2014 POLLUTION RECOVERY FUND GRANTS STATUS EPC Meeting October 16, 2014

PRF GRANT APPLICATION CYCLE Review Grant Process and Evaluate Funds Available Request for Applications Feb 1 – May 1 EPC Legal Review May EPC Criteria Reviews June - August CEAC Review July- August EPC Sr. Staff and CEAC develop recommendations August EPC Board Approves or Denies Recommendation October

6 Applications Received (Ranked list in agenda backup) 3 Recommended for Award by both EPC and CEAC Total PRF funds Requested for projects:$191,752 Total PRF funds Available for projects:$384,523* Total PRF funds for Recommended projects:$79, Total PRF funds Remaining for Future projects: $305, * As of 9/30/ POLLUTION RECOVERY FUND PROJECT SUMMARY

This project aims to create critical coastal wetland habitat that will restore essential fish and wildlife habitats, and aide in the improvement of water quality from pollution due to urban and agricultural runoff. Tampa Bay Watch will partner with schools in their Bay Grasses in Classes program (BGIC) to provide plants and student volunteers to plant salt marsh plugs at designated sites. The main goal for the Rock Ponds Wetland Restoration Project is to increase the abundance of a healthy native salt marsh and create a beneficial ecosystem for biodiversity. ROCK PONDS WETLAND RESTORATION PROJECT Funding Requested: $50, Applicant: Tampa Bay Watch, Inc. Project Manager: Martha Gruber

The purpose of this program is to collect and properly dispose of agricultural pesticides that cannot, or should no longer be used. Pesticides will be collected from farms throughout Hillsborough County. The collection will occur at the County contracted Hazardous Waste Collection Provider site. The PRF funds will only be used for collection and disposal at the County approved Hazardous Waste Collection provider. AGRICULTURE PESTICIDE COLLECTION AND EDUCATION DAY Funding Requested: $24, Applicant: Hillsborough County Economic Development & UF/IFAS Extension Service Project Manager: Simon Bollin

Project consists of two components. 1) Two workshops will be held designed to educate those who live, work and attend high school within the East Lake Watershed regarding ways to lessen human impacts on fresh water resources. 2) Abate the nutrient loading caused by water fowl at East Lake through the construction of floating islands with suspended aquatic plant roots to increase the absorption of harmful nutrients and fecal coliform in the water column. The installation of 120 feet by 4 feet in floating islands will reduce erosion to the existing Audubon rookery island from motor boats, filter harmful nutrients, provide additional shielding, habitat and food for the birds, provide natural shading and increased food for the fish, and improve the aesthetic appearance of the island. EAST LAKE WATERSHED EDUCATION AND ROOKERY RESTORATION PROJECT Funding Requested: $5, Applicant: East Lake Park Homeowners Project Manager: Hal Hart

RECOMMENDATION 1) Concurrence with EPC and CEAC to fund: Tampa Bay Watch - Rock Ponds Wetland Restoration Project for $50,000 Hillsborough County Economic Development and UF/IFAS Extension Service- Agriculture Pesticide Collection Day for $24, East Lake Park Homeowners - East Lake Watershed Education and Rookery Restoration Project for $5, ) Authorize the Chair, on a continuing basis, to execute the approved PRF agreements with the three grantees in substantially the same format as the form PRF Agreement drafted by the Legal Department. 3) Authorize the EPC Chair, after staff consultation, to execute future amendments that involve non-material changes or reasonable deadline extensions as may be necessary.
