ATTACHMENT A-] REVISED GRANT WORK PLAN PROJECT NAME: PC South Algal Nutrient Removal Facility PROJECT FUNDING: $850,000 from 31912;$1,376,900 from TMDL grant=$2,226,900 REQUIRED MATCH: $1,440,853.40 for 31912;$4,049,947 for TMDL grant=$5,490,800.40 OTHER ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES/NOT REQUIRED MATCH: $1,833,868 TOTAL PROJECT COST: $9,551,568.40 LEAD ORGANIZATION: Indian River County COOPERATING PARTNERS: State of Florida—DEP Agreement No. LP31010($250,000 for pilot study&pilot construction,not identified in project costs in this Agreement), SJRWMD Cost-share agreement No. 27199($55,795 for initial design,not identified in project costs in this Agreement) PROJECT LOCATION AND WATERSHED CHARACTERISTICS: Geographic Location: Vero Beach; Indian River County Impacted Watershed Name: Indian River Farms Water Control District South Relief Canal Drainage Basin Size of Project Impact: The Algal Nutrient Removal Facility (ANRF) will be approximately 4.5 acres with associated peripheral facilities requiring approximately another six (6) acres. The developed site will be approximately ten(10)acres. The total site property is approximately 12.81 acres. Size of Drainage Area: 17,163 acres Latitude: 27.592522 Longitude: 80.398530 Hydrologic Unit Code: 03080203 Impaired waterbody affected: Indian River Lagoon(IRL Central B Project Zone), WBID: 5003B,TMDL adopted for Nutrients(TN and TP) Impairment: The health of the Indian River Lagoon's seagrass,is the benchmark for measuring the progress of the TMDL process. Healthy seagrass and increasing seagrass coverage is indicative of a health Lagoon. The project will dramatically reduce the amount of dissolved nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) entering the Indian River Lagoon (IRL)through the Indian River Farms Water Control District's(1RFWCD) South Relief Canal. Therefore, the project will dramatically reduce the potential for harmful algal blooms, including macroalgae such as Gracilaria sp., in the IRL that can be detrimental to seagrass and marine life. The project will also significantly reduce the amount of suspended solids and sediment that enter the IRL and it may also reduce to a lesser degree the color of the water. It will also increase the water's overall dissolved oxygen levels. Management of these parameters will benefit the IRL's seagrasses by reducing muck deposits, reducing settlement of sediment on seagrass leaves, improving oxygen availability,and increasing the penetration of light through the water column.
