BASINS TRIBUTARY TO THE EVERGLADES




Introduction In general, the recommended strategy in the

Non-ECP basins is to rely upon source controls and full integration with CERP to achieve water quality standards.

In addition to the Non-ECP Permit requirements, Part 3 of the LTP (Pre-2006 Strategies, ESP Basins) defines supplemental strategies and approaches for water quality improvement in discharges from the Non-ECP Basins.

Source ControlsSource ControlsNon-ECP BasinsNon-ECP Basins

Source Controls Cooperative agreements - monitoring and

implementation of BMPs On-going and/or proposed local capital

improvement projects Non-structural BMPs:

New permit requirement and/or modification to address water quality concerns

Operational changes Public outreach - ESP Public Outreach Plan




Non-ECP strategies funded under LTP (FYs 04-06) Source controls

BMP development and implementation: C-11 West and VOW

BMP Grant program: Feeder Canal Additional analyses

Ensure no impacts to flood protection: NSID and NNRC

Water quality improvement measures: C-11 West



The Broward Everglades The Broward Everglades Working Group (BEWG)Working Group (BEWG)

Background - In response to a request from Broward County EPD, LTP recognizes that reduction of phosphorus through source controls (i.e., urban BMPs) is of highest priority to achieve compliance with the phosphorus criterion.

LTP Project Description - The SFWMD will assist Broward County in coordinating a county-wide working group to develop a comprehensive pollution prevention plan with specific water quality goals.



BEWGBEWGAccomplishmentsAccomplishments

Stakeholders participated in the identification of various pollution reduction options, with each agency determining where they could contribute.

Each party presented an overview of activities underway and to be undertaken in support of the Working Group’s objectives and Everglades Restoration.

Activities and commitments of each stakeholder group were compiled as part of C-11 West Basin Pollution Reduction Action Plan (April 2006 Final Report).

Maintain momentum through frequent updates with participants, assist partners with implementation, and revise strategy as necessary

Measure progress through water quality monitoring

Continue partnership between Broward County & SFWMD to develop pollution reduction action plans for the NSID and NNRC basins and to expand outreach and technical support
