It represents a <br />comprehensive set of strategies: permit limits on <br />wastewater facilities, urban and agricultural best <br />management practices, conservation programs, <br />financial assistance and revenue generating <br />activities, etc. designed to implement the <br />pollutant reductions established by the TM DL. <br />The Florida Department of Environmental <br />Protection has substantially increased the <br />required reduction goals for stakeholders within <br />the St. Lucie Estuary BMAP. These increases will <br />force the County to seek alternative projects that <br />provide for efficient nutrient reduction. <br />Support efforts in crediting new activities and <br />simplifying the process for existing activities to obtain <br />nutrient removal credits towards a Basin Management <br />Action Plans (BMAP). <br />Consider to allow the following activities to be as <br />reducing pollutant loadings to meet the allowable <br />loadings (TMDLs) in a BMAP. <br />Aquatic Vegetation Removal <br />Grassed Swale Material Removal <br />Dispersed Water Storage <br />Natural Land Storage <br />Support a reorganization of the Basin Management <br />Action Plan credit and project calculations to be <br />applied on a regional basis rather than on a county by <br />county impact. 178 <br />
