County Science, PLLC Staff recommends the Board authorize submittal of the Preliminary FIRMs for the West Anclote Watershed in Pasco County to FEMA.

9 SWFWMD BOARD MEETING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ~ 2 ~ JULY 24, FARMS G & D Farms, Inc. (H768), Manatee County The District received a proposal from G & D Farms, Inc. for their 425-acre row crop operation located in northeastern Manatee County, within the Southern Water Use Caution Area. This project will involve implementation of a precision irrigation system to offset Upper Floridan aquifer groundwater used for bed preparation, crop establishment, and daily irrigation of 283 acres of row crops. The Water Use Permit (WUP) authorizes an annual average groundwater withdrawal of 574,500 gallons per day (gpd). FARMS project components consist of automation controls for a groundwater pump station and hydraulic field control valves. The proposed project involves water quantity best management practices and qualifies for a 50 percent cost-share reimbursement rate under the FARMS Program. Using an estimated eight percent savings of permitted quantities for daily irrigation, or 44,500 gpd, yields a daily cost of $0.98 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over the proposed seven-year contract term. This value is within the guidelines for the generally accepted average cost savings per thousand gallons for the implementation of precision irrigation for row crop operations. Staff recommends the Board: 1) Approve the G & D Farms, Inc. project for a not-to-exceed project reimbursement of $49,417 provided by the Governing Board. 2) Authorize the transfer of $49,417 from fund 010 H017 Governing Board FARMS Fund to the H768 G & D Farms, Inc. project fund; 3) Authorize the Division Director to sign the agreement. Finance/Outreach & Planning Committee 9. Budget Transfer Report In accordance with Board Policy No , Budget Authority Transfer of Funds, all transfers approved by the Executive Director and Finance Bureau Chief under delegated authority are regularly presented to the Finance/Outreach & Planning Committee for approval on the Consent Agenda at the next scheduled meeting.

10 SWFWMD BOARD MEETING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ~ 3 ~ JULY 24, 2018 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (TAB C) Discussion 14. Consent Item(s) Moved for Discussion 15. Tampa Bay Water Update Tampa Bay Water has continued to fulfill its mission to reliably provide clean, safe water for more than 2.5 million businesses and residents throughout Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties, along with the cities of Tampa, New Port Richey and St. Petersburg. The District and Tampa Bay Water continue to closely coordinate on a number of items including long-term water resource planning, cooperative funding initiative opportunities, shared operational and land use activities, Minimum Flows and Levels, and regulatory items. Tampa Bay Water s General Manager Matt Jordan will provide an overview to the Board on Tampa Bay Water activities and Water Use Permitting Manager Warren Hogg will provide an update on the Consolidated Wellfields environmental recovery. This item is for the Board s information only, and no action is required. 16. Cooperative Funding Initiative Program Project Cost Increases and Scope Changes The District receives more than 100 Cooperative Funding Initiative (CFI) applications each year and enters into contractual agreements for the projects approved by the Governing Board. The projects address District areas of responsibility in Water Supply, Flood Protection, Water Quality and Natural Systems. Common project types include water conservation, reclaimed water, alternative water supplies, watershed plans and models, stormwater retrofits, and habitat restoration, among others. Most of the CFI projects are managed by the local governments; however, some are managed by the District. The Governing Board has established four regional subcommittees to receive input on CFI project applications, review projects and staff rankings, and recommend to the Governing Board the CFI projects to be included in the District s annual budget. At the May 22, 2018 Governing Board meeting the Board expressed interest and additional information regarding staff rankings for projects with cost increases. Additionally, at the June 26, 2018 Governing Board meeting the Board discussed concerns related to CFI projects with scope changes. Staff will provide a brief overview of CFI projects that have experienced cost increases over the past several years, the guidelines used for ranking these projects, and how these guidelines are communicated to applicants. Staff will also discuss the recent history of projects with scope changes, including trends and reasons for these changes. This item is presented for the Committee s information, and no action is required.

11 SWFWMD BOARD MEETING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ~ 4 ~ JULY 24, Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) Program Cost Reimbursement Rates The District s FARMS Program is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practice (BMP) costshare reimbursement program. In 2003 the Board approved the creation of the FARMS Program in the Shell, Prairie, and Joshua Creek (SPJC) watersheds and the Upper Myakka River Watershed (UMRW) to address agricultural runoff affecting downstream waterbodies. Shell and Prairie Creeks were listed as impaired by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for parameters associated with mineralized groundwater used for agricultural irrigation within these watersheds. The City of Punta Gorda s public water supply reservoir is located at the downstream end of the SPJC and is negatively affected by the agricultural runoff. The FARMS Program assists growers to reduce groundwater use and improve water quality within the SPJC, including Punta Gorda s reservoir. Similar issues were identified within the UMRW where excess runoff entering Flatford Swamp adversely affected natural hydroperiods and led to excessive tree mortality. The FARMS Program assists growers to reduce groundwater use and reduce runoff to help restore Flatford Swamp. In establishing the FARMS Program to address these significant resource issues, the Governing Board approved a 75 percent cost share rate for eligible FARMS Program expenses. Due to the initial success of the Program, in 2004 the Board approved the expansion of the FARMS Program to include the entire Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) to assist in meeting the goals of the SWUCA Recovery Strategy. A cost reimbursement rate of up to 50 percent for projects that reduce groundwater use or improve water quality conditions impacted by groundwater pumping was approved. In addition, projects that accomplished both objectives received a cost reimbursement rate of up to 75 percent. Projects that are projected to reduce groundwater use by over 50 percent were also approved for 75 percent reimbursement of eligible costs. In 2010 the Board approved a rule revision to use the FARMS Program to help address resource concerns documented in the Dover/Plant City Water Use Caution Area (DPCWUCA) Recovery Strategy. A cost reimbursement rate of up to 75 percent was approved to reduce cold protection groundwater use to prevent sinkholes and dry wells. In 2015 the Board approved a rule revision to include a cost reimbursement rate up to 75 percent for the Most Impacted Area (MIA) of the SWUCA. FARMS works with growers in the MIA to implement BMPs that reduce groundwater use to slow the rate of saltwater intrusion. Cost share reimbursement rates have historically been used by the Governing Board to prioritize and address specific water resource issues within identified priority areas. District funding through the FARMS Program is restricted to eligible costs which only includes tangible items and components such as pumps and pipelines. Resource benefits of the FARMS Program include reduced Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals, water quality improvements and/or conservation, restoration and augmentation of water resources. The FARMS Program has been very successful to date with 200 Board-approved projects. The projected offset for these water conservation projects is 28 million gallons per day (mgd). The total investment of funds through the FARMS Program is $69.6 million with $39.9 million funded by the District, FDACS and state appropriation and $29.7 million funded by the individual growers. On average, the FARMS Program provides 57% of project funds and the grower contributes 43% of project funds. The average cost per 1,000 gallons saved is $2.26, which is well below the cost of other alternative water supply projects, as well as most conservation projects. This item is for the Board s information and no action is required.

23 Item 7 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Consent Agenda Authorize Submission of Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the West Anclote Watershed in Pasco County to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (L738) Purpose Request the Board s authorization to submit the preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for the West Anclote watershed in Pasco County to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The detailed watershed management model for the West Anclote watershed is the basis for updating the FIRMs. The watershed model and floodplain information have gone through the District s process that includes internal review and external peer review by experienced licensed professional engineers. Floodplain analysis information for the watershed was presented for review and comment during public workshops held on August 7 th and 11 th, Pasco County will coordinate with FEMA to produce the preliminary FIRMs at a future date. This coordination may include additional public meetings to present the preliminary floodplain information, provide an opportunity for additional comments, and incorporate this information into FEMA s mapping specifications. Background/History The District has partnered with FEMA and local governments to modernize FIRMs as part of its Watershed Management Program (WMP). Flood protection and floodplain information have been a priority at the District since the inception of the organization. To improve the floodplain information, develop regional scale flood routing models for alternative analysis, and improve local government s understanding of their flood protection level of service, the District has been reaching out to local governments and implementing the WMP for the past two decades. Since November 2008, the Governing Board has authorized staff to submit preliminary FIRMs to FEMA for nineteen watersheds in Hernando County, seven watersheds in Pasco County, seven watersheds in Citrus County, four watersheds in Manatee County, six watersheds in Sarasota County, four watersheds in Polk County, two watersheds in DeSoto County, five watersheds in Hardee County, three watersheds in Highlands County, one watershed in Pinellas County, two watersheds in Sumter County, twelve watersheds in Marion County and three watersheds in Hillsborough County. The updated floodplain information for the West Anclote watershed in Pasco County was prepared by a District hired consultant (Engineering Firm of Record), reviewed by District and County staff, and then reviewed by the District s independent peer review consultant (see table below). The watershed models and floodplain data were built using 2011/2007 topography and land use information. For the public workshops held on August 7 th and 11 th, 2017, affected property owners were notified of the workshop by print advertisement and media release with a total of 352 people in attendance. The watershed models and preliminary floodplain data reasonably reflect the verification storm event and represent best floodplain information available for the watershed.

25 Item 8 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Consent Agenda FARMS G & D Farms, Inc. (H768), Manatee County Purpose To request approval for a Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) project with G & D Farms, Inc. and approval to reimburse FARMS eligible costs up to a not-toexceed limit of $49,417 (50 percent of total project costs). Of this amount, $49,417 is requested from the Governing Board FARMS Fund. Total project costs are estimated at $98,834. Project Proposal The District received a proposal from G & D Farms, Inc. for their 425-acre row crop operation located in northeastern Manatee County, within the Southern Water Use Caution Area. This project will involve implementation of a precision irrigation system to offset Upper Floridan aquifer groundwater used for bed preparation, crop establishment, and daily irrigation of 283 acres of row crops. The Water Use Permit (WUP) authorizes an annual average groundwater withdrawal of 574,500 gallons per day (gpd). FARMS project components consist of automation controls for a groundwater pump station and hydraulic field control valves. Benefits/Costs The proposed project involves water quantity best management practices and qualifies for a 50 percent cost-share reimbursement rate under the FARMS Program. Using an estimated eight percent savings of permitted quantities for daily irrigation, or 44,500 gpd, yields a daily cost of $0.98 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over the proposed seven-year contract term. This value is within the guidelines for the generally accepted average cost savings per thousand gallons for the implementation of precision irrigation for row crop operations. Reimbursement will be from the Governing Board FARMS Fund. Upon approval, the Governing Board will have $3,604,444 remaining in the FARMS Program budget. Staff Recommendation: 1) Approve the G & D Farms, Inc. project for a not-to-exceed project reimbursement of $49,417 provided by the Governing Board. 2) Authorize the transfer of $49,417 from fund 010 H017 Governing Board FARMS Fund to the H768 G & D Farms, Inc. project fund; 3) Authorize the Division Director to sign the agreement.

Board Member Schleicher proposed a fourth option that would allow for the creation of a committee, with select board members, to be involved in the recruitment process. Board Member Williamson asked if that would require the recruitment process to be presented in the Sunshine. Ms. Karen West responded in the affirmative. Board Member Williamson commented that this may make some applicants uncomfortable. Packet Pg. 21

39 Minutes of the Meeting June 26, 2018 SWFWMD Governing Board Page 10 of 10 Board Member Senft asked that the job description also include the appropriate documenting of reports done by this position. Mr. Armstrong responded there are two policies that dictate how, when and to whom reports are to be provided. He stated that he and Ms. West will be providing suggestions to the current policies to assist in clarification. Board Member Williamson asked that there be a presentation to the Board once these policies are finalized. Board Member Smith stated that consideration should be given to the development of a committee that will allow the future IG to present information prior to presenting to the full Board. Chair Adams asked Ms. West to provide some historical and legal background regarding this suggestion from Board Member Smith. A motion was made to allow the executive director and staff to begin the IG recruitment process and selection. The final candidate will be presented to the Board for final approval.

43 Item 15 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Discussion Item Tampa Bay Water Update Purpose To provide the Board with an overview of Tampa Bay Water s regional water supply activities, including water supply facilities, regional projects, planning and vision for the future. Background/History Tampa Bay Water has continued to fulfill its mission to reliably provide clean, safe water for more than 2.5 million businesses and residents throughout Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties, along with the cities of Tampa, New Port Richey and St. Petersburg. The District and Tampa Bay Water continue to closely coordinate on a number of items including long-term water resource planning, cooperative funding initiative opportunities, shared operational and land use activities, Minimum Flows and Levels, and regulatory items. Tampa Bay Water s General Manager Matt Jordan will provide an overview to the Board on Tampa Bay Water activities and Water Use Permitting Manager Warren Hogg will provide an update on the Consolidated Wellfields environmental recovery. Staff Recommendation: This item is presented for the Board's information; no action is required. Presenter: Matt Jordan, General Manager, Tampa Bay Water Packet Pg. 24

44 Item 16 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Discussion Item Cooperative Funding Initiative Program Project Cost Increases and Scope Changes Purpose The purpose of this item is to review project cost increase guidelines and provide an overview on how scope changes are reviewed and presented to the Governing Board for the District s Cooperative Funding Initiative (CFI) program. Background/History The District receives more than 100 CFI applications each year and enters into contractual agreements for the projects approved by the Governing Board. The projects address District areas of responsibility in Water Supply, Flood Protection, Water Quality and Natural Systems. Common project types include water conservation, reclaimed water, alternative water supplies, watershed plans and models, stormwater retrofits, and habitat restoration, among others. Most of the CFI projects are managed by the local governments; however, some are managed by the District. The Governing Board has established four regional subcommittees to receive input on CFI project applications, review projects and staff rankings, and recommend to the Governing Board the CFI projects to be included in the District s annual budget. At the May 22, 2018 Governing Board meeting the Board expressed interest and additional information regarding staff rankings for projects with cost increases. Additionally, at the June 26, 2018 Governing Board meeting the Board discussed concerns related to CFI projects with scope changes. Staff will provide a brief overview of CFI projects that have experienced cost increases over the past several years, the guidelines used for ranking these projects, and how these guidelines are communicated to applicants. Staff will also discuss the recent history of projects with scope changes, including trends and reasons for these changes. Staff Recommendation: This item is presented for the Committee s information, and no action is required. Presenter: Eric DeHaven, Assistant Director, Resource Management Division Packet Pg. 25

45 Item 17 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Discussion Item Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) Program Cost Reimbursement Rates Purpose To provide the Governing Board an overview of the Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) Program and associated cost reimbursement rates. Background/History The District s FARMS Program is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practice (BMP) cost-share reimbursement program. In 2003 the Board approved the creation of the FARMS Program in the Shell, Prairie, and Joshua Creek (SPJC) watersheds and the Upper Myakka River Watershed (UMRW) to address agricultural runoff affecting downstream waterbodies. Shell and Prairie Creeks were listed as impaired by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for parameters associated with mineralized groundwater used for agricultural irrigation within these watersheds. The City of Punta Gorda s public water supply reservoir is located at the downstream end of the SPJC and is negatively affected by the agricultural runoff. The FARMS Program assists growers to reduce groundwater use and improve water quality within the SPJC, including Punta Gorda s reservoir. Similar issues were identified within the UMRW where excess runoff entering Flatford Swamp adversely affected natural hydroperiods and led to excessive tree mortality. The FARMS Program assists growers to reduce groundwater use and reduce runoff to help restore Flatford Swamp. In establishing the FARMS Program to address these significant resource issues, the Governing Board approved a 75 percent cost share rate for eligible FARMS Program expenses. Due to the initial success of the Program, in 2004 the Board approved the expansion of the FARMS Program to include the entire Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) to assist in meeting the goals of the SWUCA Recovery Strategy. A cost reimbursement rate of up to 50 percent for projects that reduce groundwater use or improve water quality conditions impacted by groundwater pumping was approved. In addition, projects that accomplished both objectives received a cost reimbursement rate of up to 75 percent. Projects that are projected to reduce groundwater use by over 50 percent were also approved for 75 percent reimbursement of eligible costs. In 2010 the Board approved a rule revision to use the FARMS Program to help address resource concerns documented in the Dover/Plant City Water Use Caution Area (DPCWUCA) Recovery Strategy. A cost reimbursement rate of up to 75 percent was approved to reduce cold protection groundwater use to prevent sinkholes and dry wells. In 2015 the Board approved a rule revision to include a cost reimbursement rate up to 75 percent for the Most Impacted Area (MIA) of the SWUCA. FARMS works with growers in the MIA to implement BMPs that reduce groundwater use to slow the rate of saltwater intrusion. Cost share reimbursement rates have historically been used by the Governing Board to prioritize and address specific water resource issues within identified priority areas. District funding through the FARMS Program is restricted to eligible costs which only includes tangible items and components such as pumps and pipelines. Packet Pg. 26

46 Item 17 Benefits/Costs Resource benefits of the FARMS Program include reduced Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals, water quality improvements and/or conservation, restoration and augmentation of water resources. The FARMS Program has been very successful to date with 200 Board-approved projects. The projected offset for these water conservation projects is 28 million gallons per day (mgd). The total investment of funds through the FARMS Program is $69.6 million with $39.9 million funded by the District, FDACS and state appropriation and $29.7 million funded by the individual growers. On average, the FARMS Program provides 57% of project funds and the grower contributes 43% of project funds. The average cost per 1,000 gallons saved is $2.26, which is well below the cost of other alternative water supply projects, as well as most conservation projects. Staff Recommendation: This item is for the Board s information and no action is required. Presenter: Chris Zajac, FARMS Manager, Natural Systems and Restoration Packet Pg. 27

47 Item 18 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Submit and File Report Lower Hillsborough River Recovery Strategy Implementation Annual Update Purpose To provide an annual update to the Governing Board regarding the implementation of projects outlined in the recovery strategy that are needed to meet adopted minimum flows for the Lower Hillsborough River (LHR). Background/History As required by statute, if the actual flow of a water course is below the adopted minimum flow or is projected to fall below the minimum flow over the next 20 years, a recovery strategy is developed as part of the minimum flows establishment process. In the case of the LHR, a recovery strategy was needed. At its August 2007 meeting, the Governing Board approved rule amendments that incorporated a recovery strategy for the LHR into Rule 40D , Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and these amendments became effective on November 25, The Board also authorized a Joint Funding Agreement with the City of Tampa for implementation of recovery projects that was finalized in October 2007 and incorporated into the recovery strategy rule. The LHR recovery strategy outlines six potential projects and a timeline for their implementation. Four projects are identified for joint-funding by the District and the City and two are to be implemented by the District. Implementation of specific projects is subject to applicable diagnostic/feasibility studies and contingent on obtaining any required permits. As outlined in the recovery strategy, projects to be jointly funded by the District and the City include: 1) Sulphur Springs Project (Lower Weir Modifications and Sulphur Springs Pool Upper Weir and Pump Station Modifications); 2) Blue Sink Analysis and Project; 3) Transmission Pipeline Evaluation and Project; and the 4) Investigation of Storage or Additional Supply Options. In addition, the District was/is required to initiate and/or implement two projects: 5) Tampa Bypass Canal (TBC) and Hillsborough River Reservoir Diversions; and the 6) Morris Bridge Sink Project. The recovery strategy specifies District initiation of the TBC and Hillsborough River Reservoir diversions project and continued operation of pumping facilities on the TBC lower pool for moving water to the TBC middle pool, with the City eventually assuming operation of pumping facilities on the TBC middle pool for diversion of water to the reservoir, and at the Hillsborough River Dam for transfer of water to the lower river. District initiation and implementation of the Morris Bridge Sink project, to include operation of pumping facilities for diversion of water from the sink to the TBC and through the reservoir to the LHR is also specified, with the City eventually assuming responsibility for diversion of the water from the TBC through the reservoir to the LHR. Ultimately, the strategy requires the City to meet the established minimum flows for Packet Pg. 28

48 Item 18 the LHR by October 1, The recovery strategy also requires that in 2013, and for each five-year period through 2023, the District shall evaluate the strategy regarding its effects on the hydrology, dissolved oxygen, salinity, temperature, ph, and biological characteristics of the LHR that have been achieved from minimum flows implementation. The recovery strategy also requires annual reporting to the Governing Board on progress in the implementation of the strategy. Discussion Progress on the six projects specified in the LHR recovery strategy can be sequentially summarized as follows. 1) Sulphur Springs Project - Lower Weir Modifications - Prior to establishment of the current, recovery strategy for the LHR in November 2007, the City began, in 2002, supplying 10 cubic feet per second (cfs) of flow from Sulphur Springs to the base of the Hillsborough River Dam when required to meet the then current minimum flows for the LHR. This recovery effort continued, and in October 2008, the City and District entered into a cooperative agreement to perform modifications to the lower weir on Sulphur Springs Run. This Lower Weir project, which was completed in October 2011, involved installation of an operable weir at the mouth of the spring run to: prevent incursions of higher-salinity water from the river during low-flow periods; allow for access to the run by manatees and other organisms during higher-flow periods when incursions of saline water were less of a concern; and enhance management flexibility for the City regarding use of spring water to meet minimum flow requirements for the LHR and Sulphur Springs Run. Data collection in the spring run has confirmed that the project effectively reduces salinity incursions from the river; and increases flexibility for using Sulphur Springs to provide minimum flows to the spring run and the LHR. Sulphur Springs Pool Upper Weir and Pump Station Modifications - In November 2008 the City and District entered into a joint funding agreement to design and construct improvements to the upper weir and pump station at Sulphur Springs Pool. The project, which was completed in March 2012, involved: modification of the pump station at Sulphur Springs to increase reliability of and efficiently provide for variable pumping rates; replacement or modification of the Sulphur Springs upper weir and gates that control flow between Sulphur Springs Pool and Sulphur Springs Run; installation of provisions to control Sulphur Springs Pool pumping rates based on the temperature and salinity of adjacent monitoring stations; and modification and/or replacement of the Sulphur Springs pump station intake to allow for the range of anticipated water levels in Sulphur Springs Pool. The modified Sulphur Springs facilities are currently operational and have proven to be effective for providing variable rates of flow to both the spring run and the LHR. Since spring 2012, the City has been able to route as much as 23 cfs to the base of the Hillsborough River Dam to provide minimum flows to the LHR while preventing salinity incursions into the spring run. The diversion of increased flows from Sulphur Springs to the base of the dam has been associated with reduced current velocities and the growth of filamentous algae in the spring run. In May 2016, the District initiated a project (H400) to assess the roles of current velocity, flows, water quality, and other factors on filamentous algae in Sulphur Springs Run Packet Pg. 29

49 Item 18 and develop recommendations for managing algae within the spring run. As summarized in December 2016 project reports (Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. 2016a, 2016b), limited availability of algal biomass and cover data hinder development of conclusions concerning relationships between algal abundance in the spring run and flow, water quality or other factors. Final phases of the project, including pilot algae-removal events and development of algal-management recommendations have been delayed due the need for development of a site-access agreement between the City and District. The project agreement has been amended to address this delay and project completion is expected by August ) Blue Sink Analysis and Project - In October 2008 the City and District entered into a joint funding agreement to conduct a cost/benefit analysis for use of water from Blue Sink to assist the City in meeting minimum flows for the LHR. In March-April 2009 the District completed a pump test which indicated that a sustainable yield of 2 million gallons per day (mgd), equivalent to 3.1 cfs, could be pumped from Blue Sink to help supply minimum flows to the LHR. In October 2009, the City completed a feasibility analysis for use of Blue Sink that recommended construction of a pump station and pipeline for transferring 2 mgd of water from the sink to the LHR. Based on these findings, the City and the District entered into a cooperative funding agreement in October 2010 to fund the Blue Sink Project. The agreement addressed construction of a pump station at Blue Sink and a pipeline for transfer of water pumped from the sink to the existing pipeline used to transfer water from Sulphur Springs to the LHR, with project construction to be completed in October The Governing Board (SWFWMD 2011) approved a variance to the recovery strategy rule in June 2011 to extend the deadline for the Blue Sink project from October 1, 2011 to October 31, In September 2012, the cooperative funding agreement was amended to also include a completion date of October 31, 2013 and an expiration date of April 30, In December 2013, the District issued a water use permit (No ) to the City that allows a peak daily pumpage rate of 2 mgd from Blue Sink for recovery of minimum flows in the LHR. Because the City also needed to obtain applicable permits for construction of project elements, which were to run along various municipal right-of-ways, the City requested that the completion date for the project be changed to December 31, Accordingly, a new cooperative agreement with the City with an expiration date of October 1, 2017 was developed in July 2014 to allow for the revised timeline. The agreement was subsequently amended in February 2016 to include a construction completion date of January 14, The City completed pipeline and pump station design for the Blue Sink Project, issued plans and specifications for the two project elements in March 2015, executed an agreement for construction management and a well mitigation program for the project in June 2015, and issued notices to proceed with pump station and pipeline construction in July and August 2015, respectively. Construction and construction restoration for the Blue Sink pipeline were completed in April and May Pump station testing initiated in March 2017 identified an issue with water intake equipment at the sink and subsequent evaluations identified a leak in the transmission line used for delivery of pumped water to the LHR. Following corrective work and additional testing by the City, project construction was completed in September In November 2017 the City began operation of the Blue Sink pumping facility. Packet Pg. 30

50 Item 18 3) Transmission Pipeline Evaluation and Project - As part of the LHR recovery strategy, the construction of a pipeline from the TBC middle pool at District Structure S-161 to the base of the Hillsborough River Dam was considered to address potential water savings associated with use of a pipeline versus use of the reservoir for conveyance of water to be used for augmenting LHR flows. A peer review of this project was conducted and submitted to the District and City in September 2008 (Davis et al. 2008). The peer review panel concluded the only water loss to the system is through evaporation of the increased volume of water pumped for augmentation and that this loss is minor. The panel also noted the projected water saving by transporting the augmentation water in a pipeline rather than through the reservoir is relatively small. Staff from both the District and City concurred with the findings of the peer review panel, and based on the review, the Transmission Pipeline project is no longer considered a viable project for recovery of the LHR (SWFWMD 2008). 4) Investigation of Storage or Additional Supply Options - Consistent with the recovery strategy, the City and the District entered into a joint funding agreement in July 2010 to investigate other storage and supply options to meet recovery plan objectives for the LHR. The first components of the project, which involved review of the status of other recovery projects and identification of the need for additional storage or supply projects to meet the LHR minimum flow requirements, were completed in April 2011 and indicate that the identified sources of water in the recovery strategy may be sufficient for achieving minimum flow requirements in the LHR. To allow for any further assessments that may be needed pending the success of other elements of the recovery strategy that have yet to be implemented, the agreement expiration date has been extended to October 31, Pending completion and success of those projects, the District and the City will continue to assess if any additional water is needed for minimum flows recovery in the LHR. 5) Tampa Bypass Canal and Hillsborough Reservoir Diversions - To implement minimum flows in the LHR as soon as practical, the current recovery strategy required the District, by January 1, 2008, to divert up to 7.1 mgd (equivalent to 11 cfs) of water from the middle pool of the TBC to the Hillsborough River Reservoir at the District s S-161 structure and then deliver seventy-five percent of this water to the LHR at the base of the Hillsborough River Dam. Using temporary pumping facilities, water has been supplied from the TBC to the LHR as needed since December 31, A consumptive water use permit (Permit No ) for these diversions was issued to the District by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on December 17, The District submitted the first required annual report associated with the permit (SWFWMD 2017c) to the DEP in March 2017, and the second annual report was submitted to the DEP in March By October 1, 2013, the City was to assume operation of pumping facilities used to divert water from the TBC middle pool to the reservoir and from the reservoir to the LHR. To address this recovery strategy requirement, the City submitted a Cooperative Funding Initiative (CFI) application for fiscal year 2013 to the District to fund the construction of permanent pumping facilities for these diversions. The District ranked this CFI application as high, contingent upon the City performing an assessment of whether existing pumps on the TBC operated by Tampa Bay Water that are used to augment potable water supplies in the reservoir can also be used to convey water from the TBC to the reservoir for delivery to the LHR. The City completed this assessment in April 2013 and concluded that a new pump was necessary at the S-161 structure if water for both minimum flows and potable supply were to be reliably delivered at rates specified in the water use permit for reservoir Packet Pg. 31

51 Item 18 augmentation and in the LHR minimum flows rule. In February 2014, the Governing Board accepted this finding and authorized execution of a cooperative funding agreement with the City to construct facilities at the S-161 structure on the middle pool of the TBC and at the dam to divert minimum flows to the LHR. In support of a draft agreement for construction of the planned pumping facilities, the City completed a draft basis of design report for the replacement of the District s temporary pumping station at the S-161 structure and replacement of the District s temporary pumping facility at the Hillsborough River Dam with a siphon system (District Project N492). The District accepted the City s final basis of design report in August In January 2016, the City requested transfer of ownership of District pumping facilities at the S-161 structure and the dam to the City and requested continuance of the CFI request submitted for funding the construction of permanent pumping facilities at the two sites. In January 2017, the City requested a scope change to the original CFI project application for Project N492. The replacement of the pump station at the S-161 structure was eliminated from the original project because the City determined that using the District s temporary pump station would be the preferred alternative, as it would provide additional time to evaluate whether a new pump station will be necessary in the future. In addition, the planned siphon system at the dam was replaced by the planned construction of a new, lowflow control gate at the dam. Installation of the new control gate was determined to be more cost effective and provide greater flexibility in meeting minimum flow requirements. The Governing Board (SWFWMD 2017b) approved changes in the scope for Project N492 in July 2017 that eliminated the planned, new pump station at the S-161 structure and the planned siphon structure at the Hillsborough River Dam. The Board also approved a request to enter into an agreement with the City to convey the District s temporary pump station at the S-161 structure and an easement to the City for the City s operation, maintenance and management of the pump station and approved entering into an agreement for the City s operation, maintenance and management of the temporary District pump station at the Hillsborough River Dam (SWFWMD 2017a). Transfer of the District pumping facilities at the S-161 structure to the City and transfer of pump station operations at the dam occurred in late November Transfer of the consumptive use permit issued to the District by the DEP for diversion of water from the TBC to the reservoir or issuance of a District water use permit to the City for the pumping activity is currently under discussion. An agreement between the City and District for the Lower Hillsborough River Dam Control Gate Facilities (Project N492) was finalized in October A notice to proceed with construction of the proposed gate facilities was issued by the City in November Project completion is expected on or before June 28, Moving forward with implementation of this component of the LHR recovery strategy, necessary diversions from the TBC middle pool to the reservoir for delivery to the LHR for minimum flow needs will be conducted by the City. In accordance with the recovery strategy, however, the District will continue to own and operate the facilities necessary for transfer of water from the lower to the middle pool of the TBC at the S-162 structure. 6) Morris Bridge Sink Project - The LHR recovery strategy specifies that by October 1, 2012, or earlier, and upon completion of the project, provided that any permit that may be required is approved, the District will divert up to 3.9 mgd of water on any given day from Morris Bridge Packet Pg. 32

52 Item 18 Sink to the TBC middle pool for transfer to the reservoir to achieve minimum flows in the LHR. In April 2009, staff conducted a 30-day pump test of the sink to determine the potential of the sink to deliver 3.9 mgd (equivalent to 6 cfs) of flow to the TBC on a sustainable basis. The pump test indicated that the sink can hydraulically provide up to 4.0 mgd. The District subsequently completed analyses to support a permit application for withdrawals from the sink, including calculation of the monthly quantities that will be needed from the sink for LHR recovery, modeling of drawdowns in the Upper Floridan and surficial aquifers associated with the withdrawals, and potential wetland impacts that could result from sink withdrawals. In May 2015, the Governing Board authorized (SWFWMD 2015a) staff to initiate and complete rulemaking to repeal the reservation rule concerning use of water from Morris Bridge Sink for recovery of minimum flows in the LHR. Completion of this rulemaking is anticipated upon completion of the Morris Bridge Sink Project, i.e., when the pumping facilities necessary for the planned diversions from the sink to the TBC are permitted, constructed, and operational. A water use application for the planned withdrawals from Morris Bridge Sink for LHR recovery was submitted to the DEP in August 2015, following a pre-application meeting held in March 2015, during which DEP asked the District to delay submission of the water use permit application while they clarified their protocol for reviewing the permit and following a second pre-application meeting in June The DEP held a public meeting in November 2015 concerning the water use permit application for withdrawals from the sink, and in December 2015 released a notice of intent to issue a permit to the District for the withdrawals. District staff subsequently met with Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission staff, representatives of the Friends of the River, and other stakeholders in January 2016 to clarify conditions included in the water use permit. The District also committed to provide several assurances in support of the Morris Bridge Sink Project in a letter sent to the Friends of the River in January 2016 (Beltran 2016). On January 15, 2016, the DEP issued consumptive water use permit no to the District for withdrawals from Morris Bridge Sink. Required reporting for the consumptive water use permit is on-schedule. In February 2016, the District initiated development of a scope of work for consultant services addressing permit reporting conditions for the proposed withdrawals from Morris Bridge Sink. The first permit-required annual report (ADA Engineering and Earth Resources Consulting Scientists 2017), which characterized pre-withdrawal conditions at and near the sink, was subsequently submitted to DEP in March The second required annual report (ADA Engineering and Earth Resources Consulting Scientists 2018) was submitted to DEP in March This report continued to document pre-withdrawal conditions at and near the sink. An additional permit-required report, which summarizes the status of the LHR recovery strategy, was submitted to the DEP in December In February 2016, the District initiated a project for consultant services addressing design of a pump station at Morris Bridge Sink for diversion of water from the sink to the upper pool of the TBC, a pipeline, and a second pump station at the District s S-159 structure for diversion of water from the upper to the middle pool of the TBC. Project design and permitting have Packet Pg. 33

53 Item 18 been completed; project bidding and construction documents are under development. Completion of future project activities is contingent upon ongoing discussions between the District and the City concerning the potential impact of the City s proposed Tampa Augmentation Project (discussed further in the following portion of this report) on the need for the proposed Morris Bridge Sink Project facilities. The projects described in this annual report are intended to provide a sufficient flow of fresh and low-salinity water below the Hillsborough River Dam to restore low-salinity habitat within the LHR. On average, water does not flow over the dam for 161 days each year (range: 12 to 317 days, based on days from 1995 through 2017 when flows were less than 3 cfs; see Figure 1). Without this flow, salinity below the dam is relatively high and no low salinity habitat exists for much of the year. Implementation of recovery strategy projects has helped mitigate this condition and address minimum flow requirements for the LHR. Figure 1. Number of days of no-flow (flows < 3 cfs) at the U.S. Geological Survey Hillsborough River near Tampa, FL gage at the Hillsborough River Dam from 1995 through As summarized in the first five-year recovery strategy assessment report provided to the Governing Board in March 2015 (SWFWMD 2015b, SWFWMD and Atkins, North America 2015), improvements in water quality and ecological conditions in the river below the dam have resulted from implementation of the minimum flows. For example, salinities in the LHR near the dam in the vicinity of Rowlett Park were relatively high in 2000, when no water was supplied to the base of the dam for minimum flow purposes (Figure 2). Lower salinities were observed in subsequent years (Figure 2) as a consequence of rainfall conditions and the diversion of increasing quantities of water to the base of the dam for minimum flows implementation. Completion of a hydrodynamic modeling project (Janicki Environmental, Inc. 2015) recommended in the first five-year recovery assessment report, has provided additional quantification of salinity responses in the LHR that have occurred as recovery strategy projects have become operational.

54 Item 18 Figure 2. Near surface maximum daily salinity at the U.S. Geological Survey Rowlett Park Drive near Tampa, FL gage on the Lower Hillsborough for six selected years: year 2000, no minimum flows implemented; year 2007, up to 14 cfs minimum flow supplied from Sulphur Spring; year 2008, up to 15 cfs from Sulphur Springs and 8.3 cfs from the Tampa Bypass Canal for combined minimum flows up to 23 cfs; year 2012, up to 18 cfs Sulphur Springs flow with up to 8.3 cfs flow from the Tampa Bypass Canal for combined minimum flows up to 26 cfs; year 2016, up to 18 cfs Sulphur Springs flow with up to 7 cfs flow from the Tampa Bypass Canal for combined minimum flows up to 25 cfs; year 2017, up to 23 cfs Sulphur Springs flow, 8.3 cfs flow from the Tampa Bypass Canal, for combined flows up to 27 cfs.. Through December 30, 2007, up to 14 cfs of low-salinity water from Sulphur Springs was routed to the base of the dam to meet the then existing minimum flows that were established for the LHR in 2000 (Figure 3). Beginning on December 31, 2007, 11 cfs of low-salinity water from the TBC was routed to the Hillsborough River Reservoir and 8.3 cfs was pumped over the dam to supplement diversions from Sulphur Springs to help meet revised minimum flows that were established for the river in late Starting in the spring of 2012, additional quantities of water were diverted from Sulphur Springs following completion of weir and pump station modifications at the spring, with the total quantity of minimum flow at the dam sometimes reaching 27 cfs (Figure 3). The completion of the Blue Sink Project in late-2017 has permitted diversion of water from the sink to implement LHR minimum flows, although these quantities will be reported in future recovery status assessments. Packet Pg. 35

55 Item 18 Figure 3. Implemented minimum flows for the Lower Hillsborough River, i.e., flows diverted to the base of the Hillsborough River Dam from Sulphur Springs and the Hillsborough River Reservoir (after diversion from the Tampa Bypass Canal) on days when minimum flows were not met from 2000 through Minimum flows implementation has not, however, been sufficient to meet minimum flow requirements on all days. Flow deficits, i.e., flows needed to meet minimum flow requirements have ranged up to 26 cfs based on the lack of available recovery-source water or water-diversion issues such as equipment malfunctions. From October 1, 2017 through the end of the calendar year, minimum flow deficits have, however, been minimal (~1 cfs deficits occurred on 15 days, and a deficit of 5 cfs occurred on a single day during this recent period). Minimum flow deficits are expected to be eliminated upon full implementation of all projects identified in the LHR recovery strategy. The recent completion of the Blue Sink Project means that water from the sink can now be used in conjunction with water diverted from Sulphur Springs to recover minimum flows in the LHR before necessary recovery-flows are diverted from the TBC through the reservoir. Ongoing consideration of the Morris Bridge Sink Project and other potential recovery-flow source projects, including the City s proposed Tampa Augmentation Project will continue along with monitoring of river flows to ensure minimum flow requirements for the LHR are met. Based on findings from the first five-year recovery assessment, the District completed a project to further investigate potential DO concerns in the LHR. Results from the study (Cardno 2017) support findings and recommendations from the previous assessment concerning: the occurrence of DO stratification and hypoxia in LHR; improvements in DO concentrations associated with the onset of minimum flows implementation; the occurrence of low DO conditions upstream of the Hillsborough River Dam; and the utility of increased DO data Packet Pg. 36

56 Item 18 collection. As part of an ongoing joint District and U.S. Geological Survey funding agreement (District Project B182), continuous recording of DO, temperature and specific conductance data at a new gage site in the LHR, between Sulphur Springs and the portion of the LHR known as Hannah s Whirl was initiated in October In April 2017, the District initiated a project for development of the second rule-required, fiveyear assessment of the LHR recovery strategy. This project will include sampling of biological communities below the Hillsborough River Dam. Results from this sampling effort, as well as results from all recently completed and currently ongoing projects will be used to complete the five-year recovery strategy assessment in The City is separately proceeding with investigations of reclaimed water recovery as a part of the Tampa Augmentation Project (TAP) (District Project N751) that could increase available supplies to the Hillsborough River Reservoir. Progress on the TAP is expected to affect future activities associated with the Investigation of Storage or Additional Supply Options Project. Similarly, and as indicated in the Morris Bridge Sink Project implementation progress summary presented earlier in this report, completion of the TAP may also have implications for future Morris Bridge Sink Project activities, including the construction of the planned pump stations and transfer pipeline for diversion of water from the sink to the TBC. Development of the TAP may also defer or eliminate the need for new, permanent pumping facilities at the S-161 structure for transfer of water from the middle pool of the TBC to the Hillsborough Reservoir for subsequent release to the LHR for minimum flows recovery. In summary, all activities and projects proposed in the adopted recovery strategy are either underway, completed, or have been determined to not be viable. Table 1 summarizes funding status associated with the projects. Acquisition of necessary permits and other unforeseen issues have delayed construction and full implementation of some recovery strategy projects. However, important components of the recovery strategy are currently in operation or available, including the use of Sulphur Springs, Blue Sink and the TBC as recovery flow sources, and results from recent years suggest that the desired goal of creating low-salinity habitat below the Hillsborough River Dam can be sustained through minimum flows implementation.

60 Item 19 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Routine Report Minimum Flows and Levels Status Report Section of the Florida Statutes requires the state water management districts or Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to establish minimum flows and levels (MFLs) for aquifers, surface watercourses and other surface water bodies. MFLs are the limit at which further withdrawals would be significantly harmful to the water resources or ecology of the area and are used in District permitting programs and for water-supply planning. District staff continues to work on various phases of the development or reevaluation of MFLs for water bodies included on the Governing Board and DEP approved MFLs Priority List and Schedule. This status report highlights phased tasks that have been completed for prioritized water bodies since the last Governing Board meeting and summarizes cumulative progress for all currently prioritized water bodies. Phase 1 (Data collection). Data collection was completed for lakes Allen, Harvey and Virginia during the past month. To date, data collection has been completed for 25 of the 96 water bodies scheduled for MFLs adoption or reevaluation by Phase 2 (Data analyses and development of draft MFLs reports). Data analyses and a draft report addressing MFLs for lakes Allen, Harvey and Virginia were completed during the past month. Analyses and draft, internal-review reports have been completed for 20 of the 96 water bodies scheduled for MFLs adoption/reevaluation by Phase 3 (a. Presentation of draft MFLs reports to the Governing Board prior to peer review; b. presentation of peer review reports and staff responses to the Governing Board; c. public workshops; and d. presentation of final MFLs reports to the Governing Board for acceptance). a) No draft MFLs reports that are to be subjected to peer review were presented to the Governing Board this month. Draft reports for six currently prioritized water bodes that were subsequently peer reviewed have previously been submitted to the Governing Board. b) No peer review reports or staff response to peer review findings were presented to the Governing Board this month. To date, peer review reports and associated staff responses have been presented to the Governing Board for five of the 96 water bodies scheduled for MFLs adoption/ reevaluation by c) A public workshop on proposed MFLs for lakes Allen, Harvey and Virginia was held during the past month. To date, public workshops addressing 16 of the 96 water bodies scheduled for MFLs adoption/reevaluation by 2027 have been conducted. d) No final MFL reports were submitted to the Governing Board this month. To date, final reports addressing 13 of the 96 water bodies scheduled for MFLs adoption/reevaluation by 2027 have been accepted by the Governing Board. Phase 4 (Recovery Strategy Development). No new recovery strategies were developed for Governing Board consideration this month.

62 Item 20 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Routine Report Significant Water Resource and Development Projects This report provides information on significant Resource Management projects and programs in which the Governing Board is participating in funding. The report provides a brief description and status of significant activities associated with the project that have recently occurred or are about to happen. SWUCA Recovery Project at Flatford Swamp and Hydrologic Restoration The project investigates the feasibility of using excess water from Flatford Swamp recharged into the Upper Floridan Aquifer that would reduce the rate of saltwater intrusion inland and help restore hydroperiods. A water budget model comparing existing and historic conditions within Flatford Swamp was developed to determine the amount of excess water that could be captured for a beneficial use. Several preliminary scenarios for removal of excess water from the swamp have been evaluated such as a feasibility study to determine Mosaic s potential uses for excess water from Flatford Swamp. The Feasibility Study with Mosaic was finalized in March 2013, but determined unfeasible. Staff researched an injection option at Flatford for the excess water to recharge the aquifer and discussed the need for more information on the Avon Park formation at the swamp. A pre-application meeting with Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) was held on February 25, Draft Class V, Group 2 Injection Well permit application was issued by FDEP approximately a year later. The feasibility study memorandum is complete. Staff has presented to the Agricultural\Green Industry, Environmental, Well Drillers and Public Supply Advisory Committees. Also, staff had outreach presentations to the Manatee Chamber Environmental Committee, Myakka River Coordinating Council, and the Florida Groundwater Association Board. Governing Board approved at their April meeting to proceed with the test well project. The successful consultant from the Request for Proposal for the test well project was the Jones Edmunds & Associates team. The successful bidder for the drilling RFB was Rowe Drilling. Both the consultant and driller agreements were executed, and kick-off meetings were held on February 22, New Activities Since Last Meeting: Drilling continues on the 24-inch recharge well, but the driller has fallen several weeks behind their schedule. At the June status meeting, methods were discussed on how to get back on schedule. Driller will look into extended daylight hours at the site and possibly drilling at night. Survey and staking wetlands for the ERP permit is complete for the diversion infrastructure design. Project Manager: Lisann Morris Lower Hillsborough River MFLs Recovery Strategy - Implementation At its August 2007 meeting, the Governing Board established minimum flows and approved a recovery strategy for the lower Hillsborough River (LHR). The recovery strategy was adopted as required by statute, because flows in the LHR were below the established minimum flows. The recovery strategy includes a number of projects to divert water from various sources to help meet the minimum flows. Projects planned under the recovery strategy, funded through a Joint Funding Agreement with the City of Tampa (COT), include diversions of water from Sulphur Springs, Blue Sink, the Tampa Bypass Canal (TBC), and Morris Bridge Sink. Pursuant to the recovery strategy, since December 31, 2007, 75 percent of up to 11 cubic feet per second (cfs) (i.e., 8.2 cfs) transferred to the reservoir from the TBC is being pumped to the base of the Hillsborough River Dam. The District received notification from the COT on November 7, 2011, that the Sulphur Springs Run Lower Weir project was complete and the pumping facilities and Upper Weir modifications to assist in meeting the MFL were completed in January The Packet Pg. 43

63 Item 20 COT completed construction for the Blue Sink pipeline in April 2016 and construction restoration was completed in May In November 2017 the COT began operation of the Blue Sink pumping facility. In October 2017, the District completed design for the Morris Bridge Pumping facility, but construction has not begun pending the outcome of analysis the COT is performing on other alternative supplies to meet the MFL, specifically associated with the Tampa Augmentation Project (TAP - Q028). In 2017, the COT began the process of taking over operation of pump stations on the TBC, as required by the recovery strategy. In addition, a CFA between the COT and the District for the LHR Dam Control Gate Facilities (N492, Agreement No. 17CF ) was completed to construct a new sluice gate in the dam to allow the city to pass the full quantity of water needed to meet minimum flows. In accordance with the permit issued to the District by the FDEP for planned minimum flow recovery pumping from Morris Bridge Sink, the District submitted a review/assessment of the recovery strategy to FDEP in December In December 2017 the COT began operation of the temporary pump stations at the District s S-161 site and at the Hillsborough River Dam site. In summary, all activities and projects proposed in the adopted recovery strategy are either underway, completed, or have been determined to not be viable. Acquisition of necessary permits and other unforeseen issues have delayed construction and full implementation of some recovery strategy projects. However, important components of the recovery strategy are currently in operation, including the use of Sulphur Springs, Blue Sink, and the TBC as recovery flow sources, and results from recent years suggest that the desired goal of creating low salinity habitat below the dam can be sustained through minimum flows implementation. The District and the COT continue to work cooperatively to determine how the MFL will be impacted through the proposed COT TAP - Q028 project. The COT has met with District staff and is pursuing additional coordination regarding minimum flow requirements to support the updating of their minimum flow operating procedures. Water quality monitoring, soil subsidence monitoring and biological sampling for 2017 for the WUP for Morris Bridge Sink has been completed. The annual reports to FDEP for permit compliance for the S-161 WUP and Morris Bridge Sink WUP were submitted on March 30, New Activities Since Last Meeting: The LHR Dam Control Gate Facility tube, slide gate, and actuator have been installed, tested and calibrated. The removal of the cofferdam and project demobilization is expected to be complete before the July 24, 2018 Governing Board meeting. Vegetation monitoring and wildlife monitoring for the WUP for Morris Bridge Sink has been completed. The first pilot algal removal event for Sulphur Springs was conducted on May 31, Project Managers: Barbara Nordheim-Shelt; Mary Spence TECO s Polk Power Station Reclaimed Water Interconnects to Lakeland/Polk County/ Mulberry This regional project, consisting of transmission pipelines, pump stations, storage tank, advanced treatment and deep injection well, is providing up to 10 mgd of reclaimed water from four domestic wastewater treatment facilities (Lakeland Glendale, Lakeland Northside, Mulberry, and Polk County Southwest) to Tampa Electric Company s (TECO) power facility in southwest (SW) Polk County (Polk Power Station). The reclaimed water is necessary as TECO expanded the Polk Power Station generation capacity. The cooperatively funded reclaimed water project (H076-Phase I) was originally anticipated to provide 5.2 mgd (expandable up to 6.7 mgd) of reclaimed water from the City of Lakeland; however, the supply and benefits were expanded several times to 10 mgd (expandable to 17 mgd) and total project costs increased to $96,960,725. The increases improved cost-effectiveness and will utilize 100 percent of all available reclaimed water from Lakeland, Mulberry and SW Polk to beyond TECO replaced, to the greatest extent possible, 3 to 8 mgd of existing groundwater uses in with reclaimed water before the full project expansion was completed in late Additional Information: In order to utilize the reclaimed water, the project includes advanced treatment (filtration and membranes) which is necessary to reduce dissolved solids to an acceptable level. Packet Pg. 44

64 Item 20 The membrane reject water (concentrate by-product) is mixed with other Polk Power Station discharge water and pumped to two new deep injection wells for final disposal. The four primary project components are complete with; 1. The Lakeland segment on-line in 2015; 2. The reclaimed water treatment system, storage tank and injection well at the TECO facility on-line in 2015; 3. The Polk SW segment completed and on-line December of 2017; and 4. The Mulberry pipeline segment and pump station on-line in Per the June 2016 Amendment adding the final District funding, the District budgeted $45,676,957 in ad valorem and an additional $3,526,063 in WRAP funds (totaling $49,203,020 in District funding), of which a total of $46,122,080 has been reimbursed (TECO is compiling final billing and close-out documents). The project is utilizing Lakeland s, Mulberry s, and Polk County s effluent to supply 5 to 10 mgd of reclaimed water, thereby reducing groundwater pumping at the TECO Polk Power Facility. Full commissioning and testing to the 10 mgd capacity was completed in late Billing close-out efforts are continuing by TECO. New Activities Since Last Meeting: Semi-final billings were submitted and processed. Project Manager: Anthony Andrade Aquifer Recharge Projects City of Clearwater - Groundwater Replenishment Project - Phase 3 This is an ongoing project which previously completed work on an advanced water purification pilot plant test and one groundwater recharge injection site. Results from the water purification plant pilot tests and injection well testing demonstrated that this project would be successful in allowing the City to increase their reclaimed water utilization, reducing surface discharges, improving groundwater levels in the Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area, and increasing the City s future water supply potential from their existing wellfields. Phase 3 of this project is the design, third-party review, permitting and construction of the full-scale water purification plant and the injection and monitor well systems to recharge 2.4 mgd annual average of purified recycled water at Clearwater s Northeast Water Reclamation Facility. Public outreach is also a critical function throughout the design and construction of this project. The original CFI contract with the City for this project was executed in January An increase in the total project cost from $28,680,000 to $32,716,000, was requested at the District s September 27, 2016 Governing Board Meeting based on results of a 30 percent design and third-party review. The Board approved the City s request to move forward with final design and construction and authorized a contract amendment for the project (current budget of $32,716,000 with the District funding a total of $16,358,000). This contract amendment was executed on March 6, Of the District s contribution, $1,554,000 was approved in FY2015, $2,131,600 was approved in FY2016, and $8,000,000 was approved in FY2018. The remaining $4,672,400 is currently requested in the FY2019 CFI application. The 100 percent design is complete and final design is pending permit issuance by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Three public meetings were conducted by the City between November 2016 and May Permit Applications for the Advanced Water Purification Plant were logged in at the FDEP on October 20, 2017 and are anticipated to be issued at the end of 2017 or beginning of Site Development Permit Applications are with FDEP Environmental Resource Permitting, Florida Department of Transportation Right of Way Access, the City and the County. Construction is currently scheduled to be complete at the beginning of 2020 and facility operations should begin in April The next task, project bidding, is pending final permits and final design. The FDEP Intent to Issue for the Advanced Water Purification Plant permit was initially received on January 10, Following subsequent edits, the final Intent to Issue with a revised public notification form was provided on February 12, The City published the required notification in the Tampa Bay Times on February 16, New Activities Since Last Meeting: A FDEP public meeting for the UIC permit was conducted on June 13, 2018, 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Clearwater Main Library, 100 North Osceola Avenue, Clearwater, Florida A total of four citizens signed in at this meeting. The project team is waiting for FDEP to issue the final permits in the coming weeks. Project Manager: Robert Peterson Packet Pg. 45

65 Item 20 Pasco County - Reclaimed Water Natural Systems Treatment and Restoration Project A desktop feasibility study to assess the use of highly treated reclaimed water to indirectly recharge the UFA via constructed wetlands and/or rapid infiltration basins (RIB) in central Pasco County areas was completed in January The study showed that indirect aquifer recharge is a viable option for Pasco County. A Phase II feasibility study and report was completed in February 2012 and included a screening analysis for potential RIB locations, as well as cost analyses refinements for potential future phases. Phase III includes field testing and modeling on the 4G Ranch in Pasco County. The final draft of the Phase III project report was received by the District on December 12, 2014; and a teleconference was held on December 16, 2014, to discuss preliminary comments. District staff sent report comments on December 23, Multiple meetings have been held to further discuss the District s comments. A request to extend the deadlines of Tasks 2 and 3, and the project end date to June 30, 2015, was received on February 26, A request to use the contingency funds in the Agreement ($10,000) was also received. Meetings were held to discuss 30 percent design on March 25, March 30, and April 9, Pre-application meetings with FDEP occurred on March 31, 2015, to discuss the Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) for the project; and on April 7, 2015, to discuss the NPDES permit. A field visit with FDEP was held on April 23, Meetings to discuss the modeling work occurred on April 22 and May 5, The District received the final 30 percent design package on May 5, 2015, a draft Agreement, Project Plan, Easement, and Lease were developed, and the Governing Board gave staff authorization to proceed with third party review of the 30 percent design package at the July 2015 Board meeting. The results of the third-party review were received on August 24, The review concluded that the project scope and budget were reasonable and would meet the project objectives. The review also concluded that the methods used to determine the measurable benefit of at least 2.2 mgd of reclaimed water on a ten-year annual average were reasonable. On August 27, 2015, the project team met with FDEP to discuss the submittal of the application to modify the County s NPDES permit. Both the ERP and NPDES permits have been submitted to FDEP. The Governing Board approved the County s and staff s request to move forward with final design and permitting of the project at their September 2015 meeting. The Board also directed staff to enter into an agreement for 50 percent of the total project cost identified in the 30 percent design ($14,300,966), allowing reimbursement of the District s share for the design, permitting, and construction of this facility. The completed N666 Agreement was sent to Pasco County for their signature on October 5, The 60 percent costs were received on October 29, The 90 percent design was received on December 18, The draft NPDES and ERP permits have been received as of December 18, The 90 percent cost estimates from CH2M Hill (Pasco County consultant) and P&J (land owner/contractor) were completed. All permits were issued as of January A meeting was held with the project team on February 11, 2016 to review the estimates, and some revisions and clarification were made on both estimates. The 100 percent design drawings were received on March 10, The Pasco County Commission approved the Agreement at their May 10, 2016 meeting, and the District received the Agreement on May 25, The 100 percent costs were received March 25, The Agreement was sent to Executive for signature on July 1, The Agreement was fully executed on July 11, Construction began as of mid-june 2016, and is progressing on or ahead of schedule. A groundbreaking ceremony took place on October 24, 2016, including tours of the existing construction so far, and television press. A field trip for District staff took place on February 2, Most earthwork and pipe installation is complete. Construction is ongoing and is on schedule. Planting is ongoing through July. As of October 13, 2017, all construction has been completed with the exception of some final SCADA controls. A task extension to complete this and CEI work by December 31, 2017 was approved by the District. The County applied for FY2018 funding for a follow-up project to optimize the facility for recharge. Funding was approved for FY2018, and the agreement is currently being developed. The County has applied for FY2019 funding for this project as well. The County is sending the remaining deliverables to Packet Pg. 46

66 Item 20 the District but is still working with the subcontractor to work out some problems with the SCADA system. The District is processing a no-cost time extension for the current Agreement in case the issues are not finalized with the subcontractor by June 30, Otherwise, the project construction is complete. New Activities Since Last Meeting: No changes since last meeting. Project Manager: Mike Hancock South Hillsborough County Aquifer Recharge Program (SHARP) This is a direct aquifer recharge pilot project to evaluate directly recharging the non-potable zone of the UFA with up to 2 mgd of highly treated reclaimed water at the Hillsborough County s Big Bend facility near Apollo Beach in southern Hillsborough County (County). The goal of the project is to improve water levels within the Most Impacted Area of the Southern Water Use Caution Area and possible slow the rate of inland movement of saltwater intrusion in the area. The pilot testing program includes permitting, installing a recharge well and associated monitor wells, assessing aquifer characteristics, performing recharge testing, evaluating water level improvements, migration of the recharge water and metals mobilization, and conducting public outreach. The County s consultant submitted the well construction permit application for authorization to install the test recharge well and monitoring wells on December 20, Design and preparation of bid documents were completed in early July 2012; a request for bids was released the week of July 16, 2012, with responses received in August Construction contract with the contractor (A.C. Schultes of Florida, Inc.) was approved by the County on April 3, The recharge well was completed in December 2013 with an open-hole diameter of inches, 780 feet of casing, and a total depth of 1,100 feet. The County received a letter from FDEP on July 13, 2015 authorizing recharge operations to begin. New Activities Since Last Meeting: Recharge testing and monitoring continued during the months of April and May. The total injected volume for May was 82 MG for the month. It is approximated as of June 25, 2018 that an additional 73 MG has been recharged resulting in approximately 1.67 billion gallons recharged since the beginning of the project. The County acidized the recharge well on May 9, 2018 and average flow rate increased from 1.9 MGD to 3.0 MGD. The County requested a contract amendment to extend the recharge testing phase to evaluate an increased injection rate prior to applying for an operation permit. The no cost increase schedule and contract extension amendment is routing internally for approvals and the District anticipates that it will be executed in August Project Manager: Don Ellison City of Tampa, Tampa Augmentation Project (TAP) This project is a study that will explore the cost and feasibility of two options to beneficially use reclaimed water from the Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant. The first alternative concept involves transmitting reclaimed water to the Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve Area and delivering water through created wetlands and/or rapid infiltration basins (RIBs) to the Tampa Bypass Canal. This alternative was found infeasible and the project focus went to the second alternative. The second alternative concept evaluates a recharge/recovery system to store and recover reclaimed water (and possibly stormwater) in the aquifer for delivery to the Hillsborough River Reservoir and possibly in the future directly to the David L Tippen Water Treatment Plant. The City has developed their stakeholder outreach plan, completed their route and regulatory/institutional analysis memorandums. The City is currently testing the recharge/recovery concept at an existing aquifer storage and recovery site. A No Cost Time Extension amendment is being routed to allow for finalization of the more complex memoranda covering modeling and water quality treatment. A draft Florida Department of Environmental Protection Underground Injection Well permit application was prepared. Additional feasibility tasks have been identified as a result of this first phase and the City has submitted a revised Cooperative Funding Application to request funding for Fiscal Year No Cost Time Extension was executed extending the contract completion date to the end of August New Activities Since Last Meeting: The City continues to develop the Final Feasibility Memorandum for this phase.

100 Item 27 FINANCE/OUTREACH & PLANNING COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Routine Report Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Related Reviews Report Purpose This report is provided for the Committee s information and shows District activity in the review of Local Government Comprehensive Plans and Amendments. Staff updates the report monthly. Background/History The water management districts provide technical and policy information on water resources and water resource management to local governments as they prepare amendments to their local government comprehensive plans. This information encompasses various areas of water resource management, including water supply, flood protection and water quality, and is intended to support sound land use decisions. Statutory directives for this assistance include Section , Florida Statutes (F.S.), Technical Assistance to Local Governments, and Section , F.S., Process for Adoption of Comprehensive Plan or Plan Amendments. Under Section 163, F.S., substantially revised in 2011, if important state resources and facilities are to be adversely impacted, the water management districts and other state reviewing agencies must state with specificity how the plan amendment will adversely impact the resource or facility and must include measures that the local government may take to eliminate, reduce, or mitigate the impacts. Any plan amendment comments provided by a water management district and/or other state agencies that are not resolved may be challenged by the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). Benefits/Costs The benefits of the District s local government technical assistance program are to ensure local government elected officials have sound water resource technical and policy information as they amend their local government comprehensive plans. This helps to ensure local plans are compatible with the District s plans, programs and statutory direction. Costs for this program primarily include staff time and are budgeted in Fund 10 (Governing Board). Staff Recommendation: This item is provided for the Committee s information and no action is required. Presenter: Cara Martin, Office Chief, Government and Community Affairs Packet Pg. 79

107 Item 29 OPERATIONS, LANDS, AND RESOURCE MONITORING COMMITTEE July 24, 2018 Discussion Item Hydrologic Conditions Report This routine report provides information on the general state of the District's hydrologic conditions, by comparing rainfall, surface water, and groundwater levels for the month under review, which is June, with comparable data from the historical record. The data shown are typically considered final, fully verified monthly values, but occasionally, due to timing of publication, some data are identified as "provisional," meaning that the values shown are best estimates based on incomplete data. The information presented below is a summary of data presented in more detail in the monthly Hydrologic Conditions Report published the week before the Governing Board meeting, which also includes an updated provisional summary of hydrologic conditions as of the date of publication. Rainfall Rainfall totals for June indicate amounts were within the normal range in all three regions of the District. The normal range is defined as rainfall totals that fall on or between the 25 th to 75 th percentiles derived from the historical data for each month. Northern region rainfall averaged 7.34 inches, equivalent to the 52 nd percentile Central region rainfall averaged 6.38 inches, equivalent to the 46 th percentile. Southern region rainfall averaged 6.49 inches, equivalent to the 36 th percentile. District-wide, average rainfall was 6.68 inches, equivalent to the 44 th percentile. Streamflow June streamflow data indicate that flow increased in all three regions of the District, compared to the previous month. Based on flow measurements in regional index rivers, streamflow conditions were above-normal in all three regions. Normal streamflow is defined as flow that falls on or between the 25 th and 75 th percentiles. The monthly average streamflow in the Withlacoochee River near Holder in the northern region was in the 78 th percentile. The monthly average streamflow measured in the Hillsborough River near Zephyrhills in the central region was in the 90 th percentile. The monthly average streamflow measured in the Peace River at Arcadia in the southern region was in the 87 th percentile. Groundwater Levels Groundwater data for June indicates that levels in the Floridan/Intermediate aquifer increased in all three regions of the District, compared to last month. Groundwater levels ended the month at above-normal levels in all three regions. Normal groundwater levels are defined as those falling on or between the 25 th and 75 th percentiles. The average groundwater level in the northern region was in the 80 th percentile. The average groundwater level in the central region was in the 79 th percentile. Packet Pg. 84

108 Item 29 The average groundwater level in the southern region was in the 78 th percentile. Lake Levels Water level data for June indicates that average regional lake levels increased in all four lake regions of the District, compared to the previous month. Regional lake levels ended the month below the annual normal range in the northern region of the District, while levels were within the normal range in the Tampa Bay, Polk Uplands and Lake Wales Ridge regions. Normal lake levels are generally considered to be levels that fall between the minimum low management level and the minimum flood level. Average levels in the northern region increased 0.30 foot and were 0.50 foot below the base of the annual normal range. Average lake levels in the Tampa Bay region increased 0.31 foot and were 0.89 foot above the base of the annual normal range. Average lake levels in the Polk Uplands region increased 0.40 foot and were 1.63 feet above the base of the annual normal range. Average lake levels in the Lake Wales Ridge region increased 0.53 foot and were 0.42 foot above the base of the annual normal range. Issues of Significance June marked the start of the official four-month wet season (June through September) and rainfall totals for the month saw accumulations within the normal range in all three regions of the District. Rainfall during June saw typical summertime sea-breeze/convective thunderstorm activity that generally brought scattered daily rain-showers throughout the District that helped sustain the hydrologic improvements that occurred from the abundant rainfall in May. The District-wide 12- and 24-month cumulative rainfall totals ended the month at a surplus of approximately 7.4 and 1.4 inches, respectively, above their long-term historic averages. All hydrologic indicators saw improvements in June. Groundwater levels improved, ending the month at above-normal levels in all regions. Streamflow conditions remained at above-normal flows in regional index rivers that enhanced their use as public supply sources. Regional lake levels saw improvements as well, while levels for the Tampa Bay, Polk Uplands and Lake Wales Ridge regions remained within their respective annual normal ranges, while the regional level for the northern region remained below-normal. NOAA climate forecasts for the remainder of the wet season (June-September) are inconclusive, predicting equal chances for below-normal, normal or above-normal rainfall. Current NOAA models continue to suggest that the Pacific Ocean may transition from existing neutral conditions into El Niño conditions sometime during the coming fall or winter months, which could bring wetter-than-normal conditions during that time-period. Updated weather forecasts will be available in mid-july. Staff will continue to closely monitor conditions in accordance with the District's updated Water Shortage Plan, including any necessary supplemental analysis of pertinent data. Packet Pg. 85
