PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The Department Grant Manager will review the photographs and certification of completion for all components by the Grantee's project certified engineer to verify that construction has been completed for all components in accordance with the approved plans. TASK NUMBER:4 TASK NAME: Public Education TASK DESCRIPTION: This task includes public presentations and construction of a nature trail with informational signs explaining the environmental benefits of the ATS system and methods for reducing nutrient loading into the receiving waters of the state. There is a video currently available for viewing at the dedicated stormwater educational website (www.irestonnwater.com) that describes nutrient removal projects the county has implemented to date, as well as an introduction to the PC South project. Walking trails and signage will be constructed, civic forums will be ongoing. An updated water quality improvement informational video will be produced to include the ATS Facility,to be broadcast on the IRC county public television station and couty's stormwater educational website. ALLOWABLE COSTS: Estimated cost of$54,000.00 for walking trail,signs and informational/educational video. All costs in this task are additional expenditures to be made by the Grantee,not required match. DELIVERABLES: Text and final draft video in electronic format for the website will be submitted to the DEP Grant Manager for prior approval before airing and distribution. Submission of CD's with the final Public Services Announcements released to the public with information on when they were aired. Link to the Indian River County website with information on updates made for the project. Dated photographs of the installed walking trails and signage,dates/sign-in sheets for when the civic forums are held. PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The DEP Grant Manager will review the draft and final deliverables to verify compliance with the Agreement's terms and conditions, the TMDL grant requirements and the Department's policies on public education,and will review evidence of the number of contacts made with the public through each component of the outreach task. TASK NUMBER: 5 TASK NAME:Monitoring TASK DESCRIPTION: The Grantee must complete and submit to the Department a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP)for monitoring prior to commencement of any monitoring. The monitoring plan will specify the sampling locations, sampling instruments, and parameters to be sampled. The parameters shall include, but are not limited to: TN (lbs/yr), TP (lbs/yr), TSS (lbs/yr), Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, NO2/NO3, TKN,NH3, Orthophosphate, Fecal coliform, rainfall and flow. Because the flow through the system is continuous, discrete sampling during rainfall events is meaningless. The flow will be monitored on a timed composite sampling basis during the one-year monitoring period. Monitoring is to be performed at inflow and outflow locations of each BMPs installed and in accordance with the approved QAPP. Sampling locations shall be recorded and verified using a GPS device. Project-specific details must be added during QAPP development. Harvested material shall be weighed wet with each harvest, either directly or by determining wet density and volume. Three (3) composite samples shall be analyzed for percent moisture, and these composited on a monthly basis for analysis for phosphorus,nitrogen,carbon,and ash. ALLOWABLE COSTS: The estimated contractual costs for the collection and lab analysis of monitoring events results is $200,000. All costs in this task are additional expenditures to be made by the Grantee,not required match. DELIVERABLES: Department approved QAPP and submission of monitoring results. Discussion of analysis of monitoring results and the pollutant load reductions from each applicable BMP either as a stand-alone Final Efficiency Evaluation Monitoring Report or as part of the Final Project Report. PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The Department Grant Manager will review the QAPP for compliance with this Agreement and DEP Standard Operating Procedures for monitoring; submission of approved QAPP; and submission of monitoring results. Review of Final Efficiency Evaluation Monitoring Report(or equivalent description in the Final Project Report)to verify that monitoring was completed in accordance with the approved QAPP and the results were analyzed and discussed regarding removal efficiency. TASK NUMBER:6 TASK NAME:Draft and Final Report TASK DESCRIPTION: The Grantee must complete and submit to the Department a Final Report, The Final Report is intended to capture the outcome and results of the selected project, including all tasks included in this project. It shall include, at least,the following: a summary of monitoring results and an explanation of any unexpected monitoring results or unexpected occurrences. This shall include, where applicable, why a BMP did not obtain or exceeded the expected removal efficiency; any problems encountered and how those problems were overcome;an explanation of any project delays; a brief DEP Agreement No.G0353,Attachment A-1,Page 7 of 14 139
