This proposed monitoring is in response to Governing Board resolution number 2019 ? 0815, authorizing the Executive Director to negotiate and enter into an agreement with the coordinating agencies of the Northern Everglades and Estuaries Protection Program and the Blue Green Algae Task Force (BGATF) to implement an expanded monitoring network to support the Governor?s Executive Order 19-12. The network provides for scientific data representative of pollutant sources which will support progress by BGATF and FDEP to achieve TMDL?s under BMAPs. Data will be used to evaluate trends, identify water quality issues, measure potential impacts of activities to SFWMD projects/works, provide insight on selection of appropriate technologies/projects/solutions, and comply with Section 373, Florida Statutes, which declares that the governing board shall take into account cumulative impacts on water resources and manage those resources in a manner to ensure sustainability and to minimize degradation caused by discharge of stormwater. |
