Contract #34516 ATTACHMENT A - STATEMENT OF WORK MOORHEN MARSH LOW ENERGY AQUATIC PLANT SYSTEM PROJECT I. INTRODUCTIONBACKGROUND The St. Johns River Water Management District (District) is continuing its Cooperative Cost Share Initiative Program in Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2020 to develop and implement resource and water supply development projects and promote conservation. On April 9, 2019, the District's Governing Board approved funding for Cooperative Cost Share projects. Each project selected for funding will have a positive benefit to one or more of the District's core missions; including water supply, water quality, natural systems or flood mitigation. Indian River County (Recipient) requested funding for their Moorhen Marsh Low Energy Aquatic Plant System (LEAPS) project (Project) for the not to exceed amount of $1,500,000 towards the estimated construction cost of $8,705,000. This request was approved by the Governing Board. The Recipient is located in Indian River County. II. OBJECTIVES The objective of this contract is to provide cost share dollars that will enable the Recipient to provide a water quality benefit to the Indian River Lagoon by reducing the nutrient load approximately 7,614 lbs. total nitrogen and 1,251 lbs. total phosphorus a year. III. SCOPE OF WORK The project site is located in Vero Beach. The project includes the construction of a LEAPs (Low Energy Aquatic Plant System) facility. The facility will treat water from the Indian River Farms Water Control District's North Relief Canal by using aquatic plants to uptake nutrients from the canal water. The water lettuce scrubber system will be followed by an algal treatment unit for reoxygenation and additional nutrient polishing. A final settling and created wetland will provide additional detention time and further nutrient reduction. The water lettuce will be harvested and composted. The treated water will be returned to the North Relief Canal, which discharges to the Indian River Lagoon. IV.
