WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN SUMMARY The Board reviewed a Memorandum of September 4, 1995: September 4, 1995 MEMO TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Fran Adams RE• St John's Water Management District Water Manangement Plan The Water Management Plan is a comprehensive management tool for St John's very much like our own CLUP is to us. The Plan gives a District overview including the history, surface and ground water resources, typical water uses, physical characteristics of the region, and a program overview of the SJWMD. The Plan discusses the water management goals, responsibilities i.e. ,mater supply, water duality, flood protection, and natural system management All 19 counties have an integrated plan identified to assess each water management goal above as it pertains to that county. IRC is on target and leading in many of the categories. We have done well in planning protection of our water resources. The Program Plan is then identified including the SWIM Program (which has contributed towards the clean-up of the Indian River Lagoon), water resources planning and research, regulation, land acquisition, restoration and public works, outreach, operation and maintenance of lands, and management The Regulation section which was the concern of the Commission at the last meeting discusses the permitting strategies both district -wide and location based: surface water, water well, water use, compliance, and rulemaking. Indian River County is mentioned with Brevard in all areas that refer to implementing the IRL SWIM plan projects regarding water sediment quality, regulation, and enforcement, public awareness, and administration, planning, and ordination targeting water quality problems. Over 50 workshops were held in 1993 and 1994 to identify water resource concerns addressed in the Plan. This Plan will direct water management needs for the ne)d 20 years for 19 counties, 117 local governments, and over 3.2 million residents. An annual evaluation is made to assess whether the District is meeting the schedules and tasks described in the DWMP. A 5 -year evaluation will be done to see if the acheivements are effective.
