Long-Term Plan Update

1. Long-Term Plan Update Source Control Projects Non-ECP Basins (ESP Basins) Carlos Adorisio, PE, SFWMD June 1, 2006

2. BASINS TRIBUTARY TO THE EVERGLADES

3. Long-Term Plan Update Introduction • In general, the recommended strategy in the Non-ECP basins is to rely upon source controls and full integration with CERP to achieve water quality standards. • In addition to the Non-ECP Permit requirements, Part 3 of the LTP (Pre-2006 Strategies, ESP Basins) defines supplemental strategies and approaches for water quality improvement in discharges from the Non-ECP Basins.

4. Source ControlsNon-ECP Basins Objectives are to be carried out using an integrated approach balancing four distinct elements:

5. Source ControlsNon-ECP Basins Source Controls • Cooperative agreements - monitoring and implementation of BMPs • On-going and/or proposed local capital improvement projects • Non-structural BMPs: • New permit requirement and/or modification to address water quality concerns • Operational changes • Public outreach - ESP Public Outreach Plan

6. Long-Term Plan Update Non-ECP strategies funded under LTP (FYs 04-06) • Source controls • BMP development and implementation: C-11 West and VOW • BMP Grant program: Feeder Canal • Additional analyses • Ensure no impacts to flood protection: NSID and NNRC • Water quality improvement measures: C-11 West

7. The Broward Everglades Working Group (BEWG) • Background - In response to a request from Broward County EPD, LTP recognizes that reduction of phosphorus through source controls (i.e., urban BMPs) is of highest priority to achieve compliance with the phosphorus criterion. • LTP ProjectDescription - The SFWMD will assist Broward County in coordinating a county-wide working group to develop a comprehensive pollution prevention plan with specific water quality goals.

8. BEWGAccomplishments • Stakeholders participated in the identification of various pollution reduction options, with each agency determining where they could contribute. • Each party presented an overview of activities underway and to be undertaken in support of the Working Group’s objectives and Everglades Restoration. • Activities and commitments of each stakeholder group were compiled as part of C-11 West Basin Pollution Reduction Action Plan (April 2006 Final Report).

10. BEWGNext Steps • Maintain momentum through frequent updates with participants, assist partners with implementation, and revise strategy as necessary • Measure progress through water quality monitoring • Continue partnership between Broward County & SFWMD to develop pollution reduction action plans for the NSID and NNRC basins and to expand outreach and technical support

11. C-11 W BasinSource Controls • TP range: 16-19 ppb (average: 17 ppb) • SFWMD: • $2 million to cost share local capital improvement projects • SBDD and ITDD to modify permits • Stringent requirement for new development • CBWCD Outreach: presentations at local elementary schools
