Mercury in fish monitoring at Stormwater Treatment Area 1 East (STA-1E) is part of the Everglades Construction Project (ECP). The construction, operation and maintenance of the ECP is required by the Everglades Forever Act to restore the Everglades ecosystem. STA-1E mercury in fish monitoring began in 2005. Stations for this project are permitted under the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Everglades Forever Act (EFA) permit number 0279499-011-EM, which dictates the locations and frequencies of monitoring to be performed and the parameters to be analyzed. The water quality data obtained under this program will be used to: evaluate water quality status and trends; assess compliance with federal and state water quality statutes; and guide mid and long term resource management decisions for the STA. |
