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. Query returned 1 project record(s).
