reporting – necessary for enhanced use of GIS technology and accurate population estimation and projection;

Per capita calculation – removal of deduction for desalination in Northern Tampa Bay WUCA to be consistent with SWUCA;

Per capita calculation – refined and additional significant use deductions for large or regional commercial, industrial and institutional uses;

Per capita calculation – consistent service area population methodology, permanent and seasonal functional population estimation required, tourist and net commuter population optional but methodology prescribed;

Per capita compliance – 150 gallons per capita per day for utilities in existing WUCAs, 150 gallons per capita per day phased in over time for utilities outside existing water use caution areas;

Annual residential water use reporting – number of dwelling units by type served and their use – already required in all water use caution areas; and

Annual reclaimed/stormwater reporting – already required in all water use caution areas.

As reported to the Board last fall and winter, prior to District staff beginning the statutory publications and filings to adopt the rules, representatives of The Villages and Bay Laurel Community Development, which provides the water service for On Top of the World in Marion County, asked to meet with District staff regarding concerns about how those developments would meet the 150 per capita requirement and how the 150 per capita rate is calculated. The representatives for these developments are concerned that the developments are long-standing, age-restricted developments, and so have a relatively low per household population that, by itself, will result in a higher per capita usage rate compared to other public supply utilities, all other factors being equal. Additionally, these particular developments have expansive common areas and multiple golf courses, and have little residential water use other than single family residential. This pattern of development would also result in a higher per capita rate compared to other communities. An additional factor that concerns these

12

Item 46 developments' representatives is that these developments restrict homeowners from installing their own irrigation wells, thereby eliminating the possibility that the per capita rate would be lowered by this form of source-substitution, as occurs elsewhere in the District, such as the extensive residential irrigation wells that exist in Pinellas and Sarasota counties. Comments and requested changes to the 150 per capita requirement received from the Villages and Bay Laurel were summarized in the February 2008 recap. Since that time, Marion County Utilities staff has raised similar issues in a meeting with District staff. In addition, concerns were raised that the quantities that are allowed to be deducted for per capita compliance are not adequately addressed in the permit application process, particularly if the permitted quantity is limited to a gross per capita water use of 150 gpcd.

Current StatusStaff has analyzed the comments and has drafted revisions to the proposed rules that address concerns raised as shown in the Exhibit. Staff proposes that the draft rule amendments include revisions to the formula used to calculate a permittee's per capita rate to allow deductions and adjustments that would lower the per capita rate value used for purposes of compliance. These deductions and adjustments include:

A. Golf course irrigation within the permittee's service area where the irrigation quantities are included in the permitted quantities for the service area and reported as withdrawals;

B. Stormwater use inside the permittee's service area, used other than for golf course irrigation, and included in the permitted quantities for the service area and are reported as withdrawals; and

C. 50% of the reclaimed water provided outside the permittee's service area or 25,000 gpd or more annual average provided to a single-site within the permittee's service area, except not if used for residential or common area irrigation.

D. Allow a persons-per-household (pph) of 2.01 to be substituted for the actual service area pph in the calculation of the functional population when compliance with the 150 gpcd cannot be achieved by all allowable deductions and credits and the actual pph is less than 2.01. This addresses the concerns of utilities that have a high per capita water use, in part due to a low service area pph. (The 2.01 pph value has been developed based upon an analysis of service area persons-per-household from Census data.)

In addition, staff proposed to formalize the permit application permitted quantity calculation process in which projected allowable deductions are explicitly incorporated into the future allowable withdrawals. This will provide additional assurance that a permittee that is in compliance with the 150 gpcd compliance standard will not likely face an overpumpage compliance issue.

The specific rule language for revision D. and the permit application permitted quantity calculation, both of which have a significant impact on compliance, have not been presented to the Public Supply Advisory Committee.

Staff are scheduled to take these proposed amendments to the July 8, 2008 Public Supply Advisory Committee meeting. It should be noted that all the aforementioned parties that have expressed concerns with the rule revisions are members of the Advisory Committee. Subsequent to receiving input at the Advisory Committee and incorporating appropriate input, staff will bring the proposed rule revisions back to the Governing Board for approval in August 2008.

Staff Recommendation See Exhibit

This item is presented for the Committee’s information, and no action is required.

WATER USE PERMIT INFORMATION MANUAL PART B, BASIS OF REVIEW

2.0 ADMINISTRATIVE CONSIDERATIONS

Within Section 2.5 the title of subsection "Public Water Supply Service Area Within SWUCA" is changed as follows:

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY SERVICE AREA WITHIN THE SWUCA

In addition to the paragraph above, a public supply utility permit Applicant must define the entire area proposed to be serviced by the public supply system or utility with potable water during the term of the permit. A public water supply utility may have separate, discreet service areas; however, if water is routinely transferred between service areas, the service areas are counted as one. An applicant’s public supply service area is composed of the following, unless the applicant demonstrates that factors unique to its utility make one or more of these situations inapplicable to the determination of the applicant’s service area:

1. The current and projected geographic retail area for which a public water supply utility intends to provide and bill for potable water for the duration of the permit.

14

2

2. The current and projected geographical retail areas of a public water supply utility that is not required to have a Wholesale Water Use Permit but which purchases water wholesale from the Applicant. 3. Areas where the Applicant bills for water use although another entity or utility has a Wholesale Water Use Permit for distribution of the water to the population.

The area for which a Wholesale Public Supply Permittee distributes potable water and bills customers for that water is not included in the wholesaler supplier's service area.

Public water supply applicants and their wholesale customers that operate “community water systems” as that term is defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in Rule 62-550.200, F.A.C., shall be considered public water supply “utilities.” For the purposes of this rule, an entity which submeters a master-metered connection to a utility and bills for the metered water use is not considered a public water supply utility.

Public supply permit Applicants with a defined service area must submit an up-to-date map of the service area with clearly marked, identifiable boundaries at the time of application for a new permit, permit modification (not letter modification) or permit renewal. The map submitted must clearly show any changes to the service area relative to the service area depicted in the District’s electronic public supply area boundary map. The map must clearly delineate the current area served from any proposed service area(s) if the current and proposed areas are not the same, and the applicant is applying for quantities for the proposed service area. The map may be paper or District compatible electronic file format. During the term of the permit, for permits with durations longer than six years, an up-to-date service area map shall be submitted every six years. With each service area map submittal, the following information must be included:

1. A current general utility contact person name, title, email address and phone number.

2. A current contact person name, title, email address and phone number whom District staff may call concerning the service area map.

3. The metadata for the map if the map is submitted as an electronic file that is compatible with the District's format.

4. The District permit numbers and Florida Department of Environmental Protection Public Water Supply Identifier (PWSI) numbers and area designation names for each service area or sub-service area, as applicable.

5. An indication of routine water transfer interconnections between service areas and other utilities or wholesale suppliers or recipients.

6. The name, contact person, phone number, and District permit number(s) of each utility that purchases water from the permittee on a routine basis and the most recent year’s purchase quantity in millions of gallons per day.

7. The name, contact person, phone number, and District permit number(s) of each utility that the permittee purchase water from on a routine basis and the most recent year’s purchase quantity in millions of gallons per day.

Definable areas within a service area which are served by domestic potable wells shall be delineated and designated by the permittee as non-served areas unless documentation such as a capital improvement plan is provided that demonstrates that the area will be supplied by the applicant within the term of the permit. Quantities shall not be permitted for overlapping service areas or service areas that are in dispute.

3.0 REASONABLE WATER NEEDS

Within Section 3.6 Public Supply the first paragraph is changed as follows:

In order to accurately calculate demand, public supply Applicants must identify the demand for each of the uses listed in this section. Information typically required to demonstrate reasonable demand for each component may include the number, type, and size of service connections; past monthly pumpage records by use type; projected permanent and temporal seasonal population data for the service area; data on the specific uses; development projections; and data specific to the forecasting models used. Demand quantities should be based on quantities required by end-use customers, not withdrawal quantities. The quantities must be expressed in average annual gallons per day for each component of demand. Revised _____.

Within Section 3.6 Public Supply the following changes are made:

A new heading "PERMIT APPLICATION DATA PROJECTIONS" is created and added before the existing provisions titled "PER CAPITA DAILY WATER USE" and the following five provisions are subheadings under "PERMIT APPLICATION DATA PROJECTIONS"

PERMIT APPLICATION DATA PROJECTIONS

Projected Per Capita Daily Water Use PER CAPITA DAILY WATER USE

Per capita daily water use is a guideline used to measure the reasonable withdrawal requests of public supply Applicants. Per capita water use is generally considered to be population-related withdrawals associated with residential, business, institutional, industrial, miscellaneous metered, and unaccounted uses. Projected per capita daily use is calculated by adding the quantities identified for the uses shown in the previous list, except for treatment losses, and then dividing by the permanent or temporally seasonally adjusted population of the service area. Where the per capita daily water use rate exceeds 150 gpd the applicant must address reduction of the high rate in the conservation plan.Revised _______.

The following four sections are relocated to this portion of Section 3.6 from the original location shown in strike through format further below and revised as indicated.

Service Area Population Projection Data POPULATION DATA Population data are available from the following sources: the District, Bureau of the Census,University of Florida Bureau of Economics and Business Research (BEBR), Regional Planning Council (RPC), County Planning Departments, the District Planning Department, and the orComprehensive Land Use Plan (developed under Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C.). Use of other population data or methods other than those provided by the District shall identified above may be considered if thoroughly documented. Counties and municipalities are required to estimate seasonal population as part of the comprehensive planning process. If such data are not available, seasonal service area population may be estimated using methods recommended by the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). Applicants may also identify tourist population, if known. Revised ____.

16

4

Permanent Population Projection Estimates POPULATION ESTIMATESIn service areas without significant seasonal population fluctuations, the use of permanent population estimates is appropriate. [Moved to Calculation of Seasonally Adjusted Population Projections below: In service areas where there are significant seasonal population changes, it is to the advantage of the Applicant to estimate the seasonal population for use in conjunction with permanent population in the calculation of per capita daily water demand. If significant seasonal population fluctuations are not accounted for, per capita water daily water use may be over-estimated. Ten years of permanent and seasonal (if applicable) population growth must be projected, on a yearly basis, for the area served by the application.

When population estimates are required for years in between those estimates with published or referenced estimates, the Applicant must interpolate the data. The Applicant may assume that population increases in equal increments in the years between established estimates. Revised ____.

Calculation of Seasonally Adjusted Population Projections CALCULATION OF SEASONALLY ADJUSTED POPULATION In service areas where there are significant seasonal population changes, it may be to the advantage of the Applicant to estimate the seasonal population for use in conjunction with permanent population in the calculation of per capita daily water demand. If significant seasonal population fluctuations are not included, per capita water daily water use may be over-estimated. Seasonally adjusted population is a weighted population that takes into account seasonal fluctuations. Applicants are encouraged to use If monthly seasonal population data where are available, in its calculations of population then individual monthly estimates should be used in calculations. Where available, the applicant can request Functional Population projections that include seasonal resident population fluctuations from the District. An example of how to calculate a seasonally adjusted population for a service area that has a winter influx of residents follows.

For example: Permanent population = 100,000 persons for eight months. The population increases during the four winter months as shown below:

Seasonal Population:

November 110,000 December 110,000 January 120,000 February 120,000 460,000

Permanent Population (100,000 x 8 months): 800,000(Seasonal Population): + 460,000 1,260,000

Permanent Population: 100,000 100,000 x 8 months = 800,000 (Seasonal Population) + 460,000

1,260,000 1,260,000 12 months =105,000 seasonally adjusted population Revised ____.

17

5

Calculation of Tourist-Adjusted Population Projections CALCULATION OF TOURIST-ADJUSTED POPULATION Where projected short-term tourist population data are available, the applicant may choose to include tourist population data may be included in seasonally adjusted population estimates. Tourists generally only represent demand for indoor uses of water, so the Applicant should estimate tourist use at one-half of permanent or seasonal population daily use. This estimate is accomplished by utilizing one-half of the estimated tourist population for a given time period in calculations. For example, if November for a given year is projected to have a permanent population of 100,000, a seasonal influx population of 10,000 residents, and an influx tourist population of 10,000 tourists, the November population to be used in the seasonally adjusted population calculation would be 100,000 + 10,000 + 0.5(10,000) = 120,000 115,000. Where available, the applicant can obtain projected tourist population from the District.Revised ____.

CONSERVATION SWUCA REQUIREMENTS

The public supply permittee following water conservation requirements included within the remainder of this Subsection 3.6, unless specifically designated to apply within the SWUCA only,shall apply to all public supply utilities and suppliers with Permits that are granted for an annual average daily quantity of 100,000 gallons per day or greater, as well as wholesale customers supplied by another entity which obtain an annual average daily quantity of 100,000 gallons per day or greater, either indirectly or directly under water use permits within the SWUCA, regardless of the name(s) on the water use permit. Failure of a wholesale customer to comply may result in modification of the wholesale permit to add a permit condition limiting or reducing the wholesale customer's quantities, or other actions by the District. Increased allocations for existing permits and allocations for public supply permits with an annual average daily quantity less than 100,000 gpd shall be based on a per capita use rate no greater than 150 gallons per day.

Transferred from Chapters 7.1 and 7.2, 1-1-07, _____.

PER CAPITA DAILY WATER USE WITHIN THE SWUCA Per Capita Use Rate - Public supply permittees shall have a per capita rate of no greater than 150 gallons per day per person whether it is calculated as an unadjusted gross per capita (see A. in this section below), an adjusted gross per capita (see B. in this section below), or a compliance per capita (see C. in this section below). Compliance with this per capita rate has been required of permittees in the original NTB WUCA (i.e., excluding the extension area incorporated into the NTB WUCA on October 1, 2007) and in the SWUCA since 1993. Permittees with all withdrawals located outside the SWUCA and the NTB WUCA, as it existed prior to October 1, 2007, shall have until [five years from the effective date of rule] to comply with this rate.Quantities allocated for public supply permits with an annual average daily quantity less than 100,000 gpd shall be based on a per capita use rate no greater than 150 gallons per day.

Compliance with the per capita rate shall be monitored via the Per Capita Annual Report that is required to be submitted by April 1 of each year for metered permits. (See Documentation of Per Capita Daily Water Use Calculations for the Annual Report in this section.) Permittees not required to achieve this rate until January 1, 2013 shall report compliance with this per capita rate in the Annual Report due April 1, 2013.

18

6

Adjusted Gross Per Capita - Within the SWUCA Ppermittees shall have an adjusted gross per capita daily water use rate no greater than 150 gallons per person per day (gpd). Permittees may deduct significant uses, treatment losses, and environmental mitigation. However significant uses must be reported if deducted and accounted for in a water conservation plan developed by the applicant/permittee which includes specific water conservation programs for each user or type of use, as described in the section “Deducted Water Uses Within the SWUCA”, below. The formula used for determining adjusted gross per capita is as follows:

A. Unadjusted Gross Per Capita Water Use

All permittees required to submit Annual Reports must report unadjusted gross per capita defined as:

WD + IM - EX - TL- SU – EMFP

Where:WD = ground water, and surface water and stormwater withdrawals, IM = water imported/purchasedbought from other another supplier(s). Irrigation water, excluding

RW (see C. Compliance Per Capita below), provided to the applicant's service area by a separate utility shall be counted as imported water

EX = water exported/sold to other supplier(s)TL = treatment loss (typically R/O or sand filtration) SU = significant usesEM = environmental mitigation, if required as a District permit conditionFP = functional population is the served permanent population as adjusted by the seasonal

resident, tourist, group quarters and commuter population within a utility's service area as determined in accordance with "Requirements for the Estimation of Permanent and Temporal Service Area Populations," dated January 1, 2007, as set forth in Part D of the Water Use Permit Information Manual Basis of Review For Water Use Permit Applications.See the paragraph titled “SERVICE AREA FUNCTIONAL POPULATION ESTIMATES WITHIN THE SWUCA” below for further information.

1-1-03, Amended 1-1-07, ______.

B. Adjusted Gross Per Capita Water Use

Permittees with significant uses (SU), or who provide permitted quantities for golf coursesirrigation, or who must provide quantities for environment mitigation as a permit condition may calculate an adjusted gross per capita. [Note: whether or not a significant use is deducted, all must be reported as provided in the "SU" section of "Documentation of Per Capita Daily Water Use Calculations for the Annual Report" below.] Adjusted gross per capita water use is defined as:

(WD + IM – EX – TL – SU – GC - EM) FP

Where:

WD, IM, EX, TL and FP are as defined in A. above.

SU = Significant Use as described below in the provisions titled "Significant Use".

GC = Separately metered golf course irrigation quantities from ground water, surface water, reclaimed water or stormwater provided to golf courses inside the service area. The quantities

19

7

provided may be deducted only if they are included in the permitted quantities for the service area and reported as withdrawals (WD) in the Annual Report. The "GC" withdrawal quantities deducted shall not exceed those actually provided, or those that would be permitted for use by the District, whichever is less.

EM = Quantities permitted and used for environmental mitigation as a condition of the water use permit.

C. Compliance Per Capita Water Use

Some permittees may provide significant quantities of reclaimed wastewater or stormwater to entities that are not customers of their potable water system such that the supply does not reduce the permittee's unadjusted gross or adjusted gross per capita rates, but does reduce those entities' water withdrawals. For purposes of compliance with the 150 gpd per capita use rate, such permittees may submit a compliance per capita that is defined as:

(WD + IM – EX – TL – SU – GC – EM – ST – RW) FP

Where:

WD, IM, EX, TL, SU, GC, EM, and FP are defined as above.

ST = Separately metered and reported stormwater quantities captured by the permittee that are included in the utility's permitted quantities for uses inside the service area other than for golf course irrigation. The stormwater withdrawal quantities deducted shall not exceed the quantities actually provided, or those that would be permitted for the use by the District, whichever is less, Stormwater quantities deducted as golf course (GC) use above may not be included in this deduction for stormwater. The surface withdrawal points from the stormwater catchments shall be permitted on the provider's water use permit and must be reported as withdrawals in the annual report to be deducted. The stormwater deduction shall not be taken where the quality of the ground water source to be permitted or replaced is of lower water quality but is suitable for the intended use, unless the use of the stormwater in such cases reduces adverse impact to the water resources.RW = 50% of reclaimed water that is wastewater that has received at least secondary treatment and is provided as reclaimed water for a beneficial purpose as set forth in Section 3.1 of this Chapter 3. To be deducted, it must be provided to: a. any metered use located outside the utility potable service area boundary, b. any single-site separately-metered use within the utility potable service area boundary that uses 25,000 gallons per day or more on an annual average basis during the per capita reporting period, except that no deduction shall be taken for quantities used for: i. residential irrigation (single family, multi-family or mobile home), or ii. common area irrigation.

Significant Use Within the SWUCA--Public supply utilities often supply water for non-residential customers. If this non-residential use complies with any of the following criteria (listed A. through E. below), the use may be termed a significant use by the applicant and be deducted from the utility's gross total water use prior to calculating their Adjusted Gross Compliance Per Capita Use. Whether or not any single significant use described in Part A. below is deducted for Adjusted Gross compliance Pper Ccapita calculation, all single significant use must be reported in the Annual

20

Report. Golf course and multi-family residential use (whether classified by the utility as commercial customer or not) do not qualify as significant uses.

New 1-1-03, Revised ______.

A. Single Significant Uses--A single significant use is an industrial/commercial (I/C) facility or other non-residential, non-governmental facility (which may consist of one or more buildings under common ownership, maintenance and management control at a single site or campus) that is supplied with greater than or equal to 25,000 gpd of water on an annual average basis (calculated for a calendar year), or whose water use comprises more than 5% of the utility's annual water use (calculated for a calendar year). Facilities that are not related under common ownership, maintenance and management control shall not be combined to meet a single significant use threshold. For reporting purposes, each single significant use shall be identified by customer name, and the annual gallons per day supplied to that customer shall be provided. If the 25,000 gpd criteria is used for a facility, the 5% criteria may not also be used, and vice-versa.

This significant use deduction can be used in conjunction with the significant use deductions associated with regional government, higher education, and regional health care facilities as described in Parts C. and D. below. All of the water provided to businesses where water itself is the primary ingredient in the product can be added to these deductions. Such businesses are described in E. below.

Exclusions: This single significant use deduction shall not be used if the permittee:

1. Uses the District-Wide Percent I/C Use method described below, or

2. Includes commuter population estimates in their service area population estimates.

New 1-1-03, Revised _____.

B. District-Wide Percent I/C Use--Utilities with a large number of I/C (industrial/commercial) accounts, which fall below the 25,000 gpd single significant use threshold or the 5% of total utility use threshold may combine these smaller uses and deduct the percent of their I/C use that is greater than the District-wide three-year average percent I/C use which will be available annually from the District. Documentation for this method shall include completion and submittal to the District of the I/C Worksheet, contained in Part D, Appendix C, of the Basis of Review, where commercial accounts are to be grouped by meter size, the total number of accounts shown as well as the total quantities supplied to each meter-size group. The deduction shall be calculated as follows:

1. Sum the total actual use for these accounts and divide by the total Gross Water Use Form A of the Public Supply Per Capita Survey (supplied by the District) to determine the utility's percent I/C use. 2. From the Public Supply residential water use tables in the District's three most recently published "Estimated Water Use" reports, add the total for each of the three year's Public Supply District "Gross Use" and add each of the three year's District "I/C Use". 3. Divide the summed "I/C Use" by the summed "Gross Use" to derive the District-wide three-year average percent I/C use (to be referred to as the "District-Wide Percent I/C Use"). 4. Compare the Permittee's percent I/C Use to the District-Wide Percent I/C Use. If the Permittees' percent is equal to or less than the District-Wide Percent I/C Use, no deduction may be taken. If the Permittee's percent I/C use is higher, subtract the District-wide Percent I/C Use from the Permittee's percent I/C use to find the difference in percentages. 5. Multiply the Permittee's Gross Use by the difference in percentages.

21

Example: 1. A permittee's Gross Use is 5 MGD, and their combined I/C Use is 1.5 MGD.

Their percent I/C Use is (1.5 MGD / 5 MGD) = 30%. 2. The sum of all Public Supply permittees' "Gross Use" for 2000, 2001, and 2002,

as published in the District's 2000, 2001, and 2002 Estimated Water Use Reports, is 1,218 MGD, and the sum of all Public Supply permittees' "I/C Use" for the same three years is 283 MGD. 3. The District-wide Percent I/C Use is (283 MGD / 1,218 MGD) = 23.2%. 4. The permittee's percent is higher, so 30% - 23.2% = 6.8% 5. 6.8 % times 5 MGD = 0.340 MGD.

The permittee may deduct 340,000 gpd from their total gross water use prior to calculating the compliance per capita water use.

Exclusions: This method of significant use calculation may not be used if the permittee:

1. Uses any other significant use deduction method, or

2. Includes commuter population in its estimate of service area functional population.

New 1-1-03, Revised

C. Combined Regional Government and Higher Education Facilities--Some of the water provided to regional governmental or higher educational facilities (which may consist of one or more buildings under common ownership, maintenance and management) that are located inside the utility's service area but also serve persons who live outside of the utility's service area may be deducted. The name and use for each facility deducted must be provided. The deduction shall be calculated as follows:

1. Add the gallons per day of water provided to all of these facilities.

2. Using the most recent U.S. Census for the county, determine the percent of the permanent county population not living in the utility's service area.

3. Multiply the percent of county residents who do not live within the utility's service area times the combined use of the facilities. The amount calculated can be deducted.

Note: City parks, recreation centers, public and private K-through-12 schools, city or town governmental facilities, local vocational-technological schools and other facilities which generally only serve the service area population shall be excluded. The following are examples of facilities for which the water provided may be partially deducted:

a. Community colleges, colleges and universities (public or private), and b. County, state, and federal regional administrative and maintenance facilities. Exclusions: The water use of these facilities may not be deducted under the provisions of this section if the permittee:

1. Uses the District-Wide Percent I/C Use method, or

2. Includes commuter population estimates in service area population estimates.

D. Individual Regional Health Facilities--Some of the water provided to health care facilities such as regional hospitals or specialty clinics (which may consist of one or more buildings at a single site or campus under common ownership, maintenance and management)

22

10

that are inside the utility's service area but also serve persons living outside the utility service area boundaries may be deducted. The allowable deduction is calculated individually for each health care facility. It is the ratio of annual admissions with patient zip codes outside the service area to the total number of annual admissions times the water provided to the health care facility. The name and water use for each facility must be provided.

Exclusions: The water use of these facilities may not be deducted as an individual significant use under the provisions of this section if the permittee:

1. Uses the District-Wide Percent I/C Use method, or

2. Includes commuter population estimates in service area population estimates.

E. Individual Industrial/Commercial Facilities Where Water is the Primary Ingredient of the Final Product--Individual facilities such as brewers, soft-drink bottlers, and juice reconstitution plants (which may consist of one or more buildings at a single site or campus under common ownership, maintenance and management) where water is the primary ingredient of the final product may deduct 100% of the water in the product.

The permittee may choose to also take single significant use deductions described in A. above or use commuter population in its estimate of the functional population, but not both.

Exclusions: The water use of such facilities cannot be deducted if the permittee uses the District-Wide Percent I/C Use method.

CALCULATION OF PROJECTED PERMITTED QUANTITIES

Existing public water supply permittee applicants' permit maximum average annual daily quantities for the year of interest shall be based on the most recent five year average of compliance per capita water use or a compliance per capita of 150 gpcd plus adjustments for allowable deductions, whichever is less. New public water supply permittee applicants' maximum average annual daily permit quantities shall be based on a projected compliance per capita or a compliance per capita of 150 gpcd plus adjustments for allowable deductions, whichever is less. The methods for calculating these maximum average annual daily quantities are set forth in Steps 1, 2 and 3 below.

It is in the interest of the permittee to identify and document existing and projected allowable deductions from the per capita compliance formulas in the provisions titled "PER CAPITA DAILY WATER USE", above. If not accurately identified and documented, sufficient permitted quantities may not be permitted. All water quantities in the below calculations are in average gallons per day.

The acronyms for the variables in the following formulas and equations are the same as defined in the provisions titled "PER CAPITA DAILY WATER USE", above.

Step 1. Use the following equation to determine whether the requested withdrawals, deductions and population achieve a compliance per capita of 150 gpcd or less:

((WD + IM - EX - TL) - (SU + GC + EM) – (ST + RW)) / FP

If the compliance per capita is less than or equal to 150 gpcd, the maximum allowable withdrawals are those determined in Step 1. If the results exceed 150 gpcd, continue with Step 2.

23

11

Step 2. If based on Step 1, the compliance per capita is greater than 150 gpcd and the service area Census persons per household (calculated as PERMPPH in Part D of the Basis of Review) is 2.01or more, proceed to Step 3. If the PERMPPH is less than 2.01, then the applicant may adjust the persons per household to reflect a persons per household of 2.01. If the PERMPPH is less than 2.01, and the projection method uses a projected population based on less than 2.01 and the projection method allows the isolation of population cohorts included in BEBR population projections (permanent resident population), then the BEBR portion of the projected population may be multiplied by a ratio of 2.01 over the PERMPPH for the service area to arrive at an adjusted population. The ratio may not be applied to any projected optional populations such as tourist or net commuter.

Example PPH Adjustment: (BEBR Portion of Projected Population x 2.01 / PERMPPH) – BEBR Portion of Projected Population

If the projected population is based on a base year functional population using the Basis of Review Part D methodology times an increase in residential connections, then 2.01 may be substituted for the actual service area PERMPPH in the calculation of the base year population. The PPH adjustment to the projected population is:

(((base year functional population using 2.01 PERMPPH) / (base year functional population using the lower actual service area PERMPPH)) x projected functional population) – projected functional population)

The following formula is used to determine the new per capita based on the adjusted population:

(((WD + IM - EX - TL) - (SU + GC + EM) – (ST + RW)) / (FP + PPH Adjustment))

If the adjusted population compliance per capita does not exceed 150 gpcd, the maximum allowable average annual daily withdrawal is that determined in Step 2. If the adjusted population compliance per capita exceeds 150 gpcd, then proceed to Step 3.

Step 3. If the projected compliance per capita of150 gpcd cannot be achieved through allowable deductions or population adjustments, then the maximum average annual daily allowable WD shall be calculated using the following equations to solve for WD, TL and then an adjusted WD that includes TL:

((WD + IM - EX) - (SU + GC + EM) – (ST + RW)) / (FP + PPH Adjustment)) = target gpcd for year of interest, in this case 150 gpcd

Where the applicable projected quantities are substituted in for all variables and then solved for WD. Once the value of WD is calculated, then use the following equation to determine treatment losses:

TL = WD x treatment loss percent.

The adjusted maximum allowable average annual daily quantity for the year of interest is then calculated as:

Adjusted withdrawal = WD + TL from above.New ______

Deducted Water Uses Within The SWUCA—

Any uses which are deducted from the per-capita daily water use based on the above guidelines shall be supported with documentation demonstrating that they significant uses, environmental mitigation or treatment losses and shall include documentation of usage quantities. Multi-family residential accounts classified by the utility as commercial and irrigation accounts associated with residential accounts are not significant uses and may not be deducted. Additionally, all significant uses must be accounted for in a water conservation plan developed by the applicant/permittee which includes specific water conservation programs for each use or type of use.

A water survey must be conducted for each individual significant use deducted under A. Single Significant Use, D. Individual Regional Health Facilities and E. Individual Industrial/Commercial Facilities Where Water is the Primary Ingredient of the Final Product, above. A water conservation plan and water survey specific to each business type (e.g., offices, restaurants, retail/wholesale, etc.) or group type (government or higher education) for each significant use type that is deducted as a significant use shall be provided in lieu of a water conservation plan for each individual I/C customer included pursuant to B. District-Wide Percent I/C Use, and C. Combined Regional Government and Higher Education Facilities above. This survey shall document the types of water uses that occur within the significant user's facility, the quantities associated with these uses, and any leak-detectionor conservation activities undertaken by the user. [The following sentence moved to paragraph "Ex" of the provisions below titled "Documentation of Per Capita Daily Water Use Calculations for the Annual Report".] Water supplied to wholesale public supply customers that are not required to obtain a Wholesale Public Supply Water Use Permit shall be identified and reported separately, with a separate per-capita use calculated for each wholesale customer in addition to the wholesaler.

Reporting and Compliance with Adjusted Gross Per Capita Daily Water Use in the SWUCA—If the permittee achieves the 150 gpd per person per capita limit set forth in the provisions titled "PER CAPITA DAILY WATER USE" above, using the unadjusted gross per capita calculation, they will be deemed in compliance and do not have to submit data for nor calculate the adjusted gross or compliance per capita.

If the permittee achieves the 150 gpd per person per capita limit using the adjusted gross per capita calculation, they will be deemed in compliance and do not have to submit data for nor calculate the compliance per capita.

If the permittee achieves the 150 per person per capita limit using the compliance per capita calculation they will be deemed in compliance.

Where the permittee's service area persons-per-household calculated as PERMPPH in Part D of the Basis of Review is less than 2.01 persons-per-household, the permittee may substitute 2.01 persons-per-household for PERMPPH to calculate the compliance per capita rate. If the permittee achieves the 150 per person per capita limit using 2.01 persons-per-household calculation they will be deemed in compliance.

If the permittee cannot achieve a compliance per capita rate of 150 gpd per person, All permittees whose permit requires the submittal of pumpage data shall calculate and report adjusted gross per capita water usage annually as outlined above. If a permittee has an adjusted gross per capita rate greater than 150 gpd, the pPermittee shall document in the Annual Report why this rate was not

achieved, measures taken to comply with this requirement, and a plan to bring the permit into compliance with the 150 gpd rate. This report is subject to District approval. The District reserves the right to enforce the terms and conditions of the permit.New 1-1-07, Revised ______.

The District will evaluate the information submitted by Permittees, including those operating under a Goal-based Water Conservation Plan, who have a compliance per capita rate greater than 150 gpd do not achieve this requirement to determine whether the lack of achievement is justifiable and a variance is warranted. Permittees may justify lack of achievement by documenting any unusual water needs, such as unusual plant establishment needs larger than average lot sizes with greater irrigation needs. However, justification for non-compliance does not constitute a waiver of the District's authority to enforce the terms and conditions of the permit. Pphased reductions in water use shall be required unless the District determines that water usage was reasonable under the circumstances reported and that further reductions are not feasible. For such Permittees, individual water conservation requirements shall may be developed on a case-by-case basis.

The following four provisions are moved ahead in Section 3.6 as shown above.

POPULATION ESTIMATES In service areas without significant seasonal population fluctuations, the use of permanent population estimates is appropriate. In service areas where there are significant seasonal population changes, itis to the advantage of the Applicant to estimate the seasonal population for use in conjunction with permanent population in the calculation of per capita daily water demand. If significant seasonal population fluctuations are not accounted for, per capita water daily water use may be over-estimated. Ten years of permanent and seasonal (if applicable) population growth must be projected, on a yearly basis, for the area served by the application.

When population estimates are required for years in between those estimates with published or referenced estimates, the Applicant must interpolate the data. The Applicant may assume that population increases in equal increments in the years between established estimates.

30

18

POPULATION DATA Population data are available from the following sources: University of Florida Bureau of Economics and Business Research (BEBR), Regional Planning Council (RPC), County Planning Departments, the District Planning Department, or Comprehensive Land Use Plan (developed under Chapter 9J-5,F.A.C.). Use of other population data or methods other than those identified above may be considered if thoroughly documented. Counties and municipalities are required to estimate seasonal population as part of the comprehensive planning process. If such data are not available, seasonal service area population may be estimated using methods recommended by the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). Applicants may also identify tourist population, if known.

CALCULATION OF SEASONALLY ADJUSTED POPULATION Seasonally adjusted population is a weighted population that takes into account seasonal fluctuations. If monthly seasonal population data are available, then individual monthly estimates should be used in calculations.

For example:Seasonal Population:

November 10,000 December 110,000 January 120,000 February 120,000

460,000

Permanent Population: 100,000 100,000 x 8 months = 800,000 (Seasonal Population) + 460,000

1,260,000

1,260 12 months =105,000 seasonally adjusted population

CALCULATION OF TOURIST-ADJUSTED POPULATION Where projected short-term tourist population data are available, tourist population data may be included in seasonally adjusted population estimates. Tourists generally only represent demand for indoor uses of water, so the Applicant should estimate tourist use at one-half of permanent or seasonal population daily use. This estimate is accomplished by utilizing one-half of the estimated tourist population for a given time period in calculations. For example, if November for a given year is projected to have a permanent population of 100,000, a seasonal population of 10,000, and a tourist population of 10,000, the November population to be used in the seasonally adjusted population calculation would be 100,000 + 10,000 + 0.5(10,000) = 115,000.

SERVICE AREA FUNCTIONAL POPULATION ESTIMATES – FOR CURRENT YEAR, YEAR OF INTEREST AND ANNUAL REPORTS WITHIN THE SWUCA

Permittees required to submit service area functional population estimates in the SWUCA shall estimate permanent resident, temporal resident, and group quarter populations. Service area tourist and net commuter population may be estimated as well. All estimates must be prepared in accordance with "Requirements for the Estimation of Permanent and Temporal Service Area Populations," dated January 1, 2007, as set forth in Part D of the Basis of Review For Water Use

Public supply permittees whose permit requires the submittal of pumpage data shall submit the applicable Worksheets from Part D and supporting documentation for calculations of per capita rates utilizing this standardized methodology beginning two years from January 1, 2007. For those permittees with no withdrawals in the SWUCA as of [effective date of rule], this date shall be beginning two years from [effective date of rule].New 1-1-07, Revised _______.

WATER AUDITS CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE SWUCA

Water Audit--All water supply permittees within the SWUCA shall implement water audit programs within 2 years of permit issuance. Water audits which identify a greater than 12% unaccounted water shall be followed by appropriate remedial actions. A thorough water audit can identify what is causing unaccounted water and alert the utility to the possibility of significant losses in the distribution system. Unaccounted water can be attributed to a variety of causes, including unauthorized uses, line flushing, authorized unmetered uses, under-registration of meters, fire flows, and leaks. Any losses that are measured and verifiably documented are not considered unaccounted water. Large, complex water supply systems may conduct the audit in phases, with prior approval by the District. Each annual report shall state the percentage of unaccounted water. If any annual report reflects a greater than 12% unaccounted water, the permittee must complete a water audit within 90 days of submittal of the annual report. A water audit report shall be submitted within 90 days of completion of the water audit. The water audit report shall include a summary of the water audit and an implementation schedule for remedial actions to reduce the unaccounted water below 12%. The District shall take into account a permittee's adherence to the remedial action plan in any subsequent years when the permittee's annual report reflects greater than 12% unaccounted water. 1-1-03, Revised _______.

EXEMPTIONS FROM WATER CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS

Permittees within the SWUCA whose permitted annual average quantity is less than 100,000 gallons per day are exempted from the residential water use report, water conserving rate structure, and water audit requirements, if otherwise applicable.1-1-03, Revised _______.

6.0 PERMIT CONDITIONS

The following public supply permit conditions are changed as follows:

28. Data Gathering (Public Supply > 100,000 500,000)

Condition: The Permittee shall establish and/or maintain data gathering procedures that allow amounts of water to be accounted into various categories. These categories may be by either meter size or use, such as residential, commercial, industrial, unaccounted, and other. The procedures must produce data suitable for developing reliable estimates of current water use and projections of future water demand.

Conditions 29. – 32. are renumbered as 28. – 31.

7.0 WATER USE CAUTION AREAS

7.3 NORTHERN TAMPA BAY WATER USE CAUTION AREA

The following provisions are deleted from Section 7.3.

1.1 Per-Capita Use

Per-capita daily water use is defined as population-related withdrawals associated with residential, business, institutional, industrial, miscellaneous metered, and unaccounted uses.Permittees with per-capita daily water use which is skewed by the demands of significant water uses can deduct these uses provided that these uses are separately accounted. Generally, the formula used for determining gallons per day per capita is as follows: total withdrawal minus significant uses, environmental mitigation, and treatment losses, divided by the population served (adjusted for seasonal and tourist populations, if appropriate). For interconnected systems, incoming transfers and wholesale purchases of water shall be added to withdrawals; outgoing transfers and wholesale sales of water shall be deducted from withdrawals.

A significant use, which may be deducted, is defined as an individual non-residential customer using 25,000 gallons per day or greater on an annual average basis, or an individual non-residential customer whose use represents greater than 5% of the utility's annual water use.

Any uses which are deducted from the per-capita daily water use based on the above guidelinesshall be supported with documentation of the use and associated quantities. Additionally, all significant deducted uses must be accounted for in a water conservation plan developed by the applicant/permittee which includes specific water conservation goals for each use or type of use. Environmental mitigation quantities permitted by the District and treatment losses such as desalination reject water and sand-filtration backwash water shall be identified and reported separately, and shall not be included in the calculation of per-capita use. Treatment losses for each type of treatment plant (e.g., desalination, sand filtration) shall be calculated separately. Treatment losses are calculated as raw water into the plant minus treated water out of the plant.

All permittees shall calculate and report gross per-capita water usage as outlined above.However, for purposes of compliance with per-capita requirements, a permittee may also calculate and report a per-capita use rate that reflects incentives for reuse and the use of desalination sources.

For compliance purposes, a permittee may deduct the quantity of reclaimed water delivered for uses not served by the permittee's water utility. Allowable deductions shall be limited to those quantities that would normally be permitted for the activity (e.g., if reuse is supplied for golf course irrigation, the acreage of greens, tees, and fairways must be submitted, and the quantity of potable water that would be permitted for that use would be deducted from the total quantity used for compliance with the per-capita requirement). Where the ground water source to be permitted or replaced is of significantly lower water quality but is suitable for the intended use, the reuse credit may not be claimed (e.g., reclaimed water replaces saline withdrawals used for irrigation, where the saline water is suitable for the irrigation and the withdrawals do not threaten the water resources). Reclaimed water is wastewater that has received at least secondary treatment and is reused for a beneficial purpose. A permittee may deduct only the quantity of reclaimed water under the control of the utility, supplier, or governmental unit holding the water use permit.

33

21

For compliance purposes, a permittee may deduct 50% of the quantity of finished water from desalination sources prior to blending with water derived from freshwater sources. A desalination source is a plant which removes salts and other chemicals from highly mineralized water of greater than 500 mg/l Total Dissolved Solids.

Acceptable data sources for service area population and seasonal/tourist population adjustments are described in Section 3.6 of the Basis of Review. If the service area population is developed using a person per unit factor, then calculation of the factor must be documented indicating that the factor is reasonable for the service area. In cases where seasonal adjustment is appropriate and the service area is smaller than the area covered by the applicable comprehensive or regional plan, then the same seasonal adjustment factors used to adjust the permanent population of the planning area may be applied to the permanent population of the service area. Other methods of calculating service area population may be used provided that the methodology is accepted by the District as appropriate for the service area. Estimates of population shall be based on information developed or reported no more than twelve months prior to the applicable management period. When reporting per capita rates, the service area of a permitted public supply utility or supplier shall consist of the area which the permittee exerts management control for public water supply.

January 1, 1993 Management PeriodPublic Supply uses within the Water Use Caution Area shall meet, at a minimum, an overall maximum per capita water use rate of 150 gallons per day for the January 1, 1993 management period. This standard shall remain in effect until modified by rule. However, for planning purposes, also listed are per-capita goals for future management periods. Public supply permittees shall also document the quantities supplied to deducted uses, and the water conservation measures employed for deducted significant uses.

January 1, 1997 Management PeriodBased on information collected for the period 1990-1992, the per-capita rate will be developed for the January 1, 1997 management period and adopted by rule with sufficient time for permittees to prepare for the 1997 management period. Based on current information, the per capita water use rate goal would be 140 gallons per day.

January 1, 2001 Management PeriodBased on information collected for the period 1993-1996, the per-capita rate will be developed for the January 1, 2001 management period and adopted by rule with sufficient time forpermittees to prepare for the 2001 management period. Based on current information, the per capita water use rate goal would be 130 gallons per day.

January 1, 2011 Management PeriodBased on information collected for the period 1997-2000, the per-capita rate will be developed for the January 1, 2011 management period and adopted by rule with sufficient time for permittees to prepare for the 2011 management period. Based on current information, the per-capita water use rate goal would be 130 gallons per day.

This requirement shall be implemented by applying the following permit conditions to all existing and new public supply permits:

1. By January 1, 1993, the Permittee shall achieve a per capita water rate equal to or less than 150 gpd. This standard shall remain in effect until modified by rule. For planning purposes, listed below are per-capita goals for future management periods. These goals may be established as requirements through future rulemaking by the District:

34

22

a. By January 1, 1997, the District may establish a new per capita water use standard. Based on current information, the per capita water use goal may be established by rule at 140 gpd;

b. By January 1, 2001, the District may establish a new per capita water use standards. Based on current information, the per capita water use goal may be established by rule at 130 gpd; and,

c. By January 1, 2011, the District may establish a new per capita water use standard. Based on current information, the per capita water use goal may be established by rule at 130 gpd;

2. By April 1 of each year for the preceding fiscal year (October 1 through September 30), the permittee shall submit a report detailing:

a. The population served;b. Significant deducted uses, the associated quantity, and conservation measures

applied to these uses;c. Total withdrawals;d. Treatment losses.e. Environmental mitigation quantities.f. Sources and quantities of incoming and outgoing transfers of water and

wholesale purchases and sales of water, with quantities determined at the supplier's departure point.

g. Documentation of reuse and desalination credits, if taken.

As of January 1, 1993, if the permittee does not achieve the specified per capita rates, the report shall document why these rates and requirements were not achievable, measures taken to attempt meeting them, and a plan to bring the permit into compliance. This report is subject to District approval. If the report is not approved, the Permittee is in violation of the Water Use Permit.

3. The District will evaluate information submitted by Permittees who do not achieve these requirements to determine whether the lack of achievement is justifiable and a variance is warranted. Permittees may justify lack of achievement by documenting unusual water needs, such as larger than average lot sizes with greater water irrigation needs than normal-sized lots.However, even with such documented justification, phased reductions in water use shall be required unless the District determines that water usage was reasonable under the circumstances reported and that further reductions are not feasible. For such Permittees, on a case-by-case basis, individual water conservation requirements may be developed for each management period.

Prior to the 1997, 2001, and 2011 management periods, the District will reassess the per-capitaand other uses conservation goals. As a result of this reassessment, these goals may be adjusted upward or downward through rulemaking and will become requirements.

1.4 Residential Water Use Reports

Beginning April 1, 1993, public supply permittees shall be required to annually report residential water use by type of dwelling unit. Residential dwelling units shall be classified into single family, multi-family (two or more dwelling units), and mobile homes. Residential water use consists of the indoor and outdoor water uses associated with these classes of dwelling units, including irrigation uses, whether separately metered or not. The permittee shall document the methodology used to determine the number of dwelling units by type and their quantities used. Estimates of water use based upon meter size may be inaccurate and will not be accepted.

35

23

This requirement shall be implemented by applying the following permit condition to all public supply permits:

Beginning in 1993, by April 1 of each year for the preceding fiscal year (October 1 through September 30), the permittee shall submit a residential water use report detailing:

a. The number of single family dwelling units served and their total water use,b. The number of multi-family dwelling units served and their total water use,c. The number of mobile homes served and their total water use.

Residential water use quantities shall include both the indoor and outdoor water uses associatedwith the dwelling units, including irrigation water.

WATER USE PERMIT INFORMATION MANUAL Part D

The following change is made to the title of Part D:

Requirements for the Estimation of Permanent and Temporal Service Area Populations in the Southern Water Use Caution Area

The following changes are made in Part D:

List of Acronyms and Definitions

PERMPOP - permanent resident population for the year of interest - the estimated permanent resident population of the service area (not including group quarters population) that does not reside outside the service area for a portion of the year.

RESUNITS – average residential account housing units for the year of interest – the number of residential housing units served in the retail service area in January and December of the year of interest divided by two.

1.0 Introduction

The calculation of per capita water use requires an estimate of the total retail water service area functional population. The required functional population includes permanent residents, seasonal residents and group quarters population only. Adding the functional tourist and net commuter population to the required functional population is optional. Data sources, more detailed explanations, and examples of calculations may be found in the appendices to this document. All calculations and documentation shall be conducted and provided in accordance with the provisions of this document, including those found in the appendices.

This methodology involves the creation of a number of demographic ratios from Census or survey data that are appropriate to the service area. The ratios, such as persons-per-household, are then applied to the year of interest housing units and/or population served to estimate year of interest service area populations.

If the service area did not exist at the time of the most recent decennial Census, the permittee must conduct a survey, consistent with the provisions of Appendix B of this document to determine seasonal and permanent population served. Data collected must include both seasonal and permanent households, seasonal and permanent persons-per-household, and seasonal resident household length of stay.

From time to time, the District may provide additional data and default values or update data and default values and will specifically indicate that the new or service area summarized data and values may be used in lieu of those prescribed herein.

Appendix A

The title of Appendix A, Part D is changed as follows:

Population Data Sources, Details & Examples For Worksheets A-I To Part D of the Basis of Review For Water Use Permit: Requirements for the Estimation of Permanent and Temporal Service Area Populations in the Southern Water Use Caution

Area

The following changes are made to Appendix A, Part D as follows:

1.1 Utility Data RequiredThe number average of actual or equivalent residential account housing units served in April January and December of the year of interest for the retail water service area.

2.3 Census Geographic Identity Codes (STFID) The Census numeric code for the identification of a single Census block consists of a string of numbers called the STFID. For example, the STFID 120150101001001 is interpreted as:

State = “12” (Florida) County = “015” (Charlotte) Tract= “010100”

Block Group = “1” = the first digit of the block number Block = “1001”

The county codes for the counties in the SWUCA are: Charlotte = 015 Desoto = 027 Citrus = 017 Hardee = 049 Hernando = 053 Highlands = 055 Hillsborough = 057 Lake = 069Levy = 075 Manatee = 081 Marion = 083 Pasco = 101Pinellas = 103 Polk = 105 Sarasota = 115 Sumter = 119

4.11 Worksheet B Section 13 – Calculation of Group Quarters Population Calculate the ratio of Census group quarters population (CGRUPPOP) to Census housing units (CHOUSUNITS) for the Census blocks wholly or partially within the service area. This ratio is then applied to the residential units served for the year of interest (RESUNITS) from Section 1 of Worksheet B. Permittees may also elect to survey group quarters population customers to determine the service area group quarters population. The survey must be conducted in accordance with the minimum sample size requirements of Appendix B of this document and the population must be estimated in a manner consistent with the Census definition of group quarters population. Since group quarters population is included in the service area population, the permittee may not treat group quarters accounts as commercial for purposes of deducting significant uses pursuant to “PER CAPITA DAILY WATER USE IN THE SWUCA,” Section

38

26

3.6 of the Basis of Review. Group quarters population for the year of interest (GRUPPOP) shall be calculated as follows:

(Census group quarters population / Census housing units) x residential units served for the year of interest = GRUPPOP

5.1.1 Inventory of Service Area Public Lodging Rooms For public lodging facilities such as hotels/motels, RV parks/campgrounds and short-term rental condominiums, “rooms”, “sites”, and “units” are used interchangeably. The number of available rooms in the service area shall be obtained from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), local convention/visitor bureaus (if tailored to the service area), utility billing records or a survey of utility lodging customers (see Section 5.1.4 of this Appendix). The District intends to provide a periodically updated electronic map of lodging facilities and numbers of rooms on its website. This file can be used with geographic information systems to determine the number of facilities and lodging units within a utility service area.

If not available from the District, the number of available public lodging rooms in the service area may be derived from data on the DBPR website www.myflorida.com/dbpr. The website provides information on the number of rooms along with the business name and location address that can be used to determine whether the lodging facility is located in the service area. Facilities are coded by type. The DBPR lodging facility codes to be used estimating available rooms are: 2001 (hotels), 2002 (motels), 2005 (bed and breakfast), 2006 (resort condominiums) and 2007 (resort dwellings). Only served facilities and lodging rooms may be included. (Note: If resort condominiums and dwellings are included in the utility's residential customer classes and are counted as public lodging units for tourist population estimation, then the number of such units shall be deducted from the dwelling unit counts in Worksheet A.)

5.1.2 Average Annual Monthly Occupancy RateIf monthly occupancy rates are not available from utility customer/consultant surveys, existing studies or sources such as conventions/visitor bureaus or the District, the average monthly occupancy rate shall be calculated by averaging the monthly, quarterly or seasonal occupancy rates according to the available data. The average annual occupancy rate may also be used as the monthly occupancy rate. Only data from source studies that include the service area shall be utilized. The geographic scope of average annual occupancy rate studies shall be no larger than county-wide unless the data are from a regional convention/visitors bureau. The example below shows the calculation of the average annual monthly occupancy rate from data other than utility lodging customer survey data. See Section 5.1.4 of this Appendix for an example of the

calculation of occupancy rates from customer survey data.

The title of the Supplement "Optional Net Commuter Data" is changed as follows:

OPTIONAL NET COMMUTER DATA, Southern Water Use Caution Area, Supplement To Appendix A, Population Data Sources, Details & Examples for Worksheets A-I

The following changes will be made to this Optional Net Commuter Date Supplement:

Tables will be added titled "Workers, Resident Workers, Net Commuters, and Total Housing Units, Census 2000 Tracts" for the 8 counties that are not in the SWUCA .

Worksheet G:Remove "Draft 08/03/06"Within Part 3: Redesignate the acronym for Service Area Residential Account Housing Units for the Year of Interest from "RAHUYI" to "RESUNITS".

The title of Appendix B, Part D is changed as follows:

Item 47


Approve Initiation of Rulemaking to Amend Environmental Resource Permitting Rules 40D-4.091 and the Basis of Review Regarding Mitigation for Impacts to Wetlands and Other Surface Waters

The purpose of this item is to clarify certain provisions in Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP) rules pertaining to mitigation for adverse impacts to wetlands and other surface waters.

Section 373.414(1)(b), Florida Statutes states: "If the applicant is unable to otherwise meet the criteria set forth in this subsection, the governing board or the department, in deciding to grant or deny a permit, shall consider measures proposed by or acceptable to the applicant to mitigate adverse effects that may be caused by the regulated activity."

Sections 3.3 through 3.3.8 in the ERP Basis of Review establish criteria to be followed by District staff in evaluating mitigation proposals and to be followed by applicants in providing reasonable assurance of mitigation success.

Specifically, staff has identified several issues that can affect the long term ecological viability, or "success" of preservation, through the use of conservation easements, as mitigation for adverse impacts to wetlands and other surface waters. For example, to ensure that conservation easements are conveyed free of encumbrances that may adversely affect the ecological viability of the mitigation, in 2004 the District began requiring applicants to provide title insurance for conservation easements. An important issue involves the timing of submittal of the draft conservation easement and title commitment as well as the recording of the final conservation easement and receipt of the title policy. Other issues regard the potential necessity for the applicant to provide financial assurances that the conservation easement will be monitored and maintained in perpetuity and/or the development of a recertification process that would provide the necessary assurance of long term success. Additionally, in recognition of new Federal rules regarding mitigation, staff would like to consider improvements to ERP criteria pertaining to wetland creation, restoration and enhancement, and opportunities for greater consistency with Federal rules.

Rule 40D-4.091, F.A.C., incorporates by reference those documents and agreements cited within ERP rules. Coincident with revisions to the Basis of Review, this section must also be revised to reflect those revisions and to indicate the new effective date.

If the initiation of rulemaking is approved, District staff will schedule the item for discussion with each of the ERP Advisory Groups and with any interested Governing Board Advisory Committees. Final proposed rule language will be brought to the Governing Board for approval at a future date.


Approve the initiation of rulemaking to amend Rule 40D-4.059, F.A.C., and Sections 3.3 through 3.3.8 of the ERP Basis of Review to clarify provisions related to mitigation.

Regulation Committee June 24, 2008 Routine Report

Public Supply Benchmarks

The Board has expressed an interest in having comparative information available for public supply water use. This chart includes information relating to both potable and reclaimed water usage from county and regional perspectives. Utility, population, per capita use, and water rate information is contained on the left side of the table. Wastewater flow and reclaimed water information is presented on the right side, including the amount of ground water offset by the reclaimed water. Sources and notes are displayed below the chart. The table was updated in November with provisional 2006 information in order to make available the most recent data on hand. Note, however, that the data are still being analyzed and are subject to refinement after further review.

Central Florida Coordination Area Rules Development and ImplementationRegulation and Legal staff continue to coordinate with St. John's River and South Florida district staff on the development of regulations for the Central Florida Coordination Area. The first phase of regulations was approved by all three Governing Boards at their December meetings. Resource Projects and Regulation staff are reviewing the South Florida Water Management District's (SFWMD) draft Kissimmee River yield study to determine the water supply implications. The original projected yield of this project was significantly reduced in the draft study, which, within this District, could affect water supply for Polk County. New activities since last meeting: Staffs of the three Districts continue to meet to collaboratively review the Kissimmee River yield report in detail. Additionally, staff is coordinating on a SFWMD study of the lower Floridan aquifer that could potentially supply Polk County. Staff of the three Districts has been meeting to develop a plan to evaluate the sustainability issues of the CFCA and chart a course for the next phase of regulations that will focus on longer-term solutions to the area's water resource issues. Meetings on this topic occurred throughout May, with additional meetings scheduled for June.

Statewide Stormwater RuleUnmanaged urban stormwater creates a wide variety of effects on Florida’s surface and ground waters. Urbanization leads to the compaction of soil; the addition of impervious surfaces such as roads and parking lots; alteration of natural landscape features such as natural depressional areas which hold water, floodplains and wetlands; construction of highly efficient drainage systems; and the addition of pollutants from everyday human activities. These alterations within a watershed decrease the amount of rainwater that can seep into the soil to recharge our aquifers, maintain water levels in lakes and wetlands, and maintain spring and stream flows. Consequently, the volume, speed, and pollutant loading in stormwater that runs off developed areas increases, leading to flooding, water quality problems and loss of habitat. To manage urban stormwater and minimize these impacts to our natural systems, Florida was the first state in the country to adopt a rule requiring the treatment of stormwater to a specified level of pollutant load reduction for all new development. Florida’s original stormwater rule was adopted in 1981 and went into effect in February 1982. The stormwater rule is a technology-based rule that relies upon four key components: A performance standard or goal for the minimum level of treatment Design criteria for best management practices (BMPs) that will achieve the performance standard

A rebuttable presumption that discharges from a stormwater management system designed in accordance with the BMP design criteria will not cause harm to water resources.

Periodic review and updating of BMP design criteria as more information becomes available to increase their effectiveness in removing pollutants.

Florida’s stormwater rules were developed to meet a performance standard of reducing the post-development stormwater pollutant loading of Total Suspended Solids by 80%, or by 95% for stormwater discharges directly into Outstanding Florida Waters. This level of treatment was selected for two reasons: To establish equitability in treatment requirements between point and nonpoint sources of pollution. The minimum level of treatment for domestic wastewater point sources was “secondary treatment” which equated to an 80% reduction in TSS.

The costs of stormwater treatment greatly increased as the level of treatment rose above 80%.

In 1990, in response to legislation, the Department developed and implemented the State Water resource Implementation Rule (originally known as the State Water Policy rule). This rule sets forth the broad guidelines for the implementation of Florida’s stormwater program and describes the roles of DEP, the water management districts, and local governments. The rule provides that one of the primary goals of the program is to maintain, to the degree possible, during and after construction and development, the predevelopment stormwater characteristics of a site. The rule also provides a specific minimum performance standard for stormwater treatment

56

Item 52 systems: to remove 80% of the post-development stormwater pollutant loading of pollutants “that cause or contribute to violations of water quality standards.” This performance standard is significantly different than the original one used in Florida’s stormwater treatment rules. However, for a variety of reasons, the BMP design criteria in the stormwater or environmental resource permitting rules of DEP or the WMDs were never updated to achieve this level of treatment.

In 1999, the Florida Watershed Restoration Act, Section 403.067, F.S., was enacted leading to the implementation of Florida’s water body restoration program and the establishment of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). A TMDL is the maximum amount of a specific pollutant that can be discharged to a waterbody while maintaining water quality standards. A TMDL must be established and implemented for all impaired waters – water bodies or water body segments that are not currently meeting their applicable water quality standards. Since the program began over 2000 impairments have been verified in Florida’s surface waters with nutrients identified as the major cause of impairments. Additionally, nutrient enrichment of ground waters and springs has been recognized as a major concern in Florida. To address the growing problem of nutrient enrichment of Florida’s surface and ground waters, a number of initiatives have been undertaken by DEP, the WMDs, and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. One such initiative is the Statewide Stormwater Treatment Rule which will increase the level of nutrient removal required of stormwater treatment systems serving new development. This rule will be based upon a performance standard that the post-development nutrient load will not exceed the nutrient load from natural, undeveloped areas.

Staff continues to coordinate with the FDEP and other water management districts regarding potential changes to the water quality components of the ERP program. New activities since last meeting: The latest meeting was in Orlando on May 28 with the Technical Advisory Committee. Agency staff and members of the public also attended. Discussion focused primarily on groundwater protection in sensitive karst (sinkhole) areas. The next TAC meeting is scheduled for July 9 and will focus on wet detention systems and use of wetlands for stormwater treatment. Projected date for rule adoption by the DEP Secretary remains set for summer 2009.

Low Impact Development The District is meeting monthly with Sarasota County on the development of a Low Impact Development (LID) Manual. LID is a term used to describe a collection of innovative stormwater management practices that mimic a site's pre-development hydrology, maintain groundwater recharge and protect water quality. Initially, the manual will focus on four LID practices: pervious pavement, green roofs, swales, and stormwater reuse. The manual is intended for engineers and other professionals planning and designing development projects. It will provide LID design examples consistent with District and Sarasota County regulatory requirements. Sarasota County has contracted with Jones Edmunds and Associates, Inc. to produce the manual and a preliminary draft is expected at the end of September. Interest in the manual extends beyond Sarasota County and the monthly meeting is regularly attended by representatives of Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, the cities of Venice and North Port, the Sarasota National Estuary Program, the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program, the University of Florida, the University of South Florida, and Ringling College.

Executive Director Order No. SWF 08-003 This emergency authorization was issued on March 20, 2008 to further assist the Peace River / Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority. The Order allows temporary use of the Authority's existing ASR wells to withdraw groundwater, if needed, to meet regional demand. This groundwater withdrawal can only commence after remaining ASR storage of treated river water has been exhausted. New activities since last meeting: In addition to recent declines in river flows, reduced availability of other water sources have resulted in the resumption of withdrawals from the ASR wellfields on May 9 in order to meet the water needs of the Authority's customer governments. The Authority subsequently depleted the treated river previously stored in the ASR wellfields and is now withdrawing groundwater in accordance with provisions of the emergency authorization. As of June 2, 67 mg of groundwater has been withdrawn so far.

Item 52 Water Restriction Hotline Staff continues to maintain a toll-free hotline (1-800-423-1476, extension 4498 or 1-800-848-0499) and an e-mail address (water.restrictions@ watermatters.org) that citizens and local officials can use to ask questions, report possible violations, and request information about water shortage and year-round water conservation measures. New activities since last meeting: In the four week period ending May 23, the hotline answered 973 calls and 115 e-mails. Related follow-up activity included: sending 95 first-time violation letters, referring 6 multiple-time violation enforcement cases to local governments, resolving 6 petitions for variance (requests for permission to follow a special watering schedule that abides by the basic intent of current water shortage measures), advising the Hillsborough County Water Conservation Technical Advisory Committee at its most recent meeting, and addressing restriction-related questions and concerns from the Hillsborough River Interlocal Planning Technical Advisory Committee. Year-Round Water Conservation Measures - Statewide Consistency InitiativeThis is an interagency coordination effort involving Demand Management staff. The potential benefits of such an initiative were identified during a statewide drought coordination teleconference meeting in November 2007. Specifically, since year-round water conservation measures are the foundation upon which additional demand management actions are taken during a drought, it became clear that close coordination along water management district boundaries was challenging because the districts and the local governments charged with enforcing the districts' water shortage measures were starting from differing levels of water conservation effort. Currently, compared to Florida's four other water management districts, this District currently has the most stringent set of adopted year-round water conservation measures, including a maximum of twice-per-week lawn watering. Year-round measures for the St. Johns River Water Management District (St. Johns) also include a twice-per-week lawn watering schedule; however, St. Johns currently allows people to pick their own watering days unless their local government has an ordinance to the contrary, a provision which makes the rule difficult to enforce. Year-round measures for the South Florida Water Management District (South Florida) currently include a three-times-per-week lawn watering schedule and these measures are only in effect for three of its counties. Staffs from this District and St. Johns agreed to take the lead on the consistency effort because it was a natural extension of the coordination they were already engaged in to facilitate the goal of uniform measures in Marion County, and South Florida Water Management District (South Florida) staff joined the discussion in late February. Major consistency concepts were reviewed, modified as appropriate and agreed to by the executives of all three agencies. Each agency has initiated rule development so that the agreed-upon consistency concepts can be discussed with the regulated public, adjusted as necessary based on input received, and then used as the basis for amendments to applicable regulations. For this District, the regulation involved is Chapter 40D-22 (Year-Round Water Conservation Measures). New activities since last meeting: This District and South Florida have concluded their series of public workshops. This District has also sought input from its five standing advisory committees. St. Johns is still the process of conducting its public workshops. So far, there has been divergent input on three key issues. District staff is reviewing all input received and is consulting with the other districts in the process of preparing revised draft rule amendments reflecting the agreed-upon watering days and times and also addressing the need to improve the efficiency of use for reclaimed water blends. Conserve Florida - Statewide Public Supply Water Conservation Initiative Resource Regulation staff is actively engaged in Conserve Florida (the statewide initiative to develop a water conservation program for public supply) because there are many potential regulatory implications. Active engagement involves participation in a statewide workgroup and its various committees, plus internal coordination with Conservation Projects staff and other non-regulatory departments. The main product of this initiative, to date, is a web-based computer application called The Guide which a utility can use to develop or update its water conservation plan. The Guide identifies recommended and optional elements to include in the water conservation plan based on the utility's profile (size, mix of customers, existing efforts, etc). In late 2006 and early 2007, staff participated in a pilot project involving three utilities who tested the application and the interaction that it facilitates between utility representatives and

58

Item 52 regulatory staff. This pilot project resulted in the identification of needed fixes and recommended enhancements, and these changes were prioritized and are now in the process of being implemented. In addition to work directly related to The Guide, the Conserve Florida workgroup and its committees continue to contribute oversight and ideas to the Conserve Florida Clearinghouse (a website presence and initiative-related outreach by University of Florida staff and students, including technical support for The Guide and an on-line water conservation library that is under development). In addition to recruiting utilities to use Conserve Florida resources, so that utilities and water management district staff gain more experience with The Guide in regulatory settings, staff has provided input to the University of Florida staff updating the Clearinghouse's long-term work plan. Staff has also participated in a committee that is charged with drafting research agenda for the Clearinghouse to facilitate in future budget years. This agenda is essentially a list of questions to be answered to refine the Guide or enhance other Clearinghouse services, indicating ongoing investigations by the University of Florida and other researchers, so that unmet needs can be identified, prioritized, and pursued through an appropriate mix of national collaboration and Florida-specific partnerships. The District's financial contribution to the Clearinghouse in Fiscal Year 2008 is $75,000 and the same amount has been proposed for Fiscal Year 2009. Conserve Florida's workgroup also sometimes serves in an advisory capacity to FDEP on water conservation projects, and its meetings provide an excellent forum for all participants to receive information and solicit input on their conservation-related activities. New activities since last meeting: Acommittee has been formed to consider the possibility of a simplified version or different user interface designed for small utilities (in conjunction with a Florida Rural Water Association assistance effort funding by the District). The workgroup will next meet in July 18.

Inter-District CoordinationThe Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) has an ongoing outreach effort to enhance the inter-district coordination that occurs between the permit review staff of the SWFWMD and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) on projects that have the potential to affect the water resources located within the other district. This outreach effort is in addition to the efforts occurring in the northern portion of the SWFWMD such as establishing a uniform per capita rate and emergency water conservation measures. This coordination effort has been ongoing between the two agencies and includes participation from the SWFWMD Bartow, Sarasota, and Regulation Performance Management departments and the SFWMD Lower West Coast Service Center. Regularly scheduled coordination meetings are conducted between staff of both agencies to discuss projects of mutual concern. Concerns associated with Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) are appropriately addressed as well as any surface water related concerns such as flooding. A notification process has been initiated between the two water management districts to facilitate dialogue between permit review staff from both agencies during the initial review of a permit application that is of interest to the adjoining district. This allows the district staff of both water management districts to provide each other with the necessary local water resource expertise and insight into the nuisances of how specific rules are applied by each district. Coordination is currently occurring on several water use projects and the I-75 expansion project situated within Lee and Charlotte Counties.

Best Management Practices (BMP) Research & Education Coordination Meeting (5/20-21/08)District Staff attended the Florida BMP Research and Education Coordinating Committee (BRECC) interagency meeting on May 20 and May 21. This committee is comprised of representatives of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the University of Florida Institute of Food & Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), and Florida's five Water Management Districts. The main goals of the BRECC are to: establish priorities and coordinate funding across FDACS, FDEP, and the WMDs for BMP research and extension conducted by IFAS; and, (2) coordinate the communication and publication of research results and extension activities to the public and other constituents. The goal of this last workshop was to present current knowledge, identify knowledge gaps, and discuss future research efforts related to keeping water and nutrients in the root zone of Florida's crops to improve the overall quality of Florida's waters and help achieve Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) objectives.

District’s Watershed Management Program and Federal Emergency Management Agency Map Modernization

PurposeThis is an information item to provide the Board with an update on the status of the District’s Watershed Management Program and associated Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Map Modernization, including the District’s role in the FEMA process. Staff is providing this update in advance of public meetings that are anticipated to be held in late July or August 2008 for Hernando and Pasco Counties and September 2008 for Sarasota County. The presentation will provide a status report on activities to address issues identified by the public and through the District’s coordination with the development community consultants in 2007 and discussed at the August and October 2007 and March 2008 Governing Board meetings. Staff will continue to update the Board monthly either through the routine reports or as a committee discussion item.

Background/HistoryThe District initiated a partnership with the FEMA to modernize Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) as part of our Watershed Management Program (WMP). Flood protection and floodplain information has been a priority at the District since the inception of the organization and that priority was renewed following the El Niño weather event in 1997-1998. In addition to studies conducted by the District (primarily through the Basin Boards) and others, information on floodplains (elevations) is available through the FEMA FIRMs. However, many of the existing maps do not accurately represent the flood prone areas either because the initial studies were technically limited or the maps are outdated due to significant land use changes since completion. To improve the floodplain information and improve local government's understanding of their flood protection level of service the District reached out to local governments, and initiated the WMP in the late nineties.

The District recognized a potential funding partner in FEMA as they had mutual goals to improve the existing FIRMs to better identify risks of flooding within the District. The District and the FEMA executed a Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Memorandum of Agreement on September 14, 2001 to formalize the relationship. As a CTP, the District is eligible for federal funds to act as FEMA's partner in modernization of the FIRMs. FEMA’s funds are primarily used for watershed modeling and floodplain analysis tasks and to prepare the FIRMs as not all elements of the District’s WMP are eligible for funding under FEMA’s mapping support. The District is implementing the map modernization program through the WMP and the federal funds have allowed the District and local governments to accomplish significantly more than would otherwise been possible. To date, the District has received approximately $11.2 million in federal funds from FEMA for countywide map modernization projects for Pasco, Sarasota, Hernando, Marion, Polk, Hardee, Desoto, Citrus, Sumter, Levy, and Highlands Counties. An additional $0.9 million is expected in future fiscal years for countywide map modernization projects for Manatee County. The Map Modernization program also includes federal funding for management support. For fiscal year (FY) 2004 through FY2007 the District received $713,240 and could receive an additional $500,000 through FY2012.

Item 55 District staff has been involved with several interested parties regarding the WMP and FEMA Map Modernization since January 2007 as a result of preliminary floodplain maps developed for Hernando, Pasco, and Sarasota Counties. Several issues were identified focusing on technical methodologies, quality control and public input. In October 2007, staff provided a status report to the Governing Board along with staff’s approach to address the issues. The issues were grouped into the following categories:

Rainfall Duration Quality Control/Peer Review Outreach Schedule

In March 2008, staff provided an update on the status of the District’s WMP and FEMA Map Modernization, including an update on the progress and activities associated with these issues.

The District’s consultants have been working on watershed models in Hernando, Pasco, and Sarasota Counties to update the watershed models to account for infiltration and incorporate the latest topographic and other watershed information (to the extent practicable) into the models. As of June 3, 2008 the District had received preliminary floodplain maps and information for nine of the 34 watersheds in Hernando and Pasco Counties; floodplain maps and information for the other 25 watersheds are to be received by the end of June 2008. Preliminary floodplain maps and information for the watersheds in Sarasota County are scheduled to be submitted to the District in July/August 2008. District staff will review the preliminary floodplain maps as they are received, coordinate the peer review activities, and schedule public meetings. Public meetings are anticipated to be held in late July or August 2008 for Hernando and Pasco Counties and September 2008 for Sarasota County. The floodplain maps will be presented to the Governing Board following the public meetings and prior to submitting the floodplain maps to FEMA.

Staff’s presentation will highlight the key areas associated with Rainfall Duration, Quality Control/Peer Review, Outreach, and Schedule for updating the watershed models and preliminary FIRMs.

Discussion Item

Overview of Activities and Advancements Related to Aquifer Recharge Using Reclaimed Water

PurposeThis item is presented for the Board's information only and no action is required. The information being provided is in response to a request from Governing Board following discussion of the proposed Water Partners Inc. (WPI) reclaimed water project at their May 2008 meeting. Staff will provide an overview of the District's experiences with Upper Floridan aquifer (UFA) recharge projects and update the Governing Board on advancements in technology that have been made over the past several years as it relates to aquifer recharge using reclaimed water at the local, state, and national levels.

Background/HistoryAt the May 2008 Governing Board meeting during the discussion of the proposed Water Partners Inc., (WPI) Reclaimed Water Project, it was noted that there are two opportunities for aquifer recharge. The first area that was identified is located in the inland portions of eastern Hillsborough and western Polk counties where the water quality in the UFA is generally considered to be potable. The second area is located along the coastal portions of Hillsborough County where saltwater intrusion has been a concern. Potential benefits of recharging the aquifer in the coastal area versus the inland area include reduced pipeline costs and fewer permitting restrictions. These potential benefits are because of the proximity of the coastal area to some of the major reclaimed water sources in Hillsborough County that are being considered for the project and the fact that the water quality in deep portions of the UFA is generally not considered potable.

Aquifer recharge is significant because of its water supply potential; therefore it is important to understand the issues associated with direct injection of reclaimed water in the aquifer. District staff will present an overview of recharge related activities and issues in the region, as well as throughout the state and nation. The presentation will include an overview of technological advancements that benefit reclaimed water recharge projects and discuss projects such as the proposed WPI project and the recent proposal that is being considered by the City of Clearwater.

Staff Response to the Peer Review of "Scientific Peer Review of the Proposed Minimum Flows and Levels for the Lower Peace River and Shell Creek"

PurposeTo present staff's response to the peer review report of the District's proposed Minimum Flows and Levels (MFL) for the Lower Peace River and Shell Creek.

Background/History Staff has completed a draft report concerning the adoption of minimum flows for the lower Peace River Estuary including the tidal portion of Shell Creek. This report was submitted to an independent, scientific review panel for voluntary peer review. The panel was comprised of three scientists who have extensive experience in estuarine hydrology, hydrodynamic modeling, ecology, and freshwater inflow management. The peer review panel concluded that, "Overall, the District is to be commended for preparing an excellent report that summarizes a large quantity of data and analyses, produced from many studies, into a document that is coherent and relatively easy to read. The supporting data and information used to develop the proposed MFL is technically sound. The data collection methods were appropriate, and used in an appropriate manner in all analyses."

The panel concluded that the data used for the development of the MFL was the best information available. Further, they noted that technical assumptions are inherent in data collection and analysis, and that the District made reasonable attempts to describe these assumptions. However the panel recognized that the approach "most laden with assumptions" is the hydrodynamic model, and expressed the need to conduct error analysis associated with the hydrodynamic model and the associated cumulative distribution function (CDF) curves. The panel raised five specific concerns related to validation and error analysis associated with the hydrodynamic model and the use of CDF curves. In response to this criticism, staff will perform the suggested assessments and incorporate these into the finalized MFL report that will be presented to the Board prior to proposed rule adoption.

The panel also noted that the "minimum flows for Shell Creek are determined first, and the maximum withdrawals allowed are included in determination of the minimum flows for the Lower Peace River . . . it is possible that different percentages may have been obtained within each block . . . had the Lower Peace River MFL determination been made prior to that for Shell Creek." Although no specific recommendation was made, staff proposes to reverse the procedure by conducting the model runs necessary to determine the minimum flow first for the Lower Peace River and then setting the minimum flow for Shell Creek. These results will be incorporated into the final MFL report.

Two specific recommendations/comments of the peer review panel are worth noting. The District's use of a 15% loss criterion as a measure of "significant harm" has received attention from various peer review panels and numerous stakeholders, and did not go unnoticed by this peer review panel. "A key assumption is that up to a 15% loss of estuarine habitat is a reasonable and protective management strategy . . . The review panel agrees with the stated reasons for this assumption." Another frequently raised question relates to whether the development of MFLs on tidal river reaches (e.g., Lower Peace River, Lower Alafia River, etc.) is protective of the harbors into which they feed (e.g., Charlotte Harbor, Tampa Bay). The panel

6

Item 57 stated, "We concur with the District's statement: 'The greatest changes in flow related habitat and associated biota are believed to occur in those reaches likely to see the greatest changes in salinity, which are tidal rivers . . . (A)ssessing freshwater inflows to the harbor is important, but the tidal rivers are more sensitive to potential impacts from freshwater flow reductions, and are the first places to look for significant harm.'"


This item is submitted for the Committee’s information, and no action is required.

Resource Management Committee June 24, 2008 Routine Report

Structure Operations Status Report

The month of May historically marks the last month of the annual dry season and rainfall for the month was well below normal in all regions of the District. The twelve-month District-wide rainfall deficit worsened slightly during May, ending the month approximately 6.2 inches below the long-term average. It has been below-average for 24 consecutive months. Rainfall accumulations for the month were regionally variable, mainly associated with the passage of a weak cold front in mid-May, and were not sufficient to improve hydrologic conditions in most areas. All regional hydrologic indicators throughout the District, including the Peace River basin area, declined during the month and long-term drought conditions intensified.

As of May 28, the US Drought Monitor indicates dry conditions have intensified throughout the District, with the majority of counties experiencing either "abnormally dry" or "moderate drought" conditions, with the exception of Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas and parts of Sumter and Citrus counties, which were experiencing normal moisture conditions. NOAA climate models and forecasts indicate uncertain (equal chance for normal or above/below-normal) rainfall conditions for June and above-normal rainfall for the three-month period of June/July/August 2008, due to diminishing (neutral) La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean and an active tropical weather season in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. Below-normal rainfall would continue to worsen overall hydrologic conditions and increase resource-related impacts.

Updated weather forecasts will be available in mid-June. Staff will continue to closely monitor conditions in accordance with the District's updated Water Shortage Plan, including any necessary supplemental analysis of condition data.

RainfallProvisional regional rainfall totals during the month of May fell in the below-normal range for all regions of the District. The normal range is defined as rainfall totals that fall on or between the 25th to 75th percentiles derived from the historical data for each month The northern region received an average of 0.56 inch of rainfall, equivalent to the 1st percentile.

The central region received 0.58 inch of rainfall, equivalent to the 5th percentile. The southern region recorded an average of 1.28 inches of rain, equivalent to the 11th percentile.

District-wide, average rainfall was 0.82 inch, equivalent to the 5th percentile.

A summary of the operations made in May is as follows:

Inglis Water Control Structures: The Inglis Bypass Spillway was operated during the month of May in order to maintain water levels in Lake Rousseau and provide flow to the lower Withlacoochee River. The average monthly water level for Lake Rousseau was 27.57' NGVD. The recommended maintenance level for the reservoir is 27.5’ NGVD.

Withlacoochee River Basin: All structures on the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes are closed with the exception of the Leslie Heifner Structure, which is open allowing for flow (and navigation) from the Withlacoochee River into the Floral City Pool. The Wysong-Coogler Water Conservation Structure main gate is in the fully raised position (39.0' NGVD) to aid in

16

Item 60 increasing and maintaining Lake Panasoffkee's water level. The Wysong-Coogler Water Conservation Structure low flow gate was operated in order to maintain an average flow of 40 cfs downstream of the structure.

Alafia River Basin: The environmental gate at the Medard Reservoir Structure was operated during the month of May in order to maintain water levels in the reservoir and provide for flow into the Little Alafia River. The average monthly water level for the Medard Reservoir was 58.39' NGVD. The recommended maintenance level for the reservoir is 58.5’ NGVD.

Hillsborough River Basin: There were no structure operations within the basin during the month of May. The average monthly water level for Lake Thonotosassa was 35.76' NGVD compared to the recommended maintenance level of 36.5' NGVD.

Pinellas-Anclote River Basin: There were no structure operations within the basin during the month of May. Structure S-551 (Lake Tarpon) weir gates are set at elevation 3.2' NGVD, maintaining the recommended maintenance level of 3.2' NGVD. The average monthly water level for Lake Tarpon was 2.71' NGVD.

Northwest Hillsborough River Basin: There were no structure operations within the basin during the month of May. The average monthly water level for Lake Pretty was 43.87' NGVD compared to the recommended maintenance level of 44.5' NGVD.

Peace River Basin: The G-90 structure (Lake June-in-Winter) was not operated during the month of May. The average monthly water level for Lake June-in-Winter was 73.37' NGVD compared to the recommended maintenance level of 75.0’ NGVD.

Resource Management Committee June 24, 2008 Routine Report Significant Water Supply and Resource Development Projects

This report provides information on significant Resource Management projects and programs in which the Governing Board participates in funding. The report provides a short status of significant activities associated with the project that have recently occurred or are about to happen. For greater detail, refer to the Project Notes write-ups or request information directly from the project managers. Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification Project In October 2004, the Governing Board authorized staff to proceed with the preliminary design and engineering to prepare a conceptual Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) application for the Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification project with a target operating level of up to 100 feet. In January 2006, the Board authorized staff, upon reaching agreement through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Polk County, to submit the conceptual ERP application. The Governing Board approved the MOA in July 2006, and the County approved the MOA in August 2006. The District received the Conceptual ERP from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) on June 14, 2007. In September 2007, the Governing Board authorized staff to implement the Lake Hancock Lake Level Modification Project (final design, permitting, and construction) for a lake operating level of 100.0 feet National Geodetic Vertical Data (NGVD); adopted the Resolution Authorizing Proceedings in Eminent Domain, including a Declaration of Taking; amended the 2007 Update to the Florida Forever Work Plan to include all lands identified as necessary for the Project and designated $41 million in Florida Forever Trust Funds for the Project; and designated and encumbered $79 million in General Fund Water Supply and Resource Development Reserves for the Project. District staff continues to coordinate with affected property owners or their legal counsel. Staff has closed on five parcels approved by the Governing Board. New Activities Since Last Meeting: District staff provided the Polk County Board of County Commissioners with an update on the project on June 4, 2008. District staff has developed the necessary scopes of work, Requests for Proposals, and contracts to begin design and permitting for the replacement outfall structure and mitigation requirements necessary for the project. For example, conveyance and storage improvements are necessary on the District’s Old Florida Plantation property and along Highway 540. Additionally, some minor improvements will be needed in several areas around the lake. The District received two proposals from consulting firms to replace the outfall structure; the respondents gave a presentation of qualifications to District staff on May 29, 2008, as part of the selection process; District staff is finalizing the evaluation of the proposals. Project Managers: Scott Letasi/Steve Blaschka

Lake Hancock Outfall Treatment Project At the February 2006 Governing Board meeting, the Board approved the staff recommendation to adopt a 27 percent nitrogen load reduction goal and to utilize wetlands as the primary treatment component. The District's consultant (Parsons) has completed constructability and the initial geotechnical testing at the proposed location of the treatment wetlands and a Basis of Design Report. This report establishes the objectives, data, and assumptions that form the foundation of design (configuration of wetland cells and infrastructure). The current phase includes design, permitting, and additional geotechnical evaluation. The District initiated the plant establishment study in June 2007, which is scheduled to be completed in August 2008. The objectives of the study are to evaluate wetland construction methods, different types of wetland plants, exotic plant control techniques, and water quality trends. New Activities Since Last Meeting: The District's consultant continued design and permitting tasks as well as the plant establishment study. Additional geotechnical testing and survey tasks commenced.

Pilot Testing Of Biological Treatment Systems At the February 2006 Governing Board meeting, following the vote on the Lake Hancock Outfall Treatment Project, the Board directed staff to initiate a project for pilot testing of biological water treatment systems. At the May 2006 Governing Board meeting, the Board authorized staff to proceed with the pilot testing of biological water treatment systems and to hire a consultant to assist the District in the pilot testing project. CH2M Hill, Inc. was hired as project Consultant and has completed a detailed literature review of periphyton-based biological water treatment systems, an evaluation of potential pilot test sites, project work plan, and project delivery method document. The Consultant also assisted in developing a Scope of Work for the RFP. The RFP included two alternatives that vendors bid on: 1) study an existing system and 2) construct a small pilot system. The District felt this approach provided the most cost efficient means of meeting project objectives, while also providing vendors some flexibility in the ways they can demonstrate the effectiveness of their systems. Proposals were received from two vendors (Genesis Group, LLC, and Hydromentia, Inc.) and were evaluated by the Consultant. At its February 26, 2008, meeting, the Governing Board 1) authorized staff to negotiate an agreement with Hydromentia, Inc., for an enhanced study of their full-scale Taylor Creek facility in the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for an amount not to exceed $400,000; and authorized the Executive Director to sign the agreement; 2) authorized District staff to negotiate an amendment to the agreement with CH2M Hill, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $300,000 to provide an independent evaluation of Hydromentia's Taylor Creek facility; and 3) authorized the Executive Director to execute the amendment. A Notice of Award was posted on March 17, 2008, indicating the District's intention to award the contract to Hydromentia, Inc. On March 25, 2008, District staff and the consultant visited the Taylor Creek facility to discuss project goals, strategies, and logistical concerns with Hydromentia. NewActivities Since Last Meeting: Negotiations on the development of the agreement with Hydromentia and the amendment to the agreement with CH2M Hill are in progress. Hydromentia is evaluating treatment performance related issues associated with the Taylor Creek facility and has recommended that the District not proceed with the current proposed study until these issues are addressed in order to get an accurate assessment of the technology. District staff is working with Hydromentia to determine how the project schedule might be affected. Project Manager: Gary Williams

Peace Creek Watershed In 2005, the Governing Board and Peace River Basin Board agreed to take on the responsibility to maintain and, where possible, improve the water conveyance/storage capabilities of the Peace Creek Canal. One of the primary tasks includes identification of property ownership, so the District can obtain necessary easements over the system. The work directly related to the Peace Creek Canal is part of the larger District effort, which started years earlier with watershed modeling, expanded in 2005, and will develop a watershed management plan that evaluates approximately 13,000 acres of lakes and 13,000 acres of wetland areas for potential surface water storage systems within the Peace Creek Watershed. The District continues to provide aquatic plant maintenance in the canal. A permanent spraying schedule was implemented in FY2007. The District removed sediments in strategic reaches of the canal in 2007. Polk County began acquiring 18 residential properties along the canal that have repeatedly flooded. The District is providing up to $250,000 to the County, as matching funds for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant, to assist in acquiring the properties. A draft Watershed Management Plan Alternatives Report was completed in December 2006. Staff is analyzing the technical aspects of the report and will prepare recommendations accordingly. Two temporary employees were hired for the Operations Department to help with the maintenance activities in the canal. New Activities Since Last Meeting: The Operations Department performed aquatic weed control activities within the central portion of the canal that involved mowing along the side banks, followed by chemical spraying. In some areas, the vegetation in the canal is being physically removed. Construction was completed on three of the eight identified sediment removal sites in May 2008. Construction is to commence on four

Watershed Management Program/Federal Management Agency Map Modernization The District initiated a partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to modernize Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) as part of its Watershed Management Program (WMP). Flood protection and floodplain information has been a priority at the District since the inception of the organization, and that priority was renewed following the El Niño weather event in 1997-1998. In addition to studies conducted by the District (primarily through the Basin Boards) and others, information on floodplains (elevations) is available through the FEMA FIRMs. However, many of the existing maps do not accurately represent the flood-prone areas, either because the initial studies were technically limited or the maps are outdated due to significant land use changes since completion. To improve the floodplain information, develop regional scale flood routing models for alternative analysis, and improve local government's understanding of their flood protection level of service, the District reached out to local governments and initiated the WMP in the late 90s. The District recognized a potential funding partner in FEMA since they have mutual goals to improve the existing FIRMs to better identify risks of flooding within the District. The District and FEMA executed a Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Memorandum of Agreement on September 14, 2001, to formalize the relationship. As a CTP, the District is eligible for federal funds to act as FEMA's partner in modernization of the FIRMs. The District is implementing the FEMA map modernization program as one element of the larger WMP. Federal funds have allowed the District and local governments to accomplish significantly more than would have otherwise been possible. To date, the District has received approximately $11.2 million in federal funds from FEMA for countywide map modernization projects for Pasco, Sarasota, Hernando, Marion, Polk, Hardee, Desoto, Citrus, Sumter, Levy, and Highlands counties. An additional $0.9 million is expected in future fiscal years for countywide map modernization projects for Manatee County. The Map Modernization Program also includes federal funding for management support. For FY2004 through FY2007, the District received $713,240 and could receive an additional $500,000 through FY2012. The District currently has completed or continues to work on 170 of the 419 watersheds identified within its boundaries. FEMA began Marion County FIRM updates before the District became a CTP. FEMA submitted preliminary FIRMS to Marion County in 2005 and revised preliminary maps in May 2006. FEMA has gone through the public comment and appeals period, and is currently addressing the appeals. After all appeals have been addressed, the FIRMs will be finalized for adoption by Marion County. The District's only involvement at this point is to provide FEMA with technical support of the submitted information to address appeals. Preliminary schedules for Hernando, Pasco, and Sarasota counties have been developed for the watershed models to be updated and preliminary FIRMS to be prepared by November 2008. New Activities Since Last Meeting: The District’s consultants are working on watershed models in Hernando, Pasco, and Sarasota counties to address all errors and omissions and to update the watershed models to account for infiltration and incorporate the latest topographic and other watershed information (to the extent practicable) into the models. District and local government staff met with the District’s consultants working on the Hernando, Pasco, and Sarasota watersheds in May to discuss schedules, budgets, data collection, infiltration, high water information, and coordination issues. The preliminary floodplains are being submitted by the consultants for initial review by District staff. Six watersheds were received by May 23. Additional Hernando and Pasco County watersheds will be submitted each week until all received by the end of June. Public meetings are being planned for mid-July through mid-August. The schedule for Peer Review is being developed according to the preliminary floodplain results. The 2007 LiDAR topographic information for Sarasota County was delayed; District staff is coordinating with the County and consultants to evaluate how this delay will affect the schedule for updating the watershed models. The District issued a Request for Qualifications and selected 15 qualified firms as peer review consultants for the watershed models and is negotiating contracts. Staff continues to gather high water

Myakka River Watershed Initiative In February 2006, the Governing Board allocated $500,000 to hire a consultant team to perform elements of the Watershed Management Program and for the collection of topographic information in eastern Manatee County using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) mapping technologies. On December 11, 2006, an agreement with the Singhofen & Associates consultant team was executed, and a kick-off meeting was held with District staff. The consultant team held the first outreach meeting on February 14, 2007, to discuss the project in detail and solicit stakeholder input on issues and available sources of data. Staff has since made several introductory presentations to various stakeholder groups (Myakka Conservancy, Environmental Advisory Committee, etc.). Work Order #2, covering the majority of the water budget tasks for the upper Myakka area, was executed in June 2007 and is now complete and under peer review. Using the water budget model developed in Work Order #2, the consultant compared existing and historic conditions to provide a clearer picture of the excess water in the Upper Myakka River Watershed. In addition, the model was used in conjunction with future land use maps to provide an estimated water budget for proposed future conditions. This information was provided to the Authority team for their use. Work Orders 3, 4 and 5 were executed in August 2007 for digital topographic mapping, geospatially referencing of existing survey data, developing content for a project web page, beginning survey in the upper Myakka Watershed, and completing historic land use mapping. The kick-off meeting for the peer review panel on the Upper Myakka Water Budget was held on March 20, 2008. Work Order #6, which involves updating existing watershed models, water quality loading model parameterization, and historic vegetation investigation in the Flatford Swamp, was executed on January 2, 2008. The historic land-use mapping (late 1940s to early 1950s) and the digital terrain information were approved by the District in February 2008. Work Order #9 is in development and will cover water quality, watershed evaluation tasks, and initiate the more detailed modeling effort for best management practices (BMP) alternative analysis in Flatford Swamp. Recent activities include coordination with Minimum Flows and Levels (MFL) staff to discuss further the excess flows in the Upper Myakka River and the consultant responded to the first set of comments from the Peer Review Panel, covering items such as methodology to determine evapotranspiration and documentation of irrigation. The Myakka River Watershed initiative project is up and running on the District website. Updates to the site will be provided monthly. New Activities Since Last Meeting: The initial alternative runs using the water budget model were completed. District staff and the consultant team visited Flatford Swamp on May 29, 2008, to strategize for restoration alternatives. The Project was presented at the Florida Association of Agricultural and Biological

ngineers conference on June 11, 2008. Project Manager: Lisann MorrisE Tampa Bay Water

System Configuration II Project: The Governing Board approved the agreement with Tampa Bay Water (TBW) for the System Configuration II Project at its February 2007 meeting. The project, when completed in 2011, is expected to provide up to 25 mgd of alternative water to the regional system. The estimated total project cost is $235,122,500, with the District committing to half of eligible costs of $232,000,000, or $116,000,000. The project seeks to increase TBW's overall system capacity by drawing more water from the Hillsborough River during high flows, via the Tampa Bypass Canal (TBC), in combination with increasing the allowable percentage of withdrawals from the TBC. The projects are primarily associated with the construction of improvements to the regional systems treatment, transmission, and storage infrastructure. The project agreement was executed in May 1, 2007, and TBW received approval of its Water Use Permit in June 2007. Nine of the ten basis of design reports were completed by November 2007. The remaining basis of design report is scheduled to be complete by December 2008. In January 2008, TBW submitted a Schedule of Project Costs on a cash basis as defined in the contract. TBW submitted four ERP applications to the District in January 2008, anticipating they would be issued by June 2008. Two of the four ERP applications have been issued. The South-Central Hillsborough

Infrastructure project - Phase IB construction is complete and final invoices are being prepared for the District. Both public information meetings and commencement of construction for Phase II of the South-Central Hillsborough Infrastructure project occurred in March 2008. Additionally, demolition at Well Site #7 is complete. New Activities Since Last Meeting: Construction continues on Phase II of the South-Central Hillsborough Infrastructure project. One point seven (1.7) miles of 4.7 total miles of pipe have been installed through open cut, horizontal directional drill or jack and bore methods. Recent activities include the installation of open cut piping along Oakwood Avenue, Dew Bloom Road, and Lithia Pinecrest Road; the jack and bores under SR 60, CSX Railroad, and Kings Way Drive; and the horizontal directional drill of various segments, totaling 2,950 feet of pipe. In addition to pipe installation, site preparation continues at Well Site #5. The purpose of Phase II of the South-Central Hillsborough Infrastructure project is to add disinfection facilities at wells and raw water collection pipelines at the Brandon wells, and to convert the Brandon and Brandon South-Central Connection pipelines to potable water supply. The Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP) Expansion project has reached final design and has an anticipated construction Notice to Proceed date of June 28, 2008.capacity from 66 mgd to 99 mgd. The remaining eight project components are in the design stage. Project Manager: Audrie Liszewski Tampa Bay Seawater Desalination Plant: As outlined in the agreement between the District and TBW for the seawater desalination facility, 25 percent of the $85 million being held by the District is payable upon acceptance of the facility by TBW. Of the remaining 75 percent, 25 percent will be provided to TBW when the plant is operated at a constant rate of 25 mgd for four months and the remaining 50 percent when the plant operates at an annual average of 12.5 mgd for 12 consecutive months. In addition, TBW will receive the interest accrued on the $85 million, since January 2006, when the plant operates at 20 mgd for 12 consecutive months after November 1, 2007. American Water Pridesa completed the required run-in period, an acceptance test, and submitted an acceptance test report to TBW on November 27, 2007. After certification of the test results, TBW accepted the facility on December 26, 2007. The District processed the first 25 percent payment in the amount of $21,250,000 on January 24, 2008. New Activities Since Last Meeting: TBW was able to run the plant at capacity (25 mgd) for the months of April and May and is scheduled to dispatch the plant at capacity (25 mgd) for the months of June and July. Should TBW achieve a minimum of 25 mgd capacity for these four consecutive months, TBW will be entitled to an additional $21.25 million of District co-funding. This would bring the total project co-funding to date from the District to $42.5 million, or 50 percent of the total allocated amount of $85 million.

eace River/Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority Reservoir: Final design for the Regional Reservoir Expansion has been completed and FDEP has issued the ERP for the reservoir construction. In June, the Authority received three bids for the reservoir expansion. The low bid of $64,910,500 was 21 percent higher than the engineer's estimate. The project kick-off meeting was held in late September. As with the Facility Expansion, the Authority has asked the District to provide additional funding as a result of the increased costs. Land Resources and Authority staffs have met several times to address the issues surrounding the Authority’s reservoir expansion project on the RV Griffin Reserve. The Authority defined areas and land interests required to complete expansion of its reservoir and to mitigate for wetland impacts. The Governing Board granted various easements to the Authority in November after receiving survey information and draft easements. Other issues being coordinated include public access, land management issues, relocation of recreational amenities, and reconfiguration of an existing cattle lease. The Authority Board approved the reservoir construction contract at its July 25 meeting and issued a limited notice to proceed to the contractor to begin initial work and permitting. FDEP approved construction to commence on December 8, 2007. In addition, the USACE

companion permit to the ERP was received on December 11, 2007. In preparation for the construction, District and Authority staff relocated all recreational amenities to accommodate the project. At their December meetings, the Peace River and Manasota Basin Boards, and the Governing Board approved an additional $3,703,704 in 2008 funding for the reservoir project. On-site accomplishments include the completion of wetland mitigation for the RV Griffin Reserve and the clearing of both the entire site and areas of future inlet and outlet pipes. As directed by the ERP, Gopher Tortoise relocation efforts will continue throughout the duration of the project. The 66-inch raw water steel pipe was delivered to the site and installed. During April/May 2008, inlet and outlet pipe were installed. In addition, a rim ditching system was completed to dewater the site during construction. New Activities Since Last Meeting: The reservoir construction is underway and considered 25 percent complete. The project appears to be on schedule for the March 2009 Final Completion of Construction deadline. Ongoing activities include the construction of the Bentonite Slurry wall of which 8,000 feet out of four miles is complete. The contractor is moving roughly 15,000 cubic feet per day of fill from the central areas to the perimeter of the reservoir boundary. Soil lifts or layers are currently being formed and compacted to prevent horizontal seepage and to construct the reservoir embankment. Completed activities include the 150 feet of jack and bore of 84 inch pipe casing and the installation of the 66 inch carrier pipe under King’s Highway. The emergency auxiliary spillway was completed with the purpose of safely conveying any rereached a height of 13 feet out of 35 feet, in certain areas. In addition to construction activities, ecological consultants are on site, as needed, for wildlife education, wildlife surveys, and inspections. Facility: In February, the Authority received one bid for Contract 2 for major components of the Facility Expansion. The bid was approximately $17 million over the original engineer's estimate of probable cost. Since receiving the bid, Authority staff and the contractor have negotiated a revised project cost $14 million below the original bid price. The Authority's Board approved the revised cost and authorized staff to enter into an agreement with the contractor in April. Even with the newly negotiated bid price, the overall revised project cost remains $19 million over the original project cost. Construction of the Facility Expansion Project will occur through three separate contracts. The first contract, completed in May, focused on site preparation. The second contract is for construction of a maintenance building, dewatering facility, filters, storage tanks, thickeners, and chemical feed and disinfection stations. The third contract is for construction of an operations center. Completed items from the second contract include Storm Water Pond #2, and the jack in bore of the 48 inch ductile iron pipe under Kings Highway. All the restoration required in the contractual agreement between the District and the Authority was completed and received final certification. The pouring of foundation slabs for all structures is complete except the Maintenance Building, which is not planned for completion until 2009. Concrete work for the walls of the new filter building, both chemical buildings, the Powdered Carbon Storage room, and the North Regional High Service Pump building are complete. In addition, leak testing of solids contact units is complete. New Activities Since Last Meeting: Construction continues on the facility and is considered to be 70 percent complete. The project appears to be on schedule for the March 2009 Final Completion of Construction deadline. Nine chemical tanks for the project have been installed, and the roof systems over the chemical buildings have been completed. The roof system for the new High Service Pump Building is complete and masonry block work for the facade is approximately 75 percent complete. The structural steel framework for the Dewatering Building has been erected, and two belt filter presses have arrived and been installed. The internal mechanisms for two of the four solid contact units are complete (except for drive motors), while the remaining two units are 75 percent complete. Two new pumps with a 45 mgd combined capacity have been installed at the river pump station. It is anticipated that the pupump station, two new pumps with a combined capacity of 30 mgd have been installed and are operational. Other ongoing construction activities include the installation of yard piping. Project Manager: Audrie LiszewskiRegional Integrated Loop System Project: Originally, the first phase of the Regional Integrated Loop System Project consisted of an interconnect between the Authority and Punta

37

Item 62 Gorda's water treatment plant on Shell Creek. Although the design for the first phase was completed and a guaranteed maximum price provided to the Board, a decision was made to postpone the project. Since cancellation of Phase 1, Charlotte County, Punta Gorda, and the Authority have approved an agreement for the Regional Integrated Loop System Phase 1A. Similar to Phase 1, this pipeline creates an interconnect between the Authority and Punta Gorda's Water Treatment Plant (WTP) on Shell Creek while providing Charlotte County with additional opportunities for interconnects into the regional distribution system. Total cost for Phase 1A is estimated at $19,015,000. The District anticipates providing $11,028,700 toward the project, assuming the State's Trust Funds remain available. The Authority Board approved work orders for Phases 2 and 3 of the Regional Loop System, while later issuing notices to proceed for preliminary engineering. As currently envisioned, the Phase 2 pipeline would provide an interconnect between the Authority's Peace River facility and the City of North Port's WTP; Phase 3 would be an extension of the Authority's regional transmission system currently terminating at the Carlton WTP. A workshop was held after the Authority's regularly scheduled meeting on July 25, 2007, to discuss future pipeline funding. The Authority at their May 7, 2008 meeting cancelled the Phase 2 Regional Loop System project to interconnect the Authority’s Peace River facility and the City of North Port’s water treatment plant. Instead the City of North Port has proposed a new point of connection on the Authority’s existing 42 inch transmission main that connects the Authority’s facility to the Sarasota County’s Carlton Water Treatment Plant. New Activities Since Last Meeting: It is

ly April to discuss their FY2009 Cooperative Funding application for preliminary design of the next source identified by this study. New Activities Since Last

anticipated that District and Authority staff will finalize the Cooperative Funding Agreement for Phase 1A by July 2008. District staff awaits the Authority's pipeline funding policy, also scheduled for July 2008, before moving forward with the design and construction agreement for Phase 3. Project Manager: Audrie Liszewski Regional Water Supply Source Feasibility Study: At its March 2006 meeting, the Authority's Board authorized staff to enter into an agreement with HDR Engineering to complete the Integrated Regional Water Supply Master Plan (IRWSMP) and Regional System Reliability Model (RSRM). The IRWSMP and RSRM provide for the phased development of six new water supply sources (Shell Creek, Myakkahatchee Creek, Peace River, Upper Myakka System, Cow Pen Slough/Dona Bay, and the Carlton Wellfield), integration of those sources within the Regional Loop System, and development of costs for the Authority's seven-year capital improvement program. The Regional Water Supply Source Feasibility Study will build upon the IRWSMP to focus on three of those alternative water supply sources: the Shell Creek, Cow Pen Slough/Dona Bay, and Upper Myakka River systems. The feasibility study contract was awarded to PBS&J in July 2007. A request for out-of-cycle funding to initiate the study was approved at the June 26, 2007 Governing Board meeting; the June 8, 2007 Peace River Basin Board meeting; and the July 25, 2007 Manasota Basin Board meeting. A cooperative funding agreement with the Authority for the feasibility study was executed on September 18, 2007. A kick-off meeting with the consultant was held on August 2, 2007, to begin the gathering and evaluation of existing data. The Consultant team submitted the first deliverable on October 25, 2007, which summarized and inventoried existing data, relevant technical reports, and models. A technical advisory committee (TAC) meeting was held November 16, 2007, to discuss the first deliverable and major supply opportunities for each source area. The Preliminary Alternatives Analysis was presented to the Authority Board at its December 2007 meeting. This presentation identified opportunities for water supply within the three major source areas. Additional water quality testing for parameters such as corrosiveness, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and Total Organic Carbon took place to allow for a balanced comparison between the proposed sites. Work continues on the reservoir siting in the upper Myakka and Shell Creek watersheds and updates to Sarasota County’s work on Dona Bay. A joint meeting was held mid-March with the District’s Myakka Initiative team to present the results of the Upper Myakka Water Budget model historic model run. The last remaining work order (#3) covering preliminary water treatment processes, treatment facility locations, intake structures, transmission lines, final report, and stakeholder meetings was executed on May 7, 2008. The project is still on schedule looking to be completed in August 2008 with workshops for the preferred configuration in September 2008. A meeting was held with Authority staff in ear

Aquifer Storage and Recovery – Arsenic Research The District is coordinating an effort to investigate methods for controlling the mobilization of arsenic occurring during Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) activities. This effort will help water suppliers meet the recently lowered drinking water standard for arsenic. The project consists of the design, permitting, and construction of a degasification system to remove dissolved oxygen (DO) from potable water prior to injection and storage in the aquifer. This project is being co-funded by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, South Florida Water Management District, St. Johns River Water Management District, the Peace River/Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority, and the City of Bradenton. The pilot degasification project will be performed at the City of Bradenton's ASR site, which is typical of most potable water ASR systems in the state. The degasification system will be capable of processing water at 700 gallons per minute (gpm) at 99.96 percent DO removal, but is capable of flow rates as high as 1,000 gpm with lower DO removal efficiency. A TAC has been formed to assist in the design of the testing program and provide an expert review of project results. The TAC consists of representatives from each of the co-funders, as well as Jon Arthur from the Florida Geological Survey; June Mirecki from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and Jeff Greenwell, Richard Duerling, and Joe Haberfield from the FDEP. Testing will first consist of recovery of all prior injected water and any additional water necessary to achieve near ambient water quality conditions in the storage zone. This will be followed by an injection of 40 million gallons (mg) without degasification and recovery, to test the equipment upgrades to the control systems and establish a new baseline for future tests. This water will be recovered until ambient water quality conditions return. The 40 mg injection will then be repeated with de-oxygenated water, and the results will be compared to the prior cycle. Two large volume cycles, consisting of 300 mg of injection, will then be performed. A final report documenting the effectiveness of DO removal will be prepared at the end of cycle testing, which is expected in two years. New Activities Since Last Meeting. Construction of the degasification system is close to completion. The degasification system has been delivered to the site and the final installation steps are in progress. The original final completion date for the fully functional system was April 29, 2008; however, due to a delay in delivery of key degasification components, the new date is July 15, 2008. The FDEP finalized its consent order requirements for arsenic violations and provided the ASR construction and testing permit renewal forms to the City of Bradenton on February 19, 2008. The City of Bradenton is working on the consent order and permit renewal. It is anticipated that these two requirements will be finalized and issued in August 2008. The testing of the degasification equipment is contingent on issuance of these requirements. A second parallel effort has been initiated to see if a regulatory solution to the

rsenic mobilization issue is possible. The District is working closely with the South Florida trict, and the FDEP on

aWater Management District, the St. Johns River Water Management Disthis effort. A meeting among staff from the districts and FDEP is planned for June 11, 2008, to continue discussions regarding the development of a strategy and plan to have highly beneficial very low risk ASR projects accommodated in the UIC rules. Project Manager: Don Ellison Lower Hillsborough River MFL Recovery Strategy – Implementation At its August 28, 2007, meeting, the Governing Board established the minimum flow for the Lower Hillsborough River (LHR) by adoption of amendments to Rule 40D-8, Florida Administrative Code. As required by statute, if the actual flow of a water course is below the proposed minimum flow or is projected to fall below the proposed minimum flow over the next 20 years, a "recovery strategy" is developed as part of the minimum flow development process. In the case of the LHR, a recovery strategy was needed. The proposed recovery strategy was incorporated into Rule 40D-80 and approved by the Governing Board at its August 28, 2007, meeting. The recovery strategy includes a number of projects to divert water from various sources to help meet the minimum flow. Projects that are planned under the recovery strategy include diversions of water from Sulphur Springs, Blue Sink, the Tampa Bypass Canal (TBC), and Morris Bridge Sink. At its September 2007 meeting, the Board approved the transfer of

potential yield of the system and to assess potential impacts associated with the project. The project manager is scheduled to provide an update to the Tampa Bay Water Board regarding the implementation of the recovery strategy at their June 16 meeting. Project Manager: Marty Kelly

$1,000,000 from reserves for installation of temporary pumping facilities on the TBC and at the dam on the LHR. Funds will go toward: 1) temporary pumping facilities, 2) consultant to provide more permanent pumping facilities, and 3) consultant to look at the costs and design for moving water from the Morris Bridge Sink to the TBC. Temporary pumps to transfer water from the TBC to the LHR have been in place since December 15, 2007. The District began pumping 11 cfs (7.1 mgd) to the reservoir from the TBC on December 31, 2007. Per the recovery strategy, 75 percent of the 11 cfs (8.2 cfs or 5.3 mgd) transferred to the reservoir is being pumped to the base of the dam. This amount of freshwater in combination with 10 cfs supplied from Sulphur Springs to the base of the dam by the City of Tampa means that an actual minimum flow of 18.2 cfs (11.8 mgd) or 70 to 80 percent of the proposed minimum flow is now being supplied to the LHR depending on season. New Activities Since Last Meeting: Despite drought conditions, the lower pool of the TBC has been able to consistently provide 11 cfs of flow to the reservoir without having to remove water from lower pool storage. The installation of the telemetry to operate the pumps remotely is scheduled to be complete and operational by June 1. A legal description for an easement to Tampa Electric Company (TECO) is being prepared by the District. Once final, City of Tampa staff will present the easement to the City Council for approval. Once approved, TECO will bring in commercial power for the pump at the city’s dam and the diesel generator will be demobilized. The pump stations at Structures S-162 and S-161 have been on commercial power since April. The District and City jointly approved the selection of the third member of the peer review panel for the Transmission Pipeline Project on May 16. The purpose of the peer review is to evaluate the potential water savings that would result from the construction of a pipeline versus surface transfers through the Tampa Bypass Canal and City of Tampa Reservoir. The peer review must be completed by October 1, 2008.

he Hydrologic Evaluation Section of the District began the Blue Sink pump test on May 7, and he purpose of the test is to determine the

Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan Based on the recent results from the Kissimmee River Water Supply Feasibility Study and limitation of future water sources from outside its boundaries, Polk County requested the District participate in a more detailed analysis of available ground water and alternative water supplies within Polk County. The Polk County request was approved by the Governing Board in January and the Alafia River and Peace River Basin Boards in February, during their regularly scheduled meetings. The Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan (PCCWSP) will identify viable potable water supply sources and conservation alternatives to meet the future potable and non-potable water demands of various public utility systems within Polk County. This process will include investigation of multiple water resources including conservation, reclaimed water, storm water, surface water, and ground water. The Plan will address the technical, economic, environmental, jurisdictional, and regulatory factors associated with development of these potential new sources. The water supply planning effort will first include identification, quantification, and confirmation of the types and amounts of new water supply that can be developed, and then address aligning the sources with prospective water supply partners. Most importantly, the Plan will set forth immediate projects and strategies that materially provide new water supplies for targeted public utilities. The Plan will outline a set of real, attainable, affordable, and significant water supply projects, regional in nature, to begin the transition of water supplies from traditional ground water to alternative sources. Recommendations will include project definitions, specific actions, production rates, schedules, project costs, and unit water costs (operation, maintenance, and debt service). The total estimated cost to complete the PCCWSP is $955,318, via a consulting services contract between Polk County and Reiss Environmental. The SFWMD has agreed to provide 10 percent of the total project cost, reducing the District's share to 40 percent, or $382,127. The funding agreement between the District, Polk County, and SFWMD was approved by the Polk County Board of County Commissioners on April 23 and has been signed by all parties. On April 25, District staff attended a meeting with Tampa Bay Water and Polk County to discuss potential opportunities

for water supply to Polk County from Tampa Bay Water. Additionally, the County is involved in several other initiatives to investigate water supply options. One option the County is evaluating is the potential for additional ground water in southeast Polk County. The County and SFWMD are coordinating to investigate this potential source as any withdrawals would be located within the SFWMD. The County is also coordinating with the STOPR group, which includes St. Cloud, Tohopekaliga Water Authority, Orange County, Osceola County, Polk County, and the Reedy Creek Improvement District. STOPR and SFWMD are currently investigating the potential for water supply from the Kissimmee River, which should be completed by the end of 2008. NewActivities Since Last Meeting: Discussions congroup regarding the availability of water from the Upper KiSin southeast Polk County afor bids from drillers to construct the exploratory wells. Bids are due on June 18. Reiss

nvironmental and SWFWMD staff met again in June to discuss the potential for developing an lternative supply source from the Peace River. It is anticipated that an assessment of available ater from these systems will be made in July. roject Manager: Audrie Liszewski

and Resources Events July 2007 – Land Resources and Communication staff held an event in support of one of the Districts strategic initiatives to increase diversity and youth education on conservation land. The Boys and Girls Club brought approximately 70 children to the Weekiwachee Preserve in Hernando County. Some of the older boys fished, while the remainder of the group was split in

Staff created an “I Spy” activity where the children had to find and identify plants, animals, and different species commonly found in a pine flatwoods ecosystem. Staff planted objects such as deer and raccoon skulls and tortoise shells along the trail to prompt discussion about the variety of wildlife that lives in the Preserve. Communications staff led the second group in a discussion about the importance of protecting the watershed and in a hands-on Project WET activity.October 2007 – Land Resources staff set up a display table at the 13th Annual National Wildlife Refuge celebration held at the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Crystal River. It is estimated that over 300 people were in attendance. Land Resources staff also held a volunteer work day at Lake Panasoffkee. Six volunteers attended and accomplished tasks that included mowing, trimming, reposting of approximately five miles of trails, and removal of three fallen trees. Afterwards, lunch was served, and the volunteers hitched up the horses and enjoyed the cleared trails. November 2007 – Land Resources stathe Starkey Wilderness Preserve in Pasco County. For approximately eight hours, five volunteers worked on lifting the tree canopy in the day-use parking area, trimming trails, and cleaning up two campgroundmeeting to give a brief presentation and answer questions regarding recreation on District property. Another volunteer work day was held at the District’s Jack Creek property in Highlands County. Staff and four volunteers with the Ridge Rangers spent the day removing trash and debris that filled a dumpster. December 2007 – Land Resources staff and volunteers participated in the Audubon Society’s annual Christmas Bird Count at Weekiwachee Preserve. Over 60 speciincluding several rare birds. December 2007 and January 2008 – The District hosted “Outdoors without Limits,” hunts for persons with disabilities, at the District's Upper Hillsborough and Hampton tracts. A total of 24 hunters participated in modern gun hunts for deer and hogs on each property. District staff and volunteers assisted with all aspects of the hunts, including preparing and serving lunch, and assisting participants in getting to and from their hunting locations. Several deer and hogs were taken, and the hunts were a tremendous success for all involved. January 2008 – The Sumter County Humane Society held a fundraising event “Helping Hooves Benefit Ride/Drive” at Lake Panasoffkee, which brought horse lovers together to lend their support to equine rescue efforts, as the need is continuously increasing.

113 people attended the event and raised more than $1,700. The revenue generated will be applied toward the group’s Animal Care Fund, which provides much neesuch as spaying/neutering, vaccinations, emergency care, animal food, and cruelty investigations. The event was a great success considering this was their first event and the weather was rainy and cold. Also, over 30 volunteers from across the state participated in a sparrow drive at Weekiwachee Preserve. A total of 20 birds, representing seven species, were banded. Three of these species that inhabit the Preserve are area-sensitive grassland birds that are declining throughout the eastern United States: the grasshopper sparrow, Henslow's sparrow, and savannah sparrow. Another drive is scheduled in February. February 2008 – Land Resources staff held a volunteer day at the Serenova tract within the Starkey Wilderness Preserve in Pasco County to help clear an area for a new restroom facility. Within about six hours the ten volunteers not only cleared the site, but helped trim the road in and out of the area. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) performed a clean-up at the District’s Harney Canal in Tampa. Approximately 70 volunteers, including many students, removed trash from both the land and water. The FloridTransportation picked up the trash after the event, and the Temple Terrace Police and Marine Patrol provided the volunteers with safety tips and removed the trash collected from the water. Hillsborough County Public Works is donating paint to cover graffiti on the bridge. The Land Resources staff attended an "Ice Cream Social" at the Withlapopka Civic Association building near the Withlapopka Park at Flying Eagle in Citrus County. This event was sponsored by park volunteers to bring awareness to the park, raise money for park amenities, and solicit new park volunteers. More than 90 people attended the Ice Cream Social. March 2008 – Land Resources staff held a work day to hand-treat exotic plants at our Panasoffkee Outlet property in Sumter County. The tract supports good quality upland hardwood forest, some of which has intact limestone outcrops. The plant we targeted was an exotic vine called green wandering Jew, which is ranked a Category 1 plant by the Exotic Pest Plant Council (EPPC). The plant is difficult to treat due to unacceptable impacts of herbicion native plants; therefore, hand removal is one of the only treatment options. Seven volunteers worked an area approximately 10 acres in size and removed about 30 pounds of the exotic plant. Three rare ferns will benefit: hemlock spleenwort, abscised spleenwort, and Peter's filmy fern – all of which rely on limestone outcrops in good quality hammock. “Outdoors without Limits” hosted a disabled turkey hunt at Hampton Tract within the Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve. A total of 16 hunters and 20 volunteers participated. The South Creek Fox Hunters Club provided a nice barbeque lunch. Four turkeys were taken that weekend. April 2008 – This year's Volunteer Appreciation Day was held at Natures Classroom in Hillsborough County. The occasion was attended by nearly 150 volunteers, staff and board members. Attendees were able to enjoy a great barbeque luncheon, enjoy great music by the “Beagles,” see lots of native wildlife in their habitats and take a scenic boat ride on the Hillsborough River. There were 18 awards given out to worthy groups and individuals. Since its inception, the volunteer program has seen nearly 84,000 hours donated in services for the district. Mike Blanton was the keynote speaker and spoke to everyone about the “Outdoors without Limits” program, which provides hunting and fishing opporStudents from several government agencies and private entities attended the Natural Areas Training Academy Restoration Planning and Techniques for Forested Lands workshop conducted at Nature's Classroom. As part of the workshop, students visited restoration sites at Lower Hillsborough’s Flatwoods Park and the Green Swamp West. District staff participated as classroom and field instructors. On the last day, students utilized material learned in the course to explore different techniques for restoring the area adjacent to the river floodplain which was retired during recent renovations to Nature's Classroom. New Activities Since Last Meeting: Brooks Armstrong with the Florida Native Plant Society conducted a tour on the Edward W. Chance Reserve - Coker Prairie Tract with approximately 25 people. The group was attending an annual conference for the Society and signed up for the tour to identify various plants and birds on the property. Mr. Armstrong was given Recreational Guides, maps, schedules for past and future controlled burns, and Volunteer Brochures and applications. It was a successful morning with many new advoca

The two-day ride covers 30- and 60-mile rides; 52 riders participated. As part of the ongoing Recreation Amenities Plan implementation, new entrance signs have been installed at Prairie Shell Creek, Frog Creek (Terra Ceia), Little Manatee River (Southfork), Weekiwachee, and Lake Manatee Reserve (Coker and Gilley Creek).

Fire Activity As steward of over 300,000 acres of public conservation lands, the District is heavily involved in fire management, both prescribed fire and wildfire. The primary focus of the District’s fire management personnel and material resources is prescribed burning, resulting in an annual average of 25,000 acres burned. However, these resources are also responsible for the efficient response to wildfires that occur on District lands. The District is a wildland fire cooperator with the Florida Division of Forestry (FDOF), the agency statutorily empowered to manage fire in the state. As such, the District’s fire management personnel and material resources provide support to the FDOF in the suppression of all wildfires that occur on District lands, and on larger fire incidents that occur on non-District lands within its 16-county jurisdiction. This relationship has been in place for many years and is highly successful. Fall through spring of 2006/2007 was among the driest on record, resulting in a very active wildfire season in Florida and on District lands. In FY2007, 48 wildfires, totaling 2,141 acres, burned on District lands. Wildfire activity was quiet during Fall/Winter 2007/2008. Periodic frontal rains throughout the winter helped to moderate ground and fuel drying and suppressed wildfire potential through March 2008. Spring dry weather patterns commenced in early to mid-April and dry, windy conditions prevailed, causing rapid decreases in vegetative fuel moisture and a gradual increase in wildfire activity state-wide. New Activities Since Last Meeting: Rainfall totals for May were below normal and, as such, prescribed burning was halted on May 13 until conditions improve. As of this report, a total of approximately 11,835 acres of prescribed burning has been completed in FY 2008. Breezy, dry conditions in late April and May have increased the potential for wildfires, and five fires totaling 1,238 acres have occurred on District lands. One new fire occurred on the District's Myakka River, Schewe tract. The 234 acre "Mile Marker 188 Fire" started in the median of I-75 and burned north onto District land. FDOF, District and Sarasota County crews conducted suppression and mop-up; the fire was declared out on May 21. On May 11, Governor Crist signed Executive Order 08-83, declaring a Wildfire

Outreach and Planning Committee June 24, 2008 Submit and File Report Fiscal Year 2008 Media Messaging Overview

PurposeTo raise public awareness about the current drought conditions and to encourage water conservation in the District.

Background/History Media messaging, or advertising, is one initiative the District uses to promote water resources awareness and conservation practices. The total media messaging budget in FY2008 is $900,000. The District spent $150,000 during an October–November radio and newspaper campaign that promoted skipping a week of watering during the cooler winter months to conserve water.

Prior to FY2006, the District focused on general water conservation. In recent years, recognizing that the typical single-family home uses up to 50 percent of its water on outdoor irrigation, District staff embarked on a five-year effort to increase awareness of Florida-friendly landscaping and educate the public about specific landscaping behaviors that benefit the water resources. These campaigns have featured the nine Florida-friendly landscaping principles and their benefits, as well as the consequences of overwatering.

This year's historic drought prompted the need to communicate the importance of water conservation and watering restrictions. While still following the five-year plan, staff reran previously aired Florida-friendly landscaping messaging to promote outdoor conservation. The tag line "Reduce Your Use" was added to encourage the audience to follow the watering restrictions.

The FY2008 "Reduce Your Use" campaign ran from late February through April to capture its target audience. This winter–spring campaign included television, radio, newspaper, magazine and billboard advertising. Three television ads were aired. The first promoted protecting the environment as a basis for practicing water conservation behaviors. The second ad featured a county Extension agent urging residents to check that their irrigation systems are working properly and not wasting water. The third ad was originally aired in 2006 and featured the benefits of practicing Florida-friendly landscaping. The radio ads included the efficient irrigation message, two Florida-friendly landscaping messages from the 2006 campaign, and an ad addressing the drought that featured the District's executive director asking the public to conserve during this extremely dry season. The tagline "Reduce Your Use" was used in print ads and billboards. All advertising directed residents to the District's web site for additional water conservation tips.

Radio advertising kicked off the campaign with more than 7,585 spots running from mid-February through April on a diverse array of stations to capture all demographics. The District's television ads aired during March and April. More than 4,683 spots aired on broadcast and cable channels. Areas outside the eight-county Tampa-St. Petersburg-Sarasota television market were reached by advertising on cable channels.

Also during March and April, four newspaper ads were published in each of the major circulation newspapers in the District. In addition, ads were placed in two publications that serve the Hispanic audience, two publications that specialize in reaching the African-American community and one trilingual newspaper (English, Spanish and Italian).

The campaign once again used billboards to help raise water conservation awareness, but with an additional element. Seven of the fifteen billboards were the newer digital boards that allow for last-minute updates and time-sensitive messages. The digital boards displayed District messages over a six-week period, March through mid-April. The standard billboards were up for a minimum of four weeks in March.

The District also took advantage of another new cost-effective advertising opportunity that reached all subscribers of Time, Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report magazines in a six-county area. A full-page, color ad in each of the publications reached nearly 98,000 subscribers.

The success of the campaign is measured through reach, which is the number of people exposed to the messages, and frequency, which accounts for the number of times each person is exposed to the message. The goal of the District's media campaign is a reach of 80 and a frequency of 12. This year's spring campaign successfully passed the goal with a reach of 98and a frequency of 22.

All advertising was created by District staff, which substantially reduced development and production costs to less than $20,000. After the campaign in February–April was completed, approximately $110,000 remained in the budget for an emergency drought media buy, which was placed in the southern portion of the District in the month of May. The results of the May media buy will be reported on in July.

CostsThe winter–spring advertising campaign cost $605,905, with the following breakdown: television, $261,594; radio, $211,712; newspaper, $68,225; magazine, $21,502; billboards, $42,872.

Outreach and Planning Committee June 24, 2008 Routine Report Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Related Reviews Report Purpose This report is provided for the Committee’s information and shows District activity in the review of Local Government Comprehensive Plans and Amendments. Staff updates the report monthly, showing new or changed information in bold. Background/History The District provides technical and policy information on water resources and water resource management to local governments as they prepare amendments to their local government comprehensive plans. This information encompasses all aspects of water resource management, including water supply, flood protection, water quality and natural systems, and is intended to support sound land use decisions. A number of statutory provisions direct the District in the provision of this assistance, particularly Section 373.0391, Florida Statutes (F.S.), Technical Assistance to Local Governments. As a part of the District's efforts to ensure that appropriate water resource information and policy direction is reflected in local government comprehensive plans, the District conducts reviews of local government proposed plan amendments. The state land planning agency, the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), administers this review process. Comments submitted by the District typically become a part of DCA's "objections, recommendations, and comments" report to the local government. In addition, the District will often perform informal reviews of draft plan updates working directly with local governments. Benefits/Costs The benefits of the District's local government technical assistance program are to ensure local government elected officials have sound water resource technical and policy information as they amend their local government comprehensive plans. This helps to ensure local plans are compatible with the District's plans, programs and statutory direction. Costs for this program primarily include staff time and are budgeted in Fund 10 (Governing Board). Staff Recommendation: See Exhibit This item is presented for the Committee's information, and no action is required. Presenter: Roy A. Mazur, Director, Planning Department

Development of Regional Impact Activity Report

PurposeThis report is provided for the Committee's information and shows District activity in the review of Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs). Staff updates the report monthly, showing new or changed information in bold.

Background/HistoryThe District participates in the review of Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs) pursuant to Section 380.06, Florida Statutes. DRI's are large-scale development projects that exceed statutorily specified thresholds such that the project is assumed to have potential impacts that transcend multiple local government jurisdictions. The District is one of several agencies that are required to participate in the review process, which is administered by the regional planning councils. The District has also entered into memoranda of agreement with the Central Florida, Southwest Florida, Tampa Bay and Withlacoochee regional planning councils to more specifically outline the District's DRI review responsibilities. The District provides water resource management technical and policy information to the regional planning councils and local governments to assist them in making well-informed growth management decisions.

Benefits/CostsThe benefits of the District's DRI review program are to ensure regional planning councils and local government elected officials have sound water resource technical and policy information as they consider large scale development proposals. This helps to ensure these developments are compatible with the District's plans, programs and statutory directives. Costs for this program primarily include staff time and are budgeted in Fund 10 (Governing Board).

Outreach and Planning Committee June 24, 2008

Routine Report Speakers' Bureau PurposeThis report is provided for the Committee's information and shows District staff participation in the outreach performed by the Speakers' Bureau program. Background The District has had a Speaker’s Bureau Program since the early 1970s. For the past 20 years, the Program has been administered by the Community and Legislative Affairs Department (CLA) or the Communications Department. Currently, the program is managed by Susan Kessel of the CLA Department. The Speakers Bureau coordinates staff experts and generalists to speak or make presentations to interested community or business groups, or to address professional, governmental or technical groups on a variety of issues. The types of groups and organizations requesting a speaker is varied: civic organizations (Rotary, Kiwanis, Sertoma, etc.), chambers of commerce, colleges and high schools, and associations (homeowners, engineering, realtors, developers, etc.). Every request in the past two years has been honored. Over the past several years, staff has developed a library of PowerPoint presentations to go along with our popular Water 101 video. State-of-the-art audio-visual equipment is available in all of the service offices to accommodate presentations in those areas.

The following table summarizes the Speakers' Bureau activities for the past three months.

Outreach and Planning Committee June 24, 2008 Routine Report

Significant Activities Report Conservation and Drought CommunicationsDuring December and January, the District employed a grass-roots communications effort using existing tools such as the Speakers Bureau, news media outreach and public affairs programming, as well as outreach to homeowners associations (HOAs), landscape irrigation professionals, churches and others. The District also developed a web page at WaterMatters.org/drought to serve as a “one-stop-shopping” resource for the public to obtain information on the drought, water restrictions and conservation. Communications staff continued distributing a PowerPoint presentation, copy points and collateral materials to District staff to reach many of the key target audiences identified in the FY2008 Drought Communications Plan. Print ads and articles promoting "Skip a Week" were offered to 1,000 HOAs, 100 neighborhood associations and 30 organizations such as chambers of commerce, environmental organizations, community groups and religious denominations for use in their newsletters. In response to direction by the Governing Board, staff developed roadside signs that read: It’s a drought. Conserve! Learn how at WaterMatters.org. The District is offering the signs to local governments and utilities to be placed in their communities. The District’s drought web page has links to all the organizations who partner with the District on the road signs. Based on a District employee's suggestion, the staff also ordered 500 conservation car magnets that have been placed on more than 220 District vehicles. The District's traditional spring media "Reduce Your Use" campaign kicked off in mid-February. Television, radio, billboard and print ads featuring the District's drought and water conservation messages ran Districtwide through April 30. Free print ads and articles promoting "Reduce Your Use" were offered to more than 1,000 HOAs for use in their newsletters. New Activities Since Last Meeting — The FY2008 Media Messaging Campaign has been completed. The cost for the spring media buy in March and April was $612,425. The evaluation of the buy is included as a Submit and File Report in this month's Outreach and Planning Committee meeting materials. The emergency media buy in May has been completed and the results will be reported to the July Governing Board meeting. District staff conducted 121 speaking engagements from December through May, and 4 engagements have been scheduled for June through September. Staff has also participated in more than 10 community events. A total of 1,776 conservation signs have been received by 90 governments, utilities and organizations.

Water Conservation Hotel And Motel Program (Water CHAMP) and Water Program for Restaurant Outreach (Water PRO)Water CHAMP promotes water conservation in hotels and motels through a towel and linen reuse program that encourages guests to use their towels and linens more than once during their stay. Participating hotels and motels receive materials that explain Water CHAMP to staff members and guests. Materials include towel reuse cards, linen reuse cards, environmental table brochures, guest comment cards, staff training materials and an environmental self-audit checklist — all free of charge. Educational workshops on additional ways to save water are also provided to the participating hotels and motels. Surveys of guests staying in Water CHAMP properties indicate that guests like the program and believe conserving water makes a difference to the environment. From 2002–2003, Pinellas County Utilities and the City of Tampa Water Department conducted comparison studies of the water use of 71 hotels in their area before and after implementing Water CHAMP. The studies showed that in total the 71 participants saved a cumulative 100 million gallons of water in only one year after implementing Water CHAMP. The Water CHAMP coordinator will also coordinate the Water Program for Restaurant Outreach (Water PRO), which will extend water conservation achieved through the Water CHAMP program by promoting water conservation in restaurants. Staff will be educating both restaurateurs and guests with materials such as table tents, children's coloring sheets,

16

Item 67 coasters and self-audit checklists. "We only serve water on request" buttons are also available for wait staff. New Activities Since Last Meeting — Water CHAMP: There are currently 390 hotels participating in the program Districtwide. This brings the participation rate to 41 percent and accounts for more than 61 percent of the available hotel rooms in the District. Staff is conducting a Districtwide audit of Water CHAMP properties to monitor water and monetary savings. Staff is also working with a variety of partners to include the Water CHAMP logo next to participating properties in several visitor guides. Bill inserts promoting Water CHAMP properties and directing residents to the CHAMP web site are being designed in partnership with the following utilities: Pinellas County, City of Winter Haven, Polk County, City of Tampa and City of Lakeland. Staff sent more than 700 brochures to hotels and motels not currently involved in Water CHAMP. The Water CHAMP coordinator received a positive response from the mailing and is receiving calls daily requesting information and materials. Water CHAMP's partnership with Progress Energy resulted in the completion of an energy and water conservation poster. This poster will be placed at all Water CHAMP properties with public laundry facilities in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties. Water PRO: The District has kicked off its new Program for Restaurant Outreach (Water PRO). Water PRO will focus initially on restaurants located within CHAMP properties. Water PRO received publicity on Tampa Bay's 10 News CBS affiliate and in several newspapers. As a result of the Channel 10 news piece, a restaurant chain has expressed an interest in implementing Water PRO in its 500 restaurants statewide. Also, staff visits to restaurants and networking at industry meetings have resulted in a positive response from restaurant owners and management.

Florida Water Star SM

The Florida Water StarSM (FWS) program certifies new homes based on water conservation criteria developed by the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) to encourage water efficiency in household appliances, plumbing fixtures, irrigation systems and landscapes. The certification program encourages builders/developers to save water indoors and outdoors and has some consistency with national green building programs such as LEED by the U.S. Green Building Council and Energy Star® from EPA. The resulting certification criteria were also integrated into the wider “green building umbrella” being developed at the time for the Florida Green Building Coalition. The program's objectives are to increase the knowledge level of the building industry about water-efficient building practices and to provide educational resources and incentives to make these practices common to the marketplace. FWS is currently being implemented successfully in the SJRWMD based on criteria it developed. Because builder/developer education has been ongoing within the SWFWMD for several years, a more advanced version of the outdoor water use criteria was developed to be more closely aligned to the University of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences' Florida Yards & Neighborhoods program's Florida-friendly landscaping principles and landscape best management practices. SWFWMD Resource Projects Department staff also participated in developing the indoor water use criteria. The resulting advanced version adds criteria that will result in even more water savings and fewer impacts to water quality. New Activities Since Last Meeting — Florida Water Star Gold will be the designation of the higher level of criteria that will be implemented in the SWFWMD. A beta test of the criteria was conducted in May on a home built by John Cannon Homes in Sarasota. The purpose of the beta test was to determine how well the checklist and points system worked in the field. A second test will be conducted at the On Top of the World community in Ocala. Staff submitted the "gold" criteria to the Florida Green Building Coalition to be considered for use in their certification program's water-use section. Community-Based Social Marketing Community-based social marketing (CBSM) programs use research to uncover what drives residents to either participate in or avoid specific behaviors. With the knowledge of what motivates people to behave the way that they do, the District can create programs that are tailored to the populations they are meant to target and will most likely result in desired behavior changes. The Communications Department has been using the theories of this social science to enhance program design. New Activities Since Last Meeting — Project manager is organizing a Community-Based Social Marketing Networking & Resource Committee of individuals throughout the 16 counties of the District who are actively working on — or would like to work on

17

Item 67 — social marketing, CBSM, research and/or evaluation projects. The committee will serve as a think tank for sharing ideas, networking and advising one another on lessons learned as social marketers. The first meeting of this group will take place at the District's Tampa Service Office on July 18. Staff is developing a CBSM page to be added to the District's web site. The CBSM site will serve as a resource for staff and cooperators who are using CBSM tools in their programs. It will include the steps of CBSM projects, examples of pilot programs, example research and evaluation tools, and a database of the qualitative and quantitative research data that has been collected by the District's social researcher. The District's project manager met with the webmaster and other staff on March 14 and again on May 16 to review and create plans for the site. Project manager is also working with social marketing consultants to develop a research training program to be offered to staff and cooperators in November 2008. Irrigation Pilot Program A community-based social marketing pilot program is under way in neighborhoods in Sumter, Polk and Charlotte counties. Residents will be asked to “take control of their irrigation systems” during the months of July, August and September, when rainfall can allow residents to turn off their systems for extended periods of time, and to “water only every other week” during the months of December, January and February. The specific education interventions will be determined by results of qualitative (focus groups) and quantitative (survey) research conducted to determine the best way to educate the residents to achieve the desired behaviors. NewActivities Since Last Meeting — The audio recordings from the focus groups and other related research were used to guide the creation of a telephone survey questionnaire. The survey was pilot-tested with small sample audiences to ensure its understandability and clarity of responses before data collection began. Two sample sets of survey data were collected. Research data from pilot neighborhoods was completed on April 21, and responses from the Districtwide sample were completed on May 28. The District's consultants are currently analyzing the data to prepare reports of findings for District staff to use in program development. District staff organized a social marketing training on April 16 for internal staff and project cooperators on how to use behavioral research to create strategic marketing programs that are more likely to facilitate behavioral changes. On April 23, the same group came together and reviewed the data from the pilot neighborhoods to begin brainstorming a strategic social marketing plan. The Center for Social Marketing at USF and the Florida Prevention Research Center led the training. In addition, staff is continuing to gather water-use reports from participating utilities to create historical water data reports that will be used to measure changes in water use throughout the course of the project. Water-use data will be reported and logged monthly throughout the entirety of the pilot project.

Barrier & Benefit SurveyIn 2007, white papers on nine specific behaviors related to watershed protection and water conservation were commissioned as the first step in creating multiple community-based social marketing pilot programs on priority issues. The white papers summarized the literature review and the perceived barriers and benefits that exist for each behavior. The next step is to collect quantitative information directly from District residents. New Activities Since Last Meeting —As a result of a request-for-proposal process, Marketing For Change (M4C) was selected as the vendor to provide the quantitative data. A scope of work for the vendor was awarded, and the first meeting with the consultant was held on March 28 at the Tampa Service Office. As a result of collaboration between M4C and District staff, on May 28 the first draft of one of three surveys was provided to the District's project manager for approval. Once approved, data collection will begin.

District Lands Communications Plan Communications staff is working with the Land Resources Department to create a comprehensive communications plan to promote the value of ecosystem protection through recreation on conservation lands using community-based social marketing tools. As the first step in identifying District residents' knowledge level and opinions about District lands, the Communications project manager worked closely with the Land Resources Department and a research consultant to create and execute a land-use public opinion survey. The findings of this effort, which were reported at the July 2007 joint meeting of the Basin Board Education and

Item 67 Land Resources committees, will be used to create strategic recreation plans, tailored pilot projects and defined levels of service for recreational amenities. Major research findings include: 63% of respondents said they do not get outdoors enough 43% said they were aware of District lands 33% have used District lands 93.7% have a favorable opinion of the District once they visited District lands More than 50% said they get their information about outdoor activities from word of mouth 24% cited time commitment as their biggest barrier to getting outdoors Respondents reported that the activities they would like to participate in outdoors include walking/hiking (25%), boating (20%) and fishing (17%)

People who are currently actively participating in activities on District lands reported that they most enjoy hiking/walking (56%) and camping (29%)

Staff from the Communications and Land Resources departments have met several times to develop and refine a communications plan of general goals, strategies and tactics. Three sites have been chosen to receive tailored social marketing plans based on the research findings — Edward W. Chance Reserve Gilley Creek Tract, Green Swamp East Tract and Starkey Wilderness Preserve Serenova Tract. New Activities Since Last Meeting — On April 14, Communications staff joined members from the Land staff on a tour of two of the pilot sites — Green Swamp East Tract and Starkey Wilderness Preserve Serenova Tract. Three other sites — Flatwoods Park at Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Park, Myakka River Deer Prairie Creek, Starkey Wilderness Preserve — will receive cooperative signage to identify District partnership. Staff is continuing to work on general tactics for the Land Resources Department, including messaging campaigns, signage, web site alterations, recreation programs and setting up stories for Central Florida News 13 and Bay News 9's "Florida on a Tankful" segment. The first interview with this travel reporter was held at the Green Swamp East Tract on April 16. The segment aired nearly 30 times on the two stations during April 17–20. Longer versions of the segment are available on both stations' On Demand channels and features are posted on the "Florida on a Tankful" section of both stations' web sites. The next meeting between Land staff and Communications staff will take place in July. Florida Yards & Neighborhoods (FYN)Recognizing the potential of water conservation and water quality protection through promotion of Florida-friendly landscaping practices, the District began partnering with the University of Florida in FY2001 to support Florida-friendly landscaping education. Currently, approximately 228,000 people are reached annually through homeowner programs in eight counties, builder and developer programs in five counties and community/homeowners association programs that reach four counties. With up to 50 percent of a typical household’s water use going to outdoor irrigation, outreach to builders, developers and irrigation specialists became available Districtwide in FY2007. New Activities Since Last Meeting — (1) Member governments, including FYN programs at Extension offices, can now use Tampa Bay Water's web-based GIS water consumption tool to track water-use reduction after education intervention. The program allows graphing of monthly or annual water consumption for the entire water-use history. (2) Pasco County's FYN coordinator made contact with Ecobrokers, a national real estate certification group with members in Florida. Among other activities, the organization educates real estate salespersons about the energy and resource conservation components of "green" homes to help the agents represent the houses better. The coordinator will begin attending the group's meetings to present information on the benefits of Florida-friendly landscaping. (3) District staff has been working with the staff at Highlands and Levy counties to begin outreach on Florida-friendly landscaping in those areas. (4) In addition, new or expanded outreach will be funded in Charlotte County to address ways landscaping best management practices (BMPs) can impact water use. (5) District staff recently met with representatives from DEP, UF and SJRWMD to plan Florida-friendly landscaping education materials. The districts will publish a landscape planning guide that will feature information on the BMPs involved in planning a Florida-friendly landscape and an overview of the nine principles. DEP and UF agreed to revise the current FYN handbook to provide a comprehensive learning manual for the public. (6) A District/FYN Sharing Day is planned for June 17. A training will be conducted on how to work

Item 67 with community association board members and condominium managers. Retrofitting conventional irrigation systems to micro-irrigation will be covered in a second presentation. Watershed Education The District's watershed education efforts encourage residents to protect their local water resources through education relating to water quality, stormwater runoff, water conservation and natural systems. Some examples of the District's watershed education efforts include decision-maker workshops, upriver and downriver educational bus tours, estuary wading trips, speaking engagements, pond adoptions, outreach at special events, educational kiosks and stormdrain marking activities. New Activities Since Last Meeting — (1) The Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center (CHEC) planned and implemented two Florida-Friendly Yards HomeScape Tours on Saturday, May 10, 2008, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Twenty-seven participants learned about Florida-friendly landscaping techniques and the protection of water resources. (2) The opening day of the Manatee County Extension 2008 Water School took place on May 29, from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., and included an all-day workshop with presentations focused on the protection of water resources. During the opening ceremony, Executive Director David Moore spoke about the state of the District. Governing Board member Pat Glass participated in a panel discussion to address questions regarding policymakers' perspectives. On Friday, May 30, participants went on a Manatee County Watersheds and Treatment Plant Bus Tour. Community Education Grant Program The Community Education Grant (CEG) Program is in its eleventh year, funded through Basin Initiatives for Public Education (P268). The CEG Program provides funding assistance up to $5,000 per project for individuals, service groups, community associations and other organizations to implement a water resources education project. This year the Communications Department received 75 applications requesting a combined total of $302,422 Districtwide. Staff recommended 38 projects totaling $136,598. The grant implementation period is from March 15 through June 30, 2008. New Activities Since Last Meeting — Several Community Education Grant-funded projects took place recently. (1) The DeSoto County Parks and Recreation Department held two "Picking Up the Pieces on the Peace River" cleanup events on May 3 and 10. Sixty-five volunteers collected nearly 1,500 pounds of trash. As part of the events, a presentation was given about how trash and pollution affects our water resources. (2) The Highlands Soil and Water Conservation District is continuing its series of low-flow showerhead demonstrations to area residents. Attendees are encouraged to trade in their old showerheads to receive free new low-flow showerheads. Follow-up surveys will be conducted to determine water savings. The most recent workshop occurred May 8 at the Agri-Civic Center in Sebring. To date, 1,100 low-flow showerheads have been distributed. (3) On May 22, the Landings South 2 Condo Association's workshop on pond ecology reached 20 community residents. This workshop featured information on ways to improve the water quality of local ponds and gave volunteers an opportunity to participate in a pond planting. (4) The City of Safety Harbor in Pinellas County hosted the "Discover Florida" event May 14 at Marshall Street Park. Approximately 500 participants learned about their watershed through presentations, maps and guided hikes through the park. Youth EducationThe District provides water resources education programs to county school districts, private schools, homeschool groups and nonformal educators through teacher training workshops, mini-grants, field trip programs and educational resources for students and educators. NewActivities Since Last Meeting — Outreach: Staff participated in the Kid's Nature Festival at the Tenoroc Fish Management Area in Lakeland on May 10. The estimated 400 visitors had the opportunity to learn about water resources through the District's exhibit. The Youth Education’s Outreach Specialist visited six schools during May, educating approximately 735 students and 24 teachers through 20 presentations. Mini-grants: Splash! Mini-Grant Sharing Days were completed in 13 counties, allowing teachers to discuss their mini-grant projects and share ideas with one another. Pinellas County's Sharing Day was May 1. District staff attended other Sharing Days as follows: Pasco (May 5), Hillsborough (May 12, 13, 14), Charlotte (May 14), Manatee (May 15), Hernando (May 20), Sarasota (May 20, 22, 23), Citrus (May 21), Polk (May

Item 66 21), Marion (May 22), Sumter (May 23, 30) and DeSoto (May 29). The Splash! Mini-Grant application for the 2008–2009 school year is now available at WaterMatters.org/mini-grants.Applications are due September 12, 2008. Teacher training: Seven Project WET workshops have trained 158 teachers so far this school year. Three Project WET workshops are currently scheduled: June 16 for Charlotte County teachers at the Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center; June 17 for Hillsborough County teachers at Nature's Classroom; and June 26 for Hernando County teachers at the Springs Coast Environmental Education Center. One Great Water Odyssey Third Grade Edition workshop was held May 27 in Citrus County at the Technology Resource Center. The workshop trained 12 elementary teachers how to use the program and provided strategies for curriculum integration. The Tampa Bay Ground Water Institute for Teachers was held May 15–17 in Thonotosassa at Nature's Classroom. Attendees included 21 local educators from Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties. Two more Ground Water Institutes are planned for June 12–14 at the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida Conference Center in Sarasota and June 19–21 at the Turner Agri-Center in Arcadia. To date, a total of 139 teachers have participated in the District's Ground Water Institutes. Publications: Approximately 660,000 pieces of youth publications and materials have been disseminated since the start of the school year.

One Bay – Regional Visioning One Bay is a partnership of public and private leaders spearheaded by five regional organizations: Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, Tampa Bay Estuary Program, Southwest Florida Water Management District, Tampa Bay Partnership Regional Research & Education Foundation and the Urban Land Institute Tampa Bay District. The organization was formed in 2007 to follow through on the success of Reality Check, a day-long event at the Tampa Convention Center where citizens from across the region came together to vision for the future of Tampa Bay.

Based on data compiled at the Reality Check events, different priorities were identified in different communities. These priorities were translated into four growth pattern "scenarios" intended to illustrate the different alternatives and encourage input from as many stakeholders as possible. The four scenarios were presented at a series of five Town Hall meetings, held simultaneously, at locations throughout the region on June 2nd. The four scenarios are general concepts that will help further assess the priorities deemed most important by today’s citizens in looking ahead to the future. The opinions and data gathered will be analyzed and used to eventually develop a unified vision for the seven-county Tampa Bay region to help guide the region’s growth and expansion.

Meeting participants heard introductory remarks and a webcast presentation from the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council. The presentation included discussion of the projected demographics for year 2050, initiative activities to date, and an introduction to the four growth scenarios. Participants were then asked to complete surveys identifying their preferred growth scenario. This was followed by a question and answer session. Questions ranged from the influence of gas prices on future growth to why we aren't planning for 100 years.

The meeting concluded with closing remarks from the Tampa Bay Partnership and Tomorrow Matters. The importance of public involvement was emphasized. Tomorrow Matters staff noted the effort's goal is to receive input on the growth scenarios from at least 10,000 people. There was mention of the initiative's interest in making presentations to local groups and organizations. Persons unable to attend a formal presentation can participate by completing the online survey on the One Bay website, myonebay.com. The public input process is slated to run until mid-July.

Annual Programmatic Budget The Planning Department has been assisting the Finance Department with the creation of the Annual Programmatic Budget. Given their broad exposure to the overall District operation, the Planning Department has coordinated the compilation of the text discussion of the "Program Description," "District Description," "Changes & Trends," "Major Budget Items," and "Budget Variances" sections within the Programmatic Budget.

Item 66

Local Government 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plans (see Exhibit) Planning Department staff continues to review and comment on 10-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plans. The adoption deadline for these plans was May 30, 2008 for most local governments in 10-county area covered by the District's Regional Water Supply Plan. The deadline was June 14, 2008 for the two counties split between the SWFWMD and the SFWMD. At this point in time, approximately 10 percent of the communities within the District have met the deadline, with 35 percent in the submittal process, and 55 percent out of compliance.

Regional Planning Council Update Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (May 12, 2008) – The meeting highlight was reports from Henrietta McBee, Florida Power and Light (FP&L), and Paula Dye, Tampa Bay Water (TBW). The FP&L presentation focused on investments in renewable energy sources – wind, solar and ocean current. Council members were particularly interested in a wind project planned for St. Lucie County, Florida. FP&L indicated the project would help define Florida's future in wind energy. TBW discussed their long term planning efforts, including the update of its water demand projections, Long-Term Water Master Plan, and the proposed second reservoir. TBW noted a feasibility study is underway for the new reservoir and identified the six locations under consideration. Council members were provided the criteria proposed for screening the sites and were asked to provide feedback. Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council (April 17, 2008) – The North Port Garden and Harborview DRI were granted sufficiency extension, and Council staff presented the Staff Assessment for the South LaBelle Village DRI. Council members Tom Babcock and Laura Holquist were appointed as primary and alternate members, respectively, on the Agency on Bay Management (Estero Bay). There was discussion regarding the Council's July 17th

retreat. It will be a workshop to develop the update for their Strategic Regional Policy Plan and will be facilitated by the Collins Center for Public Policy, Inc. An interview subcommittee was formed to coordinate with the Collins Center. Diane Davies from SWFWMD staff was chosen as a member of that subcommittee. Mayor Mick Denham (Sanibel) provided the LWC Watersheds Subcommittee Report. There was discussion on the resolution (#2008-02) for the Managed Care Model for Guidance for On-site Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems. The resolution was approved by the Council and will be used to implement the program on a local government basis. During member comments, SFWMD staff brought up concerns regarding the disconnection between water supply and Future Land Use Maps Comprehensive Plan Amendments within development orders. Staff's concern is often times the utility will supply a letter stating it will supply the development, while in reality it does not have the permitted capacity and/or permitted quantities to do so. Upon further discussion a subcommittee was formed to address the issue. Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council (May 15, 2008) – The May 15, 2008 meeting was cancelled due to lack of agenda items. Central Florida Regional Planning Council May 14, 2008) – The meeting began with a brief business meeting immediately followed by the Council's Annual Retreat. Pat Steed, CFRPC Executive Director, led the retreat and provided a broad overview of Council operations. She discussed Heartland 2060 as the tool used to look at the future of the Central Florida Region and changes that may occur in the demographics that include population, education, jobs, growth, environment, natural resources, and land use. There was limited discussion on water supply outside of looking for ways to create sustainable communities through planning. Conservation and alternative water supplies were mentioned while discussing the future of Central Florida, but not as a separate discussion item.

Strategic Planning The Governing Board was provided the four Water Supply Strategic Initiatives at their May meeting. In June the respective Basin Boards will also receive the drafts for review and comment. The Water Quality Strategic Initiatives, Climate Change Initiative, and Emergency Response will be discussed in July, along with a detail review of all success indicators at the final Strategic Team meeting to be held July 15th. The June Strategic Team meeting was cancelled given the favorable position of the project relative to schedule deadlines.

Finance and Administration Committee June 24, 2008

Discussion Item Fiscal Year 2009 Presentation of Recommended Annual Service Budget

PurposeProvide the Governing Board an overview of the fiscal year (FY) 2009 Recommended Annual Service Budget. The budget has been prepared with ad valorem revenue projections based on the assumption that the Governing and Basin Boards will maintain FY2009 millage rates at the rates adopted for FY2008, and with the initial June 1 estimates of taxable values from the 16-county Property Appraisers. Actual ad valorem revenue will be determined following receipt of the Certifications of Taxable Values due July 1, 2008. Background The FY2009 budget development process began in December 2007 with the Governing Board's acceptance of the budget development process memorandum, including the budget calendar, budget strategic priorities and general budget preparation assumptions. Staff has been preparing the FY2009 budgets since January 2008. The preliminary budgets were presented for the first time to the Basin Boards in April. On May 27, the Governing Board approved the Five-Year Technology Plan FY2009-FY2013 and the Five-Year Capital Improvements Plan FY2009-FY2013 for inclusion in the Recommended Annual Service Budget. At their June meetings, the Basin Boards are reviewing proposed budgets and adopting proposed FY2009 millage rates for recommendation to the Governing Board.

On June 24, the FY2009 Recommended Annual Service Budget will be presented to the Governing Board to be updated monthly through September. The delivery of the budget to the Governing Board was scheduled for June to allow for receipt of the initial June 1 estimates of taxable values from the 16-county Property Appraisers.

The Governing Board and the Basin Boards that have met as of the date this recap was prepared have indicated that they will maintain the FY2009 millage rates at the levels adopted for FY2008 to avoid any increase in the millage rates. Due to declining property values as initially reported by the county Property Appraisers, the Maximum Millage Rate would require an increase in the millage rates above the rates adopted for FY2008.

At the July 29 Governing Board meeting, staff will review the Certifications of Taxable Values and proposed FY2009 Districtwide General Fund and Watershed Basin millage rates, in compliance with Sections 200.065 and 200.185, Florida Statutes, as amended. Staff will request the Governing Board to adopt proposed FY2009 millage rates for the Districtwide General Fund and the eight Watershed Basins.

The Standard Format Tentative Budget Submission to the Executive Office of the Governor (due August 1, 2008) will reflect the budget as of July 15, 2008, updated to reflect ad valorem revenue based on the July 1 Certifications of Taxable Values.

The District's FY2009 budget will be adopted in September following two public Truth in Millage budget hearings. The first hearing is scheduled for 5:01 p.m. at the Tampa Service Office on September 16, 2008. The Governor's office will review and approve the budgets of all five water management districts before the second and final public hearing. The second and final hearing is scheduled for 5:01 p.m. at Brooksville Headquarters on September 30, 2008.

Item 69 The FY2009 Recommended Annual Service Budget notebooks will be sent to the Governing Board under separate cover prior to the meeting.

Finance and Administration Committee June 24, 2008 Submit & File Report Treasurer's Report, Payment Register, and Contingency Reserves Report

PurposePresentation of the Treasurer's Report, Payment Register, and Contingency Reserves Report.

Background

In accordance with Board Policy 130-3, District Investment Policy, a monthly report on investments shall be provided to the Governing Board. Attached is a copy of the Treasurer's Report as of May 31, 2008, which reflects total cash and investments at a market value of $668,299,894.

As reflected on the May 31, 2008, Treasurer's Report, the investment portfolio had $128.6 million or 19.2 percent invested in the State Board of Administration (SBA) Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) with $105.3 million in Fund A and $23.3 million in Fund B. The District has received $4.4 million of Fund A interest earnings during the eight months ended May 31, 2008. Fund B is not distributing interest earnings. The District is managing its short-term and daily liquidity needs through the use of two money market funds (Dreyfus Government Cash Management and Federated Government Obligations #5). Consistent with Board Policy 130-3, the maximum percent of the portfolio that will be invested in any one money market fund is 25 percent.

Fund A is the fund whose assets are not considered at risk and are disbursed as liquid funds become available. The District's investment in Fund A is at $105.3 million, down from the initial investment of $246.6 million. The District is expecting a distribution from Fund A in August and another distribution by the end of September 2008.

Fund B is the fund that includes impaired assets or those currently considered at risk. The District's investment in Fund B is at $23.3 million, down from the initial investment of $40.7 million. The District is expecting another distribution from Fund B by the end of June 2008.

Staff will continue to monitor the SBA activities to determine how this will impact the District's current investment in the SBA LGIP Fund B, and affect the District's investment strategy going forward.

In accordance with Board Policy 130-1, Disbursement of Funds, all general checks written during a period shall be reported to the Governing Board at its next regular meeting. The Payment Register listing disbursements since last month's report is available upon request. The Payment Register includes checks and electronic funds transfers (EFTs).

Finance and Administration Committee June 24, 2008 Routine Report Management Services Status Report

Brooksville Building 1 Feasibility Study Brooksville Building 1 is a one-story building constructed in 1964 as the first building on the Brooksville campus. There have been three additions to the building since that date. This building currently houses the Information Resources and Finance Departments and the Geographic Information Systems Section of the Operations Department. It is recommended that a condition assessment study be performed of the building to determine on a cost/benefit basis whether to replace the building's major systems (electrical, HVAC, and roof) and reprioritize space to better meet District requirements, or to demolish and replace the structure. Based on the results of the study, the recommended building rehabilitation, including evaluation of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) options, and new construction will be added for the Governing Board's consideration to the Capital Improvements Plan for future years. New Activities Since Last Meeting: District staff have negotiated an agreement within budget with the architectural and engineering firm of Long and Associates, Tampa. It is expected that the contract will be executed and the study will begin July 1, 2008 with an anticipated completion date of December 2008. Learning Management System Training and staff development represent a critical investment in the District's human capital. A Learning Management System (LMS) is a major component of the comprehensive Human Resources Information System (HRIS) which will be implemented beginning this year. To provide much of the needed functionality between now and the rollout of the new system, the District has undertaken some significant interim initiatives. First, the District currently has deployed an internally developed database, Training Central, which centralizes the administration of all internal, District-sponsored training. This database automates and standardizes many of the routine training functions: course and class creation, catalog publication, registration, notification, confirmation, managing prerequisites, budget and cost information and student training history.

Functionality has been added to Training Central to allow supervisors to view their employees' internal (District sponsored) training history. A new Training Central feature rolled out on September 4, 2007. 'My Education' allows an employee to add their academic degrees, professional certifications, licensures, and certificate programs to the Training Central database. Managers and supervisors have the ability to view education history for their employees, to capture and report on external training, and on licensure and certification requirements where applicable, and to store employee education (college degree) information. In addition, we will add more information, available to all employees regarding college and university offerings of all types.The external training and development function of Training Central was released to employees in late January 2008. 'My External Development' allows employees to enter all training and development events they attend, along with any applicable educational units (e.g. CEUs) that apply to their certification requirements. With this added feature, Training Central gives managers and supervisors the ability to view a complete history of employees' training and education with one tool.A new Training web page has been developed by IRD and HRD staff to provide employees with current information on the District's training initiatives. It gives staff the ability to link to all departments that offer training. External links are also included to educational and other relevant sites. The web page was released to all employees in December 2007 and will be updated and enhanced on a regular basis.

Current Status: The scheduled implementation of the LMS component of our new HRIS remains the same having been moved up from October 2009 to September 2008. Staff are

Item 72 learning the new system and reviewing current training data in preparation for the implementation.

Employee Turnover Employee turnover is widely viewed as a key indicator of an employer's ability to attract and retain the critical talent required to move the enterprise forward. As a public sector employer, the District has historically enjoyed turnover relatively low compared to the private sector and, generally, to other public sector organizations in its geographic area. This District began to experience an upturn in turnover in 2005 that continued in 2006. Specifically, total turnover increased from 7.62% in FY2004 to 9.35% in FY2005 and to 11.33% in FY2006. Early in 2006, with the full support of the Governing Board, the District undertook a major study of its compensation and benefit practices. This effort resulted in the adoption of significant improvements to our direct compensation program, several changes to our benefit plans and the adoption of a District matching contribution arrangement for participants in the deferred compensation plan. In FY2007, the District experienced a decrease of overall employee turnover to 6.33% versus the record high of 11.33% the prior fiscal year. Current Status:

For the first eight months of FY2008, employee turnover (regular, board-authorized positions) was 4.6%. For the same time period in FY2007, employee turnover was 3.9%. If current trends continue, annual turnover for FY2008 would be 6.9%. Voluntary turnover through the first eight months of the current fiscal year stands at 3.0%. There have been 10 retirements with at least seven more scheduled in this fiscal year; the total of 17 will exceed the totals of the past three years. Retirements account for one-third of all separations this year. The number of vacant positions as of June 1, 2008 was 27, the same as the previous month. Overall, vacancies are considerably lower than in FY2006 and FY2007. The District experienced a record high of 58 vacancies in February 2006 and an average of 34.9 vacancies per month for the past two Fiscal Years. Human Resources staff will continue to track and report to management on turnover trends to ensure that we are prepared to respond to any unusual upward trends that may occur in the future.

Water Management Information System (WMIS) The vision for the Water Management Information System (WMIS), as defined in the 2005 Vision Statement, is that it will support the District's activities related to Water Use Permitting, Environmental Resource Permitting, and Well Construction Permitting. In addition, the system will have the ability to store and retrieve Scientific and Regulatory data, as well as the ability to capture and track compliance activities. Specifically, it will: Facilitate and allow for comprehensive demonstration of the District’s accomplishment of its mission and accountability for its performance in meeting its areas of responsibility.

Provide for the entry, maintenance, analysis, and presentation of the District’s scientific and regulatory data.

Be easy to use, robust, nimble, and enable appropriate decision-making through the consistent application of the District’s scientific, regulatory, and business processes.

Be a component of the District’s Strategic Information Systems architecture. This project is scheduled for completion in FY 2010 with planned interim releases designed to continuously improve well-defined District regulatory and scientific functions. The next major interim releases include all Water Use Permits by October 2008, Environmental Resource Permitting and Sovereign Submerged Lands by October 2009, and any additional system integration by September 2010. The IBM Mainframe will be removed by the end of this project plan. Current Status: A major release was implemented in March 2008 that contained several improvements and new functionality. The new functionality allows the public to self-register and receive WUP permit noticing weekly through their e-mail, thus saving the District paper and mailing costs. A new Resource Data search option is now also available for public access through our web site to search for or download District collected water values. This information can be searched by site, date range and/or parameters, and it has map integration. Internal improvements for Water Use Permitting (WUP) include sending and receiving correspondence electronically, running the Agricultural Model (AGMOD) within the evaluation process, ability to

16

Item 72 modify an application on-line and a personal dashboard of up-to-date reports based on job function. A maintenance release is scheduled for mid-June. This release will provide for additional WCP payments with a new financial tab, enhanced well completion reporting and improved site and portfolio maintenance information, Next Major Milestones: The next major functional software release, scheduled for October 2008, will include expanded on-line permitting for all predominant uses with new application forms, user requested enhancements and additional reporting. A new stand-alone release of AGMOD is scheduled for early July. The project remains on time and within budget.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) The District's critical information is currently located in multiple repositories including desktop computers, network file systems, CD-ROMS, USB drives and multiple electronic systems. The Information Resources Department (IRD) and Records Management share in this task of managing the District's critical information in this environment. Daily volumes of general correspondence, email, spreadsheets, digital images, video, audio, and web content, make it necessary to manage the totality of content at the District. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) provides for the centralized management of all content and allows quick access to the information in a structured manner. It is critical to the District's business continuity that this information is safe, secured and easily retrievable on demand. The ECM strategic project is a collaborative effort between IRD and Records Management. Records Management is working on procedural changes and documenting those procedures to support the ECM effort. IRD is working on the technical architecture and system interfaces required for implementation and operation. Due to requirements listed in FAC 1B-26.003, storage for the electronic records is also a major concern that will be addressed with an ECM infrastructure. The District has already implemented some components of content management such as imaging and workflow processing in the Water Management Information System (WMIS). South Florida and St. Johns Water Management Districts are in like stages of their ECM implementations. Current Status: In FY2007, funds were approved for consulting services to conduct requirements, return on investment and risk analyses on expanding the limited, existing content management efforts to other areas of the District. These include areas such as Communications, Finance, Human Resources, Land Resources, Office of the General Counsel, and Records Management. As identified in the April Governing Board approved IRD Five Year Technology Plan Fiscal Years 2008-2012, a multi-year Enterprise Content Management implementation plan is proposed. Funding for this project is projected over a five-year period. FY2008 is the initial year of implementation. The RFP for the analysis portion of the project was issued in December 2006 and awarded to HCL, America Inc. (HCL) in May 2007. The RFP structure and final requirements were reviewed and approved by the ARB. The Executive sponsor review was completed March 2008. A Request for Quotes (RFQ) was released in May to identify the most qualified vendor to assist the District in developing an enterprise-wide content taxonomy. A taxonomy provides a formal categorization of records needed to ensure the proper classification and retrieval of content. From these quotes, Dow Jones & Company was selected. This effort is anticipated to begin in early June and to be completed in a three-month period. An enterprise-wide taxonomy will support current Records Management efforts and is a key baseline required for a successful ECM implementation. Funding for this effort is from remaining FY2007 ECM funds. Next Major Milestones: A RFP to implement an ECM solution via the most qualified vendor has been submitted to the Contracts Administration Section. The release of the RFP is scheduled for June 20, 2008. Contract award is planned for October 2008. The next two major milestones are the implementation of basic content management by April 2009 and new records management capabilities by August 2009. Based on District requirements, additional ECM features identified by the HCL study would be completed by July 2012.

Land Resources Information System (LaRIS) In 1981, the Save Our Rivers program was established by the Florida Legislature for the acquisition of lands necessary for water management, water supply, protection and conservation of water resources. This program was broadened in 1990 with the Preservation 2000 Act and revised in 1999 with the Florida Forever Act. Utilizing these programs, the Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) has acquired fee simple interest in over

17

Item 72 330,000 acres and less than fee interest in over 67,000 acres for various water management requirements. The lands that are acquired by the District require management and maintenance to provide public access, recreational use and protection of the natural systems. Managing these resources requires that District staff have access to comprehensive information for each of the District's properties The Land Resources Information System (LaRIS) was envisioned to meet land acquisition and management requirements and significantly improve the business processes. The 2005 LaRIS vision statement states that the system will: Provide a common, centralized storage location for detailed Land Resources data. Have user-friendly applications for the input and maintenance of Land Resources data. Validate information is in proper format. Generate required documentation output such as detailed reports and map documents. Allow District staff to easily and efficiently access and utilize the necessary information pertaining to District-owned lands to perform the duties of their jobs.

Funding for this project is reimbursable through the Water Management Lands Trust Fund. Current Status: The Land Management burn components (Burn Planning, Burn Prescriptions, Burn Evaluations and Burn Coordination) are now complete and in production. Land has requested that we add some mapping functionality as an enhancement. This function is now in acceptance. The majority of Land Acquisition components were also moved to production. Next Major Milestones: The initial Acceptance release of Land Use Components is scheduled to begin testing in June 2008. These components include the Land Use screens and Land Use Agreements. Land Resources along with Information Resources will be reviewing all identified requirements and funding to ensure the best use of resources and that new requirements, based on system use, are fully integrated.

Project Information Management System (PIMS) The Project Information Management System (PIMS) project was started in FY 2006 as a replacement for a limited function project management system written in Domino/Lotus Notes. The earlier project management solution was a critical resource used by the Governing Board and Basin Boards to evaluate the progress of existing projects. This evaluation is used by the board to determine the direction of funding for projects on an annual basis. The previous system had no automated integration with the financial system, and required an extensive manual effort to achieve this integration. The previous application also failed to provide appropriate security and auditing to verify the source of the information. The proposed PIMS solution provides an easier to use process for project definition, automates the integration with the financial systems and provides integration with other district applications including the Water Management Information System (WMIS), the Surface Water Improvement Management (SWIM) program and document management. It is designed to reduce the administrative effort to maintain the information, improve the accuracy of the information and provide more flexibility in how the information is reported. It also includes Cooperative Funding Initiative (CFI) online access. Current Status: A CFI software release was implemented in March 2008. A major PIMS release is being tested with implementation planned for July 2008. This includes document management functionality, expanded search options, other user requested enhancements and data exports, along with a redesign to a look and feel more like WMIS. Next Major Milestones: The project's focus will change from PIMS to CFI. New requirements include updated CFI entry functions and incorporating the evaluation form. The first update to CFI is scheduled for late September 2008.

Human Resources Information System (HRIS) As identified in the Information Resources Department Five-Year Technology Plan, FY2008 to FY2012, the District requires greater functionality from its Human Resource and Payroll processes. The existing applications, Hewitt CYBORG Human Resource and Payroll, are not fully integrated or as robust as required for current demands. The data is currently on multiple hardware and software platforms and must be better integrated to meet current and future processing requirements and to significantly improve workflows. Replacing the currently disparate systems and processes with an integrated solution, will improve data integrity and data analysis. It will also reduce the staff impact caused by developing multiple interfaces to integrate the current systems. Additionally, replacing the current systems with a more current

18

Item 72 technology helps ensure the District's technical architecture standards are met and the orderly removal of legacy systems from the IBM Enterprise Server (Mainframe) continues on schedule. Current Status: A team from Finance, Human Resources and Information Resources developed and evaluated a Request for Proposal (RFP) to achieve the objectives stated above. The RFP was released in May 2007. Five vendors submitted responsive proposals. The three strongest vendors were invited to present live demonstrations of their products during the last week in August. Based on District staff evaluations, NuView Systems was chosen as the best system meeting the required functional, technical and cost criteria. As also indicated in the IRDFive Year Technology Plan, FY2008-FY2012, $794,000 is available for HRIS implementation in FY2008 and $400,000 and $150,000 are planned for FY2009 and FY2010, respectively. The FY2009 and FY2010 HRIS budgets will be significantly reduced to only the recurring software maintenance costs and any final conversion/implementation costs. Updated investment requirements are in the IRD Five-Year Technology Plan, FY2009-FY2013. After the NuView software is implemented, Hewitt software budgetary costs will be eliminated. Product installation took place during the week of January 28, 2008. NuView conducted the initial Project Kickoff and training in early February 2008. Payroll was set up during the month of April. Training on payroll has begun. Next Major Milestones: Estimated project completion is mid calendar year 2009. Other milestones include the initial HR/Benefits release in mid June followed by a go-live date for Payroll of June 23, 2008.

Unified Communication Process Improvement The District has identified the need for better and more refined governance and asset management regarding the interoperability of voice, data and radio communications. The principles of shared decision making, accountability, business applications and infrastructure for voice and radio communications must be part of the District's architecture. These principles become especially critical during emergency events where coordinated communications between the groups are essential. Interoperability needs to be addressed as a coordinated effort between all the departments key in implementing voice and radio communications including: Finance, Information Resources, Land Resources, Operations and General Services. This project includes implementing this decision-making structure for coordinating the interoperability of voice and radio communications throughout the District. The goals of this project are to: Create a common understanding of communications interoperability at the District Integrate existing and future communications systems Establish a process for the acquisition, support and maintenance of unified communications systems

Facilitate training to enhance the efforts of unified communications Current Status: A draft project charter was developed on March 21, 2008. The initial meeting was held on March 27, 2008. At that time, the Executive Sponsor, Deputy Executive Director for Management Services, and Project Sponsors from Information Resources, General Services, Operations and Land met to review the charter. Meeting was held on April 7, 2008. A baseline inventory of equipment and budget requirements was established for Information Resources, General Services, Operations and Land. Next Major Milestones: The next Sponsor's meeting is scheduled for June 30, 2008. An initial requirements analysis is planned for September 2008.
