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 1999, 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 recommendations 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: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Water quality impacts associated with both stormwater and out dated septic systems threaten to permanently damage nearshore and offshore communities. In 1999 the Florida Legislature acknowledged this concern and provided funding towards the development of a County-wide Stormwater Management Master Plan which is scheduled for completion in early 2000. The funds requested here will be used to implement one or more recommendations from the Monroe County Stormwater Management Master Plan. The implementation could include construction of a stormwater management system, development of a new stormwater ordinance, retrofitting an existing system, etc., as determined under the master plan. |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Pursuant to the FKNMS Water Quality Protection Program Document, the effectiveness of stormwater/treatment facilities is not well known and is highly dependent on site conditions, engineering methods and level of maintenance. Estimated reductions in nutrient loading (percentage of total stormwater nutrients) are 0.2-0.5%, and estimated reductions in sediment loading are 0.5%-1.0%. (These percentages are Sanctuary-wide; pollution reduction in hot spots would be much greater). Loading of toxic materials (e.g., metals and hydrocarbons) has not been estimated and, therefore, the reductions cannot be quantified. However, stormwater control methods would reduce loading of toxic materials into Sanctuary water. |
