Status Update on Future Water Quality Strategies for the Refuge Kenneth G. Ammon, P.E., Deputy Executive Director, Everglades Restoration and Capital Projects

2 Background  State and Federal parties involved in the Consent Decree (Settling Parties) have agreed to work cooperatively to identify additional strategies necessary to achieve applicable water quality requirements  If the Settling Parties, after consultation with stakeholders, reach agreement regarding additional remedies and timetables, they will prepare a joint motion to modify the Decree accordingly

3 Recent Legal History  Phosphorus exceedances in LNWR occurred in November 2008 and June 2009  10/15/09 - Miccosukee Tribe of Indians files Motion Seeking Declaration of Violations  11/13/09 - State parties file response to Miccosukee Motion asking the court to hold Tribe’s motion in abeyance for a reasonable period of time to allow Settling Parties to pursue negotiations regarding remedies and update Court on their progress

4 Recent Legal History (continued)  12/23/09- Federal parties file Conditional Motion supporting State’s request to hold in abeyance to pursue negotiations and update court on progress  2/1/10- State parties file a status report with the court regarding ongoing negotiations to identify additional remedies and timetables  2/2/10- Federal parties file concurrence with State’s status report  2/18/10- Miccosukee Tribe files response and objections to State parties’ Status Report

5 Background  State and Federal parties have focused discussions on additional phosphorus reduction measures necessary to limit discharges to the Refuge to a 17 ppb maximum annual flow- weighted mean  Various strategies for achieving the 17 ppb goal will be evaluated, including source controls, expansion of STAs, storage, and diversion  Combinations of sub-basin, basin, and regional scale projects will be considered

6 Conceptual Plan  Based upon results of on-going technical evaluations, a Conceptual Plan will be developed containing specific combination of projects identified as necessary to achieve 17 ppb goal Evaluation will consider effectiveness, reliability, economics, and timeframe for implementation  Conceptual Plan will also include project costs, land acquisition requirements, proposed funding mechanisms, and anticipated implementation schedules  Timeframe for Conceptual Plan development is 8-10 months

7 Technical Approach  In order to expedite plan development, both basin and regional scale evaluations have been initiated and will proceed in parallel Basin Scale S-5A Basin Assessment and Evaluation C-51W and L-8 Basin Assessment and Evaluation Regional Scale STA expansion, storage, diversion, operational and other regional strategies  Upon completion of basin and regional scale evaluations, information from these efforts will be combined to develop alternatives

8 S-5A Basin Assessment and Evaluation  Assess existing water quality, soil and other data within the S-5A Basin and East Beach Water Control District and identify phosphorus sources  Evaluate phosphorus reduction potential of various phosphorus abatement measures at farm and sub-basin scale Examples - treatment technologies, retention/recycling, sediment controls  Develop cost estimates and evaluate cost effectiveness of the measures  Stakeholder meetings

9 C-51W and L-8 Basin Assessment and Evaluation  Assess existing water quality, soil and other data within the C-51W and L-8 Basins and identify phosphorus sources  Identify and evaluate potential phosphorus abatement measures  Recommend potential phosphorus abatement measures for implementation  Stakeholder meetings

10 Regional Evaluation  Identify key assumptions and develop datasets  Set up screening and modeling tools  Conduct screening level analysis of various regional scale measures/scenarios  Based on results of screening level analysis, conduct detailed analysis (using hydrologic models and DMSTA)  Develop preliminary cost estimates of screening level scenarios

11 Formulating and Finalizing Draft Conceptual Plan  Upon completion of the S-5A, C-51W, and preliminary Regional projects evaluations, information from these efforts will be combined to develop and evaluate alternatives Assessment of performance, uncertainty and cost effectiveness for each alternative  Utilize results of evaluation, to identify a preferred alternative/final array of projects Prepare document summarizing list of projects/remedies, cost estimates, schedules and other associated details

12 Schedule for Technical Evaluation and Plan Development  S-5A Basin Assessment and Evaluation - Feb-Aug  C-51W Basin Assessment and Evaluation - Mar-Aug  Regional Evaluation - Feb-Aug  Formulate Draft Conceptual Plan - Aug-Oct  Finalize Draft Conceptual Plan - Oct-Dec

13 Status Updates  Status updates and opportunities to provide input and comments will be provided throughout the process to: Senior Leadership of the Settling Parties SFWMD Governing Board Water Resources Advisory Commission Technical Oversight Committee The Court and parties to the USA v. SFWMD lawsuit Other Stakeholders

Finalizing Conceptual Plan and Preparing Joint Motion  If agreement can be reached regarding the conceptual plan and associated issues, then a joint motion to amend the Decree will be prepared for submittal to the court  Conceptual plan, joint motion, and any associated remedies and commitments will require review and approval by appropriate agency heads prior to finalization or submittal to court Specifically, SFWMD Governing Board and FDEP Secretary will need to authorize any additional commitments/remedies on the part of the State 14
