Everglades Protection Area Tributary Basins Long-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals Everglades Protection Area Tributary Basins Long-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals Long-Term Plan Update 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.

Everglades Protection Area Tributary Basins Long-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals Everglades Protection Area Tributary Basins Long-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals The Broward Everglades 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.

Everglades Protection Area Tributary Basins Long-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals Everglades Protection Area Tributary Basins Long-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals BEWG Accomplishments 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).
