COST*
FY 90-97
|
Water Quality:
Stormwater
Treatment Areas |
EAA RELATED PROJECTS Acquisition, design, and construction of
35,000acreas to treat
stormwater runoff from the EAA and reduce phosphorus entering
the EPA through S-5A, S-6, S-7, S-150, and S-8. |
$ 312 |
Monitoring:
STAs |
Monitoring inflows, outflows, water quality, hydrology, vegetation,
soils, and nutrients to determine effectiveness of STAs |
2.6 |
Monitoring:
EAA District Works |
Monitoring water quality and hydrology to identify sources that do
not meet load reduction goals; document problem areas to
support corrective efforts under the SWIM Rule; assess water
quality in primary canals to measure effectiveness of BMPs |
1.5 |
Research:
STAs |
Assess interior marsh cells of STA-1 and analyze STA
monitoring to optimize operation and management of STAs. |

$ 318 |
Hydroperiod:
Everglades
Requirements |
NON-EAA RELATED PROJECTS Develop and implement model to organize
information and
evaluate hydroperiod effects on ecosystem functions and provide
tools to analyze effects of waterresource management actions. |
$ 0.8 |
Hydroperiod:
C-111 Basin
Improvements |
Initiate removal of C-111 spoil mounds by widening gaps. Install
an additional pump and spreader canal to enhance water flows to
ENP through Taylor Slough and reduce flows through S-197. |
1.1 |
Water Quality:
LEC & Western Basin
Assessments |
Determine sources of phosphorus entering WCA-3A from Hendry
and Collier counties and develop control strategies. Examine
water quality in urban backpumping basins, and strategies for
backpumping other basins. |
0.4 |
Monitoring:
Everglades
Protection Area
|
Monitor hydrology, water quality, vegetation, soil and plant
nutrients, and ecological integrity of these ecosystems to determine
the effect of implementation projects and identify problem areas. |
5.5 |
Monitoring:
Estuarine
|
Document impacts of wter management system operation,
including rainfall driven plan, on estuaries. |
1.1 |
Research:
Everglades
Restoration Area |
Conduct research to: a) investigate mechanisms that cause
imbalances to flora and fauna. b)use models to assess
implementation programs c) numerical interpretation of Class III
standards d) develop and implement control progrmas and e)
identify sources, transport, and fate of mercury and develop
control strategies. |
3.5 |
Data Control: |
Conduct programs, develop and implement procedures to ensure
accurate data collection and analysis. |
0.4 |
Environ. Resources:
Melaleuca |
Five-point program using biological control, WCA initiates,
enhancement of existing programs and mechanical removal. |
5.3 |
Environ. Resources:
Holey Land
Assessment |
Evaluate effects of hydroperiod restoration on fish and wildlife
populations using a GIS system. Develop a model plan for
restoring other over-drained areas of the Everglades. |
0.6 |
Public Information
and Education |
Educate the public on the complex and competing relationships
within the Everglades system; increase awareness and
involment with District programs to protect the Everglades. |
