Project Description:
Pursuant to the FKNMS Water Quality Protection Program Document (1996), stormwater sources contribute about 21% of total wastewater/stormwater nitrogen and 44% of total wastewater/stormwater phosphorus loadings to Sanctuary waters. In 2999, the Florida Legislature acknowledged the impacts associated with stormwater discharges to nearshore communities in the Florida Keys and approved funding for the development of a stormwater master plan for the unincorporated portions of Monroe County, currently under development. This proposal would provide support for the implementation of the recommendatiosn of that plan, as well as, enable Islamorada, Village of Islands, to implement demonstration projects developed from a similar stormwater master plan.
Services Provided/Benefit to State:
The project is intended to provide a long-term, practical, effective and environmentally sound wastewater treatment system and will reduce the number of "hot spots" in the Village and provide momentum in subsequent steps to reduce pollutants that presently act, or will act, to deteriorate the water quality in the Florida Keys.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
The reduction of non-point source pollution to the nearshore waters of Florida Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, was well as increases the acres serviced by stormwater systems.
