ae 8. Detailed project description l}. Please provide a description of the proposed project. Include address, section, township, range. Identify the basin or watershed in which the project will take place (A separate map attachment is acceptable and 3 copies are required). Does the project promote flood protection, demonstrate Best Management Practices (BMPs), or implement STORMWATER utilities. Is this a proposal for storm water design studies, STORMWATER master planning, or construction or implementation projects which include innovative enhancements or technology. Is the project already underway or still in planning stage? --1.0 points A. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT BETWEEN THE ONE MILE ATLANTIC COASTAL RIDGE AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 1-95 (TEN MILL: RIDGE) WITHIN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY LIES 7HE INDIAN RIVER FARMS WATER CONTROL DISTRICT (A FS CH. 299 DRAINAGE DISTRICT) WATERSHED AREA. THIS APPROXIMATE 50,000 ACRE WATERSHED INCLUDES ALMOST ALL OF TOWNSHIP 33 SOUTH, RANGE 39 EAST; SECTIONS 4 - 9. 15-22.27-35 IN TOWNSHIP 32 SOUTH, RANGE 39 EAST; AND SECTIONS 1-5, 9-16,22-27,34-36, IN TOWNSHIP 33 SOUTH, RANGE 30 EAST (SEE ATTACHED MAP LABELED EXHIBIT -A- AND "A-1"), THREE PRIMARY OUTFALLS, THE MAIN RELIEF CANAL, THE NORTH RELIEF CANAL, AND THE SOUTH RELIEF CANAL, DISCHARGE APPROXIMATELY 100 MILLION GALLONS OF RUNOFF OVER THE WATERSHED AREA DURING AN AVERAGE DAY. THE RUNOFF IS STORED OR ATTENUATED WITHIN THE 100 YEAR FLOOD -PLAIN BOUNDARY PRIOR TO THE OUTFALLS BEING ABLE TO DISCHARGE IT. FLOODING OCCURS WITHIN THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN AND IN LOCALIZED AREAS. OLDER DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE 50,000 ACRE WATERSHED PROVIDE MINIMAL OR NO WATER QUALITY TREATMENT. THE FRESHWATER RUNOFF DEGRADES THE QUALITY OF THE BRACKISH ESTUARINE ENVIRONMENT, INCREASE SUSPENDED SOLID LOADING IN SEAGRASS AREAS, AND POLLUTES THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON. THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A MASTER STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN COMPRISED Or RETENTIONIDETENTION PONDS CONNECTED TO THE INDIAN RIVER FARMS WATER CONTROL DISTRICT CANAL SYSTEM WHICH WILL REDUCE FLOODING AND REMOVE STORMWATER POLLUTANTS. PRELIMINARY MAPPING OF THE PROJECT HAS BEGUN. 2). Is the project proposed to meet NPDES requirements'? please explain how this project will do that. . 10 points THE NPDES STORMWATER PHASE 11 INTERIM RULE HAS LISTED INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AS A SMALL MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4) SINCE THIS WATERSHED AND OTHERS DISCHARGE INTO THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON, IN 2001, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY WILL BE REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOADING (TMDLs) FOR THIS AREA. THIS PROJECT WILL TREAT RUNOFF TO REMOVE POLLUTANTS, THEREBY ACHIEVING REDUCING POLLUTANT LOADING FOR THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON WATERSHED. THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON HAS BEEN DESIGNATED A SURFACE WATER OF CRITICAL STATE CONCERN AND THE PROJECT AREA HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE IRL-SWIM PLAN AND IRL-CCMP AS "PROBLEM AREAS" SUCH AS VERO BEACH.
