The basin is located in Highlands and Polk Counties. Water quality monitoring stations have been sampled since 1988. The objectives of this program are: 1.Monitoring water quality in support of the FDEP s Dairy Rule by providing nutrient concentrations at the dairy outflows and providing information to evaluate the effectiveness of dairy BMP s. 2.Assessing tributary, basin loading, and concentration inputs to Lake Okeechobee. The data will delineate the relative importance of tributary loading within the basin, and to the whole basin output. 3.Developing basin and spatial scale models to predict changes in loads to Lake Okeechobee as a function of land use including the following a) Providing data for determining statistical or mechanistic relationships between rainfall, land use (or land type), and nutrient runoff into streams. b) Providing data to help identify the cause of high episodic phosphorus events. Data generated from this program also support the Lake Istokpoga water quality monitoring program and is integral in development of the Lake Okeechobee Water Quality Management Plan as required by the state's Surface Water Improvement and Management Legislation of 1987.

DERM began routine monitoring of Biscayne Bay surface water quality in March 1979. The original program consisted of 48 fixed stations distributed throughout the Bay and at the mouths of most major tributaries. Over the years, sampling stations were added and the parameter matrix was modified. The most significant changes occurred when the District began funding the Program in 1988 as part of the Biscayne Bay Surface Water Management and Implementation (SWIM) Plan. Degradation of water quality in Biscayne Bay was a primary factor that influenced the State legislature to place Biscayne Bay on the initial SWIM priority list. Stations were added primarily in the tributaries and the parameter matrix was expanded in an effort to: 1) detect spatial, seasonal and interannual trends and possible impacts on the health of the bay ecosystem and 2) identify areas of potential degradation. These data have been instrumental in documenting a variety of impacts to surface water quality in Biscayne Bay and continue to give direction for investigations and remedial actions. The data are regularly used by academic institutions, private sector organizations and public agencies. Monthly surface water quality monitoring at 25 sites in Biscayne Bay is also conducted by Florida International University as part of the South Florida Estuarine Water Quality Monitoring Program described in Section 23.

HOLLER WC 05-MAY-1986 21-DEC-1987 BRM Brighton Reservation Monitoring: Nutrient Sampling Cheol Mo WQM wpdavis 10-OCT-2002 07-JUL-2011 Spatial Description: The Brighton Seminole reservation is located near the northwest shore of Lake Okeechobee in Glades County. The reservation lies between the C-40 and C-41 canals which drain agricultural and marsh areas between the reservation and Lake Istopoga. Historically, the Seminole tribes? Water Reservation came from Lake Istopoga. As the population grew on the reservation, the tribe felt they were not receiving sufficient amounts of water from Lake Istopoga. Under federal law, the state (i.e., the District) needed to make certain that the Water Reservation for the Seminole tribe was met. To address this concern, the District put in structures (G207 and G208) to pump water from Lake Okeechobee back to the reservation, particularly in times of drought.Two stations to be sampled for Project BRM (C40VMB and C41VMB) are located at the southeast border where the water exits the reservation and are considered Type 2 mandated stations. The structures G207 and G208 aresampled under Project X but the data should be included in optimization efforts for Project BRM. Additionally,structures on the L-60 levee (L-59W, L60E, L60W, L61E) are part of Project X, but should be included when evaluating data for Project BRM. These stations considered Type 1 mandated under Project X. Stations S71 and S72 also should be considered when evaluating data for Project BRM. Again, these stations are monitored under project X as Type 1 stations because they are major inflows into Lake Okeechobee. Project Purpose, Goals and Objectives: The primary purpose of Project BRM is to address the mandates specified above, particularly the agreement the SFWMD has with the tribes to address water quality issues. The Brighton Seminole Reservation has its own internal water quality monitoring program. Project BRM was instituted because the Reservation began detecting spikes in the water coming off their land and it did not appear to be from any internal practices. Therefore, one goal of the project is to determine the source (s) of total phosphorous measured by the Tribe at monitoring stations February 20061 in the primary and secondary canals of the Brighton Seminole Indian Reservation. Another goal for this project involves investigating potential water quality changes within the reservation boundaries, in response to the integration of water supplies from Lake Okeechobee. Specific objectives include assessing the quality and quantity of water delivered to the reservation from Lake Okeechobee via pump stations G207 & G208, assessing the quality and quantity of water delivered to the reservation via the C-40 and C-41 canals, and assessing water sources entering and leaving the reservation. Sampling Frequency and Parameters Sampled: Samples are collected weekly from flow proportional autosamplers for total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrite+nitrate and total phosphorus. Autosamplers are located at sampling stations C40VMB, C41VMB, G207, G208, S71 and S72. Grab samples for the same parameters (total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrite+nitrate and total phosphorus) are sampled weekly when flowing from these same stations. Sampling also occurs at stations on the L-60 levee (L59W, L60E, L60W and L61E) on a bi-monthly basis when flowing. If the water is not flowing, sampling is conducted monthly. Current and Future Data Uses: The data from the BRM will be included in the annual Lake Okeechobee Watershed Assessment Report and the South Florida Environmental Report. Additionally, this information will be incorporated into a report for the Seminole Tribe under the Seminole Agreement. In the future, data from several of the Project X stations that are sampled under Project BRM will also be used for TMDL development. C Closed System M.

The C111F Project was initiated in 2003 in response to FDEPs Emergency Order to Operate pump stations S332B, S332C, and S332D issued to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The District has a vested interest in monitoring these structures as they serve as potential inflows to Everglades National Park and therefore can be designated delivery structures under the Settlement Agreement. The C111F Project was designated to manage the mercury in fish monitoring components of the Emergency Order, while C111D and ENPW were created to manage monitoring of surface water and groundwater, respectively. The initial mandate required quarterly collection of mosquitofish and annual collection of bass and sunfish. However, because of operational guidelines, water levels in the detention area are often less than 10 cm if not completely dry, making the collection of fish difficult. Given these conditions, in 2006 FDEP approved ending the annual collection of bass and sunfish, and reduced mosquitofish monitoring to annually. C111SC C-111 Spreader Canal Steve Kelly ASB 02-JUL-2015 27-DEC-2018 This project will be implemented via two Project Implementation Reports (Western PIR and Eastern PIR). Project objectives include: - Restore the quantity, timing and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough to levels nearest as possible to the pre-drainage model runs. - Improve hydroperiods and hydropatterns in the Southern Glades and Model Lands. Hydroperiods will be improved to support historical vegetation patterns nearest as possible to the pre-drainage model runs; and hydropatterns will be restored to historical sloughs with associated tributaries. - Return coastal zone salinity levels in western Florida Bay to levels as close as possible to pre-drainage scenario model runs by restoring upstream water levels in eastern Everglades National Park. The Western PIR recommended plan includes a 590-acre Frog Pond detention area and a 225 cfs pump station; creating a mound of groundwater to the south and west, by preventing groundwater seepage to the east and improving water deliveries (quantity, timing and distribution) to Eastern Florida Bay. It also includes a second 225 cfs pump station and modifications to increase the water level in the Aerojet Canal to further prevent groundwater seepage to the east. The Eastern PIR project will replace existing portions of the lower C-111 canal with a spreader canal to enhance sheetflow to Florida Bay, and restoration efforts within the Southern Glades and Model Lands.

The EFA mandates that landowners within the C-139 Basin should not collectively exceed average annual historic total phosphorus, TP load adjusted for rainfall. The C139B project is designed to locate TP contributions upstream of the sub basin level, and is supplementary to the existing flow and concentration monitoring in the C139D project. Phosphorus speciation parameters of TDPO4 and OPO4 are collected to assess upstream water quality and nutrient sources. The C139B projects role in the water quality and flow monitoring design is to provide a snapshot of phosphorus concentrations throughout the watershed during the wet season. Although the total TP load cannot be calculated accurately for these grab sample only sites, coordination with periodic streamflow measurement allows approximation of relative upstream nutrient contributions. Wet season only collection at these sites is designed to characterize the majority of flows, and sampling of TPO4, TDPO4, and OPO4 is intended to provide a valuable comparison of these upstream sites with the subregional C139D project sites.

The EFA mandates that landowners within the C-139 Basin shall not collectively exceed the average annual historic total phosphorus (TP) load adjusted for rainfall. Despite implementation of Better Management Practices (BMPs), the C139 Basin continues to have difficulty meeting the compliance standards. The C139D project is designed to locate TP contributions at the sub basin level. Phosphorus speciation parameters of TDPO4 and OPO4 are also collected to assess upstream water quality and nutrient sources. The C139 water quality and flow monitoring design includes 3 tiers starting at the basin outlet and moving upstream into tributaries. Tiers 2 and 3 make up the C139D project. Tier 2 locations quantify the magnitude of flows and phosphorus loads from the three main arterial sources in the Basin (Deerfence Canal, S&M Canal, and the divide between the L1 and L2 Canal). Tier 3 sites will quantify flows and phosphorus loads from smaller geographic units within the various sub-regions. Tier 3 sites consist of six strategically located upstream water quality and flow monitoring sites. C139F C-139 Grant Program dtharin 10-JUL-2006 14-SEP-2006 C-139 Grant Program.

The water quality monitoring program provides a water quality and nutrient loading data base for, 1.Complying with monitoring requirements of the Everglades National Park (TENP) Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the National Park Service, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD or District), and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (COE) 2.Implementing the Lake Okeechobee Technical Advisory Committee s (LOTAC) s recommendation for a comprehensive monitoring and research plan as described in the Department of Environmental Protection s Lake Okeechobee Monitoring and Research Plan 3.Determining long and short term trends necessary to identify the downstream impacts of LOTAC s Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) implementation plan for the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) and 4.Determining effectiveness of the implementation of basin management plans in reducing nutrient loadings to the WCA. Water quality data are also used to establish nutrient budgets for the WCA. Monitoring of nutrients and other water quality parameters is important in the quantification of the effect of inflows on the ecology of the marsh. With the implementation of the SWIM Act, the data collected will be instrumental in evaluating downstream impacts of the Interim Action Plan and other possible management alternatives for the EAA. These data can indicate trends in the changes in water quality, allow for better management of the system, and monitor for environmental enhancement or degradation. Values that deviate significantly from established criteria may signal a concern requiring immediate attention. CASP CONSERVATION AREA II INTERSTITIAL STUDY ES 25-JAN-1990 29-OCT-1990 CAULK Caulkins Water Farm Pilot Project Brian Collins WQM bcollins 31-JAN-2015 The Caulkins water farm (WF) is a pilot project for the Dispersed Water Management Program, and consists of a surface water impoundment of approximately 414 acres areas with an estimated annual storage of 6,780 acre-feet adjacent to the St. Lucie Canal in southern Martin County.The Hydrogeology Section was asked by the Dispersed Water Management program to initiate a project to estimate the impoundment seepage quantity and direction of groundwater flow into the adjacent aquifer, adjacent canals, or the St. Lucie Canal. In addition, water quality samples will be collected from within the aquifer by the Water Quality Monitoring Section to better characterize the source of water. A water budget is also being developed that will quantify flow into the WF from pumpage from the St. Lucie Canal and rain, and flow out of the WF via evapotranspiration and seepage. In an effort to conserve on additional expenditures, existing land owner survey data was combined with District LIDAR data. This data was complemented by site-specific surveys which included a small scale C-44 bathymetric survey. Overall results allowed District staff to establish a stage-storage relationship that will be used for the water budget. Beginning in September 2014, fourteen (14) groundwater monitoring wells were installed in the surficial aquifer and six surface water stage monitoring stations were installed in the WF, adjacent canals, and St. Lucie River. Four shallow wells approximately 15 feet below ground surface (bgs), three intermediate wells approximately 30 feet bgs, and three deep wells approximately 80 to 130 feet bgs were installed adjacent to the WF and the St. Lucie Canal. One well cluster consisting of one shallow, one intermediate, and two deep wells were recently (February 2015) installed in the center of the WF on an elevated platform. Slug tests were conducted for estimation of hydraulic conductivity, and data loggers were installed at each station for water level monitoring. Comparison of water levels between wells and adjacent surface water, along with estimated hydraulic conductivity, will allow for estimation of flow velocities and direction. Current monitoring consists of monthly site visits for downloading water level data from each station. In addition, beginning this month, two water quality sampling events are planned. Each well and select surface water stations will be sampled for nutrients, cations and anions. One sampling event will occur during the dry season (low stage), and one sampling event is planned during the wet season.

In 1999, a subsequent cooperative agreement expanded the monitoring to include 15 additional sites. In 2000, this network was refined to complement the existing South Florida Coastal Water Quality Monitoring Program conducted in Collier County coastal waters by Florida International University (FIU) under District contract. Collier County Pollution Control Department utilizes analytical methods and field sampling protocol comparable with those used by FIU. This unified sampling effort is imperative to comprehensively examine water quality trends. Continuity and comparability of data are integral to identify the current status of the southwest Florida ecosystem and to detect its responses to changes in upstream water management practices. This project entails surface water quality monitoring at 43 sites in the Big Cypress Basin watershed and adjacent coastal waters. The Collier County Pollution Control Department collects and analyzes surface water samples from six canal outfall sites in the Big Cypress Basin estuarine system, 15 complementary inland locations, and 22 sites within the Big Cypress Basin. Field measurements conducted at each site monthly are temperature, dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, salinity and secchi depth. Physical variables analyzed monthly at all sites include color, hardness, turbidity (NTU), total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS). Dissolved nutrients analyzed monthly at all sites include nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2-), nitrate + nitrite (NOx-), ammonia (NH4+), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and ortho phosphorus (OrthoP). Total concentrations of nitrogen (TN), Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), organic nitrogen (TON), phosphorus (TP), and organic carbon (TOC) are also measured monthly. Four biological parameters measured monthly are total coliform (TotCol), fecal coliform (FecCol), chlorophyll a (Chl a), and phaeophytin (Phae). The major ions analyzed quarterly are alkalinity (Alka), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), fluoride (F), chloride (Cl), silicate (Si(OH)4), and sulfate (SO4). The trace metals analyzed quarterly include zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and chromium (Cr). Some parameters are not measured directly, but calculated by difference. Total dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) is calculated as NOx- + NH4+. Total organic nitrogen (TON) is defined as TN - DIN. NOx- is calculated as NO3- + NO2-. Specific outputs of this project are quarterly data reports, annual statistical and graphical summaries of all data collected since the inception of the program, evaluations of the observed data trends, and overall project conclusions and recommendations.

The objective of this monitoring effort is to provide total phosphorus concentrations in the ambient water for the computation of loads into and out of the EAA basin in accordance with the Everglades Program, which requires the diversion of a portion (80%) of discharges away from Lake Okeechobee. The East Shore and East Beach Water Control Districts are designated as Chapter 298 Districts within the Lake Okeechobee basin. The East Shore L6-S Canal and the East Beach C4 Canal were constructed during 2000-2001. The movement of water out of these canals was facilitated through the construction of two pump stations (at the interface of each of the canals with the Hillsboro and West Palm Beach Canals) that can divert the water south to STA1E, STA1W & STA2. The South Shore Drainage District Diversion Canal and the South Florida Conservancy District Diversion Canal were constructed during 2004. The movement of water out of these canals was facilitated through the construction of two pump stations (at the interface of each of the canals with the Miami Canal) that can divert the water south to either STA 3/4 or STA5. Completion of these improvements triggered the monitoring requirement established under Chapter 40E-63, F.A.C. Additionally, EAA discharge points at the STA3/4 Diversion locations on the Miami, North New River and L13 Canals are also monitored.

In January 1979, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD or District), the National Park Service and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (COE) entered into a joint Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the intent to establish non-degradation standards for water quality parameters for waters delivered to the PARK through water control structures along L-67A, L-31W and C-111. In October 1985, the District agreed to take over the responsibility for analyzing the samples collected from the interior of the PARK. The collection of the water samples from the interior of the PARK are collected by the PARK personnel. All appropriate sampling supplies are provided by the District. The monitoring programs provide nutrient loading data base for 1.Determining long and short term trends for the (LOTAC) Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) plan. 2.Comparing standards that were established for inflow water quality to the PARK. These standards are based on historical (1970-1978) average annual concentrations.

FLAB Florida Bay Monitoring Steve Kelly WQM mcollins 14-MAR-1991 This collaborative program with the Everglades National Park (ENP) and Florida International University (FIU) consists of surface water quality monitoring networks in the Shark Slough estuaries, Florida, Whitewater and Biscayne Bay, the Ten Thousand Islands, and the southwest Florida Shelf. This program has two components: 1) continuous data collection from fixed stations by ENP and 2) discontinuous grab sample data collection by FIU. The ENP continuous data collection project includes three elements: 1) the marine monitoring network (MMN) 2) the C-111 and Joe Bay network; and 3) the telemetric data network. The MMN, maintains and collects continuous physical-chemical data from 28 fixed stations within the Park. As ENP expands the MMN network on the Gulf Coast will be reported. The second element consists of continuous data collection from the Joe Bay meteorological tower and four C-111 stations in Manatee Bay and Barnes Sound, which are jointly operated and maintained by the ENP and the District. The third element consists of data that are telemetered daily from 15 MMN sites and the Joe Bay tower. The discontinuous data collection or grab sample project operated by FIU consists of 149 stations, of which 100 are sampled monthly and the 49 that are located along five transects in the Gulf of Mexico are sampled quarterly. These 49 sites change slightly each trip, but are sampled along the same transect each time. Because of the slight change in location each trip, the station name changes each time. All of the sites are monitored for a variety of physical, chemical, and biological parameters to characterize water quality.

The SFWMD jurisdiction encompasses a 40 mile stretch of the lagoon from Jupiter Inlet to the northern boundary of St. Lucie County. The water quality monitoring program was established to provide a water quality data base for; 1.Documenting known problem areas within the lagoon system, especially those that are located near urban areas and point source discharges 2.Locating and reviewing existing stations monitored by state, regional and local environmental groups 3.Locating and establishing monitoring stations in the lagoon and it s tributaries not currently being monitored 4.Determining parameters that will best evaluate the water quality of the lagoon 5.Establishing water quality assurance requirements for the field and laboratory 6.Documenting long term trends within the lagoon, especially in areas where good biological or water quality conditions currently exist. This is a SWIM program that began in October, 1988. The collection and analysis of the samples were contracted out during the first two years of the study. In October 1990, the collection and analysis of the samples within the SFWMD boundaries were taken over by the SFWMD. The data collected can indicate any changes in water quality, and allow for better management of the Indian River Lagoon for environmental enhancement, and prevention of any further degradation. ISTO Lake Istokpoga Pat Davis WQM kmullen 10-FEB-1988 The Lake Istokpoga water quality monitoring program encompasses the major inflow and outflow points to the lake as well as in-lake monitoring. The water quality monitoring program provides a water quality and nutrient loading data base for 1.Consolidating information from all previous publications to establish historical trends 2.Determining long and short term trends to identify potential problem areas of water quality degradation and nutrient loadings 3.Producing a nutrient budget for the lake 4.Note changes in water quality after herbicide treatments to the lake (Pre-treatment 1988, Post-treatment 1989 to present) and 5.Establishing acceptable nutrient loading limits using eutrophication models. Water quality monitoring began in February 1988. Nutrient loadings are calculated by combining nutrient concentrations with flow data obtained at the major inflow and outflow points to the lake. These data can indicate trends in water quality and allow for better management of the system to monitor for environmental enhancement or degradation. Values that deviate significantly from established criteria may signal a concern requiring immediate attention. IWRP ISOLATED WETLANDS RESTORATION (MC ARTHUR DAIRY) J.

L8RT L8 Reservoir Testing project Beth Kacvinsky WQM khanes 05-FEB-2004 09-JUL-2015 The reservoirs are used for storage of excess runoff from the L8 basin to reduce discharges from the basin to the C51 Canal and ultimately to tide. Discharges into the L8 Canal, excluding Lake Okeechobee and the L8 Reservoir at Palm Beach Aggregates, Inc. (PBA), include Indian Trail Improvement District (ITID), and Water Conservation Area 1 (WCA 1). The water discharged from ITID consists of the stormwater runoff from the 19,000-acre M1 Basin. The discharges from the WCA 1 are dependent on the operating criteria of the Distrcit structures S5AS, S5AE, and S5AW. The water stored can then be either discharged during the dry season for water supply for the City of West Palm Beach or for environmental purposes. During the wet season, the water can be discharged back into the L8 Canal between storm events, once the stage in the L8 canal has dropped to within normal operating range.

The District recognizes, however, that there are many uncertainties associated with development of the LFA: " it's productivity south of Orange County, " the extent and quality of 'fresher' water zones being targeted for water supply, " the extent of the high capacity Boulder Zone for RO brine disposal or potential water supply, " the degree of confinement between the LFA and the Upper Floridan Aquifer and overlying water-bodies the Districts are trying to protect, and " the extent to which the LFA currently receives recharge All of these things affect the suitability and sustainability of the LFA as a long-term water supply. Because of the recent economic downturn, management sees the next five years as a window of opportunity, in which we might work on addressing some of these uncertainties, before water supply availability becomes an acute problem in the region. This project was conceived in response to that. It lays out a plan for hydrogeologic reconnaissance addressing the uncertainties in LFA development to the maximum extent possible within the 5-year window. This will be a coordinated effort with Southwest and St Johns River water management districts.

In 2000, the Florida Legislature enacted the Lake Okeechobee Protection Act (LOPA) and the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Statute. The purpose of LOPA is to restore the ecological function and health of Lake Okeechobee. The LOPA and TMDL Statute expanded the Lake Okeechobee watershed boundary and required that the District will now be responsible for achieving phosphorus levels consistent with the new Lake Okeechobee TMDL at all of its facilities discharging into or from the lake, and to do so by 2015. LOWAMN was established in September 2003 to satisfy requirements of the LOPA for the Lake Okeechobee Watershed.

Data have been collected since 1980. Initially only a few stations were collected for a narrow range of pesticides. The routine network was significantly expanded in 1984 and again in 1988, to form the framework of the current monitoring program. These data can indicate trends in the changes in water quality and allow for better management of the system. The presence of any detectable amount of pesticide may be of environmental concern, and is being documented to establish baseline levels, and to initiate follow up action by the appropriate state or federal agency. The analyses are done contractually with FDEP laboratory in Tallahassee. PG Upper East Coast Groundwater D. ALLMAN GW 18-MAY-1976 20-OCT-1977 PGS St. Lucie Core Samples P.

PSRP Picayune Strand Restoration Project Janet Starnes WQM khanes 27-AUG-2015 This project involves the restoration of natural water flow across 85 square miles in western Collier County that were drained in the early 1960s in anticipation of extensive residential development. This subsequent development dramatically altered the natural landscape, changing a healthy wetland ecosystem into a distressed environment. Wetlands will be restored in Picayune Strand (Southern Golden Gate Estates) and in adjacent public lands by reducing over-drainage, while restoring a natural and beneficial sheetflow of water to the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The refined project includes 83 miles of canal plugs, 227 miles of road removal, and the addition of pump stations (3) and spreader swales to aid in rehydration of the wetlands. Protection levees are planned for adjacent private properties impacted by the project along with maintenance of flood protection for the Northern Golden Gate Estates residential area. The project significantly increases the size and improves major wetland ecosystems in adjacent lands including the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, and Collier Seminole State Park; benefiting threatened and endangered species such as the Florida panther and the red cockaded woodpecker. Water quality and large salinity fluctuation, caused by freshwater flowing from the Faka-Union Canal into the estuaries, will also be improved. In addition, the project provides public access and recreational opportunities.

From 1974 to 1987 bulk rain collectors were used to collect rain water samples. In 1987 the District switched to Aerochem Wet/Dry precipitation collectors, and in March of 1992, based on recommendations from the USGS, the District changed its protocol for the Wet/Dry precipitation collectors to that used by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP). The rain program was established to provide a water quality data base for 1.Determining nutrient concentrations in wet and dry atmospheric deposition 2.Determining nutrient loading rates 3.Refine trend analysis and 4.Determining spatial variability. 5.Permit compliance for the ENR project.

RFGW Regional Floridan Groundwater Monitoring Emily Richardson WQM khanes 07-JUN-2004 The purpose of the Regional Floridan Groundwater (RFGW) monitoring network is to evaluate water quality and water level trends in the Floridan aquifer system (FAS) for water supply planning and to assist in development of groundwater models within the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD or District) and Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI) boundaries. Water supply planners use RFGW monitoring data and groundwater models to determine the long-term viability of the FAS as a water supply source and to track the impacts of increasing water use. In addition, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 2015) recently used RFGW data to model aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) options as part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). The FAS is composed of three aquifers: Upper Floridan aquifer (UFA), Avon Park Permeable Zone (APPZ), and Lower Floridan aquifer (LFA)?that are utilized throughout the District as primary or alternative water sources for public water supply, agriculture, industrial uses, and ASR. There are 58 monitoring wells completed in the UFA, 22 monitoring wells completed in the APPZ and 25 monitoring wells completed in the LFA. Their locations are presented by aquifer in Figures 1 (UFA), Figure 2 (APPZ) and Figure 3 (LFA). As central and southern Florida's population and water demands grow, use of the UFA, APPZ and LFA are projected to increase significantly. Increased use of the FAS will cause water levels to change (through withdrawal and injection), which can impact water quality. The justification for the need for the subject monitoring for each water supply planning region is provided below: a. The population in the CFWI planning area is projected to increase by 49 percent between 2010 and 2035, and a corresponding water supply deficit of 250 million gallons per day has been predicted as stated in the CFWI Regional Water Supply Plan (November 2015). Within the SFWMD's portion of the CFWI planning area, UFA groundwater levels are expected to drop between 1 and 10 feet over the same 25-year planning horizon. The 2015 CFWI Regional Water Supply Plan concluded that traditional groundwater resources alone cannot meet projected future demands or current permit allocations without resulting in unacceptable impacts to water resources and related natural systems. b. The 2017 Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan Update (SFWMD, 2017) noted that almost all utilities that withdraw from the UFA have seen degradation in water quality. An additional 51.5 million gallons per day (mgd) of brackish water development has been proposed by utilities in the region over the planning horizon to 2040. This water will be treated using reverse osmosis (RO). The Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan Update recommended identifying FAS monitoring well locations that are critical to long-term monitoring for modeling purposes and continuity of the data set. c. The 2016 Upper East Coast Water Supply Plan Update (SFWMD, 2016) included results from the East Coast Floridan Model, highlighting an expected 10 to 25 percent increase in total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations in some wells by 2040. d. The Lower East Coast planning area relies on the UFA as an alternative water source. Given the projected increase in population to 7.5 million people by 2040, the Lower East Coast planning area is anticipated to expand use of the UFA through reverse osmosis treatment and ASR projects. The 2018 Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update (SFWMD, 2018) calls for continued long-term water quality and water level data collection and analyses, which will also be used to update the East Coast Floridan Model, which was used to evaluate the FAS as an alternative water supply source. e. The 2014 Lower Kissimmee Basin Water Supply Plan Update (SFWMD, 2014) discusses concerns about the sustainability of the FAS and calls for continued monitoring of water levels and water quality in the region. ROME Rolling Meadows Wetland Restoration Water Quality Danielle Tharin WQM kmullen 01-DEC-2010 The goals of this restoration project are to restore the hydrology of the property as close to historically possible by reconnecting Lake Hatchineha, expanding the lake littoral zone and habitat, and increasing water volume and flow to the Kissimmee River. A second phase is planned to restore the alignment and flow swath of Catfish Creek. Since there are no baseline water quality data available, this project will provide the needed data to assess any contamination concerns on the property, baseline nutrient and other parameters from Catfish Creek, general water quality conditions onsite, and water quality of flows to Lake Hatchineha. ROOK Monitoring Stations in Rookery Bay Steve Kelly WQM wpdavis 26-JAN-1999 Project Description: Project ROOK represents an integrated surface water quality monitoring network (WQMN) for the estuarine and coastal ecosystems of Lee and Collier counties in southwest Florida. The study area extends northward from Cape Romano to Pine Island Sound. The overall purpose of this WQMN is to address concerns in regional water quality that cross and overlap separate political boundaries. This network consists of 28 sites to be sampled monthly by FIU for a variety of physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters. The data collected from this program will be incorporated and integrated into the existing reporting procedure for the south Florida estuarine WQMN. This will include quarterly progress reports and annual interpretive data summary reports submitted to the District in both a written and digital form. Quarterly reports will 1) identify activities undertaken during the reporting period, 2) state any problems encountered, 3) attest to the validity of the data, 4) include all quality assurance statistics and reports (i.e. the results of field blanks, equipment blanks and precision as percent relative standard deviation), and 5) briefly summarize quarterly water quality conditions in the network. Additionally, FIU will produce a statistical summary of the quarterly data in a logical format based on the segmentation scheme and station design. The statistical summary will include calculated averages, sample variances, ranges, and number of samples. When appropriate, summaries will also be provided in a graphical format. FIU will evaluate the data in accordance with the data quality objectives stated in the QAPP.

The first increment of the Field Test will evaluate the raising of the G-3273 constraint of 6.8 feet NGVD and holding the L-29 Canal stage at 7.5 feet to enable increased water deliveries to ENP. The second increment will evaluate raising the L-29 Canal stage constraint. The final increment will incorporate information learned from the first two increments and will involve modeling to develop the final operating plan. SFWMD was an active participant in the interagency development of the USACE Field Test Operational Strategy and Monitoring Plan as an agency in the USACE Project Delivery Team (PDT). The Operational Strategy and Monitoring Plan are part of the USACE Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (EA / FONSI) signed in May 2015. SFWMD will conduct water quality, hydrologic, and ecological monitoring, throughout the first two increments of the Field Test. SFWMD will support development of the final operating plan by developing and applying regional hydrologic simulations of alternative operational plans during Increments 2 and 3.

It supports a variety of commercial and recreational activities, and provides an important habitat for many aquatic organisms. This estuary is located at the east end of the Okeechobee Waterway which crosses south central Florida. It also acts as a navigational channel and outlet for discharges of excess fresh water from Lake Okeechobee and the St. Lucie canal basin. The St. Lucie Estuary surface water monitoring program is part of a Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program that began in 1989. The areas of interest are the St. Lucie Inlet and both the north and south forks of the St. Lucie River. The water quality monitoring program provides a water quality data base for 1.Documenting problem areas within the St. Lucie Estuary system, and especially those that may be related to point source discharges 2.Locating and reviewing any existing stations and data that might exist and comparing the data 3.Locating and establishing monitoring stations in the estuary not currently being monitored 4.Determining parameters that will best evaluate the water quality of the estuary 5.Documenting long term trends within the estuary, especially in areas where good biological or water quality data currently exists. The SE project began in October 1989. The collection and analysis of the samples were contracted to a private firm during the first year of the study. In October 1990 the collection and analysis of the samples was taken over by the SFWMD. The data can indicate changes in water quality and allow for better management of the estuary for environmental enhancement and prevention of any further degradation. SEAA Everglades Agricultural Area Split Sample Audit Program Brandon Moody 18-FEB-1994 Chapter 40E-63, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), requires each permittee/landowner in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) to implement a water quality monitoring plan that provides reasonable assurance that the annual water discharge and total phosphorus (TP) load are accurately documented, as described in subsections 40E-63.136(2) and 40E-63.156(1), F.A.C. The Quality Assurance (QA) Field Sampling Audit program includes audits of organizations collecting samples to check adherence to their respective Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) approved Comprehensive Assurance Plans, and to ensure that correct and consistent field sampling procedures are followed between water quality monitoring sites, as described in DEP-SOP-001/01, FS 2100). In addition to observing the field sampling procedures, an assessment of the quality of the analytical work is also completed by collecting split samples. One sample is submitted to the permittee's laboratory and the other sample is submitted to the SFWMD laboratory. The samples are analyzed for TP and the results are compared. SEGW ST.

The St. Lucie Productivity Study included the collection of water quality data focused on nutrient cycling processes and phytoplankton primary productivity in the SLE during 2000 and 2001. Primary productivity was measured at 4 sites (two stations per site) representing four different regions of the estuary over a period of 15 months, and benthic fluxes of nutrients measured at the four stations over 12 months. A suite of water quality constituents?including nutrients and field parameters?were measured at various depths at all eight stations. Zooplankton were also sampled. All project contacts (co-workers, contractors, interns, labs, etc.): o Nutrient and other water quality samples analyzed by District Lab o Benthic Flux Measurements Conducted by Dennis Hanisak, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (Contract C6627) o Data Analyzed by Malcolm Pirnie: Two Reports produced. One focused on primary productivity the other on a nutrient budget Other Related Project Information: o The four sites were sampled monthly. o Two of the four (Blue Marlin and HR1) were sampled intensively, on a weekly basis from 8/21/00 to 10/09/00 and 01/22/02 ? 03/05/01 o Also note that the benthic flux data produced in this study ranked amongst the highest ever reported. For this reason we felt the data were suspect. Dissolved oxygen data was collected during the benthic chamber incubations and a simple calculation of the DO consumption/Nutrient regeneration rates would have allowed us to verify the reliability of the data. Unfortunately, we had not written into the contract that the contractor provide us with the DO data. We assumed that he would. We were wrong, so consider the benthic flux data from this project to be spurious.

STA6 Stormwater Treatment Area 6 Joseph Jean-Jacques WQM jjean 02-APR-1997 Stormwater Treatment Area 6 (STA-6) is located in Hendry County just north of the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation. It was the first of the six Stormwater Treatment Areas required by the Everglades Forever Act. STA-6 Section 1 was designed to provide a total effective treatment area of approximately 1.4 square miles (3.5 km2), serving a drainage basin of approximately 16 square miles (km2) of agricultural production area primarily used to grow sugar cane. STA-6 began full operation on December 9,1997. It occupies an existing detention area associated with the United States Sugar Corporation (USSC) Southern Division Ranch. The source of water for STA-6 comes solely from the USSC Unit 2-pump station G600. The water quality data obtained under this program will be used to: 1. Evaluate water quality status and trends; 2. Assess compliance with federal and state water quality statutes, the Everglades Forever Act; and the Everglades Settlement Agreement; 3. Aid in the translation of narratives to numerical water quality criteria to quantify the tons of nutrient removed by the STA annually. 4. Guide mid and long term resource management decision making to augment the nutrient removal capability of the STA to assist restoration of the ecological function of the Everglades. The inflow site G600 and the two discharge monitoring sites, G354C & G393B, have water quality samples collected weekly. The sampling of inflows and outflows are also done under the project names ST6M for mercury in water, ST6F for mercury in fish and ST6D for mercury in sediments. Pesticides are collected under the STA6 project code. STAD Standard Addition L. Teets WC 26-MAR-1985 24-SEP-1992 STCK Check Standards L.

This program has two components: 1) continuous data collection from fixed stations by ENP and 2) discontinuous grab sample data collection by FIU. The ENP continuous data collection project includes three elements: 1) the marine monitoring network (MMN) 2) the C-111 and Joe Bay network; and 3) the telemetric data network. The MMN, maintains and collects continuous physical-chemical data from 28 fixed stations within the Park. As ENP expands the MMN network on the Gulf Coast will be reported. The second element consists of continuous data collection from the Joe Bay meteorological tower and four C-111 stations in Manatee Bay and Barnes Sound, which are jointly operated and maintained by the ENP and the District. The third element consists of data that are telemetered daily from 15 MMN sites and the Joe Bay tower. The discontinuous data collection or grab sample project operated by FIU consists of 149 stations, of which 100 are sampled monthly and the 49 that are located along five transects in the Gulf of Mexico are sampled quarterly. These 49 sites change slightly each trip, but are sampled along the same transect each time. Because of the slight change in location each trip, the station name changes each time. All of the sites are monitored for a variety of physical, chemical, and biological parameters to characterize water quality. TAMB Tamiami Canal Culverts - Surface Water Robert Stickler WQM prawlik 02-OCT-1996 27-SEP-2007 The Water Conservation Area (WCA) Inflows and Outflows, and the Tamiami Bridge Culverts water quality monitoring programs encompasses an area of over 1,300 square miles of Everglades marsh that receive waters from a variety of land uses, such as; agricultural, native and improved pastures, and urban and rural communities. The water quality monitoring program provides a water quality and nutrient loading data base for, 1.Complying with monitoring requirements of the Everglades National Park (TENP) Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the National Park Service, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD or District), and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (COE) 2.Implementing the Lake Okeechobee Technical Advisory Committee s (LOTAC) s recommendation for a comprehensive monitoring and research plan as described in the Department of Environmental Protection s Lake Okeechobee Monitoring and Research Plan 3.Determining long and short term trends necessary to identify the downstream impacts of LOTAC's Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) implementation plan for the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) and 4.Determining effectiveness of the implementation of basin management plans in reducing nutrient loadings to the WCA. Water quality data are also used to establish nutrient budgets for the WCA. Monitoring of nutrients and other water quality parameters is important in the quantification of the effect of inflows on the ecology of the marsh. With the implementation of the SWIM Act, the data collected will be instrumental in evaluating downstream impacts of the Interim Action Plan and other possible management alternatives for the EAA. These data can indicate trends in the changes in water quality, allow for better management of the system, and monitor for environmental enhancement or degradation. Values that deviate significantly from established criteria may signal a concern requiring immediate attention. TANT QUARTERLY WASTE WATER TREATMENT IN OKEETANTEE M.

The basin is located primarily in southeast and central Okeechobee County and parts of Martin County. A water quality monitoring network has been sampled by SFWMD since 1979. This program was initiated as a means of identifying trends and quantifying changes in water quality due to changes in land use and/or implementation of BMPs on beef cattle ranches and dairy farms in the basin. This program is jointly funded by the state/federal Taylor Creek Headwaters/Rural Clean Waters Program. The program is part of the District s Lake Okeechobee Operating Permit, granted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. It was recommended by the Kissimmee River Resource Planning Management (380), and the Lake Okeechobee Technical Advisory Committee to; identify trouble spots, inform individual landowners of the impacts of implementing BMPs to improve water quality, and to provide the state and federal agencies responsible for administering cost-share programs, a method of measuring the cost-effectiveness. The District intensified the monitoring effort in fiscal year 87/88, by approximately doubling the number of sampling sites. In fiscal year 91/92, the network design was again modified to provide more intensive and comprehensive monitoring.

An inflow pump station, S-382, lifts water from Ten Mile Creek on the north side of the WPA and delivers it into the Reservoir Cell via three diesel powered pumps with a total capacity of 380 cfs. Gated culvert S-383 and two small auxiliary pumps (40 cfs total) move water from the reservoir into the polishing cell. Gated culvert S-384 discharges water from the Ten Mile Creek polishing cell into Canal 96, which connects to Ten Mile Creek immediately downstream of the Gordy Road control structure. Seepage is contained and directed to Ten Mile Creek via Canals 93, 95, 96 and 101, operated by the North St. Lucie River Water Control District. The purpose of the project is to provide seasonal temporary storage of peak stormwater flows from the Ten Mile Creek basin and to slowly release those flows back into the creek to moderate the salinity levels and reduce sediment loads in the downstream St. Lucie River and Estuary. Water quality monitoring will be conducted to assess long term trends and impacts on water quality being discharged from the project area. Flow will be monitored to document timing and quantity of flow into the project and discharges back into Ten Mile Creek. This Compliance Monitoring Plan serves as a reference for surface water quality monitoring for the TMC in accordance with CERPRA Permit No. 0192879-017-GL. The guidance contained in this document will assist in maintaining consistency in sampling locations, parameter lists and frequencies as well as providing documentation of the project scope and an ongoing historical perspective. Modifications to this sampling may be requested in response to any future design changes, and/or changes to project objectives. Monitoring reductions may also be requested to stations, frequencies, and/or analytes if monitoring demonstrates that specific parameters are not present or if found consistently in compliance with regulatory standards. This plan will be reviewed and/or modified as needed to reflect necessary changes. At a minimum, this plan will be reviewed when the permit is renewed.

TOP Lake Okeechobee Dissolved Oxygen Study Guy Germain WC TREE TREE ISLAND PROJECT IN WCA-3A AND 3B Carlos Coronado mali 03-APR-2000 25-FEB-2009 Tree islands are tear-shaped topographic features in the relatively flat, low-lying landscape of southern Florida. Tree islands are only slightly (a few feet) elevated above the surrounding wetland, but are an important habitat for plants and animals. Tree islands are sensitive to changes in their hydrologic conditions; hence, a better understanding of the factors affecting the hydrology of tree islands is needed in the efforts to protect and restore the Everglades. In 2000, South Florida Water Management District began monitoring meteorological data and groundwater and surface-water levels at selected tree islands as part of a 5-year, multidisciplinary study conducted in cooperation with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Florida Center for Environmental Studies, the U.S. Geological Survey, and several universities. The three selected tree islands 3AN1, 3AS3, and 3BS1 are all located in Water Conservation Area 3. A total of four well pairs were installed at each of the three tree islands. Well pairs, consisting of a shallow piezometer (depths from 4.1 to 15 ft below land surface) and a deep groundwater well (depths from 25 ? 49.6 ft below land surface), were installed just northwest, northeast, and south of each island. A well pair also was installed within each island. A stilling well was installed at one well pair at each of the three islands to monitor surface-water stage. A meteorological station also was established at tree island 3AS3. TSE Tree Stress Experiment I.

Hydrological Research Sue Newman WM 12-APR-2002 11-AUG-2005 Interactive effects of seed availability, water depth, and phosphorus enrichment on cattail colonization in an Everglades wetland. The relative importance of seed availability, water depth, and soil phosphorus (P) concentrations on cattail (Typha domingensis pers.) early establishment in an Everglades wetland area was examined using seed bank analysis and controlled experiments. The experiments measured seed germination and seedling growth in tanks with cattail seed addition subjected to two P concentrations (un-enriched vs. enriched) and water depth (saturated vs. flooded soils). A limited seed bank (223 ? 69m2) of cattail was found in the surface soil ofthe area studied. The germination of added seeds was inhibited under flooded conditions, and only 0.6% of the germination was found. In contrast,under-saturated soil conditions, a maximum of 6% and 15% germination was observed in P-un-enriched and P-enriched treatments, respectively. High mortality of seedlings occurred regardless of P treatments following a cold spell. However, P enrichment resulted in increased seedling growth and asexual propagation. These results suggested the importance of the concurrence of appropriate hydrologic regimes, P enrichment, and air temperature on the recruitment of plant species.
