Z074 Risk Management - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Project Type On-Going Activities AORs Strategic Initiatives Management Services Management Services Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Alafia River, Hillsborough River, Northwest Hillsborough, Pinellas-Anclote River, Withlacoochee River, Peace River PETRUCCELLI, LUCY Ongoing Description The funds budgeted for this project apply to insurance on insured water control structures in this basin. Those structures with their corresponding insured values include: S-551 - $3,567,000, Saw Grass Lake -$522,000 and Lake Tarpon Sink - $676,000. The total insured value is $4,785,000. Governing Board Policy 120-1, directs that a Risk Management function be maintained to protect the assets of the District using an appropriate market based financing measure of a blend of self-insurance, insurance or transfer of risk. Budgeting a known minimal expenditure annually for insurance premiums has been more cost effective for the individual basins than establishing permanent reserves equal to the value of an individual structure or maximum probable loss should any structure be damaged or destroyed. Property coverage is currently provided in layers through several property insurance carriers. The current deductible is set at $5,000 on all losses except flood and wind. Status As Of: November 23, 2009 Property insurance renewal rates for period 10/01/2009-09/30/2010 were.35/$100 of insured value. All funds for FY2010 have been expended to cover the annual premium for insurance on the insured structures. There will be no further status reports this fiscal year unless there is a property damage claim reported on a structure. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 5

S099 Save Our Rivers Administration monies for SOR, Preservation 2000 and Florida Forever (reimbursable) projects. Generally, funds are not charged to this project, but transferred to other reimbursable projects within the Basin. An example is overtime. Staff knows at budget time that overtime will be required within the basins for work on SOR projects, but does not know for which projects, so monies will be budgeted in S099. When overtime is used later in the year, the monies will show as being spent for the actual project the staff member worked on (i.e., S009- Starkey, S016 - Weekiwachee Preserve, etc.). In the District funds monies are primarily used for SOR program administration, purchase of equipment and contractual services. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 19
SH09 Starkey Land Use and Management Plan Update Project Type SOR AORs Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) MILLER, WILL Status Completed Description This land use and management plan for the Starkey Property was completed and approved by the Board in September 1990. When the plan was written the District owned 8,000 acres. The District has purchased or received title to 19,266 acres in fee simple in the project. An update of the management plan is required to address all of the ownership and current land use and management objectives of the property. The update for this plan was proposed for an outsource contract in budget year 2004. In budget year 2004 $30,000 was budgeted for the update to be offered to qualified consultants through a request for quote. Qualified consultants were invited to submit proposals for the updated plan. It was required that the updated plan comply with applicable statutory mandates, be consistent with established District policies and procedures, and conform with generally accepted principals and objectives of natural area management. The plan must also address: 1) long-range strategies for the protection of site-specific water management values and benefits; 2) the implementation and management of appropriate resource-based recreational usage by the public 3) the management and preservation of sensitive, on-site natural resources; 4) habitat restoration needs and strategies for disturbed or altered natural systems; and 5) suitability of the property to support environmentally compatible silviculture, grazing of livestock, or other revenue-generating "multiple uses". Following completion of a draft plan and presentation at a public workshop, the Consultant and Project Manager will jointly present the plan to the Hillsborough River Basin Board for review, and to the Governing Board for final review and approval.

The plan was originally prepared in 1988 and updated in 1992 and 1999. Development and update of the SWIM plan is completed in coordination with involved stakeholders and governmental agencies and includes: an assessment of implementation progress, development of new projects (rationale and justification), and determination of pertinent Pollutant Load Reduction Goals (PLRG). Additionally, this project provides for the implementation of projects identified in the Tampa Bay SWIM Plan; including water quality assessments necessary for SWIM plan implementation, periodic Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) Technical Advisory Committee meetings, contract development, invoicing, project presentations, site visits and other relevant tasks. Benefits A SWIM Plan must be developed and approved before state SWIM funds can be spent on restoration, protection or management activities. Costs The FY2010 ongoing costs for the Tampa Bay SWIM Plan Implementation are funded 25 percent from the Pinellas-Anclote River, 25 percent from the Manasota, 25 percent from the Hillsborough River, and 25 percent from the Alafia River Basin Boards. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information In 1987, the Florida Legislature established the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Act having recognized that water quality and habitat in surface waters throughout the state have degraded or were in danger of being degraded. The Act requires the five water management districts to maintain a priority list of water bodies of regional or statewide significance within their boundaries, and develop plans and programs for the improvement of those water bodies. Tampa Bay was identified by the Legislature in the SWIM Act as the highest priority on the District's SWIM priority list. To date, ten SWIM water bodies in the District have had plans developed and approved by the state. Several plans have been updated one or more times as required by the Act. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 22

W025 Pinellas County Environmental Fund (PCEF) Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas Co. Department of Environmental Mgt. GARCIA, LIZANNE Status Ongoing Description This project is in response to a FY2010 cooperative funding request from Pinellas County to support the Pinellas County Environmental Fund (PCEF) which is a charter program of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), a 501.3(c) non-profit organization created by Congress. The PCEF is partnership between the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the NFWF. PCEF provides funding through a competitive application process for projects that will protect, restore, or enhance the natural resources of Tampa Bay as outlined in the Tampa Bay Estuary Program's (TBEP) Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) for Tampa Bay. District funds for this project would be used only for the design, permitting, and construction of water quality improvement or natural systems restoration projects within the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin. PCEF has been funded by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and corporate and individual sponsors. Due to budget shortfalls, Pinellas County was not able to provide a match for this project in FY2010. Subsequently, NFWF has matching funds available from fines collected as a result of environmental crimes. NFWF administers all grant awards on behalf of PCEF and will be the lead on this project. District staff will participate in review of project proposals, and only those meeting the District's criteria would be eligible for District matching funding. Benefits This project is important for meeting management goals of SWIM and the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP). Projects that would receive District funds will restore or enhance habitats and improve water quality. PCEF procedures for requesting proposals from public and private partners, reviewing and ranking proposals, and entering into agreements for the selected projects, allow for rapid disbursement of funds to high priority projects. PCEF has been very successful in leveraging public and private partner funding, and on average, projects are matched 2.4:1. Costs The FY2010 budget is $700,000, with NFWF and the District each contributing half of the balance ($350,000). The District's portion is funded by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information 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 through out the state have degraded or 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. Subsequently, in 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency 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 (TBNEP) was established in 1991 (with the District as a founding partner) to assist the region in developing a comprehensive plan for the restoration and protection of Tampa Bay. The TBNEP developed the first Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) for Tampa Bay in 1996 which included measurable goals for restoring seagrasses and related targets for reducing nitrogen discharges to the bay. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 24

However, due to budget shortfalls, Pinellas County was unable to fund this project in its FY2010 budget which has resulted in a delay in developing a contract for this project. In the interim, NFWF has found and budgeted funds for the project and therefore, the District will be entering into an agreement with NFWF. District staff sent a draft agreement to NFWF in March 2009 and are awaiting comments from NFWF. The agreeement provides details regarding the timeline for NFWF/PCEF advertising and reviewing proposals and awarding grants to the selected projects. The agreement also has requirements that allow the District ultimate approval of the projects funded with District funds. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 25

The District participates in three main areas. First the District's SWIM program, funded by the basin boards and State, carries out the projects that will address water quality and habitat restoration within the bay. Second, the basin boards and State have contributed funding to the TBEP since 1990 to carry out the administration and implement projects identified in the TBEP Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan. And finally, the District provides staff to sit on the technical, management and policy (Governing Board Member) boards and the Nitrogen Management Consortium of the program. The District's annual budget includes funding support to the TBEP and District staff salaries, travel and central garage to administer the project, which includes attending board meetings and other workshops and invoicing. Benefits This project's support of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program creates an opportunity for a cohesive effort between the District, TBEP and other state and local agencies to implement resource management decisions and restoration activities. Additionally, this project provides for leveraging funding between the partners. Costs The District has provided funding to the TBEP on an annual basis since 1990. The District's annual funding commitment to the TBEP is $138,335. Prior to FY2011, the District share was split between State SWIM funds (50%) and the Basin Boards (50%). In FY2011, the District's proposed funding will be funded 100% by the Basin Boards. The FY2011 proposed funding is split 25 percent ($34583.75) from the Pinellas-Anclote River, 25 percent ($34583.75) from the Manasota, 25 percent ($34583.75) from the Hillsborough River, and 25 percent ($34583.75) from the Alafia River Basin Boards. District funds are used to implement projects outlined in the Annual Workplan. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information TBEP Background: 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 through out 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. Subsequently, in 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency 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 (TBNEP) was established in 1991 (with the District as a founding partner) to assist the region in developing a comprehensive plan for the restoration and protection of Tampa Bay. The TBNEP developed the first Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) for Tampa Bay in 1996 which included measurable goals for restoring seagrasses and related targets for reducing nitrogen discharges to the bay. The parties unanimously adopted a "hold the line" target on nitrogen discharges that capped the load at a level that would ensure adequate water clarity and light to sustain seagrass recovery. In August 1996, the NEP's governmental partners joined with key industries in the Tampa Bay region to create a unique public/private partnership known as the Tampa Bay Nitrogen Management Consortium (Consortium) for the express purpose of developing a Consortium Action Plan to meet the "hold the line" target. The original Consortium Action Plan consisted of more than 100 projects which collectively reduced or precluded nitrogen discharges to the bay by an estimated 134 tons/year between 1995 and 1999. In 1998, local government and agency partners in the TBNEP executed the Tampa Bay Estuary Program Interlocal Agreement reinforcing their commitment to the NEP and its purpose (at which time the NEP became the Tampa Bay Estuary Program or TBEP). Parties to the Interlocal Agreement include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the District, Hillsborough, Manatee and Pinellas counties and the cites of St. Petersburg, Tampa and Clearwater. The Interlocal Agreement requires that parties provide annual funding to the TBEP, develop an agency action plan and to participate as a member of the Consortium. Later in 1998, the public and private entities in the Consortium executed the "Resolution of the Nitrogen 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 26
W027 Tampa Bay Estuary Program Management Consortium Adopting the 1995-1999 Nitrogen Management Action Plan and Committing to its Implementation" (1998 Resolution). This resolution was presented to the five Basin Boards that represented Tampa Bay (Alafia River, Northwest Hillsborough, Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River, and Manasota) and the Governing Board at their meetings in June 1998 and the Governing Board approved this resolution and the District's Action Plan June 23, 1998. Tampa Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Status: In 1998, pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act, FDEP submitted a TMDL for nitrogen for Tampa Bay to the EPA. The TMDL is based on the annual average total nitrogen loading to major bay segments estimated by the TBEP. These loadings are seen as the maximum loadings that can occur and still meet the seagrass restoration goals. EPA approved the submitted TMDL June 18, 1998. In 1999, the Florida Legislature passed the Florida Watershed Restoration Act which established the state's TMDL process. This Act allows for stakeholders to show that existing or proposed pollution control programs will provide "Reasonable Assurance" (RA) that impaired water bodies will meet their designated uses. If FDEP accepts the documentation for RA, then the water body will not be included on the Verified List for Impaired Waters and will not require the development ofa TMDL. Subsequently, the TBEP and the Consortium developed and submitted a RA document to the FDEP in 2002, based on the Consortium Action Plan. The document provided the FDEP with a complete description of the Tampa Bay Nitrogen Management Strategy. The TBEP also provided FDEP with a copy of the 1998 Resolution that committed both private and public partners to the projects identified in their action plans. The FDEP accepted the 2002 RA document submitted by the TBEP and the Consortium as adequate to address nutrient impairment in Tampa Bay segments, and removed Tampa Bay segments from the State's 303(d) list for 2002-2007.

W027 Tampa Bay Estuary Program processed. TBEP Nitrogen Management Consortium (Consortium): In December 2007, 40+ public and private participants in the Tampa Bay Nitrogen Management Consortium prproactively committedo develop an equitable process to propose TN load allocations to all sources consistent with the TMDL. The RA Document was completed and the FDEP approved the technical changes to the document. TN allocations have been assigned to all 189 point and nonon pointources within the Tampa Bay watershed. The Consortium understands that the proposed allocations will be incorporated into NPDES and MS4 permits. Compliance will be calculated annually for point sources and every 5 yryearss part of the RA Plan updates for non-point sources. The NMC has received declarations of commitment from all members except Cities of Palmetto and Gulfport (pending), Cities of Tampa and Bradenton (unknown) and City of Lakeland (not forwarded for signature). At this time it does not appear that the NMC is requiring the District, DEP or Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) to submit a declaration letter because we don't have allocated loads in the document. However, the District will be asked to contribute contribute $6,000 for the next RA update, which could be included in the FY2011 budget. This is consistent with our contribution of $5,000 several years ago to begin the RA Update process. Old Tampa Bay did not meet its chlorophyll target in 2009 due to large scale algal bloom. If it exceeds this target next year, the NMC will need to re-examine load allocations in the RA Plan. Additionally, The TBEP is including a project in its FY2011 Workplan entitled "Old Tampa Bay Assessment and Action Plan, which the District will be cooperatively funding under project W338. The WQBEL should be published in the FAW in 2 weeks. WQBELs have been established for each bay segment as they are required in order to have regulatory authority with the RA Plan. The NMC discussed having Janicki develop local bay segment specific DPVs to submit to EPA this summer to replace the currently proposed SPARROW values. This work would need to be completed before June 2010. Group agreed to the effort in concept and Janicki to draw up scope of work and budget for this exercise. Numeric Nutrient Criteria: The TBEP and Consortium have requested that USEPA accept and recognize the Consortium's TN and TP loads as Interim Estuarine Numeric Nutrient Loading Targets in the January 2010 draft documentation for freshwaters in the Tampa Bay watershed. The estuarine criteria should be out July 2010 (well in advance of the January 2011 official proposal). For Tampa Bay, the downstream protective load identified by the SPARROW model is 1,421 tons/yr TN. But the RA Document identified a target load of 3,714 tons/yr TN. The model is predicting levels more than two times as restrictive as the RA is proposing. The NMC disagrees with the assumption by EPA that ALL estuaries are impaired and is arguing that the model is overly protective. The NMC recommends a 5 year assessment period instead of the proposed 3 years. The TBEP Policy Board/elected officials sent a letter to EPA (dated 3/18/10) endorsing the request of the NMC that EPA accept and finalize the TN and TP loads as the protective loads used in determining DPV's for the TB estuary. OTB dididn'teet chl target in 2009 due to large scale algal bloom. If it exceeds next year, NMC will need to re-examine load allocations in the RA Plan. Will develop an OTB Assessment and Action Plan (2010-2012). The WQBEL should be published in the FAW in 2 weeks. WQBELs have been established for each bay segment; they are required in order to have regulatory authority with the RA Plan. NMC discussed having Janicki develop local bay segment specific DPVs to submit to EPA this summer to replace the currently proposed SPARROW values.

W030 Tampa Bay Watch Field Trip Program Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Alafia River, Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River, Manasota Tampa Bay Watch HULL, MARY MARGARET Status Proposed Description This Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) project proposes to educate elementary, middle and high school students about estuarine science and empowers them to act as stewards of the Tampa Bay estuary by combining classroom curriculum with 300 hands-on field experiences in and around Tampa Bay Watch's Marine Science Center. Proposed programming includes students and teachers in Hillsborough and Manatee counties as well as serving schools throughout Pinellas County. In FY2011, the program continues to include the educational field experiences, classroom presentations, teacher training, coastal plantings, oyster reef enhancement efforts and coastal cleanups, while adding a pilot comprehensive program evaluation of student learning with no cost increases. The proposed program evaluation will assess the efficacy of understanding and retention of estuarine science and environmental literacy as well as awareness and behavioral changes due to exposure and progressive experiences linked with the programming. Overall efforts will provide restoration of approximately eight acres of coastal and near-shore habitat, build and install 300 new oyster domes and construct approximately 600 linear feet of new oyster shell bars. The program's effectiveness is measured with student pre/posttests, journal work and teacher surveys. Benefits This project proposes to implement an environmental education initiative in Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay was identified as the highest priority on the District's SWIM priority list in 1988. The program's goals are to educate students and teachers about the importance of estuarine habitats and restoration efforts and to empower them to become lifelong stewards of Tampa Bay. The cooperator continues to look for ways to innovate the program and implement improvements. A three year comprehensive pilot study is proposed with three to five participating middle schools to track students' progression and learning from sixth through eighth grade. With expansion of the programs (in FY2009) into Hillsborough and Manatee counties and the addition of Bay Grasses in Classes, this project features a more comprehensive environmental education restoration initiative, reaching a proposed 12,600 students and adults during FY2011. A 32% gain in student knowledge has been documented through pre/posttest analyses. Costs The total proposed costs of the FY2011 program is $307,170, with the District requested to contribute $147,850 (Alafia River $14,785; Hillsborough River $36,963; Pinellas-Anclote River $88,710; Manasota $7,392). The dollar amount allocated for each contributing Basin Board is determined by the participating schools within each basin. District funds will be used for program implementation, 300 field trips, three teacher training workshops, aquatic supplies, equipment and field guides. The program is projected to reach 12,600 students and adults at a cost to the District of $11.73 per person, 28% lower than other comparable youth education projects. The cost per participant contact hour is $2.05, 31% lower than the youth education average. The budget lines below include costs for staff to manage the project. Additional Information The FY2010 total project cost was $307,500, with the District contributing $147,850 (Alafia River $29,570; Hillsborough River $29,570; Pinellas-Anclote River $73,925; Manasota $14,785).

The field expeditions occur at English Creek, Upper Tampa Bay, Cockroach Bay and Hillsborough River State Park. The program is designed to give participants a better understanding of Florida's water resources through 120 hands-on field experiences with HCC science professionals and ultimately to create the next generation of environmental stewards. Teachers can take part in one-day training workshops prior to participation in field trips. Students complete a pre/posttest to measure knowledge gains. During FY2009, student knowledge gains were 30%. The project's effectiveness is also measured through use of teacher surveys. Benefits Tampa Bay was identified as the highest priority on the District's Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) priority list in 1988. Further, this proposed project is designed to implement an environmental education initiative in Tampa Bay. These field expeditions help the District reach its educational goals by emphasizing water quality improvement, water conservation and protection of natural systems within the District. By participating in this project, 5,040 students and teachers learn to be environmental stewards in their community and the District, promoting a future of improved water quality, water conservation and natural systems preservation in Florida. The field trips occur on publicly-owned lands. Costs The total proposed cost of the FY2011 program is $234,135, with the District requested to contribute $40,935 (Alafia $11,277; Hillsborough $28,822; Pinellas-Anclote $836). Staff has removed the project from the Peace River Basin Board's budget and reduced contributions in the other basins with the cooperator's agreement. The dollar amount allocated for each contributing Basin Board is determined by the participating schools within each basin. District funds are being requested for 120 field trips, four one-day teacher workshops, trail maintenance, printing of curriculum materials, and aquatic and water quality testing supplies. The program is projected to reach 2,500 students and teachers at a cost to the District of $16.34 per person, a decrease from FY2010 costs and in line with the average of comparable youth education projects. The costs per participant hour ($4.13) is 39% higher than the average youth education project ($2.95). Budget lines below include costs to manage the project. Additional Information The total FY2010 project cost was $234,135, with the District contributing $85,040 (Alafia $14,464; Hillsborough $60,364; Pinellas-Anclote $5,106; Peace $5,106). The dollar amount allocated for each contributing Basin Board is determined by the participating schools within each basin.

W200 Old Tampa Bay Water Quality and Habitat Assessment Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status GARCIA, LIZANNE KAUFMAN, KRIS Proposed Description The purpose of this project is to initiate a localized assessment of Old Tampa Bay in order to develop segment specific management actions for this Bay segment. Unlike other Bay segments, the water quality and seagrass coverage in Old Tampa Bay has not responded as well as other segments. Recently completed studies and annual adverse conditions that have occurred in the last few years prompted this Tampa Bay Estuary Program Project. Recent results from the Old Tampa Bay/Safety Harbor Restoration Project (W317), a cooperative project with the Tampa Bay Estuary Program, the Tampa Bay Water Quality Decision Matrix, and two Feather Sound Studies, as well as, the reoccurrence of a spring/summer algae bloom in the upper portions of Tampa Bay indicate that a local watershed assessment is necessary to determine the primary factors leading to the adverse events observed in this bay segment. The TBEP will be the lead partner on this project and will be responsible for hiring a contractor to implement the project. Several core research focus areas have been identified, including: 1) determining the effects of targeted nutrient/fertilizer reduction initiatives on the water quality in Old Tampa Bay; 2) refining estimates and determining effects of freshwater inputs to Old Tampa Bay; 3) determining whether existing causeway/bridge structures have a negative ecological effect on circulation and flushing on Old Tampa Bay; 4) Identifying and improving coastal creeks and other restorable areas to address any negative effects from the research projects listed above; and 5) developing enhanced monitoring protocols and programs to better understand the ecological conditions in Old Tampa Bay. The District will participate in the development of the Scope of Work, participate in project meetings and review and approve deliverables for the project. The project will be initiated in 2010 and is anticipated to be complete in 2013. Benefits It is anticipated that additional focused research projects will be implemented to identify actions necessary to alleviate stressors to Old Tampa Bay. The final outcome from this project will be the development of actions specific to Old Tampa Bay to address the observed adverse ecological effects of increasing sediment accumulation rate, nuisance algal blooms and lack of seagrass recovery in this area. Costs The Pinellas-Anclote River and the Hillsborough River Basin Boards has each included $100,000 (50%) in their proposed FY2011 budgets to partner with the Tampa Bay Estuary Program for this evaluation. These funds will be matched by the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. Additional Information Tampa Bay is divided into seven major bay segments: Old Tampa Bay, Hillsborough Bay, Middle Tampa Bay, Lower Tampa Bay, Terra Ceia Bay, Manatee River and Boca Ciega Bay (map attached). In FY2007, the District budgeted $100,000 to partner with the Tampa Bay Estuary Program for the Old Tampa Bay/Safety Harbor Restoration Project (W317), for the purpose of evaluating the accumulation of muck in Safety Harbor and the surrounding area, to determine the source of the muck and to develop potential restoration plans for the Safety Harbor area of Old Tampa Bay. The major findings of W317 showed significant increases in sedimentation rates that began in the 1920's (concurrent with construction of the Causeway) and extended through the 1960's which may coincide with construction activities for the Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal. Also, since the 1940s, sediments in Safety Harbor have been trending away from sources in the bay associated with Tampa Bay microalgae and toward increased land-based sources, notably related to increased inorganic fertilizer sources. Nutrient accumulation has increased the amount of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Safety Harbor area, causing a coincident sedimentary accumulation of organic materials that originate from these organisms. The District, TBEP, Pinellas County and the Cities of Safety Harbor and Oldsmar met in January 2010 to formulate the next steps for this project. The outcome was the inclusion of the Old Tampa Bay Water Quality and Habitat Assessment Project in the Tampa Bay Estuary Program's proposed FY2011 Workplan. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 35

W201 Old Tampa Bay Upper Bay Circulation Model Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) THORNTON, SHELLEY Status Proposed Description Upper and Old Tampa Bay have undergone many changes since pre-development times with the construction of bridges, causeways, mosquito ditches and the Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal which discharges to Old Tampa Bay. These activities have altered the circulation patterns and hydrologic and nutrient loading to these bay segments. The circulation models employed by the TBEP during the Feather Sound seagrass studies suggest that flushing in this portion of Old Tampa Bay is poorer (longer residence times) than other areas and more "flashy" during high rainfall periods. Slower circulation may be the result of the bridges that impede flow, whereas flashy circulation may be a result of direct conveyances through the mosquito ditches within the Feather Sound mangrove area. The Feather Sound project recommended the installation of culverts in the Howard Frankland Bridge causeway. The recently completed Old Tampa Bay Safety Harbor Sediment Assessment (W317) recommended modifications to the Courtney Campbell Causeway as a way to decrease muck accumulation. The purpose of this model would be to evaluate the potential benefits/impacts of adding additional culverts to the causeways and redirecting flow from the Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal. Benefits If implemented, this project will test various scenarios to improve circulation in the Upper and Old Tampa Bay Segments. These scenarios include but are not limited to diversion of flow from the Lake Tarpon Outfall, installation of culverts in the Howard Frankland Bridge causeway, replacement of the Courtney Campbell Causeway with a bridge or installation of a series of culverts.

W202 Old Tampa Bay Lake Tarpon Redirect Flow Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Minimum Flows and Levels Recovery Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status GARCIA, LIZANNE NORTON, NANCY Proposed Description Results of the Safety Harbor Sediment Assessment study (W317) indicate that organic-rich sediment accumulation is occurring at a higher rate in recent decades and is composed primarily of microscopic crustacean fecal matter (animal production within the Harbor). The likely cause of this enhanced production has been tied to nutrient enrichment primarily stemming from residential fertilizer use within the Lake Tarpon/Brooker Creek watershed. Historically, this area of northern Pinellas and northwest Hillsborough counties drained west to the Anclote River through a sinkhole in Lake Tarpon. However, this area now discharges through the Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal into upper Old Tampa Bay. Restoration opportunities include re-directing some flow and restoring hydrology to the Anclote River (possibly supplementing any needed MFL for the River). Restoring the historical flow, and therefore reducing the size of the contributing watershed to Old Tampa Bay, would reduce the nutrient loading to Old Tampa Bay. This project will evaluate the feasibility of redirecting the flow, the quantity of flow that could be diverted and methods to divert the flow. Benefits If feasible, implmentation of the project will determine the volume of water that can be discharged from Lake Tarpon through the historic sinkhole to the Anclote River. This would decrease nutrient loading to Old Tampa Bay and provide water for recovery of the minimum flow in the Anclote River. Costs The Pinellas-Anclote River and the Hillsborough River Basin Boards has each included $250,000 (50%) in their proposed FY2011 budgets. Following the feasibility analysis, additional funds may be needed for implementation of the project. Additional Information Tampa Bay is divided into seven major bay segments: Old Tampa Bay, Hillsborough Bay, Middle Tampa Bay, Lower Tampa Bay, Terra Ceia Bay, Manatee River and Boca Ciega Bay (map attached). In FY2007, the District budgeted $100,000 to partner with the Tampa Bay Estuary Program for the Old Tampa Bay/Safety Harbor Restoration Project (W317), for the purpose of evaluating the accumulation of muck in Safety Harbor and the surrounding area, to determine the source of the muck and to develop potential restoration plans for the Safety Harbor area of Old Tampa Bay. The major findings of W317 showed significant increases in sedimentation rates that began in the 1920's (concurrent with construction of the Causeway) and extended through the 1960's which may coincide with construction activities for the Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal.

Some of the recommendations from the project included restoring the natural hydrology of tidal tributaries to reduce flashy discharge events and maintaining connectivity between open bay waters, tidal rivers and smaller tidal tributaries to allow fish movement, water flow and nutrient flux. TBEP has received $20,000 from US Fish and Wildlife Service and has committed $40,000 of Estuary Program funds to identify tidal tributaries draining to Old Tampa Bay that could benefit from various restoration opportunities. The assessment will focus on the following management strategies: 1) Removal of salinity barriers to restore natural hydrology and encourage fish movement; 2) Water flow and nutrient flux; 3) Enhancing urban riparian buffers to improve hydrologic patterns and attenuate nutrients; and 4) Stormwater improvements in surrounding areas draining to tidal tributaries. District funds would be used to assess tidal tributaries in the Old Tampa Bay Watershed and to perform a pilot study on the removal of one or more salinity barriers. Costs The Pinellas-Anclote River and the Hillsborough River Basin Boards has each included $135,000 (50%) in their proposed FY2011 budgets. Additional funds may be needed for construction.

The funds in this project are reserves to fund one or more projects that address water quality and natural systems projects in Old Tampa Bay. The projects to be funded will be identified through several FY2011 projects described herein. In FY2011, the TBEP and District will launch a multi-year study to assess the root causes of water quality problems in Old Tampa Bay (W200) and develop site specific actions to improve its condition. The Old Tampa Bay Upper Bay Circulation model (W201) will build on circulation models used during the Feather Sound seagrass studies which suggested that flushing in this portion of Old Tampa Bay is poorer than in other areas and is also more "flashy" during high rainfall periods. The Circulation Model will be used to evaluate alternatives to improve water quality. The Old Tampa Bay Lake Tarpon Redirect Flow project (W202) will look at the potential to redirect flow from the Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal back through a historic sinkhole on the western side of the lake. The Old Tampa Bay Tidal Tributaries project (W203) will look at the possible removal of salinity barriers and other restoration opportunities to improve hydrology and habitat in these systems. More detailed descriptions of these projects may be found under the project write-ups for each project.

The project will treat the first flush of stormwater from a portion of Gulfport (Basin D as defined by the stormwater master plan) and St. Petersburg. The purpose is to divert the stormwater at 27th Avenue South and 49th Street through a 30-inch diameter pipe into a wet detention pond system. Two wet detention ponds will be constructed in series on the west side of the marina property which is owned by the City and will be connected with a pipe. Upstream of the wet detention pond, three baffle boxes will be installed as part of a treatment train to remove solids from the stormwater runoff. Benefits The water quality benefits of the 49th Street Stormwater Retrofit System include treatment of the first flush of runoff from an 210-acre urban drainage basin that currently provides little or no water quality treatment. Costs The total project cost is $2,043,590. The City of Gulfport received an EPA 319 grant in the amount of $800,000 and a $250,000 Pinellas County Environmental Funds grant leaving a remaining balance of $993,540 with the City of Gulfport and the District each contributing half ($496,770). The District share is split between the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board ($248,385) and the State SWIM ($248,385). District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Tampa Bay is the District's top priority Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program waterbody, is a category I (most in need of restoration) under the State's Unified Watershed Assessment and Watershed Restoration Priorities, and is considered an "estuary of national significance" with the designation of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. Since 1950, about 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline and 40 percent of its seagrass acreage were lost as a result of physical destruction and water quality impairment. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. The project is identified in the Tampa Bay SWIM Plan and is contained in the CCMP of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 41

The project addresses the City of Safety Harbor 's 2006 updated master drainage plan recommendations to improve stormwater quality and drainage. The project will provide water quality treatment for over 64 acres of mainly untreated stormwater runoff from residential and commercial areas. Pollutant loading and excessive ponding will be addressed by implementation of stormwater best management practices. These BMP's include creating dry detention areas parallel to Tampa Bay by reconstructing areas to create swales on both the east and west side of South Bayshore Boulevard. A portion of South Bayshore Boulevard will be re-graded to direct runoff to newly constructed swales. This treatment system will remove nutrients and solids before discharging into the Bay. The project includes installation of baffle boxes, skimmers, and construction of grassy swales. Benefits The project is anticipated to reduce pollutant loadings to Old Tampa Bay by 40 percent within this drainage basin. During construction, information signs will be strategically placed along South Bayshore Blvd. to educate the public as to how this project will help reduce pollutants entering the waters of the Bay and information will be included in the Safety Harbor newsletter that is mailed directly to each home. Costs The total project cost is estimated at $3,000,000, with the City of Safety Harbor DEP 319(h) grant funding $1,305,970 and the City of Safety Harbor and the District each contributing half of the balance ($847,015). District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Tampa Bay is the District's top priority Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program waterbody, is a category 1 (most in need of restoration) under the State's Unified Watershed Assessment and Watershed Restoration Priorities, and is considered an "estuary of national significance" with the designation of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program.

W242 Clam Bayou Stormwater Treatment and Habitat Restoration Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status HAGBERG, JANIE HENNINGSEN, BRANDT Ongoing Description The Clam Bayou Stormwater and Habitat Restoration project is a SWIM Program initiative. The District and the City of St. Petersburg entered into a cooperative agreement for implementation of stormwater and habitat restoration projects on District and City-owned land. The project lands are located in the municipal boundaries of St. Petersburg and Gulfport. The District and the City of Gulfport completed a 10-acre habitat restoration project at Gulfport's Osgood Point, located at the mouth of Clam Bayou, in 1995. An additional restoration project with St. Petersburg was completed in 2001. These earlier projects were completed under project number W326. The current project (referred to as Phase 3) encompasses approximately 120-acres owned by the City of St. Petersburg and the District. Once completed, this multi-phased effort will restore the majority of the bayou's ecosystem and treat stormwater draining from the surrounding watershed. Phase 3 is being managed by two SWIM staff: Janie Hagberg (stormwater) and Dr. Brandt Henningsen (habitat restoration). The Clam Bayou Stormwater and Habitat Restoration project is a multi-year restoration effort. Current, active projects are anticipated to be completed in 2009. The District is taking the lead on the design and construction of the stormwater improvement and restoration efforts while Gulfport and St. Petersburg are providing some of the land and are responsible for the post project operation and management and providing educational signage. The project components include: 1) design and construction of an 87 acre habitat restoration project on property purchased by the District and St. Petersburg; and 2) implementation of regional stormwater treatment projects. Benefits Significant fisheries and bird habitats will be restored/enhanced, particularly low salinity habitats critical as nursery grounds for many commercial and sportfishing species. In addition, water quality of the bayou should be measurably improved as well as removing large volumes of trash carried by stormwater to the estuary. Costs The total current project budget, including land acquisition by the City of St. Petersburg, is $10,479,378. The District's share of the current project budget totals $8,431,578 million, of which $1,000,000 million is funded by State Appropriation, $898,800 is funded by an EPA grant specifically for construction, and the remainder is split $3,052,631 from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board and $3,230,146 from State SWIM. 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 Florda Communities Trust Fund Grant, and $997,800 was funded by a US Environmental Protection Agency Grant. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. The project costs broken down by task include $2,047,800 for St. Petersburg land acquisition plus up to $1,100,000 ($1,000,000 from State Appropriation funds, $60,00 from State SWIM and $40,000 from the Basin Board) for pending land acquisition; $425,000 for design of two of the stormwater treatment systems and habitat restoration; an estimated $200,000 for design of the third stormwater project and $7,806,578 for construction of stormwater and habitat components. The City of St. Petersburg has been successful in purchasing project lands for the largest stormwater retrofit component, referred to as the central pond. Design of this project has been proceeding and based on recent construction estimates, additional funding is needed. As a result, the FY2010 budget totals $2,000,000. At their April 8, 2009 meeting, the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved amending its FY2009 budget to include reallocated State SWIM funds to cover 50 percent of the FY2010 costs ($1,000,000). The remaining funds ($1,000,000) are included in the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's FY2010 budget.

W265 St. Petersburg - Booker Lake Regional Stormwater Treatment Facility Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River City of St. Petersburg NORTON, NANCY Status Ongoing Description This FY2005 Surface Water Improvement and Management Section (SWIM) project originally came in as a cooperative funding request from St. Petersburg. Tampa Bay has been designated by the Southwest Florida Water Management District's SWIM Program as the number one priority water body in the southwest Florida Region.The project consists of the design and construction of a chemical treatment system using aluminum sulfate (alum) to treat stormwater inflows entering Booker Lake. Booker Lake is a freshwater lake with a surface area of approximately 12.2 acres located in St. Petersburg adjacent to I-275 and 9th Avenue North. The 1,143 acre contributing drainage basin to Booker Lake is predominately residential in nature, but includes a substantial commercial component. The injection of alum into the incoming stormwater will bind and settle solids, nitrogen compounds, phosphorus, heavy metals, and other pollutants. The net result will be an improvement in the quality of stormwater runoff which reaches downstream water bodies including Booker Creek, Bayboro Harbor and Tampa Bay. Given the size and composition (i.e., land uses) of the contributing drainage basin, the Booker Lake Regional Stormwater Treatment Facility will substantially reduce the amount of stormwater pollution currently being discharged to Tampa Bay. Benefits This project provides water quality and natural systems benefits through treatment of stormwater from 1,143 acre basin. Costs The total project budget is $1,256,000 of which the City is funding half or $628,000 and the District is funding $628,000. The District's share is split between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board ($251,200) and State SWIM ($376,800). District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Since 1950, approximately 50 percent of Tampa Bay's natural shoreline has been lost due to development and reduction in water quality. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. The SWIM Plan for Tampa Bay outlines goals to restore habitat throughout the bay area and reduce pollutant loads entering Tampa Bay.

W267 Long Bayou/Lake Seminole Bypass Canal Regional Stormwater Treatment Facility Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas Co. Department of Environmental Mgt. NORTON, NANCY Status Ongoing Description The project is in response to an original funding request from Pinellas County to improve water quality in Long Bayou and Lake Seminole, which are tributaries to Tampa Bay, a District SWIM Water Body. The project is listed as Construction Component 2 of the Lake Seminole Watershed Management Plan (LSWMP), September 2001. LSWMP Construction Component 1 is the subject of the Lake Seminole Stormwater Pollution Removal Project (P902). The Long Bayou/Lake Seminole watershed is located in Pinellas County and the City of Largo. The Lake Seminole Bypass Canal transports stormwater runoff from 8 square miles of the 11 square mile highly urbanized Long Bayou watershed. The canal also transports an estimated annual mass pollutant load of 1.3 tons phosphorus and 31.9 tons nitrogen to greater Tampa Bay. The objective of the project, as stated in the LSWMP, is to remove 1.2 ton of phosphorus and 16 tons of nitrogen from the current pollutant load transported by the Bypass Canal by chemically treating stormwater runoff and base flow in the canal with aluminum sulfate (alum). Treated flows will either be returned to the canal or pumped into Lake Seminole prior to discharging into Long Bayou. The project involves the construction of the alum treatment facility and a BMP evaluation of the constructed facility. The County, under the existing Lake Seminole Stormwater Pollution Reduction Project (P902) agreement, will provide all land required for the project and is responsible for design, permitting and construction management. Once constructed, the County will be responsible for long-term operation and maintenance of the project. The District is responsible for 100 percent of the construction cost as well as 100 percent of the equipment and laboratory costs associated with the BMP evaluation by the County up to the estimated construction budget of $1,085,000. The estimated 20-year operation and management (O&M) cost is $6,729,660. The FY2006 budget includes a $650,000 EPA Section 319(h) grant which is matched by $435,000 in State SWIM/Basin Board funds. In FY2009, Pinellas County requested additional funding to construct the project. The $670,000 in additional funding is split 50/50 between the County ($335,000) and the District ($335,000). Benefits This project is a major component of the overall Lake Seminole Restoration (P105) as detailed in the Lake Seminole Watershed Management Plan, September 2001.This implementation project provides water quality and natural systems benefits. Costs The project budget totals $1,755,000. District funding is split between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board ($385,000) and State SWIM fund ($385,000) with additional funding ($650,000) from a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 319 h grant and $335,000 from the County. District funds shown in the table and budgeted in FY2010 include staff salaries. Additional Information The District entered into a "Master Agreement" for Lake Seminole with Pinellas County on December 14, 1993 to fund a management plan and restoration alternatives based on the management plan. The District and County in conjunction with the Lake Seminole Technical Advisory Committee completed the "Lake Seminole Watershed Management Plan" (Plan) in September 2001. The Plan details the existing conditions of the Lake Seminole Watershed and the actions required to restore the lake and meet habitat and water quality goals. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 50

In May 2008, the County awarded construction to the lowest bidder as part of the Base Bid for Project P902. An amendment providing additional construction funding and revising milestones was executed January 21, 2009. ACTION-TO-DATE: Construction is about 85% complete. The County submitted a request to adjust the construction completion milestone to September 2010 after design changes resulted in construction delays. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 51
W271 Shore Acres Stormwater Vaults Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River City of St. Petersburg GARCIA, LIZANNE Status Proposed Description This proposed multi-year project is in response to a cooperative funding request from the City of St. Petersburg to design, permit and construct Water Quality and Flood Protection Vaults in the City's low lying Shore Acres area. The City has requested funds in FY2008, 2009, FY2010 and 2011 for this project. An additional request is expected for FY2012. Each funding request is for construction of additional vaults. The vaults will be installed in existing stormwater pipes just upstream of their outfall into the surrounding bayous, channels or Tampa Bay. Each vault will consist of two water quality elements and a flood protection element. The first water quality element is a sump at the inlet of the vault which will provide an area for heavy solids; sand, grit and other heavy debris to settle. The removal of trash, debris and heavy solids from the stormwater runoff will provide an improvement to the surrounding receiving water bodies and ultimately to Tampa Bay. The second water quality element is a screen for the capture and removal of trash and debris from the stormwater runoff. The third element of the vault will be a backflow valve. During a normal rain event, the backflow valve will remain open to allow the runoff to flow into the receiving water body. During either a high tide or a storm surge, the valve will close to prevent water from flowing backwards through the stormwater system and flooding the streets and surrounding homes. Benefits The project provides water quality benefits to the surrounding water bodies through stormwater treatment and will provide some protection from flooding. Costs The total proposed estimated project budget is $4,560,000 for design, permitting, and construction. To date, the total budgeted amount for FY2008, 2009 and 2010 is $1,960,000 with the City of St. Petersburg and the District each contributing half ($980,000). The District share was split between the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board ($490,000) and the State SWIM ($490,000). In FY2011, the City requested and the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board included an additional $600,000 in its proposed FY2011 budget. The City is proposing to match this request with $600,000 in its FY2011 budget. Based on the City's FY2011 Cooperative Application, the City intends to request an additional $700,000 for FY2012, taking the total project cost to $4,560,000. The additional funding requests are due to increased construction costs based on actual bids received. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Tampa Bay is the District's top priority Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program waterbody, is a category I (most in need of restoration) under the State's Unified Watershed Assessment and Watershed Restoration Priorities, and is considered an "estuary of national significance" with the designation of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. Since 1950, about 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline and 40 percent of its seagrass acreage were lost as a result of physical destruction and water quality impairment. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. The project is identified in the Tampa Bay SWIM Plan and is contained in the CCMP of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 52

Stormwater from this area is discharged into the wetland area west of Sawgrass Lake via a ditch through the Skyway Trap and Skeet Club property. This BMP includes the evaluation of an existing pond and other alternative water quality devices, such as baffle boxes, CDS units, treatment swales, and inlet traps with selection and implementation of the best alternative. Implementation of these water quality devices will allow for removal of solid pollutants and debris prior to the discharge of storm water into Sawgrass Lake. Benefits This project provides water quality and natural systems benefits through treatment of stormwater from a 96-acre basin. The project will improve level of service deficiencies by improving stormwater conveyance in the service area. The construction of the water quality device(s), swales and grate inlets will improve water quality in Sawgrass Lake and the City estimates the removal of approximately 98.9% of TSS, 91.9% of TP and 84.2% of TN currently flowing into Sawgrass Lake from the Homeland Basin. Costs The total estimated project budget is $3,550,000 for feasibility study, design, permitting, and construction. The FY2009 project cost of $350,000 is for design and permitting, with the City and the District each contributing half ($175,000). The District share is split between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board ($87,500) and State SWIM ($87,500). The FY2010 project cost for construction is $3,200,000. The City has requested half ($1,600,000) for FY2010 from the District and will contribute the other half ($1,600,000). At their April 8, 2009 meeting, the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved amending its FY2009 budget to include reallocated State SWIM funds to cover 50 percent of the District's FY2010 costs ($800,000). The remaining funds ($800,000) are included in the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's FY2010 budget. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries.

W278 Largo Regional Outfall Modification Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Pinellas-Anclote River City of Largo NORTON, NANCY Status Ongoing Description This project is in response to a cooperative funding request from the City of Largo to design, permit and construct a modified alum floc removal system at the Largo Regional Stormwater Treatment Facility, which was previously cooperatively funded by the District. The purpose of the City of Largo's Regional Stormwater Treatment Facility (LRSTF) is to reduce the level of pollutants in the drainage canal known as Channel No. 1. This project provides regional water quality benefits to a 1,159 acre drainage basin. The Starkey Road drainage flows to the Lake Seminole bypass canal and the reduction of pollutants from the (LRSTF) plays a key role in the planned restoration of Lake Seminole which is also cooperatively funded by the District and Pinellas County. The LRSTF utilizes liquid alum to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff. When alum is injected into the stormwater, floc traps pollutants that are suspended in the stormwater, and settles to the bottom of the settling pond. The settling pond incorporates a floc disposal system which is designed to periodically draw floc from the bottom of the pond and pump it to a nearby wastewater collection system manhole. Over the past five years of operating the LRSTF, Largo staff has determined that the alum floc removal system does not function effectively, resulting in an accumulation of excessive amounts of floc build-up on the bottom of the pond. Benefits The project provides water quality benefits to Boca Ciega Bay. In 1999, it was estimated that operation of the Largo Regional Alum Treatment Facility reduces total nitrogen by 7,680 pounds/year, total phosphorus by 1,691 pounds/year, and total suspended solids by 79,202 pounds/year. The reduction in total nitrogen equates to approximately 94% of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program's 1999 Pollutant Load Reduction Goal (PLRG) for annual loading to Boca Ciega Bay. Costs The FY2009 total project cost is estimated at $300,000, with the City of Largo and the District each contributing half ($150,000). The District share is split between the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board ($75,000) and the State SWIM funds ($75,000). District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Since 1950, approximately 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline has been lost due to development and reduction in water quality. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. The SWIM Plan for Tampa Bay outlines goals to restore habitat throughout the bay area and reduce pollutant loads entering Tampa Bay. The objectives of this project are consistent with these goals. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 56

The agreement was fully executed May 13, 2009 with the notice to proceed issued May 15, 2009. After completing some survey work in the facility settling pond, the City submitted a feasibility study recommending use of a dredge to remove alum floc from the pond. The City is providing in-house design services to make the outfall modifications. The City provided 30% design documents to the District for review on February 19, 2010. Preliminary cost estimates are higher than first estimated so the City is exploring avenues to decrease costs and to provide additional funding. ACTION TO DATE: The City submitted permit applications to SWFWMD on April 19, 2010, with 100% plans. The Plans are routing for final review and comments. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 57

The retrofit efforts will be located along the public right-of-way (ROW) of Highland Avenue between East Bay Drive and Belleair Road and on two parcels of City owned land, the Highland Recreation Complex and the City Hall Complex, which are located on the east and west sides of Highland Avenue respectively. The stormwater retrofit design will include an enhanced swale system that will provide initial linear treatment within the ROW. This system will connect downstream to a secondary wet retention system at the Highland Recreation and the City Hall complexes, which will be modified to provide additional wet retention. The stormwater treatment facility will remove nutrients in the runoff as well as providing some needed flood protection for the surrounding neighborhoods. The runoff from this area eventually discharges to Boca Ciega Bay by way of the Long Bayou/Lake Seminole Bypass Canal, where the District is currently cooperatively funding a stormwater treatment facility. Benefits The project provides water quality benefits through stormwater treatment to downstream waterbodies Boca Ciega Bay and Tampa Bay. Estimated removal efficiencies for the wet detention pond are 40-60% for nitrogen, 70% for phosphorus and 85% for suspended solids. The project will also provide some flood protection for the surrounding neighborhoods. Costs The total project cost is estimated to be $1,500,000. The FY2009 project cost is $130,000, with the City of Largo and the District each contributing half ($65,000). The District share is split between the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board ($32,500) and the State SWIM fund ($32,500). The FY2010 construction cost is $1,370,000, of which the City and District are each funding half ($685,000).

W280 Tropic Hills Drainage Improvements Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Emergency Flood Response Pinellas-Anclote River City of Clearwater NORTON, NANCY Status Ongoing Description This project is in response to a FY2009 cooperative funding request from the City of Clearwater to perform the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) elements of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for Coastal Watershed #2. This project is located downstream of Tropic Hills and other neighborhoods comprising an urban and commercial watershed of approximately 246 acres. The purpose of this project is to provide water quality treatment within the outfall channel, provide natural system improvements to the channel and provide properly sized stormwater conveyance. Currently, stormwater is conveyed in an existing network of open channels and storm pipe collection systems eastward through two 36-inch culverts under U.S. 19 and into an open channel discharging to Tampa Bay. This project consists of stabilizing eroding banks and a failing seawall, providing water quality treatment through a series of low water ditch blocks with littoral plantings and installing baffle boxes to treat stormwater runoff from adjacent commercial development increasing channel hydrologic capacity between U.S. 19 and Tampa Bay. The City of Clearwater hired a consultant to design and permit the project so construction can occur in late 2009. The City has identified additional phases to improve the stormwater management system. It is anticipated that the City will request cooperative funding to complete the future phases. Benefits The project provides water quality benefits to Tampa Bay through channel alterations that will provide stormwater treatment, reduce downstream erosion and improve habitat. Removal of exotic plant species along the project length will provide habitat benefits and implementing the BMP will also provide flood protection. Costs The FY2009 project cost for Phase I is $2,500,000, with the City of Clearwater and the District each contributing half ($1,250,000). The District share is split between the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board ($625,000) and the State SWIM fund ($625,000). District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Since 1950, approximately 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline has been lost due to development and reduction in water quality. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. The SWIM Plan for Tampa Bay outlines goals to restore habitat throughout the bay area and reduce pollutant loads entering Tampa Bay. The objectives of this project are consistent with these goals. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 60

W281 Downtown Drainage Ponds Modification Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Pinellas-Anclote River City of Largo PRESTON, MATT Status Ongoing Description This project is in response to a FY2009 cooperative funding request from the City of Largo to evaluate and implement alternatives to improve water quality treatment of the existing Downtown Drainage Ponds. The original Downtown Drainage Ponds project was cooperatively funded by the District and was completed in 1997. The ponds were designed to utilize wet detention with filtration for treating stormwater. Over the past decade, research has shown that underdrain filtration is not as effective for removing pollutants as originally estimated and operation and maintenance of these systems can be problematic due to excessive fouling of the filter media. The Downtown Drainage Ponds are providing water water quality treatment for a 281 acre highly urbanized drainage basin, which ultimately discharges to Tampa Bay, a SWIM priority water body. The Downtown Drainage Ponds are located south of West Bay Drive and west of Seminole Boulevard near the Bayhead Sports Complex. The ponds provide stormwater retention and treatment for West Bay Drive and the redevelopment district located between 1st Avenue NW, 1st Avenue SW, Clearwater-Largo Road and Seminole Boulevard. Benefits The project provides water quality benefits to Boca Ciega Bay. This project would improve water quality treatment of the existing system which receives stormwater from a highly urbanized 281 acre drainage basin. Costs The total estimated project budget is $600,000 for feasibility study, design, permitting, and construction. The current FY2009 project cost is $150,000, with the City of Largo and the District each contributing half ($75,000). The District share is split between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board ($37,500) and State SWIM ($37,500). The FY2009 funds will be used to evaluate and design alternatives to improve the existing treatment system. The FY2010 project cost for construction is $450,000, with the City contributing half ($225,000) and requesting half ($225,000) from the District. At their April 8, 2009 meeting, the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved amending its FY2009 budget to include reallocated State SWIM funds to cover 50 percent of the District's FY2010 costs ($112,500). The remaining funds ($112,500) are included in the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's FY2010 budget. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Tampa Bay is the District's top priority Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program waterbody, is a category I (most in need of restoration) under the State's Unified Watershed Assessment and Watershed Restoration Priorities, and is considered an "estuary of national significance" with the designation of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. Since 1950, about 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline and 40 percent of its seagrass acreage were lost as a result of physical destruction and water quality impairment. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 62

W284 Mullet Creek Water Quality Improvement Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Emergency Flood Response Pinellas-Anclote River Safety Harbor NORTON, NANCY Status Ongoing Description This project is in response to a FY2009 cooperative funding request by City of Safety Harbor to design, permit, acquire land, and construct best management practices (BMPs) to improve water quality within Mullet Creek. The BMPs are based on the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Mullet Creek Watershed. The watershed covers an area of approximately 1.0 square mile and is located in the City of Safety Harbor. The goal of this improvement is to stabilize Mullet Creek to prevent further erosion and improve water quality within the Lincoln Highlands subdivision and the Harbor Lake Industrial Park. The work will begin at Harbor Lake and extend downstream to the 9th Avenue crossing. The project will involve constructing channel improvements and implementing erosion control measures thereby stopping eroded sediment from migrating into the upper reaches of Tampa Bay. Originally the project was identified as N039. Benefits Construction of this project will minimize further erosion and sediment transport within the Mullet Creek watershed, and eventually into Tampa Bay. Since the development of land with the Mullet Creek watershed some 50 years ago the creek has shown signs of severe erosion and some flooding in areas. Costs The estimated total project cost is $1,000,000, of which the District's multi-year share is $500,000. The FY2009 design cost is $100,000, with the City of Safety Harbor and the District each contributing half ($50,000). For FY2010 the estimated cost for construction is $900,000 with the City of Safety Harbor and the District each contributing half ($450,000). District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies and one of the District's Strategic priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems while achieving flood protection. This project involves the Implementation of BMPs which include construction of the BMPs. is included for the design and development of construction documents. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the City will be developed for Implementation of BMPs. The City will manage the project where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. Drainage from the City's stormwater system and surface water runoff outfalls into Old Tampa Bay, a water body of significant regional importance. As one of the contributing surface water bodies, Mullet Creek is adversely affected by increased upstream runoff, sedimentation, erosion and washouts causing threatening conditions to structures in the area. The eroded sediment from the banks of the creek will eventually outfall to Tampa Bay and further add to the degradation of its water quality. Since the land was developed some 50 years ago Mullet Creek has shown signs of severe erosion and some flooding in areas. The project will involve construction of channel improvements and erosion control measures. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 64

The project addresses the City of Safety Harbor's 2006 updated master drainage plan recommendations to improve stormwater quality and drainage and complements a previously funded (FY2010) project along South Bayshore Boulevard (W239). The project will provide water quality treatment for over 61 acres of sub basins along North Bayshore Drive from Mullet Creek to the County's Phillippe Park. Pollutant loading and excessive ponding will be addressed by implementation of stormwater best management practices. These BMP's include creating dry detention areas or swales parallel to North Bayshore Boulevard and Tampa Bay, regrading portions of North Bayshore Boulevard to transport runoff to the swales and installation of baffle boxes. Benefits The project is anticipated to reduce pollutant loadings to Old Tampa Bay by 12 percent or over 4,000 pound of pollution each year. Costs The total project cost is estimated at $2,000,000. The FY2011 project cost is $1,000,000, with the City of Safety Harbor and the District each contributing half ($500,000). District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Since 1950, approximately 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline has been lost due to development and reduction in water quality.

This project provides funds for general support to SWIM habitat restoration efforts for Tampa Bay. Funds are provided for equipment rental, equipment repair/maintenance, advertising/public notices, parts and supplies, etc. Limited project construction expenses are also budgeted under this activity code. Additionally, this project includes funds for exotic plant maintenance at the habitat restoration sites. Lastly, funds for this project allow planning of future projects, and facilitate SWIM involvement with various environmental committees and task forces (e.g., various committees of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program, etc.) Benefits This project is important for meeting management goals of SWIM and the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP). Coordination and planning of existing and future projects is a critical component of long term success of both programs. If funds are not allocated, then SWIM's ability to successfully perform their habitat restoration projects for Tampa Bay will be compromised. Accordingly, the District will not be meeting its (and the TBEP's) goals to restore important habitats (and improve water quality) for the bay, habitats which have suffered great losses because of land development and other human uses of the resource. Costs The FY2011 costs are funded 25 percent from the Pinellas-Anclote River, 25 percent from the Manasota, 25 percent from the Hillsborough River, and 25 percent from the Alafia River Basin Boards. State SWIM funds will not be available during FY2011. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries, travel and central garage. Additional Information Tampa Bay is the District's top priority Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program waterbody, is a category I (most in need of restoration) under the State's Unified Watershed Assessment and Watershed Restoration Priorities, and is considered an "estuary of national significance" with the designation of the Tampa Bay (National) Estuary Program.

In addition, SWIM and Tampa Bay Watch have contacted the Guinness Book of World Records to explore the feasibility of organizing the largest volunteer planting event in the history of the world (tentative schedule: fall 2010). On March 19, 2010, the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, under the auspices of their 18th Annual Future of the Region Awards Program, recognized the Terra Ceia Ecosystem Restoration Project as the 2009 second place winner under the Environmental Category; the award was presented to SWIM-SWFWMD and the project's cooperator Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). SWIM staff coordinated with the Land Resources Department to execute the Saturday, March 27, 2010 District Volunteer Appreciation Day at Starkey Wilderness Park; SWIM recognized 616 volunteers distributed among 14 groups for their contributions to the restoration of the bay during nine 2009 volunteer events (note: 2009 SWIM volunteers donated 2696 hours of service, installing at least 29,630 marsh plants and picking up 20,200 pounds of illegally deposited debris at/from four SWIM restoration sites). During April, 2010, two volunteer marsh plantings were held: 1) on April 7, with Tampa Bay Watch and Bloomingdale High School students/faculty, over 140 volunteers installed 7000 marsh plugs at the Terra Ceia Ecosystem Restoration Project; 2) on April 21, with 24 Eisenhower Middle School students/faculty and 8 additional volunteers from the Clark Builders Group, Inc. the 32 volunteers installed 4000 marsh plugs also at Terra Ceia. On Saturday, April 17, SWIM and FDEP staff coordinated with Jean-Claude Guidi, Eagle Scout candidate (Boy Scouts of America), to perform his Eagle Project at an upland restoration phase of the Terra Ceia project; Jean-Claude's volunteer team of 19 collected 30 cubic yards of illegally disposed debris from restored upland sectors at Terra Ceia (inclusive of two boats, building materials, miscellaneous trash, and 10 cubic yards of tires). On April 23, 2010, Dr. Brandt Henningsen (with assistance from Jamie Swaindaz) provided an overview and tour of several Tampa Bay ecosystem restoration projects for various SWFWMD Governing and Basin Board members. Lastly, on April 26, 2010, Dr. Henningsen, Tom Ries (Ecosphere Restoration Institute), and Richard Sullivan (Hillsborough County Cockroach Bay Preserve Manager) conducted an overview and tour of several other Tampa Bay restoration projects for Dr. Jeanine Lessman and students for her Eckerd College Restoration Ecology class. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 68

The 651 acre property was purchased in 1991 for $2.1 million by the County's Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program (ELAPP), purchase, in part, contingent upon the District (SWIM) assuming primary responsibility for wetland restoration of the tract; of the 651 acres, approximately 500 acres are the primary target for restoration, with enhancement appropriate for the remaining 151. Since 1991, the project has evolved into a much larger ecosystem project, encompassing a mosaic of habitats typically found in coastal areas of the bay: uplands as well as freshwater and estuarine wetlands; stormwater treatment of regional agricultural runoff is also a component of the restoration. While the County is the primary cooperator for this project, the effort also involves 15 other cooperators, collectively known as the "Cockroach Bay Restoration Alliance" (COBRA). Over the past six decades, the property had been used for agriculture and mining activities. It has suffered from a number of environmental problems including wetland and upland habitat loss/degradation, exotic plant infestation, adverse hydrological alterations, and exposure to polluted runoff from an upstream agricultural watershed. Currently, 425 acres of the 500 acre project have been completed. Benefits This project has been and will continue to be important in meeting management goals of SWIM and the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP), including several phases providing low salinity habitats and improvements to water quality via stormwater treatment. Improved habitat values and the addition of habitat acreages will provide opportunities for many differing species of coastal wildlife,inclusive of commercial and sportfishing species, bird populations, a host of invertebrate species (crabs, shrimp, oysters, etc.), reptiles/amphibians, and small mammals. In addition, the site is part of the State's and County's Cockroach Bay Aquatic and Park Preserves, (increasingly) popular destinations for the public to visit for nature activities (canoeing/kayaking, fishing, bird watching, camping, hiking, etc.). Costs While early funding for this project originated as early as 1991, figures given here represent funds encumbered under the 1996 cooperative agreement with the County. This project has been implemented by phases, contingent upon available funds. Project updates given here cover four ongoing phases: Phases C (southeastern Leisey Shell Pit and braided tidal creek), D (northeastern Leisey Shell Pit), E (uplands), F (freshwater wetlands). Grants for this project have totaled $1.6 million. Aside from grants, mitigation funds from the FDOT have been used to help complete the project. The FY2005 budget includes $500,000 for State Appropriation and approximately $420,000 of Basin and State SWIM funds for construction of on-going phases. The FY2004 through FY2009 budgets included a total of $257,781 of incoming revenue from the Gardinier Trust Fund; in addition, FY2006 and FY2007 included a total of $200,000 of Basin and State SWIM funds. During FY2009, an additional $1,000,000 of incoming revenue was awarded to the project from the Tampa Port Authority. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries, travel and central garage. Additional Information Tampa Bay is the District's top priority Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program waterbody, is a category I (most in need of restoration) under the State's Unified Watershed Assessment and Watershed Restoration Priorities, and is considered an "estuary of national significance" with the designation of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. Since 1950, about 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline and 40 percent of its seagrass acreage were lost as a result of physical destruction and water quality impairment. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. Adjacent to the County's property lies Cockroach Bay, often touted as the "Crown Jewel" of Tampa Bay; it is one of the few relatively pristine coastal ecosystems left in Tampa Bay. Despite these adverse watershed and estuarine impacts, Cockroach Bay still maintains relatively abundant sea grass beds and recreational and commercially important fisheries resources. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 69

Leisey Shell Pit project 3/31/10 Status As Of: April 30, 2010 As previously described, the Tampa Port Authority (TPA) and the District (SWIM) have entered into a cooperative agreement detailing the TPA's proposal to Hillsborough County to perform mitigation and restoration at the County's Cockroach site ("Leisey Shell Pits" area). The TPA has received permission from the County to perform 10.88 ac of wetland mitigation at the Cockroach site. In return for use of the Cockroach site for the Port's mitigation, the TPA will provide $1.1 million for the restoration of up to 75 acres of wetlands and the completion/maintenance of the upland systems (i.e., 75 acres of wetland restoration for 10.88 acres of wetland mitigation plus remaining upland work); of those funds, $1.0 million will be earmarked for wetland (and possibly upland) restoration, and $100,000 will specifically be earmarked for upland restoration and site management. The TPA will be responsible for the design, permitting, bidding, construction, and monitoring of the project. In essence, this effort should complete the overall Cockroach Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project. No SWIM/District funds will be used for any mitigation expenses, only restoration components over 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 70
W316 Cockroach Bay (Phases C-D-E-F) and above mitigation aspects. Project design has been finalized and permit applications submitted for processing. Permits have been received from all agencies excepting the Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission (HCEPC); environmental concerns raised by the HCEPC currently are still being addressed by the TPA and their consultant. Due to conflicts with HCEPC, there is the possibility that the project will not be executed at the Cockroach Bay site. During May, 2010, TPA intends to meet with the Director of the HCEPC to discuss options. If HCEPC permits are issued, construction bids could be released by the TPA during spring/summer 2010, followed by construction. Lastly, a no-cost time extension was executed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and HCEPC to allow grant funds from the Gardinier Trust Fund, possibly now not needed for the north side of the Cockroach Bay system, to be used for habitat restoration on the south side of Cockroach Bay proper (i.e., "Rock Ponds" property). ACTION TO DATE: On-time but now possibly delayed due to permitting issues; Tampa Port Authority atttempting to secure final permits and then proceeding to prepare their construction RFB but permitting delays may influence the timeline. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 71

Department of Environmental Mgt. POWERS, STEPHANIE Status Ongoing Description This multi-year, phased project is in response to a cooperative funding request from Pinellas County and the City of Oldsmar to design, permit, and restore habitat and water quality within the Mobbly Bay Wilderness Preserve. The Preserve, jointly owned by Pinellas County and the City of Oldsmar, is an approximately 380-acre site located within the municipality of Oldsmar in Upper Tampa Bay. The first phase of the project will include design and permitting and the removal of exotic plant species. The County and City share management responsibilities of the Preserve through an Interlocal Agreement dated April 8, 2001. The proposed scope of the restoration plan encompasses both County and City managed areas and will be accomplished using a "habitat mosaic" ecosystem restoration approach. The County will administer the consultant agreements during the design phase of the project. Construction will occur in separate successive phases, which will also be administered by the County. Benefits The project focuses on developing and implementing a final design that will improve habitat function and stormwater polishing by removing exotic plant species and creating and enhancing intertidal, saltern, and upland habitats. The design also involves the restoration of historic circulation patterns through selective mosquito ditch blocking. Costs The total project cost is approximately $2.25 million. The County and City contributed $1,023,327 and $282,703 respectively to the purchase of the land for the project. The County requested multi-year funding from the District totaling $350,000 for design and construction. The District's contribution is split between the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board and State SWIM. The District's FDOT Mitigation Program will now be receiving mitigation credits from the project and the District will be reimbursed 100 percent of expended funds. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Since 1950, approximately 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline has been lost due to development and reduction in water quality. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. The SWIM Plan for Tampa Bay outlines goals to restore habitat throughout the bay area and reduce pollutant loads entering Tampa Bay. The objectives of this project are consistent with these goals. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 72

W331 Biennial Seagrass Mapping of Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay, Charlotte Harbor Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Monitoring Natural Systems Identification and Monitoring Alafia River, Hillsborough River, Northwest Hillsborough, Pinellas-Anclote River, Peace River, Manasota Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program, Pinellas County, Sarasota Bay Estuary Program, Tampa Bay Estuary Program KAUFMAN, KRIS Status Ongoing Description This SWIM initiative project involves mapping and monitoring seagrass within four SWIM priority waterbodies: Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay, Lemon Bay, and Charlotte Harbor. Funds requested in the FY2011 budget of $175,000 will be for the 2012 phase of mapping. It is anticipated that the funds needed for the 2012 effort will be budgeted in FY2011 and FY2012. In addition to SWIM waterbodies, contractual services for the St. Joseph Sound/Clearwater Harbor Biennial GIS Mapping of Seagrass (See K150) are completed under a single agreement to benefit from economy of scale. Specifically, the District's consultant will provide digital aerial photography, photointerpretation, and GIS-based mapping in order to generate calculations of seagrass acreage and distribution within each of the named waterbodies. The project is conducted every two years to monitor the long-term health of these vital resources. Funds budgeted in FY2009 and FY2010 are for the 2009-2010 effort. The digital format utilized in 2004 and 2006 allowed for more detailed GIS analysis to be conducted beyond creation of the original seagrass map product and will allow for efficient transfer of the imagery to fill agency and public requests. A new task started during the 2007-2008 effort was to scan historical photography from previous seagrass mapping efforts in the 1990s and early 2000s at high resolution. The intent is to continue this effort in 2010 and complete the georeferencing needed to and create digital GIS imagery layers that will then be uploaded to the District's GIS system. SWIM is utilizing a pre-qualified firm procured under the Mapping & GIS Section's RFP 006-07 as the consultant for the 2009-2010 phase of mapping. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Benefits The mapping of seagrasses within each estuary allows the District, the Estuary Programs, and other entities to monitor the health and distribution of seagrasses. Seagrass health is used as an indicator of water quality conditions. Thus, this project can assist with water resource management decision making, specifically in evaluating the effectiveness of water quality improvement projects. Costs The project costs for mapping SWIM waterbodies in 2012 is estimated at $350,000. The FY2011 proposed funding is $175,000 with five basin boards contributing equally. The current project costs for mapping SWIM waterbodies in 2009-2010 is $350,000. Costs associated with this effort are included in the FY2009 and FY2010 budgets. The FY2009 budget was $175,000, with 50 percent from State SWIM and 50 percent from five basin boards (Alafia River, Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River, Manasota, and Peace River). The FY2010 cost is $175,000. At their April 2009 meetings, the basin boards approved amending their FY2009 budgets to include reallocated State SWIM funds to cover 50 percent of the District's proposed FY2010 costs ($87,500). The remaining funds ($87,500) are included in the five basin boards FY2010 budgets. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The next phase of mapping will begin in December 2009. Seagrass mapping for SWIM waterbodies (W331) and St. Joseph Sound Clearwater Harbor (K150) will be completed under one agreement at a total estimated cost of $350,000. Seagrass meadows serve as nurseries for a variety of commercially and recreational important species of fin fish and shellfish, and they are highly dependent upon the maintenance of good water quality. The project meets the goals and objectives of the Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay, and Charlotte Harbor SWIM Plans, the Tampa Bay Estuary Program, Sarasota Bay Estuary Program, and Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program. The 2008 effort is ongoing, with the most recent completed mapping results from 2006. Between 2004 and 2006, seagrass coverage in Tampa Bay increased by approximately 4.7%. In Sarasota Bay, which has a more highly urbanized watershed than Tampa Bay, seagrass increased 7% in coverage from 2004 to 2006. From 2004 to 2006, Charlotte Harbor seagrass coverage increased by 1%. The only SWIM waterbody to experience a loss in coverage between 2004 and 2006 was Lemon Bay with a 1% decrease. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 74

W334 Largo Habitat Restoration Project Type SWIM AORs Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River City of Largo NORTON, NANCY Status Ongoing Description This project is in response to a FY2010 cooperative funding request by the City of Largo to restore and improve a City owned forested wetland located between the Largo Public Library and the Largo Central Park Nature Preserve. The 20.04 acre wetland site is north of a previous project and drains to Channel 1, which flows to the Seminole Bypass Canal and finally Boca Ciega Bay. The project includes removal of exotic invasive plant species and replacement with native wetland species within the project site. The top three exotic species targeted for removal are Tarro, Air Potato Vine, and Caster Bean. The project scope includes the identification of appropriate replacement native plants. Exact plant types will be determined based on a variety of factors including current weather conditions/patterns and best chance of survival. With an increase in native plant species biodiversity, an increase in associated native animal and insect species will occur. There will be water quality benefits as the re-established natural system more effectively filters and purifies flow. Benefits The City of Largo Habitat Restoration project will restore natural systems by removing exotic invasive species and re-establishing native wetland species in a 20 acre forested wetland and improve water quality to Boca Ciega Bay and Tampa Bay. Costs The FY2010 total project cost is estimated at $70,000, with the City of Largo and the District each contributing half ($35,000). District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Since 1950, approximately 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline has been lost due to development and reduction in water quality. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals.

W335 Feather Sound Tidal Wetland Restoration Project Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Tampa Bay Estuary Program POWERS, STEPHANIE THORNTON, SHELLEY Proposed Description This project is in response to a request from the Tampa Bay Esturary Program to restore and enhance approximately 640 acres of intertidal wetland and upland habitat along the west side of Old Tampa Bay. The project plan objectives are to improve the quality of runoff from the surrounding urban and residential watershed and to restore the fringing tidal wetland system. The Estuary Program has initiated discussions with the Feather Sound Golf Course to create an enhancement plan for the treatment of reclaimed water and stormwater that enters the site from a City of Largo outfall. The course owner has removed nearly 5 acres of turf from the course and has replaced it with native Florida plant species. Additional connections and the creation of littoral shelves within the course's water features, along with a more aggressive turf removal plan would decrease nitrogen input from fertilizers and create extended residence times for water quality treatment, allowing for significant nutrient removal prior to discharge into Old Tampa Bay. The Estuary Program will be the lead agency for the design phase of the project. The District will provide technical assistance for the design phase and will be the lead agency during project construction. A public-private agreement may be drafted with the Estuary Program, the District, and the golf course in FY2011 to enable implementation of these nutrient reduction strategies. Benefits This project aims to restore tidal wetland habitats, enhancing habitat for fish species, improving water quality entering Tampa Bay and, ultimately, increasing seagrass acreage in western Old Tampa Bay. Costs The proposed project cost is approximately $1 million. The Estuary Program has budgeted $216,000 for design and monitoring and $300,000 for project construction. The District's FY2011 contribution is requested to be $516,000, which will be used for construction of the project. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Since 1950, approximately 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline has been lost due to development and reduction in water quality.

DeSoto Ecological Enhancement/Recirculation Phase 2 Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County PRESTON, MATT Status Ongoing Description In response to a cooperative funding request from Pinellas County, this proposed project will include the construction of a span bridge to open a portion of the filled causeway that connects the maintenance area to the main island at Fort DeSoto Park in Pinellas County. Fort DeSoto Park was once a group of separate islands. During the Park's development in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the main island was connected to the smaller islands by dredging and filling two causeways, one to provide access to the mainland and the other to create a maintenance area and Park Manager residence. This activity cut off circulation between the back bays. Lack of tidal flushing led to elevated water temperatures, water quality degradation and seagrass mortality. Summertime temperatures become extremely elevated in these areas leading to very low dissolved oxygen levels as well as severe seagrass stress resulting in blade necrosis. Opening the causeway will restore east-west circulation to the semi-enclosed embayments and will improve ecosystem health. Benefits Restored circulation patterns will lead to improvement in water quality and a healthier seagrass and faunal community. The improved health and viability of seagrasses result in continued seasonal uptake of nutrients and sediment trapping. The first phase of this project was completed in 2004 at the main entrance to the park. That first causeway replacement resulted in immediate tidal flushing of the bays at that entrance causeway. Project results of Phase I also include the establishment of an additional 200 acres of seagrass beds in the vicinity of the project. Additionally, higher quality seagrass was established as long-lived Thalassia out competed the more ephemeral Halodule. The first phase of this long-term project received national awards and recognition for the ecological benefits resulting from the work. This second phase is expected to duplicate and expand the environmental benefits to Tampa Bay, a SWIM water body. Costs The total estimated proposed project budget is $1,000,000 for design, permitting, and construction. For FY2010, Pinellas County is requesting half ($500,000) from the District and will contribute the other half ($500,000). It is anticipated that the District's portion would be funded by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin. If State SWIM funds are available, they will be applied to the District's contribution. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Tampa Bay is the District's top priority Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program waterbody, is a category I (most in need of restoration) under the State's Unified Watershed Assessment and Watershed Restoration Priorities, and is considered an "estuary of national significance" with the designation of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. Since 1950, about 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline and 40 percent of its seagrass acreage were lost as a result of physical destruction and water quality impairment. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. The SWIM Plan for Tampa Bay outlines goals to restore habitat throughout the bay area and reduce pollutant loads entering Tampa Bay. The objectives of this project are consistent with these goals. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 81

W390 Joes Creek Storm Treat. & Wetlands Rest. Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Pinellas County PRATER, CORRINA PRESTON, MATT Ongoing Description The objective of the project is to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) to restore natural systems and improve water quality to Joe's Creek, which discharges into Tampa Bay, a SWIM priority water body. Pinellas County will be taking the lead in design, construction and maintenance of the project to: (1) provide stormwater treatment for runoff from the surrounding urbanized area, (2) construct a low impact design/demonstration parking project (including interpretive signage), (3) erect educational signage, (4) remove exotic vegetation from wetlands, and (5) stabilize eroded creek banks and restore wetlands on site. Fencing will also be installed to further protect the creek from litter and debris. Phase I: This first phase of the project includes restoration of wetland habitat, stormwater treatment for runoff entering Joe's Creek, and enhancement of the environmental and recreational value of the Joe's Creek Community Greenway site. The project consists of construction of a fence, parking area and a paved recreational trail around Joe's Creek, educational and interpretive signage, exotic vegetation removal, native planting, design and stabilization of a portion of the creek banks. Phase II will include more design and stabilization of eroded creek banks which currently allows continual addition of silt and sediment into the creek, thereby negatively impacting water quality and creating areas for invasive plant infestation. Appropriate BMPs will be used to repair existing erosion and prevent further erosion and siltation into the creek. Invasive exotic plants will be removed and native plants will be installed along the creek bank to stabilize the bank and filter any runoff pollutants prior to entry into the creek. Benefits Upon completion, the total acreage of restored, enhanced and preserved habitat would be approximately 10 acres in Phase I and approximately 11.5 acres in Phase II. Water quality to Joe's Creek and Tampa Bay will be improved through bank stabilization and revegetation. Additionally, the Joe's Creek Greenway Park is now available for recreation, and the Pinellas County School System will have access to the area for education on the environment and the promotion of environmental stewardship. Costs Phase I: Total cost for phase I was $590,000 with the County and the District each contributing half ($295,000). The District's share was split between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board ($118,000-40 percent) and State SWIM ($177,000-60 percent). Phase II: Total cost for phase II, which was funded in FY2007, is $425,000 with the County and the District each contributing half ($212,500). The District's share is split between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board ($106,250) and State SWIM ($106,250). The costs in the funding table include District staff salaries, travel, and central garage charges. Additional Information The project site is located in Central Lealman, an unincorporated community comprised of 7,854 residents (2000 Census). The project is consistent with Pinellas County's management objectives for the property, the District's SWIM Plan for Tampa Bay and the habitat restoration goals of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. The project includes design and construction of stormwater treatment for runoff entering Joe's Creek (best management practice (BMP) system; the restoration of upland and wetland habitats in and around the BMP; the removal of exotic vegetation and, the design construction and installation of educational signage on the benefits of the project. When it is finalized it will provide the County with a larger contiguous portion of land which will benefit the project by providing additional land with which to stabilize a severely eroding creek shoreline and allow installation of bioretention treatment swales. The Pinellas County School System will also have access to the area for environmental education. Estimated attendance for first year of operation is 47,800 visitors. The project is consistent with the County's management objectives for the property is consistent with the Tampa Bay SWIM Plan and the Tampa Bay Estuary Program's habitat restoration goals. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 83

W391 Pinellas County Eagle Lake Park Stormwater Treatment and Wetland Restoration Project Type SWIM AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County POWERS, STEPHANIE Status Ongoing Description This multi-phased project is in response to a funding request from Pinellas County to design, permit, and construct a wetland habitat restoration and stormwater treatment facility at Eagle Lake Park. Eagle Lake Park, located in central Pinellas County, is a 157-acre park that is owned and managed by the Pinellas County Park Department. The project site is a considerably large parcel in the critical Allen's Creek Watershed. Untreated stormwater flows enter the park from over 100 acres of urban land. The current flow pattern provides some degree of treatment, but the water exiting the park remains high in undesirable constituents due to the lack of adequate treatment facilities in the Park. Pinellas County is taking the lead in design, permitting, and construction and is responsible for the long term maintenance of the project. The District is providing consultant proposal and interim design reviews. Benefits This project is a combined stormwater treatment and habitat restoration project, which will provide for the treatment of the upper portion of the Allen's Creek watershed and has the potential of providing significant non-point source pollution load reduction to Allen's Creek and ultimately, Tampa Bay. Costs The total project cost is $1.5 million, with the County and the District each contributing 50 percent of the necessary funding. In FY2005, the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board funded 40% of the District's share ($224,000) and the remaining 60% ($336,000) came from State SWIM funds. District funds for FY2006 and FY2007 were split 50/50 between the Basin Board and State SWIM with each contributing $100,875. District funds are being used to complete the design, permitting, and construction of a restoration and stormwater treatment plan for the park. The County will independently fund other park facilities that are not related to the improvement in water management functions. Funds budgeted in FY2010 are for salary, travel and central garage. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Since 1950, approximately 50 percent of the bay's natural shoreline has been lost due to development and reduction in water quality. This resulted in a decline in the aesthetic, recreational, and commercial value of the bay, as well as a loss of habitat for native plants and animals. The SWIM Plan for Tampa Bay outlines goals to restore habitat throughout the bay area and reduce pollutant loads entering Tampa Bay. The objectives of this project are consistent with these goals. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 86

Department of Environmental Mgt. GARCIA, LIZANNE Status Ongoing Description This project provides for the administration and implementation of projects as outlined in the SWIM Plan for Lake Tarpon. Administration and implementation includes assessment of implementation progress, a review and refinement of the Pollutant Load Reduction Goal for the waterbody, periodic SWIM Advisory Committee meetings, new project development (rationale and justification), development of relevant contracts and Requests for Proposals, invoicing project related presentations, field visits and miscellaneous duties as they arise. Benefits This project's support of the Lake Tarpon SWIM Plan creates an opportunity for a cohesive effort between the District, Pinellas County and other state and local agencies to better implement resource management activities. SWIM projects are eligible for state matching funds with the state funding 50 percent of the project costs and the District funding the remaining 50 percent. Costs The FY2009 and FY2010 ongoing costs for the Lake Tarpon SWIM Plan Implementation were funded 50 percent from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basing Board and 50 percent from the State SWIM Program and include staff salary, travel and central garage. In FY2011, ongoing costs for the Lake Tarpon SWIM Implementation will be funded 100 percent from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin. There are no State SWIM Program funds available in FY2011. Additional Information In 1987, the Florida Legislature established the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Act having recognized that water quality and habitat in surface waters throughout the state had been or were in danger of being degraded. The Act requires the five water management districts to maintain a priority list of water bodies of regional or statewide significance within their boundaries, and develop plans and programs for the improvement of these waterbodies. To date, ten SWIM water bodies in the District have had plans developed and approved by the state. Several plans have been updated one or more times as required by the Act. The Lake Tarpon SWIM Plan was first approved in 1989 and updated in 1994 and 2001. Since the first plan, the District has completed a number of diagnostic and restoration projects. Included within these are: 1) development of a pollutant loading model; 2) investigation of a resource based pollutant load reduction goal; 3) evaluation of sediment quality; 4) vegetation mapping; 5) refinement of groundwater pollutant loading estimates; 6) fisheries monitoring and; various habitat restoration projects. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 88

District staff are working with local governments to implement the projects included in the 2001 SWIM Plan. The County submitted three cooperative funding proposals in FY2007 to implement water quality treatment projects that were identified in the 2001 Plan. These projects were moved into the SWIM budget and project updates can be found under W734, W735 and W736. The next update for the SWIM Plan will not occur until after these projects are complete, which is expected in 2010. This is the last update until these projects are completed. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 89

Department of Environmental Mgt. GARCIA, LIZANNE NORTON, NANCY Ongoing Description This original concept for this stormwater treatment retrofit project included the design, permitting and construction of an enhanced stormwater treatment pond using alum. However, the site proposed for the pond contains an active sinkhole and is not suitable for construction of a pond. The County is evaluating alternative alum treatment configurations, including direct discharge of alum floc to Lake Tarpon. Originally, the project was to treat stormwater discharge from a 570-acre basin consisting of primarily single family residential and agricultural land use. The project site is located near the intersection of Old East Lake Road and Lake Place on the northeastern side of Lake Tarpon. The project was proposed to be constructed on land owned by the County. The County is responsible for long-term operation and maintenance of the treatment pond and alum system. Benefits The project has the potential to remove 112 pounds/year of total phosphorus and 336 pounds/year of total nitrogen. Costs The total cost for design and construction is estimated at $1,519,625, with the District contributing $434,625 towards design and construction. The District budgeted $192,500 in FY2007 and FY2008 which the County matched with County and grant funding. During the FY2010 cooperative funding cycle, the County requested an additional $242,125 to complete construction of the project. The County is matching this request with the cost to purchase additional land to construct the project. At their April 8, 2009 meeting, the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved amending its FY2009 budget to include reallocated State SWIM funds to cover 50 percent of the District's FY2010 costs ($121,062.50). The remaining funds ($121,062.50) were included in the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's FY2010 budget. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information Lake Tarpon is the seventh ranked water body on the District's list of SWIM Priority Water Bodies. The original SWIM Plan was completed in 1989 and revised in 1994. Subsequently, Pinellas County initiated the Lake Tarpon Watershed Management Plan Study, which was completed and approved by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners in July 1999. The District updated the Lake Tarpon SWIM Plan in 2001 to focus on the issues and goals identified in the Lake Tarpon Watershed Management Plan that are consistent with District Areas of Responsibility. This project is consistent with the Lake Tarpon SWIM Plan 2001. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 90

Cooperative Agreement Expiration Date Contract Expiration 12/31/10 6/30/11 Status As Of: April 06, 2010 The County's consultant delivered the 30% design and it was reviewed by District and County staff. The 30% design proposed a larger treatment pond to improve the efficiency of future operation and maintenance for the alum system. This resulted in the need for additional land and the County began pursuing acquisition of an adjacent parcel. The County requested additional funds in FY2010 for construction of project. The revised project budget is $1,519,625, with the District's share being $434,625. Subsequently, the County requested an amendment to the completion schedule for the project due to the delays in acquisition of the adjacent parcel. An amendment to extend the expiration date of the contract, revise the completion schedule and include the additional funding was sent to the County for execution in June 2009. Prior to the County closing on the adjacent parcel a geotechnical investigation was conducted on the site. This investigation revealed a high risk of sinkhole activity if the pond were to be excavated, therefore, the County decided not to purchase the site. District staff met with the County on December 11, 2009 to determine the County's plan to proceed. The County is exploring a design that would mix alum in-line with underground pipes and discharge the treated water and alum floc directly to Lake Tarpon. This will require the purchase of an easement through a lake front lot and a permit from FDEP for direct discharge of alum to waters of the state. This would be similar to a system previously permitted by FDEP on Lake Seminole. It is the District project manager's understanding that the FDEP is not in favor of such systems until data is received from the Lake Seminole project. Construction of the Lake Seminole system is not expected until fall 2010 and monitoring won't likely be completed until mid-2011. The current draft of the Statewide Stormwater Rule would 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 91
W734 Lake Tarpon Area Water Quality 63 allow direct discharge of alum floc to waters of the state under certain conditions. It is not known when this rule will be adopted. The District has asked the County for return of the amendment and a request on how they plan to proceed. District staff met with the County again in March 2010 to discuss the status of the project. The County is still working on acquiring easements in this area, however, the property owner has not responded. It was mutually decided at that meeting that if the County had not made any progress on acquiring the necessary easements by June 2010, they would withdraw this project. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 92

This project will treat stormwater for a 212-acre basin of primarily single family residential land use. The project site is located near the intersection of South Canal Drive and Shultz Road on the western side of the lake. The project was orignally proposed to be constructed on existing County right of way. However, due to site constraints, the County is evaluating alternatives which may include direct discharge of alum floc to the Lake. The County is responsible for long-term operation and maintenance of the treatment pond and alum system. Benefits The project is estimated to remove 267 pounds/year of total phosphorus and 579 pound/year of total nitrogen. Costs The total cost for design and construction is estimated at $560,000 and the District is responsible for $207,500 towards design and construction. The County has secured additional grant funding to complete the project. The District's FY2007 budget included $155,000. The FY2008 budget is $205,000. The County's total share of $352,500 is split between the County ($152,500) and a State TMDL Grant ($200,000). The District's FY2008 share ($52,500) is split between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board (50%, $26,250) and State SWIM (50%, $26,250) funds.

Cooperative Agreement Expiration Date Contract Expiration 12/31/10 Status As Of: April 06, 2010 This project has experienced several delays during preliminary design. Subsequently, based on modeling and review of existing data, the consultant determined that the original conceptual design was not feasible due to the available land. (The site is located in a residential neighborhood, and originally, it was thought that the alum floc could be captured in a vault system.) The County and its consultant prepared a 30% design that proposed two options for using an existing residential canal on Lake Tarpon to capture the floc. This design would be similar to a design being utilized in Lake Seminole (P902). The County and its consultant are prepared to hold a permitting pre-application meeting with the appropriate agency after the release by FDEP of the new guidelines for the permitting of alum treatment systems. This draft rule/guideline was provided to FDEP in April 2009 and will be included in the 2010 revised stormwater regulations. The County's consultant has advised them that since the document is now public record and will be part of the new rule the COunty could move forward with design. However, the County is looking at potential access points to the lake which would need to be acquired. The District provided comments on the original 30% design but a revised design has not been reviewed. Although the County and its consultant are prepared to move forward with preliminary design, they will not complete design of the project by the date specified in the agreement. The County requested an extension to the internal deadline for completion of design and the District staff approved this extension which is included in the milestones section. It was noted that given the uncertainties with permitting this project, an amendment may be necessary to extend the project completion date to allow for completion of construction. District staff met with the County in March 2010 to discuss the status of the project. The County is still working on acquiring easements in this area, however. It was mutually decided at that meeting that if the County had not made any progress on acquiring the necessary easements by June 2010, they would withdraw this project. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 94

Department of Environmental Mgt. GARCIA, LIZANNE NORTON, NANCY Ongoing Description This stormwater treatment retrofit project consists of the design, permitting and construction of an enhanced stormwater treatment system using alum to enhance the treatment of stormwater from a 360-acre subbasin. This project proposed to increase the nutrient removal efficiency of an existing Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) stormwater treatment pond by installing an alum injection system. The approximately 3-acre pond was originally constructed to treat stormwater runoff from a section of US 19. An existing 72-inch pipe conveying untreated stormwater from the commercial, residential and light industrial areas north and west of this area was rerouted into the system to provide minimal stormwater treatment before release into an adjacent wetland. The property is owned by the FDOT and the County has entered into an agreement with FDOT to construct and maintain the alum treatment system. The County will be responsible for long-term operation and maintenance of the alum facility. The FDOT will continue to be responsible for mowing and maintenance of the pond and the discharge structures into and out of the pond. Benefits The project has the potential to remove 333 pounds/year of total phosphorus and 1246 pounds/year of total nitrogen. Costs The total cost for design and construction was originally estimated at $487,000 and the District was responsible for $120,000 towards design and construction. The District's share is split between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board (50%, $60,000) and State SWIM (50%, $60,000) funds. The County secured additional grant funding to complete the project. In November 2007, the County's consultant completed an Engineer's Estimate of Probable cost for construction of the project which was approximately $705,000. This exceeds the original amount of $367,000 estimated by the County for construction. Part of this increase was the result of FDOT requirements for the box culvert. The County submitted a cooperative funding application requesting that the District include $171,250.00 in its FY2009 budget to fund 50% of the increased cost. The County has committed to match this amount. Additional funds budgeted in FY2011 are for salary, travel and central garage with 50 percent of the funding from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin and 50 percent from the State SWIM Program. Additional Information Lake Tarpon is the seventh ranked water body on the District's list of SWIM Priority Water Bodies. The original SWIM Plan was completed in 1989 and revised in 1994.

Cooperative Agreement Expiration Date Contract Expiration 12/31/09 12/31/10 Status As Of: April 06, 2010 The cooperative funding agreement is retroactive to January 2006 when the County initiated design of the project. The County submitted the ERP permit application to the FDEP in May 2007. Following several Requests for Additional Information (RAI) from FDEP, the ERP was issued February 20, 2008 with unexpected monitoring requirements and construction conditions. The County filed a petition with FDEP to negotiate acceptable permitting conditions and November 7, 2008 received the revised permit. Due to delays resulting from FDOT's review and approval of the 60% design, the RAIs and permit negotiation, and delays in bid document approval, the County requested extensions to the deadlines for completion of design and for beginning and completion of construction. In response to a cooperative funding request, the Basin Board included additional funds in its FY2009 budget for this project. A second amendment was executed to increase the total project budget by $495,811 from $487,500 to $983,311. The District portion of the project increased by $171,250, from $120,000 to $291,250. The second amendment also extended the expiration date of the agreement to December 31, 2010 to allow for completion of construction and evaluation of the treatment efficiency of the project. The project milestones section of this write-up was revised to reflect these changes. The County issued the Notice to Proceed to the contractor on April 9, 2009. Excavation of the pond was delayed by the rains that the area experienced in April and early May 2009. The contractor's pumps could not keep up with the inflow into the pond. Once the rains stopped, and excavation got underway, the contractor encountered a limestone shelf that extends across half the pond. This shelf elevation was substantially shallower than the design conditions for the pond. Subsequently, a sinkhole developed and work on the pond was stopped. The County terminated the agreement with the Contractor while the feasibility with continuing the project was evaluated. It was determined that the alum system desgn with a with smaller floc capture area was feasible. This will increase operation and maintenance costs for the County.

B085 Sawgrass Lake Restoration Project Type Basin Initiatives AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status PRESTON, MATT LOPEZ, MANNY, SEACHRIST, JENNETTE Ongoing Description This project includes two major initiatives at Sawgrass Lake: 1) Remediation of contamination and reclamation of lead shot at Sawgrass Lake WMA; and 2) Water Quality Improvement Plan and Design for Sawgrass Lake. The project has three phases: Phase 1 - Evaluation; Phase 2 - Final Design, Engineering, and Permitting; and Phase 3 - Remediation/Construction. The District has contracted Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc. (PBS&J) for project consultant services. Studies and assessments have been performed to determine the feasibility of clean-up alternatives, cost analysis, design and permitting. Cost estimates for remediation and construction were developed during Phase 1. Construction and remediation are anticipated to begin in early 2010. The nature of the contamination in portions of the Sawgrass Lake Park WMA require a multi-disciplinary approach (i.e., engineering, environmental, regulatory, etc.) to clean-up water resources and ensure the protection of the public's health. The District has been working closely with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) throughout the course of this project to develop and implement a clean-up and restoration plan. Water quality improvements will target discharges from the lake and their potential source of nutrient loading to the Tampa Bay system. Benefits The principal elements of this project will result in the clean-up and restoration of water resources and wetland areas within Sawgrass Lake. Site clean-up and reclamation of spent shot from the drop zone area will remove lead and associated contaminants from the system. Water quality improvements will reduce potential nutrient loadings to Tampa Bay. Costs The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board has budgeted $23,099,530 for this project, which includes $1,000,000 from State Appropriations through the Ecosystems Trust Fund for Tampa Bay. The funding includes the transfer of $1,023,179 remaining from the Sawgrass Lake Environmental Study B071. The Phase 1 contract was for $500,000 and has been completed. Cost estimates for remediation and construction developed as part of the Phase 1 tasks indicate that approximately $23 million will be required for remediation and construction. The cost of this project requires that funds be budgeted over several years to have sufficient funds for project construction. For FY2010, a 319h grant in the amount of $455,000 has been awarded for construction. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries, travel and central garage. Additional Information Preliminary tests conducted at the District-owned Sawgrass Lake Park Water Management Area (WMA), including limited field testing conducted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and a Contamination Assessment Report (CAR) completed in August 2000 by SCS Engineers, Inc. documented contaminated conditions (i.e., elevated levels of lead and arsenic) 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. The source of the spent shot is from skeet and trap shooting activities conducted west of the District's ownership. Following several years of litigation and new legislation passed in April 2004, the District entered into a settlement agreement with the Skyway Trap and Skeet Club. Under the agreement, the District will undertake removal of lead shot and other contaminants from areas within the Sawgrass Lake Park WMA and the Skyway Trap and Skeet Club will be responsible for clean-up of their property. The settlement agreement also requires a transfer of five acres of District lands to the Skyway Trap and Skeet Club in exchange for the release of the lands east of the south inflow canal currently encumbered with a perpetual easement. The court-imposed easement grants the gun range the use of District lands as a drop-zone. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 98

B131 Hotel/Motel/Restaurant Water Conservation Program (Water CHAMP/PRO) Project Type Basin Initiatives AORs Water Quality Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Conservation General Fund (District), Alafia River, Hillsborough River, Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River, Withlacoochee River, Peace River, Manasota ROE, MELISSA ALTMAN, MELISSA Proposed Description This Basin Initiative (BI) project provides education to hotel/motel management and guests with the goal of reducing water use. The District provides printed materials to all participating properties to assist owners/managers in determining ways to save water through their properties' operational processes, including, but not limited to, a towel and linen reuse program. To build on the success of Water CHAMP, the District created the Water Program for Restaurant Outreach (Water PRO) to promote water conservation in restaurants. The CHAMP coordinator will promote the program through the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, partnerships with utility companies, direct mail and site visits to association members and independent restaurants. Materials include a button for wait staff to wear declaring that the restaurant serves water only upon request, information tabletop displays, children's coloring sheets, coasters and bathroom mirror cling stickers promoting water conservation to be placed on bathroom mirrors. Both Water CHAMP and PRO are measured for effectiveness by number of participating properties. In addition, Water CHAMP has proven its success by conducting two water audits on participating properties in 2003 and 2008. Benefits Water CHAMP provides the tools and education needed to help hotel/motel staff and guests learn to conserve water. This program measures the effectiveness of this education effort via actual water savings. The first evaluation of water savings was conducted by the City of Tampa and Pinellas County Utilities in 2002 and showed that participants saved an average of 20 gallons of water per occupied room per day. A five-year follow-up water audit was conducted in cooperation with 16 utility companies to determine the current level of water savings. The audit compared water consumption of 115 Water CHAMP participants before the program's implementation in 2002 to the amount used in 2007. The Districtwide audit showed that participants saved an average of 17 gallons of water per occupied room per day. The slight adjustment in water savings from the first audit to the five-year follow-up audit is attributed to a larger representative sample of the entire District. Based on the audit results and occupancy rates it is projected that more than 185 million gallons of water was saved by participating properties in 2009. In addition to water savings, this program has successfully prompted a change in water-use behavior as well as increased knowledge and awareness of the need for water conservation to protect the water resources. Costs The total proposed cost for the FY2011 program is $74,742 (District $1,677; Alafia River $4,756; Hillsborough River $16,441; Coastal Rivers $6,173; Pinellas-Anclote River $17,451; Withlacoochee River $5,331; Peace River $12,116; Manasota $10,797.) This reflects an overall decrease of 10.6%, primarily in printing costs. District funds will be used for CHAMP/PRO properties in the Green Swamp Basin. Funds will be used to pay for CHAMP/PRO coordinator (District temporary employee) salary, travel, printed materials and costs to educate the audience and promote the programs through advertising, workshops, tradeshows, professional memberships, etc. The dollar amount allocated per basin is based on anticipated work within that basin. Based on the average number of guests exposed to the program, the estimated per person cost for the program is less than $.01. As the program grows, the cost per person decreases. The cost benefit for the project, using the total cost amortized over five years, is $0.47 per thousand gallons of water. Additional Information The total cost of the FY2010 program is $83,692 (District - $7,768; Alafia River - $3,941; Hillsborough River - $13,274; Coastal Rivers - $6,866; Pinellas-Anclote - $16,613; Withlacoochee River - $6,107; Peace River - $15,113; Manasota - $14,010.) The District has supported this project since FY2002. Survey results show a 98 percent approval rating from hotel/motel guests. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 100

B249 Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal Restoration Project Project Type Basin Initiatives AORs Natural Systems Flood Protection Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Minimum Flows and Level Establishment and Monitoring Emergency Flood Response Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status HAGBERG, JEFFREY NORTON, NANCY, GARCIA, LIZANNE Ongoing Description Critical concerns related to the Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal (LTOC) and Structure S-551 are embankment erosion and deterioration of the secondary conveyance system. Over the years, wind and wave action have severely compromised the side slopes of the canal to where they are vertical in many areas and the situation continues to worsen. Sloughing of the channel banks has deteriorated the canal to the point where flow has diminished and equipment access to the embankments has become a safety concern. The LTOC is a regional scale conveyance way that receives flows through culverts that connect intermediate conveyance ways to the canal. Runoff from these intermediate systems, located all along the length of the canal, enters the canal through a series of 25 corrugated metal pipes (CMPs) that penetrate the embankments. Repair of the embankments and the secondary conveyance culverts, some in place for nearly 40 years, has required a significant commitment of funds as the problem extends to the length of the six-mile long canal. Benefits This repair of the embankments and culverts is a serious problem and the District is taking steps now to halt the erosion process. It is proposed to correct the problem through Basin funding. Costs In the first year of a multi-year funding cycle, the FY2006 budget provided $100,000 for engineering design services and $2,067,421 for construction repairs related to the culverts and embankment deterioration. The FY2007 budget provided $100,000 for engineering consultant services and $3,499,565 for contractual services. The FY2008 budget provided $3,500,000 for contractual services. The total project cost to repair the embankment and deteriorating culverts was projected to be $9,066,986. In FY2009 the cost estimate has been reduced and approximately $4,000,000 has been returned Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board. Additional Information These major structures, the Lake Tarpon Structure S-551 and Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal (LTOC), C-531, are part of the Four River Basins, Florida Project (FRB) authorized by the Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962.

B277 Florida Water Star Project Type Basin Initiatives AORs Water Quality Water Supply Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Conservation Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration General Fund (District), Alafia River, Hillsborough River, Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River, Withlacoochee River, Peace River, Manasota DURELL, SYLVIA Status Proposed Description The Florida Water StarSM (FWS) program was originated by the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). SJRWMD's original program, now known as FWS Silver, was used as a base for this District to create a higher-tier version, Florida Water Star Gold (FWSG). The Silver and Gold levels are certification programs for new home construction that provide incentives to builders and developers and encourage indoor and outdoor water efficiency and water quality protection. They are designed 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. Only FWSG is promoted to builders and developers in this District. It reflects a closer alignment to the University of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences' Florida Friendly LandscapingTM principles and landscape best management practices through criteria that will reduce impacts to water quality. The FWSG rating system is integrated into the landscape evaluation component of the Florida Green Building Coalition's certification program and has consistency with national green building programs such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) by the U.S. Green Building Council and Energy Star from the Environmental Protection Agency. As of the second quarter of FY2010, 22 properties have been certified FWS Gold and 14 companies have signed contracts to potentially build 300 homes to the program criteria. If funded, this will be the third year of the FWS Gold program. In FY2010, staff began piloting FWS Commercial and Homeowner Retrofit programs and efforts will continue on these programs in FY2011. Benefits The program's objectives are to increase the knowledge level of efficient indoor and outdoor water use and to provide educational resources and incentives to promote water conservation practices. Up to 50 percent of all household water is used outside the home and inefficient or incorrectly installed irrigation can waste thousands of gallons of water each month. Indoors, inefficient shower fixtures use an average of five gallons per minute. A leaking toilet can waste more than 200 gallons in a single day. The FWS program criteria provide guidelines to follow that will positively impact water resources when the program is successfully implemented. Because of the program's high profile and the involvement of the water management districts, it is of high interest to the target audience. By providing an incentive for builders, developers and homeowners that encourages them to incorporate best management practices, the District realizes water savings and water quality protection. Changes in behavior occur when a builder signs a contract with the District to build houses according to the FWSG criteria, and agrees thereafter to include water conserving elements into future projects. Owners of new or retrofitted FWS properties receive the benefits of the indoor and outdoor water-conserving elements of the program and can promote the certification as a marketing edge at time of resale. The program's close partnership with the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) resulted in FWSG outdoor water conservation criteria being incorporated into the FGBC standards. Costs The total proposed cost of the FY2011 program is $93,365, with the District requested to contribute $48,100 and the Basin Boards to contribute $45,265 (Alafia River $3,388; Hillsborough River $11,563; Coastal Rivers $4,350; Pinellas-Anclote River $11,094; Withlacoochee River $3,388; Peace River $7,236; Manasota $7,246). Overall program costs have decreased slightly since FY2010. The dollar amount allocated per contributing basin is based on population. will provide for salary and travel for a project coordinator to manage the program, support for education outreach and contractual services related to the delivery of the program. The budget lines below include costs for staff to manage the project. Additional Information The total cost of the FY2010 program was $94,500, with the District contributing $47,250 and the Basin Boards contributing $47,250 (Alafia River $3,500; Hillsborough River $12,000; Coastal Rivers $4,500; Pinellas-Anclote River $11,500; Withlacoochee River $3,500; Peace River $7,500; Manasota $7,500).

On 3/25/2009, a model home in the Glencairn Cottages community in Dunedin (Pinellas County) was the first house to be certified as FWSG in the District and the state. Since then, twenty-two homes have been certified. As of the end of FY2009, 14 companies have signed intent agreements with the District with a potential of 305 homes being built under the program. Through the partnership with the affordable housing builder, Florida Home Partnership, Inc. (FHP), 13 houses have been certified in FHP's Wimauma community and one has been certified in a Dade City community. FHP expects that 100 houses will eventually be certified in Wimauma and at least 40 in Dade City. Nine FHP houses in Wimauma are currently in the certification process. FHP was recognized in April at the Withlacoochee River Basin Board meeting. A recognition event will be planned for the first FWS commercial project to be certified in the District in Lakeland. An update was presented to the Basin Board Education Committee on March 3. Outreach events include: Hernando County Water Conservation series; Golf Fest at The Villages; Citrus County Roundtable, Citrus County Green & Blue Team, Water & Natural Resources Expo in The Villages and certifiers training for approximately 30 permitting and building staff of Charlotte and Sarasota counties. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 109

This process will be applied to watersheds where the parameters and model(s) were developed or updated based on the District's Guidelines and Specifications (G&S) and where parameters from Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP) submittals can be converted to the District's GIS system until a model is developed. will be required each year to continue maintenance. With proposed FY 2011 funding the work of capturing watershed parameter changes resulting from approved ERPs, and updates to topographic, soils and land use information will continue throughout the District. The funding will also support the peer review and public outreach process on the preliminary floodplain results, and presenting the results to Governing Board for approval. Benefits The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments with their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service, develops Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies, and provides a geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain and water quality management. Costs For FY2011 the funding distribution for Pasco County is as follows: Governing Board $155,552 (Basins); Hillsborough River $61,834; Coastal Rivers $65,199; Pinellas-Anclote $11,273; Withlacoochee River $6,141. The following revenue will be received: Pasco County $300,000; The revenue will be distributed as follows: Green Swamp $ 11,104; Hillsborough River $123,668; Coastal Rivers $130,399; Pinellas-Anclote $22,546; Withlacoochee River $12,283. The budget is based on the projected number of approved ERP permits and the average development area within each Basin. Local government matching funds are equally matched by Governing Board and Basin Board funds. The Governing Board is also providing funds specifically to address public meetings and unforeseen issues with projecting the floodplains to be used in the FEMA mapping process. Future funding to continue maintenance has been estimated through 2012. The projected annual funding amount for Pasco County ranges from $150,000 to $300,000. The District funding amounts shown in the table includes staff salaries. Additional Information A WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of Best Management Practices, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. After the Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements are completed; the watershed parameters and models require continuous maintenance to simulate the watershed's characteristics as the land form changes. The watershed's parameters change with the continued growth experienced in the District. If continued maintenance of the models is not performed, the watershed parameters and model will no longer represent the system. This limits their value in the areas of ERP and flood protection programs. A revenue agreement will be developed with each community contributing funds towards maintenance. The District will manage the project and enter into purchase orders and agreements to accomplish project tasks. Future funding will be required each fiscal year to continue maintenance of watershed parameters and models. In the future those local governments with the technical abilities to perform the maintenance activities will be encouraged to manage this effort. The District will provide funding assistance to communities that can and those that cannot provide matching funds. Matching funds will be requested from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for this basin initiative. Failure to provide ongoing maintenance will diminish the return on the investment the District has made in their respective Watershed Management Plans. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 110

The information developed assists local governments with their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service and developing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies. In addition, the information provides the District with the best available information to evaluate adverse impacts and mitigation of floodplain impacts for proposed ERPs. The most up to date information about the watershed will be available through the continuous maintenance of watershed parameters in the GIS database: as ERP permits are approved, new information is provided to the District through aerial topographic mapping and the public review and comment period. If a watershed model has not been developed, the maintenance of parameters in the GIS processes the information in a format that will save time and funding when the watershed is modeled. Costs For FY2011 the funding distribution for Pinellas county is as follows: Governing Board $20,160; Pinellas-Anclote $20,160. The budget is based on the projected number of approved ERP permits and the average development area within each Basin.

Various types of well sites include groundwater sampling wells, data collection wells, and rainfall wells/gauges. Additional requirements at both water control structures and well sites include erosion control, slope stabilization, fencing, along with road, culvert and channel maintenance. These maintenance areas are District owned, but were not acquired using Save Our Rivers, P2000, and Forever Florida funds. Currently there are five water control structures and 14 well sites to maintain. The largest structure in this basin is S-551. The largest asset in the basin is the Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal which requires mowing of 31 acres per cycle. The canal banks are steeply sloped and require special maintenance equipment. There are 25 culverts and approximately three miles of canal and berm banks that require maintenance. Benefits Keeping Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal and the water control structures clear and maintained are required to maintain the designed flow capacity. Well sites are maintained for Hydrologic Data and Resource Data crews to collect data easily and in a safe manner. In addition, repairs as necessary for erosion control and slope stabilization at canals and water control structures are accomplished with the use of materials such as rip-rap rock and filter fabric. In addition, maintenance requirements at well sites include materials for road stabilization and fencing repairs. Costs The budget includes salaries, central garage charges, rental equipment, parts, supplies, landfill disposal fees, land maintenance materials (limerock, shell, rock, and fill), and fencing repairs. The costs include $20,000 (FY2010) and $30,000 (FY2011) for contracted fence repairs and contracted mowing.

B670 Structure Operations 016 Project Type Basin Initiatives AORs Flood Protection Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Strategic Initiatives Emergency Flood Response Minimum Flows and Level Establishment and Monitoring Alafia River, Hillsborough River, Northwest Hillsborough, Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River, Withlacoochee River, Peace River CRANE, DAVID GANUN, JIM, BARTLETT, MIKE Ongoing Description The B670 budget provides funding for inspections, operation and maintenance activities on District water control structures. There are two operable structures and one major canal system within the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin. The Lake Tarpon Structure (S-551) and Tarpon Outfall Canal (C-531) are designed to pass a 30-year flood of 6,000 cfs at elevation 3.7' NGVD and were originally constructed as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Four Rivers Basin Project. S-551 functions as a salinity barrier preventing saltwater from entering Lake Tarpon during high tide events up to 6.0' NGVD. District staff participated in the Task Force to develop USACE's Manatee Protection Plan for Water Control Structures. The Sawgrass structure located in Pinellas Park is a flood control structure. Because it controls flow from Sawgrass Lake which has water levels that are highly responsive to rain events, the District converted this to remote control. The water control structure at Lake Anne in Pasco County is also included in the Pinellas-Anclote Basin and is manually-controlled. Video cameras were installed in FY2010 to monitor levels, structure operations, and security at Tarpon Outfall and Sawgrass structures. Benefits District Structure Operations involves three areas of responsibility: inspections, maintenance (including construction and repair), and operation. A comprehensive structural/operational inspection program of water control structures, both above and below water, is required to discover deficiencies related to human safety (both public and District personnel), operational viability, and structural integrity of the structures. The objectives and benefits of the District's inspection program, and Structure Operations activities in general, are: (1) early discovery of structural/operational deficiencies and maintenance problems deficiencies, thereby forestalling costly repairs; (2) to find and mitigate safety hazards to District personnel and the public; (3) to prevent/preempt structure failure with thorough, regular inspections, thereby reducing the potential for loss of life and property; and, (4) to comply with applicable state/federal regulations and guidelines for inspection, operation and maintenance of water control structures. The program has one full-time inspector, who performs routine monthly inspections and is responsible for inspection reporting. The District also uses engineering consultants for inspection services on the more critical structures on a two-year rotational basis. Structure Operations section work orders are generated from inspection reports and the section's Five-Year Plan. Structure Maintenance activities range from routine servicing and replacement of equipment, to repair and construction of water control structures, to perform gate operations under established guidelines in response to developing weather events. The Structure Operations section is additionally responsible for monitoring water levels and rainfall totals across the District, and directing structure gate operations which are accomplished either manually or by remote control. Over the last five years, Structure Operations has automated 32 structures with remote control capabilities. Water level and rainfall data is received via the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The automated structure gates can then be operated from a laptop computer using the SCADA program. The move to remote control structures greatly increases operational efficiency, flexibility, and safety factors. Remote control also decreases response time, which also has reduced the number of complaints received related to water levels and flood management. Current plans are to automate up to approximately half of all District structures with remote control capabilities. Costs The FY2010 budget of $155,875 includes as non-recurring expenses, $31,000 for emergency/miscellaneous consultant and contractual services, and $21,000 for the Digital Video Monitoring System and communications. Remaining funds, approximately $67,000 in Parts & Supplies, Rental of Equipment, Salaries, Central Garage, etc., are related to ongoing routine maintenance and operations. For FY2011, the budget provides $25,00 for Emergency/miscellaneous consultant and contractual services; $12,000 for the semi-annual inspection of the Lake Tarpon structure, S-551; $5,900 for the lease of the DVMS camera lease & maintenance agreement; $2,500 for VTSCADA updating & maintenance, and $25,000 for an electrical power cell for the Sawgrass structure. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 118

The move reflects the value of Florida-Friendly LandscapingTM education to water resources and the integral role FYN plays in this education. The level of county support is expected to be maintained. This Florida Yards & Neighborhoods (FYN) project will provide education on Florida-Friendly Landscaping to homeowners, students and participants in Florida Water StarSM projects. In addition, the program will continue to support the FYN homeowner/community association coordinator in outreach to residents of communities. Effectiveness will be measured by the number of participants in workshops, one-on-one interactions, and school visits; potential exposure to newspaper articles and electronic media; and distribution of printed education materials. Benefits In past years, approximately 40,000 people have received education annually either on a personal basis, at workshops, classes and exhibits or through distribution of education materials. In addition, each year approximately 38,000 people have been exposed to education through mass media outlets, such as newspaper articles and county government television programming. Education increases knowledge and promotes behavior change related to conservation of water and protection of water quality and natural systems. Costs The total proposed cost of the FY2011 program is $174,625, with the District requested to contribute $56,000 (Pinellas-Anclote River). Program costs have remained stable since FY2009. District funds are being requested for salaries and benefits for one of the two coordinators; Tampa Bay Water funds the other one, as well as an administrative assistant and program expenses. The program is projected to reach 40,000 Pinellas County residents at a cost to the District of approximately $1.40 per person. The budget lines below include costs for staff to manage the project.

In addition, the coordinator will be available to provide advice to participants of the Florida Water StarSM projects. Effectiveness will be measured by tracking the amount of water saved on projects and number of participants attending association meetings, presentations, one-on-one interactions, site visits and the number of printed materials distributed. The coordinator will also encourage the use of certified landscape and irrigation professionals by property managers and promote the use of landscape requirements that are consistent with the Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles to persons involved with establishing or reviewing association deed restrictions. Benefits The District has funded this program through the Basin Initiative for Public Education (P268) since FY2006. In past years, approximately 6,000 decision-makers for homeowner and community associations have received education annually on a one-to-one basis, at site visits and presentations. If funded in FY2011, outreach will continue to emphasize how changes in landscape practices can protect water resources while still creating and maintaining attractive and desirable properties. Water savings in common grounds have been documented through water use comparisons at several properties in Pinellas County, including Royal Stewart Arms, which saved 2.9 gallons of water over one year and Venetian Bay, which saved 2.4 millions of gallons over one year. The water savings occurred through replacement of high-volume irrigation with microirrigation systems, detection and repair of leaky or inefficient systems, planting the right plant in the right place, commitment to following watering restrictions and watering only when needed. Costs The total proposed cost of the FY2011 program is $45,000, with the District requested to contribute $45,000 (Pinellas-Anclote River). Program costs have remained stable since FY2009. District funds are being requested for salary and benefits for the coordinator. An office, computer, supervision and transportation for the coordinator is provided by the Pinellas County Extension office. The program is projected to reach 6,000 HOA board members and residents and landscape professionals at a cost to the District of approximately $7.50 per person. Because the audience is primarily the decision-makers on landscape rules and maintenance, the indirect outreach is actually larger than the numbers imply. Additional Information The Pinellas HOA FYN coordinator, Doris Heitzmann, provided education either in a one-on-one situation, through workshops, site visits and distribution of education materials to 5,902 people in FY2009. Education is based on the nine Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles that were created by the University of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) for the FYN program: Right Plant, Right Place, Water Efficiently, Fertilize Appropriately, Mulch, Attract Wildlife, Manage Yard Pests Responsibly, Recycle, Reduce Stormwater Runoff and Protect the Waterfront. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 126

Three of the presentations made to HOA boards were about the SB 2080. Heitzmann was a guest on the three-hour Florida Gardening radio show on 970 WFLA where she discussed FFL and water conservation success stories. Heitzmann reviewed the Imperial Point Condominium Association's landscape maintenance services request for proposals (RFP). The RFP emphasized using best management practices. Contracts were consequently signed with companies whose employees have DEP/BMP certifications. The pest control operator practice Integrated Pest Management. Heitzmann is helping the Heather Hills Condominium Association in Dunedin on a grant-funded project to make the community an all Florida-Friendly community. As a result of a landscape/irrigation project at Imperial Pointe Villas in Largo, approximately 515,000 gallons of water have been saved November 2009 through March 2010 compared to the amount used during the same time period the previous year. The condo association saved $4,249 on water costs. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 127
B814 Hillsborough and Pinellas Co Topographic Data Refinement Project Type Basin Initiatives AORs Natural Systems Flood Protection Flood Protection Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Minimum Flows and Level Establishment and Monitoring Emergency Flood Response Floodplain Management Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status KARLIN, AL KARLIN, AL, FITOS, EKATERINA Proposed Description The project will process existing LiDAR datasets so that they are compatible with current District mapping specifications. The project will result in the processing of two different datasets that cover all of Pinellas county and part of Polk county. The Pinellas data were collected in 2007 as part of the Statewide Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) project funded by the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM). The Polk county data were collected in 2005 as part of the Peace River Topographic Mapping project funded by the District. The processing will include three primary components: 1) Modification and addition of breakline features to allow water bodies to be more accurately defined, 2) Refiltering of LiDAR data to all the mapping of very small scale hydrographic features such as creeks and ditches, and 3) Creation of hydrologically flattened digital elevation models that are required for detailed surface water modeling activities. The deliverables from the project will include refined surface elevations and digital elevation models that meet the District's and FEMA's mapping specifications. The data will be compatible with the County's and District's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) databases and will be entered into the National Spatial Data Infrastructure. The primary purpose of the data will be to support cooperative District and County projects that will result in the update of FEMA FIRMs. Additionally, the data will support planning for future watershed management programs, design and implementation of any large-scale drainage improvement projects, assist in emergency preparedness planning, and will allow for more accurate and efficient mapping of wetlands. Benefits The primary benefits of this effort include: 1) Older District data and those collected by other agencies will be compatible with current mapping and modeling standards; 2) Increased accuracies in flood plain models; and 3) Increased efficiencies in surface water modeling activities done by the District Watershed Management Program contractors. Costs This project will encompass collecting and processing data within the Hillsborough River and Pinellas-Anclote Basins. The costs have been allocated based on the percentage of the project falling within each Basin that will be collected and processed. The FY2011 proposed budget is $420,000 and includes $10,026 in salaries and $420,000 in contractual services where costs will be (100%) the District.

P106 Lake Maggiore Restoration Project Type Basin Initiatives AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status City of St. Petersburg, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Pinellas County LOPEZ, MANNY BARNES, CHRIS, PRATER, CORRINA Ongoing Description The District (through the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board) along with the City of St. Petersburg began lake restoration efforts at Lake Maggiore in 1989 when a cooperatively funded Diagnostic/Feasibility Study was initiated. The results of diagnostic work indicated that untreated stormwater run-off and the large quantity of organic sediments were contributing to the excessive nutrient (phosphorus and nitrogen) enrichment of Lake Maggiore. Nutrient enrichment had resulted in highly eutrophic conditions characterized by persistent algae blooms, poor water clarity, low dissolved oxygen levels, periodic fish kills, and prolific growth of invasive plants (e.g., cattails and water hyacinths). The results of the study became the basis for the development of a "Master Agreement" for a Lake Restoration Management Plan. The Plan outlined a series of lake restoration projects focused on the improvement of the lake's water quality, shoreline habitats, and recreational benefits. The goals of the Lake Maggiore Restoration and Management Plan are being met through several capital improvement projects. The District has maintained the Master Agreement with the City with a current contract completion date of December 29, 2007 (Contract# 93CON000078). As stated in the plan, the following project elements have been implemented and completed: 1) cattail removal and littoral zone reconstruction; 2) aquatic weed removal through the use of an aquatic mechanical weed harvester; 3) design and construction of a new outfall structure / salinity barrier at Salt Creek; and 4) stormwater retrofit through the installation of five alum injection systems. The alum injection systems treat run-off from approximately 1,600 acres of residential and light commercial areas from the lake's watershed. It is estimated that the alum injection system removes approximately 60 percent of the annual stormwater phosphorus load into Lake Maggiore. The last element of the Lake Maggiore Restoration and Management Plan was the dredging, dewatering and disposal of nutrient-laden lake sediments. Benefits The various elements of the Lake Maggiore Restoration Plan target improvements in the lake's water quality, shoreline habitats, recreational activities and aesthetic values of the lake. Reductions in nutrient loads and the removal of nutrient-rich bottom sediments are expected to set back the progression of water quality problems resulting from urbanization of the lake's watershed. Costs The original estimated project cost was $10 million, to be shared equally between the City and the District. In December 2000, the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board increased its funding share for the project by $1,160,000 (with an equal match from the City) for a new project total of $12,320,000. In December 2001, following receipt of bids for the dredging, dewatering and disposal of lake bottom sediments, the City requested the Basin Board consider appropriating an additional $2,750,000 to cover 50 percent of the estimated budget shortfall for the dredging project. In February 2002, the Basin Board approved an additional $2,750,000 for the project (again with an equal match from the City) increasing the Basin's share to $8,910,000, and thereby increasing the total funding for the project to $17,820,000. In June of 2006, at the City's request, the Basin Board approved to include $1,125,000 in additional funding for the project during the development of its FY2007 budget. support by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board was contingent on an equal match of $1,125,000 from the City of St. Petersburg and final approval and adoption of the District's FY2007 budget. The additional funding approved as part of the FY2007 budget brings the Basin's share to $10,035,000. Together with the City's equal match of $1,125,000, total project funding increased to $20,070,000. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries, central garage charges, travel and laboratory analyses costs. Additional Information Following permit modifications and additional monitoring requirements, the lake dredge and dewatering plant were in place and fully operational as of October 2004. Jahna Dredging Inc., was the City's dredging contractor. Average daily dredge operations covered an area of 150 feet by 75 feet at a depth of 9 feet (4 to 5 feet of sediment). With approval from the District, the City undertook the hauling operation with an estimated 2,000 to 2,500 cubic yards of dredged (and dewatered) material hauled per day to various disposal areas. The nearby Toy Town landfill was originally 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 130
P106 Lake Maggiore Restoration proposed as a secondary disposal site but was not used. The City requested a no-cost time extension to the agreement with the District to accommodate project delays associated with permit modifications and additional monitoring required for the dredging element of the project. On June 20, 2005 both parties approved and executed the no-cost time extension. The Fourth Amendment to the agreement extended the contract period and project completion date through December 29, 2007. Dredging operations were completed in October 2006. The project was completed on September 30, 2008. Post project water quality monitoring continues.

Program components will consist of school board agreements, teacher training workshops, grants for classroom projects, field trip program support, Envirothon support and educational resources for students and educators. Agreements with the majority of school districts throughout the District continue to be proposed for annual completion, which would provide baseline water resources education programs to students and teachers. Teacher training efforts will ensure that teachers understand and are able to teach students about relevant basin issues. Proposed training sessions provide background information, materials, experiences and opportunities to explore topics of importance in the basin. Teacher workshops will be conducted by District staff and/or educators who have been trained by District staff. Participants evaluate the effectiveness of teacher workshops, providing another method of improving performance. Workshops will include information about the District and the basins, as well as basic hydrology and water management issues. The Splash! school grant program proposes to provide funds to teachers for classroom water education projects centered on current basin issues. Classroom projects will be designed to increase knowledge and understanding of the impacts of human activities on the water resources in their basin and to effect behavior change in regard to water resources conservation and protection. Grant projects proposed must fall into one of six categories: watersheds, water conservation and supply, water quality, flood protection/drought education, alternative water sources or natural systems. Proposed projects must also support the District's Strategic Plan. Measurable outcomes include documentation and evaluation of individual mini-grants including pre- and post-assessment scores, sample student work generated from the project, video or photographic documentation, and final reports by teachers and representative students. Grant recipients are required to participate in annual sharing days, which provide an opportunity for mini-grant participants to showcase their projects and provide model programs for other teachers who would like to implement water projects in their classrooms. The District will provide a variety of educational resources to educators and students including student newsletters with accompanying teacher's guides, water-testing equipment, surface and groundwater models, and others. The District also will provide kits and boxes specific to water conservation (the grades K-3 Water Conservation Kit) and watersheds (the grades K-3 Watershed Resource Box and the grades 4-8 Watershed Education Resources Box) that teach students about the importance of water conservation and healthy watersheds, while meeting Sunshine State Standards and preparing students for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Each of these resources includes a big book, several smaller books, a teacher's guide and other tools and materials used for role-playing and demonstrations. Each county has received kits and boxes for circulation, and these materials are available through the Splash! school grant program. Benefits The proposed Youth Water Resources Education project will continue to help the District meet its mission by providing students, teachers and families with classroom materials and opportunities for hands-on learning experiences that equip them to make informed decisions about water resources. Throughout coordination of the District's youth education program, strong partnerships have been developed throughout public school districts, private schools, homeschool networks, science centers, museums and organizations, colleges and universities, state departments, local governments, girl and boy scout groups, boys and girls clubs, environmental education providers as well as numerous non-formal educational centers. Costs The proposed FY2011 budget for youth education totals $906,000. is shared among the basins as follows: Alafia River $58,900; Hillsborough River $189,650; Coastal Rivers $59,200; Pinellas-Anclote River $256,250; Withlacoochee River $59,200; Peace River $195,550; Manasota $87,250.

P259 Youth Water Resources Education reached 371,536 students and teachers in FY2009 through programs, outreach, teacher workshops and school grants. An additional 525,000 students and teachers received District youth education publications and curriculum tools during FY2009. Because most, if not all, of those involved in youth education programs also receive publications, a conservative estimate puts District outreach (371,536) at 45 percent of the students and teachers in the District (817,644) at a cost of $2.44 per person, which is 17% lower than the average of other District-funded youth education projects implemented by cooperators. Additional Information The FY2010 budget for youth education was $906,000. was shared among the basins as follows: Alafia River $58,900; Hillsborough River $189,650; Coastal Rivers $59,200; Pinellas-Anclote River $256,250; Withlacoochee River $59,200; Peace River $195,550; Manasota $87,250. Staff reached a total of 537,670 students and teachers in FY2009 through programs, school grants and outreach. A total of 209 school grants were completed, impacting more than 114,150 students. Water resources education program agreements with 13 separate school boards impacted more than 53,000 students and teachers. The 19 teacher workshops involved 417 teachers who will reach more than 42,000 students per year. More than 843,000 pieces of youth education materials were distributed to students and teachers throughout the District. In FY2010, the Youth Education Section continued its three-year program evaluation to determine successful program elements, to identify ways to improve impact and to develop effective ways to impart behavior change. The comprehensive evaluation conducted by an outside evaluator will conclude in FY2011.

Staff has approved funding for 35 projects, totaling $144,052. In February, Basin Boards were informed of funded projects and grant implementation workshops for grantees were held. The Hillsborough County Extension's 2010 Tree and Landscape Short Course, held on February 19, educated more than 420 landscape professionals on Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles, and best management practices. The grant implementation period runs from March through July 2010. Florida-Friendly Landscaping Education: (1) A Hernando County half-day workshop focusing on SB 2080 and Florida-Friendly Landscaping was held on February 26. (2) In the first task period, the Pinellas HOA FYN coordinator, Doris Heitzmann, conducted 11 site visits; made 8 presentations to a total of 155 people and had 412 individual contacts. The Hillsborough/Polk HOA FYN coordinator, Lisa Strange, conducted 8 site visits; made 9 presentations to a total of 247 people and had contact with 928 individuals. "Get Outside!" Campaign: Since FY2007, the Communications, Land Resources and Community and Legislative Affairs departments have been working together to let people know that District lands are available for recreation and to encourage more people to visit District lands. In September 2009 the District launched the "Get Outside!" campaign to promote the recreational opportunities available to the public on District-owned lands. Since the campaign began, 18,000 copies of the Recreation Guide to the Southwest Florida Water Management District Lands have been distributed. There have also been 35,000 visits to revised WaterMatters.org/recreation web site, with 15,000 of those unique visitors. Staff distributed a news release encouraging residents to get outside for Florida Hiking Trails Month in February, which resulted in articles in the Sumter County Times, Citrus County Chronicle, Pasco Shopper, Tampa Bay Newspapers in Pinellas County and the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce's eview newsletter. As part of the campaign, the District is hosting three community events to showcase District lands with the hope that those attending come back with family and friends to enjoy these properties on their own. The first event was held at Starkey Wilderness Preserve -- Serenova Tract in Pasco County on Nov. 7, 2009. The second "Get Outside!" community event was held at the Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve -- Hampton Tract on Feb. 27, 2010. Despite cold and rainy conditions, 130 people attended along with 29 volunteers, including members of Boy Scout Troop 72, members of American Disability Adventures and a group of students from Tenoroc High School. As a result of increased effort to enhance diversity at the event, members from both the Dade City Farmworkers Self-Help group and Boys and Girls Club attended. Ninety-five attendees signed the pledge 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 137
P268 Public Education to come back to visit Hampton. Ninety-five attendees signed the pledge to come back to visit Hampton. Staff is currently planning the next "Get Outside!" event at Deep Creek in DeSoto County on April 10, 2010. The event will feature similar activities and displays as previous events. Media Messaging: The District's FY2010 media messaging campaign began in November 2009 and ran through February 14, 2010. Two advertisements were created to reach the target audiences. One of the ads focused on the negative consequences of over-watering lawns in the winter. The other ad explained how to turn off an irrigation timer to skip a week of watering. This integrated campaign promoted the "Skip a Week" concept through television, print, radio, billboard, Internet and magazine advertisements as well as utility bill stuffers and at special events. New this year, the message was promoted on 30 wrapped buses in Hillsborough County, on banners and signs at county extension offices, and at nine Lowe's stores. A posttest public survey is being conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign. Research: (1) The Irrigation Literacy Evaluation, Phase II: Water-Wise Irrigation Practices and Perceptions Campaign. University of Florida has reviewed survey data it collected within Pinellas County during Phase I. Homeowners will be provided with information on day-of-week restrictions and seasonal irrigation scheduling guidelines via a fact sheet, laminated irrigation system run-time card to attach to their time clock and web site link. To measure irrigation savings, billing data will be obtained for all participating homes and compared to an equal number of randomly selected non-participant households of similar value and parcel size. Survey packets created to promote program participation that include an informed consent form, homeowner letter explaining the program and initial criteria questionnaire have been submitted to District staff for review. (2) The pretest phase of the FY2010 media research plan has been completed. Significant responses include the following: a.) six out of ten households surveyed report having irrigation systems, b.) 86 percent of households with irrigation systems report having someone in the household who knows how to turn off the system, and c.) nearly half of those surveyed felt they needed to water their lawns every week year-round to keep them healthy. The posttest, which is a Districtwide telephone survey conducted directly after the campaign in early March, will focus on the last point to see if there is any change in respondents' attitudes regarding irrigation needs during the winter. Results will be available in late April. Watershed/Water Quality Education: The District's watershed education efforts focus on specific behaviors, such as reducing fertilizer and pesticide use, maintaining septic systems, conserving water, disposing of trash appropriately and picking up and disposing of pet waste. The District continues to partner with the Tampa Bay Estuary Program to implement the "Pooches for the Planet" program in Pinellas County. The program's goal is to reduce water quality impacts by increasing the number of pet owners who pick up dog waste and dispose of it properly. Nearly 400 adoption kits containing valuable coupons and educational materials about how dog waste impacts water quality have been distributed at the Pinellas County animal shelter and the Humane Society since November. Two Pinellas County neighborhoods, Crescent Lake and Greater Pinellas Point, have received pet waste stations and bags to encourage residents to dispose of pet waste properly. Residents in these neighborhoods also received educational materials including door hangers and a newsletter article reinforcing the message of proper disposal. Special Events: The District participates in special events throughout the year as a part of its outreach efforts. At some events, the District supplies a restroom trailer that includes signage that promotes the District's message as well as airing the District's radio ads on its sound systems. Twenty-one events were scheduled in FY2010. Seven of these events include the restroom trailer. During January and February, the following attendance numbers were reported: 200 people visited the District's booth at the Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival and approximately 6,500 visited the District's restroom trailer. A total of 2,812 visited the District's booth at the Florida State Fair with 60,000 visiting the trailer. Due to poor weather conditions, less than 20 people visited the District's booth at the African American Heritage Celebration. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 138
H012 Largo/Clearwater/Pasco-ASR/Interconnect (includes H012-A Largo and H012-B Clearwater) Project Type WS&R Dev. AORs Water Quality Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Reclaimed Water General Fund (District), Alafia River, Hillsborough River, Northwest Hillsborough, Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River, Withlacoochee River City of Clearwater, City of Largo, Pasco County, Pinellas County Utilities ANDRADE, ANTHONY Status Ongoing Description This regional reclaimed interconnect concept is being pursued in an updated project which involves moving surplus flows from Pinellas County, Largo and Clearwater systems to Pasco County to be used for irrigation demands and/or to restore natural systems. The potential exists for other reclaimed water systems in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties to supply/receive reclaimed water to/from the project. Please refer to "Additional Info" below for a description of the original project components, costs and benefits. Benefits The project could provide an estimated annual average of 10 mgd of reclaimed water to offset an estimated 6 mgd of traditional water resources. The use of reclaimed water during wet-weather periods would also reduce discharges to surface water bodies, thereby improving water quality. Costs The project was substantially changed in 2008 to remove the full scale ASR components due to permittability issues and to add Pinellas County to the list of transmission interconnect participants. As a result of the 2008 project changes, and due to the timeline uncertainty, the previously encumbered and available District funding ($3,626,423) was reduced by returning $3,406,441 to the respective Boards, leaving a remaining project balance of approximately $220,000 available for a new feasibility evaluation of the updated Transmission/Storage Component. Ultimately, the total regional project cost of the updated project is preliminarily estimated to be approximately $19,000,000 and the District's 50% share of $9,500,000 is anticipated to be funded by the Governing Boards and multiple basin boards. Due to the regional impact of the project on water supplies in Northern Tampa Bay, the updated project is anticipated to be funded by the Governing Board, the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin, and the Hillsborough River Basin Boards. Future funding of this project will require a large capital investment and construction will span several years; therefore, District funding may be requested to be allocated over multiple fiscal years to ensure funds are available when costs are expected to occur. The future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the District Governing and Basin Boards in the annual budget(s). The cost benefit, using 10 mgd to offset 6 mgd amortized at 8% interest over 30 years, would be $0.76/1000 gallons offset. Refinement of the project is ongoing and the updated feasibility study of the project may change the costs and benefits (please see Additional Information below). Additional Information The project originally was anticipated to supply 3 mgd to offset 1.8 mgd and cost approximately $10,000,000 ($5,000,000 District share) to pursue two main concepts; 1. Storage Component: including a completed ASR feasibility ($150,000, with District share of $50,000 expended), a completed exploratory ASR well in Clearwater ($320,000, with District share of $160,000 expended), a completed $20,000 District share transfer to project H305 to research Pasco reservoir storage, a cancelled $3,900,000 full scale ASR system to store reclaimed water and 2. Transmission Component: a $5,693,200 main to regionally connect the reclaimed water systems of Clearwater, Largo and Pasco County. The project was substantially changed in 2008 to remove the full scale ASR components due to permittability issues and to add Pinellas County to the list of transmission interconnect participants. As a result of the 2008 project changes, and due to the timeline uncertainty, the previously encumbered and available District funding ($3,626,423) was reduced by returning $3,406,441 to the respective Boards, leaving a remaining project balance of approximately $220,000 available for a new evaluation of the updated Transmission Component. The consultant for a related project (H305) completed a report in April 2007 on investigations into the utilization of project H012 flows in Pasco County. Those investigations (by King Eng.) concluded that 10 mgd reclaimed water supply from H012 delivered to Pasco at Odessa could enable Pasco to increase its estimated customer base by an additional 25% and also decrease (by up to 15 years) the time frame needed to reach Pasco's original reuse goals. Based upon those H305 findings, District staff coordinated meetings between potential interconnect partners in 2007, 2008, and planning continues on pipeline sizing and routing, as well as for additional opportunities for interconnects to regional reuse reservoirs. As a result of these meetings and due to the unsuccessful ASR pursuit in Clearwater, the H012 project 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 139
H012 Largo/Clearwater/Pasco-ASR/Interconnect (includes H012-A Largo and H012-B Clearwater) description was updated to be a regional interconnection project between Pinellas County, Largo, Clearwater, and Pasco County.

H030 West Pasco Infrastructure Improvement - Starkey/North Pasco Wellfields Project Type WS&R Dev. AORs Water Supply Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration General Fund (District), Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Tampa Bay Water GOODWIN, AUDRIE ARMSTRONG, BRIAN Completed Description This project was designed to provide up to 19 mgd in regional source water to the West Pasco Service Area and New Port Richey utilities by interconnecting with Tampa Bay Water's regional distribution system via a 36-inch transmission main. This project also includes improvements to New Port Richey's Maytum Water Treatment Plant. The West Pasco Service Area was originally served only by the Starkey and North Pasco Wellfields however Tampa Bay Water's Board requested that this project be implemented to speed the recovery of ecological systems by reducing groundwater pumping at the Pasco Wellfields. Benefits During times when natural systems at the wellfields are most stressed, the Pasco wellfields can be reduced to near zero pumping. This will allow for environmental recovery of the system as seen in other Pasco County wellfields where groundwater cutbacks have occurred. The interconnection with the regional distribution system to the West Pasco Service Area will increase reliability of the system, provide alternate water sources, and create rotational capacity. Costs The project was approved for funding by the Governing Board, Coastal Rivers Basin Board, and the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board in their fiscal year 2005 budgets. was allocated as follows: $261,310 from the Coastal Rivers Basin Board; $5,365,472 from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board; $5,623,218 from the Governing Board; and $11,250,000 from Tampa Bay Water. This project was originally budgeted for $22.5 Million but was completed $5.7 Million under budget. The District's portion of this savings is $2.89 Million and will be reflected in the below Cost section after October 2010. Additional Information A separate agreement between the District and Starkey family required significant reductions in wellfield withdrawals at the Starkey wellfield by January 1, 2008. Originally, the project consisted of constructing a 36-inch potable water transmission main and booster station to interconnect and deliver treated water from the Cypress Creek Transmission Main along US 41 to the Maytum and Little Road water treatment plants in New Port Richey. When finished, the pipeline would convey 25 mgd of treated water to the Maytum site from the regional system, allowing for reductions in wellfield pumping. To retain rotational capacity in TBW's regional distribution system, improvements will be made in piping and filtration capacity at the Maytum WTP. When the project was initially developed, Pasco County estimated up to 30 mgd in supply from TBW would be needed at the Little Road point of connection by 2025. The County has since completed a water supply planning effort, which concluded only 13 mgd will be needed in that time frame. Also, TBW conducted a hydraulic analysis and concluded that the 2025 demands of the Maytum and Little Road points of connection could be met with the new transmission main alone, using pressure from the Cypress Creek Transmission Main and upsizing half of the pipe from 36 to 42 inches. As such, Tampa Bay Water determined that the booster station component of the project could be deferred at this time. These modifications were presented to and approved by the Pinellas-Anclote and Coastal Rivers Basin Boards and Governing Board in April 2006. Total cost for the West Pasco Infrastructure Improvement Project remains at $22.5 million. The funds allocated for construction of the booster station were reallocated towards increased construction costs for the transmission main. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 141

On December 20, 2004, TBW's Board of Directors approved a final pipeline route and booster station location. An Agreement between the District and TBW was executed in April 2005 and the project was scheduled for completion in January 2008. The Agreement was amended in April 2006, extending a task completion date and removing the booster station component from the project. Additionally, funding that was allocated for the booster station was applied toward increases in construction costs. At their June 19, 2006 Board, TBW's Board of Directors approved a construction contract for the transmission main component of the project. Transmission main construction began October 16, 2006 and was completed on December 11, 2007. Connecting the water treatment plants via transmission mains to the regional system has allowed for reductions in withdrawals from the Starkey wellfield and fulfillment of the agreement between the District and the Starkey Family. Complete project components include: the installation, disinfection and flushing of a 7-mile transmission main, conversion of the Little Road Water Treatment Plant from raw to potable water treatment and the reopening of the paved bike trail to the public. The remaining project component is the Maytum Water Treatment Plant improvements. This component consists of approval of project modifications in piping and filtration capacity that will retain rotational capacity in TBW's regional distribution system. The protocol for the Second Capacity Test, as defined in the contract, has been reviewed and approved by TBW. The testing occurred in early summer 2008 and TBW presenting the findings to District staff mid-december. The Maytum Water Treatment Plant is running between 9-10 mgd. In January 2009 capacity field trials were completed and shortly after TBW provided District staff with a status update of the plant. District staff reviewed the field trial report and has determined that the results met the intent of the contract. District staff conducted a final site visit on September 11, 2009 as part of the close-out process. ACTION-TO-DATE: Completed - Ahead of Schedule/Under Budget. The project was completed ahead of the December 31, 2009 schedule and was completed $5.7 Million under budget (District portion $2.89 M). At the request of the Office of Governor Charlie Crist, the District has been communicating regularly with the cooperator concerning the Governor's Accelerate Florida initiative to stimulate Florida's economy. An information request was sent to the cooperator on October 15, 2008. District staff followed up with an email and phone call regarding the 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 142

This new 24-inch main will connect an existing 16-inch reclaimed water transmission main on State Road 54 that will serve the New River Development (now under construction) with three existing 16-inch reclaimed water transmission mains on Handcart Road that deliver reclaimed water from the Southeast Pasco WWTF to areas to the north, south and east of the Southeast WWTF. Benefits This transmission main interconnect project will ensure an adequate means for the delivery of reclaimed water for the southeastern portions of the County, indirectly allowing offsets that will be realized within those portions of the Pasco County Reuse System where development is creating demand, and will allow later transmission/distribution of any wet weather flows diverted to the series of wet-weather storage reservoirs being constructed in Pasco County. Costs The total cost of this project is estimated to be $1,330,000. The Alafia River Basin Board budgeted $27,265 for the project in FY2006, the Coastal Rivers Basin Board budgeted $21,812 for the project in FY2006, the Hillsborough River Basin Board budgeted $68,162 for the project in FY2006, the Northwest Hillsborough Basin Board budgeted $35,444 for the project in FY2006, the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board budgeted $117,238 for the project in FY2006, the Withlacoochee River Basin Board budgeted $2,726 for the project in FY2006, and the Governing Board budgeted $272,650 for the project in FY2006. In addition to the board's FY2006 budget, $239,405 in Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Funds (WPSTF) were budgeted. The cost benefit cannot be calculated because there is no direct offset associated with this project; any benefits realized will be associated with future transmission/distribution projects this interconnect will support. Additional Information When complete, this loop will help to transport water from the Southeast and Wesley Center WWTF's to the New River, Wesley Chapel and Meadow Point developing areas and will also serve to deliver reclaimed water from the Central Regional Reclaimed Water Interconnect to the most eastern portions of the Pasco County Reuse System. This project is consistent with the District's goal for the development of regional reuse interconnects; and in conjunction with the Tampa Bay Regional Reclaimed Water and Downstream Augmentation Project will help to provide a means for moving water from the City of Tampa to impacted areas within the Northern Tampa Bay WUCA. Of the total estimated project cost of $1,330,000, design represents $133,000 (10%) and construction represents $1,197,000 (90%). Any additional funds budgeted are for District staff time for project management. The County has a water conserving rate structure making it eligible for Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Funds. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 144

The County issued notice to proceed to the design consultant (C&D Engineering) on July 25, 2006. The survey work is complete and the consultant has recommended a final route. Design documents were provided to Pasco County on August 7, 2007. Easement acquisition issues necessitated a slight change in the proposed routing of the transmission main, but this change in routing did not alter the interconnection points or the intent of the project. In addition, the county has had to request several revisions to the project's completion schedule. Most recently, the county requested that the contract period be extended from December 31, 2009, to December 31, 2011, that the commence construction date be revised from May 1, 2009, to May 1, 2010, and the complete construction date be revised from December 31, 2009, to May 1, 2011. An amendment is being processed to accommodate the county's needs. The easement acquisition issue is primarily with Progress Energy (PE). PE granted preliminary approval of the county's request to utilize its power line easement for the reclaimed water main, but has not acted with any degree of urgency in negotiating a final agreement. While the county is still pursuing an easement with PE, it has formulated contingency plans if the two parties cannot reach a final agreement, and the county is confident that no additional schedule revisions will be needed. A few other parcel owners are being engaged in the easement acquisition efforts. The engineer has submitted the preliminary offer amounts and corresponding letters to the county for review and comment. Once reviewed, the letters will be forwarded to the county's real estate manager for formal approval and then mailed to the parcel owners. The County's Real Estate Department continues to work on the offers to the affected property owners, but the county does not anticipate any problems obtaining these few remaining easements.

H055 Pasco County State Road 52 East/West Regional Reclaimed Water Interconnect Project Type WS&R Dev. AORs Water Quality Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Alternative Water Supply General Fund (District), Hillsborough River, Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River, Withlacoochee River Pasco County WRIGHT, CARL Status Ongoing Description This alternative water supply and resource development project consists of design and construction of approximately 84,480 linear feet of 24-inch and 36-inch reclaimed water transmission main from an existing 24-inch transmission main at the entrance of the Connerton Development north on U.S. Highway 41, cutting across Connerton at an angle to State Road 52, east along State Road 52, south along Old Pasco Road to Overpass Road, turning along Overpass Road and passing under I-75, and terminating approximately 1,300 feet east of I-75 (at the Boyette Wet Weather Reclaimed Water Storage Reservoir). Benefits The interconnect moves reclaimed water from an area where reclaimed water is available, but not needed, to an area where the reclaimed water is in high demand. The projected flow through this transmission main is 6 mgd, ultimately providing an offset of 3 mgd. Costs The total cost of this project is estimated to be $18,600,000 and the District's share is requested to be 50 percent, or $9,300,000. The Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River, Hillsborough River, and Withlacoochee River Basins and the Governing Board funded $3,100,000 in FY2007, and $3,720,000 in FY2008. The FY2008 contribution includes $1,240,000 in Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Funds. The Coastal Rivers and Hillsborough River Basins and the Governing Board budgeted $2,247,500 in FY2009. The Coastal Rivers, P-A River, and Withlacoochee River Basin Boards funded the remaining $852,500 in FY2010. The cost, amortized at 8 percent over 30 years, is $1.50 per thousand gallons offset. Additional Information Recently, Pasco County determined that it was in its best interest to consolidate waste water treatment plants (WWTP) on the west side of the county. The plan to consolidate WWTPs is consistent with trends within the wastewater industry, in that it greatly reduces O&M costs in the long run. Except for the treatment plant at Shady Hills scheduled for expansion, and the New Port Richey WWTP (the County owns 40% of the NPR WWTP and the City owns 60%), all remaining West Pasco WWTPs will be closed. The WWTPs to be closed include Hudson, Embassy Hills, Deer Park, and Odessa. While these plants will no longer treat wastewater, their storage and pumping facilities will remain an active and integral part of Pasco County's Master Reuse System. With Shady Hills becoming the major treatment facility in West Pasco, a more northern route is needed to transfer reclaimed water flows to north, east, and central portions of the County, and the existing Central/East Regional Reclaimed Water Interconnect project (H040) which follows a more southerly route is no longer necessary. A segment of this 36-inch transmission main will replace a 12-inch main (L436) budgeted in FY2006, but if not upsized, would create a bottleneck. It is estimated that the anticipated flow of 6 mgd annual average conveyed by this transmission main will allow the county to hook-up an additional 10,000 residential reclaimed water customers, and will provide reclaimed water flows to customers located in each of the four basins from which funding is requested. The percentage of funding requested from each basin is based upon the estimated percentage of the total benefit to be realized within each basin. The estimated benefit/funding percentages are as follows: Coastal Rivers, 10% (developments along the U.S. Highway 41 corridor); Hillsborough River 17.5% (developments in and around the Wesley Chapel area); Pinellas-Anclote, 17.5% (developments along the U.S. Highway 41 corridor, e.g., the Bexley Ranch); Withlacoochee, 5% (the Lake Jovita and San Antonio area); Governing Board, 50%. Of the total estimated project cost of $18,600,000 design represents $1,860,000 (10%) and construction represents $16,740,000 (90%). This project includes the construction of infrastructure that makes an alternative water supply available to water users, and is potentially eligible for state funding through the Water Protection Sustainability Program. The County has a water conserving rate structure making it eligible for Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Funds. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 147

Staff drafted an agreement and the cooperator provided a Scope of Work (Exhibit B). The agreement was executed February 22, 2007. The agreement was written to be effective as of October 1, 2006. Notice to Proceed with design was provided to Parsons Water and Infrastructure, Inc, on May 24, 2007. The route study is complete and design is complete. In a letter dated July 15, 2008, the County requested that many of the project milestones be extended. The county had anticipated bidding the project by November 1, 2008, with the bid to be awarded by April 1, 2009, but bidding was temporarily suspended because of difficulty in obtaining municipal bonds. The County has secured a bond and has the necessary funding in place. The Pre-Bid meeting took place on March 31, 2009, and the project has been bid, with bid opening scheduled for April 27, 2010. The County estimates that construction will be complete in October, 2011. Based upon the latest projected schedule, the County will be submitting a request to extend applicable project milestones. The total cost of this project was estimated to be $18,600,000 and the District's share was requested to be 50 percent, or $9,300,000. To date the District has encumbered $9,920,000 including $1,240,000 in WPSTF, of which $0 has been reimbursed. Per District policy, cooperators may not be reimbursed for design and construction projects until construction has commenced. This project is also included on Governor Christ's Accelerate Florida Initiative. ACTION-TO-DATE: A letter was sent to the cooperator requesting proceed as quickly as possible.

Pending completion of geotechnical investigations and an assesment of on-site materials for berm construction, the ultimate capacity of the reservoir could be increased to as much as 600 million gallons. The actual capacity to be constructed will be determined during the design phase of the project. The Boyette Mine property is located immediately to the east of Boyette Road between Elam Road (north side) and Overpass Road (south side), approximately one-mile northeast of the Wesley Center Wastewater Treatment Facility. The project will enable the county to supply up to 5,500 additional residential customers with reclaimed water who currently have had to rely on ground-water sources when dry-weather flows were not available. Benefits This project provides for the beneficial use of wet-weather reclaimed water flows, typically disposed of via rapid infiltration basins (RIBs). The project is expected to supply an annual average of 3.3 mgd with an annual average offset of 1.65 mgd. Costs The total cost of the project was originally estimated to be $18,550,000 and the District's agreed to fund 50 percent, or $9,275,000. The basin boards and Governing Board funded $3,000,000 in FY2007, and $2,684,450 in FY2008. The FY2008 contribution includes $284,450 in Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Funds. The Coastal Rivers and Hillsborough River Basins and the Governing Board budgeted $2,799,582 in FY2009. The Coastal Rivers and P-A River Basin Boards budgeted the remaining $933,193 in FY2010. The cost, amortized at 8 percent over 30 years, is $1.50 per thousand gallons offset. Due to anticipated cost increases, Pasco County may submit an application for additional funding in FY2011. Additional Information The Boyette Mine site is within the geographic boundaries of the Hillsborough River Basin. Pasco County acquired this 140-acre property with the intent of converting it to a reclaimed water storage site. The reservoir itself will occupy 100 acres. It is the second project in Pasco County's overall plan to store and beneficially reuse wet-weather reclaimed water flows (the first project is H305). Of the total estimated project cost of $18,550,000, design represents $1,541,000 (8%) and construction represents $17,009,000 (92%). The Pasco County Wet-Weather Reclaimed Water Reservoir-Boyette Project is both a core project of the Regional Project and the second phase of Pasco County's overall plan to store surplus reclaimed water. The County has a water conserving rate structure making it eligible for Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Funds. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 149

The agreement was written to be effective as of October 1, 2006. King Engineering was selected to design the project. While design indicates that the total storage capacity of the reservoir could be increased from 400 million gallons to as much as 600 million gallons, the County has not yet decided if a capacity increase is financially worthwhile and will not be able to determine if the final capacity will be increased from the proposed 400 million gallons until the construction bid is issued and the construction bids are opened. In order to avoid the same type of unexpected problems which plagued the Land O' Lakes Reclaimed Water Reservoir project (H305), the County contracted with a geotechnical firm to further study the Boyette site and submit a geotechnical design. The geotechnical design is complete, and the County had it reviewed by three (3) additional geotechnical experts. The County has applied for but not yet received an environmental resource permit (ERP) from FDEP needed to construct the project. The County has met with FDEP in responding to two requests for additional information (RAI). In a letter dated June 20, 2008, the County requested an extension of the commence construction date from February 1, 2008, to January 1, 2010, and the complete construction date from January 31, 2009, to August 11, 2011. These dates were dependent upon obtaining an environmental resources permit from FDEP. The County recently received a third request for additional information and responded on April 2, 2010. The County has secured a bond so it has its share of the necessary funding in place, and will be able to bid the project as soon as the ERP is issued. Because of problems encountered in obtaining an ERP, the County recently changed consultants from King Engineering to C & D Engineering and now hopes to bid the project by May 1, 2010, with bid opening scheduled for June 15, 2010, and construction commencing by September 1, 2010. The County anticipates that construction will take approximately 24 months, and be complete in September, 2012. Based upon the latest projected schedule, the County will be submitting a request to extend applicable project milestones.

H065 Tampa Bay Water's System Configuration II Project Project Type WS&R Dev. AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply General Fund (District), Alafia River, Hillsborough River, Northwest Hillsborough, Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River, Withlacoochee River Tampa Bay Water GOODWIN, AUDRIE ARMSTRONG, BRIAN, RAMOY, ALISON Proposed Description The System Configuration II project consists of various project components that build on Tampa Bay Water's existing Enhanced Surface Water System to provide an additional 25 mgd of alternative water supply. The anticipated final completion of the project is December 2011. Benefits Development of the System Configuration II Project will provide the pumpage, transmission, and treatment capacity to produce an additional 25 mgd to the regional system that will enable future demands to be met using non-ground-water sources. This will ensure that recovery of natural systems impacted by groundwater withdrawals in the region can be achieved. Costs The total cost of constructing the System Configuration II Project is estimated at $254,971,221. Of this amount, $232,000,000 has been determined to be eligible for reimbursement through the District's Cooperative Program. Tampa Bay Water has requested the District fund 50 percent or up to $116,000,000 of total eligible project costs. The District's and Tampa Bay Water's share of the project was reduced to $105,121,573 each, as a result of $21,756,854 in state funding that was secured ($15,506,854 from Water Protection and Sustainability Program trust funds and $6,250,000 from the Community Budget Issue Request). In their FY2011 request, Tampa Bay Water requested the remaining budgeted amount of $850,194 ($759,982 from the Governing Board and $90,212 from the Withlacoochee River Basin). The future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the District Basin and Governing Boards in the annual budget(s). Additional Information In 2005, Tampa Bay Water determined that the permitted capacity of their regional potable water supply system will be exceeded in 2011. In order to meet demand beyond 2011, Tampa Bay Water decided to move forward with the System Configuration II project. Tampa Bay Water originally proposed to meet their water supply needs beyond 2011 through the downstream augmentation component of the TBRRAP project (H300-H310). The downstream augmentation component was eliminated from the project as a result of permitting difficulties. However, many of the elements necessary for downstream augmentation, such as expansion of the surface water treatment plant and Tampa Bypass Canal intakes, will also be necessary for the System Configuration II project. As a result of these developments, the Tampa Bay Water Board voted to move forward with the System Configuration II project at their October 2006 meeting. The System Configuration II project will develop additional capacity in Tampa Bay Water's Enhanced Surface Water System to withdraw and treat water during periods of higher flow from the Hillsborough River and Tampa Bypass Canal. A number of regional system components will be expanded as part of this project, including the surface water treatment plant and the Tampa Bypass Canal Pump Station. These improvements will enable the higher surface water flows from the Hillsborough River and Tampa Bypass Canal to be captured, and will increase the use of Tampa Bay Water's C.W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir. Four system interconnect components are also included in the System Configuration II project. These will provide delivery of alternative water supplies from the regional system to member governments of Tampa Bay Water. Upon completion, the project will develop a total of 25 mgd of new water supply. Two of the system interconnect projects were previously approved by the District for funding: The South Central Hillsborough Interconnect was partially funded in FY2007 by the Governing Board, Alafia River and Hillsborough River Basin Boards. The Northwest Hillsborough Interconnect was also partially funded in FY2007 by the Governing Board and Northwest Hillsborough Basin Board. The amounts previously budgeted by the Board and Basins for those projects were transferred to this project and the amounts credited towards their respective project costs. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 152

The project, when completed in 2011, is expected to provide up to 25 million gallons per day (mgd) of alternative water to the regional system. The project cooperative funding agreement was executed on May 1, 2007 with a contract period beginning on October 1, 2005 and ending December 31, 2012. Shortly after the contract execution, TBW received approval of its Water Use Permit (June 2007). 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 project components are primarily associated with the construction of improvements to the regional systems treatment, transmission, and storage infrastructure. On January 31, 2008, Phase IB of the South-Central Hillsborough Infrastructure Project was completed. The purpose of Phase IB is to provide potable water from the regional surface water treatment plant to TBW's Brandon/South Central Hillsborough service area and add yard piping improvements at the Lithia Water Treatment Plant. ACTION-TO-DATE: On-time. Overall, the System Configuration II project is running on schedule for its 2011 completion date. Design is complete for all project components. Furthermore, one project component is complete (design and construction) and the remaining nine project components are in construction or the pre-construction phase. Major activities are described below. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 153

H067 Pasco County Design & Construction of Shady Hills WWTF/SR-52 Regional Reclaimed Water Interconnect Project Type WS&R Dev. AORs Water Quality Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Alternative Water Supply Hillsborough River, Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River Pasco County WRIGHT, CARL Status Proposed Description This alternative water supply project consists of the design and construction of a five (5) million gallon reclaimed water storage tank, reclaimed water pump station, and approximately 22,800 linear feet of reclaimed water transmission main, originally proposed as 24-inch but upsized to 36-inch during the design phase, to interconnect the Shady Hills WWTF with the State Road 52 East/West Regional Reclaimed Water Interconnect, which is currently under design (King Engineering). This project includes the construction of infrastructure that makes an alternative water supply available to water users, and is potentially eligible for state funding through the Water Protection & Sustainability Trust Fund. Benefits This project would allow transmission of reclaimed water flows produced at the Shady Hills WWTF to central and eastern portions of Pasco County. Some reclaimed water flows are currently being sent to rapid infiltration basins (RIBs) in the Hudson and Embassy Hills area for lack of adequate west to east transmission capacity. Because these flows could be sent to central and eastern portions of the county and beneficially reused, this project provides potential offset. The county estimates that the flow from the expanded Shady Hills WWTF and redirected flows from other WWTFs being decomissioned in West Pasco will total 9 mgd at the onset and increase to 21 mgd at buildout. Based on the assumption that the initial flows will primarily be used for residential irrigation, either immediately or after seasonal storage in wet-weather rerservoirs the offset will be 50%, or 4.5 mgd. Additionally, Pasco County has proposed two potential created wetland projects using reclaimed water, one in the Coastal Rivers Basin and the other in the Hillsborough River Basin. This transmission main segment is a critical element in providing the necessary flows for either of these created wetlands, which will play a role in rehydration of areas stressed by well field pumpage. Any flow used for natural systems restoration yields 100% offset. Costs The total cost of the project was originally estimated to be $7,400,000 and the District has agreed to fund 50 percent, or $3,700,000. The Coastal Rivers, Hillsborough River and Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Boards and Governing Board funded $2,146,000 in FY2008. The FY2008 contribution includes $592,000 in Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Funds. (FY2008: Coastal Rivers $259,000 AV/$98,666 WPSTF/$357,666 Total; Hillsborough River $259,000 AV/$98,666 WPSTF/$357,666 Total; P-A $259,000 AV/$98,666 WPSTF/$357,667 Total; Gov Board $776,999 AV/$296,002 WPSTF/$1,073,001 Total) The Basin Boards and Governing Board budgeted the remaining $1,850,000 in FY2009 (FY2009: Coastal Rivers $308,333, Hillsborough River $308,334, P-A $308,334, Gov Board $924,999). Pasco County staff notified the District project manager that a revised estimate of the project's total cost is $15,200,000, due to necessary pipeline upsizing from 24-inch diameter to 36-inch diameter, determined as necessary during the design phase of the project. Pasco County has submitted a Cooperative Initiative application requesting that the District increase its contribution by $3,900,000 to help cover the cost of increasing the pipeline's diameter, bringing the total project cost to $15,500,000. District staff is recommending that the Coastal Rivers, Hillsborough River, and Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Boards each contribute $162,500 and the Governing Board contribute $487,500 toward the increased project costs, for a total FY2011 contribution of $975,000, leaving a balance of $3,561,513 to be funded in FY2012 or future fiscal years. Any additional funding will be contingent upon inclusion in the boards' budgets in future fiscal years. The cost/benefit, based on the original estimated total project cost of $7,400,000 amortized at 8 percent over 30 years is $4.49 per thousand gallons offset. The cost/benefit, based on the revised total project cost of $15,500,000 and increased flow/offset (from capturing volumes currently being disposed in RIBs) drops to $.83 per thousand gallons offset. Additional Information This transmission main segment will facilitate the county's ability to provide reclaimed water flows to such developments as Connerton and Bexley Ranch on U.S. Hwy 41 in the Land O' Lakes area, and to Wiregrass, Watergrass, and Meadowpointe in the Wesley Chapel area. Pasco County recently decided to consolidate wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) operations, and plans to shut down and of its west county WWTFs except for the jointly 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 155
H067 Pasco County Design & Construction of Shady Hills WWTF/SR-52 Regional Reclaimed Water Interconnect owned and operated New Port Richey WWTF, and the county-owned Shady Hills WWTF. The capacity of the Shady Hills WWTF is being expanded to 14 mgd, and will become the primary WWTF for West Pasco. Because most of its existing reclaimed water customers as well as most of its new customers are located in Central and East Pasco, transmission capacity to convey reclaimed water produced at the Shady Hills WWTF to the central and eastern portions of the county became a priority. In FY2007, the District provided first year funding for a 24-inch transmission main from US Highway 41 along State Road 52 to the Wesley Center WWTF (State Road 52 East/West Regional Reclaimed Water Interconnect). The county has a water conserving rate structure making it eligible for Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Funds. Of the total estimated project cost of $7,400,000, design represents $740,000 (10%) and construction represents $6,660,000 (90%). Any additional funds budgeted are for District staff time for project management.

Initial design is essentially complete. The County has secured a bond and the necessary funding is in place. FDOT permitting is nearing completion, and gopher tortoise mitigation along the pipelines route is underway. The County is acquiring needed easements, and should be able to bid the project as soon as the easements are procured. The County was planning to bid the project on February 15, 2010, with bid opening scheduled for April 15, 2010, and construction commencing on June 15, 2010. The County anticipates that construction will take approximately 18 months, and be complete in October, 2011. However, the County has encountered some difficulty with land/easement acquisition with no workarounds. The County is in the process of evaluating counter-offers from property owners, and has hired a private company, Florida Acquisitions and Appraisals, Inc. to assist in the process. One private property easement remains to be obtained. The County is also 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 156
H067 Pasco County Design & Construction of Shady Hills WWTF/SR-52 Regional Reclaimed Water Interconnect negotiating an agreement with Pinellas County to use an existing Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative easement on property owned by Pinellas County. Based upon the latest projected schedule, the County will be submitting a request to extend the complete construction project milestones. To date the District has encumbered $3,996,000 including $592,000 in Water Protection and Sustainability Trust Funds, of which $0 has been reimbursed. District staff is working with County staff to evaluate the funding increase requested by the County for FY2011, and is recommending that the balance be funded over two fiscal years, 2011 and 2012. An amendment to the agreement reflecting the incresed project cost is being drafted. Per District policy, cooperators may not be reimbursed for design and construction projects until construction has commenced. This project is also included on Governor Christ's Accelerate Florida Initiative. ACTION-TO-DATE: A letter was sent to the cooperator requesting proceed as quickly as possible. The project has been delayed by the County's inability to obtain municipal bond funding. Delays in issuance of permits from both FDEP and the Corps of Engineers has also hampered this project. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 157

AORs Water Quality Water Supply Natural Systems Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Regional Water Supply Planning Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River Pasco County MAYER, RICHARD Status Ongoing Description This is a project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Anclote River (South and Sandy Branches) Watershed in the South Pasco Wellfield Improvement Area. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs (including immediate maintenance) and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area approximately 40 square miles and is located in Pasco County south of State Road 54, and east of the Sierra Pines development. The South Pasco Wellfield property is within this watershed. The property consists primarily of wetlands, and is part of the Tampa Bay Water's water supply system. Issues addressed by this project are regional (water supply), and intermediate (flood protection, water quality and natural systems). The project will evaluate BMPs that will enhance wetland hydrology, natural systems and water supply, and reduce flooding in Sierra Pines. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance and adding storage within the improvement area. The stormwater management storage area will improve water quality by removing sediments and pollutants from the stormwater runoff. Costs The projected cost for this project is $750,000, of which the District's and County's share is $375,000. The probable construction costs are based on a preliminary BMP analysis developed by the cooperator. The District funding amount shown in the table includes staff salaries. Future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the Basin Board in the annual budget. When each element is completed the projected cost may require refinement based on information gathered and unforeseen circumstances. In FY2009 $62,500 was included in the Basin's budget, and $62,500 from the Governing Board General fund, with the County contributing $125,000. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation, Watershed Management Plan, Implementation of BMPs, and Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District' Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. With prior year funding from Pasco County, Project L733, the Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements are being completed. The District has been working with the County for several years through the Watershed Management Program Coordination Document to develop a five year implementation schedule by watershed based on their projected funding levels, and any funding available from others, for example FEMA or State appropriations. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the County will be developed for Implementation of BMPs. The County will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 158

The recharge component of the study will build on the results of the District's Regional Reclaimed Water Partnership Initiative - Recharge Study (H076) and perform the next detailed phase of work including site specific planning and preliminary engineering of the potable water infrastructure required. Results from this study will aid Tampa Bay Water's Board to determine if these water supply options are viable and whether further analysis should be performed. The study will be shared with Polk County as per an approved Memorandum of Understanding between Polk County and Tampa Bay Water, and opportunities will be explored to see if an economy of scale is achievable. Benefits Development of the Surface Water Enhancement and Recharge Study Project will investigate Tampa Bay Water's options to provide an additional 20 mgd in surface water, and other alternative water supplies in the SWUCA. The study will also evaluate the storage of the water supply in a second regional reservoir. Additional storage and use of alternative water supplies will allow Tampa Bay Water to continue their reduction of groundwater pumping and allow the impacted natural systems of Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas County to continue their recovery. Potential benefits of injected (direct) recharge are barriers to saltwater intrusion, improved Upper Floridan aquifer water levels, and potential opportunities for additional groundwater withdrawals. The potential benefits associated with indirect recharge, or Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIB), in Pasco County are the availability of significant recharged quantities for future additional groundwater withdrawals. Costs As presented in Tampa Bay Water's FY2011 Cooperative Initiative Application, the total project cost is $5 Million with an allocated FY2010 cost of $2.5 Million, proposed FY2011 cost of $1,100,000 and proposed Future of $1,400,000. Based on ongoing discussions, however, it was decided to separate the surface water and recharge tasks; therefore, funding for the recharge portion of the study will be deferred to future fiscal years. The future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the District Basin and Governing Boards in the annual budget(s). Additional Information The District conducted a study on direct and indirect recharge as part of the District's Regional Reclaimed Water Partnership Initiative Project (RRWPIP) (H076). The study, "The Feasibility of Using Reclaimed Water For Direct and Indirect Aquifer Recharge in the Tampa Bay Area," was completed on March 31, 2009 and included (1) assessing permitting and treatment requirements; (2) quantifying water level improvements resulting from aquifer recharge and the subsequent amounts of groundwater withdrawals that may potentially be available; and (3) performing cost analyses of selected options. Findings from the study indicate that it is possible to develop direct and indirect aquifer recharge projects to improve Upper Floridan aquifer (UFA) water levels and provide opportunities for additional groundwater withdrawals. Direct aquifer recharge was found to be most optimally located in coastal areas where the native aquifer water quality is poor and permitting requirements are less stringent than in more inland areas. Indirect aquifer recharge (RIB) would be most beneficially located in ridge areas such as the Lake Wales Ridge where the surficial sands are thick and a good connection to the underlying UFA exists. Depending on the location, potentially up to 90 percent of recharged quantities could be available for future additional groundwater withdrawals. Tampa Bay Water's proposed investigation of aquifer recharge options will build off of the District's efforts to provide a more detailed analysis including detailed planning, hydrologic modeling and preliminary engineering. This information will in turn help TBW's board decide the potential future implementation of the Surface Water Enhancement and Recharge Study Project. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 160

This is the first year of a multi-year project and includes initial feasibility, advanced feasibility, design and permitting for the required infrastructure improvements. Pasco County began an initial feasibility study in FY 2010 in the Crews Lake area, and the Hillsborough River Basin Board approved funding for an expansion of this project (using FY 2010 funds) to expand the project into other areas of central Pasco County. The project will investigate the feasibility of applying reclaimed water to constructed wetland systems and/or infiltration basins in central Pasco County to help raise groundwater and surface-water levels that have been historically depressed due to regional ground-water withdrawals. Variations of this approach have been employed before in natural and constructed wetlands throughout Florida, leading to improved wildlife usage, restored water levels, and natural treatment of effluent. Benefits If this project is found to be feasible and is constructed, the facility would provide additional water for impacted water resources in the Upper Hillsborough River and Coastal Rivers watersheds, including the aquifers, wetlands and flow systems. The facility may also provide additional wetland habitat, recreational facilities, and reclaimed water disposal opportunities for Pasco County. Costs The Hillsborough River Basin Board has approved $98,382 for FY2010 to expand Pasco County's ongoing feasibility study. The cost for the next phase of the project is $500,000, and is proposed for FY 2011. This cost will be divided equally between the District and Pasco County. The cost of future work has not yet been determined.

Specifically, the water management districts were directed to complete a district-wide water supply assessment by July 1, 1998. Further, the districts were to develop regional water supply plans for regions where demands are expected to exceed available supplies by 2020. The SWFWMD regional water supply plan encompasses a ten-county area extending from Pasco County in the north to Charlotte County in the south. This region encompasses the northern Tampa Bay region and the Southern Water Use Caution area. The regional water supply plan includes the following elements: (1) projected water demands for all use sectors through 2020, (2) available existing sources, (3) projected deficits in available supplies, (4) minimum flows and levels, (5) recovery and prevention strategies, (6) water supply development options, (7) water resource development options, (8) five-year work plan for water resource development projects, and (9) funding mechanisms and project schedules for selected projects. Projected water needs increase from 1.4 billion gallons per day (bgd) in 2000 to 1.67 bgd in 2020, a 19 percent increase.

K394 Clearwater - Imp. BMPs Stevensons Creek Watershed Lake Bellevue Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River City of Clearwater MAYER, RICHARD Status Ongoing Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Stevensons Creek Watershed. This project includes BMP implementation in the various improvement areas. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 10 square miles and is located in western Pinellas County and includes the cities of Clearwater and Dunedin. The watershed has a history of flooding problems and water quality is a concern due to erosion of the creek that produces sediment that is transported downstream and deposited into Clearwater Harbor, an Outstanding Florida Water Body and State Aquatic Preserve. This project addresses these issues by adding flood storage to reduce peak discharges, and water quality treatment in each improvement area. The proposed BMPs will address level of service deficiencies. Benefits Implementing the BMPs included in this project will reduce erosion, and provide improved flood protection and water quality. Costs The projected cost for this project is $8,764,141.02, of which the District's share is $3,500,560, and the City will contribute $5,263,581.02. The probable construction costs for this project are based on a BMP alternative analysis developed by the cooperator during the District funded Watershed Management Plan, and were recently updated. This will complete the project funding requirements, but additional funding will be needed in other improvement areas. The District funding amounts shown in the table below includes staff salaries and $1,003,111 that was a budget transfer to L554, the Turner Street Connector. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. With prior year funding the Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements were completed by the County, but not to the District's standards. The City, with funding assistance from the District and FDEP, is implementing projects selected in the BMP alternative analysis. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with County has been developed for this project. The City is managing the implementation in each improvement area, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. The total amount the Basin Board has funded for BMP Implementation to date, including this project, and the project proposed in FY2007 is $6,250,560. BMP implementation in two Improvement Areas, Palmetto Street, and Glen Oaks have been completed. Lake Bellvue construction will begin next year, Turner Street Connector - L554 was funded in FY2006, and Spring Branch - L701 was funded in FY2007. The Turner Street Connector, Spring Branch, and BMP implementation in other improvement areas are being managed using different project numbers corresponding to the location of the improvement area. To find information about the other projects refer to PIMS entry for the project number referenced above. Future funding will be required for implementing BMPs in other Improvements areas within the Stevensons Creek Watershed. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 167

The County will use the information collected through water quality modeling to serve as a tool to identify and prioritize watershed improvement projects that will restore impaired waterbodies and reduce or alleviate drainage problems and flooding. The Cross Bayou Canal watershed is located in south-central Pinellas County and covers an area of approximately 12.2 square miles. The Cross Bayou Canal is 10.5 miles long, traverses the watershed, and connects to both Old Tampa Bay and Boca Ciega Bay on the northeastern and southwestern ends, respectively. Canal water can flow in either direction depending upon tides, but normally water from the north and south halves of the Canal does not mix. The primary issues in the Cross Bayou Canal watershed are water quality related. The canal is a point source for pollutants entering Boca Ciega Bay and Old Tampa Bay (a SWIM waterbody). The watershed is highly urbanized and has a problem with point source and non-point source pollution. Included in the diagnostic phase is the identification of property necessary for capital improvement projects. Benefits This project will identify specific best management practices for implementation to improve water quality within the watershed and ultimately for Boca Ciega Bay and Tampa Bay. Costs The total project cost is $600,000 with Pinellas County and the District each contributing half ($300,000). The District's share is funded entirely by the Pinellas-Anclote Basin. Future funding will be needed for construction. District funds shown in the table include salaries. Additional Information The goals of this project are consistent with both the District's SWIM plan and the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP).

On 2/20/2006, Pinellas County suspended B&H because of lack of performance on the project. The County and B&H agreed to allow B&H to subcontract the remainder of the project to Jones Edmunds and Associates (JEA). JEA commenced working on the project and the District received a digital terrain model (DTM) for review. As of June 14, 2005 (i.e., the most recent payment), the District has reimbursed the County a total of $165,701. The remaining District balance is $131,789. A meeting was held on August 10, 2007 with Pinellas County, JEA and Staff to discuss the progress of the project, pertinent project issues and the project schedule. The project was put on hold indefinitely due to contract negotiations between Consultant and Pinellas County. A formal complaint was filed by GPI against B&H on August 11, 2008 requesting damages for the defendants breach of contractual duties under an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement dated October 27, 2006. An amendment to the agreement to extend the expiration date to December 31, 2012 to allow the County sufficient time to complete the project was executed on February 25, 2009. In an effort to complete the project, Pinellas County advertised an RFP and JEA was chosen to complete the project. The County approved moving forward with the project July 7, 2009. The County is currently finalizing the Scope of Work with the Consultant. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 170

Benefits The Reclaimed Water Master Plan suggests that additional short term and seasonal storage, system optimization, and demand management improvements will allow the City to expand it's customer base from it's current 9,577 customers to 14,200 by the year 2020. This project will provide monitoring and coordinated control of each WRF from a central location and will utilize operational strategies that will allow the four treatment facilities to operate as single integrated reclaimed water supplier. Costs The original total project cost was $9,655,000, with a District's share of $4,827,500. is based on multi-year request by the cooperator, of which $2,452,500 was originally requested in FY2003. The first amendment reduced the total project cost to $9,320,000, with a District's share of $4,660,000. The second amendment reduced the total project cost to $9,000,000, with a District's share of $4,500,000. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved $2,207,500 in FY2008. An additional $779,000 has been allocated in FY2008 from the Water Protection and Sustainability Program Trust Fund, reducing the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's FY2008 share to $1,818,000. Additional Information In response to a Cooperative Initiative request from the City of St. Petersburg, the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved the initial year funding of this project as part of their FY2003 budget. Originally, the project included a second ground storage tank; however, during the design of the project the City's consultant determined that the Northwest Tank portion of the project will not be necessary. The City requested and was granted a first amendment, which reduced the scope and budget for the project. Due to recent significant modifications to the City's Capital Improvement Program, the City requested a second amendment to the agreement to eliminate the NWWRF pump station pipe modifications from the project scope. The elimination of the pump station improvements will not affect the benefit of the project. It was recently determined that, while the NWWRF pump station improvements would have provided the city with additional operational flexibility, it is not necessary since the SCADA system will provide balance and management of the entire system. The City has retained McKim & Creed as their consultant for this project. The cost/benefit of this project is not calculated as offsets will be associated with the future transmission projects these storage and pumping facilities will support. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 173

The tank will provide additional storage capacity for future system expansions to the City's reclaimed water distribution system. The additional storage will also assist in serving existing customers during dry months. Benefits The project will provide additional storage capacity for future system expansions to the City's reclaimed water distribution system and will allow the City to effectively manage diurnal and seasonal reclaimed water supply shortages, thereby enabling the City to increase the number of reclaimed water customers. Costs The total cost of this project is estimated to be $1,350,000, of which the District budgeted a 50% funding commitment of $675,000 in FY2004. The cost-benefit of the project is not calculated, since the project addresses system storage and efficiency, any offsets will be associated with future related transmission projects. Additional Information This project is related to an existing FY2003 cooperative funding storage feasibility project (K840) which determined the size, type and location of this storage facility. The City is currently utilizing an annual average of more than 50 percent of their available reclaimed water and is experiencing severe supply shortages during the dry season. The goal of this project is to provide the greatest reclaimed water storage volume per dollar to promote conservation of groundwater resources and minimize discharge of treated wastewater effluent to the Anclote River. The original agreement specified a storage tank of up to a 3 mg, and the City determined that a 2.5 mg storage tank would be constructed. The FY2004 and FY2005 basin board funding amounts include funding for the District project manager's salary. Of the total project cost, $1,222,000 is needed for construction, and $128,000 for design.

L054 Clearwater - Imp. BMPs Alligator Creek Watershed Channel A Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River City of Clearwater MAYER, RICHARD Status Completed Description This is a project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Alligator Creek Watershed. The BMPs will be implemented in the Alligator Creek Channels A and G improvement areas. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 9 square miles and is located in Pinellas County, Safety Harbor and the City of Clearwater. Land uses within the watershed are predominately low-density residential with an urban mix. Approximately 80% of the watershed has been developed, and much of the development took place prior to the implementation of current regulations. Developments are constructed within the floodplain, and tributaries experience moderate to sever erosion. This project will address these issues by improving the channel capacity, regrading the channel cross section, realigning the channel center line, and applying channel side slope protective measures. The proposed BMPs will address level of service deficiencies. Benefits Implementing the BMPs included in this project will reduce erosion. Costs The total budget amount for this project is $5,000,000, of which the District's share is $2,500,000. The County will contribute $2,500,000. Thus far the City has either spent or is under contract for $1,462,098 for BMP implementation. The City has decided, in light of the current economy, to delay implementation of the rest of the BMPs included in the cooperative funding agreement. The total budgeted amount will be reduced to $1,462,098, with contribution by the City and the District reduced to $731,049 each. The remaining funds budgeted by the District, $1,768,951 will be balanced forward to the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: Topographic information, Watershed Evaluation, Watershed Management Plan, Implementation of BMPs, and Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies. The Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements have been completed by the County, but not to the District's standards. The Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation, and Watershed Management Plan elements were funded in 1997 and have been completed, and the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County have been implementing BMPs in many areas within the watershed. Funds budgeted in FY2004 and FY2005 are being used to complete the implementation of the BMPs in Channels A and G, as prioritized in the BMP alternative analysis. The City will complete the design and permitting phases for Erosion Control Measures in Channel G, but the District is providing funding assistance with construction of BMPs in Channel G. The City will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 177

The watershed covers a total area of approximately 46 square miles and is located in Pinellas County. The watershed management plan will be used to address flood protection and water quality issues. Topographic information includes the acquisition of data and development of the terrain features in the Geodatabase to be used in the Watershed Evaluation. The Watershed Evaluation includes collection of existing data, GIS processing of the terrain features to establish catchments and connectivity, field reconnaissance, refinement of the terrain features and development of the hydraulic element point features. The Watershed Management Plan element includes: development of watershed parameters for a specific use, GIS processing, computer modeling, floodplain and water quality analysis, peer review, public notification/meeting, surface water resource assessment, establishment of LOS, and BMP alternative analysis. Prior funding was for the development of Digital Topographic Information and performance of the Watershed Evaluation and Watershed Management Plan elements. This project will incorporate information from previous and ongoing watershed modeling efforts in the Hillsborough County area of Brooker Creek and Double Branch Creeks. These models will be expanded to include the entire Brooker Creek watershed and the interconnection to Double Branch Creek, providing a comprehensive model for making management decisions for these watersheds. Benefits The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments with their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service, develops Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies, and provides a geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain and water quality management. Costs The current projected cost for this project $902,356, of which the District's and County's share is $451,178 each. The current budgeted amount will complete the funding requirement for this project. The District funding amounts shown in the table includes staff salaries. Additional Information The Watershed Management Program (WMP) includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of Best Management Practices, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. A cooperative funding revenue agreement with the County was developed as a multi-year funded project, FY2004 and FY2005, to complete the WMP elements through the Watershed Management Plan. The District is managing the project and has entered into an agreement with a consultant to accomplish project tasks. When each element is completed the project budget is refined based on the information gathered. Future cooperative funding requests and agreements will be required for the Implementation of BMPs and Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 179

Teachers receive monthly information packets, email updates, informative newsletters, professional growth workshops, field experiences, site visits, conference calls and access to the Suncoast Earth Force web site. Program participants from Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties learn how to obtain watershed information, what public policies and community practices impact their watershed and how to take effective action to improve their watersheds. Students, working with their teachers, gain knowledge and skills. They then use those skills to complete student-identified, hands-on projects to benefit Tampa Bay's water resources. Teachers from Title 1 schools (significant numbers of students receiving free and reduced lunches) are targeted, with an average of 52 percent of participants falling into this category. A new high school career summit will further engage participating high school classrooms with information about environmental and water-related careers opportunities. Each program component will be evaluated using an appropriate method, including pre/posttests, teacher and student surveys. Benefits This project enhances the District's watershed education efforts by enabling elementary, middle and high school students and educators to learn about local watershed issues in a comprehensive manner. The aim of the program is to move beyond "one-shot deal" action, such as cleanup days, to action that leads to more sustainable solutions. The program includes inner-city middle and high schools, enabling more diverse audiences to study environmental issues and propose their own solutions. The FY2010 project is projected to reach 1,200 students, 40 classroom teachers, 40 school principals (approval and participation required) and 200 volunteers throughout Pinellas and Hillsborough counties and parts of Pasco County. Costs The total cost of the FY2010 project is $354,800, with the District contributing $73,000 (Hillsborough River $30,660; Alafia River $8,030; Pinellas-Anclote River $34,310). District funds will be used to provide mini-grants for watershed-related projects, supplies and transportation for the annual youth summit, two teacher training programs, project administration and a new career summit. The dollar amount allocated for each contributing Basin Board is determined by the breakdown in participating schools within each basin. This program is projected to reach 1,488 students/teachers at a cost to the District of $49 per person. Budget lines below include costs to manage the project. Additional Information The total FY2009 project cost was $155,324, with the District contributing $73,000 (Hillsborough River $20,440; Northwest Hillsborough $10,220; Alafia River $8,030; Pinellas-Anclote River $34,310). District funding is used to provide grants for watershed-related projects, supplies and transportation for the annual youth summit, two teacher training programs and project administration.

In addition to the board's budget, a total of $600,000 in Water Protection and Sustainability Program Trust Funds (WPSPTF) were budgeted in FY2006 ($400,000) and FY2007 ($200,000). Of the total project cost ($4,000,000), approximately 84 percent ($3,340,000) is expected to be needed for construction, and the remainder for design and administration. Additional Information The original Agreement scope and funding was reduced by amendment as during design it was discovered that much of the original offsets were related to non-potable quality water. At project build-out the City anticipates serving up to 460 customers, however immediate project benefits are related to only the initial 289 customers. The Second Amendment (modifying the scope, funding, and timeline) was fully executed February 11, 2009. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 187

L261 Implementation of BMPs in the Alligator Creek Watershed - Channel "B" Area III Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Emergency Flood Response Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County NORTON, NANCY Status Ongoing Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the Implementation of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Alligator Creek Watershed. This BMP will be implemented in the Channel "B" improvement area. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 9 square miles and is located in Pinellas County, Safety Harbor, and the City of Clearwater. Land uses within the watershed are predominately low-density residential with an urban mix. Approximately 80% of the watershed has been developed, and much of the development took place prior to the implementation of current regulations. Developments are constructed within the floodplain and tributaries experience moderate to severe erosion. To address this issue, initially the County proposed a Stormwater Management Storage Area (SMSA) as well as a box culvert and swales to replace an existing ditch between Sunset Point Road and Evans. During permit evaluation, it was concluded that the SMSA would not provide additional improvements and was not recommended. Benefits Implementing the BMPs included in this project will reduce erosion by protecting existing creek side slopes from excessive sloughing and sediment transport, slowing velocities and providing storage to eliminate adjacent property flooding. Costs The total budget amount for this project is $5,134,100. The County will contribute $2,567,050. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin's contribution is $2,214,200, and $352,850 will come from the Water Protection & Sustainability Trust Fund (Surface Water Restoration). No FY2008 or FY2009 funds were requested. The District funding amounts shown in the table below includes staff salaries. When each element is completed the project budget may require refinement. The probable construction costs for this project are based on the BMP alternative analysis developed with the Watershed Management Plan in 1997, and recently updated by Pinellas County. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) collection of topographic information, 2) watershed evaluation, 3) watershed management plan, 4) implementation of BMPs, and 5) maintenance of watershed parameters and models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies. The Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements, funded in FY1997, have been completed, but not according to District Guidelines and Specifications. With prior year funding in FY2005 and FY2006 the design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection are being completed. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the County has been developed as a multi-year funded project contingent on the approval of future funding to complete the implementation of BMPs. This is a multi-year funded project that will require a cooperative funding request each fiscal year until completed. The County will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 189

BMPs Bee Branch Watershed Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County MAYER, RICHARD Status Ongoing Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Bee Branch Channel Improvement Area. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. The Smith Bayou Watershed covers an area of approximately 3.4 square miles and is located in Palm Harbor, an unincorporated area in northern Pinellas County. Formerly a natural channel, Bee Branch has been severely impacted by adjacent development that has constrained its conveyance way and increased the discharge rate and volume. The creek traverses an area with a fine sand and has deeply eroded its stream bed and banks, lowering the bed 10 or more feet and creating steep unstable side slopes of unconsolidated sands. These conditions have resulted in extensive erosion property damage (especially in the Allen's Ridge Subdivision), tree loss, and heavy sediment transport, with deposition in downstream channel and into St. Joseph's Sound. These conditions are being addressed by construction of approximately 6,000 feet of box culvert with a grass swale immediately above it. The box culvert will convey peak flows from extreme storm events to reduce erosion, and the swale will carry local runoff and provide water quality treatment. The proposed BMPs will address level of service deficiencies. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the improvement area. Costs The projected cost for this project is $6,084,850, of which the District's and County's share is $3,042,425 each. The probable construction costs for this project are based on a BMP alternative analysis developed the cooperator. In prior years the Basin budgeted $2,653,125, and the County budgeted the same amount for this project. Future funding is needed to complete the project. The District funding amounts shown in the table below includes staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. With prior year funding the design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection are being completed by the County. The District provided funding for the geotechnical investigation task of the design. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with County has been developed as a multi-year funded project contingent on the approval of future funding to complete the Implementation of BMPs. The County will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 191

The initial plan is to install box culverts to carry high flows, and add a grass swale above the box culvert to provide treatment for low flows. These BMPs were evaluated and selected for implementation in the alternative analysis during a preliminary engineering study funded by the County and the District. The design is being completed by the County without funding assistance from the District. Current Status: The County has requested the following changes in the schedule to match the County's CIP: Phase IB, which is a sediment basin on the creek at 14th Street, will be constructed in FY11-FY12; Phase II, from, 19th Street to 15th Street, will also be constructed in FY11-FY12; Phase III, from 14th Street to 15th Street, will be constructed in FY14. An amendment will be processed to extend the contract period. The design of Phase I is 95% complete. The County plans to start construction in the spring of 2011, and complete it in the fall of 2011. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 192

This BMP will be implemented in the Bear Creek Channel improvement area. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, and construction engineering and inspection during construction of BMPs. The watershed covers an area of approximately 4.4 square miles and is located in unincorporated Pinellas County, St. Petersburg, and South Pasadena. The land use within the Bear Creek watershed is medium density residential development prior to current land use and stormwater management regulations. The result is higher flow rates and velocities in the creek that have caused erosion and increased flooding of properties located along the creek. The project includes reshaping creek banks to reduce erosion, and excavation of a sediment sump to collect sediment for removal, and dredging the outfall. The proposed BMPs address flooding level of service deficiencies. Benefits Implementing the BMPs included in this project will reduce erosion and flooding. Homes and yards along the stream will be flooded less often, and the stream bank will be more stable. The sediment load will be reduced along the creek and the sediment that is transported downstream will collect in a sump to allow periodic removal. Costs The total estimated project budget is $3,352,000, with the County and the District each contributing half ($1,676,000). The District budgeted $1,065,500 in fiscal years 2006 and 2007. In 2002, under a seperate agreement, 02CON000140 K668, the District and County each budgeted $100,000 for land acquisition. The District funding was contingent on commencement of construction. The County did not request additional funding in FY2008, FY2009 nor FY2010. It is anticipated that additional funds may not be required to complete the project. The District funding amounts shown in the table below includes staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: Topographic information, Watershed Evaluation, Watershed Management Plan, Implementation of BMPs, and Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies. The Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements have been completed by the County, but not in accordance to the District's Guidelines and Specifications. Future funding will be required for the bidding and contractor selection, and construction engineering and inspection during construction of the BMPs. With prior year funding, FY2002 to FY2006, the design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, and land acquisition are being completed. The District funded part of the design, the rest was completed by the County without funding assistance from the District. Construction of the recommended BMPs are incorporated in the current project scope. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the County has been developed as a multi-year funded project contingent on the approval of future funding to complete the Implementation of BMPs. This is a multi-year funded project that is not ranked as a 1A project, and will require a cooperative funding request each fiscal year until completed. The County will make application each year and compete in the ranking of cooperative projects for funding. The County will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 193

Land acquisition, including removal of 19 existing homes from the creek banks to eliminate structural flooding and for future flattening of side banks, is complete. The County divided the project into two phases. Phase 1 replaces the Mango Street Bridge and was awarded in January 2008. Phase 2 includes the replacement of a second bridge and construction of District funded BMP's. District funding applies to reshaping 2,200 linear feet of creek banks and excavation of a sediment sump to prevent sedimentation to Boca Ciega Bay. The County requested additional time to bid and construct the project due to funding shortfalls for FY2010. ACTION-TO-DATE: An amendment to the agreement to adjust project bid and construction to FY2011 was mailed to Pinellas County for signature on January 29, 2010. The County has permits to construct the project and anticipates bidding it later this summer. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 194

Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs, and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 6.5 square miles and is located in Pinellas County, and the City of Dunedin. The Curlew Creek watershed is virtually built-out, with land use ranging from a combination of high density commercial and residential in the upper reaches to medium to low density in the mid to lower reaches. Even lesser storm events cause localized flooding and erosion along the creek. Currently erosion is threatening property and the erosion contributes to the sediment load being deposited in St. Joseph's Sound. Deposition of sediment in downstream locations contributes to flooding problems and degradation of water quality in St. Joseph's Sound. This project consists of installing box culverts and channel bank stabilization to reduce erosion and provide flood protection. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the improvement area. Costs The projected cost for this project is $6,612,000, of which the District's and County's share is $3,306,000. The probable construction costs for this project are based on a BMP alternative analysis developed by the cooperator. The District funding amount shown in the table includes staff salaries. Future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the Basin Board in the annual budget. When each element is completed the projected cost may require refinement based on information gathered and unforeseen circumstances. Prior funding includes $676,155 in FY2006, $798,000 in FY2007, $358,345 in FY2008, and $2,030,000 in FY2009. The existing Cooperative Agreement is being amended to increase the total project budget from $3,665,000 to $7,725,000. Pending further cost increases, this completes the funding requirement for this project. The amounts shown in the table include staff time.

L385 Pop Stansell Storm Treat & Habitat Rest. Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Conservation Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Pinellas County PECK, MICHAEL PRESTON, MATT Ongoing Description This project includes the design, permitting and construction of a stormwater treatment BMP, enhancement of existing low-quality freshwater wetland, habitat restoration, invasive plant removal and environmental education interpretive signage. A stormwater treatment BMP will treat stormwater and improve water quality of stormwater runoff. Treated water will discharge into existing water conveyance immediately to the north (main Palm Harbor discharge) and eventually into Sutherland Bayou, through St. Joseph Sound leading to the Gulf of Mexico. Improvements also include extensive habitat restoration on the site, including removal of invasive, non-native plants which will be replaced with native vegetation. Environmental education interpretive signage will be placed at appropriate locations on the site. Pinellas County will independently fund other park facilities, including a boardwalk, to properly channel public access for passive recreation, nature observation and environmental education pursuits, while eliminating damage from foot traffic and preserving the sensitive tidal and mangrove habitat. Benefits Habitat restoration will be achieved through the removal of exotic vegetation and planting of native species. This native vegetation will also serve to eliminate soil erosion, filter pollutants, provide wildlife habitat and prevent undesirable public access to sensitive restored habitat. Water quality will be improved on-site, and also in water bodies receiving discharge (i.e. Sutherland Bayou, St. Joseph's Sound and the Gulf of Mexico) through stormwater treatment. Interpretive signage will educate the public on the value of proper stormwater treatment and natural restoration for water quality improvement, erosion control and wildlife habitat. Costs The total project cost is estimated to be $730,360 with funding divided between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board ($285,189) and Pinellas County ($445,171) over fiscal years 2006 and 2009. The District funding amounts shown in the table below include staff salaries, travel and central garage charges. Additional Information Pop Stansell Park, owned by Pinellas County, is a 4.5-acre parcel of coastal property located in Palm Harbor in northwest Pinellas County. The park fronts Sutherland Bayou with marine access to St. Joseph Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. An additional 1.5 acres of property is situated directly across a neighborhood road (8th St.). Pop Stansell Park has a long history of use by the public as a water access point for boating, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Very extensive and previously unrestricted use of the property has resulted in severe damage to tidal areas, mangroves and the small portion of longleaf pine uplands. Public use has resulted in erosion of soils along with the other typical potential pollutants associated with vehicle and boat use. Stormwater, potentially influenced by this public use, has flowed relatively untreated into Sutherland Bayou. This project is consistent with Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board priorities of habitat restoration of natural systems, improvement of plant communities, water quality improvement, water resource protection, and wetlands preservation and restoration. The project is also consistent with protection of St. Joseph Sound and watershed education. An estimated 57,000 visitors use the property annually. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 197

Close Out Final Project Report 4/30/09 12/31/11 Contract Termination 12/31/09 12/31/11 Status As Of: May 20, 2010 The County's project manager had been on extended leave and the project was delayed accordingly. On 5/11/2007, the County advised that TBE Group was hired as consultant for the stormwater design component and the schedule was updated. The 30% stormwater treatment design plans were received by the District on 8/1/2007 and discussed with the County and our Regulatory reviewers. The invasive exotics on site have been eradicated in preparation for native planting. Encroachments by adjacent landowners on the tidal zone have been corrected. On 2/21/2008, the permit application and final plans were mailed to the District's Regulatory Department. On 4/10/2008, a meeting was held with Pinellas County staff, including the public works department and their consultant to review and discuss the plans collectively. The County and their consultant have proposed a sump to capture sediment. District and County staff met on site on 4/23/2008 with the County's consultant to work out a design that would still provide the targeted water quality benefits and qualify for District funding. The County was requested to provide a breakdown of their cost estimate for the design and construction of the project along with their proposed revised design. Additional information was requested on 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 198
L385 Pop Stansell Storm Treat & Habitat Rest. their ERP application. On 8/15/2008, the County advised that the ACOE jurisdictional wetland line included a greater area than previously anticipated. They requested 90 days to decide internally how they will proceed with an alternative BMP arrangement without impacting/destroying wetlands. District and County staff met again on 3/5/2009 to discuss the project's progress and additional design changes to maximize stormwater treatment. District staff recommended a revision of the plans to better incorporate water quality treatment. The FY2009 amendment (add additional funding and add time) was held until all design issues were resolved to mutual satisfaction. To date, all permits have been issued for the installation of a sump. The County and District staff met 6/16/2009 to finalize a plan of action for the contract and unencumbered 2009 funds - the FY2009 amendment was approved by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board at their meeting held 8/27/09. The first amendment was fully executed, and a copy sent to Pinellas County, on 11/10/2009.In January 2010, the District reviewed and approved the proposed design and content of the Environmental Educational signage, with minor revisions, submitted by the County. Bid documents were submitted to the District by the County and approved on 2/210. The bid package was advertised, and a pre-bid meeting held on 4/13/10. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 199
L398 St. Petersburg - Imp. BMPs Lake Coronado and Vicinity Project Type Cooperative AORs Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River City of St. Petersburg FRIES, GEORGE Status Ongoing Description This is a project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Lake Coronado and vicinity watershed within the City of St. Petersburg. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 0.4 square miles and is located in the City of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County. The City is proposing to continue the implementation of the BMPs recommended in the Stormwater Management Master Plan that was cooperatively funded by the District and prepared in 1994. The proposed conveyance system improvements include construction of a bypass conduit around Coronado Lake and construction of a relief drain between Lake Coronado and Lake Catalina and a new box culvert under Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street South. In FY2008 the City requested additional funding because the original construction cost estimate for the project was updated to reflect current prices being paid by the City for similar work. Benefits The project will improve level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance and providing additional storage within the system. Costs In FY2006 the projected cost for this project was $2,500,000 with funding divided equally between the Basin Board which provided $1,250,000 in the FY2006 budget and the City which provided $1,250,000. In FY2008 the total projected cost for the project was revised to $4,786,000 of which the District's multi-year share is $2,393,000 and the City's share is $2,393,000. The probable construction costs for the project were based on a BMP alternative analysis developed with the Stormwater Management Master Plan in 1994 but have been updated to reflect current construction costs. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs), and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. A WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. As part of a previously funded cooperative agreement with the District, the City, in 1994, developed a stormwater management master plan (SWMMP) and this project was identified as a needed conveyance system improvement. A conceptual permit already exists for this project (Permit No. 4911423.00). A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the City has been developed for Implementation of the BMPs. The City will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 200

The City awarded a consultant services contract for the project design work to Parsons Water & Infrastructure, Inc. and design work began. The City applied for additional cooperative funding in FY2008 because the original project cost estimate from 1994 was updated to reflect current costs paid for similar work. The City's project manager expected to have the plans completed by December 31, 2007. An amendment to the cooperative funding agreement to incorporate the FY2008 funding was prepared and was sent to the City for execution. Projected costs were substantially higher than the funds available and the City requested to have the scope amended to delete one of the proposed box culverts. An amendment to the agreement was prepared and was approved by the Basin Board and the Governing Board at their August 2008 meetings. The City applied to the District for a permit to construct the project and received a Request for Additional Information (RAI). A response to the RAI was submitted to the District Regulatory staff. The City provided the 90% plans for District comment on February 14, 2008. The City expected to receive the 100% plans in mid May 2008 and to advertise for bids about one month after that. The Consultant expected to complete the plans and specifications by September 2008. The project was bid on October 23, 2008. The bids were evaluated and a recommendation was made to award the project to Terra Excavating, Inc. The construction contract was awarded by City Council on January 8, 2009. The pre-construction meeting was held on January 23, 2009. ACTION-TO-DATE: On-time. Construction began February 2, 2009 and is complete.

L400 Redington Shores - Imp. BMPs Redington Shores Phases II, III & IV Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River Redington Shores FRIES, GEORGE Status Ongoing Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for a portion of the Town of Redington Shores (Town) Watershed. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 0.5 square miles and is located along the Gulf of Mexico on one of the coastal barrier islands of western Pinellas County. Gulf Boulevard generally divides the Town into two watersheds. Runoff west of Gulf Boulevard flows to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) stormwater collection system along Gulf Boulevard. Stormwater runoff generated east of Gulf Boulevard flows into the Intracoastal Waterway. FY2006 funding was for Phases II and III design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, and bidding and contractor selection to continue the implementation of the BMPs as prioritized in the BMP alternative analysis. FY2007 funding was requested to begin construction of the BMP improvements for Phases II and III and for the Phase IV design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection. FY2008 funding was requested to complete the construction of the Phase II and III improvements and for the construction of the Phase IV improvements. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies within the improvement area and will remove sediments and pollutants from the stormwater runoff which discharges into the Intracoastal Waterway. The stormwater pollution prevention units are designed to treat the flow rate generated by the first flush of runoff but will also provide some treatment of the runoff during larger storm events. Costs The projected cost for this project is $3,464,000 of which the District's multi-year share is $1,732,000 and the Town's share is $1,732,000. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation,3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs), and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. A WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems while achieving flood protection. The Town developed a cooperatively funded Stormwater Management Master Plan (SWMMP) in 1998 and began to implement BMPs selected in the SWMMP in 1999. The District co-funded these projects. The plan describes several water quality improvement related projects to be constructed in several phases. For FY1999 implementation included adding inlets and pipes, minor re-grading, and repair or replacement of outfalls for the stormwater management system along streets located east of Gulf Boulevard. For FY2003, the District co-funded Phase V Stormwater Improvements (K816) which have been completed. For FY2005 the District co-funded the Phase I improvements (L251) which are now completed. For FY2006 the Town is continuing the implementation of BMPs within the area generally bounded by 1st Street East, 176th Avenue West, Long Point Drive and 176th Terrace Drive and north along the Intracoastal Waterway. These areas have been designated Phases II, III and IV in the SWMMP. The project includes the construction of BMPs including storm piping, inlets, curb, minor crowning of the roads and CDS units to improve water quality prior to discharge into the Intracoastal Waterway. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the Town has been developed to complete the Implementation of BMPs. The Town is managing the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 202

The Town awarded a consultant contract to Cumbey & Fair and design work began. The Town applied for FY2007 funding for construction of the Phase II and Phase III improvements and for design of the Phase IV improvements. A contract amendment to incorporate the FY2007 funds was executed. The Town requested additional cooperative funding for FY2008 to complete the construction of the Phase II and III improvements and for construction of the Phase IV improvements. Bids were scheduled to be received January 31, 2008 and construction was to commence March 1, 2008 and be completed by December 31, 2009. Some revisions to the plans were necessary because of conflicts between on-going utility construction by Progress Energy and the proposed locations for the drainage structures. The plans were completed and a copy was provided to the District. The Town received bids on August 23, 2008. The contract was awarded and shop drawing submittals were requested. A pre-construction meeting was held in early November 2008 and construction began shortly thereafter. ACTION-TO-DATE: On-time.

L401 Hammock Park - Natural Systems Restoration Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River City of Dunedin LOPEZ, MANNY Status Ongoing Description This project comprises the restoration of the Hammock Park wetlands using re-routed stormwater flow. Hammock Park is one of the last remnants of coastal forest typical of the west-central Florida coastal region prior to recent urbanization. Hammock Park is situated to the east of US Highway Alternate 19, and north of downtown Dunedin in Pinellas County. Hammock Park drains westerly through Cedar Creek, a small tidal waterway, into St. Joseph Sound. This project focuses on restoration of 30 acres of freshwater swamps and hydric hammocks. Past drainage improvements have reduced wetland hydroperiods accompanied by shifts in vegetation and degraded habitat conditions. The plan for restoration included two main phases for implementation: Phase 1 - Ecological and Engineering Evaluation and Feasibility, and Phase 2 - Facility Design, Permitting and Construction. Project activities for FY2008 include development and implementation of post-project monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of project elements. Post project monitoring will continue through 2013. Hydrologic responses and environmental conditions within select portions of Hammock Park will be evaluated. Benefits This project will restore 30 acres of swamps and hydric hammock through the use of routed stormwater and reclaimed water. Increasing wetland hydroperiods will restore hydric soil conditions and promote recolonization by wetland vegetation. Costs The estimated total cost for this project is $2,005,000 with funding equally divided between the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board ($1,002,500) and the City of Dunedin ($1,002,500). In FY2006 total funding for Phase 1 was $220,000 ($110,000 from the City and $110,000 from the Basin Board). In FY2007 funding for Phase 2 was $1,685,000 ($842,500 from the City and $842,500 from the Basin Board). For FY2008, the Basin Board budgeted $50,000 with an equal match from the City of Dunedin to conduct post-project monitoring to determine the effectiveness of the implemented project works and BMP's. The District's funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries, travel and central garage. Additional Information During seasonal dry weather conditions, most of the City's reclaimed water is used for irrigation. During wet weather conditions, some of the reclaimed water is discharged directly into St. Joseph Sound. By diverting some or all of the seasonal, surplus reclaimed water to the Hammock, the amount of water discharged to St. Joseph Sound would be reduced and the opportunity for effective rehydration of the Hammock wetlands could be enhanced. The City's 2003 Master Drainage Plan recommended construction of an outfall pipe from Lake Sperry to the vicinity of the Hammock. Re-routing stormwater into the Hammock may provide an additional source of water for rehydration and restoration. At this time, the use of reclaimed water for rehydration has been deferred until such time as the routing of stormwater has been implemented and monitored for effectiveness. If additional water is required to hydrate the Hammock Park systems, directing reclaimed water will be considered. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 204

Removal of excess excavated soils was completed by October 25, 2009. Monthly monitoring data indicate water table levels are responding (positively) to increased surface water flows. Final payment is pending submittal of final request for reimbursement from the City of Dunedin. Phase 3 monthly water level monitoring will continue until 2013 with yearly data analysis to help develop adjustments to the structure operation schedule. Annual vegetation assessments will monitor habitat changes and trends within rehydrated areas of Hammock Park. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 205
L405 (Withdrawn) Safety Harbor - Imp. BMPs Bishop Creek at Rainbow Farms Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River Safety Harbor FRIES, GEORGE Status Withdrawn Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Bishop Creek Watershed. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 0.6 square miles and is located in the City of Safety Harbor. The goal of this improvement is to stabilize approximately 450 feet of Bishop Creek east of Rainbow Farms Drive to prevent further erosion within the Rainbow Farms subdivision. In FY2006 the City requested funding for the construction of BMPs. For FY2007 the City requested additional funding for the project in order to incorporate stakeholder concerns with the impacts of the size of the proposed open channel along their properties. The project scope was modified and the FY2006 ($200,000), FY2007 ($200,000) and a portion of the FY2008 ($150,000 of $375,000) funding are being used to construct the most easterly 270 foot section of the project. The remaining $225,000 of FY2008 cooperative funding will be applied toward the cost of the construction of the remaining 180 feet of Bishop Creek within Rainbow Farms which is estimated to cost $500,000. Benefits In the last 25 years, the creek has migrated outside of the established easement and is encroaching onto adjoining residential properties. Eroded sediment from the banks is migrating downstream and eventually is deposited into Tampa Bay. Construction of this project will help in stream velocity control and stabilizing adjoining pools, foundations, fences and trees. The City proposes to restore the creek within the existing easement utilizing a BMP of cellular concrete block, vegetative cover and sheet pile walls where appropriate. Costs The total projected cost for this project is $1,550,000 of which the District's multi-year share is $775,000 and the City's share is $775,000. The Basin Board has provided $400,000 in cooperative funding in prior budgets. For FY2008 the funding amount is $750,000 of which the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's share is $375,000 and the City's share is $375,000. The probable construction costs for this project are based on a BMP alternative analysis developed by the cooperator. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies and one of the District's Strategic priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems while achieving flood protection. This project involves the Implementation of BMPs which include construction of the BMPs. is included to complete the implementation of the BMP. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the City has been developed for Implementation of BMPs. The City is managing the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. In addition to this project, the Basin Board provided $200,000 in cooperative funding in FY2006 for the construction of improvements to Bishop's Creek in the Harbor Woods subdivision (L406) located 1/2 mile downstream of Rainbow Farms. That project is now complete. Together these projects represent 15% of the length of Bishop Creek through the City of Safety Harbor. The City has no plans at this time to implement improvements in any other sections of Bishop's Creek as much of the rest of the Creek is readily accessed through local roadways and public lands and the City is better able to maintain those sections of the Creek. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 206

Contract Completion Cooperator Agreement Expiration 12/31/07 12/31/09 Status As Of: April 27, 2010 Status History: The cooperative funding agreement was executed on December 2, 2005 and Notice to Proceed was sent to the City on December 2, 2005. Local opposition to the project caused the City Engineer to revise the plans to incorporate stakeholder concerns and issues. These revisions increased the project cost substantially and the City applied for additional cooperative funding for FY2007. The City Engineer met with the property owners along the creek in June 2006 and determined that they were willing to support the new design concept. The City received additional cooperative funding for FY2008 to complete the construction of the Phase I improvements and to begin the construction of the Phase II improvements. An amendment to the cooperative funding agreement incorporating the FY2008 funding was executed. Construction of the Phase I work was completed. Phase II of the project was expected be bid in December 2008 with construction to be completed by April 2009. Per the City Engineer, the project continued to experience delays because of conflicts between the City, property owners and District Regulatory staff over the use of cable concrete for slope stabilization. Use of this product will result in the removal of at least one large oak tree which the property owners want preserved. The City would prefer to use a vertical sheet pile wall in this part of the creek as it will result in preservation of the tree along the bank. Current Status: On August 18, 2009, staff received an email from the City Engineer requesting the remaining phase of the project be withdrawn. The reason for the City's request was that the City was unable to develop a design that was both acceptable to the adjoining property owners and was permittable. The remaining funds were liquidated and returned to the Basin Board's General Fund to be rebudgeted. At the request of the City, the cooperative funding agreement between the District and the City was allowed to expire on 12/31/2009. The City intends to apply for cooperative funding for this project in the future once the permit issues have been resolved. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 207

Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs (including immediate maintenance) and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 21 square miles and is located in southwestern Pasco, northern Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties. Residents in the 1000 Oaks and Trinity Communities Subdivisions, located in the Duck Slough Watershed are experiencing flooding. Specific BMPs were selected in the BMP alternative analysis to address level of service deficiencies. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance and adding storage within the improvement area. The stormwater management storage area will improve water quality by removing sediments and pollutants from the stormwater runoff. Costs The projected cost for this project is $3,000,000, of which the District's and County's share is $1,000,000 each. The State of Florida is contributing $1,000,000. The probable construction costs are based on a BMP analysis developed by the County. The District funding amounts shown in the table below include staff salaries. This completes the funding requirements for this project. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. In response to an off-cycle funding request in October 2004, the Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements were funded in FY2005. Refer to Project L350 for a discussion of performance of these elements. The Digital Topographic Information element was not included because digital topographic information developed using LIDAR methods was available as part of a County-wide FIRM update. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with County has been executed for Implementation of BMPs. The County will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. This completes the funding requirement for this project. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 208

Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs, and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 9 square miles and is located in Pinellas County, Safety Harbor, and the City of Clearwater. Land uses within the watershed are predominately low-density residential with an urban mix. Approximately 80% of the watershed has been developed, and much of the development took place prior to the implementation of current regulations. Developments are constructed within the floodplain and tributaries and experience moderate to sever erosion. This project will address these issues by improving the channel capacity, regrading the channel cross section, realigning the channel centerline, and applying channel side slope protective measures. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the improvement area. Costs The projected cost for this project is $2,000,000, of which the District's and the City's share is $1,000,000 each. The probable construction costs are based on a BMP analysis developed by the cooperator. The District funding amount shown in the table includes staff salaries. Future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the Basin Board in the annual budget. When each element is completed the projected cost may require refinement based on information gathered and unforeseen circumstances. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements have been completed by the County, but not to the District's standards. The Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation, and Watershed Management Plan elements were funded in 1997 and have been completed, and the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County have been implementing BMPs in many areas within the watershed. The City will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 210

This BMP will be implemented in the Turner Street improvement area. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 10 square miles and is located in western Pinellas County and includes the cities of Dunedin and Clearwater. The watershed has a history of flooding problems and water quality is a concern because channel erosion creates sediment that is deposited into Clearwater Harbor, an Outstanding Florida Water Body and State Aquatic Preserve. As part of an overall plan to address these issues this project consists of adding a box culvert connnector between Lake Bellevue and the Glen Oaks Stormwater Management Storage Area. The proposed BMPs will address level of service deficiencies. Benefits Implementing the BMPs included in this project will reduce erosion, and improve flood protection. Costs The total budget amount for this project is $2,000,000, of which the District's share is $1,000,000. The City will contribute $1,000,000. The District funding amounts shown in the table do not include a budget transfer to this project of $1,003,111, originally budgeted in FY2006 for K394. The amount included in the Basin's budget completes the project funding requirements. The probable construction costs for this project are based on the BMP alternative analysis developed with the Watershed Management Plan in (2000), and updated by the City's consultant. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: Topographic information, Watershed Evaluation, Watershed Management Plan, Implementation of BMPs, and Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies.

L706 Pinellas County Spray Nozzle Replacement Project Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Conservation Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County Utilities ANDRADE, ANTHONY Status Ongoing Description This amended project consists of providing 583 (reduced from 2,000) commercial spray valves to ICI utility customers free of charge, and includes an installation inspection. This project is based upon a Pinellas County Utilities funded pilot project which provided 100 low-flow (1.6 gallons per minute, or gpm) spray valves in 2005. The results of that pilot program indicated that replacing older, high-volume spray valves (3 to 4 gpm) with 1.6-gpm spray valves will save an average of 225 gallons of potable water per day, per customer. A pre- and post-evaluation will be performed for each high volume and water-efficient spray valve to determine the amount of water being used. Each facility will be interviewed by the County, to determine the amount of time the spray valve is used each day. The County is currently using this water savings calculation method with their ongoing spray valve program in schools. Benefits The amended project will save an estimated 131,175 gpd. Costs The amended total project cost is $14,000 (reduced from $58,000). The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved funding in the amount of $29,000 in FY2007, which was reduced by the Fist Amendment to $7,000. The cost per spray valve is $24 with an additional $5 per spray valve for advertising and shipping. The amended total project cost, amortized at 8 percent over 5 years, is $.07 per thousand gallons saved. Additional Information The project scope was reduced by approximately 2/3rds via a First Amendment in 2008 due to limited customer participation, County budget reductions and staff constraints. The District approved a Second Amendment to refine the project's targeted customer base to include all industrial/commercial/institutional customers in order to increase project participation and achieve anticipated water conservation goals.

L709 Pinellas WMPlan Starkey Basin Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Conservation Floodplain Management Natural Systems Identification and Monitoring Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Pinellas County PECK, MICHAEL MAYER, RICHARD Ongoing Description This is a multi-year funded project which will include a Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan for the Starkey Basin Watershed. The evaluation and plan will recommend specific implementation strategies to address and improve, as appropriate, water quality, natural habitats, recreational opportunities, and drainage as it relates to previous issues within the project boundaries. The Starkey Basin watershed is located in central Pinellas County, encompasses approximately 7,500 acres, and includes the Lake Seminole Bypass Canal, the major channel in the watershed. The canal and its tributaries total 8.1 miles and generally flow southward from Keene Road and discharge into Long Bayou and Boca Ciega Bay. Current estimates indicate that annual discharges from Lake Seminole Bypass Canal contribute approximately 30 tons of nitrogen, 200 tons of total suspended solids, and 2.4 tons of phosphorous to Long Bayou and Boca Ciega Bay. Benefits The project will enable the development of alternative action plans to improve water quality within, and discharged from, this impaired watershed. It is anticipated that several viable habitat, stormwater treatment, and other water quality improvement or restoration projects will be identified in the final evaluation recommendations. Improving water quality discharging to Boca Ciega Bay is supported by the County's Comprehensive Plan and will help accomplish a primary goal of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program's Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan. Costs The total budget amount for this project is $600,000, split evenly between the District ($300,000) and the County ($300,000). The District appropriated $100,000 in FY2007 and $200,000 in FY2008. The District's share is being funded entirely by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries, travel and central garage charges. Additional Information The Watershed Management Program (WMP) includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies.

Project Close Out Contract Termination 12/31/09 12/31/11 Status As Of: May 20, 2010 The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved this project as part of their FY2007 budget. An additional $200,000 cooperative funding application was submitted by Pinellas County in FY2008 to cover increased costs assocaited with the addition of the Watershed Management Plan element to the project scope. The proposed project scope and budget modifications were approved by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board, and the agreement was sent to the cooperator for signature on 4/11/2007. After the District's legal staff and Pinellas County worked together to resolve an issue related to the liability section of the contract, the contract was executed on 7/30/2007. The Notice to Proceed was sent to the County on 7/31/2007. Pinellas County selected Ayers Associates as the consultant for the project, but due to a contract langauge dispute was not able to exectute the contract and commence work on the project until 2/19/2008. The project is dependent upon LiDAR data being provided by another District project, which was delayed. Final approved LiDAR data became available and was obtained by Pinellas County staff in late August of 2009. Due to repeated performance issues with Ayers Associates, the Coutny issued a letter on 9/28/2009 indicating that the contract between Pinellas County and Ayers Assocaites would be terminated. A no-cost time extension amendment to the agreement between the District and Pinellas County was fully executed on 12/11/2009 which extended the contract termination date to 12/31/2011 to account for the lengthy delay caused by the LiDAR data. Pinellas County has concluded the termination process with Ayers Associates, and is currently in the process of selecting a new consultant to move forward with this project. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 221
L710 Wall Springs - Water Quality Improvement & Habitat Restoration Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Pinellas County PRATER, CORRINA LOPEZ, MANNY Ongoing Description This project will restore habitat and improve water quality at Wall Springs. Wall Springs Park is located in western Palm Harbor in Pinellas County. Wall Springs Park is named after a small surficial spring present in the park that discharges water into a small pond and eventually into Boggy Bayou. The first element involves improving flow and circulation between two backwater bays currently blocked by a narrow land bridge formed by the access road to one of the park's upland islands. Restoring circulation between the two small bays will allow for better flushing during tidal cycles and will improve water quality conditions (e.g., dissolved oxygen) to these important fisheries nursery areas. It is anticipated that the improved recirculation pattern can be incorporated into a new loop for the nearby canoe/kayak trail that currently cannot access these areas. The second restoration element includes revegetation of the one acre pond immediately downstream of the spring. The pond previously was overgrown with invasive vegetation including cattails and extensive algae growth. Some removal of invasive vegetation has already been performed. The pond will be cleared of the remaining invasive vegetation and will be planted with native wetland and transition plants to provide wildlife habitat and provide bank stabilization. Benefits This project meets the District's goals of natural systems restoration by improving tidal circulation in backwater areas and revegetation of wetland areas. Wall Springs Park enjoys a high public profile and public use. Restoration activities can be easily and effectively incorporated into educational and public outreach opportunities to promote District goals. Costs The total projected cost for the project is $700,000, of which the District's total contribution is $350,000 with an equal match from the County over FY2007 and FY2008. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries, travel and central garage. Additional Information Wall Spring is about 30 ft in diameter and 10 ft deep near the vent. Discharge rates are very dependent upon rainfall and other upgradient influences. About 3.5 million gallons of water per day discharge from the spring during the rainy season.

This BMP will be implemented in Improvement Areas 3 and 4. This project consists of bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection in Improvement Area 3, and design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, and land acquisition for future construction of BMPs in improvement area 4 in the Town of Redington Beach. It is the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Town of Redington Beach. Residents in the Town are experiencing frequent nuisance flooding and untreated stormwater is discharging in Boca Ciega Bay. BMPs consist of increasing conveyance to reduce flooding and installation of CDS units for water quality treatment. The proposed BMPs will address level of service deficiencies. Benefits Implementing the BMPs included in this project will reduce the duration and level of flooding, and provide treatment of stormwater. Costs The total budget amount for this project is $1,200,000, of which the District's share is $600,000. The Town will contribute $600,000. For FY2007 $600,000 is included in the Basin's budget and this completes the funding requirement for this project. Future funding will be needed for design and construction in other improvement areas. Based on the BMP implementation plan future funding requests will be: $317,000 in FY2008; and $291,500 in FY2009. These totals are not shown in the table below. The District funding amounts shown in the table below includes staff salaries. When each element is completed the project budget may require refinement based on the information gathered. The probable construction costs for this project are based on the BMP alternative analysis developed with the Watershed Management Plan completed in 2005. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: Topographic information, Watershed Evaluation, Watershed Management Plan, Implementation of BMPs, and Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies. The Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements were funded in FY2004, and have been completed. The Town is implementing the BMPs selected in the alternative analysis of the Watershed Management Plan. The total amount the Basin Board has funded for BMP Implementation to date, including this project is $1,700,000. Future funding will be required for Implementing BMPs in other improvement areas in the Town. These will be managed as separate projects. Each project will include design of one improvement area and construction in another. The Town will apply for cooperative funding each fiscal year to address implementation tasks for each improvement area. With prior year funding the design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, and land acquisition were completed for Improvement Area 3 with FY2006 funding. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement, $1,050,000, was developed with the Town for construction of BMPs in Improvement Area 3. A second cooperative funding expediture agreement, $150,000, was developed for design of Improvement Area 4 BMPs. The Town will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. Refer to Projects L246 and L407 for implementation of BMPs in other improvement areas. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 224

Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 0.16 square miles and is located in the City of Pinellas Park. The District previously funded the Implementation of BMPs for Improvement Area II of the Park Boulevard Watershed (L243). This BMP was evaluated as part of a study funded by the City and selected for implementation in the alternative analysis. A Conceptual Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) has not been approved for this BMP. The City has previously acquired the land needed for the project and will use the cost of the land ($1,236,000) as part of their funding match. With FY2007 funding the City plans to complete the design, development of construction documents and construction permitting components of the stormwater management storage area (SMSA) and outfall structure for Improvement Area III, the third and final stage of its Watershed Management Program for Park Boulevard. With FY2008 funding the City plans to complete the construction of the stormwater management storage area and outfall structure for Improvement Area III. For FY2009 the City is expanding the scope of the project to include construction of a new box culvert in the channel at the 76th Terrace crossing. Benefits The City has estimated that construction of the SMSA will result in the removal of 14,960 kg/yr of TSS, 38.7 kg/yr of TP and 457 kg/yr of TN. Costs The total projected cost for this project is $5,426,000 of which the District's multi-year share is $2,713,000 and the City's share is $2,713,000. The Basin Board provided $187,000 in cooperative funding in the FY2007 budget. In FY2008 the Basin Board provided $1,526,000 in cooperative funding and the City provided $477,000. The City is proposing to use the cost of the acquisition of the land for a portion of their match. For FY2009 the District provided $1,000,000 in cooperative funding and the City will provide $1,000,000 in matching funds. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies and one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems while achieving flood protection. Additional funding will be needed to complete the bidding and contractor selection, construction, and construction engineering and inspection. The project will be ranked and compete for funding in future fiscal years. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the City has been developed as a multi-year funded project contingent on the approval of future funding to complete the Implementation of this BMP. The City is managing the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 226

City Council awarded a consultant services agreement to TBE Group at their 04/28/2007 meeting. Design work began and progressed satisfactorily. The City requested and received additional cooperative funding in the FY2008 budget and an amendment to the cooperative funding agreement has been executed by both parties. Project design work continued. The City requested additional cooperative funding for FY2009 for improvements to the intermediate conveyance system between the SMSA being constructed as part of this project and Sawgrass Lake. The SWFWMD permit application was submitted in April 2008. The 90% plans were submitted to the City on May 30, 2008. A stakeholder meeting was held on June 13, 2008 to discuss project scope and schedule. A further meeting between the District and City staff was held on July 1, 2008. A second amendment to the cooperative funding agreement was executed on December 18, 2008 which added the FY2009 funding and revised the project scope to include replacement of a downstream corrugated metal pipe at 76th Terrace with a box culvert. ACTION-TO-DATE: Construction on this project began in November 2009. On September 14, 2009, staff received a letter from the City Engineer requesting that the project be withdrawn. The City has secured a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation in the amount of 100% of the project cost and, consequently, does not require the cooperative funding from the District. No District funds have been spent on this project and all of the $2,713,000 budgeted for the project have been liquidated and returned to the Basin Board s General Fund to be rebudgeted. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 227
L718 Seminole - WMPlan Seminole Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River Seminole FRIES, GEORGE Status Ongoing Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, and 3) Watershed Management Plan elements of the District's Watershed Management Program for recently annexed portions of the City of Seminole. The proposed study area is approximately 9.3 square miles and is located in Pinellas County. The issues in this watershed are flood damage, land alteration and development, and water quality. The watershed management plan will be used to address flood protection and water quality issues. Topographic Information includes the acquisition of data and development of the terrain features in the geodatabase to be used in the Watershed Evaluation. The Watershed Evaluation includes collection of existing data, GIS processing of the terrain features to establish catchments and connectivity, field reconnaissance, refinement of the terrain features and development of the hydraulic element point features. The Watershed Management Plan element includes: development of watershed parameters for a specific use, GIS processing, computer modeling, floodplain and water quality analysis, peer review, public notification/meeting, surface water resource assessment, establishment of LOS, and BMP alternative analysis. Surface water bodies in the City, such as Long Bayou, Cross Bayou and Lake Seminole are adversely affected by increased sedimentation and pollution from oils, greases, hydrocarbons, street debris, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer and atmospheric pollutants accumulated in rainfall. The City also experiences localized flooding due to system inadequacies. The Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements were completed by the City in the year 2000 before implementation of the District's Watershed Management Program Guidelines and Specifications (G+S) and prior to the City annexing over 1500 acres of additional land. This project involves Updates of the Watershed Parameters and Models to the District's G+S where the Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Watershed Management Plan will reflect the changes in the watershed since the previous work was done. With FY2007 funding the work on the Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Watershed Management Plan elements began and should be completed. Benefits The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments with their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service, develops Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies, and provides a geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain management and water quality management. Costs The projected cost for this project is $225,000 of which the District's share is $112,500 and the City's share is $112,500. For FY2007, $225,000 was appropriated in the Basin Board's budget with revenue of $112,500 from the City of Seminole. When each element is completed the projected cost may require refinement based oninformation gathered and unforeseen circumstances. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. A cooperative funding revenue agreement with the City of Seminole has been developed. The District is managing the project and has entered into purchase orders and agreements to accomplish project tasks. Future cooperative funding requests and agreements will be required for the Implementation of BMPs and Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 228

The consultant services agreement with TBE Group was executed on October 13, 2006. A project kick off meeting was held on November 2, 2006. The Digital Topographic Information was submitted in December 2006, several months ahead of schedule, and was found acceptable. The Watershed Evaluation deliverable was provided to the District at a progress meeting on June 28, 2007 and was approved. The Watershed Parameterization and Model Development and Verification deliverables were submitted in October 2007 and comments were provided to the consultant. A no-cost time extension to extend the contract completion date by 12 months to June 30, 2009 was executed. Work on this project has been delayed due to the ongoing corrective work for the Hernando, Pasco & Sarasota County watersheds. A meeting with the consultant was held on February 17, 2009 to determine project status and schedule. A meeting with the city manager and staff was held on April 18, 2009 to discuss use of updated LiDAR in the development of the topographic information for the project. Use of this data will provide a more accurate model but will delay the completion of the project. Current Status: A no cost time extension to extend the contract completion date to December 31, 2010 has been executed. Work on updating and enhancing the LiDAR data has begun. Work on georeferencing the ERPs is ongoing. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 229

Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs, and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 40 square miles and is located in Pasco County. The project area is within the South Branch of the Anclote River Watershed, south of State Road 54, and east of the Sierra Pines development. This project consists of assessing the feasibility of increasing the storage capacity of the wetlands within the South Pasco Well field in order to better manage the water resources, i.e., flood protection, water quality, natural systems and water supply. Issues addressed by this project are regional (water supply), and intermediate (flood protection, water quality and natural systems). The South Pasco Wellfield property consists primarily of wetlands and is part of Tampa Bay Water's water supply system. Issues in the South and Sandy Branches watersheds include flood damage, particularly in the Sierra Pines development, rapid growth, and water quality degradation. The quantity of water as well as the timing and distribution will be addressed in the BMP alternative analysis phase of the project. Conceptual design(s) will be prepared, the ability to permit implentation of these BMPs will be addressed, and probable construction costs will be developed. Implementation of BMPs can begin once the BMP have been selected. Implementation of BMPs will be managed in a separate project. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance and adding storage within the improvement area. The stormwater management storage area will improve water quality by removing sediments and pollutants from the stormwater runoff. Costs The projected cost for this project is $200,000 of which the District's and County's share is $100,000 each. The probable construction costs are based on a BMP analysis developed by the cooperator. District funding amounts shown in the table includes staff salaries. This completes the funding requirement for this project. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. With prior year funding three projects were completed and the results can be used in the performance of this project. The first is an alternative BMP analysis to re-hydrate the wetlands in the South Pasco well field that was completed by Tampa Bay Water in January 2004. Secondly, with prior year funding from Pasco County and FEMA, the Topographic Information element was completed for the entire Anclote River watershed in 2005. Finally, in 2005 the District and FEMA funded the Watershed Evaluation element and tasks within the Watershed Management Plan element for the South and Sandy Branches of the Anclote River. The BMP alternative analysis was not completed. The District has been working with the County for several years through the Watershed Management Program Coordination Document to develop a five year implementation schedule by watershed based on their projected funding levels, and funding available from others for example FEMA or State appropriations. A cooperative funding revenue agreement with County will be developed to complete the BMP alternative analysis. The District will manage the BMP alternative analysis and enter into purchase orders and agreements to accomplish project tasks. Once the BMP analysis is complete the County will take over management of the project during BMP implementation. A new activity code will be opened and a new expenditure agreement developed to manage BMP implementation.

The scope includes updating the parameters and the model developed in 2008. The BMP alternative analysis utilizes the information from Digital Topographic, Watershed Evaluation, and Watershed Management Plan elements. These elements were completed for this watershed in 2008, and the results were presented at public and peer review meetings. Based on comments from the public and private engineering community it was decided to increase the level of detail of the watershed parameters and the model before proceeding with the BMP alternative analysis. The District is managing this project by issuing work orders to first update the Watershed Evaluation and Managment Plan, and then to perform the BMP alternative analysis. The first work order to update the Watershed Evaluation is complete. The second work order to update the model parameters has been issued, and should be complete by the end of May 2010.

Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs, and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 40 square miles and is located in Pasco County. The project area is within the South and Sandy Branches of the Anclote River Watershed, east of the intersection of the Suncoast Parkway and SR 54. The issue that is being addressed by this project is the culvert doesn't have capacity to pass stormwater runoff from extreme events. This will cause water to rise in upstream developments during these events. Increasing the size of the culvert would increase flows downstream into the Sierra Pines development, an area already subject to frequent flooding. The quantity of water as well as the timing and distribution will be addressed in the BMP alternative analysis phase of the project. Conceptual design(s) will be prepared, the ability to permit implementation of these BMPs will be assessed, and probable construction costs will be developed. Future funding will be required for implementation of BMPs. Implementation of BMPs will be managed in a separate project (N124). Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the improvement area. Costs The projected cost for this project is $200,000 of which the District's and County's share is $100,000. The probable construction costs are based on a BMP analysis developed by the cooperator. The County will contribute $100,000. The District funding amount shown in the table includes staff salaries. Future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the Basin Board in the annual budget. When each element is completed the projected cost may require refinement based on information gathered and unforeseen circumstances. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. With prior year funding two projects were completed. The results will be updated and used in the performance of this project. The first project, funded by FEMA and Pasco County, is the Topographic Information element that was completed in 2005 for the entire Anclote River watershed. The District and FEMA funded the second project, consisting of the Watershed Evaluation element and tasks within the Watershed Management Plan element for the South and Sandy Branches of the Anclote River, and it was completed in July of 2007. The BMP alternative analysis was not completed. The District has been working with the County for several years through the Watershed Management Program Coordination Document to develop a five year implementation schedule by watershed based on their projected funding levels, and funding available from others for example FEMA or State appropriations.

The two watersheds cover a total area of approximately 200 square miles and is located in Pasco County. The watershed management plan will be used to address flood protection and water quality issues. Topographic information includes the acquisition of data and development of the terrain features in the Geodatabase to be used in the Watershed Evaluation. The Watershed Evaluation includes collection of existing data, GIS processing of the terrain features to establish catchments and connectivity, field reconnaissance, refinement of the terrain features and development of the hydraulic element point features. The Watershed Management Plan element includes: development of watershed parameters for a specific use, GIS processing, computer modeling, floodplain and water quality analysis, peer review, public notification/meeting, surface water resource assessment, establishment of LOS, and BMP alternative analysis. This project consists of assessing the feasibility of diverting excess flows from the Pithlachascotee and Anclote Rivers onto the Starkey Wellfield, Serenova, Anclote River Ranch and Crockett Lake Ranch properties in order to better manage the water resources, i.e., flood protection, water quality, water supply, and natural systems. These properties are located within the boundaries of both watersheds, north of SR54 and east of New Port Richey. The quantity of water as well as the timing and distribution of diversions will be addressed in the BMP alternative analysis phase of the project. Conceptual designs will be prepared, the ability to permit implementation of these BMPs will be assessed, and probable construction costs will be developed. Future funding will be required for implementation of BMPs. The implementation of BMPs will be managed in a separate project. Issues in these watersheds include flood damage, land alteration, and water quality degradation. The quantity of water as well as the timing and distribution of diversions will be addressed in the BMP alternative analysis phase of the project. Benefits The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments with their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service, develops Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies, and provides a geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain and water quality management. The benefits specific to this project are flood protection, and wetland and well field re-hydration. Costs The projected cost for this project project is $500,000 of which the District's and County's share is $250,000 each. This completes the funding requirement for this project. Implementation of BMPs will be managed as separate expenditure agreements. The District funding amounts shown in the table below includes staff salaries. Additional Information The Watershed Management Program (WMP) includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of Best Management Practices, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The District has been working with the County for several years through the Watershed Management Program Coordination Document to develop a five year implementation schedule by watershed based on their projected funding levels, and funding available from others for example FEMA or State appropriations. With prior year funding three elements of the Watershed Management Program, Digital Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation, and Watershed Management Plan (except the BMP alternative analysis task), have been completed for the Pithlachascotee Watershed, and recent studies in the project area have indentified potential Best Management Practices (BMPs) for wetland restoration within the properties listed above. This project 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 237
L738 Pasco - WMPlan Pithlachascotee-Anclote Watershed Conservation Effort includes developing a detailed surface water model for the remainder of the project area, integrating it with existing models, and using it to evaluate BMPs. The minimum flows and levels for these rivers have not been established. A cooperative funding revenue agreement with County will be developed as a multi-year funded project contingent on the approval of future funding to complete the WMP elements through the Watershed Management Plan. This is a multi-year funded project that will require a cooperative funding request each fiscal year until completed. A cooperative funding revenue agreement with County will be developed using FY2007 funds to complete the BMP alternative analysis. The District will manage the BMP alternative analysis and enter into purchase orders and agreements to accomplish project tasks. Once the BMP analysis is complete the County will take over management of the project during BMP implementation. A new activity code will be opened and a new expenditure agreement developed to manage BMP implementation. Future cooperative funding requests and agreements may be required to complete the implementation of BMPs, and will be required for Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. The District is a cooperating technical partner (CTP) with FEMA, the floodplain results developed with this project will be used to update the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) panels associated with this watershed.

BMPs 30th Avenue North and Vicinity Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River City of St. Petersburg FRIES, GEORGE Status Ongoing Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Norwood Heights and Ponce De Leon Neighborhoods within the City of St. Petersburg. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. This portion of the watershed covers an area of approximately 0.1 square miles. A conceptual permit already exists for this project (Permit No. 4911458.00). The proposed conveyance system improvements include construction of a relief drain for 30th Avenue North and vicinity that will connect to the recently completed drainage system that was constructed along 29th Street to Lake Emerald. In addition, the City will install a CDS-type unit to remove pollutants and improve the water quality discharging from the new relief drain. For FY2007 the City requested funding for the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. For FY2008 the City requested additional funding because the original construction cost estimate,developed in 1994, had been updated to reflect current prices being paid by the City for similar work. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the service area. The CDS-type unit will improve water quality in the area by removing pollutants and sediment from the surface runoff. Costs In FY2007 the projected cost for this project was $3,074,000 with funding divided equally between the Basin Board which provided $1,537,000 in the FY2007 budget and the City which provided $1,537,000. In FY2008 the projected cost for this project was $7,624,000 of which the District's multi-year share is $3,812,000 and the City's share is $3,812,000. The probable construction cost for the project were based on a BMP alternative analysis developed with the Stormwater Management Master Plan in 1994 but has now been updated to reflect current construction costs. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems while achieving flood protection. As part of a previously funded cooperative agreement with the District, the City, in 1994, developed a stormwater management master plan (SWMMP) and this project was identified as a needed conveyance system improvement. The existing stormwater conveyance system within the neighborhood is aged and undersized resulting in street flooding in the neighborhood and occasionally the complete blockage of traffic flow on 30th Avenue North. is included to complete the implementation of the BMP. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the City has been developed for implementation of this BMP. The City is managing the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 239

The City applied for and received additional cooperative funding in FY2008 because the original project cost estimate from 1994 was updated to reflect current costs paid for similar work. The City awarded a contract for project design to URS Corporation and design work began. There was a delay in the completion of the plans because of concerns about model results. Permitting was to proceed once the model update work was completed and the plans were advanced to the 60% stage. Work on the modeling update continued. The City expected design to be completed to the point that a permit application could be submitted to Tampa REG by November 2008. Permit application submittal occurred in December 2008. ACTION-TO-DATE: On time. Bids were received on 11/3/2009. The contract award by Council was on 12/17/2009. The pre-construction meeting was held on 1/17/2010 and construction began in March 2010. The delay in the start was because of the pre-order required for the Suntree baffle box. Construction will take about one year. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 240

This portion of the watershed covers an area of approximately 0.44 square miles and is located in the City of St. Petersburg. A conceptual permit already exists for this project (Permit No. 4911019.00). The proposed stormwater conveyance system improvements include a relief drain between Jungle Lake and Boca Ciega Bay along with laterals to serve the adjacent streets along the route. For FY2007 the City requested funding for the following tasks: design, development of construction documents and construction permitting. For FY2008 the City requested additional funding to complete the work on the design, development of construction documents and construction permitting. For FY2009 the City requested funding for the construction of the Jungle Lake outfall project. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the improvement area. A CDS-type unit will be provided to improve water quality in the area by removing pollutants and sediment from the surface runoff. Costs In FY2007 the projected cost for this multi-year funded project was $2,924,000 with funding divided equally between the Basin Board which provided $200,000 for design, development of construction documents and permitting in the FY2007 budget and the City which provided $200,000. The remaining project cost for construction and construction engineering and inspection was to be funded in a future year. In FY2008 the projected cost for this project was revised to $7,620,000 of which the District's share was $3,810,000 and the City's share was $3,810,000. For FY2008 the budgeted amount was $400,000 of which the Basin Board's share was $200,000 and the City's share was $200,000. The additional funding was requested because the City evaluated the professional fees paid for design and development of construction documents for similar projects and determined that additional funds were needed. For FY2009 the budgeted amount was $6,820,000 of which the Basin Board's share was $3,410,000 and the City's share was $3,410,000. The probable construction costs were based on a BMP alternative analysis developed with the Stormwater Management Master Plan in 1994 but have now been updated to reflect current construction costs.

L772 Pinellas County Alternative Source Rebate Program Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County Utilities ANDRADE, ANTHONY Status Ongoing Description This alternative water supply project encourages the use of the surficial aquifer, Floridan aquifer, and surface water for non-potable applications, such as lawn irrigation. The project will offer up to $300 rebates per installation for up to 500 irrigation wells/pumps and includes the random metering of 20 percent of participants (up to 100 meters). The one-year project is eligible to customers in portions of the County's potable service area that do not have, and will not be receiving reclaimed water service. Benefits The project will provide approximately 150,000 gpd of well and surface water to offset 75,000 gpd of potable water. Costs The total cost of this project is estimated to be $165,000 and the District's share is fifty percent, or $82,500. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board funded $82,500 in FY2007. The cost amortized at 8 percent over 20 years is $0.60 per thousand (1000) gallons offset. Additional Information The estimated benefits are based on the offsets achieved in the Shallow Well Pilot Study (K205, FY1999). It is anticipated that the average savings for the FY2007 project would not be as high as previous projects that captured high end water users. The county estimates the project will result in an average daily savings of approximately 150 gallons of potable water per residence per day. Rebates are available to participants who meet the following requirements: (1) are in the county's potable service area, (2) are outside of the county's "Reuse Priority One Zone" and do not have existing or future access to reclaimed water service, (3) agree to ensure the long term operation of their non-potable irrigation source (to avoid switching back to potable water for irrigation), (4) comply with the terms of irrigation variance SWF 05-59 (allows for a variance from the District's 2 day per week restrictions).

These watersheds cover an area of approximately 28 square miles and are located in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco Counties. Lands within these watersheds have undergone significant hydrologic alterations. With FY2008 funding work on the Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation, and Watershed Management Plan elements will begin. Topographic information includes the acquisition of data and development of the terrain features in the Geodatabase to be used in the Watershed Evaluation. The Watershed Evaluation includes collection of existing data, GIS processing of the terrain features to establish catchments and connectivity, field reconnaissance, refinement of the terrain features and development of the hydraulic element point features. The Watershed Management Plan element includes: development of watershed parameters for a specific use, GIS processing, computer modeling, floodplain and water quality analysis, surface water resource assessment, establishment of LOS, BMP alternative analysis. A comprehensive Watershed Management Plan will provide a management tool to define the effects of potential restoration projects and BMPs within the varied mosaic of developed areas, and publicly owned lands (uplands and wetlands). This project will incorporate information from previous and ongoing watershed modeling efforts in the Pinellas and Hillsborough County areas of Brooker Creek watershed and the Duck Slough watershed in Pasco County. Benefits The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments: 1) With their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service and developing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies. 2) Provides a Geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain management, and water quality management. Costs The total budget amount for this project is $459,888 of which the District's share is $229,944. The County will contribute $229,944 as revenue. The current budgeted amount will complete the funding requirement for this project. The District funding amounts shown in the table do not account for the budget transfer that is being processed at the time this database was printed. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies. A cooperative funding revenue agreement with the County was developed as a multi-year funded project, FY2004 and FY2005, to complete the WMP elements through the Watershed Management Plan. The District is managing the project and has entered into an agreement with a consultant to accomplish project tasks. Based on information gathered during the watershed evaluation element, the budget to complete the work for the Brooker Creek Watershed has been reduced from $1,400,000 to $940,112, with $459,888 remaining. The remaining funds are now being used to complete watershed management plans for Hollin Creek, Lake Tarpon and Lake Tarpon Canal Watersheds. Future cooperative funding requests and agreements will be required for the Implementation of BMPs and Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 247

L804 Pinellas County North Reclaimed Water System Telemetry Control Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Reclaimed Water Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County Utilities ANDRADE, ANTHONY Status Ongoing Description This project consists of the design and installation of a networked system of flow meters, pressure sensors, water quality monitoring equipment, tank & pond level indicators, telemetry and motorized valves in the county's north reclaimed water system. The project will enable a more coordinated, efficient and effective operation and management of large interruptible customer locations in the County's north system. Benefits The project will enable better control of reuse supply and transfers of reclaimed water from interconnects with Clearwater's and Oldsmar's reclaimed water system, and is projected to result in the ability to maximize the number of reclaimed water customers in the north reclaimed water system. There are no estimated benefit calculations for this project, as benefits will be associated with future reclaimed water projects this telemetry control project will support. Costs The total amended cost of this project is $500,000 and the District's share is 50 percent, or $250,000. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board budgeted its entire commitment in FY2008 (original $400,000 reduced to $250,000 by First Amendment). Additional Information The overall improved management provided by the automation of the reclaimed water system is projected to result in the ability to maximize the number of reclaimed water customers in the north reclaimed water system. Real time operational data will be continuously monitored by the networked metering and controls system to determine availability of reclaimed water and the demand that the major reclaimed water customers and areas are placing on the reclaimed water system. These data will be used to optimize opportunities and control supply from Pinellas County's Dunn Wastewater Treatment Plant as well as from transfers of reclaimed water from interconnects with Clearwater's and Oldsmar's reclaimed water systems. The First Amendment eliminates one of the telemetry sites (Highlands Lakes Blue Course) due to flooding issues and proportionally reduces the project's costs and benefits.

The project was submitted to the District's FY2008 Cooperative Program, all of the District's funding commitment of $400,000 was included in the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's FY2008 budget toward completion of the project, and was encumbered in late 2008. The County received approval for a proportional scope and cost reduction due to flooding issues at one of the original telemetry locations (amendment approved at the August 2009 Basin Board, and executed February 24, 2010). ACTION TO DATE: Completed. A Final reimbursement request is anticipated from the County by the end of May 2010. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 250
L805 Pinellas County Alternate Source Rebate Program Phase II Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County Utilities ANDRADE, ANTHONY Status Ongoing Description This alternative water supply project is the second phase of a County program that encourages the use of non-potable sources, other than reclaimed water, for non-potable applications, such as lawn irrigation. Non-potable sources might include the surficial aquifer, Floridan Aquifer or surface water. The project will offer rebates up to $300 per installation of up to 500 wells/pumps, and includes the random metering of a statistically representative number of participants (estimated at 20 meters). Project participants must be in portions of the County's potable service area that do not have, and will not be receiving, reclaimed water service. Benefits The project will provide approximately 150,000 gpd of well and surface water to offset 75,000 gpd of potable water. Costs The total cost of this project is estimated to be $150,000 and the District's share is fifty percent, or $75,000. The cost amortized at 8 percent over 20 years is $0.55 per thousand (1,000) gallons offset. Additional Information The estimated benefits are based on the offsets achieved in the Shallow Well Pilot Study (K205, FY1999). It is anticipated that the average savings for the FY2008 project would not be as high as previous projects that captured high end water users. The county estimates the project will result in an average daily savings of approximately 150 gallons of potable water per residence per day. As per the conditions of the existing District funded Phase I project (L772), the Phase II rebates are also available to participants who meet the following requirements: (1) are in the county's potable service area, (2) are outside of the county's "Reuse Priority One Zone" and do not have existing or future access to reclaimed water service, (3) agree to ensure the long term operation of their non-potable irrigation source (to avoid switching back to potable water for irrigation), (4) comply with the terms of irrigation variance SWF 05-59 (allows for a variance from the District's 2 day per week restrictions).

Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. This portion of the watershed covers an area of approximately 2.0 square miles and includes the incorporated area of the City of Kenneth City. The proposed stormwater conveyance system improvements include removal of existing corrugated metal pipe segments which have deteriorated and failed causing erosion of sediment into the lakes and waterways within the Town. This sediment is transported into Joe's Creek and then to Cross Bayou causing pollution within that waterway. The existing corrugated metal pipe will be replaced with reinforced concrete pipe. In addition, the Town will install CDS-type units to remove sediment and pollutants and improve the water quality discharging from the new conveyance system. For FY2008 the Board budgeted $200,000 which represents one-half of the requested project funding for the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. For FY2009 the Town requested and received the remaining $200,000 funding to complete the project. Benefits The project will improve level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the service area. The CDS-type units will improve water quality in the area by removing pollutants and sediment from the surface runoff. Costs The total projected cost for this project is $800,000 of which the District's multi-year share is $400,000 and the Town's share is $400,000. Since this is a multi-year funded project, for FY2008 $200,000 was included in the Basin Board's budget. The probable construction costs are based on a BMP alternative analysis developed by the Town. For FY2009 the remaining $200,000 of cooperative funding was budgeted with the Town providing $200,000. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models.

L842 Pasco - WMPlan Lower Coastal Watershed Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Floodplain Management Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River Pasco County MAYER, RICHARD Status Ongoing Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the 1) Topographic information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan elements of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Lower Coastal Watershed. The watershed covers a total area of approximately 14.6 square miles and is located in soutwestern Pasco County. The watershed management plan will be used to address flood protection and water quality issues. Topographic information includes the acquisition of data and development of the terrain features in the Geodatabase to be used in the Watershed Evaluation. The Watershed Evaluation includes collection of existing data, GIS processing of the terrain features to establish catchments and connectivity, field reconnaissance, refinement of the terrain features and development of the hydraulic element point features. The Watershed Management Plan element includes: development of watershed parameters for a specific use, GIS processing, computer modeling, floodplain and water quality analysis, peer review, public notification/meeting, surface water resource assessment, establishment of LOS, and BMP alternative analysis. The issues in this watershed are flooding, land alteration and water quality. Additional development is expected in this watershed within the next several years. Benefits The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments with their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service, develops Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies, and provides a geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain and water quality management. Costs The projected cost for this project is $1,200,000, of which the District's share is $600,000. District's share is split among the Coastal Rivers and Pinellas-Anclote River Basin budgets, based on area. The County will contribute $600,000 as revenue. Since this is a multi-year funded project, funding has been budgeted over three fiscal years: $300,000 in FY2008, $400,000 in FY2009, and and $500,000 in FY2010. This completes the funding requirement for this project. Future funding will be required to begin implementing the BMPs recommended in the Watershed Management Plan. The BMP implementation will be managed as separate projects. When each element is completed the project budget may require refinement based on the information gathered. Additional Information The Watershed Management Program (WMP) includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of Best Management Practices, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The District has been working with the County for several years through the Watershed Management Program Coordination Document to develop a five year implementation schedule by watershed based on their projected funding levels, and funding available from others for example FEMA or State appropriations. A cooperative funding revenue agreement with the County has been developed as a multi-year funded project contingent on the approval of future funding to complete the WMP elements through the Watershed Management Plan. This is a multi-year funded project that will require a cooperative funding request each fiscal year until completed. This project will continue to be ranked as a 1A project in future fiscal years. The District will manage the project and enter into purchase orders and agreements to accomplish project tasks. Future cooperative funding requests and agreements will be required for the Implementation of BMPs and Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. The District is a cooperating technical partner (CTP) with FEMA, the floodplain results developed with this project will be used to update the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) panels associated with this watershed. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 259

L843 Pasco County ULV Toilet Rebate Program Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River Pasco County WRIGHT, CARL Status Ongoing Description This project offers financial incentives to water customers within the Pasco County Utility's service area to replace existing high-volume toilets (3.5 gpf or higher) with ultra-low flow (ULF) models to save potable water. The FY2008 project proposes to retrofit and rebate 500 residential toilets through an outside contracted consultant. This will be the first year of a 2-year effort. Benefits The water savings associated with this project is estimated to be 10,185 gallons of water per day or 3.7 million gallons per year. Costs The total project costs are $100,000. The Districts 50% share has been budgeted in FY2008 by the Pinellas-Anclote River and Coastal River Basins and is $25,000 respectively. The cost benefit for the project, using the total cost amortized over 20 years at 8% interest, is $2.70 per thousand gallons of water. Pasco County's share is $50,000. Additional Information In 2005, a public opinion survey conducted by Tampa Bay Water, about 60 percent of Pasco County residents surveyed indicated they would be willing to participate in a rebate program for low-flow toilets. A toilet flapper educational component will be included with this program. The ULV Toilet Rebate program is also part of Pasco County's overall 5-year Water Conservation Plan. As plumbing rebate projects have been ongoing in counties surrounding Pasco County, high citizen demand for such a program has been developing in recent years. The HET models are relatively new to the plumbing industry, and the Environmental Protection Agency recently completed a list of standards to help consumers select properly performing models.

N037 Lake SueMar Water Quality Enhancement Project Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River City of Dunedin LOPEZ, MANNY Status Ongoing Description This project is for the design, permitting and reconfiguration of Lake SueMar for enhancement of water quality entering Cedar Creek (and ultimately St. Joseph Sound.) The project would provide additional retention and treatment capacity for portions of the flows from the nearby channels. By constructing a water level control structure in the conveyance channel, along with overflow pipes and berms, normal flows can be diverted for treatment within Lake SueMar. The reconfigured Lake SueMar would serve to collect sediment and provide treatment across a littoral shelf to enhance the quality of water. Treated water would be released back for discharge into Cedar Creek. Project elements would be designed to continue to allow the passage of extreme weather flows over the control structures in the channels in order to avoid upgradient flooding. Benefits The project would provide treatment for stormwater flows from Channels A and C prior to release into Cedar Creek and ultimately St. Joseph Sound. Increased residence times will provide treatment and assist in control of downstream sedimentation. Costs The total cost of the project is $880,000 with the City of Dunedin and the District each contributing half ($440,000). During the development of their FY2009 budget, the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved $440,000 for the Lake SueMar Water Quality Enhancement Project. The District funding amounts listed in the table include staff salaries, travel and central garage charges. Additional Information The Lake SueMar stormwater pond was among the projects recommended in the City's Master Drainage Plan. The City recently acquired the Harris Tract comprising 4.34 acres of open space land and 1.25 acres of a part of Lake SueMar; the land acquisition cost was in the order of $600,000. The City controls the remaining 2.83 acres of Lake SueMar as a drainage easement. The total Lake SueMar area of 4.08 acres (2.83 acres easement 1.25 acres owned) provides the City with complete access to all of the lands needed to implement the proposed project. With Basin Board funding, the Lake SueMar Water Quality Enhancement Project began in the fall of 2009 and will be completed by October 2011. Project work is expected to complement the work of the Hammock Park Natural Systems Restoration Project (L401).

This modification maintains the project footprint within existing construction areas.the City of Dunedin initiated project construction on October 30, 2009. Excavation began January 2010. Refinement of excavations depths was implemented to limit exposure to clay beds encountered along portions of the lake basin. As of 4/20/2010 all project excavation is complete. Planting of littoral areas and mitigation areas is scheduled for late completion by early May 2010. Recent concerns with excessive bank erosion have required changes to portions of the planting plans. Modifications will be implemented and noted as as-built modifications. A modification to the ERP permit will be required to note the changes and maintain compliance with permit conditions for mitigation. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 277
N040 St. Petersburg - Imp BMPs at Terminal Drive South, Emerson Avenue South and Vicinity Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River City of St. Petersburg FRIES, GEORGE Status Ongoing Description This is a project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Palmetto Park Neighborhood. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. This portion of the watershed covers an area of approximately 0.04 square miles and is located in the City of St. Petersburg. A conceptual permit already exists for this project (Permit No. 4911158.00). This project consists of conveyance system improvements including a relief drain between Terminal Drive South and 22nd Street consisting of approximately 1,400 linear feet of 54" RCP, 330 linear feet of other smaller lateral pipes, manholes, curb inlets, grate inlets and a 700 foot long open swale collection system. The project will reduce the depth of street flooding for the 10-year one hour storm event from nearly 2 feet at the gutter to 0.5 feet. In addition, the city will install, as part of the previously-approved and cooperatively funded Project L751 (22nd Street South & Vicinity), a CDS-type unit to remove pollutants and improve the water quality discharging from the new relief drain. For FY2009 the city requested funding for the following tasks: construction of the BMPs and construction engineering and inspection. Project design and permitting will be done by in-house city staff. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the improvement area. The CDS-type unit will improve water quality in the area by removing pollutants and sediment from the surface runoff. Costs The projected cost for this project is $1,700,000 with funding divided equally between the Basin Board which provided $850,000 in the FY2009 budget and the City which provided $850,000. The probable construction costs are based on a BMP alternative analysis developed with the Stormwater Management Master Plan in 1994 but have now been updated to reflect current construction costs. The District funding amounts shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems while achieving flood protection. As part of a previously funded cooperative agreement with the District, the City, in 1994, developed a stormwater management master plan (SWMMP) and this project was identified as a needed conveyance system improvement. The existing stormwater conveyance system within the neighborhood is aged, undersized and in need of improvements. is included to begin and to complete the implementation of the BMP. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the City has been developed to complete the Implementation of BMPs. The City is managing the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 278

N041 Oldsmar Alternative Water Supply Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status City of Oldsmar FERGUSON, JOHN FERGUSON, JOHN, MCBRIDE, TAMERA Ongoing Description This project will result in design and construction of a brackish groundwater supply facility with the capacity to produce two million gallons per day (mgd) of potable water on an average annual basis. This phase of the City's alternative water supply project includes final design and permitting; preparation of bid documents; construction of 12 production wells at 6 sites; construction of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant (ROWTP); construction of the final byproduct injection well; and plant start-up. Benefits The City of Oldsmar currently purchases water from Pinellas County that is supplied from Tampa Bay Water's central wellfield system. According to the City of Oldsmar, this project will reduce the City's demand on Tampa Bay Water's regional system by approximately two mgd. Costs The total estimated cost for the Oldsmar Alternative Water Supply Project is $20,108,297, with the requested District share being $9,146,460. The District funding will be provided by Pinellas-Anclote River Basin. Total District funding budgeted to date (FY2009) is $4,500,000. District funding in FY2010 is $4,646,460, for a total of $9,146,460. The City has been approved by the ARRA for a $3,000,000 loan for the project. The City was not eligible for an ARRA grant or loan forgiveness, based on the median income of the neighborhood in which the water supply project will provide service. The entire loan must be repaid within 20 years. Additional Information The District has historically funded only hydrogeologic testing and feasibility studies pertaining to brackish groundwater supply projects and had not previously funded construction for groundwater production wells from the upper Floridan and associated treatment plants. The Governing Board re-evaluated and revised this long-standing policy in December 2007 at the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's request, which made this project eligible for construction funding. Phase 1 of this project was a preliminary feasibility study that was completed in 1999. Phase 2, completed in 2003, provided details on major issues pertaining to wellfield evaluation, treatment and concentrate disposal evaluation, and permitting. The Phase 1 and 2 feasibility studies were funded by the District as project number P783 for a budgeted total of $229,364. The total budgeted cost for Phase 1 was $80,000, of which the Basin's share was $40,000. The total budgeted cost for Phase 2 was $614,285, of which the Basin's share was $189,364. The studies concluded both the Tampa Limestone and Upper Suwannee groundwater zones were suitable and treatable as a municipal water supply; negligible surficial aquifer drawdown would occur; controlled withdrawal would not impact the Floridan Aquifer system and existing wellfields; and there would be negligible effect on established lake and wetland levels. Phase 3, preliminary design and permitting, was not funded by the District. This phase included data collection, ground and surface water impact modeling, preliminary facility designs and permitting. As part of Phase 3, Water Use Permit No. 20011218.001 was issued by the District on April 25, 2006 and Class V Group 9 Exploratory Byproduct Injection Well Permit No 265289-001-UC was issued by FDEP on January 5, 2007. The Cooperative Ageement for Phase 4, the current design and construction project (N041), was signed by the Executive Director on June 12, 2009. Based on information provided by the City in March 2008, the projected unit cost at the time of plant startup in FY2011 is $2.97 per 1,000 gallons with Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board funding. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's contribution will make the City's cost to produce water lower than they expect Pinellas County Utilities' rates will be in FY2011 ($3.31 per 1,000 gallons.) The City is accomplishing this project under four separate construction contracts. The first contract is for construction of the production wells. The second contract is for a reverse osmosis system supplier (ROSS) that will assist in the final design of the treatment facility, procure the reverse osmosis equipment and coordinate its installation, conduct system start-up and testing, and provide training and support for City operational staff. The third contract is for general construction, which includes the facility buildings and associated raw water, storage, and byproduct lines. The fourth contract is for the byproduct deep injection well and adjacent monitoring wells. The FDEP permit to discharge byproduct from the proposed reverse osmosis water treatment facility into the Avon Park Formation deep injection well was issued on May 7, 2009. The Production Wells contractor was given a notice to proceed on August 10, 2009, and has commenced construction. Subsequently, the 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 280
N041 Oldsmar Alternative Water Supply City submitted it's first invoice for design services to the District. The Injection Well contractor was issued a notice to proceed on October 27, 2009.

Production Wells: All well site easements have been acquired. Construction of the production and monitor wells at the six well site locations along or near Forest Lakes Road commenced in August, 2009, and is nearly complete. Additional casing work is being conducted on two wells to reduce sediment mobilization. The initial water quality observed in partially completed wells is better than anticipated. ROSS: Harn RO Systems was awarded the system supplier contract in August, 2009, and was given a notice to proceed on October 21, 2009. The system supplier is now assisting with the final design of the water treatment plant. The plant design is currently 60% complete, and construction expected to begin on the building in the spring of 2010. Assembly of the RO skids may take place in advance at the supplier's facility in Venice, Florida. Once the facility is operable, the supplier will offer training and support to City staff as they commence water production. General Construction: Due to the ongoing wellfield development, the City is separating the general construction activity into two phases and construction contracts; for the raw water and byproduct pipeline construction, and RO facility construction. This allows the City to expedite the pipeline installations. The City has finalized the designs of the raw water and pipeline from the well sites to the the RO facility, and the byproduct pipeline from the RO facility to the injection well site. Bid documents were submitted to the District on January 12, 2010. Byproduct Injection Well: The City awarded the contract for recasing their deep exploratory well for use as a byproduct injection well in August 2009. The awarded contract was for about half the cost anticipated by the city. The driller was issued a notice to proceed by October 27, 2009, and work is ongoing. Mud, gravel, and other debris was discovered in the exploratory well but has been removed, and the well is restored to its original condition. The replacement 26" casing for the injection well was back-ordered for a few weeks causing a minor delay, but work has resumed. ACTION-TO-DATE: On-time. An information request concerning the Accelerate Florida Program was mailed to the cooperator on October 15, 2008. The District's project manger followed up with emails on January 16, 2009, February 9, 2009, a phone call on February 9, 2009. The City notified the District that the project is moving as quickly as possible and there are no opportunities to accelerate the project. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 281
N044 LID Imp Pilot to Improve SW Quality Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River City of Largo PRATER, CORRINA Status Ongoing Description The purpose of this multi-year project is to improve stormwater quality by resurfacing unpaved alleys in a portion of the City with a Low Impact Development (LID) alternative to prevent erosion and reduce sediment pollution of receiving water bodies. The majority of alleys within the City of Largo are unpaved, and are mostly comprised of gravel, crushed shell or asphalt millings. During rain events, fine sand and shell materials from the unpaved alleys are washed away onto adjoining roadways and into the municipal stormwater system. The eroded material contributes to sediment pollution of local waterbodies. This pilot project, which is identified in the City's FY2008-2013 Capital Improvement Plan, would examine LID technology and other innovative alternatives to paving including pervious pavements and other treatments to stabilize the alleys, and create traps to capture sediment. The project is phased over two years. The first phase of the project includes design and cost estimates in FY2009. Construction is the second phase and is expected to commence in FY2010. Benefits The purpose of this multi-year project is to improve unpaved alleys throughout the City to prevent erosion and reduce sediment pollution of receiving waterbodies. Costs The total cost of the project is estimated to be $460,000 for design and construction, with funding occurring over two fiscal years (FY2009 and FY2010). The FY2009 budget was $60,000 with the City and the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board each contributing half ($30,000). The FY2010 budget is $400,000 with the City and the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board each contributing half ($200,000).

The City has 30% construction plans done and the Geotech and survey have been completed. The District received an electronic copy of the 30% construction plans. The survey costs exceeded the anticipated budget so the City has reviewed the types of LID they can implement to keep the project within the budget and finish as many alleys as possible. The City had their pre-application meeting with the Tampa Regulation Department on April 15, 2010. District Staff attended the meeting and received the current construction plans. Tampa Regulation had no problems with the designs. The City will submit a notice general permit. District Staff has a few concerns with the three options the City has provided and requested the City explain why they are choosing to use the 1/3 cement, 1/3 LID pavement, 1/3 cement option. District Staff is waiting for a response from the City. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 283
N045 Bayview Drive Shoreline Restoration Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Belleair RHINESMITH, PHILIP Status Ongoing Description This project, located in the Town of Belleair, consists of restoring approximately 2,800 linear feet of undeveloped shoreline along the westerly right-of-way of Bayview Drive, facing the Intracoastal Waterway. The side slopes in this area have been eroded by excessive stormwater runoff, normal tidal fluctuation and storm wave action. In several areas, the top of bank has been eroded to within 20 feet of the existing Bayview Drive pavement. Future storms and/or hurricanes may compromise the roadway. The proposed solution for this problem would be to reconstruct the shoreline with a maintainable slope, provide wave/erosion protection, restore the native vegetation along the length of the project and replace and/or restore damaged trees. Swales will be created along the top of bank to treat runoff prior to collection in sump bottom inlets receiving runoff from the roadway. Benefits The project will reduce erosion by stabilizing the bluff overlooking the Intercoastal Waterway thereby eliminating sedimentation of seagrass beds. Additionally, the project will treat stormwater that discharges directly into the Intracoastal Waterway. Native plants will be installed to replace nuisance exotic plants that currently inhabit the site. Costs The FY2009 project cost is $5,000,000, with the Town of Belleair and the District each requested to contribute half ($2,500,000). The District share will be funded by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board. The table below includes $4,734 in FY2011 for staff salary, travel and central garage charges.

N114 Pasco County ULV Toilet Rebate Program - Phase II Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Status Pasco County WRIGHT, CARL WRIGHT, CARL Ongoing Description This is the second year of an ongoing project to offer financial incentives to water customers within Pasco County Utility's service area to replace existing high-volume toilets (3.5 gallons per flush (gpf) or more) with ultra-low volume (ULV's) that use 1.6 gpf or less or High Efficiency Toilets (HET's) toilets that use 1.28 gpf or less. The FY2009 project proposes to employ a contractor to replace up to 1,500 single-family and commercial toilets. A maximum of two rebates per account per fiscal year will be honored. Benefits Once all 1,500 toilets are rebated, the savings will approximately be 35,708 gallons per day. The total project savings is estimated to be 13,033,420 gallons per year. This is calculated using 750 ULV's (9.7 gpd savings/fixture; total savings of 16,733 gpd) and 750 HET's (11 gpd savings/fixture; total savings of 18,975 gpd). Costs The total project costs are $220,000. The Districts 50% share has been budgeted in FY2009 by the Pinellas-Anclote River and Coastal River Basins and is $55,000 respectively. The cost benefit for the project, using the total cost amortized over 20 years at 8% interest, is $1.69 per thousand gallons of water. Pasco County's share is $110,000. Additional Information Pasco County Utilities plans to continue the program over a number of years. In a 2005 public opinion survey conducted by Tampa Bay Water, about 60 percent of Pasco County residents surveyed indicated they would be willing to participate in a rebate program for low-flow toilets. One year of account-level metered water-use data prior to and one year of metered water use after the retrofit installation will be collected as the raw data for the final savings analysis. Pasco County Utilities will provide actual billing data and ensure 100 percent fixture inspection. This project will also institute an educational program designed to assist customers in long-term maintenance related to water savings, such as selecting parts for repairs, leak detection and choosing proper replacement flapper models for their HET or ULV toilets. Ultra-low volume (ULV's) use 1.6 gpf or less and High Efficiency Toilets (HET's) toilets use 1.28 gpf or less. This effort will ensure the retrofit fixture will remain a water-conserving fixture of its life-expectancy. Bi-monthly status reports will be provided to the District to update project accomplishments. The first phase of this project (Project # L843) provided rebates for 500 toilets in West Pasco County, with funding split equally between the Coastal Rivers Basin and Pinellas-Anclote River Basin ($25,000 each). Based on the assumption that 2 out of every three customers in each basin will participate in the rebate program, when Phase 2 is complete, the approximate number of remaining (potential) rebates is as follows: Coastal Rivers Basin Board (25,173), Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board (5,444), Hillsborough River Basin Board (4,868), Withlacoochee River Basin Board (369). 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 286

N121 Pinellas County Low Flow Toilet Rebate Program Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Conservation Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County Utilities ANDRADE, ANTHONY Status Ongoing Description This program offers financial incentives to water customers of Pinellas County Utilities for replacing existing, high-volume toilets with ultra-low flow (ULF) models. This seventh phase of the project will target the replacement of approximately 8,000 high volume toilets. Rebates of up to $100 for each low flow toilet installed are being offered to single family, multi-family, and commercial customers who receive their water supply directly from the County or from the county's wholesale water customers, the cities of Clearwater, Pinellas Park, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs and Oldsmar. Requested funding also covers the administrative costs associated with utilizing a consultant to administer the program. Administrative costs are estimated at $37 per toilet. The county will incorporate into their program all requirements for cooperatively funded toilet replacement projects, including inspection, a survey of customer satisfaction, and reporting of actual water savings. Benefits This project is anticipated to save an estimated 164,000 gallons of water per day. Costs The total project cost is $1,101,000, and the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved funding in the amount of $550,000 in FY2009. The cost amortized at 8 percent over 20 years, is $1.85 per thousand gallons saved. Additional Information In Pinellas County's toilet replacement target area, 422,000 high flow toilets were estimated to exist at the outset of its Toilet Replacement Program. Of this amount, the county reports that 108,000 have been retrofitted, or will be by the end of ongoing projects. This leaves approximately 314,000 to be replaced by this phase (Phase 7) or future phases. It should be noted that it is not likely, or expected, that 100 percent of all conventional toilets will be replaced.

BMPs Anclote River Watershed SR54 Improvement Area Project Type Cooperative AORs Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Floodplain Management Pinellas-Anclote River Pasco County MAYER, RICHARD Status Ongoing Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the Implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) element of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for SR 54 Improvement Area. Implementation of BMPs includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents, construction permitting, land acquisition, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs, and construction engineering and inspection. The watershed covers an area of approximately 40 square miles and is located in Pasco County The project area is within the South and Sandy Branches of the Anclote River Watershed one mile east of the Suncoast Parkway. With FY2007 funding the assessment will be accomplished by performing elements of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP). The issue that is being addressed by this project is a culvert beneath SR 54 does not have capacity to pass stormwater runoff from extreme events without causing cause water to rise in upstream developments. Increasing the size of the culvert would increase flows downstream into the Sierra Pines development, an area already subject to frequent flooding. FY2009 funding will be used to design and permit a diversion of part of the stormwater flow into the Sandy Branch. Pasco County is addressing easements required for the project. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the improvement area. Costs The projected cost for this project is $700,000, of which the District's and County's share is $350,000 each. The probable construction costs are based on a BMP analysis developed by the cooperator. The District funding amount shown in the table includes staff salaries. Future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the Basin Board in the annual budget. When each element is completed the projected cost may require refinement based on information gathered and unforeseen circumstances. Since this is a multi-year funded project, for FY2009 $100,000 is proposed for the Basin's budget, with the County contributing an equal amount. The BMP analysis should be completed in August 2010. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. With prior year funding from Pasco County, Project 735, the Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation and Management Plan elements are being completed. The District has been working with the County for several years through the Watershed Management Program Coordination Document to develop a five year implementation schedule by watershed based on their projected funding levels, and any funding available from others, for example FEMA or State appropriations. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the County has been developed for Implementation of BMPs. The County will manage the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 290

Department of Environmental Mgt. NORTON, NANCY Status Ongoing Description This project is in response to a cooperative funding request from Pinellas County to dredge Lake Seminole. This project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Lake Seminole Watershed Management Plan (WMP, 2001), the state and federally approved Reasonable Assurance Plan (RAP, 2007), and the Lake Seminole Sediment Removal Feasibility Study (2006) for the removal of nuisance, nutrient rich sediments that have degraded water quality and lake habitats. The sediment removal project is the number one ranked alternative in the WMP for improving water quality and habitat and to meet the RAP goals. Benefits Removal of sediments within Lake Seminole will improve water quality and improve aquatic habitat. Costs The total project cost is estimated at $16,700,000. The FY2010 project cost is estimated at $700,000, with Pinellas County and the District each contributing half ($350,000). District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The District and Pinellas County entered into a Master Agreement for Lake Seminole in 1993 to fund a management plan and restoration alternatives. The jointly funded Lake Seminole Watershed Management Plan was completed in 2001. This plan details the existing conditions of the Lake Seminole Watershed and the actions required to restore the lake and meet habitat and water quality goals. In addition to sediment removal the plan recommended stormwater treatment projects. Several stormwater treatment projects are complete. Two stormwater treatment projects are ongoing now (W267 and P902). Dredging the lake to remove sediments was one of the recommended actions to improve water quality and habitat. This project will meet that goal.

The City of Dunedin, through a grant from FEMA, has acquired and subsequently demolished a repetitive-loss residence at the downstream portion of the subdivision. The project involves construction of a stormwater treatment facility on this 1.3 acre parcel to intercept runoff from approximately 70% of the 22 acre subdivision which will remove sediments and pollutants. Additionally, the stormwater pond will provide storage capacity to attenuate runoff and should alleviate flooding problems on the adjacent creek side (Curlew Creek) lots in the subdivision. Benefits The project will provide stormwater treatment for runoff from approximately 70% of the 22 acre Dunedin Ridge Subdivision. Currently, untreated stormwater runoff from the subdivision discharges directly into Curlew Creek (an impaired water body). The stormwater pond will also serve to provide storage/attenuation volume which will reduce or minimize flooding on a local level. This project, in conjunction with several concurrent CFI projects involving the City of Dunedin, will provide stormwater abatement on a regional level. Costs The total project cost is $400,000. The District will fund $200,000 in FY2010 with an equal match from the City of Dunedin. The funding amounts in the table below include salary, travel and central garage charges.

This alternative water supply project represents the next logical step following two previous District funded ASR related projects (L055 ASR Feasibility, and L739 ASR Design & Permitting) in the City's pursuit of seasonal reclaimed water storage. The exploratory well will be converted to a component of the full scale ASR system. Benefits The project will provide the data necessary to continue the pursuit of ASR storage which will enable the continued expansion of Oldsmar's reuse system. The development of a full scale reclaimed water ASR will significantly reduce the amount of Oldsmar's reclaimed water currently disposed of into Old Tampa Bay and will increase the seasonal availability of reclaimed water. Costs The total project cost of Phase IIB is $422,292, and the District's 50% share is $211,146. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board is funding its entire project commitment of $211,146 in FY2010. for the subsequent final full scale ASR phase will be requested in future years. The cost benefit cannot be calculated, since the project addresses system storage and efficiency, and offsets will be associated with future related transmission projects. Additional Information The ASR exploratory well will include the identification and evaluation of potential storage intervals above and below the base of the Underground Source of drinking water (USDW) as defined in FDEP F.A.C. Ch. 62-528, however the "targeted" ASR zone will be 10,000 mgl TDS or greater. The project will include the collection of standard penetration test samples, Shelby tubes in the unconsolidated sediments, wire-line core from the top of the rock to the total depth of the exploratory well, geophysical logs, packer pump tests, as well as water quality analysis.

N232 Pasco County ULV Toilet Rebate Program - Phase 3 Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Hillsborough River, Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River, Withlacoochee River Pasco County WRIGHT, CARL Status Ongoing Description This is a third year funding request for a toilet rebate project that offers financial incentives to single-family residential, multi-family residential and non-residential (commercial) water customers within Pasco County Utility's service area to replace existing high-volume toilets (3.5 gpf or higher) with ultra-low flow (ULF) models and high efficiency toilets (HET) to save potable water. ULF toilets use 1.6 gpf and HETs use 1.28 gpf. HET models are relatively new to the plumbing industry, and the Environmental Protection Agency recently completed a list of standards to help consumers select properly performing models. The applicant understands they must ensure the HET models associated with this project will meet the EPA standards in order to be eligible for District funding as part of the project. The ULV Toilet Rebate program is part of Pasco County's overall 5-year Water Conservation Plan. The FY2010 project (Phase 3) proposes to retrofit and rebate up to 1,500 residential and commercial toilets in four (4) basins through an outside contracted consultant. A toilet flapper educational component will be included with this program. As plumbing rebate projects have been ongoing in counties surrounding Pasco County, high citizen demand for such a program has been developing in recent years. In a 2005 public opinion survey conducted by Tampa Bay Water, about 60 percent of Pasco County residents surveyed indicated they would be willing to participate in a rebate program for low-flow toilets. Depending on the program's success, the Utilities Department may continue the program for additional years. The District's 50 percent share will come from the Coastal Rivers, Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River and Withlacoochee River Basin Boards and will be $25,000, respectively. Pasco County's share is $100,000. Benefits Once all 1,500 toilets are rebated, the savings will approximately be 35,708 gallons per day. Costs The total project cost is $200,000. The District has approved funding 50 percent, or $100,000. The District's funding share by basin is: Pinellas-Anclote River - $25,000, Coastal Rivers - $25,000, Hillsborough River - $25,000, Withlacoochee River - $25,000. Pasco County's share is $100,000. The cost amortized at 8 percent over 20 years, is $1.54 per thousand gallons saved. Additional Information Pasco County Utilities plans to continue the program over a number of years. In a 2005 public opinion survey conducted by Tampa Bay Water, about 60 percent of Pasco County residents surveyed indicated they would be willing to participate in a rebate program for low-flow toilets. One year of account-level metered water-use data prior to and one year of metered water use after the retrofit installation will be collected as the raw data for the final savings analysis. Pasco County Utilities will provide actual billing data and ensure 100 percent fixture inspection. This project will also institute an educational program designed to assist customers in long-term maintenance related to water savings, such as selecting parts for repairs, leak detection and choosing proper replacement flapper models for their HET or ULV toilets. Ultra-low volume (ULV's) use 1.6 gpf or less and High Efficiency Toilets (HET's) toilets use 1.28 gpf or less. The total project savings is estimated to be 13,033,420 gallons per year. This is calculated using 750 ULV's (9.7 gpd savings/fixture; total savings of 16,733 gpd) and 750 HET's (11 gpd savings/fixture; total savings of 18,975 gpd). This effort will ensure the retrofit fixture will remain a water-conserving fixture of its life-expectancy. Bi-monthly status reports will be provided to the District to update project accomplishments. The first phase of this project (Project # L843) provided rebates for 500 toilets in West Pasco County, with funding split equally between the Coastal Rivers Basin and Pinellas-Anclote River Basin ($25,000 each). The second phase of this project (Project # N114) provided rebates for 1,500 toilets in West Pasco County, with funding split equally between the Coastal Rivers Basin and Pinellas-Anclote River Basin ($55,000 each). Based on the assumption that 2 out of every three customers in each basin will participate in the rebate program, when Phase 3 is complete, the approximate number of remaining (potential) rebates is as follows: Coastal Rivers Basin Board (24,798), Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board (5,069), Hillsborough River Basin Board (4,493), Withlacoochee River Basin Board (0). 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 312

It will target the replacement of approximately 2,100 conventional toilets with ultra-low volume (ULV) toilets, which use up to 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf). Phase 7: (Ongoing): This FY2005 project targets the replacement of approximately 249 conventional toilets with ultra-low volume (ULV) toilets, which use up to 1.6 gpf. Efforts will be made to install a portion of the toilets in lowincome residential households, which represents an audience that traditionally has not had the funds to participate in the program. Phase 8: (Ongoing): This FY2006 project will target the replacement of approximately 1,050 conventional toilets with ultra-low volume (ULV) toilets, which use up to 1.6 gpf. Benefits Phase 7: This project is anticipated to save an estimated 9,000 gallons of water per day. Phase 8: The project is estimated to save 37,800 gallons of water per day. Phase 9: This FY2007 project is anticipated to save an estimated 47,250 gpd. Costs Phase 7: The total project costs for this project are estimated to be $50,000. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved funding in the amount of $25,000 in FY2005. The estimated cost is $1.53 per thousand gallons saved (20 years at 8% interest). Phase 8: The total project costs for this project are estimated to be $150,000. The City of St. Petersburg was allocated $75,000 from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's FY2006 budget. The estimated cost/benefit ratio for the project is $1.09 per thousand gallons (20 years at 8% interest). Phase 9: The total project cost is $300,000, and the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board approved funding in the amount of $150,000 in FY2007. The cost amortized at 8 percent over 20 years, is $1.75 per thousand gallons saved. Additional Information In addition to providing financial assistance for the installation of low flow toilets, a goal of the project is to educate all program participants on methods of indoor water conservation and proper maintenance practices to ensure low flow toilets remain a water conservative fixture. Educational materials on flapper replacement and other water conservation techniques will be disseminated to all program particpants, including the participants from previous phases.

Application Fund as a 1-A priority. The project addresses water supply and water quality priorities of the basin by offsetting groundwater use in the NTB WUCA and reducing wastewater effluent discharges into Tampa Bay. The project is local in nature; however, it will reduce the demands on the TBW regional system. There was adequate information available to evaluate the project and the cooperator confirmed it included all the necessary matching funds in its prior year capital budgets in FY2007, FY2008 and FY2009. The project is within the District's statutory authority to fund and is not the result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. The City ranked this project second on their list of nine FY2011 District funding requests (as a funded continuing project). The project meets the minimum project efficiency requirements and will not reduce the city's current system-wide reuse efficiency of 62 percent to below the District required minimum 60 percent level. This project includes the construction of infrastructure that makes an alternative water supply available to water users, and is potentially eligible for state funding through the Water Protection and Sustainability Program. Description This multi-year alternative water supply project consists of the design and construction of reclaimed water transmission mains, distribution piping, a 5 MG storage tank and high service pump station in the Skycrest area of Clearwater. The project includes approximately 16,500 linear feet of 24-inch and approximately 47,000 linear feet of 4-inch and 6-inch diameter reclaimed water lines. The project will connect the City's east reclaimed water service area with their west service area and provide service to nearly 500 residential and commercial reclaimed water customers in central Clearwater. The project will also include a number of smaller connections through out the City. The main distribution portion of the project is located north of Highway 60, west of Belcher Road, east of Saturn Road and south of Airport Drive. Benefits The project will provide 0.41 mgd of reclaimed water to offset 0.25 mgd of potable quality water. The project will also interconnect the City's three WWTP's, give the ability to move reclaimed water to areas of high demand, and provide for the pumping and storage necessary to serve additional customers in central Clearwater. Costs The total cost of this project is estimated to be $10,838,000 and the District's share is 50 percent, or $5,419,000. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board funded $512,500 in FY2007, $3,186,500 in FY2008, $500,000 in FY2010, and the final $420,500 has been requested in FY2011 to meet a total Basin funding of $4,619,500 necessary to complete the project ($1,599,000 in WPSTF also budgeted). The future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the District Governing and Basin Boards in the annual budget(s). In addition to Basin Board funding, in FY2008 $1,440,000, and $91,000 (from a cancelled St. Petersburg project), plus another $68,000 (from a cancelled Pasco County project) in Water Protection & Sustainability Trust Funds (WPSTF) included for the project for a total WPSTF allocation of $1,599,000. The existing allocation is within the maximum estimated limit of $1,734,080 in WPSTF funding. Of the total project cost, approximately 80 percent ($8,670,400) is expected to be needed for construction, and the remainder for design, permitting and administration. The cost amortized at 8 percent over 30 years is $10.44 per thousand gallons offset, however the cost effectiveness is not as excessive as it appears, as more than half of the project costs are associated with the interconnect and storage facility portions of the project which are imperative for the continued expansion of reclaimed water in Clearwater. Additional Information The City originally requested District funding for the elements of this project in two separate applications, however; the elements in each funding application were inter-dependant and therefore City and District staff agreed to combine all elements into one comprehensive project. The 492 active residential irrigation customers (450 using potable water and 42 using deep wells) anticipated to connect will use 0.33 mgd to offset 0.17 mgd of potable quality water. Eight commercial customers including Clearwater Golf Park (6,400 gpd flow; 4,800 gpd offset WUP#002981), David Martin Baseball Complex (6,400 gpd flow; 4,800 gpd offset WUP#002981), are also anticipated to connect. In addition to the 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 318
L695 Clearwater Skycrest Reclaimed Water Project Skycrest portions, this project also includes some minor distribution piping to Countryside High School (60,000 gpd flow; 45,000 gpd offset WUP#007980), and to cooling towers at the Pinellas County Government Complexes in Clearwater (6,000 gpd flow; 6,000 gpd offset). The remaining customers are churches and common areas. At project build-out the City anticipates serving more than 600 customers; however the offsets above only include the initial 500 customers. The City will meet all the District's reclaimed water distribution funding requirements including individual metering and obtaining a minimum of a 50% offset efficiency.

Application Fund as 1A priority. The project was funded in FY2008 through FY2010, and the FY2011 funding request is for the final amount needed to fulfill the District's share. for this project is being recommended consistent with the Governing Board's Cooperative Initiative Policy (130-4) and the Basin Board's approval of funding for this project in February 2008. Description This project will develop a brackish groundwater wellfield and reverse osmosis (RO) treatment facility to provide potable water to the City of Tarpon Springs. The project's initial design capacity was 5.0 mgd of potable water on an average annual basis. Project components include the design and construction of a brackish groundwater wellfield, treatment facilities, and byproduct treatment and discharge. The project will use locally available brackish groundwater from the upper Floridan aquifer. Water produced by the project will replace water that the City currently purchases from Pinellas County Utilities (PCU). The City currently purchases 3.0 mgd on an annual average and up to 5.0 mgd on a maximum daily basis. Benefits The City of Tarpon Springs purchased 2.870 mgd annual average during FY2007 from PCU. This water is supplied from Tampa Bay Water's central wellfield system. By producing their own supply from brackish groundwater, the City can become self sufficient, reduce the cost of water, and help disperse groundwater withdrawals. Costs The total estimated cost for the L825 Tarpon Springs AWS Project is $42,388,676 with the requested District share being $20,141,895. District funding will be provided by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board. Total funding budgeted to date (FY2008, FY2009, FY2010) is $19,120,948, or 95% of the total requested share. District funding requested in FY2011 is $1,020,947, which would to fulfill the remaining 5% of the requested share. Project funds will be used for the design and construction of the brackish groundwater wellfield, RO treatment facility, and concentrate disposal system. The estimated cost (2010 dollars calculated in 2008) to produce potable water was estimated at $3.34 per 1,000 gallons. With District funding, the City's unit cost decreases to $2.39 per 1,000 gallons, which is less than the PCU's projected rate of $2.89 per 1,000 gallons by project completion. Additional Information The Phase I Feasibility Study for this project (L249) was completed in July 2006. The budgeted cost of the Feasibility Study was $400,000 with the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board contributing 50 percent ($197,644 final cost). The District funded the hydrologic and geochemical data collection portions of this project. The Feasibility Study showed it was technically possible for the city to extract 9 mgd of brackish water, treat it by reverse osmosis, and yield 6.5 mgd of potable water on a maximum daily basis. However, preliminary modeling indicated impacts to adjacent wetlands could be an issue and may require mitigation. The City selected a project designed to produce 5.0 mgd on an annual average daily basis and up to 6.4 mgd of potable water on a maximum daily basis. Combined with the City's permitted fresh groundwater withdrawals (1.158 mgd annual average), up to 6.158 mgd would be available on an annual average basis, which is greater than the city's projected demands in 2030 of 3.94 mgd. The FY2008 funding decision for this project was delayed because the Governing Board was in the process of revising the Cooperative Initiative Policy (130-4), which, at the time the city submitted the cooperative funding application, did not allow the District to participate in funding construction of alternative water supply projects that develop groundwater. The Governing Board revised the Cooperative Policy in December 2007. The Cooperative Agreement was executed on January 21, 2009, and is effective from October 1, 2007 through December 31, 2011. District management of the project was transferred from the Hydrologic Evaluation Section to the Water Supply & Resource Development Section on March 6, 2009. The pilot plant study is complete. The RO treatment facility's preliminary design report was completed in February 2009. The City submitted the Water Use Permit application (WUP #20000742.009) on August 1, 2008. Resource Regulation staff issued the Request for Additional Information (RAI) #1 to clarify several issues including: justification for 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 322
L825 City of Tarpon Springs Alternative Water Supply Project demands, impacts to MFLs (including the Anclote River), impacts to wetlands; potential migration of contaminants at the Stauffer Superfund site, and updated parameters proposed for additional modeling by the City. The City submitted a response on December 31, 2008. RAI #2 was issued January 28, 2009, to clarify additional issues including: permit quantity, addition of a layer to the model, the Environmental Management Plan, and effects on minimum flows and levels. The City submitted a response to RAI #2 on April 28, 2009. RAI #3 was issued on May 27, 2009 to address further points including: a water quality action plan for the Stauffer facility, and additional modeling for support of a mitigation plan for the Anclote River. It was decided at this time that the application should be processed as a modification to the City's existing permit (expiring 2015.) A response to RAI #3 was submitted on September 22, 2009, that included a suggestion of using the City's permitted WWTF discharges into the Anclote River as a mediation. RAI #4 was issued on October 22, 2009, requesting further refinements to groundwater modeling. The City has until April 19, 2010 to prepare a formal response, which is expected contain a reduction in proposed withdrawals at the new wellfield down to 4.2 mgd annual average, 6.3 max day. The Cooperative Agreement contains following condition; "In the event that the finished potable water design capacity of the PROJECT is less than 5.0 mgd annual average (3.75 mgd firm capacity) and 6.40 mgd maximum day (4.80 mgd firm maximum day capacity), the DISTRICT reserves the right to reduce its share of design and construction funding in an amount equivalent to the percentage of capacity not attained." Although the WUP capacity request has been reduced, the City still intends to construct the facility to its initial design capacity. When their permit is ready for renewal in 2015, they will review environmental data to see if additional withdrawals can be reasonably requested. With the anticipated RO treatment efficiency, the finished water capacity would be 3.2 annual average, 5.0 max day at the proposed WUP withdrawal reduction above. The FDEP informed the City in May 2009, that it intends to issue a NPDES permit, allowing the disposal of RO concentrate into the cooling water canal at the Anclote River power plant. The discharge of concentrate will not be dependent on the Power Plant operations. The City submitted RAI #2 responses for to the FDEP for ERP and PWS permits.

L825 City of Tarpon Springs Alternative Water Supply Project more being favorable to dispurse withdrawal impacts. The City is preparing a design criteria package for the RO treatment facility. The City intends to be ready to bid the project's construction within short notice of a WUP approval. ACTION-TO-DATE: Delayed. The project has been delayed due to issues with WUP permitting. An information request concerning the Accelerate Florida Program was mailed to the cooperator on October 15, 2008. The District's project manger followed up with an email on January 16, 2009 and a phone call. The City sent a letter on January 28, 2009 that stated the following: "The City has been focused on accelerating the project from its early conception and continues to seek ways to complete the project in a timely and efficient manner. As you are aware, the City's project is already on a fast track schedule. The City selected a design/build procurement approach to accelerate the project construction process by combining certain parts of the design with simultaneous construction. Furthermore, the design/build approach tends to accelerate projects by maintaining a single point of project responsibility, thus reducing the risk of project slow-downs due to conflict resolution. Currently the City is awaiting approval of two critical permits before the project can proceed with construction. The first is the Permit to Discharge Demineralization Concentrate from a New or Existing Public Water Supply Facility, which will be issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The second is an Individual Water Use Permit, which will be issued by the SWFWMD. These two permits are currently under review by their respective agencies and are expected to be issued within a few months. In the meantime, the City completed a pre-qualification step for design/build contractor teams. An RFQ was issued in the summer of 2008 and five teams were pre-qualified. A short-list of pre-qualified teams was ratified by the City Board of Commissioners in November 2008. By having these teams on stand-by, the City is poised and ready to initiate the bidding process and will ask the pre-qualified teams to submit proposals pending permit approval. It is our belief that these measures will enable this vital City/SWFWMD water supply project to be started and completed in a timely and efficient manner." 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 324

N176 City of Clearwater Brackish Facility at Water Treatment Plant #2 Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Pinellas-Anclote River City of Clearwater WILL, SANDIE Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as 1A priority. The FY2011 funding request is for year two of a six-year project to design and construct a brackish groundwater wellfield system capable of supplying up to 5.0 million gallons per day of potable water on an annual average basis. The tasks for year two include wellfield engineering design, water use permitting, and permitting and construction of the concentrate injection well. There is sufficient data to evaluate the project; it is in within the Basin Board's statutory authority to fund; and it is not the result of a permit requirement or other enforcement action. Description The project includes the design and construction of a 6.0 million gallon per day (mgd) brackish groundwater supply facility to produce up to 5.0 mgd of potable water supply. Project components include: pilot plant testing, brackish wellfield construction including the installation of 9 additional production wells, design and construction of treatment facilities and raw water transmission lines, and byproduct treatment and discharge. The FY2010 funding includes preparing the basis of design (Phase 1 and 2) including: preliminary designs of pre-treatment facilities, reverse osmosis processes and the raw water system; site selections for monitoring and production wells for environmental audits and permitting; and site selection and design of a concentrate injection well. FY2010 funding also includes pilot testing of the treatment facilities (Phase 3) including designing the plant operation and preparing a Data Collection and Analysis Report. FY 2011 includes wellfield engineering design/permitting (Phase 3) and permitting/construction of the concentrate injection well (Phase 2). Benefits The City of Clearwater currently purchases water from Pinellas County that is supplied from Tampa Bay Water's central wellfield system. According to the City of Clearwater, this project will reduce the City's demand on Tampa Bay Water's regional system by approximately 5 mgd. Costs The City of Clearwater initially requested funding for this multi-year project in FY2010. Total project costs for FY2010 were $1,516,830, of which $758,415 was approved by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board. For FY2011, the City is requesting $648,500 in cooperative funding from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin (a total of $1,297,00 shared by the City and Basin). Future costs are expected to be $27,619,950 with $13,809,975 each from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board and the City. Previous feasibility studies in the amount of $1,787,663 were solely funded by the City in prior fiscal years. The future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board in the annual budget. Additional Information The City of Clearwater has solely funded the design, permitting and construction of three aquifer test production wells with associated monitoring well clusters in the past. The City does not have much aquifer information, so they will use the test production and monitor wells information to determine the brackish water zone to support modeling efforts for permitting. Once testing is complete, the City anticipates installing 9 additional production wells. The pilot study will be done to pilot pre-treatment/membrane technology and arsenic pre-treatment, so the future facility will be designed to appropriately treat the water from a total of 12 production wells. Prior to funding requests, the City solely funded activities including the production and monitoring wells design and aquifer performance testing; construction of test wells and monitoring well clusters; and analysis and financial feasibility studies. for fiscal years 2010 through 2015 include the following phases: Phase 1 - Pilot testing and preliminary design; Phase 2 - Concentrate Injection Well; Phase 3 - Wellfield Engineering Design and Water Use Permitting; Phase 4 - Wellfield Construction; Phase 5 - Treatment Plant Design and Permitting; Phase 6 - Plant Construction; Phase 7 - Engineering Construction Services. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 329

K422 Lake Tarpon ASR Test Well Program - Phase IV Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County Utilities ELLISON, DON Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as High priority. The FY2011 funding request is to cover the higher than expected costs for the surface infrastructure that is part of Phase IV of the project. The infrastructure includes a lake water intake, a filtration system, a degasification system, and a UV disinfection system that are part of Phase IV of the project. When the cost estimates were originally prepared for the project, there were no similar surface water treatment systems constructed to aid in the design or estimation of costs. Based on experience gained and lessons learned at sites that have been constructed and started operation since that time, additional funds will be necessary to construct the treatment system at Lake Tarpon. Without an increase in the surface infrastructure construction budget there will not be enough funds remaining to cover the laboratory costs associated with the two years of cycle testing that are planned. for previous phases of the project was for feasibility analysis, initial permitting, and construction of the ASR and monitoring wells. There was sufficient data submitted to evaluate the project, it is within the Basin Board's statutory authority to fund, and it is not the result of a permit requirement or other enforcement action. Description This funding request is for the previously funded Lake Tarpon ASR Test Well Program, Phases III and IV. The objective for the project is to divert excess water from Lake Tarpon, treat and store the water in the ASR system for recovery to the County's North reclaimed water system. Phase III has been completed with the ASR well and associated monitor wells constructed. Phase IV is currently underway with the design complete for the surface water intake system, pumps, filtration and disinfection treatment system, DO removal system and associated piping. Based on this design, the estimated cost for the infrastructure is higher than originally estimated. Since there is an increase in cost tor the infrastructure, additional money is requested to cover the laboratory cost associated with the upcoming monitoring for the two year cycle testing. In addition, the remaining money not spent in Phase III is requested to be utilized for the Phase IV to cover some of the higher infrastructure cost. The estimated cost of this funding request for laboratory analysis is $220,000 for FY 2011, and the entire amount is eligible for District funding. Therefore, the District is requested to reimburse the COUNTY for up to 50 percent of the eligible project costs. Benefits An ASR well will provide the county with an effective means to store excess surface water from Lake Tarpon. The stored water could be later recovered to augment the reclaimed water supply and to support lake management activities. Historical flow data from the lake indicate approximately nine mgd of surface water may be available for beneficial reuse. Costs Phase I (2 Exploratory wells): $297,866; Phase II (Permit Application): $57,356; Phase III (ASR Well D&C): $935,000; and Phase IV (Cycle Testing): $2,956,000. For FY2011, the County is requesting cooperative funding in the amount of $110,000 from the Basin to complete Phase IV of the project. This will increase the total cost of Phase IV by $220,000 ($110,000 each), from $2,956,000 to $3,176,000 and will cover the unanticipated infastructure costs and allow completion of cycle testing monitoring requirements. Additional Information This alternative water source project involves the construction and testing of an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) well near Lake Tarpon. The proposed budget for the design, construction, testing and permitting of an ASR well, associated monitor wells and infrastructure (Phases III and IV) is $2,900,000. Preliminary work (Phase I) involving the construction and testing of an exploratory well near the Lake Tarpon Outfall Canal Dam was initiated in early 2001 and completed in the latter half of 2001. Test results from the well indicated that the targeted storage zones within the lower Suwannee Limestone and Ocala Limestone at this particular site were not suitable for ASR because of poor water quality (total dissolved solids concentrations in excess of 10,000 milligrams per liter). The hydrogeologic conditions also indicated that there was a potential for poor water quality to migrate upward into the zone designated as an underground source of drinking water (USDW). As a result, the County abandoned this site, and in 2002, constructed a second exploratory well located ~2.5 miles north at Chestnut Park. The results obtained from this second test site indicate that a suitable ASR storage zone exists here and the consultant has recommended 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 331
K422 Lake Tarpon ASR Test Well Program - Phase IV proceeding with the development of a surface-water ASR system. The total cost for Phase I was $297,866 ($148,933 each; FY2000 & FY2001 budgets). Phase II of the project, initiated in June 2003, involved work required to obtain a permit to construct and test a Class V ASR test well from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The County submitted a final application in September 2004 and a permit was issued to the County by the FDEP in March 2005. The total cost for Phase II is $57,356 ($28,678 each; FY2002 budget). Phase III of the project will involve the construction, testing and hydrogeologic data collection of a 1-mgd ASR test well and two associated monitor wells. Phase IV is the final phase of the project and includes construction of the remaining ASR infrastructure (pipes, intakes, UV system, etc.), cycle testing, continued data collection and obtaining a final ASR operating permit. A second amendment was approved by the Basin Board at their June 2007 meeting to increase the cost of performing Phases III and IV, from a total of $2,900,000 to $3,981,000. The second amendment expanded the scope of work to address the issue of arsenic mobilization and provided additional funding to cover the increased costs associated with completing ongoing project tasks. The additional funds will be used for increased construction and operation costs; additional infrasture necessary to construct the project; and upgrades to the filtation system to meet high level disinfection requirements and improve the UV efficiency. The District's funds for the second amendment ($495,900) were transferred from the Board's WSRD Reserves. The County began work on Phases III & IV in Spring 2006 and is responsible for managing and supervising the major tasks of the project. The project meets the District's priorities in reducing the demand on the region's potable water supply and continuation of inter-governmental coordination focus as identified in the Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan. In the future, the County anticipates constructing two additional ASR wells to increase the supplemental water supply to three mgd during the dry season. Of the total cost for Phases III and IV, ($3,981,000), about 77 percent ($2,996,686) is expected to be needed for construction, and the remainder for design, permitting, and administration. In 2011 the County submitted a cooperative funding request to increase the Phase IV funding $220,000 to cover addtional cost associated with greater than expected infastructure costs.

However, due to equipment difficulties, Rowe was unable to commence construction activities until November 2006. An amendment to the project contract (between the District and Pinellas County) was drafted to include the State (SB144) funding information. It was approved by the County at its January 2007 Board Meeting. Approval of a second amendment to expand the scope of work and funding to cover increased construction costs was requested and approved by the Basin Board at the June 2007 Boards. The project will receive an additional $495,900 from the District. The County has completed the drilling of the ASR well and monitoring wells and submitted a well construction and testing report in August 2007. The County is currently in the process of completing design documents and bid specifications for the site work associated with the Lake Tarpon intake and pipeline to the ASR well. The District met with Pinellas County and their consultant to discuss the project status. The governor's request to expedite projects to help the economy was also discussed at this meeting. The County agreed to explore ways to expedite the project in the future; however, there is very little opportunity at this time to accelerate the project since they are ready to go out to bid for the final surface infrastructure work and the bid process has mandatory timelines associated with it. The County has also been waiting for early performance data and information on the degasification system at the City of Bradenton's ASR Pre treatment Pilot project prior to finalizing their design. In December, District staff and County staff visited the Bradenton site and inspected the City's degasification system to aid in the County's design. Early performance data from the Bradenton site indicates a potential for frequent fouling of the degasification contactors unless adequate pre filtration down to approximately 10 microns is utilized infront of the degasing system. The County originally had a 50 micron filter specified and budgeted. A change to a 10 micron filter will result in additional head loss in the system and reduce the flow rate under the current design. To switch to a 10 micron filter will require a redesign of several components to maintain the desired flow rate of approximately 1 mgd. The County's engineer is has assessed the project to determine if the filtration system changes can be accomplished within the current budget and has concluded that the changes will require additional funding. The County submitted a 2011 CFI request for $220,000 to cover the additional cost and allow completion of the pending cycle tests. Accelerated Action to Date: The project has been delayed as a result of design issues regarding the degasification system. The County's consultant has been working to resolve this issue and incorporate modifications into the design. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 333
K682 South Pinellas County Reclaimed Water ASR Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Water Quality Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Reclaimed Water Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County Utilities WILL, SANDIE Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as High priority. This project involves the conversion of three existing injection wells to ASR wells to provide seasonal storage of up to 3.0 mgd of reclaimed water from the County's South Cross Bayou Water Reclamation Facility. The FY2011 funding request includes costs to perform cycle testing and a mechanical integrity test required by FDEP for the first ASR well. The additional funding is being requested by the County because the necessary infrastructure improvements will cost more than originally anticipated due to equipment deterioration. for this project is being recommended consistent with recent modifications to the Governing Board's Cooperative Initiative Policy (130-4). There is sufficient data to evaluate the project; it is in within the Basin Board's statutory authority to fund; and it is not the result of a permit requirement or other enforcement action. Description Pinellas County is developing a 3.0 million gallon per day (mgd) reclaimed water aquifer storage and recovery system at the South Cross Bayou Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). The project involves converting three existing Class I injection wells at the facility into Class V Group 3 ASR wells (one mgd per well recovery). Phase 2 of the project began in FY2004 and consists of three major components including: 1) backplugging the injection wells to an appropriate zone for ASR and pump testing to evaluate water quality and recovery efficiency ; 2) preparation of a Class V permit application and a minor modification to the WRF operating permit; infrastructure improvements; and cycle testing to determine if the wells can be utilized for ASR; and 3) operational permitting. FDEP will also be requiring modified mechanical integrity testing of the first well to confirm the absence of leaks from the well casing. Benefits ASR wells will provide the County with an effective means to store excess quantities of highly treated effluent from the South Cross Bayou WRF. The stored water could be later recovered to augment the reclaimed water system during peak demand periods. A successful ASR program would allow for the addition of more customers to maximize the use of reclaimed water for non-potable demands and offset the use of potable water for irrigation. Costs The original, total cost for Phase 2 of the project was $613,000 ($306,500 each) with the Basin's total share budgeted in FY2004. In December 2009, the County requested an amendment to Phase 2 activities due to equipment deterioration and pipe resizing requirements, resulting in an increase in costs. To cover the costs for infrastructure improvements at the first well location, the remaining budget in Phases 1 and 3, as well as Contingency will need to be moved to Phase 2. Therefore, Phase 2 costs will increase to $461,170, no funds will remain in Contingency and future funding for Phase 3 will be determined. For FY 2011, the County is requesting funding to cover costs associated with FDEP permitting rquirements for cycle testing of the first well including additional water quality analyses and mechanical integrity testing in the amount of $330,000 ($165,000 each from the County and the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board). Phase 1 of the project was initiated in 2003 for the feasibility study with a total cost of $75,000 ($37,500 each from the County and the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board). Additional funding will be requested to complete the conversion of the first ASR well and the additional improvements and cycle testing for the conversion of the other two ASR wells. The future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board in the annual budget. Additional Information Phase I (initiated in FY2002) of this project was an ASR feasibility study which included quantifying available flow and demands of the reclaimed water, comparison of reclaimed water quality to drinking water standards and ambient ground-water quality, identifying local ground-water users, evaluation of hydrogeology and potential siting considerations. The results of the feasibility study (November 2003) indicated that conditions at the site were favorable for ASR. In their report, the consultant recommended that the County investigate the possibility of converting and utilizing the existing injection wells at the treatment plant. Additional water quality analyses, and hydrogeologic evaluation to fully evaluate potential ASR storage zones and determine the potential for using the injection wells were recommended as the next step for this project. A final feasibility report (Pinellas County South County Reclaimed 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 334
K682 South Pinellas County Reclaimed Water ASR Water Aquifer Storage Recovery Feasibility Study, November 2003) was submitted to the District in December. Four potential sites on the South Cross Bayou WRF and three potential storage zones have been identified for the test well. The consultant recommended additional water quality analyses, and hydrogeologic evaluation to fully evaluate potential ASR storage zones and determine the final selection of the ASR storage zone and site. As previously stated, Pinellas County has made the decision to delay moving forward with the permitting and construction of an ASR test well in order to first observe and evaluate the outcome of similar reclaimed water ASR projects currently underway in the city of St. Petersburg and Hillsborough County. Instead, additional water quality data, backplugging and hydrogeologic testing of the lower storage zone containing the injection wells will be conducted in the next phase of this project. This data will be used to determine the feasibility of using the former injection wells for short-term (i.e., one to two days) ASR. If the results indicate that short-term storage is possible using the former injection wells, the County will move forward with permitting and cycle testing of the modified injection wells. Phase II involves the permitting, design and construction of an ASR test well, monitor wells and associated infrastructure and is comprised of three major tasks: 1) Backplugging and testing of the existing injection wells; 2) ASR cycle testing, and 3) Operational permitting. Task 1 included an extended pump test with water quality sampling and analysis to determine the trend of total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations during recovery which will be useful in determining the potential for mixing effects on recovery efficiency. A technical report was prepared at the conclusion of Phase one to support the request to FDEP for authorization to proceed with operational cycle tests. Task 2 includes the following tasks: 1) Preparation of a FDEP Class V well construction permit application, 2) Preparation of a minor modification to the South Cross Bayou WRF FDEP operating permit, 3) performance of operational cycle testing, 4) Preparation of a technical memorandum, and 5) Response to requests for additional information from the FDEP. Task 3 includes: 1) Preparation of an operation and maintenance report 2) Preparation of a Class V FDEP operation permit application, 3) Preparation of a major modification to the South Cross Bayou WRF operation permit, 4) Preparation of a water use permit application, 5) Response to request for additional, information from the FDEP and District. The work performed in the first task will determine whether existing injection wells at the facility could be utilized as ASR wells. The test injection well will be designed to store and recover approximately one million gallons per day (mgd). The Phase II agreement was approved and signed by the District in June 2004 (06/30/2004). The agreement was funded in FY2004 and will remain in effect for seven years unless terminated in writing by the parties. In 2008, an infrastructure planning report indicated that the infrastructure and equipment (pipes, pumps, valves, etc.) associated with the injection wells have deteriorated beyond repair and need to be replaced or resized. These items were not anticipated at the beginning of the project and will result in higher costs. Therefore, the County requested a contract amendment to use the remaining funds from the original contract for the replacement of the infrastructure, and additional funds and to complete cycle testing of the first ASR well, as well as the remaining scope of work will be requested in future funding requests.

HULL, MARY MARGARET Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as High priority. The Florida Aquarium's focus on telling Florida's fresh water story makes this science-based attraction closely aligned to the District's mission. The Florida Aquarium Watershed Education Initiative proposes to continue programming that enhances the District's watershed education efforts by providing participants with a better understanding of Florida's ecology through workshops, hands-on field experiences and stewardship activities. This project is ranked high because of its alignment to the District's mission; its summer camp program for minority and at-risk students, which is an audience the District has identified for additional outreach; and its incorporation of multiple learning approaches providing water education for learning new behaviors and incorporating environmental leadership skills. Costs are the lowest among proposed youth education programs and quality is confirmed through evaluations and pre and post tests. Knowledge gain for FY2009 summer camps, for instance, was 25%, which falls within the preferred range of youth education programming. The proposed program is aligned with Basin Board priorities. Description This Cooperative Initiative (CFI) project proposes to educate teachers and students about Florida's water resources and natural environment. The Florida Aquarium requests support of a water resources education initiative that focuses on three distinct programs for elementary, middle and high school students and teachers. These programs are outlined below and include: What's in Your Watershed? summer camp, Science Education at Sea (SEAS) teacher training program and Regional Ocean Conference for Students (ROCS) workshop for teachers and students. While the proposed initiative primarily reaches students and teachers throughout Hillsborough County, it also draws schools from Polk, Pinellas, Pasco and Manatee counties. What's in Your Watershed? is a summer camp program designed to teach low-income, at-risk upper elementary and middle school students from local YMCAs and Boys and Girls Clubs in Hillsborough County the importance of the Tampa Bay watershed. The camp would provide an opportunity for youth to engage in interactive role-playing to learn about watersheds, water quality, water conservation and habitat protection. Throughout the proposed program, each student takes part in three field explorations within the Tampa Bay watershed. The What's in Your Watershed? program will be evaluated through a portfolio of student work, student and parent evaluation of the program using a written survey, instructor evaluation of the program and student pre/post assessements. SEAS is a teacher education program proposing to provide workshops for elementary, middle and high school teachers, focusing on estuaries and incorporating the learning objectives of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. It would allow teachers to explore current and future environmental issues and challenges facing those resources. The SEAS program evaluation will include a combination of pre/post assessments, workshop surveys and teacher journals. The proposed ROCS workshop component would give middle and high school students the opportunity to study several major water quality issues associated with local watersheds. Students will identify the issues and create action plans that are achievable and beneficial for the environment. SWIM staff participate in this conference.the ROCS workshop will be evaluated through pre/post assessments. Independent evaluation by Pandion systems for the ROCS component previously found that 86% of the teachers agreed that the project was a valuable addition to their student's education. Benefits The cooperator estimates that the FY2011 program will reach 223 students and teachers directly and 6,800 students indirectly. ROCS will provide an intensive workshop experience for high school students, providing opportunities for them to learn about local issues and related science and then create action plans that will result in positive environmental changes within their communities. The FY2011 project proposes a "What's in Your Watershed?" summer camp that addresses the important priority of getting traditionally underserved, inner-city youth outside exploring the Tampa Bay watershed. The program will give youth opportunities to explore current environmental issues and to use critical thinking to develop strategies for addressing impacts on their local watersheds. Costs The total cost of the FY2011 project is $43,346 with the District contributing $20,331 (Alafia River $5,136; Hillsborough 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 339
N014 The Florida Aquarium Watershed Education Initiative River $10,700; Coastal Rivers $1,070; Pinellas-Anclote River $1,285; Withlacoochee River $1,070; Manasota $1,070). Staff has removed the project from the Peace River Basin Board's budget with the cooperator's agreement. The dollar amount allocated per basin is determined by the number of participants projected to participate in the programming from each basin. District funding is requested for a summer camp, teacher training programs and a workshop for teachers and students. The program proposes to reach 223 students and teachers directly and 6,800 students indirectly at a cost to the District of $2.92 per person and $1.56 per contact hour. Budget lines below includes costs to manage projects. Additional Information The total FY2010 project cost was $44,741, with the District contributing $21,402 (Alafia River $5,174; Hillsborough River $10,686; Coastal Rivers $1,108; Pinellas-Anclote River $1,109; Withlacoochee River $1,109; Peace River $1,108; Manasota $1,108). The dollar amount allocated per basin was determined by the number of participants projected to participate in the programming from each basin. District funding supported a summer camp, teacher training programs and a workshop for teachers and students. This program was projected to reach 147 students and 80 teachers directly and 7,500 students indirectly at a cost to the District of $2.77 per person.

Application Fund as a high priority. Completing elements of the District's Watershed Management Program is a District strategic priority for managing the water resource, and providing information to local governments to address land use changes and stormwater management within a specific watershed. The City has ranked this project 5th of nine submitted for cooperative funding. Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation and 3) Watershed Management Plan elements of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Alligator Creek Watershed. The watershed covers an area of approximately 9 square miles and is located in Clearwater, and Pinellas County. The issues in this watershed are flood damage, land alteration and development, and water quality. Additional development is expected in this watershed within the next several years. The watershed management plan will be used to address flood protection and water quality issues. Topographic Information includes the acquisition of data and development of the terrain features in the geodatabase to be used in the Watershed Evaluation. The Watershed Evaluation includes collection of existing data, GIS processing of the terrain features to establish catchments and connectivity, field reconnaissance, refinement of the terrain features and development of the hydraulic element point features. The Watershed Management Plan element includes development of watershed parameters for a specific use, GIS processing, computer modeling, floodplain and water quality analysis, peer review, public notification/meeting, surface water resource assessment, establishment of LOS, and BMP alternative analysis. Prior funding was for the development of Digital Topographic Information and performance of the Watershed Evaluation element. For FY2011 funding is to complete the Watershed Management Plan. Benefits The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments with their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service, develops Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies and provides a geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain and water quality management. Costs The projected cost for this project is $900,000 of which the District's share is $450,000 and the City's share is $450,000. For FY2009, the District budgeted $200,000 and the City budgeted $200,000 for the Topographic Information and Watershed Evaluation elements of the Watershed Management Program. For FY2011, the City is requesting $250,000 in cooperative funding and the City will provide $250,000 in matching funds for the Watershed Management Plan element of the Watershed Management Program. When each element is completed the projected cost may require refinement based on the information gathered and unforeseen circumstances. The District funding amount shown in the table includes staff salaries. Additional Information The Watershed Management Program (WMP) includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of Best Manangement Practices, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The District is a cooperating technical partner (CTP) with FEMA; the floodplain results developed with this project will be used to update the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) panels associated with this watershed. This project is to update the ACWMP to include watershed changes and to current District standards. The City is managing the project, where the District project manager must approve any agreements to accomplish project tasks. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 342

Application Fund as High priority. This project is an indirect potable reuse feasibility study to determine if the City's highly treated excess reclaimed water flows (up to 3.0 mgd) can be used for direct aquifer recharge at the City's northeastern wastewater treatment plant. The recharge will provide a salinity barrier against saltwater intrusion and used as mitigation of effects of additional fresh groundwater withdrawals. The feasibility study consists of three main components including a desktop assessment, pilot testing and public outreach. The desktop assessment was approved for FY2010 funding by the Basin Board in August 2009, and District staff is currently reviewing contract agreement documents for this component. The City's FY2011 funding request is for the next two components (pilot testing and public outreach). Due to the delay in starting the desktop feasibility assessment, a modification of the ranking may be recommended in June 2010 if staff determines that the project will not be completed by the end of 2010. for this project is being recommended consistent with recent modifications to the Governing Board's Cooperative Initiative Policy (130-4). There is sufficient data to evaluate the project; it is in within the Basin Board's statutory authority to fund; and it is not the result of a permit requirement or other enforcement action. Description This is an indirect potable reuse feasibility study to assess the viability of directly recharging the Upper Floridan aquifer with 3.0 mgd of highly treated reclaimed water at the City's Northeast Advanced Pollution Control Facility (NEAPCF) to provide the City with a salinity barrier to impede saltwater intrusion as mitigation of future, additional fresh groundwater supplies from either the City's existing or new wells. The feasibility study includes: 1) a desktop feasibility assessment to evaluate nearby groundwater users; perform groundwater modeling to assess water level improvements and geochemical analyses to predict water quality changes in the aquifer; conduct regulatory reviews to determine permitting requirements; prepare preliminary public outreach planning to gain public acceptance; and preliminary pilot plant design to prepare for water treatment requirements; 2) pilot testing to include well permitting and construction to facilitate recharging the aquifer and pilot water treatment testing to determine water quality of the aquifer during recharge; and 3) public outreach activities to gain public acceptance. Benefits The City of Clearwater currently purchases water from Pinellas County that is supplied from Tampa Bay Water's central wellfield system. According to the City of Clearwater, the project would enable the City to utilize 100% of their reclaimed water (3 million gallons per day), supplement water supplies within the aquifer and possibly provide a seawater barrier to help prevent saltwater intrusion along the coast. Costs The City of Clearwater initially requested funding for this multi-year project in FY2010. Project costs for the feasibility study included in FY2010 were $450,000, of which $225,000 was approved for funding from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board. For FY2011, the City is requesting $768,125 in cooperative funding (a total of $1,536,250 shared by the City and Basin) for well permitting and construction, pilot testing and public outreach activities. Previous feasibility studies in the amount of $100,000 were solely funded by the City in FY2009. If the feasibility study is successful, the City plans to proceed with the design and construction of an aquifer recharge system. We anticipate that the City will continue to apply for Cooperative of future costs as well. The City has estimated future costs through FY2015 to be $25,353,750 with $12,676,875 each from Cooperative and the City. The future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board in the annual budget. Additional Information Currently, approximately 30% (3.5 MGD) of the City's potable water is pumped from three wellfields (33 total wells including 10 wells proposed and currently undergoing permit modification) owned and operated by the City, and the remaining 70% of the daily demand is purchased from Pinellas County Utilities. The feasiblity study will include an assessment of the type of aquifer recharge (direct or indirect) and the location of the groundwater replenishment system. The City plans to review the results of the Regional Reclaimed Water Partnership Initiative Project, "The 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 344
N179 City of Clearwater Groundwater Replenishment Project Feasibility of Using Reclaimed Water for Direct and Indirect Aquifer Recharge in the Tampa Bay Area" (H076) to outline the scope of work for the feasibility in order to not duplicate portions of the study that could be utilized in the Clearwater area. The following will be the phases for this project: Phase I - Formal Feasibility Study; Phase 2 - Hydrogeologic Services including well permitting, pilot testing and construction; Phase 3 - Engineering Design and Permitting including pilot treatment plant testing, and preliminary and final design of water purification plant; Phase 4 - Public Iniformation and Education; Phase 5 - Construction of water purification facility; Phase 6 - Engineering Construction Services.

Application Fund as a High priority. If constructed, the proposed project would provide stormwater treatment in an area that currently receives no treatment and thus would help protect and improve water quality within the Spring Branch Watershed. The project is consistent with the District's priorities for water quality improvement. Description This project involves implementing Best Management Practices to improve the water quality in the Spring Branch Watershed. The project proposes to provide on-site treatment of stormwater runoff using a continuous deflective separation (CDS) unit. The unit would be constructed onto the existing 12"x18" elliptical sewer. The unit will serve to collect and contain stormwater pollutants. The site is currently constructed of largely impervious maintenance buildings and vehicle parking facilities. The site was developed before stormwater regulations were implemented and was constructed to convey stormwater, without treatment into down gradient waterways. Benefits This project will improve water quality in adjacent surface waters by treating stormwater in the Spring Branch Watershed. Costs The total budget amount for this project is $220,000, of which the District's share is requested to be $110,000 funded entirely by the Pinellas-Anclote Basin in FY2011.

N243 Pasco County - Odessa High Service Pump Expansion Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Water Quality Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Reclaimed Water Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River Pasco County WRIGHT, CARL Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as a High priority. The project involves expanding the County's reclaimed water pumping capacity in Odessa to maximize the use of reclaimed water, especially in the central and eastern portion of Pasco County. The project is consistent with the Basin priorities and there is sufficient data submitted to evaluate the project, it is within the basin board's statutory authority to fund, and it is not a result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. Description This project consists of the expansion of the Odessa Reclaimed Water Pump Station to approximately 10 MGD. This planned expansion is necessary to increase the capacity of the West-Central Interconnect allowing additional flow to be transported from the western portion of Pasco County's Reuse System where reclaimed water supply is abundant to the eastern portion of the system where the irrigation customer base is expanding most rapidly. In addition, expanded pumping capacity will be needed in order to transmit future flows coming into Pasco County from Pinellas County upon completion of an ongoing project (Clearwater/Largo/Pasco County Interconnect - H012) Benefits This project will increase the efficiency of reclaimed water transfer from West Pasco to East Pasco. Currently, pump capacity at the Odessa site is inadequate to efficiently propel available reclaimed water flows from the New Port Richey WWTP (jointly owned with the City of New Port Richey) through the West-Central Interconnect to the central and east portions of the Pasco County where reclaimed water demand is growing. The pumping expansion will allow the county to fully utilize the 10 mgd capacity of the West-Central Interconnect, which is currently limited to approximately 8 mgd. Additionally, the additional pumping capacity will allow efficient transmission of reclaimed water flows expected to come from Pinellas County as a result of another project (H012). Costs The estimated total project cost is $600,000, and the District's share is requested to be 50 percent, or $300,000. Pasco County is requesting funding in the amount of $150,000 from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board and $150,000 from the Hillsborough River Basin Board in FY2011.

N245 Water Conservation Program Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Conservation Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River Florida Governmental Utility Authority NOURANI, MEHRSHAD Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as a High priority. The project addresses water supply priorities of the basin board by saving potable water supplies through conservation. The cooperator has confirmed it will include the necessary matching funds in its capital budget in FY2011. There was sufficient data submitted to evaluate the project, it is within the basin board's statutory authority to fund, and it is not the result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. Description The Florida Government Utility Authority (FGUA) proposes a Water Conservation Incentive Program for consideration of funding by the Coastal Rivers and Pinellas-Anclote basins for FY2011. The FGUA is a private utility which serves more than 1,000 residential single-family customers in its service area. The program will provide FGUA customers account credits for the purchase and installation of low-flow toilets to residential customers replacing toilet fixtures designed and installed prior to 1995. The FGUA will provide up to a $100 account credit for the purchase of a low-flow toilet and a $60 account credit for the purchase of a second low-flow toilet. The program will cover the replacement of up to 100 toilets, with a maximum of two rebates per customer account. Benefits This project will help to reduce residential indoor water use by replacing high-flow toilets with low-flow toilets and promote conservation. The project can help reduce per capita use within the Tampa Bay area. It is estimated that total 2,229 gallons per day will be saved in both basins. Pinellas-Anclote River basin will save approximately 1,783 gallons per day and Coastal River basin will save nearly 446 gallons per day. Costs The total project cost is estimated to be $21,862. The District is requested to reimburse FGUA for up to 50 percent of the eligible project costs up to a maximum of $10,931. The Pinellas Anclote Basin contains approximately 80 percent of the FGUA Pasco Utility System customers, so the FGUA is requesting the Pinellas Anclote basin contribute 80 percent of the requested funding, or $8,745. The remaining 20 percent of FGUA Pasco Utility customers are in the Coastal Rivers basin, so the FGUA is requesting the Coastal Rivers basin to provide 20 percent, or $2,186. The estimated cost/benefit ratio for the eligible portion of the project calculated at an 8 percent annual interest rate over 20 years is $2.76 per 1,000 gallons saved for the entire project, based on possible total eligible project cost of $21,862. Additional Information According to an opinion poll conducted by Tampa Bay Water in 2005, nearly 60 percent of Pasco County Residents signified they would participate in a low-flow toilet rebate program if it was offered. The purpose of the program aims to decrease the amount of water consumed during toilet flushing in residential communities within its service area by encouraging customers to purchase low-flow toilets. The program also would provide water conservation informational materials and educational flyers, including education on maintaining toilet flapper valves, checking for toilet leaks and other ways the FGUA customers may save water expended from their bathroom fixtures. A contractor, Demetri Solutions, will inspect, authorize, dispose of old toilets and report account credits to the FGUA for customers that have successfully installed new low flow toilets. The FGUA, through its management contractor, Government Services Group, will be tasked with developing and maintaining records of program participants, providing credits to customer accounts and reporting project milestones to SWFWMD. Additional information, including the Project Scope, and the spreadsheets for estimated savings, Program costs, and cost benefit are available in the attachment sections. There are 10,225 pre-1995 residential accounts eligible for rebate in the FGUA service area. 7,109 of them are in Pinellas-Anclote basin and 3,116 are in Costal River basin. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 349

Application Fund as a High Priority. When implemented, this project will provide stormwater treatment and reduce nutrient and sediment loads to Lake Paloma and St. Joseph Sound. The project is consistent with the District's priorities for water quality improvement. The project is within the District's statutory authority and is not the result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. Description This project is for the installation of a stormwater filtration device and the replacement of existing stormwater piping to increase capacity along San Christopher Drive. The City of Dunedin has an extensive stormwater collection system in its Brickyard Creek Watershed, part of which collects stormwater along San Christopher Drive and discharges, without treatment, into Lake Paloma. Lake Paloma, in turn, discharges via an overflow structure to other pipelines and culverts and eventually into St. Joseph Sound. The City's Master Drainage Plan identifies the stormwater system along San Christopher Drive as undersized and in need of replacement/upsizing to alleviate local nuisance flooding. As part of this activity, the City will install a stormwater filtration device on the outfall of the new system to provide water quality treatment. The proposed pipelines would be constructed through two City owned properties. The properties presently serve to provide vehicle parking primarily for access to the Pinellas Trail. A stormwater filtration device, similar to those installed at other City sites, will be constructed on the proposed 34"x53" elliptical pipeline as it crosses the southeast part of the City property. The unit will serve to collect and contain stormwater pollutants to improve downgradient water quality in Lake Paloma and St Joseph Sound. The increased capacity of the upsized pipes will serve to alleviate nuissance street and yard flooding along San Christopher Drive and adjacent streets served by the storm system. Benefits This project will serve to alleviate nuissance street and yard flooding along San Christopher Drive and adjacent streets and improve water quality by collecting and containing stormwater solids and pollutants. Costs The FY2011 total estimated total cost of the project is $350,000, with the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin and the City of Dunedin each contributing half ($175,000). Updated cost estimates will be calculated during the final design phase of the project. District funds in the table below include salary, travel, and central garage charges. Additional Information The City of Dunedin is aggressively improving its stormwater management facilities with emphasis on improving the quality of stormwater discharged into adjacent surface waters. The City of Dunedin code of Ordinances, Chapter 122 (Article II) & (Article III) Floodplain Management, establish standards, regulation and procedures in the development, implementation and enforcement of water conservation and flood protection. The City of Dunedin remains in compliance with the requirements set forth in their NPDES MS4 operating permit. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 351

Application Fund as high priority. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is the standard, cost-effective technology employed by the District to collect topographic information, and is often coupled with imagery collection to maximize benefits afforded by the economies of scope. For Pasco County, LiDAR data acquired over six years ago no longer accurately represent the terrain for many watersheds in this county. An increase in the County's population since 2004 has modified topography and expanded infrastructure. To ensure these alterations are accurately represented in watershed models and flood plain analyses, it is crucial to update the terrain information for Pasco County using LiDAR. District staff will work with the County to prioritize watersheds as countywide mapping using LiDAR has often proven to be infeasible for a single fiscal year. Required funding amounts may be modified due to the alterations of project scope. Description Several areas within Pasco County have experienced significant increases in population, landscape modifications, and substantial infrastructure improvements of State Highways since 2004 when original Countywide topographic information was collected. In these areas such changes have rendered existing topographic data inaccurate. The County is proposing to update topographic data using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to collect elevations for select areas within the County. LiDAR uses an advanced laser distance-measuring device and geographic reference system that automates the capture of surface elevations at a fraction of the cost of previous mapping approaches. The proposed technology is consistent with the District's standard practices of topographic mapping. The project is part of a County-wide topographic information mapping effort that will re-map priority watersheds on an as needed basis. Future funding will be requested as additional areas are identified and prioritized. In FY2011, approximately 325 square miles or one-third of the County will be mapped using LiDAR. This includes four watersheds identified by the County and the District as being high priority due to significant topographic changes since 2004, and as dictated by watershed management plan updates and flood insurance rate map schedules. The deliverables from the project will include surface elevations that meet the District's and the Federal Management Agency's (FEMA) mapping specifications. The data will be compatible with the County's and District's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) databases. The primary purpose of the data will be to support cooperative District and County projects that will result in the update of FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). Additionally, the data will provide current topographic information within the County and for Digital Terrain Modeling, support planning for future watershed management programs, design and implementation of any large-scale drainage improvement projects, assist in emergency preparedness planning, Homeland Security and will allow for more accurate and efficient mapping of wetlands." Benefits Pasco County has adopted Ordinance 01-08 requiring the following: one day per week irrigation restrictions for potable water; curtailed use of potable water for irrigation when rain has occurred within the last 24 hours; scheduled availability and restricted use of reclaimed water for lawn and landscape irrigation to 2 days per week county-wide to serve as many customers as possible; washing of non-business, personal vehicles only using low volume methods and over non-impervious surfaces; prohibiting aesthetic uses of water unless such provides a necessary aeration or water quality benefit; and the use of reclaimed water for road construction activities when available. Enforcement of this ordinance is by designated County personnel and law enforcement officers. During Water Year 2004, 100% of Pasco County Utilities' wastewater was reused. The bulk rate currently charged for the use of reclaimed water is $0.61 per 1,000 gallons and a flat rate of $11.00 per ERU per month for residential irrigation. Pasco County's potable water rates have been adjusted with steeper water conservation inclining block rates. County Ordinance 93-16 requires each new development to construct a reclaimed water distribution system as a condition of wastewater service when the development is within designated areas in the reclaimed water master plan and providing the development with reclaimed water is determined to be in the best interest of the County. Pasco County has also adopted Landscape Ordinance 02-04 that restricts the use of non-drought tolerant turf grass and encourages drought tolerant landscaping. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 353
N267 Pasco County Topographic Mapping Pasco County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program administered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Application Fund as a high priority. This multi-year project is for the development of a WMP for Allen's Creek Watershed in Pinellas County. Completing elements of the District's Watershed Management Program is a District strategic priority for managing the water resource, and providing information to local governments to address land use changes and stormwater management issues within a specific watershed. A senior administrator has provided confirmation that the County will budget the project for FY2011. Description This is a multi-year funded project to perform the 1) Topographic information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan elements of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Allen's Creek Watershed. The watershed covers a total area of approximately 5,000 acres and is located in Pinellas County. The watershed management plan will be used to address flood protection and water quality issues. Topographic information includes the acquisition of data and development of the terrain features in the Geodatabase to be used in the Watershed Evaluation. The Watershed Evaluation includes collection of existing data, GIS processing of the terrain features to establish catchments and connectivity, field reconnaissance, refinement of the terrain features and development of the hydraulic element point features. The Watershed Management Plan element includes: development of watershed parameters for a specific use, GIS processing, computer modeling, floodplain and water quality analysis, peer review, public notification/meeting, surface water resource assessment, establishment of LOS, and BMP alternative analysis. With FY2011 funding the work on the Topographic Information and Watershed Evaluation elements will begin. When each element is completed the project budget will be refined based on the information gathered. Future funding will be required for the remaining elements of the Watershed Evaluation and for the Watershed Management Plan element of the Watershed Management Program. Benefits The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments with their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service, develops Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies, and provides a geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain and water quality management. Costs The projected cost for this project is $650,000 of which the District's share is $325,000. For FY2011, $250,000 is appropriated in the Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board's budget with revenue of $125,000 from Pinellas County. The District funding amount shown in the table includes staff salaries. Future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by the Basin Board in the annual budget. When each element is completed the projected cost may require refinement based on information gathered and unforeseen circumstances. Additional Information The Watershed Management Program (WMP) includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of Best Management Practices, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The District is a cooperating technical partner (CTP) with FEMA, the floodplain results developed with this project will be used to update the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) panels associated with this watershed. A cooperative funding revenue agreement with the County will be developed as a multi-year funded project contingent on the approval of future funding to complete the Implementation of BMPs. This project requires a cooperative funding request and ranking each fiscal year until completed. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 355

Application Fund as a high priority. If constructed, the proposed project will improve water quality of stormwater discharged into St Joseph Sound by constructing two continuous deflecitve separation (CDS) units. The CDS units would capture pollutants from stormwater runoff before they enter St Joseph Sound. Description This project involves implementing Best Management Practices to improve water quality before it discharges to St Joseph Sound. The project proposes to install two CDS units on the north and south sides of the outfall pipeline discharging to St Joseph Sound. This project was identified in the City's Master Drainage Plan. The project is located among the earlier developed portion of the City which provided very limited storm system capacity for either treatment or drainage needs. As the area is completely developed, there are no opportunites for stormwater treatment until the proposed pipeline passses two small city park sites within Lime Circle which is where the CDS units will be installed. The Orangewood Outfall will be constructed on Orangewood Drive, from Milwaukee Avenue, on the east, to St. Joseph Sound on the west. Benefits This project will improve water quality within the project area and provide treatment before it reaches St Joseph Sound. Costs The total FY2011 budget amount for this project is $350,000, of which the District's share is requested to be $175,000. The District's share would be funded entirely by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin. The City is contributing $175,000.

Application Fund as a high priority. The project addresses water supply priorities of the basin board by implemeting water conservation. The county has demonstrated its ability to successfully manage these toilet rebate projects and achieve the targeted savings. The project is local in its implementation, but has a regional element in that it reduces the demand on the Tampa Bay Water regional system. The cooperator has confirmed it will include the necessary matching funds in its Formal Proposed Budget in FY2011. There was sufficient data submitted to evaluate the project, it is within the basin board's statutory authority to fund, and it is not the result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. Description This program offers financial incentives to water customers of Pinellas County Utilities for replacing existing, high-volume toilets with ultra-low flow (ULF) models. This eighth phase of the project will target the replacement of approximately 4,000 high volume toilets. Rebates of up to $100 for each low flow toilet installed are being offered to single family, multi-family, and commercial customers who receive their water supply directly from the County or from the county's wholesale water customers, the cities of Clearwater, Pinellas Park, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs and Oldsmar. Requested funding also covers the promotional and administrative costs associated with utilizing a consultant to administer the program. The total promotional costs for the project would be $5,000 and the administrative costs are estimated at $37 per toilet. The county will incorporate into their program all requirements for cooperatively funded toilet replacement projects, including inspection, a survey of customer satisfaction, and reporting of actual water savings. Benefits This project is anticipated to save an estimated 20.5 gpd per toilet or 82,000 gallons of water per day. Costs The total project cost is $553,000, Pinellas County will fund $276,500 and the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board is requested to fund 50% of the project costs or $276,500 in FY2011. The cost amortized at 8 percent over 20 years, is $1.85 per thousand gallons saved. Additional Information In Pinellas County's toilet replacement target area the Draft Regional Water Supply Plan estimates there are more than 100,000 high flow toilets left to be replaced. It should be noted that it is not likely, or expected, that 100 percent of all conventional toilets will be replaced.

Application To fund as a high priority. This project is the twelfth phase of toilet replacement projects with the City of St. Petersburg and is consistent with the basin board priority of reducing water demand through cost effective water conservation. The City has demonstrated their ability to successfully manage toilet rebate projects which ultimately reduce demands from the regional system in a cost-effective manner. There was sufficient data submitted to evaluate the project, it is within the basin board's statutory authority to fund, and it is not a result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. Description The City of St. Petersburg is proposing the continuance of a toilet rebate project offering financial incentives to customers for the replacement of conventional toilets with ultra-low flush (ULF) or high efficiency (HET) toilets which use 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) or less. In 1997, the City initiated Phase I of this program, which has since resulted in the replacement of over 30,000 conventional toilets with more efficient fixtures. Interest in the program and the range of program participants has continued. This project will be the twelfth year of this ongoing effort and is expected to provide rebates for the replacement of approximately 900 high flow toilets. Rebates of $100 will be offered to water customers. Efforts will be made to target new audiences who have not participated, including low income residential households. This project will also educate program participants on methods of indoor water conservation and proper maintenance practices that ensure that low flush toilets remain water conservative fixtures.

P902 Lake Seminole Watershed Stormwater Pollution Reduction Project Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Natural Systems Conservation and Restoration Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County, Pinellas Co. Department of Environmental Mgt. NORTON, NANCY Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application The project is ranked high in the Lake Seminole Watershed Management Plan, September 2001. The funding request addresses inplementation of the phase 2 alum treatment systems on Lake Seminole which will provide water quality and natural system benefits. Description This project is the implementation of six water quality treatment systems to improve the quality of runoff currently entering and leaving Lake Seminole. This project is being implemented as part of the long standing Lake Seminole Restoration Project (P105). In the early 1990's the Basin and Pinellas County entered into an agreement to address restoration of Lake Seminole. Lake Seminole, like many other urbanized lakes, has experienced significant declines in water quality and natural systems. The Basin Board and Pinellas County sought to make improvements to both the lake and the surrounding water resources. One of the first tasks completed was the finalization of a Master Agreement which provided the framework for funding commitments, and project development between the Basin and County. The Master Agreement indicated a target funding commitment of $10 million equally split between the Basin and County. This was an estimated amount deemed sufficient to begin implementation of improvements. The $10 million was not considered to be a limiting amount, but more a commitment of funds to initiate the overall project. In regard to funding, both parties have satisfied the original $10 million commitment. As a note, the Master Agreement indicated that the County could use land acquisition costs up to $2.5 million as part of their match. To date, the County has purchased lands in the amount of $1,920,000. The County's FY2006 funding request was to provide necessary additional funds, to those previously budgeted under the Master Agreement, to implement six water quality treatment projects identified by the District and County. The six water quality treatment projects are located in Lake Seminole sub-basins 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and the Seminole Bypass Canal. Phase I includes design and construction of projects in sub-basins 1, 3, and 6 and design of the Seminole Bypass Canal project. Construction of the Seminole Bypass Canal project, treatment of water pumped from the Seminole Bypass Canal into Lake Seminole, is being funded under SWIM utilizing both State SWIM and EPA Section 319(h) grant funds (see W267). Following successful implementation of Phase I, the County will proceed with permitting final design and construction of Phase II which includes projects in sub-basins 2 and 7. The primary treatment method for all six projects is chemical treatment of stormwater and bypass canal water with aluminum sulfate (alum) to remove pollutants prior to entering the lake. Each phase also includes an effectiveness monitoring element which will extend beyond construction completion. While the conditions of the Master Agreement have been met, the District and County staff continue to meet and develop projects to improve the lake system. More projects are expected in the future. Benefits This project is a major component of the overall Lake Seminole Restoration (P105) as detailed in the Lake Seminole Watershed Management Plan, September 2001. This implementation project provides water quality and natural systems benefits. Costs The estimated project budget totals $6,920,000. The District's share is $3,210,000 and the County's share is $3,710,000 of which $500,000 is a DEP 319(h) grant. The FY2011 project cost is $2,610,290, with the County and the District each contributing half ($1,305,145). It is anticipated that the District's portion would be funded by the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin. District funds shown in the table include staff salaries. Additional Information The District entered into a "Master Agreement" for Lake Seminole with Pinellas County on December 14, 1993 to fund a management plan and restoration alternatives based on the management plan. The District and County in conjunction with the Lake Seminole Technical Advisory Committee completed the "Lake Seminole Watershed Management Plan" (Plan) in September 2001. The Plan details the existing conditions of the Lake Seminole Watershed and the actions required to restore the lake and meet habitat and water quality goals. In September 2007, the County directed the Consultant to prepare final design documents which included a construction cost estimate. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 362
P902 Lake Seminole Watershed Stormwater Pollution Reduction Project This estimated construction cost exceeds the budgeted amount for Phase I. In 2006 both the County and District budgeted additional funding for construction of the project, including Phase II. Phase II is on hold until FDEP reviews operation and performance of Phase I systems before proceeding with permitting of Phase II. Funds budgeted in 2006 may be used to supplement the Phase I construction budget.

Only the Base Bid was awarded May 20, 2008. The Base Bid included construction of an alum system for sub-basin 1 and construction of the linked Long Bayou/Lake Seminole Bypass Canal (W267) alum project. The County anticipates advertising for bids on the remaining sub-basins, 3 and 6 in early 2010. A second amendment to the agreement between the District and County to allow 2006 budgeted project funds to be used to supplement the Phase I construction budget and to adjust construction milestones was executed in August 2008. Construction on sub basin 1 began in May 2008. ACTION TO DATE: Construction on Sub basin 1 is nearly complete and the County will bid sub basins 3 and 6. Once monitoring at sub basin 1 meets permit requirements the County will complete sub basins 2 and 7 as Phase 2 of the project. In December, the County requested FY2011 cooperative funding to complete the project phase 2 construction of sub basin 2 and 7 alum systems. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 363

Application Fund as medium priority. Long-time partner The Pier Aquarium proposes water resources education programming which will support use of two new District-funded water exhibits. This project will educate 280 students and teachers through a teacher workshop, 6 summer camps and an afterschool program. Another estimated 5,000 individuals will take part in an expanded public event with more community partners. The programming will support use of previously funded water exhibits inside the museum and provide for a curriculum to be developed. A strength of the partner is reaching diverse audiences. The medium ranking reflects past tendency to reach fewer numbers than projected. Costs are near average for contact hour ($3.11) and slightly below per person cost averages ($6.22) for comparable youth education projects based on cooperator's projected numbers of participants. Although the future of The Pier is uncertain, cooperator plans to continue education and outreach in alternate location during renovations. The project aligns with Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board's education priorities. Description This Cooperative Initiative (CFI) project's focus for FY2011 is on water conservation, water quality, flood protection and natural water systems. Visitors and school groups receive information through topic-specific components including water-related summer camps, an after-school program, a teacher workshop and a newly expanded Science Festival public event. Each water education component connects students and adults to the principle of how water affects their lives. Each component will be evaluated using an appropriate method, including pre/posttests, visitor/participant surveys, interviews and observations. Benefits The Pier Aquarium provides site-specific programs and interactive exhibits to teach youth and the general public about water quality, water conservation, natural systems and watersheds. Each component of the proposed FY2011 program is designed to make a connection between individual behavior and the quality of our water resources. Conservation and protection of water resources will be reinforced throughout program materials. Through the summer camps and afterschool programming, diverse students will be reached who typically have not been exposed to hands-on environmental field trips, and the experience can foster a personal connection to the natural environment, ultimately leading to understanding and appreciation of water systems. Costs The total proposed cost of the FY2011 project is $132,369, with the District requested to contribute $32,830 (Pinellas-Anclote River). District funds are being requested for bus transportation, teacher stipends, supplies and event sponsorship. The program is projected to reach 5,280 people at a cost to the District of $6.22 per person, which is 45 percent lower than the average youth education project. The budget line below includes costs for staff to manage the project. Additional Information The total cost of the FY2010 project was $300,177, with the District contributing $132,830 (Pinellas-Anclote River). The project incorporated several components, each reaching different numbers of people, with a range of program costs. An anticipated 200,000 people will eventually be exposed annually to the exhibits, which typically have a five-year life span. Upon installation of the exhibits, the District's overall cost per participant decreases to $2.04. The two new exhibits have been phased over two years, with $20,000 funded in FY2009 to design and develop these exhibits. Phase 2 of the exhibits, which was funded in FY2010 ($100,000) was for fabrication and installation. Staff has supported a variety of education efforts at The Pier Aquarium over the years through Basin Initiatives for both Youth Education (P259) and Public Education (P268). At staff's request, in FY2009, the cooperator bundled program components for better coordination, a more consistent message and adequate planning. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 364

N258 Tarpon Springs Reclaimed Water Master Plan Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Reclaimed Water Pinellas-Anclote River Tarpon Springs MUSICARO, MELISSA Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as a medium priority. The project addresses water supply priorities of the basin board by addressing the potential to maximize reclaimed water supplies. The reclaimed water plan will assist the city with the system efficiency and potential for future expansion. The project is within the basin board's statutory authority to fund, and it is not a result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. Description This project consists of the development of a reuse master plan that will analyze the city's irrigation water needs and outline a plan to use existing and future reclaimed water to offset existing and future potable water supplies. Alternatives to be reviewed for implementation include: control valves to divide the transmission system into zones to effectively control number of times per week of reclaimed water usage, additional off-site storage, inclining block rate structure, a dry-season over-use surcharge, and public education programs to promote conservation of the reclaimed water resource. The study will review the most current supply/demand characteristics using the latest system configuration and will also prioritize the next expansion areas based upon the available optimization alternatives. The planned outcome of the study will be a multi-year action plan. In addition, the city will explore alternative uses of reclaimed water in the future, such as use in commercial buildings designed to meet or exceed LEED requirements and areas that are currently using shallow wells. Benefits The project will provide a plan to efficiently and effectively utilize the City's existing and future reclaimed water. There is currently an annual average of 0.59 mgd of reclaimed water discharged to the Anclote River. The plan will address ways it may be used, and also methods for the 1.36 mgd that is currently used in Tarpon Springs, to be more efficient. Costs The total cost of the reuse master plan is estimated to be $100,000 and the District's share is requested to be 50 percent, or $50,000. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin is requested to fund $50,000 in FY2011. The cost benefit cannot be calculated because no measurable benefits directly result from the project. Additional Information The City may be required to discharge a specific amount of water to the Anclote River to maintain minimum flows and levels (MFLs). If the MFL is required, the City may not have adequate supplies to plan future reclaimed water supply projects, and if the MFL is not required, the City will have a total of 0.59 (annual average) to be used for future reclaimed water supply.

For FY2011, PPWMD is requesting cooperative funds for construction costs only. The PPWMD will be financially responsible for design, land acquisition, permitting or bidding costs. Benefits The project will address level of service deficiencies by improving conveyance within the service area. Costs The projected cost for this project is $450,000 of which the Board's share is $225,000 and the PPWMD's share is $$225,000. The probable construction costs are based on a BMP analysis developed by the cooperator. The District funding amount shown in the table includes staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of BMPs, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. This project involves the Implementation of BMPs which includes construction of the BMPs. is included to complete the implementation of the BMP. A cooperative funding expenditure agreement with the PPWMD will be developed for Implemtation of BMPs.

N323 Alternate Water Source Rebate and Conservation Program Project Type Cooperative AORs Water Supply Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Alternative Water Supply Pinellas-Anclote River Pinellas County Utilities ANDRADE, ANTHONY Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as a medium priority. The FY2011 project addresses water supply priorities of the basin by effectively offsetting potable irrigation use. The proposal is the 3rd phase of the County's ongoing shallow well rebate program and is anticipated to provide conservation benefits, however there may be diminishing customer demand for such rebates, as a similar prior District funded project (FY2007 L805) has only issued 43 of the original 500 rebates anticipated. The proposal also leaves a nine month gap (Jan-Sept 2011) without rebates between the completion of the existing project (L805) and the issuance of rebates for the new FY2011 project. Project N323 ranking could be raised to High, if the County addresses the potential diminishing rebate demand (457 un-issued rebates from ongoing FY2007 project with $68,550 in unused District funds) and the rebate schedule (9 month rebate gap) conflict issues. The offsets to potable water will occur in the NTB WUCA. There was adequate information available to evaluate the project and the cooperator has confirmed it has included the necessary matching funds in its Formal Proposed Budget in FY2011. The project is within the District's statutory authority to fund and is not the result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. Description This alternative water supply project is the third phase of a County program that encourages the use of non-potable sources, other than reclaimed water, for non-potable applications, such as lawn irrigation. Non-potable sources might include the surficial aquifer, Floridan Aquifer or surface water. The project will offer rebates up to $300 per installation of up to 200 wells/pumps, and includes the random metering of a statistically representative number of participants. Project participants must be in portions of the County's potable service area that do not have, and will not be receiving, reclaimed water service. Benefits The project will provide approximately 60,000 gpd of well and surface water to offset 30,000 gpd of potable water. Costs The total cost of this project is estimated to be $60,000 and the District's share is fifty percent, or $30,000. The cost amortized at 8 percent over 20 years is $0.55 per thousand (1,000) gallons offset. Additional Information The county estimates the project will result in an average daily savings of approximately 150 gallons of potable water per residence per day. As per the conditions of the existing District funded Phase I and Phase II projects (L772 & L805), the Phase III rebates will also be available to participants who meet the following requirements: (1) are in the county's potable service area, (2) are outside of the county's "Reuse Priority One Zone" and do not have existing or future access to reclaimed water service, (3) agree to ensure the long term operation of their non-potable irrigation source (to avoid switching back to potable water for irrigation), (4) comply with the terms of irrigation variance SWF 05-59 (allows for a variance from the District's 2 day per week restrictions). This program is known as the Alternative Year Round Irrigation and Conservation Plan. This plan (detailed in Variance; Order No. SWF 05-59) includes, but is not limited to, sub-metering a select number of program participants, if required, to evaluate water usage patterns. Program participants must comply with all terms and conditions of the Order, or all program privileges are revoked. Program records are shared between the District and the County. This an ongoing program that will target providing 200 rebates. To date the Phase I and II of the program have provided 1,713 rebates that has offset approximately 341,000 gallons a day of potable water. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 389

UNSER, SALLY Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as a Low priority. The project proposes to reach all Pasco County sixth-grade students with a variety of water resources education activities at the Crystal Springs Preserve. While this program proposes to provide high-quality field experiences for participants, it is ranked low because it is duplicative of the Pasco County School Board's Wetlands Ambassador Program, which reaches all Pasco County seventh-grade students with similar content and has been funded by the District through the basin initiative for youth education (P259) for several years. There are several reasons staff supports funding the Wetlands Ambassador Program. It is implemented through Pasco County School Board, which contributes to its sustainability. While the proposed program is "supported" by the Pasco County School's science coordinator, that support does not include any resources. Another reason is location. One of the Wetlands Ambassador Program's locations for field trips is District-owned Starkey Wilderness Preserve using District-owned Starkey Environmental Education Center, while the Crystal Springs Preserve is privately owned. Staff is also concerned about rising program costs. The amount requested from the District compared to the last proposal has inceased 75% with fewer field trips offered and fewer students reached. Although the program falls within the average range of youth ed programming currently, without school board support, cost increases could continue to be passed along to the District. Description This Cooperative Initiative project proposes to provide all sixth graders in Pasco County educational field experiences that include dip-netting, habitat hikes, water conservation and watershed education, and water quality activities in a lab. Teacher training is provided before the field trip and post-trip activities are provided. The objective is to increase student knowledge of water resources. Students are given pre/post tests to measure knowledge gained. Benefits This program proposes to provide students with in-depth study and hands-on experiences with freshwater wetland ecosystems. Ideally, students leave the program with a better understanding of local watersheds and see the importance of preserving Florida's natural systems. This project is designed to enhance Pasco County School District's sixth-grade science curriculum. Costs The total FY2011 proposed project cost is $128,950, with the District requested to contribute $64,260 (Hillsborough River $16,065; Coastal Rivers $32,130; Pinellas-Anclote River $10,924; Withlacoochee River $5,141). District funding is being requested for site reservation fee, bus transportation for 52 field trips and water quality supplies. The dollar amount allocated per basin is determined by the number of students and teachers projected to participate in the programming from each basin. This program proposes to reach 5,200 students, 100 teachers, and 500 chaperones at a cost to the District of $11.07 per person. Additional Information This project was not submitted for FY2010 funding.the total FY2009 project cost was $75,058, with the District contributing $36,796 (Hillsborough River $9,199;Coastal Rivers $18,398;Pinellas-Anclote River $6,255;Withlacoochee River $2,944). District funding was used for transportation for field trips, teacher training programs and water quality supplies. Each of Pasco's 15 middle schools took part in the program. A total of 50 school district buses were used for schools within a 25-mile radius of Crystal Springs Preserve and 56 charter buses were used for schools outside the 25-mile radius. The student pre-test score average was 65%; the posttest average was 95%. An overall 30% knowledge gain was achieved by participating students.this program reached 5,175 students,100 teachers,and 463 chaperones at a cost to the District of $6.98 per person.this project was piloted on a small scale in FY2008 through Basin Initiative funding for Youth Education (P259) as part of a baseline water resources education program. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 391

Application Fund as a low priority. This project is ranked low because the flood protection involves maintenance and is associated with a local stormwater management system. The District prioritizes flood protection projects that are associated with intermediate and regional systems, and water quality improvements. Description The Myrtle Ave/Seminole St NE Outfall collects stormwater from the area between Eldridge Street and Palmetto Street east of Myrtle Ave. The existing system consists of 1500' of 48" pipe that runs through private property on six or more lots and is in dilapidated condition. The replacement of this system will provide inlets and relocate the system into the City's right-of-way, reduce flooding and provide an opportunity for the District and the City to implement best management practices in this urbanized neighborhood. Benefits The replacement of this system will provide inlets and relocate the system into the City's ROW, reduce flooding and provide an opportunity for the District and the City to implement BMPs in this urbanized neighborhood. Costs The total budget for this proposed FY2011 project is $1,400,000 with funding being equally divided between the City of Clearwater and the District. The District's proposed share ($700,000) of project costs would be funded entirely by the Pinellas Anclote Basin Board. The costs shown below include salaries, travel, and central garage charges. Additional Information The City has an impressive track record of developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation measures. The City has met the requirements of the Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) stipulations included in its Water Use Permit. The 2006 Water Year adjusted gross per capita water consumption for the City was 72.8 gpcd. This is well below the required 130 gpcd for YR 2001 required in the WUCA regulations. The City monitors the amount of "unaccounted for" water representing potable water produced less water consumed and found the percentage for 2006 to be 9.73% of the supplied rate - below the WUCA level of 12%. The City has also implemented a consumptive use rate structure that began in Oct. 2006 to ensure efficient use of reclaimed water. In addition, the City continues to incorporate flood control into its' watershed mgmt. plan which is supported through City ordinances.

HULL, MARY MARGARET Status Recommendation Proposed Coop. Application Fund as low priority. This new project proposed by The Florida Aquarium is to repurpose existing space to feature one classroom showcasing the Tampa Bay watershed. Several educational freshwater tanks and a wall mural will be placed in the classroom as teaching tools for the estimated 3,100 annual classroom visitors. Classroom exhibits would be used with educational programming and a new curriculum guide would be developed. While the exhibits would be an enhancement to the Aquarium's existing classroom space, the benefit to the District is limited. This project's low ranking reflects the high cost and limited use and value of the exhibits. Only those participating in programming, not all aquarium visitors, would see the exhibits. The District's cost per participant contact hour ($4.65) pro-rated over the expected 5-year life of the exhibits is 58% higher than the average of youth education projects. Description This Cooperative Initiative (CFI) project proposes to educate teachers and students about Florida's water resources and natural environment through re-design of existing space into a watershed classroom inside The Florida Aquarium. Currently, there is greater demand for the cooperator's on-site programming than the available classroom space can meet. To increase capacity for conservation education, the cooperator will repurpose existing space to create a suite of dedicated classrooms with environmental themes. One classroom will showcase an element of the Florida water story: the Tampa Bay watershed. The goal of the proposed Watershed Classroom is to create an educational space that enhances study of the watershed. To bring the stages of the watershed to life, the new classroom would feature interactives, exhibits of freshwater and estuary habitats, touch tanks and a mural of the ecosystems that comprise the watershed. The cooperator anticipates that on an annual basis up to 3,000 students from elementary through high school will participate in age-appropriate watershed education programs in the classroom, as well as 100 teachers in professional development workshops.the Florida Aquarium has submitted an RFP for bids to local architecture firms, with a deadline for responses of December 30, 2009. Estimates for the entire education wing budget total $2 million. Success will be measured by completing the classroom according to planned milestones, as well as the results of feedback from program participants. The proposed project includes: (1) A bi-level river tank (including two tanks) spanning the length of one wall. Featuring running water, live animals and plants found in our rivers, a tall tank that is flush with the wall will function as an exhibit. A second lower tank in front will hold water and be accessible for children's hands-on activities. This will create opportunities for programs that illustrate engineering, physics and physical processes. (2) Behind the tanks, an original wall mural will illustrate the different habitats that make up the watershed. (3) Additional classroom components will connect children to their environment, such as a "Where Are You in the Watershed?" interactive. (4) Individual tanks will bring other freshwater and estuary habitats to life, like the bay. Benefits The proposed project aligns well with the District's mission to foster increased environmental stewardship of our freshwater resources. Over the course of five years, these features will directly benefit an estimated 15,500 teachers and students in watershed education programs. While the current educational programming primarily reaches students and teachers throughout Hillsborough County, it also draws schools from Polk, Pinellas, Pasco and Manatee counties. Costs The total proposed cost of the new FY2011 program is $216,000, with the District requested to contribute $108,000 (Alafia River $25,920; Hillsborough River $54,000; Coastal Rivers $5,400; Pinellas-Anclote River $6,480; Withlacoochee River $5,400; Peace River $5,400; Manasota $5,400). The dollar amount allocated per basin is determined by the number of participants projected to participate in the programming from each basin. District funding is requested for 3 tanks used as exhibits, interactive software development and a custom wall mural. The program proposes to reach 3,000 students and 100 teachers during one year and 15,500 pro-rated over 5 years, the typical life span of an exhibit. The cost to the District $6.97 per person is lower than average; however, the cost per contact hour ($4.65) 58% higher than average. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 394

Application Fund as a low priority. This project consists of using pervious concrete to repave neighborhood streets which is the responsibility of the city. This project area is very localized and the water quality benefits that would be received can not be calculated and are unknown. The City currently has a demonstration project with the District (LID Imp Pilot to Improve SW Quality N044) to resurface unpaved alleys to prevent erosion and reduce sediment pollution of receiving waterbodies. That project has not begun construction so the benefits of the project have yet to be seen. Description The project entails the reconstruction of a roadway with pervious concrete and retrofit of a subsurface stone gravel stormwater retention and infiltration system. The purpose of this project is to improve water quality of the existing stormwater runoff that flows to the intercoastal waterway within Clearwater Harbor. The stormwater retrofit may reduce sediment and nutrient pollution through stabilization of the roadway surface and enhanced retention and infiltration of stormwater run-off. The project includes reconstruction and stormwater retrofit of Henrietta Avenue, Jean Street and Josephine Street, located West of Indian Rocks Road and north of Walsingham Road (State Road 686) in Largo, FL. The project will take place within the 1,400 foot right-of-way owned by the City of Largo. The contributing watershed to the project area is approximately 15 acres in size and consists of a developed residential subdivision, which lacks an engineered stormwater management system. The existing roadway surface has low permeability consisting of compacted gravel, crushed shell and asphalt. During storm events, erosion of the unstable roadway surface material and nutrients from surface runoff are washed to the downstream waterways. Benefits This project could improve water quality of stormwater within the contributing watershed which is very localized. The City's pilot project that is being funded by the District has not begun construction so the benefits of this technology have yet to be seen. Costs The total projected FY2011 cost for the project is $500,000, of which the District's total contribution is requested to be $250,000 with an equal match from the County.

Application Fund as a low priority. The County is proposing a project to estimate pollutant loads and yields for selected drainage basins in Pinellas county to prioritize the basins for restoration and determine pollution control measures. The County had a similar project with the District that was completed in 2008 and a final report developed but no restoration projects have been constructed or implemented from the data collected from that project. Also, the County is requesting to use in-kind services as their match however, given recent budget constraints, that is no longer accepted. Description This project consists of estimating pollutant loads (mass/time) and yields (mass/area/time) in impaired waters of Pinellas County. To compute estimates of annual pollutant loads, measurements of pollutant concentration, made by the Pinellas County Department of Environmental Management monitoring program, will be combined with continuous measurements of stream flow at each location of interest. The data will be collected for a period of one year at which time a report summarizing pollutant concentrations and stream flow will be created and provide estimates of the pollutant loads and yields discharged from the drainage basins included in the monitoring program. Benefits The Surface Water Element of the County's Comprehensive Plan obligates the County to protect, enhance and improve water quality through water quality monitoring, development and implementation of watershed management plans and environmental enforcement. This project will provide data to the County for future projects. Costs The total projected cost for the project is $60,000, of which the District's total contribution is requested to be $30,000 in FY2011.

Application Do not fund. There is sufficient data submitted to evaluate the project, it is within the basin board's statutory authority to fund, and it is not a result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. While the District has funded reclaimed water meters to promote volume-based rates rather than flat rates, the funds are requested for a project completed in FY2009 without District involvement, and funds are not required to make the project feasible, in accordance with Board Policy 130-4, Paragraph 6, which states "The Board(s) will consider funding based on the applicant's ability to demonstrate that such funding is necessary to make the project economically feasible." Description During FY2008 Pasco County Utilities installed 5500 reclaimed water meters and associated meter boxes and pipe fittings. The total project cost was $900,000 which was cooperatively funded with the SWFWMD Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River and Hillsborough River Basin Boards. During FY2009 Pasco County Utilities purchased and installed 6581 meters and associated meter boxes and pipe fittings to retrofit the remaining existing unmetered residential reclaimed water customers. Metering residential reclaimed water use and establishing volume-based rates will result in conservation and the County's ability to serve additional customers. Serving additional customers will in turn conserve additional groundwater or surface water supplies, resulting in additional offset. Benefits The amount of reclaimed water savings per customer/meter installed is estimated to be 127 gpd. Costs Because the project is considered a water conservation project, the County is submitting this Cooperative application to seek 50% reimbursement from the Pinellas-Anclote River ($132,673) and Hillsborough River ($453,327) Basin Boards. The total cost for the 6581 meters was $1,172,000. Additional Information The meters for which Pasco County is requesting District funding were purchased and installed during calendar year 2009.

Application The County has submitted a request to have the FY2011 application withdrawn. Description This project includes the removal of invasive, exotic plant species at three (3) sites along the Pinellas Trail. The sites exhibit dense coverage of invasive plants that are listed on the Exotic Pest Plant Council's list of invasive plants. The first sites are located along the Anclote River in north Pinellas County. Exotic plant removal is needed along both sides of a one-mile portion of the paved trail. Pockets of invasive plants are interspersed with mangroves along the edge of the trail where it meets the Anclote River. A monoculture of Brazilian Pepper lines both sides of the trail just south of the Elfers Spur section of trail. The second site is located along Cross Bayou in the southern portion of the County. The Cross Bayou site, containing Brazilian Pepper, Lead Tree, Guinea Grass and other invasive plant species, covers approximately 1 mile and also needs work on both sides of the paved trail. Complete removal of woody vegetation is planned to remove Brazilian Pepper in the mangrove fringe at this site. The first two sites were included in the FY2009 funding. The third site is along Stevenson Creek and exhibits the same dense coverage of nuisance exotic vegetation as the other two sites. A second component of the project is to use a series of environmental education signs to promote public awareness about the problems associated with exotic plants and the importance of implementing controls and eradication programs. The District's Communication Department will review and approve all signage prior to approval and placement. This site is inlcuded in the FY2010 funding. Benefits This project would remove nuisance exotic plants from three sections of the Pinellas Trail. Removal of exotic plants will allow the opportunity to re-establish native vegetation and improve habitat conditions at these sites. The education component of the project will promote public awareness of the problems associated with exotic invasive plant species and the importance of implementing control and eradication programs. Removal of invasive exotic vegetation at both sites will improve local habitat conditions by providing the opportunity to re-establish native vegetation. Costs The total project cost is $200,000 with funding requested to occur over two fiscal years (FY2009 and FY2010) split evenly with Pinellas County ($100,000) and the District's Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board ($100,000). The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board funded $50,000 in FY2009 and $50,000 in FY2010. The amounts shown in the funding table below include District staff time, travel, and central garage charges. Additional Information The Pinellas Trail is a 47-mile long greenway trail corridor that serves a variety of recreational uses as well as providing areas of natural habitat at diverse points along the system. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 404

The contract period was amended in the FY2010 agreement. Part of the woody treatment has begun at two of the FY2009 sites. The FY2010 contract has been executed. Pinellas County is requesting that District Staff reevaluate the FY2011 ranking. District Staff currently has the project ranked low due to the localized treatment area and the lack of progress on the FY2009 and FY2010 phases. District Staff met Pinellas County Staff at the treatment sites to allow them the opportunity to explain why they feel this project deserves a medium ranking and explain how the localized treatment areas could be considered areas of critical concern. The site visit occurred on April 28, 2010. After visiting the site, District Staff felt there was not connection to the treatment site and a water body. Pinellas County Staff agreed and has advised that they will withdraw the FY2011 cooperative funding application. They have been advised to send in a letter to their Community Affairs Program Manager. County Staff sent an email in to request the FY2011 cooperative funding application be withdrawn. The appropriate District Staff has been notified. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 405

AORs Water Quality Natural Systems Flood Protection Basin(s) Cooperator(s) Project Manager Task Manager(s) Strategic Initiatives Water Quality Maintenance and Improvement Minimum Flows and Level Establishment and Monitoring Floodplain Management General Fund (District), Hillsborough River, Coastal Rivers, Pinellas-Anclote River, Withlacoochee River Pasco County, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Pasco County MAYER, RICHARD Status Ongoing Description The District is acting as a Cooperating Technical Partner for FEMA in implementing map modernization in Pasco County. Pasco County covers an area of approximately 763.4 square miles. Issues in the County include flood damage, rapid growth, and water quality concerns. Map modernization includes FEMA scoping activities, obtaining topographic information, new watershed modeling for selected watersheds in the County, preliminary Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) map production, and community (public, private and local government) outreach activities. The topographic information and new watershed models are being completed by performing four elements of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP), 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, and 4.) Parameter and Model Maintenance for watersheds selected by Pasco County for detailed study. The preliminary DFIRM maps will be produced using a combination of digital information from the detailed studies and by conversion of the existing paper Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) to a digital format for the other watersheds in Pasco County. The results from detailed studies for each watershed have to be approved by the District Governing Board before the information is provided to FEMA. FEMA will be assisting Pasco County with adoption of the DFIRMs. Benefits Flood insurance rate maps produced in the early to late 1980's will be replaced by Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMS), and the County will have digital topographic information for the entire County. The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments: 1) With their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service and developing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies. 2) Provides a Geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain management, and water quality management. Costs The original budget for this project was $2,325,000, with FEMA contributing $2,000,000, Pasco County $275,000, and the Hillsborough River Basin $50,000. These funds were used to complete three elements of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP) - Digital Topographic Information, Watershed Evaluation, and Watershed Management Plan, and for partial development of the DFIRMs. The funding table below includes salaries. In order to complete the fourth element of the WMP, Parameter and Model Maintenance, the Hillsborough River, Pinellas-Anclote River, Coastal, Withlachochee River Basin Boards, and the Governing Board, and Pasco County budgeted funds in FY2007- FY2010. A total of $200,000 is budgeted for the current DFIRM production. Additional Information Staff has worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to improve and formalize the District's relationship with a federal agency that shares flood protection responsibilities. FEMA and the District executed a Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Memorandum of Agreement on September 14, 2001. As a CTP the District is eligible for federal grants and matching funds to further efforts to modernize the flood insurance rate maps (FIRM). The District entered into FEMA CTP Agreement EMA-2002-CA-5067 to receive the $2,000,000 grant through the FY2003 CTP Grant Number EMA-2003-GR-5379. Half of the grant is for use in implementing the Pasco County Mapping Activity Statement 2 (MAS). The MAS identifies cost and scheduling for implementation of watershed management programs meeting the FEMA Map Modernization effort for watersheds in Pasco County. The Period of Performance for the CTP Agreement and grant is October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2006. The agreement has been amended to extend the period of performance to May 31, 2010. 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 406

Under these Map Modernization projects the FIRMs will reflect updated flood hazard risk areas and be modernized to a digital product. The updated flood hazard risk areas are being developed by the District through the 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, and 3) Watershed Management Plan elements of the District's Watershed Management Program (WMP). Map Modernization management support (MMMS) funds supplement the ongoing activities already being performed by staff including, but not limited to coordination and effort in building partnerships, information technology systems, program management planning, hydrologic and hydraulic review, and outreach. Benefits The WMP provides a method to evaluate the capacity of a watershed to protect, enhance, and restore water quality and natural systems, while achieving flood protection. The information developed provides the science for the District's Resource Management and Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). It assists local governments: 1) With their land management responsibilities by establishing a level of service and developing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to address level of service deficiencies. 2) Provides a Geodatabase and projected results from watershed model simulations for floodplain management and water quality management. The FIRMs are used by local governments for land management and building permitting to satisfy the minimum requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. Costs The total amount for MMMS is $1,013,240 to be funded by FEMA. The District has received a total of $713,240 in FEMA MMMS to date that has been included in the Governing Board's FY2005, FY2006, and FY2007 budgets as revenue. District Staff anticipate an additional $150,000 to be funded by FEMA for ongoing MMMS activities in both FEMA's FY2008 and FY2009 ($300,000 in total). Each year FEMA notifies the District how much funding is available for MMMS. The District funding amounts shown in the table represents staff salaries. Additional Information The WMP includes five major elements: 1) Topographic Information, 2) Watershed Evaluation, 3) Watershed Management Plan, 4) Implementation of Best Management Practices, and 5) Maintenance of Watershed Parameters and Models. Implementing elements of the WMP with local governments is one of the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) initiative strategies and one of the District's Strategic Priorities. The District is cooperating with FEMA to modernize the FIRMs throughout the District. Staff has worked with the FEMA to improve and formalize the District's relationship with a federal agency that shares flood protection responsibilities. FEMA and the District executed a Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Memorandum of Agreement on September 14, 2001. As a CTP, the District is eligible for federal grants and matching funds to further efforts to modernize the FIRMs. Each year the District enters into a cooperative agreement with FEMA for MMMS funding that defines the activities that will be performed. $250,000 in funding (grant EMA-2004-CA-5038) for FY2005 is being used to provide a meeting facilitator for ongoing coordination meetings between the water management districts, FEMA Region 4, and the Florida Department of Community Affairs; develop a District-wide FIRM paneling scheme; determine the feasibility of expanding the District's role in distributing digital FIRMs to the public; maintaining the digital FIRMs; and revising the FIRMs simultaneously with the ERP application review. For FY2005, a total of $300,000 was actually budgeted in the General Fund with associated revenue. The $50,000 difference between expected funding and actual was rolled into the FY2006 budget. For FY2006 FEMA has granted (EMA-2005-CA-5244) the five water management districts $120,000 in MMMS to hire an outreach facilitator and develop design storm rainfall depth criteria for the entire State. The District will manage the project and contract with consultants on behalf of the other water management districts. In addition, the District received additional MMMS ($144,000) in FY2006 to support outreach efforts, allow the District to develop quality control/quality assurance tools, and support staff travel to meetings and conferences related to this effort. For FY2007, the District has received $129,620 from FEMA (grants EMA-2006-CA-5631 and EMA-2006-CA-5624) for continued travel support, outreach efforts, management assistance, and an XML-based 016 - Pinellas-Anclote River Basin 409

The form awards funds pursuant to the approved Statement of Work. Forms SF424 and FEMA 20-20 have also been executed by the Executive Director and transmitted to FEMA to support these funds. The consultant agreement with URS Corporation Southern was executed on March 1, 2005. All FY2005 funds have been encumbered via an amendment to URS' agreement, which was executed in September 2006. Work Orders #1, #2, and #3 have been executed. Work Order #1 is to incorporate a Hazard Mitigation Component into the District's Business Plan for Map Modernization. Work Order #2 is to develop a District-wide flood insurance rate map (FIRM) paneling scheme to support the District's efforts in modernizing and updating the FIRMs throughout the District. The draft paneling scheme has been prepared and submitted to surrounding water management districts (South Florida, St. Johns River, and Suwannee River). Work Orders #3 & #4 supply a moderator for ongoing coordination meetings among staff from the five water management districts regarding Map Modernization and a Sharepoint site for staff to access minutes and associated documents. Work Order #5 has been executed as of February 23, 2007, to determine the District's ability and resulting issues of reviewing Letters of Map Change (LOMC) simultaneously with ERPs. Two meetings have been held with District staff (MAN, TPA-REG, RPM), FEMA Region 4, and Hillsborough County staff. Work Order #6 directs the consultant team to present how different types of developments are reviewed and permited by the District, FEMA, and local government (Hillsborough County). The URS agreement expired on October 31, 2008. After the grant expired, the remaining project funds were released, and re-encumbered to Agreements with Dewberry and with ESRI for MMMS tasks. To date, $225,000 of the FY2005 funds have been expended. The remaining FY2005 funds will be used to create a conversion tool to convert District GIS data into FEMA Data Capture Standards format. FY2006: FEMA provided $144,000 in FY2006 for MMMS. An additional $120,000 was also provided by FEMA for the five water management districts. These funds were approved to facilitate Map Modernization outreach for all five districts to support the development of statewide isopluvial maps for various design storm events. The District will contract with consultants and manage the projects on behalf of the other four water management districts. A purchase order was issued to UCF for $60,000 to begin resolving design rainfall depth differences between WMDs. UCF has completed the literature review, data collection, data quality assurance, statistical analysis of the rainfall data, and an initial spatial analysis of the data. UCF requested a no-cost time extension to complete the project by December 30, 2007. Final deliverables have been received and approved, and the final invoice has been paid. The District also received FEMA funidng for outreach consulting services to support the Map Modernization effort of all the WMDs ($45,000), and for specific needs of the District ($48,000). These funds were used to retain Bender Consulting to provide outreach planning support to review completed and ongoing outreach efforts associated with each project and provide messages and direction to enhance future outreach. Bender Consulting has completed all tasks and the purchase order has been closed out. A total of $93,000 was expended. $63,000 in FY2006 funds were also provided for the development of quality control and assurance tools. The funds were encumbered through an amendment to JEA's service agreements for the Sarasota County Map Modernization (M115) project. The consultant agreement with Dewberry has been amended to include $20,000 in FY2006 and $15,000 in FY2007 funds for ongoing meeting facilitators services.
