Indian River County, Florida #x�oA s MEMORANDUM �A Indian River County Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov File ID: 25-0900 Type: Consent Staff Report Meeting Date: 9/23/2025 TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THROUGH: JOHN A. TITKANICH, JR., COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR KRISTIN DANIELS, BUDGET DIRECTOR FROM: JENNIFER HYDE, PROCUREMENT MANAGER DATE: SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO PROCUREMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL BACKGROUND On August 19, 2025, the Board approved various changes to the Procurement Policies and Procedures Manual ("Manual"), to be effective on October 1, 2025, at the beginning of the new fiscal year. ANALYSIS Staff has identified two additional changes to the manual. First, the Budget Director's authority to approve unbudgeted capital purchases has historically equaled the amount of the Procurement Manager's authority, and any higher amounts require approval by the County Administrator. This authority has never been formally recorded in code or the Manual. Staff proposes to modify paragraph 2.4 Capital Item Purchases to add the following sentence: Requests for unbudgeted capital purchases up to $100,000 must be accompanied by the written approval of the Budget Director, and purchases over $100,000 the written approval of the County Administrator. The Information Systems and Technologies Department has agreed that existing IT procurement procedures are cumbersome to both the department and end users. Current procedures require IT to source, select, and request via requisition, every purchase, except for protective covers and cases. This can significantly delay the procurement process as IT gathers sufficient information to obtain quotes or identify appropriate products. Staff proposes to implement workflows and approved product lists to facilitate a more seamless process and allow end users to enter their own requisitions and obtain their own quotes, but with all purchases still ultimately approved by IT. Because these procedures and lists will change more frequently, the specific IT procurement process will be attached to the Manual as an attachment. The first three paragraphs of Section 10.1 of the Manual are deleted, and the fourth modified to read: Any item being installed on, or connected or plugged into, the County's computer or telephone network must be approved by the IT Department, to ensure compatibility and compliance with security protocols. Procedures for the procurement of various types of products are provided as an appendix to this manual. The fourth paragraph Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 powered g LegistarTTM remains unchanged. BUDGETARYIMPACT There is no additional cost associated with this request. PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS Most recent approval of modifications to the Manual occurred on August 19, 2025. POTENTIAL FUTURE BOARD ACTIONS Other improvements to the Manual, as identified.

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator Kristin Daniels, Director, Office of Management and Budget Jennifer Hyde, Procurement Manager FROM: Shelby Ball, Procurement Specialist DATE: September 3, 2025 SUBJECT: Approval of UniFirst Customer Service Agreement and Addendum BACKGROUND On October 18, 2022, the Board approved a Customer Service Agreement for uniform rental services with UniFirst. The effective term commenced On October 19, 2022, when installation was complete, and will expire on October 18, 2027. Staff has been satisfied with the service and uniforms provided by UniFirst but would like to enter into a new agreement to facilitate more amicable terms and conditions, streamlined service and updated contract provisions. New services include a dedicated online customer portal that will allow us to view invoices, open service requests and track the lifecycle of a uniform. The new agreement is based on an RFP competitively awarded by the Sourcewell cooperative group, to which the County belongs. The term of the agreement is 60 months, with subsequent 60 -month terms to be brought before the Board for approval approximately 120 days prior to the effective date. Staff has negotiated modifications to the agreement that are memorialized in an addendum. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funding will come from applicable department uniform accounts, with no change in pricing. PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS Original agreement approval in 2022. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the Customer Service Agreement and Addendum, and authorize the Chairman to execute them after the County attorney has approved them for as to form and legal sufficiency.

Zito, Deputy County Administrator Susan Prado, Deputy County Attorney Cynthia Emerson, Community Services Director FROM: Stacey Bush, Housing Services Manager DATE: September 23, 2025 Indian River County Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov Meeting Date: 9/23/2025 SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution Establishing Payment Standards (Based on HUD's Fair Market Rents) for Housing Choice Voucher Program for Fiscal Year 2026 BACKGROUND Indian River County Code designates the Deputy County Attorney as the County's Fair Housing Coordinator. Among the County's housing programs is the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, formerly known as Section 8 Housing. Federal regulations require the Board to approve, by resolution, the Housing Choice Voucher Program payment standards each year, which are set in relation to HUD's published Fair Market Rents (FMRs). The HCV Program is a federally funded rental assistance program administered locally by the County's Housing Services Division. While federal regulations establish program rules, local demographics influence administration. Indian River County has a significantly higher elderly/retiree population (approximately 33%) compared to the national average of 18%, which increases demand for affordable housing options for low- income elderly residents. The program also serves veterans, persons with disabilities, and other low-income households. The County owns no housing under this program. Instead, private landlords make their units available, which must meet HUD's Housing Quality Standards before being approved for tenancy. In exchange for participating, landlords benefit from reliable rent payments and potential tax advantages, while tenants obtain safe, decent, and affordable housing. Qualified tenants typically contribute between 30% and 40% of their income toward rent and utilities, with the balance paid directly to the landlord by the County. This program supports the County's Comprehensive Plan objective of ensuring access to housing for very low- and extremely low-income residents, while also generating administrative fee revenue from HUD to support operations. ANALYSIS HUD annually publishes updated FMRs for each metropolitan and non -metropolitan area. These FMRs are Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 pow let t L egistarT , intended to reflect the cost of modest rental housing and serve as the basis for establishing local payment standards, which are the maximum subsidy amounts the HCV Program will provide for specific unit sizes. For Fiscal Year 2026, HUD released new FMRs for Indian River County that reflect changes in local rental market conditions, including increases in average rents and sustained demand for affordable housing. To maintain program effectiveness and ensure participant choice in securing housing, staff recommends adopting payment standards between 90% and 110% of the published FMRs, in accordance with HUD regulations. By aligning payment standards with current market rates, the County can help ensure voucher holders are able to access a wider range of housing opportunities and avoid displacement due to rising rents. Failure to update payment standards could limit housing options, increase the rent burden for participating households, and reduce landlord participation in the program. The attached resolution formally establishes these payment standards for FY2026, effective October 1, 2025. BUDGETARY IMPACT There is no direct budgetary impact associated with the approval of the Payment Standards. All administrative functions and program activities are supported by existing HUD grant allocations and administrative fee revenue. PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS Approval of the FY2025 Payment Standards in September 2024. POTENTIAL FUTURE BOARD ACTIONS Annual review and approval of updated Payment Standards for FY2027.

Name and Title Signature Date 150 A TRUt COPY CERTIFICATON ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK EXHIBIT C [From policy adopted by Indian River County Board of County Commissioners on August 16, 2022.] A. Nonprofit Agency Responsibilities After Award of Funding 1. Indian River County provides funding to all nonprofit agencies on a reimbursement basis only. 2. All reimbursable expenses must be documented by an invoice and/or a copy of the canceled check. Any expense not documented properly to the satisfaction of the Office of Management & Budget and/or the County Administrator may not be reimbursed. 3. If an agency repeatedly fails to provide adequate documentation, this may be reported to the Board of County Commissioners. In the event an agency provides inadequate documentation on a consistent basis, funding may be discontinued immediately. Additionally, this may adversely affect future funding requests. 4. Expenditures may only be reimbursed from the fiscal year for which funding was awarded. For example, no expenditures prior to October 1°' may be reimbursed with funds from the following year. Additionally, if any funds are unexpended at the end of a fiscal year, these funds are not carried over to the next year unless expressly authorized by the Board of Commissioners. 5. All requests for reimbursement at fiscal year-end (September 30til) must be submitted on a timely basis. Each year, the Office of Management & Budget will send a letter to all nonprofit agencies advising of the deadline for reimbursement requests for the fiscal year. This deadline is typically early to mid-October, since the Finance Department does not process checks for the prior fiscal year beyond that point. 6. Each reimbursement request must include a summary of expenses by type. These summaries should be broken down into salaries, benefits, supplies, contractual services, etc. If Indian River County is reimbursing ar. agency for only a portion of an expense (e.g. salary of an employee), then the method for this portion should be disclosed on the summary. Reimbursement requests will not be reviewed until a complete summary is submitted. The Office of Management & Budget has summary forms available. 7. Indian River County will not reimburse certain types of expenditures. These expenditure types are listed below. a. Travel expenses for travel outside the County including but not limited to; mileage reimbursement, hotel rooms, meals, meal allowances, per diem, and tolls. Mileage reimbursement for local travel (within Indian River County) is allowable. b. Sick or Vacation payments for employees. Since agencies may have various sick and vacation pay policies, these must be provided from other sources. c. Any expenses not associated with the provision of the program for which the County has awarded funding. d. Any expense not outlined in the agency's funding application. 8.

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator Michael C. Zito, Deputy County Administrator Cindy Emerson, Community Services Director From: Megan Kendrick, Human Services Manager Subject: Children's Services Advisory Committee Recommended Program Funding Allocations for Fiscal Year 24/25 BACKGROUND On February 16, 2024, the County issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) inviting not-for-profit and for-profit organizations, government agencies, and individuals to apply for funding to support children's programs and services in Indian River County. This grant program is administered by Indian River County with assistance from the Children's Services Advisory Committee (CSAC), consistent with Ordinance Number 2022-007 and the County's Outside Agency Funding Policy Revisions approved by the Board on August 4, 2022. In response to the RFP, the County received 56 proposals requesting a total of $3,452,939.14 in funding. All 56 proposals can be found on The Children's Services Webpage. Over the past 10 months, staff have collaborated with the CSAC Main Committee, the Needs Assessment Subcommittee, and the Grants Subcommittee to refine the RFP process. The goal is to ensure the needs of the children and families in our community are being met, to provide agencies with professional development and coaching to develop strong RFPs, to establish clear measurable outcomes for agencies, to analyze and share impact reports with the public, and to increase transparency throughout the process. Below is a timeline of the work that has been done to improve the RFP process by enhancing accountability and impact. RFP Timeline: November - January • Staff collaborated with the Needs Assessment Committee to develop the comprehensive 2024- 2027 Needs Assessment Plan. January • Staff developed the RFP Scoring Rubric based on the needs identified in the Needs Assessment Plan. February • Staff offered an RFP walkthrough to all interested agencies. • Staff provided individualized RFP support to all interested agencies. • Staff provided professional development for budget planning and performance accountability 154 Departmental Item to all interested agencies. • RFP Application for FY 24/25 opened to all agencies. March • Staff provided professional development on research -based program design and evaluation. April - May Application closed. CSAC Grant Subcommittee reviewed and scored 56 program applications using the RFP Scoring Rubric. • Staff provided individualized presentation preparation to all interested agencies. May - June • May 30, June 5, and June 6: CSAC Grant Subcommittee held grant presentations for all 56 programs. • June 7: CSAC Grant Subcommittee deliberated and voted on FY 24/25 CSAC Funding Recommendations. • June 14: CSAC Main Committee reviewed the recommendations and voted to approve the CSAC Grant Subcommittee Recommendations. Funding Recommendation Process: On April Wh, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners approved FY 24/25 funding for Children's Services in the amount of $3,149,351, with up to $207,522 for administrative expenses and up to $2,941,829 in Children's Program expenses. Staff organized programs into the three priorities identified in the Needs Assessment: Health and Well- being, Nurturing Families and Communities, and Success in School and Life. After the CSAC Grant Subcommittee reviewed, analyzed, scored, and heard presentations from the 56 programs, they used the scores from the RFP Scoring Rubric, supporting documentation, and information from the presentations to determine how much funding each program should be allocated. Once the allocation for each program had been decided, the CSAC Grant Subcommittee voted on the total funding recommendation for programs in each priority. The CSAC Grant Subcommittee approved full or partial requested funding for the following programs, per priority: Priority # of Appl. Programs # of Awarded Programs Award Health & Well -Being 10 7 $400,000 Nurturing Families and Communities 14 11 $449,950 Success in School & Life 32 29 $1,963,069 Total Awarded 56 47 $2,813,019 Total Funding Available $2,941,829 Total Funding Remaining $128,810 After allocating funding to 47 total programs, there was a remaining balance of $128,810, with a recommendation that it be used for future needs that serve children and families in FY 24/25. The CSAC Main Committee then approved the Grant Subcommittee's funding recommendation. 155 Departmental Item 156 Departmental Item FUNDING Funding was approved on April 9t', 2024, by the Board of County Commissioners and no additional funds are requested. RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve CSAC's funding recommendations for children's programs for FY 24/25 and authorize the County Administrator to execute the 47 program grant agreements after review and approval by the County Attorney for legal sufficiency. Should program funding become available through default, noncompliance, or early termination of an awarded grant program during the fiscal year, staff will bring an item to the Board for approval of an alternative program or service based on the needs of children and families in Indian River County.

AHCA has significantly changed the process to receive the PEMT payments to providers over prior years. The new process requires an upfront payment from the County of $571,385.02 in order to receive the PEMT payment. This payment from the County to ARCA, as well as all of the statewide provider's payments, will be bundled as a funding mechanism to apply for federal grants. It is anticipated that the funds provided to AHCA ($571,385.02) will be returned to the County, as well as the annual PEMT MCO funds estimated to be $764,250.83, with a total return to the County of $1,335,635.85. ANALYSIS N/A BUDGETARY IMPACT Funding for this agreement, in the amount of $571.385.02, will come from the Emergency Services District Fund/Other Operating Supplies-PEMT account, number 11412022-035290-20023, via budget amendment from Cash Forward. When payment is returned to the County, the funds will be deposited into the Emergency Services District Fund/Service Charges/PEMT Program Distribution revenue account.

This project has been initiated based on complaints by local residents regarding flooding in their yards which, accordingto their testimonies, during substantial rainfall events, were due to upwelling of groundwater originating from the Sandridge, into their yards, and steady stream of stormwater free-flowing from the west to east streets west of ODH, which then collects and floods at the lowest point of ODH and floods many residential properties east of ODH. Based on our preliminary visual on-site investigation, the probable modifications are as follows: • Construct roadside swales with swale blocks along the west to east streets that lie west of Old Dixie Highway ("ODH") that drain unabated into ODH, • Construct similar swales along ODH Right -of -Way to capture, retain and convey run-off, • Construct underdrain system along ODH to intercept the groundwater that is draining from the sand ridge, which is upwelling onto ODH and the yards of the home sites to the east of ODH, and • Construct/Retrofit (existing) drainage conveyance facilities that drain to the Indian River Lagoon.

EXHIBIT `A' SCOPE OF WORK WORK ORDER No. 01 Project Descri11tan The proposed project will provide engineering services including evaluation and design for the construction of alteration of and/or addition to drainage infrastructure to prevent localized flooding in the Old Dixie Highway area ("Site") in north Indian River County ("County"). This project has been initiated based on complaints by local residents regarding flooding in their yards which, accordingto their testimonies, during substantial rainfall events, were due to upwelling of groundwater originating from the Sandridge, into their yards, and steady stream of stormwater free-flowing from the west to east streets west of ODH, which then collects and floods at the lowest point of ODH and floods many residential properties east of ODH. Based on our preliminary visual on-site investigation, the probable modifications are as follows: • Construct roadside swales with swale blocks alongthe westto east streets that lie west of Old Dixie Highway ("ODH") that drain unabated into ODH, • Construct similar swales along ODH Right -of -Way to capture, retain and convey run-off, • Construct underdrain system along ODH to intercept the groundwater that is draining from the sand ridge, which is upwelling onto ODH and the yards of the home sites to the east of ODH, and • Construct/Retrofit (existing) drainage conveyance facilities that drain to the Indian River Lagoon. i Shope of Work Schutke, Bittte & Stoddard, L.L.C.

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator THROUGH: Michael C. Zito, Deputy County Administrator Beth Powell, Parks, Recreation, & Conservation Director FROM: Gustavo Vergara, Parks, Recreation and Conservation Assistant Director Operations and Programs DATE: 7/22/2025 SUBJECT: 2025 Special Olympics Fall Classic License Agreement - October 4, 2025 BACKGROUND Special Olympics is a global organization and is the largest sport organization that serves athletes with intellectual disabilities with more than 4.9 million athletes in 172 countries and over one million volunteers. The Mission of the Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in variety of Olympic type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. The Special Olympics mission remains as vital today as it did when the movement was founded in 1968. Special Olympics offers 27 sports in Florida starting at the age of 2 years old, with close to 75,000 athletes and 45,000 volunteers participating yearly. Indian River County has a long history of hosting the State Swimming Championships at the North County Aquatic Center and Golf Championships at Sandridge Golf Club. These events not only support athletes and their families in providing amazing facilities for their competitions but provide important economic impact to the area. ANALYSIS For the second year, Special Olympics would like to expand their reach to local athletes by hosting the 2025 Fall Classic in Indian River County on Saturday, October 4, 2025. This event will include flag football, pickleball, softball (outdoor sports) and power lifting in one high energy day. The outdoor sports would be held at Richard "Dick" Bird Park and power lifting would be held inside the iG gym with a luncheon provided in rooms 131A, 13113 and 131C. Rooms 112A and 112B would be used for coaches' meetings throughout the day. This will be the first time a regional event of its kind will be held in the County and Special Olympics Staff are very excited about the closeness of the facilities as it will create a synergistic effect to the day by bringing all the disciplines together without the need to travel between facilities. The attached License Agreement and proposed fees encapsulate the entirety of the relationship for this event. An additional 25% discount to the non- profit rate due to the existing relationship with Special Olympics and probable economic impact is proposed.

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator THROUGH: Michael C. Zito, Deputy County Administrator Beth Powell, Parks, Recreation, & Conservation Director Indian River County Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov Meeting Date: 9/23/2025 FROM: Wendy Swindell, Parks, Recreation & Conservation Assistant Director DATE: September 9, 2025 SUBJECT: Wabasso Causeway Park FIND Grant IR -24-78 Withdrawal BACKGROUND Wabasso Causeway Park is located along Wabasso Beach Road (CR 510) and consists of four separate spoil island lobes encompassing an area of approximately 13.4 acres. Features include a boat launch, restroom facilities, picnic tables, pavilions, and shoreline areas for recreation. Conditions within the park have deteriorated over the years due to storm damage, increases in wave energy associated with high water events from King Tides, and wear from public use. The boat ramp and adjacent parking area require significant repair and replacement, and amenities along the shoreline areas are significantly affected by continuous erosion. On March 5, 2024, the Board passed the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) Resolution For Assistance 2024 (Resolution #2024-008) as required for the Waterways Assistance Program (WAP) grant application process. The approved Resolution was included as part of the WAP application submitted by staff to FIND on April 1, 2024, for "Phase 1 Design and Engineering of Wabasso Causeway Park Improvements." The FIND application included a $150,000 project to design and engineer improvements to the existing parking areas and boat ramps. The County was required to provide a $75,000 (50:50) match for this grant. On October 15, 2024, FIND notified the County that the project had been selected for funding and provided a project agreement for consideration by the Board. The Wabasso Causeway WAP Grant Agreement IR -24-78 was executed by FIND on December 2, 2024. ANALYSIS Following the award of the grant, staff moved forward with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for design and engineering of improvements to the boat ramp and parking areas. In addition to engineered plans, the scope of work included preparation of a conceptual plan for the entire causeway park. The RFQ process was completed, and an engineering firm (Halff) was selected, and approved by the Board at the November 5, 2024, meeting. The proposed scope of work and corresponding proposed fee proposed by Halff exceeded the funding amount that was projected by staff at the time the grant application was submitted to FIND. Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 PoWTJO Legistar- Throughout this process, staff have been coordinating with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) staff on proposed improvements. As the owners of the causeway, this coordination was needed to ensure that the County's design would not conflict with any future plans that FDOT is undertaking. On July 8, 2025, the County Administrator held a meeting with FDOT and staff to discuss the FDOT long- range plan for the causeway. The FDOT identified that there are plans for an improved sidewalk and an additional bike lane, however, the schedule for the design and engineering of this work has not been fmalized. Future bridge replacement is also considered in FDOT's long-term planning. Given the uncertainty of the FDOT plans, as well as the additional cost for the proposed Halff planning and design (which included expanded design for future uses), staff were directed to pause moving forward with an agreement with Halff, and to discuss withdrawing the FIND grant. Staff notified FIND and they approved the withdrawal of the grant without prejudice. BUDGETARY IMPACT There is no budgetary impact for the item.

Indian River County, Florida Page 2 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 POWTJ ly LpgistaO` Indian River County, Florida MEMORANDUM File ID: 25-0925 Type: Consent Staff Report TO: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator Michael C. Zito, Deputy County Administrator Beth Powell, Parks, Recreation, & Conservation Director V Indian River County Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov Meeting Date: 9/23/2025 FROM: Gustavo Vergara - Assistant Director, Parks, Recreation, and Conservation DATE: August 28, 2025 SUBJECT: Gifford Aquatic Center Heater/Chiller Well System BACKGROUND In February 2025, the Board of County Commissioners approved an amendment to the scheduled Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that included the funding of $300,000 for a new well supply at the Gifford Aquatic Center that is a critical component for the heater/chiller system. The new system is necessary due to the failure of the existing surface wells, which provide water to the geothermal heat exchange system used to control the water temperature of the pool. The original funding request was based on preliminary estimates and an incomplete understanding of the full scope of work required to remediate the issue; however, staff has obtained actual project costs that exceed the initial projections. The system operates as a closed loop, where water is drawn from a source well and discharged via a separate well back into the aquifer in the same form it was extracted. The existing wells are surficial wells, which do not produce the quality or quantity of water needed to run the system properly. The new wells will extend over 650 feet into the Upper Floridan Aquifer and will be able to provide a continuous source of water at the required 90 gallons per minute. The new well system is a permanent and long-term solution to provide a stable water temperature for year-round use. ANALYSIS Staff received quotes from Centerline Drilling, referencing the Town of Jupiter Surficial Rehabilitation Program Contract, which the County is eligible to piggyback, and quotes from JLA Geosciences Inc., Hydrological Consultants "JLA", with whom no competitive agreement is available to piggyback, and which will require Board approval, due to the total cost exceeding the County Administrator's current authority. These two vendors will perform services necessary to provide a new Upper Floridan Aquifer source and discharge wells, which includes all work needed to provide a clean source of water for the system and a return well to handle the discharged water. In addition, quotes were obtained from Complete Electric to run the necessary electricity and motor starter to power the pump motor, and from Meeks Plumbing to install the almost 650 feet of PVC pipe required to connect the new source well and return well to the system. The total cost of providing a Floridan well for the source of water to operate the geothermal heating/chilling system at the Gifford Aquatic Center is quoted at $501,198.62. This closed-loop system requires that water drawn from the source be returned to the Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 3 Printed on 9/18/2025 powr ,ay Legistar- aquifer in its original state. The quote does not include construction bonds or additional unanticipated site - related expenses associated with completing the project. It is recommended that an additional 10%, or $50,119.86, contingency be allocated to expedite project completion plus $15,000 for bond and permit costs, for a total project budget of $566,318.48. This is $266,318.48, or 88.8%, above the original budget. A summary of the projected expenses is shown in the table below: Task Estimate A - Engineering & Design Svc $ 9,026.00 Centerline Source Well Drilling Source Well $ 195,708.24 Centerline Return Well Drilling Discharge Well $ 195,708.24 A UFA Supply and Discharge Well CMS $ 66,226.00 Symbiont Heat Exchangers Test and Turn -Up $ 13,744.00 Centerline Well Pump (non -contract) $ 2,496.14 Complete Electric Well Pump Circuit and Motor Starter $ 5,520.00 Meeks Plumbing Source and Discharge Well Connectivity $ 12,770.00 Total $ 501,198.62 Contingency (10%) + Bond and Permitting $ 65,119.86 Total Project Budget $ 566,318.48 Over/(Under) Budget $ 266,318.48 BUDGETARYIMPACT Funding, in the amount of $300,000 is budgeted and available in the Optional Sales Tax/Gifford Aquatic Center/GAC New Wells System account, number 31510572-066510-25027. The additional $266,318.48 will be included on the updated Fiscal Year 2025/2026 CIP, for a total project cost of $566,318.40. PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS On February 25, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners adopted ordinance #2025-005, Amending the text of the Comprehensive Plan's Capital Improvements by updating the county's 5 -year CIP schedule and related data and analysis sections. The well repair for Gifford Aquatic Center was included in that Capital Improvement Plan. POTENTIAL FUTURE BOARD ACTIONS Future approval of amended Fiscal Year CIP schedule. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Infrastructure and Quality of Life. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully requests that the Board of County Commissioners approve the estimated additional costs necessary to complete the project, and issuance of the indicated purchase orders for the construction of anew Floridan well to a geothermal heating/chilling system at the Gifford Aquatic Center for $501,198.62 as noted above.

(JLA) is pleased for the opportunity to assist Indian River County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department (IRC) with hydrogeologic consulting services. The IRC Gifford Aquatic Complex (GAC) operates a closed loop heat exchange system to regulate water temperature utilizing water from the Surficial aquifer system (SAS). The SAS supply and return wells have been replaced multiple times over the years and have never performed satisfactorily due to low production and subsequent fouling of the heat exchange system. Currently the GAC heat exchange system is inoperable due to chronic issues associated with SAS supply well. IRC is requesting JLA's assistance with replacing the SAS wells with an Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) supply and return well similar to the North County Aquatic Complex heat exchange system. Outlined below are the specific tasks included in our proposed scope of work, along with the associated costs for your thorough review and consideration. Our dedicated team is committed to delivering outstanding results, ensuring the project maintains the highest standards of quality. 1.0 GAC UFA Supply and Return Well Siting and Design — Provide hydrogeologic services, for siting and design of UFA heat exchange system supply well and return well at the IRC GAC to replace the existing SAS wells. • Well siting will include desktop review of existing UFA well construction information in the area to determine proposed well construction details and assist with pricing from well drilling contractors, review of site plans to be provided by IRC to identify potential locations for a new UFA supply well and UFA return well to replace the existing SAS wells. Following the desktop review and identification of potential locations, JLA will meet with jlageosciences.com 235 JLA Geosciences, Inc. Proposal to Gustavo Vergara, CPRE March 4, 2025 Page 2 of 3 IRC staff onsite to finalize the new well location(s). Replacement well siting will take into account site access, pipeline re-routing and site constructability. Well drilling and testing will be performed by a State of Florida certified water well drilling contractor. Civil and mechanical design work associated with the well pipeline, electrical and connection to existing heat exchange system is not included in this scope. • JLA will develop a well construction sequence and design criteria for one (1) UFA supply well and 1 UFA return well to generate pricing. Design and pricing will be based off of the Town of Jupiter (TOJ) Well Rehabilitation and Maintenance contract that has been Piggybacked by IRC to complete this work. Outlined below are the specific tasks included in our proposed scope of work, along with the associated costs for your thorough review and consideration. TASK COST 1.0- UFA WELL SITING, PERMITTING, AND DESIGN $9,026.00 PROJECT TOTAL $9,026.00 Schedule JLA understands the importance of expediting this evaluation. As such, following authorization, JLA will begin immediately with the well siting and design to facilitate the start of well construction. Task 1 well siting and design will be provided within 60 days of authorization. Assumptions • Existing Town of Jupiter Wellfield Rehabilitation and Maintenance contract with Centerline Drilling will be piggybacked by the IRC to perform the proposed well construction work. • Permitting costs if required are not included in this scope of work. • Certifications by a State of Florida Professional Engineer if required are not included in this scope of work. This proposal has been carefully prepared using the information provided and our understanding of the project. If there are any additional details or specific requirements that we may have inadvertently overlooked, we would be more than happy to review any additional information provided. Our aim is to ensure that the scope of work and associated costs align with your expectations and project goals. jlageosciences.com 236 JLA Geosciences, Inc.

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator Sean C. Lieske, Director, Department of Utility Services Howard G. Richards, PE, Manager - Capital Projects FROM: Paola Talavera, Associate Engineer, Utility Services DATE: September 23, 2025 SUBJECT: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Work Order 21 for Wabasso Repump Station Conversion - IRCDUS Project ID 21.25.519 BACKGROUND Indian River County Department of Utilities Services (IRCDUS) owns and operates the Wabasso Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). The treatment system has been out of commission for several years, and the site now strictly operates as a re -pump station for domestic wastewater flows. Domestic wastewater from two separate force mains cascades into an open tank structure (old digesters) and is re -pumped through a 16 -inch force main that routes southbound on Old Dixie Highway to the Gifford (Central) WRF. Nine (9) additional lift stations discharge into the 16 -inch force main downstream of this station. ANALYSIS Much of the existing treatment infrastructure at the Wabasso WRF has deteriorated due to age and lack of use. The cascading force mains entering the old digesters has resulted in corrosion of nearby structures and odor issues. There is also significant grease build-up in the tanks. Furthermore, the existing site has several safety issues pertaining to deteriorated catwalks, gratings, hand railings and other surface components that need to be addressed for staff safety. There is a proposed development adjacent to the Wabasso WRF that is prompting the need for improvements to the site in order to contain the odors. As such, IRCDUS initiated the Wabasso Re -pump Station Conversion project (Project ID 21.25.519) to convert the station to an inline station. A key objective of the conversion is to eliminate the use of the old digester tanks to receive incoming wastewater flows. A study to investigate options for the station conversion was completed in November 2023. The hydraulic analysis of the configuration evaluated at the time, concluded that the 16 -inch downstream force main would require up-sizing which represent a significantly higher investment in the project. It was then decided to defer further analysis of the station to the Integrated Water Master Plan (IWMP), projected for completion in mid -summer 2026. As time progressed since the prior study, the above-mentioned concerns as well as increasing sanitary sewer Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 poweZ64 legistarT" overflows (SSOs) has elevated the urgency of the project. IRCDUS selected Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. (KHA) to update the study and complete design of the project. KHA was selected due to their experience designing Lift Station 89, the only inline pump station in the IRCDUS wastewater system. Upon request by IRCDUS staff, KHA provided the attached Work Order 21 (WO 21), pursuant to Continuing Contract Agreement, dated May 2, 2023, to perform hydraulic modeling, design, permitting, and bid phase professional services associated with the Wabasso Repump Station Conversion in the amount is $464,623.95. It should be noted that, upon completion of KHA services under WO 21, a new work order is proposed to be issued to KHA, or other appropriate consultant, for construction phase services. BUDGETARYIMPACT It should be noted that the Wabasso Repump Station Conversion project is not budgeted in the currently approved Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Element (CIE). To fund this project, expenses in the amount of $464,623.95 will be recorded in the Utilities/WIP/Wabasso Repump Station Conversion account, number 471-169000-25519. Since this is an operating capital project, the funds will come from fund balance. Operating funds are derived from water and sewer sales. Description Account Number Amount tilities/WIP/Wabasso Repump Station Conversion 71-169000-25519 $464,623.95 POTENTIAL FUTURE BOARD ACTIONS Approval of a proposed new Work Order to KHA for Construction Phase Services. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Infrastructure: Planning, constructing, managing, and maintaining critical public infrastructure in response to our current needs, future demands, and the expectations of our community; embracing innovation, technology, and resiliency. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approve Work Order 21 pursuant to Continuing Contract Agreement, dated May 2, 2023 to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to provide professional services for the Wabasso Repump Station Conversion project (Project ID 21.25.519) in the amount of $464,623.95 and authorize the Chair to execute the same. So long as there are no changes in the dollar amount under the amount approved, upon adequate completion of the work set forth in the work order, staff is directed to make final payments to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.

Butler, Clerk of Court and Comptroller Attest: Deputy Clerk (SEAL) 266 Exhibit A — Scope of Work Indian River County Department of Utility Services Wabasso Wastewater Repump-to-Inline Conversion, Project ID 21.25.519 Preliminary Design, Design, Permitting and Bid Phase Services September 2, 2025 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Indian River County Department of Utilities Services (IRCDUS) owns and operates the Wabasso Water Reclamation Facility. The treatment system has been out of commission for several years, and the site strictly operates as a re -pump facility for domestic wastewater flows. Domestic wastewater from two separate forcemains cascade into the existing surge tank (open tank structure) and is repumped via duplex submersible pump arrangement (each pump rated for 495 gpm) through a 16 -inch forcemain that routes southbound on Old Dixie Highway to the Gifford Wastewater Treatment Plant. Nine (9) additional pump stations discharge into the 16 -inch forcemain downstream of this station. The pumps are initiated through level control floats and Across -The -Line (ATL) starters. Much of the existing treatment infrastructure at the Wabasso Water Reclamation Facility has deteriorated due to age and lack of use. The cascading forcemains entering the old surge tank has resulted in corrosion of nearby structures and odor issues. There is also significant grease build-up in the holding tanks that is causing operations to utilize blowers to mitigate. Furthermore, the existing site has several safety issues pertaining to the catwalks, gratings, handrailings and other walking -working surface components that need to be addressed for staff safety. There is a proposed site to be developed adjacent to the site and IRCDUS desires to implement improvements to the existing site and convert the wastewater re -pump station to be an inline pump station in order to contain the odors. The general scope will include construction of an inline booster pump station equipped with Variable Frequency Drives to account for wide range of flows and an allowance for additional pumps to be added in the future for elevated capacity. The station will require, per FDEP regulations, a permanent standby diesel driven generator that will provide backup power when utility power is lost.

Titkanich, Jr, County Administrator Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services Indian River Coun Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov Meeting Date: 9/23/2025 FROM: Howard G. Richards, PE, Manager - Capital Projects DATE: August 27, 2025 SUBJECT: Amendment 1 to Agreement RFQ 2024039 Integrated Water Master Plan with HDR Engineering, Inc. for Wabasso Causeway Bridge Reuse Main Condition Assessment & Repair Design Services, IRCDUS Project ID: 31.24.509 BACKGROUND To address anticipated increasing growth within Indian River County (IRC), the Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) is undertaking the development of an Integrated Water Master Plan (IWMP) to help ensure continued availability of water, wastewater, and reuse services to its customers. The IWMP involves comprehensive analyses and assessments of current conditions and future demand for services to define short - and long-range Capital Improvement Plans (CIP) for IRCDUS. HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) was contracted to perform the IWMP project (IRCDUS Project ID: 00.23.547) for a total approved budget of $3,218,590.00. HDR's IWMP scope includes conducting condition assessments of horizontal (linear) assets to "develop estimates of remaining useful life (RUL), likelihood offailure (LOF), consequence offailure (COF), and overall risk using desktop data". The IRCDUS horizontal asset base includes two (2) 12 -inch diameter reuse water mains that are suspended along the Wabasso Causeway Bridge over the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), an environmentally sensitive estuary, and Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) that serve customers on the barrier island. Constructed in 1995, one of the mains was previously utilized for potable water and the other for sewer transmission before converting to reuse in 2003. Both mains are considered critical, in that failure can result in negative consequences for the County. For optimal management of assets to minimize total cost of ownership (TOC) at acceptable levels of risks, condition assessments (CA) of critical assets (i.e., assets with high consequence of failure) are performed routinely to evaluate the modes by which the assets may fail. With each CA cycle, it is recommended that all likely modes of failure are evaluated due to the fact that the mode by which an asset could fail can change over time. A CA of the pipeline bridge -mounted aerial crossings along the Wabasso Causeway Bridge, was conducted in Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 3 Printed on 9/18/2025 pow "o LegistarTR° January and February 2016 to evaluate the conditions of the pipe walls, coatings, hangers, and linings. The approximately 3,400 linear feet (LF) of pipeline was separated into the main bridge sections: Bridge 1 (west low bridge), Bridge 2 (center low bridge), Bridge 3 (eastward low bridge), and Bridge 4 (high bridge over the ICW). The study concluded there was a range of deterioration, including wall thickness losses, severely weathered coatings, minimal internal corrosion, and that the hangers were in good condition overall. The report did not recommend any major intervention and instead recommended a reevaluation in 10 years (by 2026). Subsequently, a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) bridge profile inspection report completed on November 11, 2022, indicated and recommended cleaning and painting or replacement (if necessary) of the utility hangers in several locations. A photograph of one hanger showed section loss of material. Based on the previous reports and staff's concerns, the current IRCDUS CIP includes a project to replace the Wabasso Causeway Bridge reuse mains (IRCDUS Project ID: 31.24.509). However, the optimal timing for such a major project needs to be determined. ANALYSIS Conducting the reevaluation of the Wabasso Causeway Bridge reuse mains is required to determine the remaining useful life of the asset and informing the timing for intervention. The timing is critical for the completion of the IWMP to refine and update the Department's CIP. Based on discussions with HDR's consultants, a consensus was reached to immediately move forward with the reevaluation of Wabasso Causeway Bridge reuse mains. Upon staff request, HDR provided the attached Scope of Services (SoS) as Amendment 1 to Agreement RFQ 2024039 Integrated Water Master for Wabasso Causeway Bridge Reuse Main Condition Assessment. The HDR proposed services aimed to determine pipe class and original wall thickness, measure remaining wall thickness, identify near-term repairs to stabilize the mains, and recommend longer-term renewal. HDR's proposed compensation is on a time and materials basis for not -to -exceed (NTE) amount of $409,077.72. To ensure seamless integration of the course of action for the Wabasso Causeway Bridge reuse mains with the IWMP CIP development, IRCDUS proposes that the BCC approve the proposed Amendment 1 to HDR. Upon approval of Amendment 1, the total approved budget for Agreement RFQ 2024039 will increase to $3,627,667.72. BUDGETARYIMPACT Funds, in the amount of $409,077.72, for this project are derived from the Utilities Fund/General & Engineering/Other Professional Services/Wabasso Bridge Reuse Main Renewal account, number 47123536- 033190-24509, in the Utilities operating fund. The Utilities operating fund budget is derived from water and sewer revenues.

Indian River County, Florida Page 3 of 3 Printed on 9/18/2025 pow "I LegistarTfA Amendment 1 to Agreement RFQ 2024039 Integrated Water Master Plan Scope of Services for Wabasso Bridge Reuse Main Condition Assessment IRCDUS Project ID: 31.24.509 September 3, 2025 Indian River County, Florida (COUNTY) is implementing an Integrated Water Master Plan (IWMP) to prioritize programmatic and capital investments. HDR Engineering, Inc. (CONSULTANT) has been selected to collaborate with the COUNTY in the development of the IWMP. The IWMP will align with the framework outlined in the US Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) June 2012 Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater Planning Approach Framework codified within the Federal Clean Water Act in 2019. The goal of the IWMP is to develop an adaptable and affordable long-term plan for addressing the COUNTY's drinking water, wastewater, and reuse needs. A Professional Services Agreement for the IWMP was executed September 24, 2024. The COUNTY will provide additional funds under this Amendment for CONSULTANT to evaluate the condition of the 12 -inch diameter reclaimed water mains that are suspended along the Wabasso Causeway Bridge. The Wabasso Causeway Bridge consists of four sections along the causeway, each holding two 12 -inch diameter reclaimed water mains. These mains provide reclaimed water to customers on the barrier island and are suspended over the Indian River Lagoon, an environmentally sensitive estuary. In 2017, Carter Associates, Inc. performed a condition assessment of these reuse mains and summarized their findings in the report entitled, "Report of Reuse Water Pipeline Inspections Wabasso Bridge Crossings of the Indian River". In this report, the engineer arrived at the assumption that the pipes are Class 55 or 56. Carter Associates, Inc. took four pipe coupons along Bridges 2 and 4, the results of which showed up to 25% pipe wall thickness loss when a Pipe Class of 56 is assumed. In addition, an FDOT inspection from 2022 showed significant surface corrosion and potential structural concerns of pipe supports suspending the reuse mains. The COUNTY has requested that CONSULTANT perform a condition assessment of the pipelines along exposed lengths of the reclaimed mains as an amendment to the IWMP agreement. The objectives of this assessment are as follows: 1. Determine pipe class by taking wall thickness measurements along the reuse mains. 2. Measure remaining pipe wall thickness along 2.5 -foot segments for each main. 3. Identify need for near-term repairs and rehabilitation of pipe joints, supports, and coating needed to stabilize the reuse mains based on the results of the condition assessment. 4. Provide long-term recommendations for pipe repair, rehabilitation, replacement, or continued monitoring based on overall condition and remaining pipe wall thickness. The condition assessment will start with visual inspection and wall thickness measurements (Phase 1). Visual inspection will be an important first step in evaluating the condition of the pipe, anchors, and joints. A Broadband Electromagnetic (BEM) inspection utilizing Rock Solid BEM will help determine pipe classification and remaining pipe wall thickness. Following the completion of the visual and BEM inspections, the CONSULTANT will report on the condition of the pipe and pipe appurtenances; will provide recommendations for any near-term repairs, rehabilitation, or replacements deemed necessary; and will discuss the overall condition and remaining useful life of the pipe based on observed wall thickness loss, corrosion, and other observed factors. 283 CONSULTANT will utilize a boom truck within FDOT right-of-way to allow CONSULTANT staff to conduct visual and BEM inspections of the reclaimed water mains. Appropriate maintenance of traffic (MOT) and safety measures will be implemented to complete the work.

CONSULTANT will evaluate data compiled during the project with respect to regulatory drivers and provide analyses relevant to planning and implementation of the IWMP (e.g., relative water quality impacts, timing, relative magnitude of fiscal impacts, etc.). Regulations identified will include relevant new (e.g., PFAS rule) and emerging (e.g., M/DBP rule) regulations which may impact drinking water, wastewater, and reuse. CONSULTANT will develop a regulatory timeline to visualize identified regulatory milestones, deadlines, and other triggers over a 20 -year planning horizon. Timeline will be delivered to COUNTY and incorporated into the IP Framework document. Working with the COUNTY and their counsel, the CONSULTANT will engage the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to coordinate endorsement of the IWMP. This coordination will likely involve a series of meetings with FDEP to gain buy -in and discuss IWMP elements. 3.2 Vertical Asset Capacity Assessment CONSULTANT will perform desktop capacity assessments of treatment infrastructure and develop alternative improvement strategies for identified infrastructure or capacity deficiencies. CONSULTANT will utilize the 2045 horizon for determining needed infrastructure upgrades for mechanical and electrical equipment. CONSULTANT will utilize the 2075 horizon as needed to assess new basin capacities and facilities. CONSULTANT will develop an Excel workbook to record COUNTY's existing treatment capacities as well as industry standard capacities for comparison. CONSULTANT will use projections developed in Task 5.2 to define the expected demands and flows of the 2045 and 2075 planning horizons. 5 305 3.3 System Modeling / Linear Asset Capacity Assessment 3.3.1 Model Coordination Workshop (4 hours, in-person) CONSULTANT will facilitate a four-hour in-person coordination meeting with the COUNTY's existing hydraulic modeling consultant in order to discuss existing model infrastructure, data sources, calibration efforts and workflows, data and calibration needs, and other topics prior to model review and calibration. 3.3.2 Model Review and Existing Conditions Updates CONSULTANT will update COUNTY's most current hydraulic models (three total; one for distribution system, one for wastewater collection system, and one for reuse system) to assess current and future system performance. CONSULTANT will leverage COUNTY's current Geographic Information Systems (GIS) attributes for updating the existing conditions hydraulic models. CONSULTANT will run the existing conditions models with average flow and pressure conditions to check the reasonableness of the resulting modeled system pressures for distribution, collection, and reuse systems. Scope assumes that GIS is up-to-date and no updates to GIS are included. 3.3.3 Existing Conditions Model Validation CONSULTANT will work with the COUNTY to identify two conditions at which to run each of the three models. For the collection system model, these will be a typical dry weather condition and a wet weather condition. For the potable and reuse distribution system models, these conditions will represent a period of baseline demand and a period of high demand. CONSULTANT will utilize readily available data from representative periods for each system to run initial model scenarios for the COUNTY's three hydraulic models. This includes comparing results from the from the three hydraulic models to actual and typical system performance criteria including minimum and maximum pressure, velocity, fire flow (for potable water system] and headloss. Models will be considered valid if 90% of the model results are within 10% of actual flow data, within 10% of actual or expected pressure/level data, or within 5 feet of actual or expected water column as applicable and aligned with actual SSOs (for collection). CONSULTANT will present the six model outcomes to the COUNTY and discuss the path forward for each model to perform boundary level calibration with additional available data as part of Task 3.3.3 below, or to perform field data collection and full calibration as part of Task 3.3.4 below. 3.3.4 Boundary Level Calibration CONSULTANT will calibrate models as needed to known boundary level field conditions (i.e. known system pressures, pump station discharge pressures, pressure zone HGLs, measured flows). The boundary level calibration will be considered complete when 90% of the model results are within 10% for the flow data and 5 feet of water column of the field data. All exceptions will be justified and documented. Time series data validation will be considered compared when the model is able to replicate the observed trends and minirnum and maximum points. Individual time points in time series will not be compared. CONSULTANT will meet with COUNTY operations start to review model results and prepare for field calibration efforts if further model calibration is warranted. 3.3.5 Field Data Collection for Full Calibration 306 3.3.5.1 POTABLE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CONSULTANT will perform a series of hydrant flow tests to refine roughness coefficients (C factors) for model calibration. CONSULTANT will develop a calibration plan that identifies hydrants to perform flow tests on and will collect hydrant flow test: data at these hydrants. This field data will be used to calibrate the model to simulate losses across the distribution system. CONSULTANT will adjust model parameters to balance the model to meet the calibration goals as indicated in the AWWA M32 °Computer Modeling Water Distribution Systems" Manual. All exceptions will be justified and documented. CONSULTANT will provide statistics for model calibration results. if SCADA data is available, the hydraulic model will be calibrated to al 'D-day 1168 h Extended Period Simulation (EPS). Time series data validation will be considered compared when the model is able to replicate the observed trends and minimum and maximum points. Individual time points in time series will-not be compared. The following assumptions apply: • COUNTY is responsible fdr cornuting all hydrant tests with COUWN equipment and following all COUNTY protocols, • CONSULTANT will hold one (11 Virtual review Meeting to present the final model and calibration results. • Hydrant flow test data to be collected and interpreted by CONSULTANT witll operation of valves and systems provided by the COUNTY.

CONSULTANT will. not conduct hydrant flow tests. • One calibration meeting is assumed to be on-site at COUNTY offices in >fotilon of 4 hours. • The COUNTY will collect pressure data as needed for main calibration. • A total of 40 hydrant flow tests are assumed. Schedule assumes 2 hours of CONSULTANT time per hydrant test and 8 -hour workdays, totaling 10 field days. Final locations will be determined based on existing COUNTY flow test data, final goals and objectives of the model, and areas that are not within the boundary calibration range. • COUNTY will be responsible for setup, cleanup, traffic control, access, and customer notification ahead of testing, as needed. 3.3.5.2 WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM CONSULTANT will develop a calibration plan to identify needed flow, velocity, pressure, and level criteria for field data collection during a 12 -month period to capture daily fluctuations in the COUNTY's wastewater collection systern. Potential data collection includes: • Up to 3 insertion flow, velocity, and depth meters in the COUTY's gravity flow collection system. The C04MTY Will install the insertion meters and collect the data on a monthly basis. • Up to 20 strap -on flow meters with data recording in the COUNTY's low- pressure vacuum station discharge points and/or repump station discharge points. The COUNTY will install the flow meters and collect the data on a monthly basis. CONSULTANT will compile the data monthly and share it back with the COUNTY for review. C€NULTANT will present findings from this data during up to four progress meetings. 7 307 CONSULTANT will disaggregate base sanitary flows, dry weather flows, and wet weather flows to estimate inflow and infiltration quantities upstream of each data collection point. CONSULTANT will calibrate the model to a 7 -day EPS for both dry and wet weather time periods. CONSULTANT will adjust model parameters to balance the model and meet the goals of the UK's Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management's (CIWEM's) Wastewater Planning Users Group (WaPUG) Code of Practice for the Hydraulic Modeling of Sewer Systems. All exceptions will be justified and documented. CONSULTANT will provide statistics for model calibration results. 3.3.5.3 REUSE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CONSULTANT will develop a calibration plan to identify needed flow and pressure criteria for field data collection over a 1 -month period.

COUNTY will be responsible for setup, cleanup, traffic control, access, and customer notification ahead of testing, as needed. The COUNTY will install the flow meters and collect the data on a monthly basis. CONSULTANT will review the data collected and present findings from this data during one progress meeting. CONSULTANT will adjust model parameters to balance the model to meet the calibration goals as indicated in the AWWA M32 "Computer Modeling Water Distribution Systems" Manual. All exceptions will be justified and documented. CONSULTANT will provide statistics for model calibration results. If SCADA data is available, the hydraulic model will be calibrated to a 7 -day (168 hour) Extended Period Simulation (EPS). Time series data validation will be considered compared when the model is able to replicate the observed trends and minimum and maximum points. Individual time points in time series will not be compared. 3.4 Asset Management and Condition Assessment 3.4.1 Asset Management Review and Workshop (4 hours, in-person) CONSULTANT will review COUNTY's existing asset inventory, vertical asset hierarchy, and management systems and platforms to assess workflows and needs for asset management. CONSULTANT will review data and coordinate with the COUNTY to complete the asset inventory templated by Arcadis in 2018. CONSULTANT will provide the draft asset hierarchy to the COUNTY. CONSULTANT will facilitate a four-hour, in-person workshop to discuss the criteria, scoring, and weighting developed by Arcadis, as well as the asset inventory, and make changes, as needed, prior to further condtfttn assessment efforts.

TITKANICH, JR., COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR KRISTIN DANIELS, BUDGET DIRECTOR FROM: JENNIFER HYDE, PROCUREMENT MANAGER DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Changes to Chapter 105, Indian River County Code - Purchasing Procedures (Legislative) BACKGROUND On August 19, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners voted to approve language amending Section 105 of the Indian River County Code of Ordinances (Code). The County Attorney has finalized a draft ordinance, and has noticed a public hearing on the draft ordinance, set for September 23, 2025. The draft ordinance repeals the previous Chapter 105, and presents a re -organized and streamlined new Chapter 105. ANALYSIS The specific content changes presented in the draft ordinance and approved by the Board include: 1. Adding Procurement Manager's Purchasing Authority to Code. This threshold is currently only discussed in the Procurement Manual. Adding this section provides clear levels of authority for all procurement within Code. 2. Increasing County Administrator's Authority to $200,000 for all goods and services to shorten delivery time for goods and services, and to offer more opportunity for local and disadvantaged businesses to work with the County. 3. Removing references to specific bidding procedures, including bid opening procedures, award procedures, bid security procedures and payment and performance and public construction bond procedures. These are all addressed in the Procurement Policies and Procedures Manual. Policies are appropriate in Code, and procedures appropriate in the manual. 4. Modification of required disclosure of relationships to include if a vendor is a current county commissioner or county employee. Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 pow!or l_eyistar'M BUDGETARYIMPACT The final cost to publish the required public notice for the public hearing is $158.80, and will be paid from the General Fund/Procurement/Legal Ads account, 00121613-034910.

(c) Procurement Manager. Any county purchase of supplies, material, equipment, or services costing less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) may be approved by the procurement manager or his/her designee.

KAIrLYN ELiI' ; Notary Public State Of W sconsin Pie 10# 1 Indian River County, Florida MEMORANDUM Indian River County Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov File ID: 25-0895 Type: Public Hearing Meeting Date: 9/23/2025 TO: Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: John Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator Anthony Warren, Director of Building and Facilities Services FROM: Scott P. McAdam, Building Official DATE: September 8, 2025 SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Chapter 400 of the Indian River County Code entitled: Chapter 400. Regulation of Contractors. BACKGROUND Indian River County Ordinance Chapter 400 amendments are required due to recent State legislation mandating preemption of local occupational licensing changes. 2021 House Bill 735 Preemption of Local Occupational Licensing, preempted most local licensing categories unless the local government imposed licensing before January 1, 2021, which Indian River County has imposed local licensing before then, but local licensing would expire July 1, 2023. HB 735 also indicated a number of job scopes which the local government may not continue to require a local license for such as painting, flooring cabinetry, etc. 2023 House Bill 1383 Specialty Contractors, provided a one year extension for local licensing to expire July 1, 2024 and required Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Board to create a number of new Specialty License categories to address concerns from the industry. 2024 Senate Bill SB 1142 Occupational Licensing, provided for an additional one year extension for local licensing to expire July 1, 2025, and added a process for local licensed contractors to voluntarily become registered with the state, which was also a concern of the industry. The state preemption changes also allow for jurisdictions to continue to license local license categories that "substantially correspond" to a state contractor category. ANALYSIS It is the desire of the Building Division to license local contractors in order to regulate the construction activity, verify businesses and to protect the citizens of Indian River County. The Building Division staff has met several times with other Treasure Coast jurisdictions and the Treasure Coast Builders Association (TCBA) in order to work on consistent regulations for local contractor licensing. The Building Division staff has determined the best approach is to take advantage of the existing and newly created state specialty and the current state certified and registered license categories and apply the "substantially correspond" allowance to create local license categories that mirror the state categories and assign current locally licensed contractors to a corresponding category. These corresponding categories will have the identical license name and scope of work as the state categories. This allows for most current local licensed contractors to remain in business without being required to obtain a state license or having to fmd a new qualifier. Building Division staff have heard Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 POWIT401 LegistarT from multiple contractors that have been in business for 30-40 years and have no desire to obtain a state license. The preemption language indicates that local governments may not require a state or local license for some specific specialty contractor categories, but the scope of work still requires issuance of a permit. Jurisdictions in order to issue permits to this newly designated group of unlicensed contractors, need to create a process similar to the owneribuilder classification. This classification will be known as "Exempt Trades" and will allow them to apply for and obtain permits. A list of the updated Indian River County Contractor license categories is attached. The cost to publish the required public notice for the public hearing(s) is $149. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funds, in the amount of $149, are budgeted and available in the Building Department/Legal Ads account, number 44123324-034910. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Building Division recommends that after the public hearing the Board vote to approve the proposed amended ordinance.

ANALYSIS The Stormwater Management Plan is a comprehensive roadmap outlining the priorities, objectives, and implementation strategies of the Indian River County Stormwater Division. The SMP provides a long-term framework for addressing stormwater-related challenges across the County, with a focus on improving water quality, mitigating flooding, maintaining infrastructure, complying with regulatory mandates, and supporting resilient community development. This SMP includes key components such as: • Central Indian River Lagoon BMAP Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reduction estimations • Stormwater infrastructure asset assessment • Flood risk reduction strategies • Municipality coordination and partnership development • Grant and capital improvement funding strategies ESA prepared the SMP in a manner that provides an evaluation and prioritization of potential stormwater projects. The Stormwater Management Plan provides: • A summary of current conditions and challenges • Prioritized project list addressing water quality, resiliency, and flood mitigation • Cost -benefit analysis of proposed projects Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/10/2025 pow "0( Legistar' , • Public outreach results and stakeholder feedback • Alignment with state and federal regulatory programs such as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), BMAP and Community Rating System (CRS) The SMP further categorizes projects using a scoring matrix based on lagoon benefit (BMAP), flood reduction potential, cost -efficiency, community impact, land/easement acquisition, and CRS credit potential. This SMP will be used to assist the County in obtaining future funding and grants as well as provide a cost -benefit analysis of future projects so that the County's funds can be used in the most economical manner.

Located on the east side of Old Dixie Highway, approximately 500 feet south of the 65' Street/Old Dixie Highway intersection, the subject site is zoned CL, Limited Commercial, and has a C/I, Commercial/Industrial land use designation (see Attachment #1). Special exception use approval is required to change the use to a residential treatment center. Currently, the subject site consists of one existing building totaling 10,466 square feet (SF) that is used as an ACLF with a total of 29 beds. The existing ACLF building dimensions and area will remain, with the change of use to a residential treatment center requiring four additional parking spaces. A residential treatment center is defined in LDR Chapter 901 as a secure facility providing diagnosis, treatment, habitation, or rehabilitation on an in-patient basis in a living environment, which includes the supervision and care necessary to meet physical, emotional and/or social needs of clients. At its meeting of August 28, 2025, the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) voted 7-0 to recommend that the BCC grant special exception use and site plan approval for the proposed change of use from an ACLF to a residential treatment center, with the conditions recommended by staff. The BCC now needs to consider the special exception use and site plan approval request for the proposed change of use from an ACLF to a residential treatment center, conduct a public hearing, and vote to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for special exception use. ANALYSIS Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 4 Printed on 9/18/2025 pow" y LegistarT61 1. 2. 3. 4. Project Site Area: Zoning Classification: Land Use Designation: Building Area: 51,863 SF (1.19 acres) CL, Limited Commercial C/I, Commercial/Industrial Existing/Proposed: 10,466 SF Note: The existing building will not be increasing or decreasing in size. 5. Open Space: Required: 25.0% (minimum) Proposed: 42.6% 6. Impervious Surface Area: Existing: 20,887 SF Proposed Increase: 1,384 SF (Parking Area) Total: 22,097 SF 7. Off -Street Parking: Required: 21 spaces Proposed: 21 spaces (20 standard, 1 ADA) 8. Stormwater Management: The existing dry retention area in the southeast section of the subject site is to remain as a dry retention area but it is proposed to be slightly modified. With proposed modification in sloping, the dry retention area will slightly increase from the existing area of 7,438 SF to a final area of 7,495 SF. 9. Traffic Circulation: The site will be accessed from Old Dixie Highway via two existing full - movement, two-way driveway connections. Traffic engineering staff have reviewed and approved the project's traffic impact statement and internal circulation plan. Based on the traffic impact statement, no off-site improvements are required for this development, and none are proposed. 10. Landscape Plan: The proposed landscape plan has been reviewed by planning staff and meets the requirements of Chapter 926 of the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) for perimeter, interior, roadway, and non -vehicular open space landscaping areas. As the subject site is located across from the High Pointe Planned Development (PD), Sec. 971.28(6)(C) requires a 20' "Type A" landscape buffer with screening along the project's frontage. This buffer is provided within the proposed landscape plan. 11. Utilities: The existing facility is served by the County Utility Services Department for potable water and sewer services. These existing services will be utilized for the proposed change of use within the existing building. This has been reviewed and approved by the County Utility Services Department. 12. Required Improvements: No additional improvements are required beyond the additional parking area (four standard parking spaces) as a result of the proposed change of use. 13. Specific Land Use Criteria for a Residential Treatment Center [971.28(6)(C)J: The specific criteria for the proposed residential treatment center are addressed as follows: a. Residential treatment centers must meet all licensing requirements of the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services of the State of Florida; Note: The State of Florida Department of Health has replaced The State of Florida Department of Indian River County, Florida Page 2 of 4 Printed on 9/18/2025 pow "Y Legista," Health and Rehabilitative Services, and Department of Health (DOH) staff have approved the proposed plan set, with two advisory conditions provided. The applicant was advised to contact the Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) to determine permitting and inspection requirements, with a note that the DOH may perform inspections at this facility in conjunction with or at the request of the jurisdictional authority. It was also advised to contact DOH staff to perform biomedical waste permitting and inspection prior to the facility becoming operational. b. To avoid unsafe or unhealthy conditions that may be produced by the overcrowding of persons living in these facilities, a minimum floor area per person shall be required. Floor area requirements shall be measured from the interior walls of all rooms including closet space. i. Total interior living space. A minimum of two hundred (200) square feet of interior living space shall be provided per facility resident. Interior living space shall include sleeping space and all other interior space accessible on a regular basis to all facility residents. Note: The applicant proposes 288.27 SF of living space per resident. ii. Minimum sleeping areas. A minimum of eighty (80) square feet shall be provided in each sleeping space for single occupancy. A minimum of sixty (60) square feet of sleeping space shall be provided for each bed in a sleeping space for multiple occupancy. Note: The project proposes an average of 155 SF of sleeping area per occupant.

Note: The proposed site plan provides an increase of four (4) parking spaces to comply with the total 21 off-street parking spaces required for this change in use. d. The maximum capacity of residential treatment centers shall not exceed the applicable number permitted by the department of health and rehabilitative services. Note: Since this residential treatment center is not regulated by any state agencies, the maximum capacity of the facility shall be controlled by the minimum living space requirement cited from LDR section 971.28(6) b. noted above. The applicant has indicated that they will meet all required state codes. e. No residential treatment center shall be located within one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet of any other residential treatment facility, measured between the closest points of property. Note: No other residential treatment center exists within 1,200 feet of the subject site. Indian River County, Florida Page 3 of 4 Printed on 9/18/2025 Pow "Y legistarTM f. Residential treatment centers shall have a twentyfoot buffer strip with Type "A" screening at all points where they abut residentially designated property. Note: This buffer has been provided along the site's frontage within the proposed landscape plan, as the subject site is located across from the High Pointe PD. Therefore, all applicable specific land use criteria for the proposed residential treatment center are satisfied by the proposed site plan. 14.

The SMP is intended to provide IRC an initial framework for the allocation of resources related to stormwater improvement projects. The primary objectives of this SMP are improving water quality in the Indian River Lagoon(IRL)and improving flooding and resilience throughout IRC. The SMP aims to enhance the County's ability to manage runoff, reduce nutrient loading to the IRL, and mitigate the adverse effects of flooding, specifically in nine(9) Priority Areas identified by IRC as particularly prone to flooding,as shown in Figure 1. The SMP focuses on potential conceptual improvements that can provide both water quality improvement and flood mitigation. By integrating both traditional infrastructure and nature-based solutions,the SMP seeks to modernize aging systems,promote sustainable stormwater management practices,and provide a long- term approach to investing in the County's regional stormwater infrastructure.Through strategic investment and collaborative efforts,this SMP sets the foundation for a healthier IRL and a more resilient 411 future for Indian River County's stormwater systems. 1 .2 Current Stormwater Program Recognition 1 .2.1 Basin Management Action Plan Indian River County is an active participant in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)Basin Management Action Plan(BMAP)developed to reduce nutrient loading to the Central Indian River Lagoon(CIRL)and restore seagrass coverage in the lagoon. Specifically,the BMAP addresses a total maximum daily load(TMDL)adopted in 2009 calling for a reduction in total nitrogen and total phosphorus loads to the IRL. For both the TMDLs and BMAPs,the IRL system was subdivided into the Northern Indian River Lagoon(NIRL),Banana River,and CTRL. The CIRL was further subdivided into four(4)project zones,each with their own load reduction requirements which went into effect in 2021. The county contributes to two of the project zones: SEB and B. • Indian River County 1-1 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan June 2025 Final Draft Si N N A r m w N N N •_` ;1 3.-41.`-' a`- U d 0 .

The projects ranged from a County-wide fertilizer ordinance,constructed wetlands,regional stormwater facilities,detention ponds, and wastewater treatments upgrades including septic to sewer conversions. Combined,the projects were credited with reducing 44,534 lbs/yr of nitrogen and 8,574 lbs/yr of phosphorus. Some of the completed projects have Yet to have reductions assigned. IRC also has some ongoing efforts related to education and maintenance activities.These account for an additional 23,431 lb/yr reduction in nitrogen and 3,779 lbs/yr reduction of phosphorus. Table 1 shows the CTRL required load reductions,the reductions to date and the remaining required reductions by project zone.

The LMP establishes goals and objectives to address these factors while providing recommended projects and best management practices for County departments and for residents. Inventories of projects to achieve the LMP goals and objectives are included as tables in the document,categorized as Conceptual, Designed,Under Construction, and Operational,with the estimated nutrient reduction amounts provided for each project,as well as costs.As an example,a stormwater management plan was included as one of the conceptual projects for which the Primary Responsible Department is the Stormwater Division. While sharing similar objectives to the LMP,this SMP focuses on projects specific to stormwater management. Some actions outlined by the LMP and addressed in this SMP include the following: • Identify and implement projects to meet the TN and TP required reductions for the BMAP. • Identify areas of high nutrient concentrations and/or loads and implement nutrient reduction projects in those locations. • Indian River County 1-3 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 1.Introduction • • Implement projects to slow untreated freshwater flows to the IRL to reduce pulsed loading of nitrogen and phosphorus. • Support the private and public acquisition of new lands along the IRL shoreline and in key watershed locations for restoration,preservation and hydrologic connection. • Retrofit the nearly 100 outfalls to the IRL with baffle boxes,screens or vortex units to provide pollutant removal,where appropriate. Furthermore, several key metrics discussed in the LMP are reiterated as priorities to be addressed by this SMP. These include Water Quality,BMAP,Hydrology and Hydrodynamics,Best Management Practices, and Sustainability and Resiliency. 1 .2.3 Community Rating System Indian River County participates in the Community Rating System(CRS)administered by the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP),a program managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The NFIP provides federally backed flood insurance within communities that enact and enforce floodplain regulations.To be covered by a flood insurance policy(for the structure and/or its contents),a property must be in a community that participates in the NFIP.To qualify for participation in the NFIP, agencies adopt and enforce a floodplain management ordinance to regulate development in flood hazard areas. The main objective of the flood ordinance is to minimize the potential for flood damage on future • development,thus protecting people and property in the county.This ordinance has been effective in requiring new buildings to be protected from damage from the 100-year base flood.However,flood damage still occurs as the result of floods that exceed the base flood,flooding in low-lying areas, flooding in unmapped areas,and from flooding that affects buildings constructed before the community joined the NFIP. The NFIP established the CRS program to provide incentives for communities that exceed minimum requirements with their floodplain management programs. The CRS program aims to achieve three major goals: 1. Reduce damage to insurable property 2. Strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP 3. Encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management Under the CRS, communities are rewarded for doing more than simply regulating construction of new buildings to the minimum national standards.Under the CRS,the flood insurance premiums for a community's homes and businesses are discounted to reflect that community's work efforts beyond the minimum requirements of the program. This includes efforts to reduce flood damage to existing buildings,managing development in areas not mapped by the NFIP,protection of new buildings beyond the minimum NFIP protection level,preservation and/or restoration of natural floodplain functions, helping insurance agents obtain flood data,and public education related to flood insurance and risk. • Indian River County 1-4 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 1.Introduction The CRS program recognizes and awards credits for floodplain management activities in four categories: • public information,mapping and regulations,flood damage reduction,and warning/response. The aim of NFIP is to protect communities against flood damage and the CRS is a voluntary incentive program that awards discounts on insurance premiums for communities who exceed NFIP's minimum floodplain management standards(FEMA,2017)at the rates shown in Table 2. TABLE 2 CRS CREDIT POINTS,CLASSES AND PREMIUM DISCOUNTS CRS Credit Points CRS Class CRS Discount(Premium Reduction) 4,500+ 1 45% 4,000—4,499 2 40% 3,500—3,999 3 35% 3,000—3,499 4 30% 2,500—2,999 5 25% 2,000—2,499 6 20% 1,500-1,999 7 • 15% 1,000—1,499 8 10% 500—999 9 5% 0—499 10 0% SOURCE:https://www.femagov/floodplain-management/community-rating-system As of 2024,over 1,500 communities nationwide participate in the CRS program and 265 of those • communities are in Florida.IRC has been participating in CRS since 1992 and is ranked as a CRS Class 5 with 2,750 points,earning a 25%discount on flood insurance premiums(FEMA,2024). There are six Florida communities who have achieved a CRS Class lower than 5.For IRC to improve its CRS Class,at least 250 additional points would need to be earned, and it must be demonstrated that an effective regulatory program is in place to minimize flood losses,minimize increases in future flooding,protect natural floodplain functions,and protect people from the dangers of flooding(FEMA,2017). The CRS Program assigns points based on the following eligible activities: • Activity 420-Natural shoreline protection(NSP)—max. 120 points—protect the natural channels and shorelines and areas valuable for protecting the natural functions of floodplains. Local Policies adhered to on public lands or regulations on development on private lands.Lands must be in their approximate natural state;no dredging,channel alteration,riprap, levees,armoring,beach nourishment,dams,or human intervention that constrains the natural processes of the shoreline,river, stream,lake or ocean(CRS Manual,2017). The program does give credit for allowing alterations that benefit the floodplain like removing levees,restoring habitat,or planting to preserve shoreline,dunes, etc.as long as there is no reduction in floodplain function. • Activity 450 is broken into several parts. — Stormwater Management Regulations(SMR)—Max 380 points,Implementing regulations that involve stormwater detention/retention and/or promoting low impact development(LID). In • Indian River County 1-5 ESA/0202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 1.Introduction • addition to regulations,the community must also maintain stormwater management infrastructure. — Watershed Master Planning—Max 315 points,meeting all criteria of the WMP and managing runoff from the 10-,25-and 100-year event.No net impact due to new development. — Erosion& Sediment Control(ESC)—40 points,credits are awarded for requiring erosion and sediment control measures for land undergoing development within the County. For credits to be awarded,the community must require these measures for all construction sites,including buildings,roads,regrading,or other activity that disturbs soil. — Low Impact Development(LID)—25 points,utilizing Low Impact Design principles or Green Stormwater Infrastructure to control runoff and filter stormwater on existing and new development. — Water Quality(WQ)—20 points,new development over 1 acre must use infiltration trenches, bioswales and grass strips to polish stormwater before leaving the site. Therefore, focusing on Activity 450 Stormwater Management and Watershed Master Planning are approximately a 3:1 lift over Activity 420 Natural Shoreline Protection for CRS Points. This SMP aims to evaluate projects that will generate additional CRS Points for IRC.By improving the County's CRS rating from Class 5 to Class 4,IRC homeowners could potentially save an additional 5% on premium reductions.Applicability to Activities 420 and 450 are considered as evaluation criteria in the • rankings of projects,discussed in Section 7. 411 Indian River County 1-6 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft • SECTION 2 Basin Characteristics 2.1 Background This section characterizes the fundamental physical and hydrological attributes throughout Indian River County that directly influence stormwater management strategies.Understanding these basin characteristics,including geography,topography,soils,land use,hydrology,and floodplain areas, provides the context for the SMP and its proposed recommendations. 2.2 Geography Indian River County is located in Southeast Central Florida and is bordered to the north by Brevard County,Okeechobee and Osceola Counties to the West, St. Lucie County to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.Major geomorphic divisions of the Florida Peninsula were established by White (1970)1 and are adopted herein to characterize the geography of IRC.The County lies at the intersection of two(2)physiographic divisions(Figure 2). These physiographic divisions were formed by the rise and • fall of Pleistocene sea levels and represent former marine terraces and shorelines.The Osceola Plain is associated with the Talbot Terrace which formed approximately 125,000 years ago when sea levels were roughly 45-feet above current sea levels. The Eastern Valley is associated with the Pamlico Terrace which formed 11,000-100,000 years ago when sea level were approximately 25-feet above current sea levels. Further sub-divisions the two major physiographic divisions are based on topographic ridges and valleys formed by the gradual rises and retreats of Pleistocene sea levels. These subdivisions were delineated by cartographer H.K.Brooks(1981)2 and later digitized by the St.Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). Six such physiographic divisions or"subdistricts"occur within IRC(Figure 3). Within the Osceola Plain,a small portion of the Kissimmee Valley Subdistrict occurs in the extreme southwest portion of IRC and rises to meet the Holopaw-Indian Town Ridges and Swales Subdistrict to the northeast. The Eastern Valley contains the low-lying and poorly drained St.Johns Marsh and Sebastian- St. Lucie Flats Subdistricts.The St.Johns Marsh Subdistrict is bounded by ridges including the Osceola Plain to the west and the Upper St. Johns Karst to the east.The Sebastian-St. Lucie Flats Subdistrict is bounded by the Upper St.Johns Karst to the west and the Central Atlantic Coastal Strip to the east.

Significant geographic features within the Osceola Plain in Indian River County include the headwaters of several creeks such as Padgett Branch,Blue Cypress Creek and Gum Slough which drain the higher elevations along Talbot Ridge to the St.Johns Marsh and Blue Cypress Lake to the east. The majority of IRC occurs within the Eastern Valley physiographic division.The Eastern Valley within Indian River County is mostly flat with only two distinct topographic ridges: Ten Mile Ridge(Upper St. Johns Karst)and the Atlantic Coastal Ridge(Central Atlantic Coastal Strip). Prior to modern-day drainage,these mostly flat areas consisted of swampy,poorly drained land. Large swaths of flat terrain with little to no relief are present within the St.Johns Marsh and Sebastian-St.Lucie Flats physiographic sub-districts. Here,natural drainage consisted of poorly defined,meandering flow ways and/or interconnected ponds and marshes with little to no discernable flow. Significant geographic features within the Eastern Valley include the IRL and St. Sebastian Creek to the east of Ten Mile Ridge,and the St. Johns River Marsh and Blue Cypress Lake to the west of Ten Mile Ridge. 2.3 Topography Indian River County has a predominantly flat terrain typical of the Florida peninsula.A digital elevation model(DEM)compiled from the 2018 Florida Peninsular Project,recent United States Geological Survey (USGS)3D Elevation Program(3DEP),National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) Bathymetric Continuously Updated Digital Elevation Model Tiles,and USGS High Accuracy Elevation • data is depicted in Figure 4.Elevations are in North American Vertical Datum 1988(NAVD88). The latest LiDAR maps from 2019 were obtained.The County's topography is characterized by its subtle slopes and low-lying,broad basins with a few a few notable topographic features as described in USGS, 19753. The highest elevations in the county occur along a narrow four(4)mile-wide swath of the Holopaw-Indian Town Ridges and Swales Subdistrict which runs north to south across approximately 12.5 miles of the northwestern portion of the County.Elevations along this terrace within IRC reach heights of approximately 65 feet. The topography slopes eastward from this ridge down into the Pamlico Terrace which contains the St. Johns River Marsh,and three distinct ridges.Within the Pamlico Terrace, natural ground elevations range from 20 to 35 feet.The eastern edge of the St.Johns River Basin is bounded by Ten-Mile Ridge. This ridge runs parallel to the coastline roughly coincident with Interstate 95.Natural ground elevations along Ten-Mile Ridge are up to 35 feet. The Atlantic Coastal Ridge occurs immediately adjacent to the IRL along US Highway 1 and is the most prominent topographic feature in Indian River County.Natural ground elevations along the Atlantic Coastal Ridge are up to 50 feet. The South Fork of the St. Sebastian River lies between these two ridges within the Sebastian-St. Lucie Flats Subdistrict with elevations ranging from near sea level to 20 feet.The third ridge feature consists of the offshore barrier islands which are low-lying with elevations up to approximately ten(10)feet. 3 United States Geological Service. 1975.Water Resources of Indian River County,Florida.Water resources of Indian River • County,Florida(FGS:Report of investigations 80) Indian River County 2-4 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft a 45� r a sFiWs;Ri`yR � n V `„ , E.IS m � "" � .

Given the scale of the County and number of soil map units, soil map units were grouped by Great Group soil taxonomic class(a broader level of classification than soil series) according to the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS) (19994).This Great Group classification groups soils of similar pedological formation processes,the type and sequence of soil horizons and other physical properties. Soil Great Groups within IRC are provided in Figure 5 and discussed below. Soils within the Central Atlantic Coastal Strip Subdistrict are characterized by sandy to fine sand textured quartz sand entosols(Quartzipsamments)and mucky clay soils(Hydraquents) along the IRL.The dominant soil map unit is McKee Mucky Clay which occurs along terrestrial areas immediately adjacent to the IRL. The mainland portion of this Subdistrict is dominated by Alaquods including the Immokalee Sand and Myakka Sand map units which occur along the gentle side slopes of the mainland ridge.The highest elevations of the mainland ridge contain well-drained Quartzipsamments including Astatula Sand and St.Lucie Sand. The barrier islands are typified by relatively young Quartzipsamments with poorly • developed soil horizons.Dominant soil series include Canaveral Sand and Captiva Sand which occurs in lower elevations, and Palm Beach Sand directly along the coastline.Areas of sandy fill material are mapped as Quartzipsamments and are also common within the physiographic subdistrict. Soils within the Holopaw-Indiantown Ridge and Kissimmee Valley Subdistricts are dominated by Alaquods including Immokalee Sand and Myakka Sand which occupy the broad,flat expanses along the Talbot Terrace.Higher ridges and knolls contain well-drained Quartzipsamments,namely Satellite Sand. Drainageways, sloughs and creeks along the Talbot Terrace are typified by poorly drained sandy or loamy soils in the Argiaquoll,Glossaquolf and Psammaquent Great Groups. Typical soil series within these areas include Pompano Sand,Floridana Sand and Riviera Sand. Mucky textured soils in the Haplosaprist Great Group including Samsula Muck and Floridana Mucky Fine Sand are common within poorly drained and larger wetland areas. Soils within the Sebastian-St. Lucie Flats Subdistrict are typified by poorly drained soils with aquic (saturated)moisture regimes and shallow"hardpans"in the form of either an argillic(clay)or spodic (fine-textured organic-aluminum complexes)horizons which dramatically slow the downward movement of water. Dominant soils in this subdistrict include those in the Glossaqualf Great Group characterized by a shallow argillic horizon such as Winder Sand,Pineda Sand and Riviera Sand,and Alaquods with a shallow spodic horizon including Eau Gallie Sand,Wabasso Sand and Oldsmar Sand.Better-drained 4 United States Department of Agriculture. 1999.Soil Taxonomy:A Basic System of Soil Classification for Making and • Interpreting Soil Surveys.Second Edition.https://www.nres.usda.gov/sites/default/files/2022-06/Soil%20Taxonomy.pdf Indian River County 2-6 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 2.Basin Characteristics spodisols including Immokalee Sand and Myakka Sand are common along the slopes of the ridges that III bound the Sebastian-St.Lucie Flats. • III III Indian River County 2-7 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft • 0 E1 01 el O o 1 �" a .4 E w N O * It ill # m E A D J N E ,gy��Y G Or g 8 G E . . .tir410,-, a0 X W U �+" le � .= g , . ,0 ,:.r.:'.4'.4.1, .7.4.*-...-a.,•,,et,•,' ,,,,, ..- .. tk 08 4., '.;-.. • P iL (16-) !

Terra Ceia Muck is the dominant soil map unit and occurs in close association with the St John River marsh and areas around Blue Cypress Lake in the central portion of the subdistrict. This soil series has a profile entirely comprised of organic material to a depth of 65 inches.Gator Muck and Samsula Muck occur along the outer margins of the Terra Ciea Muck map unit and consists of a relatively shallow muck layer on top of sandy or loamy material. Canova Muck,in the Glossaqualf Great Group,occurs along the outer margins of the St.John's Marsh and is differentiated from the Haplosaprists by well-defined sub-surface horizons of sand underlain by an argillic horizon.Poorly drained Alaquods and Glossaqualfs including Riviera Sand,Pineada Sand, Wabasso Sand and Winder Sand are dominant along periphery theof the St. Johns River marsh. Soils within the Upper St. Johns Karst Subdistrict are characterized by sandy to fine sand textured soils. Alaquods including Immokalee Sand and M akka Sand occur along the length of Ten-Mile Ridge.Higher terraces along Ten-Mile Ridge contain Quartzipsamments,primarily Satellite Sand. The western side slopes and flats within the Upper St. Johns Karst Subdistrict contain poorly drained Alaquods and Glossaqualfs with shallow restrictive layers including Riviera Sand,Pineada Sand,Wabasso Sand and Eau Gallie Sand. 2.5 Land Use/Land Cover Land use and land cover varies across Indian River County and is closely related to topography and soils. In this section,land use and land cover is discussed in the context of physiographic regions given the correlation between dominant land uses and physical geography. Land uses throughout IRC have been • altered from their natural state,with abundant residential development along the east coast,and vast swaths of farmland dominating the low-lying valleys.Most of the natural land cover within IRC occurs along the far-western interior portions of the county and along Ten-Mile Ridge. The Cooperative Land Cover v3.8 (CLC)Map by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission(FWC)and Florida Natural Areas Inventory(FNAI)was analyzed by physiographic region. Figure 6 illustrates generalized land use by the CLC within IRC,with similar land uses grouped together. Dominant land uses by physiographic region are provided in Table 3. Significant variations in agricultural land classifications throughout IRC were observed when comparing different datasets: SJRWMD 2020 Land Use Land Cover(LULC), statewide generalized Florida Land Use and Cover Classification System(FLUCCS),FWC/FNAI CLC,and Florida Department of Revenue (FDOR)2024 parcels. These discrepancies most likely arise from differences in purpose,methodology, and timing of each dataset.The FDOR 2024 parcel data classifies agricultural land based on tax codes at the parcel level, including non-farmed areas within agricultural parcels. This dataset most closely resembles land uses by IRC Property Appraiser. In contrast, SJRWMD 2020 LULC,the statewide FLUCCS, and FWC/FNAI CLC v3.8 classify land based on observable characteristics from remotely sensed imagery,independent of property boundaries.The generalized FLUCCS layer uses broader categories and older data,leading to further divergence. The FWC/FNAI CLC v3.8 emphasizes ecological attributes,while SJRWMD 2020 LULC uses detailed classifications and higher resolution imagery. 1111/ Indian River County 2-9 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft H ..

Periodic field surveys and collaboration with local stakeholders can provide ground-truth data. Implementing a GIS-based workflow and encouraging property owners to report land use changes will help maintain accurate records and support informed land use planning and conservation efforts.It is recommended that IRC's Planning Division ensure that all lands with agricultural exemptions be removed from IRC's BMAP load requirements. 2.6 Hydrology and Drainage IRC falls within two(2)distinct drainage basins as defined by SJRWMD(Figure 7).The basin divide is roughly coincident with Ten-Mile Ridge with areas to the west of Ten-Mile Ridge lying within the Upper • St.Johns River Basin,and areas east of Ten-Mile Ridge lying within the IRL Basin.Natural waterflow through these basins has been highly altered to suit various land uses including agriculture and residential development. Scores of canals and hundreds of smaller ditches bisect these drainage basins. These two(2) basins are further sub-divided into eight(8)sub-basins as defined by USGS level 10 Hydrologic Unit Codes(HUC-10)(Figure 8). The Upper St.Johns River Basin contains four(4)HUC-10 basins. Three(3)of these basins including Blue Cypress Creek,Blue Cypress Lake-St.Johns River and Fort Drum Creek originate from the higher elevations of the Osceola Plain to the west and contain numerous creeks and interconnected wetlands that convey water generally eastward towards the St.Johns River Marsh and Blue Cypress Lake. The fourth basin;Melbourne Tillman Canal-St. Johns River,has a boundary roughly along the Brevard County- Indian River County line and has a nominal footprint within IRC. Water from within these basins flows north to the St.Johns River. • Indian River County 2-12 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft yO $ ,�. C Z"#p 3" '�".

This basin contains severalrominent man-made drainage features includingNorth P Canal near the center of the HUC-10 basin and Main Canal,in the southern third of the HUC-10 Basin. These canals and their extensive network of man-made tributary canals and ditches serve to drain the low- lying areas of the Sebastian-St. Lucie Flats east towards the IRL. The South Prong of the St. Sebastian River provides natural drainage for the northern half of the HUC-10 Basin. The southeastern corner of IRC lies within the Fort Pierce Inlet-Indian River HUC-10 Basin.The primary drainage feature within this basin is the South Canal,which,like North Canal and Main Canal,drains low- lying portions of the Sebastian-St.Lucie Flats east towards the IRL.Additional HUC-10 basins within IRC have minimal land area and include the West Belcher Canal Basin within the southern portion of the county, and the Indian River Shoal-Atlantic Ocean Basin which includes areas immediately along the coast. 2.7 Floodplain The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM)flood zones for IRC closely follow the terraces,swales and ridges of the physiographic regions within the County(Figure 9). Over two-thirds of the land area within IRC lies within the 100-Year Floodplain,with the majority of this area occurring within the St. Johns Marsh physiographic subdistrict. Significant portions of the Coastal Atlantic strip along the IRL, and Atlantic Ocean are also within the 100-Year Floodplain. The Sebastian-St.Lucie Flats contains broad areas within the 100-Year Floodplain,in addition to low-lying areas outside of the 100-Year Floodplain due to the extensive network of man-made drainage canals within this physiographic region.The Holopaw-Indian Town Ridges and Swales physiographic region has relatively unaltered drainage patterns • with numerous creeks, sloughs and interconnected wetlands accounting for the area within the 100-Year Floodplain. Table 5 provides the percentage of land area within each FEMA Flood Zone by physiographic region(see Figure 3 for the map of physiographic regions within IRC).A comprehensive flood study has not been completed to date for IRC. To aid in the process of applying for grants and other improvement efforts,it is highly recommended that an annual flood study be conducted within the County,to reduce flood zones A and AO each year.This would enable IRC to provide FEMA with updated modeling data and could potentially convert to AE elevations on future FEMA flood maps. • Indian River County 2-15 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft N.N N Mr/ le I I e x x 10 Zy2 g 4 o U gw g w2.. w 1 µw0- 0 0 0v+ w co N iL 0 a 0 Z_ Z_Q J -Ncii6in 'a tit<LW60QC1tV , .4." :4„.. .,,,w., .„.„1„,,, -,.,,izr=1„,,T..;,4,,,.'4,:.:-.:2'4;*.4.-11::' I '::S41:41tf*til.:g ,' , - ,..,°-... : CVZ 1 O y.�- }.a 044 .7, .rC I {f r1R, 97r r ' ' Nfw.i re yr w�v c tit�etel 'oto`.„ X Y�J�, »`, Y4L k1.Yom' »' laT",) , 104,991114,.)C. \'';:r‘:"!;:;'}'"'"‘ X: +-IA, 1.,.. ... , .,,,„ • -, "41 --,\,,,,, ‘ - 4+,,,,,,,s, 4,04%,, .. ,. , ,,,..„ - , ...s , ..... , .,_ ., ,,„. „'...x-re„ • ,:,..4\10:4Aw**4"....'8.+4,'#5.0.40:10.* 446,01,41".1‘,....\* , , /4444,46441,,';" .eiPs416.44 *********40%`,.... ..."..4441r latp•41. % ..

The portion of the lagoon adjacent to IRC is part of the Central IRL, for which a basin management action plan(BMAP)has been adopted to address the total maximum daily loads for total nitrogen(TN)and total phosphorus(TP) developed to recover the loss of seagrasses in that portion of the IRL. Originally adopted in February 2013,and updated in 2021,the BMAP establishes loads reductions required to be met by each entity within the CIRL watershed and identifies projects or other activities to meet these reductions.Within IRC,numerous projects have been identified through the BMAP that are either planned or underway by various stakeholders throughout the County. The CIRL BMAP is separated into four(4)project zones based on annual residence times: CIRL A,CIRL SEB,CIRL B, and CIRL SIRL.These project zones are shown in Figure 10,which was obtained from • the BMAP document via FDEP. Of these,IRC has permitted point and non-point discharges to CIRL SEB and CIRL B which have different CIRL BMAP load reduction requirements as shown in Table 6. TABLE 6 IRC CIRL BMAP REQUIRED LOAD REDUCTIONS(LBS/YEAR) Project Zone Total Nitrogen Total Phosphorus SEB 47,223 8,580 B 169,639 22,231 Total 216,862 30,811 Pollutant sources for CIRL include agriculture,municipal separate storm sewer systems(MS4s), septic systems,urban non-point sources, and wastewater treatment facilities.IRC is designated as a Phase II MS4 under permit number FLRO4E068.A Phase II MS4 is designated as such if any portion of the municipal stormwater management system is located within an urban area defined by the U.S. Census Bureau serving a population between 1000 and 100,000 as of 1989. Urban non-point sources within IRC,and particularly surrounding the areas of interest,include Fellsmere Water Control District(FWCD),Indian River Farms Water Control District(IRFWCD), Sebastian River Improvement District,and Vero Lakes Water Control District. Other municipalities contributing to nutrient loading are the City of Fellsmere, City of Vero Beach,City of Sebastian,Indian River Shores, and Town of Orchid.As mentioned throughout this SMP,there are several stormwater canals owned by IRFWCD throughout IRC which ultimately discharge into IRL. • Indian River County 3-1 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 3.Water Quality Assessment Additionally,smaller drainage structures exist that discharge into the lagoon,although the full extent of these structures and their ownership is not readily known.

The retrieved water quality data were primarily concentrated in the CIRL, Sebastian River and the Main Canal with sparsely spread stations throughout the watershed. These data allow us to track the trends in water quality over time. Those trends take into account the cumulative effect of changes from within the contributing area. An understanding of the spatial and temporal variation in the water quality of those waterbodies is a critical element in the plan development. These tests are performed using the Seasonal Kendall Tau (SKT)test for trend based on monthly data grouped by Waterbody Identification(WBID). The WBID polygon represents a waterbody segment and the contributing area to that segment. Each WBID is assigned a waterbody type and class. Waterbody types include estuaries streams,lakes,springs,coastal, and beaches.Waterbody classes include: • Class I or 1 —Potable Water Supplies • Class II or 2—Shellfish Propagation or Harvesting • Class III or 3—Fish Consumption;Recreation or Limited Recreation; and/or Propagation and Maintenance of a Limited Population of Fish and Wildlife • Class III-Limited • Class IV or 4—Agricultural Water Supplies • • Class V or 5—Navigation,Utility,and Industrial Use Class 3 waters may be marine (3M) or freshwater (3F). Data provided to the State for assessments are assigned to a WBID according to their geographic coordinates. These trend analyses identify which waterbodies are experiencing trends,either increasing or decreasing, in the various water quality parameters most relevant to the BMAP including: • Total nitrogen • Total phosphorus • Chlorophyll a • Dissolved oxygen ranalyzeda Monthly means of each of the parameters were used for the analysis.The period of reco d was 2016 through June 2024,inclusive.The results of the trends analysis are depicted as green and red arrows. Green indicates conditions are improving while red denotes degrading trends(Table 7). For many parameters,decreasing trends are indicative of improving conditions as concentrations decrease.For dissolved oxygen,the opposite is true,lower values are indicative of degrading conditions as lower concentrations of oxygen are less desirable. A black dash indicates that there is no trend, either improving or degrading. • Indian River County 3-4 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 3.Water Quality Assessment • TABLE 7 RESULTS FROM THE SEASONAL KENDALL TAU TREND TEST Total N Total P Chlorophyll a Dissolved Oxygen Waterbody(WBID) (mg/I) (mg/I) (pg/I) Main Canal(3153A) South Canal(3158) South Indian River(Below SR 60)(500363) , T �, South Indian River(Above SR 60)(5003C1) - T South Indian River(St.Sebastian River)(5003D1) W �, The two canal WBIDs(WBID 3153A and 3158)exhibit no trends with respect to the parameters analyzed.

The tool,which is based on the Spatial Watershed Iterative Loading Model(SWIL)developed for FDEP for tracking progress towards meeting the BMAP,will provide an estimate of the current loading estimate and potential reductions depending on the best management practice(BMP)proposed. This information will be incorporated into the project prioritization matrix to qualitatively rank the projects based on the projected load reduction potential. Each of the priority areas was ranked based on the current condition loads using the SWIL Load Estimation Tool(LET)3.0 developed for FDEP for the CTRL BMAP.The LET coverage was clipped to the priority areas polygons and loads were calculated using two methods; as a total load(lbs/year)and a normalized load(lbs/acre/yr). The proposed projects were then ranked by the BMAP project zone and subsequently,total nitrogen runoff load and normalized load respectively(Table 8 and Table 9). 111 Indian River County 3-5 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 3.Water Quality Assessment - �� Priority Areas ' Annual TN Load (lbs/ac/yr) czr <=2.5 2.5-5.0 5.0-10.0 r- r• 111111 10.0- 15.0 • 1111 a} 1' TTi AP�A�T C COLLEGE {S j IAN RO KRIDGE AREA CRAMIIMM 4TH ST. • •TH ST. a4 ° flt 1 1 t Figure 11 Annual Total Nitrogen Loads in Indian River County • Indian River County 3-6 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft •c as 11 mm ON m is.O to .- N CO V' to CO ' N ^o C W N CO of in t0 N c N W O a N mm To 2 2 6 COCo C. 4 t0 co_ al N 4) 0 Cl W.

These loads can be directly related to the loading allocations presented in the 2023 CIRL BMAP update which are also reported in lbs/year. The issue with this reporting unit though is its inability to make real direct comparisons between the priority areas as the load is dependent primarily on the size of the basin. To directly compare the loads generated by different priority areas of different sizes,the loads are normalized by the area of the priority area,in lbs/acre/year. This method allows for the identification of"hot spots"or areas of relatively higher loads than others that could benefit from additional management action. Table 8 and Table 9 present the total and normalized TN and TP loads for each of the priority areas. In terms of total nitrogen runoff load,the 4th& 8th Street priority area ranks highest in the CIRL B project zone with 1,350 lbs/year and Fellsmere ranks highest in the CIRL SEB project zone with 10,125 lbs/year. In the CIRL B Project Zone in terms of normalized loads,the 4th&8th Street priority area fell to third place and the 90th Ave project ranks the highest,with a normalized runoff load of 6.0 lbs/acre/year. In the CIRL SEB Project Zone,Fellsmere still ranks highest but by only 0.1 lb/acre/year. 3.4 Nutrient Load Reduction Options and Feasibility IRC has numerous existing wet detention ponds throughout the County which provide initial treatment for stormwater loads. The potential increase load reduction attributed to placing vegetated floating mats in the County-maintained ponds was evaluated. The SWIL BMP tool utilized by FDEP would credit the vegetated mats with an additional 10%reduction after the reduction from being a stormwater pond. The • comprehensive potential load reduction was derived by identifying a representative pond that is already credited by FDEP for the BMAP and extrapolate that result to the remaining 39 ponds(ponds shown in Figure 10). In lieu of current maintenance protocols of cutting and leaving in place,harvest and removal of vegetative growth including cattails could potentially provide some amount of nutrient load reduction. The East Gifford Stormwater Improvement Project was selected as the existing representative pond. The TN starting load was 388.1 lbs. The system's reduction was credited at 129 lbs. The remaining 259.1 lbs would be further credited by 10%,or 25.9 lbs. This system is one of the largest of the County-maintained ponds and was used as a conservative estimate for the other maintained ponds. Multiplying the additional 25.9 lbs by the remaining 39 ponds in IRC's inventory ends up with an estimated reduction of 1,010.5 lbs/year. This is likely an overestimation and assumes that each of IRC's ponds are designed as stormwater treatment systems. Another suggestion is to mechanically remove aquatic plants rather than use herbicides.Herbicide allows the dead vegetation to release sequestered nutrients back into the water column and wash downstream. The mechanical removal of vegetation allows for the complete removal of the sequestered nutrients and through proper composting can be used as a soil amendment. FDEP has recently approved granting credits for aquatic vegetation removal(FDEP 2023). For it to be credited,the practice must occur in freshwater canals and ditches filled with exotic/nuisance aquatic vegetation and not be considered a part of routine maintenance of an existing BMP.Native vegetation provides a habitat benefit and should not be harvested.Additionally,the amount of credit available is • Indian River County 3-8 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 3.Water Quality Assessment 111 based on several factors, such as the distance from a waterbody that the removed material is disposed of and the type and weight of the material removed. FDEP provides protocols for determining the appropriate amount of credit. There are additional pros and cons to vegetation removal.The removal of plant material could increase the volume in the canals and ditches for stormwater runoff.An additional improvement in waterbodies deemed impaired for nutrients due to the presence of excessive macrophytes could be potentially delisted since you remove the exotic plant material.Adverse effects include a short-term nutrient imbalance which may result in algal blooms.There will also be a short-term loss of habitat until native vegetation replaces the exotics. Floating aquatic mats and aquatic vegetation removal are scalable BMPs.Either or both could be implemented at County-maintained ponds to varying degrees to provide nutrient loading reduction for IRC.In addition to County-maintained ponds,BMPs,such as bulk removal devices, could be implemented at numerous outfall locations along the IRL, such as bulk removal devices. Two hypothetical scenarios were examined where two different bulk removal devices were deployed to remove nutrients at outfalls along IRL. Both locations were comparable in size and discharged directly to IRL.The devices selected were a hydrodynamic separator(vortex and continuous deflector separators (CDS)units)and a second-generation baffle box. The goal of the exercise was to gauge the effectiveness of these types of systems to reduce nutrients to the lagoon which could be used to look at other outfalls along the coast. 411 Starting loads were estimated using the FDEP Load Estimation Tool.The treatment areas were 85 and 94 acres respectively. The hypothetical analyses indicated annual runoff nitrogen loads of 325 and 249 lbs./yr and annual phosphorus loads totaled 44 and 39 lbs./yr,respectively.Using the FDEP estimated load reductions for each of the devices,the reductions for each of the systems can be calculated. The hydrodynamic separator is not credited with removing nitrogen but does provide a 10%reduction in phosphorus. The second-generation baffle box provides a 19.05%reduction in nitrogen and a 15.55% reduction in phosphorus.The results were averaged,and for an 89-acre site,the loads removed by the hydrodynamic separator was 0 lbs of nitrogen and 4 lbs of phosphorus.The baffle box averaged 55 lbs of nitrogen and 6.5 lbs of phosphorus removed. The results of the treatment scenarios are shown in Table 10. It should be noted that the efficiency of the baffle boxes can be increased with the use of a media filter. In addition,these devices could be installed at multiple or at all of the outfall structures across the IRL to maximize the water quality benefit. Multiple BMP options exist to provide some degree of water quality treatment for County-maintained ponds and outfalls along IRL. It is important to note that the results presented here are hypothetical and that load reduction amounts will likely vary if implemented. The actual results will be dependent on several factors,including the existing loading quantities being received by the stormwater feature to be treated.The advantage of these BMPs is their scalability and they offer the opportunity to retrofit existing infrastructure. Section 5 of this SMP further discusses these options. • Indian River County 3-9 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 3.Water Quality Assessment TABLE 10III RESULTS OF HYPOTHETICAL TREATMENT SCENARIOS Hydrodynamic Separators Direct Runoff Percent Removal Final Load Total Reduction Project Acres Area TN TP %TN %TP TN TP TN TP (lbs/year) (lbs/year) Reduction Reduction (lbs/year) (lbs/year) (lbs/year) (lbs/year) 1 85 325 44 - 10 325 40 0 4 2 94 249 39 - 10 249 35 0 4 Second-generation Baffle Box Project Area Project Area .

The County has a mix of infrastructure,consisting of three(3)dedicated stormwater treatment areas,40 County-maintained stormwater ponds,privately owned wet and dry retention areas,and drainage systems comprised of a combination of shallow swales,ditches,inlets,and culverts,most of which generally lead to canals that ultimately discharge to the IRL.Figure 12 shows an 411) overview of the major systems in IRC.Figure 13,Figure 14,and Figure 15 show the County's stormwater treatment areas.In some areas,particularly older neighborhoods,these drainage systems are often outdated,in disrepair,or undersized,and they are not well interconnected.As existing infrastructure struggles to cope with increased volumes of runoff,localized flooding worsens. Additionally,many of the existing systems do not include advanced water quality treatment features, allowing pollutants,such as nutrients from fertilizers and urban runoff,to flow into the IRL.All of these are factors resulting in inefficient management of stormwater. Multiple municipal surface water management districts exist within IRC,as discussed in Section 3.These include Indian River Farms Water Control District,Fellsmere Water Control District,and Sebastian River Improvement District.The IRFWCD,established in 1923,covers approximately 44,000 acres of primarily agricultural land west of Interstate 95,along with an extensive network of canals and drainage infrastructure all draining to the IRL.The district's primary function is maintaining this system of gravity-fed and pump- assisted drainage channels that prevent flooding,control water levels,and support agricultural productivity in an area historically characterized by seasonal inundation.IRFWCD has three(3)major relief canals, including the South Relief Canal,the Main Relief Canal,and the North Relief Canal. The Fellsmere Water Control District,located in the western portion of IRC,focuses on managing water resources for a smaller area in and around the City of Fellsmere.The district was established to support agricultural development and flood control.The Sebastian River Improvement District represents another significant component of water management infrastructure within IRC.This district focuses on the drainage and water control needs of the Sebastian area,managing water resources that impact both agricultural and residential lands.The district's systems interact closely with natural water bodies,including the Sebastian River and surrounding wetland areas.In addition,there are smaller agricultural water control districts within IRC,including Delta • Farms Water Control District, St.Johns Improvement District,and Vero Lakes Water Control District.

Coordination efforts with these stakeholders are summarized in Section 8. IRC has made substantial progress in improving and updating its stormwater infrastructure in the last couple of decades. In addition to the There are three(3)stormwater treatment areas within IRC: Egret Marsh,Moorhen Marsh, and Osprey Marsh.Egret Marsh, constructed in April 2010 for$7.3 million, removes dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus from eight to ten million gallons of canal water daily using a 4.6-acre algae farm.Moorhen Marsh,completed in 2023 and situated between 58th and 66th Avenue, processes up to 10 million gallons per day through 8 cells using a low-energy aquatic plant system that grows water lettuce to absorb nutrients. Osprey Marsh,operational since spring 2015,treats ten million gallons of canal water and 1.5 million gallons of reverse osmosis brine discharge daily,also utilizing a 4.6-acre algae farm. Osprey Acres was added to Osprey Marsh as an additional treatment train in 2019. Additionally,IRC operates the PC Main Screening System,located within the Main Relief Canal at the outfall of IRL. Beginning operation in August 2008 at a cost of$5.3 million,the facility removes particles as small as 1/16th inch in diameter,preventing thousands of tons of aquatic plants and debris from entering the IRL.Appendix A includes aerial imagery of each of these stormwater treatment facilities. While IRC has made efforts to address stonnwater issues,there is still great opportunity to retrofit existing infrastructure and explore new projects to both address the water quality in IRL and to improve flood resilience. • 4.3 Flood Impact Factors/Influences Several natural and human-made factors influence flood impacts within Indian River County. Topography is highly influential across IRC since the flat,low-lying terrain makes water accumulation easier, especially during heavy rainfall or storm surges. Areas near the IRL and close to sea level are particularly vulnerable to flooding. As discussed in Section 2, soils in IRC are primarily sandy.Although sandy soils have high permeability and tend to drain well,they are prone to erosion and have limited capacity to hold water,especially once already saturated. Combined with the likelihood of compaction due to development,the sandy soils in IRC are a factor to consider that impacts flooding in the area. In addition,changes in land use over time across IRC have increased the area of impervious surfaces. This has further reduced the ground's ability to absorb water, leading to more runoff and higher flood risks. The continued disruption of natural features such as wetlands and marshes further exacerbates this risk. Another influence on the frequency and intensity of floods within IRC is the increased occurrence of severe weather events as a result of changing weather patterns due to climate change. The risk is especially great when storms occur that exceed the designed capacity of drainage systems, combined with the prevalence of aging infrastructure throughout the County. Finally, sea level rise is a growing concern, particularly in areas of the County along IRL. The rising water levels reduces drainage efficiency which leads to more frequent flooding,especially during storm surges and high tides. • Indian River County 4-6 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 4.Flooding Assessment • 4.4 Flood Management Considerations 4.4.1 Sea Level Rise and Flood Resiliency Sea level rise(SLR)and flood resiliency are critical considerations in stormwater management,especially so in coastal regions like Indian River County,where low-lying areas are increasingly vulnerable to consequences from climate change. As sea levels continue to rise,traditional drainage systems become less effective,increasing the risk of chronic flooding,saltwater intrusion,and potential infrastructure damage. Effective planning of stormwater infrastructure improvements requires understanding and consideration of projected sea level rise scenarios. Indian River County's Vulnerability Assessment(TetraTech,2025) utilized Virginia Key Station due to the length of record for relative sea level rise trend.However,despite having a shorter record of data,the Trident Basin at Port Canaveral also has water level data from the last 20 years and is significantly closer in proximity to IRC. Figures 16 and 17 show that over the last 20 years,there has been an acceleration in sea level rise, and therefore the relative rate of sea level rise is more than double what it was earlier this century. These data are also consistent with the observations from the Sebastian Inlet District State of the Inlet Report, (Zarillo,2023). NOAA predicts between 10- 14 inches of SLR along the east coast by 2050(NOAA,2022). That means • the predicted rise in sea level over the next 30 years is more than the total amount recorded over the past 100 years as shown by the Virginia Key Tide Station. For coastal areas,this means: • Minor flooding is expected to occur,on average,more than 10 times as often as it does today,and can be intensified by local factors. • Moderate flooding will occur more frequently than minor flooding does today. • Major flooding is expected to occur five times as often as it does today. Predictions are based on the best available science and as much as the ability to measure water levels has improved over the last decade,we are sometimes surprised by results. Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024,mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms,or thermal expansion.According to NASA,last year's rate of rise was 0.23 inches(0.59 centimeters)per year,compared to the expected rate of 0.17 inches(0.43 centimeters)per year.2024 was the warmest year on record, so not only did more water enter the ocean from iceberg/glacial melt,but overall the sea levels rose due to thermal expansion,or the overall increase in the volume of water in the ocean due to the increase in average temperature over the oceans worldwide(NASA,2025). • Indian River County 4-7 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft E III N >- • 1 I 1 I ,..--i f ~Al . o i I . • I I N C _. i111 I I !

By expanding coastal buffer areas—natural,undeveloped,pervious areas along the Indian River Lagoon —the benefit is two-fold; not only does it increase the ability to capture and treat stormwater during times when there are lower water levels,but it also acts to absorb the effects of storm surge,king tides and alleviate sunny day flooding. The design of these areas requires the ability to manipulate the facility's control structures at varying elevations including in-line valves to prevent back flow into the facility. The County can key in on areas that are continually inundated on an increasing basis and potentially repurpose these areas for stormwater treatment/buffer areas to provide that extra capacity and increase flood resilience. • • Indian River County 4-10 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft • SECTION 5 Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management 5.1 Potential Projects for Indian River County The primary objective of this SMP is to provide IRC with potential solutions to generate BMAP credits and the secondary objective is to relieve flooding in the priority areas that will be subsequently discussed in Section 6. There are multiple potential projects that could be implemented at varying scales with the ability to accomplish both objectives. These include: • End treatments such as vortex or screening structures at outfalls,baffle boxes • Floating aquatic plant mats installed at stormwater ponds • Retrofits,reconnection,and establishing connections of drainage structures throughout IRC • Rain gardens • Establishing a stormwater treatment and storage area • Site-specific projects and recommendations are proposed for the nine(9)Priority Areas in Section 6 under each Area's Proposed Conceptual Improvements. 5.1 .1 End Treatments Implementing end treatments on existing stormwater infrastructure offers a versatile,scalable approach to improving the overall function of the drainage system within IRC.Targeted modifications and additions to existing infrastructure can enhance water quality,assist with flood mitigation and can be implemented incrementally, allowing for strategic investment of limited resources. Vortex structures are cylindrical or conical devices installed within stormwater systems that use centrifugal force to separate pollutants from stormwater flows.As the vortex spins the water, contaminants such as sediment,trash,and debris are forced to the outer walls of the structure and down towards the bottom of the chamber.A consideration for this type of treatment is that it often requires some level of minimum head pressure,so specific watershed characteristics and placement of vortex structures must be evaluated carefully before installation. Maintenance requirements include periodic inspection and cleanout of accumulated sediment within the structures. Figure 18 is a sample diagram of a vortex structure, sourced from the Vortechs®Guide from Contech®Engineered Solutions. • Indian River County 5-1 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management HIGH FLOW CONTROL • SWIRL CHAMBER , a 001 ' 4--N100.71;itt, 111 �q jr OUTLET PIPE ,'" x415 INLET PIPE tos- '� a LOUTLETCHAMBER LOW FLOW CONTROL FtOATAESt ES CHAMBER FLOATABLES BAFFLE WALL Figure 18 Vortex structure diagram from Contech®Engineered Solutions A similar treatment mechanism occurs with screeningstructures or baffle boxes. Screenin structures can g be installed at various points throughout stormwater systems,such as at outfalls or within channels. They • work by capturing debris using trash racksnets, screens,baffles,or other media,and allow cleaner water to flow out,reducing pollutants that enter Waterways.Water quality benefits derive primarily from the capture of visible pollutants like sediment,vegetation debris,and other floatable trash that would otherwise degrade habitat and water quality.These structures are particularly useful for controlling large volumes of stormwater runoff,reducing water pollution, and prevent clogging in drainage systems,which can help mitigate flooding by improving drainage efficiency.Like vortex structures,screening structures require regular maintenance consisting of routine inspections and cleanouts,especially following heavy rainfall events. In some municipalities,it has been discussed that screening structures specifically are more difficult and complex to maintain in comparison to vortex structures.Figure 19 is a sample diagram of a screening structure,sourced from Suntree Technologies,Inc. • Indian River County 5-2 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management • S SCREENING SYS t E144 PROVEN EXPER11 lOW WORK F,e TURBULENCE DEE! j Skimboss m MAX / 0 , • ion SEDIMENT CHAMBERS • Figure 19 Screening Structure Diagram from Suntree Technologies Similarly,baffle boxes are multi-chambered structures that remove pollutants through screening and sedimentation and can be installed in-line with existing pipes or at outfall locations. Inside the structure,a series of chambers separated by baffles or weirs slows water flow,allowing suspended solids to settle in the first chambers while screens capture floating debris in subsequent sections.Water quality improvements come from the removal of sediment,trash,and associated nutrients,with some advanced designs incorporating additional treatment mechanisms such as nutrient-absorbing media.Baffle boxes may marginally contribute to flood management by reducing downstream clogging of pipes and culverts. Maintenance requirements include quarterly to semi-annual cleanout of accumulated sediment using vacuum trucks,with access hatches needed for inspection and cleaning. Final design and location selection of baffle boxes would require knowledge of existing pipe sizes,flow rates,and overall basin characteristics such as drainage areas and site-specific pollutant loading. There are varying scales of applications for baffle boxes,from end-of-pipe treatments to major pieces of infrastructure.As an example,the City of Melbourne installed the largest baffle box east of the Mississippi River(Ferguson Waterworks). Cliff Creek Baffle Box is an in-line structure consisting of a skimmer,three sets of baffles,and a nutrient scrubber. It serves a 515-acre basin and is estimated to reduce 3,952 lbs/year of TN and 727 lbs/yr of TP,ata cost of$34.7,781,according to the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Performance Table 01 2025.Figure 20 shows an image of the baffle box being installed, • sourced from Indian River Lagoon News.

These mats provide a platform for aquatic plants to grow while floating on the water's surface. The plants' roots dangle into the water, where they filter pollutants such as nitrogen,phosphorus, and other excess nutrients that can cause water quality issues such as algal blooms. Floating wetlands help improve water quality by absorbing and breaking down these pollutants.Additionally,they can provide habitat for wildlife. In terms of flooding, the mats slow down stormwater runoff as the plants and their root systems act as a physical barrier. This can help to prevent flooding during heavy rainfall events. • Indian River County 5-4 ESA/0202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management 11111 There are several installations of floating aquatic plant mats in the Space Coast Area of a vendor specific material called BeeMats,by Ferguson Waterworks.An image of these floating wetlands installed in a pond,sourced from BeeMats, can be seen in Figure 21.These installations are primarily added to existing stormwater ponds.As an example,shown in Figure 22,the North Fiske Stormwater Pond floating aquatic wetlands project implemented by the City of Cocoa is estimated to provide 200 lbs/year of TN reduction and 32 lbs/yr of TP reduction,according to the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Performance Table Q1 2025. t h • Figure 21 Floating wetlands in a pond,sourced from BeeMats Irk tusgbol � ' f ° - '4' '','''e-r,-' t d �1 ' \..4. to :,e' Fe+ , Figure 22 Aerial image of floating wetlands at North Fiske Stormwater Pond in Cocoa, Florida(Google Imagery) III Indian River County 5-5 ESA/0202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management IRC owns approximately 40 stormwater ponds,according to their GIS records. The total nutrient removal • may vary,but as an estimation, floating aquatic mats would provide approximately 10%of reduction over and above the overall reduction already allocated for existing stormwater ponds.ESA has evaluated the impact of applying floating aquatic mats to three of the County's ponds in Vero, Gifford,and Vero Lake Estates. The BMAP credits for the 10%reduction on these ponds was then extrapolated to the other 39 ponds and the total for the County would be approximately 100 credits.While these remain an option,and every pound of credit helps,the initial cost and maintenance cost for this solution compared to the number of credits has it ranking lower on the primary focus. 5.1 .3 Retrofits / Reconnecting Stormwater structures throughout IRC have been built over several decades.Many of them now function in isolation,disconnected from the original watersheds they were designed to serve.Reconnecting these fragmented elements represents a significant opportunity to address both flood risks and water quality challenges. Connected drainage systems reduce flood risks through several mechanisms.These systems distribute water more evenly across the landscape providing multiple pathways for water to flow and reducing pressure on any single point in the network. Storage capacity is also optimized in connected systems. When culverts, swales, ditches,canals,and detention basins are linked,they can function as a coordinated network,with upstream structures holding water temporarily to reduce downstream flows. This approach can help to decrease peak flow rates during storms protecting infrastructure that might otherwise be overwhelmed. Additionally,water quality is benefitted by well-connected drainage systems. This reduces • stagnant water,increases interactions with soils and vegetation for nutrient uptake,and helps to control sediment transport and deposition. All these factors help to minimize pollutants being transported in waterways. Reconnecting drainage structures requires a multi-faceted approach.Physical reconnection typically involves strategic modifications to existing infrastructure. This might include replacing undersized culverts with larger capacity structures,removing barriers between swales and basins,or creating new channels to link isolated drainage components. In some cases,previously piped components may be returned to open channels that can more effectively connect to the broader system. Specific examples of retrofits and recommendations of connections to make are described as potential conceptual improvements for multiple Priority Areas in Section 6. This initiative would require substantial data collection and significant coordination among various stakeholders throughout IRC, including municipalities and private owners. Modeling may be needed to identify areas particularly lacking connectivity and to evaluate the flooding impacts of modifications to the system.Reconnections and retrofits could be accomplished incrementally, starting with Priority Areas identified by IRC.The quantity of potential BMAP reduction credits would be determined on a case-by- case basis for this initiative. 5.1 .4 Rain Gardens Rain gardens or bioretention areas are intentionally designed,man-made landscape features that serve as natural stormwater management systems capturing and filtering runoff from impervious surfaces like • Indian River County 5-6 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management • roofs,driveways, and parking lots. They are typically shallow depressions that utilize native plants with deep root systems established in specialized soil mixtures that enhance water absorption and filtration. Rain gardens help to intercept stormwater before it enters traditional drainage systems, slowing water movement,increasing infiltration and reducing runoff volume,all of which directly mitigate flooding risks.A sample schematic of a rain garden can be seen in Figure 23,sourced from the Massachusetts Clean Water Toolkit hosted by GeoSyntec.

They can be implemented across various scales,from small residential applications to large municipal or commercial installations and can be customized with plants specific to local ecosystems or tailored to target specific pollutants. They can also provide habitat in urban environments and offer aesthetic appeal to local communities. The Cocoa Beach Downtown Stormwater Improvement Project provides a relevant case study for stormwater management in IRC,addressing challenges common to coastal Florida environments. Implementing techniques such as rain gardens,pervious pavers,and exfiltration systems,the project demonstrated a method of treating stormwater that could be adapted to similar landscapes within the County. Figure 24 shows a snapshot from Google Street View of one of the planted depressions. For IRC,the project's key metrics provide important context for local stormwater management efforts.The 98.5%hydraulic retention rate,coupled with modest nutrient reduction(10%total nitrogen and 9%total phosphorus),offers a baseline for understanding potential performance of similar systems in the region. • Indian River County 5-7 ESA/0202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management The project's focus on the Indian River Basin and Banana River Lagoon watershed parallels IRC's critical III need to provide nutrient loading reduction to the IRL. :, 'I r / t 7 NV,,:-,,, ;,. • i*, :„... , „ ,,,,„„, : ,, . ,,,, _ : 1 --, Oft .----- - )001 ;'' w GoogleYA.° • Figure 24 Planted depressions along Minuteman Causeway in Cocoa Beach, Florida (Google Street View) 5.1 .5 Stormwater Treatment Areas A stormwater treatment and storage area(STA)is an engineered infrastructure system designed to manage stormwater runoff.These systems capture stormwater from surrounding land areas, allowing water to be temporarily stored,treated,and strategically released or filtered back into the natural environment. The primary objectives of STAs are to reduce the volume and velocity of surface water runoff,remove pollutants, and minimize the potential for water quality degradation from nutrient loading and property damage from flooding impacts. STAs can be a strategic infrastructure investment for areas where little drainage infrastructure exists or where existing infrastructure is unequipped to handle heavy rainfall exists,both of which are factors currently experienced by IRC. Within an STA,water quality improvement can be achieved through multiple treatment mechanisms. In its simplest form, an STA can be established as a retention basin that collects runoff,slows water velocity, and enables suspended pollutants to settle to the bottom. The system can further improve water quality with the addition of other treatments,such as vegetative filtration,media layers,and biological treatment methods.For example,native plants can be introduced for nutrient uptake, engineered soils can act as filtration media,and specialized organisms can enhance pollutant removal.Additionally,flood mitigation is another critical function of STAs. By providing controlled storage capacity, STAs can significantly III Indian River County 5-8 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management • reduce the risk of flooding during heavy rainfall events. They are designed to capture excess water then slow its movement and gradually release it at a rate that prevents the overwhelming of existing drainage systems. This is particularly important in low-lying areas with limited drainage, such as coastal regions with sandy soils,which are characteristics possessed by much of IRC.Finally, STAs can offer valuable habitat for wildlife in otherwise developed areas. Establishing an effective stormwater treatment and storage area requires a comprehensive approach from site assessment to construction and operation. Since IRC currently owns and operates three(3)existing STAs,as discussed throughout this document,the location for an additional facility must be considered carefully to maximize the efficiency of regional stormwater drainage.There are several Priority Areas where IRC aims to mitigate existing flooding impacts,therefore,establishing an additional STA within or near one of them is ideal. Initial site assessment involves evaluating local topography, soil conditions, hydrology,and environmental characteristics. The design process incorporates hydraulic modeling, treatment technology selection,and infrastructure planning. Implementation involves site preparation, construction of storage and treatment infrastructure,and installation of monitoring systems. Ongoing operation requires regular maintenance,performance monitoring,and adaptive management to ensure the system continues to effectively manage water quality and flooding risks.The most outstanding factor in evaluating this initiative is its high cost as a result of the land acquisition it would entail.The purchasing of land combined with costs related to design,modeling,and permitting efforts would constitute the most significant investment by IRC out of all options discussed in this SMP. As a case study,IRC's Egret Marsh Stormwater Park and Wildlife Sanctuary cost$7.5 million to • construct and costs around$200,000 in annual operations and maintenance(LMP). This does not include the purchase cost of the land. The park became operational in April 2010 and includes a 4.6-acre algae farm.Figure 25 and Figure 26 sourced from Indian River County show an overview of the park and its processes.Egret Marsh is estimated to reduce Total Nitrogen by 8,550 pounds per year and Total Phosphorous by 2,331 pounds per year.Even accounting for the factors,costs,and the extensive timeline this initiative would require,the immense benefits it offers in terms of BMAP credits and additional stormwater storage puts this option high on the ranking of potential projects. • Indian River County 5-9 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management 10 MGO FROM • LATERAL D CANAL SCREENED ALGAE PUMP STATION r 1 t SETTLED i 4.58 ACRE ALGAL HARVEST WATER --y ALGAE TURF SCRUBBER POND PRIMARY DECANT WATER POLISHING POND POLISHING POND RECYCLE PUMP STATION / INTERMEDIATE4��// LATERAL C CANAL TO INDIAN RIVER POLISHING POND �G+/ LAGOON TREATED / WATER / I Capacity:10 MGD FINAL POLISHING WOOD STORK POND > HABITAT Construction Cost -$7.28 Million EGRET MARSH STORMWATER PARK FLOW SCHEMATIC Figure 25 Egret Marsh Stormwater Park Flow Schematic,from IRC COMPOST PAD AiVr,` ; A. / -4*":" or Y.- ' HAR T"WATER { � � POND RY a :. - `..�, Ali NURSERY "" FINALPOLISHING :e" ,N POND p0{�* INTERMEDIATE POLISHING POND l WOOD STORK HABITAT AREA Figure 26 Aerial image and schematic of Egret Marsh Stormwater Park,from IRC 1111 Indian River County 5-10 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management 5.2 Operation and Maintenance Practices Routine maintenance and operating procedures on existing and proposed future stormwater infrastructure can increase the efficiency of structures for both water quality and flooding impacts. One of the greatest factors limiting IRC from attaining a well-functioning stormwater management system is the lack of maintenance of County-owned infrastructure. This is due to understaffing as well as the absence or limited amount of maintenance equipment,both of which are a result of insufficient funds.The drainage system throughout IRC has been installed over several decades,with incomplete documentation and unclear ownership boundaries between IRC,municipal,and private entities.Therefore,it is highly recommended that IRC invest in a comprehensive survey of the existing structures and drainage easements throughout the County to establish a GIS database of stormwater infrastructure. Subsequently, IRC should develop a comprehensive maintenance schedule and asset management system,invest in proper equipment,and attain sufficient staff to begin to restore and maintain County-owned infrastructure.This sequence of tasks should be prioritized to accelerate the progress of stormwater improvements and aid the development of future projects. 5.2.1 Survey and GIS Database Throughout IRC,there is uncertainty regarding what stormwater infrastructure exists,who owns it, and its condition, all of which contributes to delayed maintenance of these structures or no action at all.A comprehensive survey cataloging all stormwater infrastructure potentially under IRC's jurisdiction, including swales,easements, culverts,outfalls,tide gates,ditches,and canals,is essential to creating a • robust GIS database,which is the foundation for facilitating maintenance and improvements of the County's infrastructure.ESA has compiled an initial GIS database of stormwater infrastructure throughout the County,but it has not been field verified and requires further investigation of ownership. In addition to conducting an inventory of existing structures,bathymetric survey on canals could be useful to evaluate the potential for increasing storage and measuring the rates of sediment infilling.Topographic survey of ditches and swales would be similarly beneficial. Canals,ditches,and swales may need to be re- measured periodically to account for erosion,deposition,or settling over time.Additionally, surveys should incorporate elevation and dimension measurements of structures, such as invert elevations and sizes of culverts.This would allow IRC to establish a hydraulic network in GIS which would enable stormwater modeling,further facilitating the IRC's ability to assess inundation risks and evaluate future improvements. Once this inventory is completed and drainage basins can be mapped,IRC can conduct a comprehensive analysis to determine which of their stormwater ponds installed after 2009 are not currently catalogued by FDEP and have the potential to receive nutrient reduction credits. Conducting this survey will require coordination with neighboring municipalities,including City of Fellsmere,City of Vero Beach,City of Sebastian,and other water control districts within IRC,as well as consultation with private property owners and historical records research. Survey work should account for tidal cycles to inspect outfalls in IRL and along canals during low tides.Legal counsel involvement may be necessary to resolve ownership questions through property records and historical maintenance patterns. The database's schema should accommodate uncertain ownership designations while still enabling effective management. In addition,the database must be maintained by documenting stormwater infrastructure from new developments. • Indian River County 5-11 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management Along with aiding in the task of collecting an inventory of assets a GIS database will assist in developing • a maintenance schedule. Conducting survey and establishing a GIS database will identify critical vulnerabilities of the drainage system in IRC,particularly aging and underperforming structures contributing to flooding. This initiative addresses the fundamental uncertainty of the extent and ownership of stormwater infrastructure throughout IRC and would enable the County to move forward with stormwater improvement projects. 5.2.2 Maintenance Schedule for Stormwater Structures Regular maintenance of stormwater structures would help to accomplish both primary objectives of this SMP, improving water quality and enhancing flood protection. For example,regular vegetation removal also removes nutrients from stormwater,thereby improving water quality. Sediment removal from drainage channels helps to maintain their capacities,keeping the system functioning properly and reducing the risk of flooding. A systematic maintenance program should establish appropriate inspection intervals based on each structure's condition,criticality,and along IRL in particular,coastal-specific issues such as sand accumulation and saltwater corrosion.Additionally,maintenance of any new infrastructure projects must be incorporated into the schedule. Implementation of a maintenance schedule will require specialized equipment. The purchase of an aquatic tractor(e.g.,Weedo,Truxor)or Menzi Muck Machine with a brush cutter attachment would assist greatly with the removal of cattails and other weeds and debris in the County's ditches,canals,and within IRL. Additionally,a street sweeper would help to remove nutrients from roads and prevent them from entering waterways. Supplementary equipment that IRC may consider for maintenance includes vacuum trucks for • sediment removal from baffle boxes and culverts,water quality monitoring instruments,and corrosion- resistant replacement components. With the acquisition of such equipment and the establishment of a routine maintenance schedule,this initiative would require additional investments in personnel. This would entail either hiring multiple full-time employees(FTE)to drive the aquatic tractor and street sweeper(such as a Heavy Equipment Operator)or the hiring of a regional contractor with this specialized equipment to perform maintenance. With IRC's limited maintenance resources,a public reporting system could supplement scheduled procedures while encouraging community engagement.A platform enabling residents to report observed stormwater issues could provide real-time intelligence on failures and developing problems across the drainage network.The reporting system should include mobile and web-based interfaces with mapping capabilities,photo submission options,and status tracking.Educational components should help users distinguish between normal post-rainfall conditions and reportable issues requiring intervention. The importance of establishing an inventory of IRC's drainage assets and implementing a routine maintenance schedule with both adequate staff and equipment must be emphasized. Beginning work on other improvement projects discussed in this SMP without addressing the lack of maintenance of existing structures and working to correct it is an impractical and inefficient use of resources. It is highly recommended that IRC first invests in long-term sustainable stormwater management through obtaining survey,hiring staff,and acquiring necessary equipment. • Indian River County 5-12 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management 5.3 Funding Sources Significant and reliable funding will be necessary to execute the management measures proposed within this SMP.Once secured,funding should be allocated for the various solutions discussed in this SMP according to their level of priority. In addition to prioritizing maintenance of existing infrastructure as discussed in the preceding section,the establishment of a land acquisition fund is critical for IRC's Stormwater Division to have the ability to seize land opportunities as they become available. This fund would greatly hasten the timeline by which stormwater management projects could be implemented throughout the County. Implementation of this SMP will require stakeholder and community support through coordination and a variety of financial resources.A combination of securing federal,state,and local funding,and creating public-private partnerships is encouraged. Such partnerships are recommended because government jurisdiction will not necessarily be confined to the County owned/managed boundary,and partnerships can better facilitate the available resources.Examples of partnerships include arrangements between landowners and governments,or collaboration between civic groups and government.Together,public and private entities can explore financial assistance opportunities such as grants and cooperative agreements. Funding across an entire watershed is a challenging endeavor,and some financing alternatives are better suited for targeted areas.By leveraging multiple funding opportunities amid organized partnerships,the success of the SMP implementation can be maximized. Policies and local ordinances such as those discussed in the subsequent sections are designed to ensure • regulatory compliance with state and federal stormwater management requirements and to establish a sustainable and equitable funding mechanism for stormwater projects. 5.3.1 Local Funding 5.3.1.1 Stormwater Utility Fee A stormwater utility operates similarly to a water or electric utility and collects fees associated with the controlling and treating stormwater(Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)2009).A stormwater utility would provide stable,long-term support of stormwater management through equitable and transparent funding.Fees may be based on the parcel size,property type,and/or the degree of impervious area,or fees may be fixed in a specific geographic area.For example,lots within a residential development may be subject to predetermined stormwater user fees,which are not a function of the lot characteristics. Property owners could also earn credits or be subject to surcharges as a function of stewardship. Individuals who implement on-site attenuation or related Low Impact Development measures could experience reduced fees. In contrast,those that increase industrial activity or modify the land use in a way that negatively impacts stormwater management could see an increase in fees.Additionally,certain roadways,rights-of-way,or undeveloped areas may be exempt from fees. The utility fee generally appears as an individual bill,as a line item on a water and/or sewer bill,or as a component of property tax bills. This revenue source would support the stormwater utility with planning and executing programs that address stormwater issues identified within County.Citizens might not be educated or knowledgeable regarding issues related to local water quality and stormwater management.As such,it can be expected that they would likely approach the development of a stormwater utility with skepticism. Extensive • education and outreach would be needed to support the successful implementation of a stormwater utility. Indian River County 5-13 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management The stormwater utility fee should be assessed annually,with fees applied based on property impervious 1111 area classifications. Revenue will be used for ongoing maintenance,infrastructure improvements,and compliance with environmental regulations. In July 2022,the Vero Beach City Council approved the implementation of an annual stormwater utility (SWU)fee aimed at funding projects to reduce flooding and improve water quality,particularly benefiting the IRL(City of Vero Beach FAQ). The fee is determined based on the amount of impervious surface on a property—such as roofs,driveways,and patios—which affects stormwater runoff.For single-family residential properties,the fee structure is divided into tiers: • Small(100- 1,300 sq ft): $30.07 annually • Medium(1,301 -3,400 sq ft): $75.17 annually • Large(3,401 -6,500 sq ft): $135.31 annually • Very Large(over 6,500 sq ft): $239.00 annually These fees are calculated using the Equivalent Residential Unit(ERU)method,where one ERU represents 3,972 square feet of impervious surface.Non-residential properties,including those that are commercial,institutional,municipal,and so on,incur stormwater fees based on the quantity of impervious area within the property. Their stormwater fees equal the amount of impervious surfaces divided by the billing unit value of 3,972 multiplied by the rate of$75.17 per ERU. The stormwater assessment appears under the non-ad valorem section on property tax bills.All property owners within the City of Vero Beach,regardless of tax-exempt status,are required to pay this fee,as all properties contribute to stormwater runoff. The associated revenue is exclusively allocated to stormwater-related 11/ projects. The City of Vero Beach's fee is set at the lowest dollar amount of$0.58 per ERU per month,but generated$99,000 in 2024(FSA SWU report). If the number of homes in a given area is a good indicator of the coverage of impervious surfaces,then an expansion of the same ERU across all of Indian River County can be expected to generate approximately over$1,125,000 annually to fund stormwater management projects. Comparably,Bay County is relatively the same size as Indian River County in population and number of residential/non-residential units. In 2024,Bay County had a Stormwater fee revenue of$1,920,080. Bay County has an average$3.33/SWU/month fee and neighboring Brevard County charges $5.33/SWU per month. So,there is precedent for charging a higher rate to support the stormwater program's initiatives. In fact,Bay and Brevard County's fees were below the average rate per month of$8.86/SWU for the entire state of Florida. 5.3.1.2 Property, Sales, or Other Taxes (General Fund) The use of public"general funds"to fmance projects is how IRC currently funds the stormwater division and their projects(stormwater budget is a part of the Transportation fund which comes from the General Fund).Another major source of funding is the gas tax.Each year stormwater projects,expenditures and budget items compete with maintenance and construction projects county-wide for funding and no dedicated source of continuing and consistent funding exists. This can limit the success of funding SMPs as these programs are often considered less essential than priorities such as police,fire, and emergency medical personnel and therefore are also vulnerable to budget cuts(Spitzer 2010). • Indian River County 5-14 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management • 5.3.1.3 Impact Fees Impact fees are paid by developers(usually at the time of development)to obtain a building permit. The fee is designed to reimburse the government for the additional impact a development may have on the community.They may be for transportation(i.e.,increased impact on roads and bridges as a result of constructing a development),water and sewer(i.e.,the impact on the system capacity as a result of increased volume and demand), as well as other public infrastructure impacts.Typically,a direct relationship between the development and the impact fee must exist.These fees must often be authorized by statute and are used for capital improvements,not for maintenance.They are a one-time,up-front charge for new construction(Muslim 2010). 5.3.1.4 Property Management Program Based off the Florida Department of Transportation(FDOT)Office of Right of Way program,this would need to be set up by the County to purchase lands that are strategically located at key points throughout the County or in the floodplain and of continual risk to flooding. The County could acquire property and then enter into a leaseback program with the original owners.The residents can continue to live or operate their business at the location for a mutually agreed upon term until the County is ready to construct the project,or a natural disaster impacts the property causing damage requiring repairs. The benefits of this project are twofold: 1) The property owner gets market value for their property and is able to continue to live there or operate their business while searching for a new home or place to establish their business. If the • property owner tries to sell after being impacted by a storm or natural disaster generally they are not receiving full market price or are facing insurmountable construction costs before being able to place the property on the market. 2) The County can continue to plan large scale projects that may take 5-15 years to design,permit and secure funding.During that time the property values may be steadily increasing making property unrealistic. 5.3.2 State Funding The EPA State Revolving Fund(SRF)loan program offers a reliable source of funding(Berahzer 2010). There are separate SRF programs for"Clean Water"and"Drinking Water."Funds are provided annually to each state by the federal government with the states providing a 20%matching amount.To receive funding,a project must be on the state's annual"Intended Use Plan"(IUP)list. The IUP contains a "comprehensive"list and a shorter"fundable"or"priority"list.A public comment process is required for the IUP. Since 2007,the SRF has moved beyond the traditional"water treatment works"projects and has begun to emphasize nonpoint sources and estuary protection as funding priorities.Projects that strengthen compliance with federal and state regulations and enhance protection of public health are eligible for consideration to receive SRF loans. There are also benefits to obtaining such funding.The engineering, inspection,and construction costs are eligible for reimbursement if a project qualifies. Protecting Florida Together is an assembly of state grants available to local governments and NPOs to implement projects that improve resilience,stormwater treatment and water quality.

Residents may apply for a Small Business Administration Loan to cover their portion of the project cost. Additionally,IRC's Local Mitigation Strategy Workgroup voted to allocate 30%of the County's 411 Hurricane Milton Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding balance toward the Elevate Florida program. Temporary relocation for residents during construction is also covered under the program. 5.3.3 Federal Funding Federal funding opportunities, such as grants,revenue sharing,and loans,can be pursued through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,U.S. Geological Survey,U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,and the U.S.Department of Agriculture. These funding opportunities can be used by public and private entities to execute the measures proposed in the WMP.Funding opportunities can be located and applied for through the federal portal at Grants.gov. The EPA announced a$3.75 million grant to support local projects to protect and sustain healthy watersheds(https://www.epa.gov/hwp/healthy-watersheds-consortium-grants-hwcg). EPA has made an official award to the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, Inc. (Endowment)to support the coordinated efforts of the Endowment and its partner organizations.The Healthy Watersheds Consortium Grant Program goal is to accelerate strategic protection of healthy, freshwater ecosystems and their watersheds(http://www.usendowment.org/partnerships/healthywatershedsconsor.html). The EPA also supports the Five-Star Restoration Program by providing funds to NFWF,the National Association of Counties,National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Community-based Restoration Program, and the Wildlife Habitat Council. These groups are then able to make subgrants to support community- based wetland and riparian restoration projects. Competitive projects must have a strong on-the-ground habitat restoration component with long-term ecological,educational,and/or socioeconomic benefits to • Indian River County 5-16 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management • the people and their community.Preference is given to projects that are part of a larger watershed or community stewardship effort and include a description of long-term management activities."Projects must involve contributions from multiple and diverse partners,including citizen volunteer organizations, corporations,private landowners,local conservation organizations,youth groups,charitable foundations, and other federal,state,and tribal agencies and local governments"(Private Landowner Network 2015).It is desirable that each project involve at least five partners who are expected to contribute funding,land, technical assistance,workforce support,or other in-kind services that are equivalent to the federal contribution. The EPA provides numerous resources to support funding procurement for stormwater projects.Their Water Finance Clearing House and Water Infrastructure and Resilience Finance Center serve as a database and assistance center,respectively,to locate funding opportunities and support local decision- makers regarding stormwater infrastructure. Additionally,the Clean Water State Revolving Fund provides low-cost financing for a variety of water quality infrastructure projects.Beyond the traditional acquisition of funding,the EPA also recommends that communities explore establishing a stormwater utility. The revenue generated by the stormwater utility can be used as match-money for applying for stormwater grant funds,and making each fee dollar go further to serve the residents of the IRC. Implementing these policies of the SMP will ensure a sustainable funding mechanism for stormwater projects in Indian River County. The stormwater utility fees will provide a dedicated, equitable,and transparent funding source to achieve the program goals. • 5.4 Cost Analysis Projecting costs for capital expenditures helps to quantify the stormwater management plan funding needs and timing the rollout of new equipment, staff additions and project implementation. Costs are separated into three categories: 1) Planning,Design&Engineering Costs—These costs are an estimate for data collection, design, permitting,bidding and construction monitoring.Based on the size and complexity of the project these costs generally range from 5%to 45%of the overall project cost. 2) Direct Costs—Costs borne by the County to acquire equipment,hire additional staff, coordinate with internal County divisions,conduct real estate/easement transactions,and cover legal fees.Direct costs of most need for the County include a Heavy Equipment Operator to operate and maintain a Vacuum Truck and a Menzi Machine. This position would require a$55,000 to$75,000 budget line item per year including benefits.As the program grows a second Heavy Equipment Operator(union equivalent position)will likely need to be added as maintenance efforts ramp up. The County should plan to hire a project manager position with the increase in project implementation in this 5-year plan. This staff hire should be$110,000 to$170,000.A vacuum truck will cost approximately$500,000 initial investment with a$5,000 per year O&M cost and a 10-year total replacement cost.Menzi Machine would cost approximately the same,$500,000.Direct costs to the County in year 2025,would be$1.2 million. The cost for land acquisition, specifically for stormwater projects and/or coordination of easements,is a substantial direct cost.These costs have been included in each of the priority projects,but will need • a direct allocation from the Stormwater Utility Fee in order to build funds that are available to tap into Indian River County 5-17 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 5.Strategies for Improved Stormwater Management as properties that are suitable for stormwater projects come onto the market. Collaboration with other 111 municipalities and stakeholders often requires easement coordination and there are assessment and legal costs associated with completing these transactions. 3) Project Costs—these are the Capital Improvement Costs per project. ESA has compiled 2025 costs from the FDOT Historical Index,RS Means Gordian Software,and projects of similar type,size and scope recently bid by other municipalities and water management districts.Per the Engineering-News Record(ENR)the average annual construction cost increase has been 3.8%over the past 5 years.And while this increase has cooled off in the recent year,if we look at the previous 5-year span from 2016 through 2021 the average annual construction cost increase was 2.8%. In 2025 costs,to perform at least 1 project in each priority area would cost approximately$14 million. For comparison, according to FDEP's Success Stories webpage,the Cocoa Beach Downtown Stormwater Improvement Project cost$5,100,458.24 to construct in 2021.Additional documents including the design plans are available on that webpage.In addition,IRC's own Osprey Acres Flowway and Nature Preserve Project,fmishing construction in 2019,had an estimated capital cost of$7,500,000 and has annual maintenance costs of$87,000,according to the LMP. The priority project costs have been factored into the project ranking matrix and detailed cost estimates are included in the Appendix E.Based on the planning,direct and project costs,IRC should anticipate a cost of approximately$17 million to initiate the highest ranked project in each Priority Area presented in this SMP. To implement the lowest cost option for each Priority Area,the cost would be around$14 million.Note that this value is at the low end of typical cost estimates within this management plan.At the highest end,it would cost approximately$77 million to implement the costliest project in each • Priority Area,including establishing stormwater treatment areas. 411 Indian River County 5-18 ESA/0202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft • SECTION 6 Priority Project Areas 6.1 Priority Flood Areas IRC identified a total of nine(9)Priority Areas based on previous flooding concerns that this SMP focuses on(Figure 27).This analysis examines the existing stormwater systems,their capacity to handle various storm events,and limitations that may contribute to flooding. This was accomplished through a combination of desktop review of GIS data,historical reports,Environmental Resource Permits(ERPs) from SJRWMD,topography,and site visits.Additionally,proposed conceptual improvements for each of the Priority Areas will be discussed in this section. Photographs of site visits are included in the Appendix,along with selected ERPs and summary statistics of parcel data from each Priority Area. The Priority Areas vary in size and in their land use,ranging from residential to commercial to mixed use. Many of the residential areas contain older homes with outdated drainage infrastructure,or none at all. The Fellsmere Priority Area is the largest of the Priority Areas,followed by 4th Street and 8th Street and then Rocicridge.Larger areas will require a significant investment to alleviate flooding concerns compared to areas like 90th Avenue for example,which is limited to a specific corridor where localized • conceptual improvements can be implemented.The proposed conceptual improvements presented in this section vary in significance of cost and extent of relief.Table 12 provides a summary of the Priority Areas,their challenges and recommendations.

It was conveyed to ESA that Fire Station 7 has experienced flooding and thus,the northwestern portion of this Priority Area has been the specific area of focus for this SMP. The existing infrastructure within 90th Avenue consists of shallow swales,ditches,underground culverts, stormwater ponds,and canals along 201 Street and 16th Street. Sub-Lateral R-2 and Sub-Lateral R-3,both belonging to IRFWCD,run along 16t Street and 20th Street,respectively. The closest and most prominent stormwater pond to Fire Station 7 lies west of it,between 90th Avenue and Interstate 95. The pond is owned by the hotel group in the area based on reviews of ERPs in and around 90th Avenue.This pond,hereafter referred to as the Hotel Group Pond,is part of the stormwater management system permitted via SJRWMD under ERP#18840. The system was originally intended to serve the neighboring 17-lot commercial subdivision including the Fairfield Inn and Suites and Home2Suites by Hilton and the permit has had multiple modifications and sequential permits issued since its initial approval in 1997.The most recent of these was ERP#18840–8,a modification issued to Petroleum Marketing Group for the 7-Eleven constructed there in 2024.There is an additional pond in the • southern portion of the Priority Area at the center of several commercial and industrial buildings,along with what appears to be a canal draining into it,which is permitted via SJRWMD under Management and Storage of Surface Waters(MSSW)permit#18657– 1. 6.1.1.2 Site Visits During site visits in August 2024 and January 2025,ESA identified several inadequacies in the existing infrastructure.Figure 29 shows the particular focus area examined during the site visit.First,there was sediment accumulation in culverts and pipes,particularly within structures belonging to the Amoco fuel station and Dunkin' Donuts in the northern extent of the priority area along 20th Street. Behind the Howard Johnson Inn hotel at 1985 90th Avenue, standing water was observed in multiple locations, including in storm drains in the parking lot and in swales slightly further east of the hotel along Americana Way.Vegetation was noted in the swales during site review activities.There was a berm impediment separating the swales and inhibiting the flow of water from heading north towards the Sub- Lateral R-3 canal along 20th Street. At Fire Station 7, shallow swales were seen along the perimeter of the property and comprise much of its drainage system;there was a deeper ditch along the northern border of the property that appeared heavily vegetated. There were no inlets connecting the swales to the culvert system across the southern side of Americana Road. It is assumed that the swales were intended to connect to the swales north of the Fire Station—those mentioned previously,along Americana Way behind the Howard Johnson Inn—that seem to drain north to Sub-Lateral R-3 at 20th Avenue. Overall,it was concluded that the poor drainage in the area is concentrated east of Americana Way and west of 90th Avenue and may be contributable to • isolated stormwater systems.

Overall maintenance is recommended on structures within the 90th Avenue Priority Area since multiple structures were overgrown with vegetation, filled with sediment or cracked or damaged in some instances. Owners would need to be engaged individually to facilitate the maintenance since they are privately owned. Table 13 is a summary of the conceptual improvement factors and their impacts at a glance. TABLE 13 90TH AVE.CONCEPTUAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS Option Description Water Quality Timeline Feasibility Difficulty/Costs Option 1 Install culvert and outfall structure at Low/medium Medium $818,750 southwest corner of Fire Station 7 Option 2 Convey water north towards the canal Low Medium $794,400 along 20"'Street Option 3 Convey water south towards the Low Medium $746,600 canal(s)south of Fire Station 7 Option 1 is to install a culvert and outfall structure in the area southwest of Fire Station 7. During heavy rainfall,this would allow excess runoff from the existing swales to disperse and avoid accumulation that hastens flooding.An inlet would be placed at the southwest corner of the Fire Station parcel and a culvert installed to cross beneath Americana Road and continue southwest,towards a new outfall.There are two • (2)possible locations for the outfall,either to the Hotel Group Pond,or to the open field between the pond and Fire Station 7,also owned by the hotel group. The field could potentially serve as a dry detention area for excess runoff during storm events. Option 1 also presents an opportunity to connect to existing underground drainage on the south side of Americana Road,further enhancing connectivity of the overall drainage system in the area.The first step towards pursuing this option would be to engage with the landowner(s)and determine their willingness to participate in the project.The pond's capacity for any additional volume would need to be determined to evaluate feasibility. Survey of existing structures in the area would be required to design the conveyance system for this option,including sizing, lengths, and materials. Regarding water quality,this option could potentially reduce nutrient loading from the drainage basin if it is determined that the pond still has any treatment capacity,which is dependent on its chemistry. At a minimum,permitting efforts would involve either a modification to ERP#18840—2 for the master stormwater system belonging to the hotel group,or a new ERP application. Option 2 is to convey water north towards Sub-Lateral R-3 canal along 20th Street by re-grading the berm impediment separating the swales along Americana Way. This would restore the hydraulic connectivity along the eastern side of Americana Way and allow excess runoff from the Fire Station to diffuse throughout the drainage system.Re-grading the shallow swales at the Fire Station could also be considered as part of this option to improve conveyance towards the north. Coordination and permission with the Howard Johnson Inn,IRFWCD,and other pertinent landowners would be required for this option and is the first step to determine feasibility. Survey of existing structures and of the earthen berms would be needed to design and prepare construction documents for this option. Permitting would most likely also be a component of this option. • Indian River County 6-6 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas • Option 3 is to convey stormwater towards the ditches south of Fire Station 7. Like the other options,this would allow excess water from heavy rainfall events to flow away from the Fire Station which would help to reduce flooding. The ditches appear to be smaller than Sub-Lateral R-3,but they are much closer to the Fire Station,and they connect to the Hotel Group Pond.The ownership of the drainage easement where the ditches are located must be determined for this option to be initially evaluated and the owner's agreement to engage in the project.An updated survey of existing drainage structures,ground elevations, extents and depths of the ditches would need to be obtained to fully evaluate and design this option as well as to determine permitting requirements.

This area can be seen in Figure 31. IRL is approximately 2,000 feet away from the eastern edge of this Priority Area,across IRB. There are residential homes comprising most of the Priority Area, and at the southern boundary there are two apartment complexes,Indian River Apartments and Palms at Vero Beach,each with on-site retention ponds.As a result of its close proximity to the lagoon,this Priority Area is heavily impacted by tidal influences,particularly during full moon and king tides.This factor combined with the area's low-lying terrain makes Rockridge particularly prone to flooding. The existing stormwater infrastructure in the Rockridge area consists of culverts,canals,and shallow swales along property edges of residential homes,in addition to the ponds noted at the apartment complexes.There are canals along 16th Street and along 14th Street that both discharge directly to IRL, and a smaller canal along 13d'Street that is open channel west of the apartment complexes and continues underground toward IRL. In general,all drainage structures in this area flow east towards IRL. In 2006,a surge protection study titled Rockridge Subdivision Surge Protection Project by Malcom Pirnie identified several potential drainage improvements including flap gates,sluice gates,tide-flex check valves,a tilting weir gate within the 14th Street canal east of IRB,a stormwater pump station along the 16th Street canal, the construction of a soil berm barrier,hydraulically connecting canals between 16`h Street and 3rd Avenue,and a stormwater pump station. Some of these improvements were permitted under ERP • #108217— 1,although none of them were implemented. There is a mobile home community east of IRB just outside of the Rockridge Priority Area, south of which is a natural wetland and marsh area.A portion of that natural area is associated with wetland mitigation from the development of Indian River Apartments,according to an MSSW Individual Permit #4-061-0139 issued by SJRWMD in September 1994. The entire area is owned by Indian River Apartments,according to the IRC Property Appraiser website. City of Vero Beach(COVB)is currently conducting their Vulnerability Assessment(VA)and published a draft in January of 2025. Storm event modeling was performed as part of the VA and multiple scenarios were assessed for 100 and 500-year storm events,sea-level rise, storm surge,and various tidal conditions. The model boundary includes three(3)areas identified as priorities by IRC: Rockridge, 37th Street, and portions of Indian River Boulevard.Based on these modeling efforts,the COVB has identified an area directly north of IRC's Rockridge Priority Area,encompassing one of the City's wastewater treatment plants,as Focus Area 2. The Rockridge area has some level of inundation in every scenario, including Current High Tide. Per communication with COVB to be detailed later in this SMP,the wastewater treatment plant may be relocated,providing a potential opportunity for stormwater treatment planning in that area. Ongoing coordination and determination of plans the COVB has for Focus Area 2 may affect the outcome of IRC's corrective actions for Rockridge Priority Area. • Indian River County 6-9 ESA/0202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas gib "' m,, a "� <k. . -,,S; '1 W,,1'de's. .-7.. y -4: • s 17th,Stlkl.. , r !y . we! w "'** .....

These include the canal crossing at 16th Street,in particular,the concrete headwalls of the culvert and the surrounding riprap;drainage swales south of 16th Street along the western side of IRB,which were filled with standing water; and an outfall structure on the eastern side of IRB,which was submerged at the time of the visit and was later recognized as the outfall of the culvert shown in the construction drawings associated with the MSSW Permit#4-061-0139 for Indian River Apartments. The culvert is 42"and runs from the swales on the western side of IRB to this outfall location.The presence of standing water in these structures is contributable to the tidal influence from IRL which further strains the limited capacity of the existing drainage system. See Figure 32. West of Indian River Boulevard and north of Indian River Apartments,the immediate area of 16th Street and 3rd Court were evaluated during the initial site visit,as shown in Figure 33.The channel along 16th Street is covered by turf grass west of 3'Court and opens into the canal east of 3rd Court onward towards IRL.During the site visit, several pipes were identified terminating in 16th Street Canal,including one coming from along 3rd Court. Some shouldering of sediment along the canal banks was observed. Maintenance is recommended to control sediment and vegetation along 16th Street Canal. The homes on 3'Avenue appeared to be situated the closest to the channels out of most of the residences in the area, and there is little to no elevation change between the homes and the channel banks. It appears that these homes are among the most susceptible to flooding impacts out of the entire Rockridge Priority Area. • Finally,there is a channel along 3rd Avenue running north from the 14th Street Canal which is not connected to the 16th Street Canal. Connecting these channels was considered as a potential option for proposed conceptual improvements;however,this concept has been repeatedly evaluated in the past,and it was concluded that connecting these channels may further exacerbate flooding in the Rockridge neighborhood. • Indian River County 6-11 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6 Priority Project Areas •rt"' "'4*' *-f*,),...

Option 1 through Option 3 are unlikely to provide major reductions in flooding but are presented as options that could be implemented sooner than the others. Option 5 represents the best option to alleviate Table 14 is a summary of these potential options and an assessment of these factors at a high level. TABLE 14 ROCKRIDGE—CONCEPTUAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS Option Description Water Quality Timeline Feasibility Difficulty/Costs Option 1 Raise Invert Elevation of 42"Culvert Low impact Short term $1,071,600 Option 2 Add additional pipe across IRB Low impact Short term $1,141,600 Option 3 Attach backflow prevention devices Low impact Short term $778,200 Option 4 Construct stormwater treatment area High impact Long term $25,688,800 Option 5 Establish rain gardens Medium impact Long/medium $1,660,200 Option 1 is to raise the invert elevation of the 42"culvert across Indian River Boulevard running • between the swales on either sides of the road,west or east. This option may reduce flooding impacts by allowing water in swales to stage up and store larger volumes of water before popping over to discharge across IRB. It is unlikely that Option 1 would have any impact on water quality since it would only marginally increase the conveyance of water to IRL. The amount by which to raise the culvert is not determined due to several unknowns,including the existing invert elevations on either end of the culvert and its condition since it was submerged during site visits.The age of the culvert is also unknown, although it was called out as an existing structure in the plans from 1994, so it is likely at least 30 years old. To accomplish Option 1,a survey would need to be obtained to evaluate elevations for the culvert and to assess its full extent. Easements would need to be acquired by IRC from the owner or otherwise authorized entity,which is likely to be either Indian River Apartments or FDOT. Confirmation of ownership of the culvert and swales would be required to proceed with Option 1. FDOT seems to have jurisdiction over IRB itself, and another consideration is the impact to traffic along IRB which would require a Maintenance of Traffic plan since it is a major road. Modeling efforts may be required to evaluate this option's impact on surrounding areas and to determine the amount by which to raise the culvert, and an ERP may be needed to execute this option.As an initial assessment, Option 1 would likely provide little relief to the flooding in this Priority Area and is presented as a short-term alternative with lesser implementation costs than some of the other proposed options. Option 2 is to add an additional pipe across IRB,the size and placement of which is to be determined. The pipe would begin in the swales on the west side of IRB and discharge potentially into the natural wetland and marsh area east of IRB,owned by Indian River Apartments. Option 2 would likely have a greater impact on the flooding conditions within Rockridge than Option 1,since it would convey more water and • Indian River County 6-14 ESA/D202300072.01. Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas • provide another discharge location. This option would be evaluated based on a survey of the existing culvert,topography of the swales,and possibly some modeling to determine any flooding impacts on surrounding areas. Similar to Option 1,this option would be contingent upon agreement from landowners. Figure 34 shows an approximate diagram of the proposed conceptual Option 1 and Option 2. Option 3 is to attach backflow prevention devices to the existing culverts on the west side of Indian River Boulevard. Installing devices such as a Wapro or Tide Flex valves would help to reduce backflow from IRL at higher tides.A similar option was proposed in the Rockridge Subdivision Surge Protection Project. The condition of the existing culverts and their ability to hold these devices would need to be assessed by a licensed structural engineer.There would be little impact on water quality since this option neither reduces nor increases discharge to IRL. Option 4 proposes the construction of a stormwater treatment and storage area somewhere within the vicinity of the Rockridge Priority Area. Out of all options,this would have the greatest impact out of all options on both flooding concerns and water quality and is preferred as the best option to prevent the encroachment of floodwaters on residences by conveying water there instead of to the canals and IRL. Simultaneously,this option is by far the costliest since it would require IRC to purchase land to establish the treatment and storage area. See Section 5.1.5 for further elaboration on stormwater treatment areas. Option 5 is presented as an intermediary alternative and proposes the installation of rain gardens in areas throughout the Rockridge Priority Area.This option may be more feasible than Option 4 since IRC could acquire smaller easements for attenuation, and because available land is scarce in the area.Although this • option does not provide significant volumetric storage to alleviate flooding,it would help to slow down water to prevent overwhelming the drainage swales and canals and may provide a small water quality credit.In addition,rain gardens would also provide an aesthetic benefit to the community. See Section 5.1.4 for further elaboration on rain gardens and their benefits. • Indian River County 6-15 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft ° '..‘ 1'1' A ----: 6 Priority Project Areas 0 Rockridge Area- 1, �� A.It ig't ' I -1.0"%r ED (SR60 to 12th St.) ESA Identified a .

College Lane adjoins land consisting of various uses,with residences to the north.According to IRC staff, the residential area including Charlotte Avenue,Hedden Place,Fiora Lane,and Sixty Oaks Lane experiences flooding during heavy rains as water sheet flows from these areas south towards College Lane.At its northeastern end, College Lane leads to businesses such as Home Depot,Marshalls,Petco, and multiple restaurants.Along the south of the road are institutions including Indian River Community College and Indian River Charter High School.Most of the plats along College Lane are owned by Indian River College,particularly along the western side and south side,while plats on the eastern side are primarily commercial.Much of the western side of the road remains pervious undeveloped areas that appear to be agricultural. In addition,at the southeastern end of College Lane are several currently undeveloped parcels classified as Vacant Commercial land per IRC Property Appraiser. In the residential streets north of College Lane,the existing infrastructure consists of shallow swales along the front of the properties and ditches running north-south behind the properties.The roads are mostly flat except for a gentle downward slope towards College Lane.Along College Lane,there are • multiple culverts,swales,and ditches that appear to convey water towards various retention ponds for which ERPs were reviewed as part of this analysis.The ERPs in the vicinity of College Lane consist of those that are part of Indian River Community College development,those issued for Indian River Charter High School,and an ERP#26179-1 for the master stormwater plan to accommodate discharge from the shopping centers northwest of the road,henceforth referred to as the Home Depot Pond.Note that east of the Home Depot Pond,at the farthest eastern side of College Lane,southwest of its intersection with 58th Avenue,an ERP#26179-3 was issued for a 7-Eleven Store,although it expired in 2023 and was not constructed. The vacant commercial parcel currently appears to be for sale. According to the East Indian River County Stormwater Master Plan(year unknown),a 2001 SJRWMD Storm Water Management Model(SWMM)showed the IRFWCD Main Relief Canal to have flooding and potentially erosion during a 100-year storm event in the areas just south of College Lane. • Indian River County 6-17 ESA/0202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft E, n 0 CO ,a a ) a 7 cn o m > s o_ '� N W co t T anbr yiBS a rn n I s al*f �"` I , ° "' 2 ,..,..`� 7'-'""` a ,p . ., -*:, < ' lit { Q W -p Asp et i - 1110i4, ,. , '''1'4'' .4:+,-.4 d 11 i Ili I a i m ;w T �E. v 4 ; yf ts r }0 ... yd , , aM^ffixrmF1F 't la/ .' +,,,,,w ww: t .k i ,HCl riM i l) ': ,.1 1.e _t'''V:,": e!.i = t it .�� @ i ?_.

At the time of the visit,the ditch was mostly dry,but some water was present upon walking to the ends at the north and south. The ditch was heavily vegetated. The vacant commercial parcels southwest of the intersection of College Lane and 58th Avenue were also walked and examined during the initial site visit. The residential streets were walked,and it was observed that the residences were low-lying and most had very shallow swales in the front of them,parallel with College Lane.A low spot was identified between 1935 and 1955 Hedden Place,and between 1946 and 1956 Hedden Place.It was discussed by IRC,that this may have been associated with a drainage easement as it appeared to be a ditch running west-east between the homes. The ownership and full extent of this ditch is unknown. In 2025,ESA revisited the neighborhood north of College Lane and walked along College Lane. Several structures were examined,including inlets,culverts,ditches,and swales. Some inlets had standing water at the time of the site visit,and some structures appeared to be disconnected along the southern side of College Lane. It was noted that swales near Indian River Charter High School were separated by driveways.The ditches behind the residential streets did not appear to connect to any drainage components along College Lane. 6.1.3.3 Proposed Conceptual Improvements • There are multiple options that could improve drainage throughout the area of College Lane and alleviate flooding concerns in the residential areas. Table 15 summarizes these potential options. TABLE 15 COLLEGE LANE—CONCEPTUAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS Option Description Water Quality Timeline Feasibility Difficulty/Costs Option 1 Connect and restore existing structures Low Medium $580,500 Option 2 Route stormwater to new ponds Medium Medium/long $683,200 Option 3 Regrade ditches Low/medium Medium $711,400 Option 1 is to connect the existing structures along College Lane to restore the intended hydraulic function of the drainage system(Figure 37). Creating a connection between the ditch east of Sixty Oaks Lane to the swales on the northern side of College Lane would both improve flow and increase storage volume in the area. On the south side of College Lane,installing a culvert beneath the driveways at Indian River Charter High School to connect the swales would help to convey water more freely there. Additionally,adding a culvert to convey water from north to south across College Lane would further expand storage volumes and alleviate excess runoff from the residential areas.There may be a slight water quality benefit to connecting these drainage system components by reducing stagnant water. To begin,updated survey would be needed to evaluate the impact these changes would produce and to determine exact invert elevations and slopes. This option would require easements to be obtained at the various places where structures are located. • Indian River County 6-19 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft :3 0 O N t' N O a oa L N 0 N LJ CO s" 4 0 ' N�q • y '° Yom._ 1 . -Es • r,,,'" ' 1' r :t., :, , , ,,,,,,,,,,i, , , ,e0,#:#141.......sal . ,...„ ... , (• , ,.:::,,,,f,,,,,juli I - .1 ''!••',.--.1 fi. „ ■ ,at d . 4 t3 , A >-, „ sok , ., ., ,— ,.. , , . . . , 4 , it. ,,,„ i gyp+ s.tF. ilL .�}x.,. {'y' x. • ,rte A It, #" #` a C ^vawrrn ;,le'::•:111,'',.. te,...;4...''!.t.e.1:e_. .,, i 101 - x 5 ,, r °4 F f 3 rR Vii;*. t - <,a .m.,, . • - (0 k L .4. lilir (T) a.

This option is similar to Option 1 in that it would require connecting structures across College Lane, so an updated survey would be needed along with easements from landowners to work on the drainage components. The Home Depot Pond would need to be evaluated to determine its storage capacity,if any;the chemistry of the pond would need to be examined and considered to determine the impact on water quality.A modification of the ERP#26179-1 would most likely be required for this option,which would entail significant coordination with SJRWMD. Hydraulic modeling may be needed to ensure that the modification does not adversely impact the original permitted system. Option 3 is to regrade the west-east ditch in the neighborhood north of College Lane to improve the conveyance of stormwater to the north-south ditches between the streets(Figure 39).This option also proposes re-grading the ditch along Sixty Oaks Lane to improve stormwater conveyance north to 20th Street and south towards College Lane.Like Option 1,this option would include a connection of the Sixty Oaks Lane ditch to the swales along College Lane.Option 3 largely benefits the residential area north of College Lane where the main area of concern is since it would allow excess runoff from homes to be conveyed off of residents'properties.This option would be contingent upon the landowners'willingness to engage in the project. Survey of the ditches would be required to determine design slopes and elevations. • • Indian River County 6-22 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft •g L' o El N. 01 Q o ' N M 0 y o °c w coa. a.

There are several undeveloped parcels at the southeastern corner of the road and east across IRB. IRL is just east of these parcels,approximately 2,200 feet away from the intersection of 37th Street and IRB. Most of the undeveloped parcels across IRB are privately owned by Indian River Land Trust,according to the IRC Property Appraiser website. There are two parcels about 1,500 feet southeast of 37th Street owned by Indian River County,which appear to be used for mosquito control based on a desktop review of ERPs in the vicinity of 37th Street. Vero Beach Regional Airport occupies the area immediately west of 37th Street,just across US Highway 1. The COVB VA identified the airport as Focus Area 1,an area containing a vulnerable asset and prone to flooding.Like the Rockridge Priority Area,IRC should consult with COVB and consider any plans they may have for that Focus Area prior to deciding on fmal corrective actions to address the flooding there. The existing infrastructure in the 37th Street Priority Area consists of ditches and culverts running east and west along 37th Street,on both the north and south sides of the road. Stormwater is generally conveyed • east towards IRL.An ERP#40739—5 was issued by SJRWMD to Indian River County in 2021 that permits the construction of a 0.45-acre dry retention pond located at the southwestern intersection of 37th Street and Indian River Boulevard to serve a 1.3-acre basin off of 37th Street. The ERP is associated with roadway improvements near the intersection of 37th Street and IRB which are not yet constructed. These improvements are referred to as Project IRC-1910 on the Infrastructure Improvements Projects webpage. As of April 2025,construction has not started for the project. 6.1.4.2 Site Visits During site visits ESA staff verified the locations of some stormwater structures and ditches along 37th Street Priority Area. At the time of the site visits,in both August 2024 and January 2025 there was standing water in the ditches along the length of the street. This standing water could indicate that the system is tidally influenced as a result of its proximity to IRL.At the northeastern end of 37th Street,a concrete culvert structure was identified going east towards Indian River Boulevard(Figure 41).The same structure was identified on plans dated 2017 for the ERP#18729—5 which specified the dimensions as an 84"x 48"box culvert with inverts of-1.70 ft North American Vertical Datum 1988(NAVD 88)and -1.74 ft NAVD 88 at the other end of the outfall on the eastern side of Indian River Boulevard. • Indian River County 6-25 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 7,.k, W.+., i.w' O N Qi1/4 Indian Riw ,� ? o AI a a. i. 03 co O v7 .E. •eta a^. t V 1 Mla- • ' 0 . s'. s, f 49 a • • Cr. ,. } • ;111'11 il'37't .

Several culverts were observed,and it was noted that the structures are generally well-connected,but some maintenance could be beneficial to control vegetation and to monitor the condition of the structures. 6.1.4.3 Proposed Conceptual Improvements Several opportunities have been conceptualized as possible options to provide flood control and improve water quality in the vicinity of 37th Street Priority Area. It should be noted that the 0.45-acre dry retention pond has not yet been constructed, and the addition of that stormwater treatment area will have an impact on the hydraulic function of the corridor. Overall,maintenance including vegetation removal and repair of cracked culverts is recommended to ensure the existing drainage system is performing to the best of its ability. Table 16 summarizes the proposed conceptual improvement options for 37th Street Priority Area. TABLE 16 37TH STREET—CONCEPTUAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS Option Description Water Quality Timeline Feasibility Difficulty/Costs Option 1 Increase storage and/or discharge volume Medium/High Long $465,300 at eastern end Option 2 Hold back water on the western side using Low Medium $985,600 stepwise system Option 3 Establishing a bioswale Medium Short $777,700 Option 1 is to increase the storage capacity or discharge volume on the eastern limits of 37th Avenue. This • could be accomplished by expanding the 0.45-acre pond expected to be constructed there,or by expanding the conveyance capacities of either the proposed or existing infrastructure to allow more excess runoff to be discharged east towards IRL.Water could be discharged towards the undeveloped parcels east of 37th Street,or southeast towards the IRC owned parcels. This would help to alleviate flooding by providing additional storage volume to hold excess runoff from 37th Street and could have some water quality benefit by treating a larger volume of runoff. There are limited options for conveying water outside of the Priority Area limits due to its proximity to the City of Vero Beach,so coordination with COVB as well as engagement with the private landowners would be needed to increase discharge outside of 37th Street.A modification of ERP#40739—5 would be required to expand the capacity of the 0.45-acre pond or to add an additional outfall structure and approval must be obtained from SJRWMD. This permitting effort could require modeling. Figure 42 shows the location of the proposed stormwater pond which could be used for storage for Option 1. Option 2 is to implement a stepwise drainage system to hold back more water on the western side of 37th Street that can be stored before release towards the east during heavy rainfall events. This could be accomplished through a combination of installing various structures and by altering invert elevations of existing structures. This could help to reduce flooding impacts on the eastern downstream end of 37th Avenue by slowing it down and preventing it from staging up there during heavy storm events. There is likely little water quality benefit to be gained by this option. The feasibility of this option depends on the capacity for additional storage on the western side of 37th Avenue. Existing invert elevations are currently unknown, so survey would need to be obtained to determine the configuration of a stepwise system. The ownership of drainage components are currently unknown, although it seems that IRC controls the road • Indian River County 6-28 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas • since they are facilitating the improvements on 37th Street with Project IRC-1910. To execute this option, coordination with landowners would be required along with easements to be obtained from the authorized entity holding jurisdiction over the swales. Permitting through SJRWMD may be needed,which could also require modeling. Option 3 is to establish bioswales in the existing ditches along 37th Street.This could help to prevent flash flooding at the downstream(eastern)end of 37th Street by slowing down stormwater and would have some water quality benefits by increasing nutrient uptake.Like Option 2,this option would also require engagement with the respective owners of the roadside swales,which would be the first step.Full topographic survey may not be required for this option,but some assessment would be needed to catalog the existing vegetation in and around the ditches and to develop a planting plan.Out of the proposed options,this one is the least cumbersome but is also likely to have the least impact.Figure 43 shows approximate placement of Options 2 and 3. • • Indian River County 6-29 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft l0 C NO • r N 64 .g „iii; , 4.. ,,.. /7; . .. cti �J ♦♦♦ ems\, �11 � : , / ./ as \\ J /r r �♦ �c � ,::: , ...� i ,,,,,o,,\ ' %,, \,._ ;,:, Air 4 t �y 1'V Ai" .00I 4 I ` .-----'-0\'\. 4 .I, ''''',-,'14,',,:'..:'''',' / 4', 40,0 - -': t,,,,, , si , , , ..,,,byt,'.•.=.:,-,:, / ' ` ill C9��' - `st* I tt� tf. r--- — .� -7 ::: , ry. • I} Ft } I o s y b :Tr_ ics-EcD rz.:1,._;:'''f.. --- — ' tl W 43 !.,;•3 I J °r F a F3- ri m € x r. k to �` U C E 0 ♦ 7 d �� z w (-)1 p) 2 w • • O NN OT Si . 1 E mr o'a :a cpm `i r 'm.

The area is residential,and homes are low-lying. The blocks of residences in the northeastern corner are approximately 300 feet by 500 feet and the remaining Priority Area has blocks that are about 1 mile by 0.25 miles in size.There has historically been flooding in Fellsmere which is why it was included as a Priority Area by IRC,and it is the largest Priority Area out of the nine(9)areas to be evaluated as part of this SMP. The topography within Fellsmere,like many of the other Priority Areas,is primarily flat.A 1-meter resolution LiDAR dataset is available for some of the Priority Area,but it is missing in the southern portion of the Priority Area. There is a publicly available Digital Elevation Model(DEM)at a resolution of 1/3 arc second for the areas where LiDAR is missing. The existing drainage infrastructure consists of shallow swales along property lines connected by small culverts and water is conveyed to larger ditches,mostly along the roads dissecting the Priority Area from west to east, such as 91"Street, 89th Street, 87th Street, 85th Street, 83rd Street,81"Street,and 79th Street. Note that these are dirt roads. There are larger canals along the perimeter of the Priority Area, specifically along 77th Street at the south,running west to east,and another running north to south along 141"Avenue and continuing south past the end of the road. The canal along 141"Avenue is called Park Lateral in online maps from SJRWMD. 4110 There are several ERP permits within the area of interest,consisting mostly of permits for the drainage swales for the roads,owned by IRC. The area east of Fellsmere Priority Area is permitted under ERP #92262— 1 for a future 3,500-acre development of various land uses;this permit expires 12/13/2030. In addition,there is an ongoing ERP#18578—4 for 19,729 acres of an agricultural surface water management system consisting of pumped and gravity drained basins issued to the Fellsmere Water Control District in the areas south and west of this priority area. This permit appears to have additional modifications proposed that are still under review. A neighborhood just east of Interstate 95 known as Vero Lake Estates has a similar drainage system for which a Master Drainage Plan was developed in the late 1990s.The plan consisted of expanding the existing ditches,re-grading of roadside and backlot ditches,installing control structures at the intersections of swales,and constructing four(4)new wet detention ponds. The project was eventually implemented as Vero Lake Estates Stormwater Improvements,consisting of a series of swales and canals leading to large stormwater detention ponds.As reported in IRC's Lagoon Management Plan,this project had an estimated capital cost of$1,572,829 while offering estimated load reductions of 7,655 pounds per year of TN and 1,993 pounds per year of TP. These improvements offered some of the highest reductions in Total Nitrogen out of all operational projects, second only to IRC's fertilizer and landscape management ordinance. • Indian River county 6-32 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas ..* i.!1_,,._,,.:.,,,'. ;.=I__ ,_....... ..,..:.*,_....,iicaiiniii.,..,_. _,.7. ): , .

The site was historically a borrow pond that had become a public park.Based on a review of aerial imagery,the park's construction was completed in 2023. Consultation with the City of Fellsmere to determine the park's impact on flooding events post-construction would be informative for IRC to evaluate a similar option for flooding control in the Fellsmere Priority Area. 6.1.5.2 Site Visits Two site visits were conducted in the Fellsmere area,but due to the size of this Priority Area the visit was mainly conducted by driving multiple streets throughout the area and observing the existing infrastructure. The ditches along the roads running west to east were all observed with standing water to some extent,although the ditches appeared to become deeper the further south they are within the area. Many of them are heavily vegetated. The City of Fellsmere Stormwater Park was examined during the site visit as well.A survey control point was located at the southern end of the Priority Area. Figure 45 shows the major stormwater features in the Fellsmere Priority Area. 6.1.5.3 Proposed Conceptual Improvements Fellsmere is the largest Priority Area of them all,and requires a significant,regional approach to managing excess runoff from stormwater. There are a couple of options to improve flooding outcomes and water quality in the Fellsmere Priority Area. The options are summarized in Table 17.

Figure 45 Stormwater Features within Fellsmere Priority Area III Indian River County 6-35 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas Option 1 is to establish a stormwater treatment and storage area(STA)within the Fellsmere Priority Area. • A dedicated STA would reduce flooding by allowing excess stormwater runoff to accumulate there and would also provide a water quality benefit by offering residence time for nutrient uptake. There are multiple potential locations for the STA. These include multiple undeveloped parcels along the western side of the Priority Area limits and a few undeveloped parcels in the northeastern limits of the area. This option is costly and would constitute a significant investment by IRC,but it is seen an inevitable measure that will be necessary as the area develops and as flood zones continue to expand. Consequently,the first step to implement this option is for IRC to obtain funding.Modeling and design would be required to evaluate the hydraulics and hydrology of the area in detail and to determine an optimal location and configuration for the STA; once a location is selected,IRC would have to acquire land and obtain survey before any construction documents could be prepared. Coordination with the City of Fellsmere may be needed depending on the location,to determine if expansion of their existing stormwater park is an Option or if other portions of the City would benefit from the location being elsewhere in the Priority Area. This option would warrant engagement with the public and would entail permitting through SJRWMD and other entities. Option 2 is to evaluate widening and/or deepening the existing ditches maintained by IRC within the County ROW,and connecting the ditches to surrounding canals to create a cohesive,well-connected drainage network in the Fellsmere area. These corrective actions would increase the storage capacity of the ditches,allowing them to hold more stormwater during heavy rainfall events. In addition,creating connections to other features would improve the overall conveyance throughout the drainage system, helping to reduce localized flooding.There would likely be little improvement to water quality since the ditches already exist and would simply be modified,although improved conveyance could offer some • small benefit by reducing stagnant water. Survey would be required to evaluate the full extents and existing depths of the ditches and to determine how many and which ditches to modify, as well as the extent by which to deepen them. Additionally,the survey would be useful to determine where the ditches discharge to and identify potential connection points. This option would be less expensive than Option 1 but is expected to have a smaller impact on both flooding outcomes and water quality.Depending on the extent by which to modify the existing ditches,permitting may be required. • Indian River County 6-36 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas 6.1 .6 Priority Area 6 — Riviera Lakes (4th St. & 27th Ave.) 6.1.6.1 Background This Priority Area is a residential area bound by 27th Avenue to the west,24th Avenue to the east, 1" Street SW to the south, and 4th Street to the north(Figure 46).Within this Priority Area is a partially completed development of approximately 18 acres called Riviera Lakes.According to IRC staff,resident complaints have suggested that the early phases of construction for this development exacerbated flooding issues within these blocks of residences. The existing infrastructure within 4th Street and 27th Avenue is limited.The drainage system currently consists of shallow ditches along the edges of properties within the area.Note that 24th Avenue is a dirt road. Sub-Lateral B-5 E canal,owned by IRFWCD,runs along 1"St SW at the southern boundary of this Priority Area. The partially completed Riviera Lakes development had an ERP#148231 — 1 issued from SJRWMD in 2023.Documents from the ERP indicate that the development consists of 40 single-family lots and a clubhouse along with a stormwater management system comprised of three(3)dry retention ponds and one downstream wet detention pond. There was a berm constructed along the eastern edge of the development that has apparently contributed to the increase in flooding experienced by some residents within the Priority Area. 6.1.6.2 Site Visits ESA visited 23rd Avenue and drove around to see the partially completed development at Riviera Lakes. See Figure 47. At the time of the site visit,the Riviera Lakes development no longer appeared to be in active construction but remains unfinished.ESA staff examined the berm that was constructed as part of the Riviera Lakes development. Standing water was observed in the dirt road on 24th Avenue. 1111 Indian River County 6-37 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas �. ._ {"rt 'if.- .f �', - .4 Mr- 9e yo mai list i`.; 1 ,..'".-_.. • "� �#� `� t �� " Riviera Lakes (4th St.&27th Ave.) i.,..4, --- ',..

Creating the swales would provide some storage and would encourage excess water to be conveyed away from residences. Additionally,berm removal would help to allow stormwater from the surrounding residences to enter the new pond. This option could be accomplished upon consulting with the County Attorney to obtain the surety bonds.An ERP modification may be required for this option. Option 2 is to re-grade the roadway swales towards the newly obtained ROW at Riviera Lakes and ensure those swales reach a point of legal positive outfall.

It seems that stormwater is conveyed from the swales to the 63rd Avenue ditch and from there, stormwater flows north into the Sub-Lateral B-3 W canal along 8th Street and south into Sub-Lateral B-4 W,both owned by IRFWCD. Both of these canals lead east to a larger canal along 58'h Avenue and ultimately discharge to the South Relief Canal,which outfalls to the IRL. There are three(3)surface water management ponds within this area of interest.The stormwater pond at the northeastern corner is permitted under ERP#71222—1 for the Carriage Lake subdivision.The Technical Staff Report(TSR)from SJRWMD indicates that the surface water management system consists of a 13.9- acre wet detention pond with associated inlets and pipes. On the western side of the area enclosed by 4th and • Indian River County 6-42 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas • 8th Street is Laurel Springs Subdivision(ERP#26227—2).This permit indicates that there is an additional dry retention area west of the project area;however,that parcel is currently under construction.Currently there is a proposed development there called Raven's Landing,ERP#188049—1.This permit expires on April 3,2028.According to the TSR,the proposed drainage system for Raven's Landing consists of two(2) interconnected wet detention ponds with associated inlets and pipes.The overflow will discharge north to the 8th Street drainage system,which outfalls to the South Relief Canal. 6.1.7.2 Site Visits During the site visit,standing water was observed in the drainage ditches,and at some properties,the water was as high as the finished floor elevation of the homes.ESA staff observed residents at one(1) property placing sediment over one of the drainage swales,most likely intended as a driveway.Like other priority areas,the maintenance of the drainage structures within 4th and 8th Street appears to have been neglected based on visual observations made during the initial site visit including overgrown vegetation. The preliminary phases of construction at Raven's Landing were spotted during the site visits.The pond at Laurel Springs was not seen due to its location in a gated community. The pond at the Carriage Lake subdivision was observed with high water levels and there appeared to be multiple pipes connecting the pond to Sub-Lateral B-3 W canal along 8th Street. Figure 50 shows the stormwater features at 4th and 8th Street. 6.1.7.3 Proposed Conceptual Improvements • Overall,for the 4th Street and 8th Street Priority Area,it is recommended to perform maintenance on existing structures and increase connectivity between swales.Besides this,the options discussed below focus on adding additional storage or considering if additional discharge can be introduced to existing ponds bound by the Priority Area.The options are summarized in Table 19.

Option 2 is to create a new discharge location at an existing pond within the Priority Area and route stormwater there.This could be accomplished by discharging into the existing Laurel Springs pond,or into the new stormwater pond slated for construction at the Raven's Landing development.Note that the pond at Carriage Lake is not being considered as a discharge location due to its high water levels seen during the site visit.Agreement from the landowners would be required to proceed with this option. In addition to determining the pond's available capacity for additional discharge,topographic survey and inventory of existing structures would be required to determine the conveyance route for this option.An ERP would be required to establish the new outfall location. Option 3 is similar to Option 2 in that it entails creating a new discharge location to convey stormwater towards; in this case,towards the southeast agricultural parcel and out into the IRFWCD canals.This would require an easement to be obtained from the landowner(s)to establish a conveyance network and outfall location southeast of the 4th Street and 8th Street Priority Area.The capacities of the canals would need to be determined which would entail coordination with IRFWCD.Like the others,survey may need to be obtained to accomplish this option.Figure 51 approximately shows these options. • 411 Indian River County 6-45 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Dalt ,.

Gifford and Wabasso are unincorporated communities included in this Priority Area, nestled between the city limits,and the unincorporated community of Roseland lies at the northern end of the Priority Area.Along Indian River Drive is a mix of residences and businesses,with a handful of undeveloped parcels scattered throughout. It was conveyed to ESA by IRC staff that these coastal areas experience poor drainage and some properties experience flooding. The existing infrastructure consists of shallow swales, some deeper ditches and canals,culverts,inlets, and outfalls to the IRL. The full extent of the existence,ownership,and inner connectivity of the drainage easements is unknown. There are numerous ERPs along and in proximity to Indian River Drive.Around 2004, a project known as East Roseland Stormwater Improvements was designed and at least partially permitted in the area of Roseland,which is in the northwestern limits of this Priority Area.The project entailed stormwater collection,conveyance and detention systems in the form of two(2)wet ponds in the East Roseland area.While the project was only partially realized,the single stormwater detention pond constructed as part of East Roseland Stormwater Improvements is estimated to offer 216 pounds per year • of Total Nitrogen reduction and 58 pounds per year of Total Phosphorous reduction and had an estimated capital cost of$433,134 at the time of construction,according to IRC's Lagoon Management Plan. 6.1.8.2 Site Visits Residential areas along Indian River Drive along with an area west of Indian River Drive across US Highway 1 were examined during the site visit.ESA staff identified several drainage structures,some of which were blocked with sedimentation. In the northwestern extent of the Priority Area,a cracked outfall structure and riprap was observed on 143'Street.A canal was examined at the southern end of Indian River Boulevard,at approximately 404 S. Indian River Drive that ultimately discharges to IRL.Figure 53,Figure 54,and Figure 55 show the areas examined during the site visits. • Indian River County 6-47 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 1 6.Priority Project Areas .. a ''\ e • JIndian River Drive y City Limits 4. a o L .�` it Roselandf , .•..

TABLE 20 INDIAN RIVER DRIVE—CONCEPTUAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS Option Description Water Quality Timeline Feasibility Difficulty/Costs Option 1 Establish stormwater treatment and storage area High Long term $9,436,800 Option 2 Establish rain gardens or vegetated swales Low/Medium Medium $1,660,200 Option 3 Acquire easements to connect and improve Low Medium $632,000 conveyance throughout system+maintenance Option 1 is to establish a stormwater treatment and storage area somewhere along Indian River Boulevard.This would be accomplished by acquiring a sizable land area to convey water to and store for treatment and flood prevention. This option would require extensive survey,modeling,design, coordination with landowners and with the public,and permitting.However,as discussed for other Priority Areas,the construction of a STA is likely to be inevitable as sea levels rise,development continues,and weather events become more severe.This option is the most impactful on flooding • outcomes and water quality. Specific areas where sea level rise is expected to have the greatest impact along Indian River Drive should be prioritized for the location of the STA.Additionally,discussions with the City of Sebastian and the City of Vero Beach should be held to assess their interest in collaborating on a regional-scale STA somewhere along Indian River Drive. Option 2 is to install rain gardens or vegetated swales throughout Indian River Drive. This option is less impactful than Option 1 on both inundation outcomes and water quality,but it is easier to implement at a smaller scale and is less costly.Note that this option would still require additional annual budgeting for operation and maintenance.As discussed for other Priority Areas,rain gardens can help to slow down water and increase nutrient uptake,which both improves flooding outcomes to some extent and has a positive impact on water quality. Option 3 is to connect existing infrastructure and improve conveyance throughout the entire drainage system within the Indian River Drive corridor. This option would not likely have any water quality benefit;however, it would most likely result in some improvement in flooding outcomes. Connecting the drainage system would increase the surface area to disperse excess runoff to and therefore greater storage volume would be available for water to accumulate in during heavy rainfall events. • Indian River County 6-52 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas • 6.1 .9 Priority Area 9 — Indian River Lagoon Outfall Replacement/Upgrades 6.1.9.1 Background Numerous outfall locations exist along IRL. This Priority Area focuses on exploring potential water quality improvement measures and retrofits or replacements of existing outfalls.ESA reviewed IRC Property Appraiser data and available ERPs within IRC limits to compile an inventory of structures that discharge into IRL. Figure 56 displays outfalls recorded as National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)discharge locations as well as structures from FDOT's Stormwater Asset Management System(SAMS)public viewer. South of the City of Vero Beach,there are outfalls at Oslo Boat Ramp,the Lagoon Greenway,and the South Relief Canal owned by IRFWCD.The land to the south of Oslo Road is largely owned by IRC for mosquito impoundments.Most of the land north of Oslo Road is owned by SJRWMD,with a couple of parcels interspersed owned by the University of Florida.There are ERPs in this area related to road improvements and mosquito control. Most of the land surrounding the Lagoon Greenway is owned by the Florida Inland Navigation District(FIND),and there are two(2)parcels jointly owned by IRC(50%), SJRWMD(25%)and FIND(25%).There is an ERP(#125194—2)adjacent to the Lagoon Greenway to construct a boardwalk and viewing platforms.No stormwater management was proposed. South of that is an ERP(#26182—2)for a multifamily subdivision that ultimately discharges to IRL. • The South Relief Canal is just south of McKee Botanical Garden.Nearby ERPs include#51779— 1,which consists of two(2)dry retention ponds for the widening of 4th St,owned by IRC,and ERP#103252— 1 which was issued to IRC Public Works in 2006,entailing the installation of a"pollution control system at the three outfall locations of the Indian River Farms Water Control District".Also,within the City of Vero Beach is the Main Relief Canal also owned by IRFWCD which outfalls directly to IRL. Between the South and Main Relief Canals is the Rockridge Priority Area discussed in Section 6.1.2. North of the City of Vero Beach and Priority Area 4,37a'Street,there are natural areas with some outfalls to the lagoon.A channel around 404 S. Indian River Drive appears to discharge directly to IRL.In addition, south of 11398 S.Indian River Drive there is another large ditch. Similarly,at approximately 11180 US Hwy 1 there is a channel connecting to IRL. In the northern extents of Indian River Drive there are several outfall locations in the residential areas between properties adjacent to the lagoon.Just north of 13610 N.Indian River Drive,there appears to be a culvert going out into IRL.At 13275 N. Indian River Drive is a swale that was observed with standing water,most likely a result of tidal influence indicating an outfall across the road in the lagoon. 6.1.9.2 Site Visits Outfalls along Indian River Drive were observed briefly during the site visit for Priority Area 8. Due to the number and wide span of outfall locations across the County,the outfalls were not inspected in detail. It is recommended that structures and canals should be examined and documented during low tides to assess their condition and performance. • Indian River County 6-53 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 6.Priority Project Areas NPDES Outfalls • IX w (EPA,2025) .

Alternatively, a more impactful solution requiring significant investment from the County would be to acquire land along IRL to provide additional treatment and buffer to treat runoff from urban and developed areas before excess stormwater enters the lagoon.This could be implemented in developed areas adjacent to existing natural and undeveloped parcels, some of which are owned by the County.A summary of the proposed conceptual improvement options is presented in Table 21.

The aim of the ranking methodology was to optimize flood protection and water quality improvements,while balancing the challenges each conceptual improvement may encounter. These projects are prioritized using a tailored matrix based upon the project's anticipated level of magnitude to provide flood reduction,estimated implementation cost,and likelihood to improve water quality.These projects must be further developed in design,in order to determine an estimated number of Basin Management Action Plan(BMAP)credits. 7.2 Ranking Criteria • The ranking criteria and scoring methodology are based on the benefits to the County for WQ improvement, CRS points,flood abatement,resiliency,time to complete and overall cost. • Timeline for Implementation—5 for the shortest timelines, 1 for longest,important for grant funding • Alleviate stormwater flooding—5 for alleviating nuisance flooding,0 for no flood impact • Provide resiliency-5 for increased long-term resiliency of the project and its impact, 0 for no increase in resiliency • Provide water quality improvement—20 for best water quality improvement, 0 for no water quality improvement • Project Zone Rank—total pounds of proposed removal of Nitrogen and Phosphorus,20 for best nutrient removal potential,0 for no nutrient removal potential • WBID TMDL/Impairment List— 10 points if adjacent to Impaired Waters, 1 for increased distance from impaired waters.Not zero since all waters lead to the IRL. • Activity 420(Natural shoreline protection)criteria for the CRS—projects that increase the length of shoreline that can be counted as natural shore protection within IRC have the potential to earn points under activity 420 of the CRS program. Shoreline protection practices including regulations or ordinances that govern public and private development and construction to protect channels and shorelines in their natural state,also have the potential for additional CRS points. • Indian River County 7-1 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 7.Ranking of Conceptual Improvements • • Activity 450(Stormwater management)criteria for the CRS-projects that improve the stormwater management of new development within the watershed have potential to earn points under Activity 450 of the CRS program.The four approaches to improve management under this category include: — Stormwater Management Regulations — Watershed Master Planning — Erosion and Sediment Control — Water Quality • Real estate acquisition— 10 if already County owned, 1 if significant cost is required to purchase lands • Easement coordination - 10 if existing easements exist or no easement required, 1 if multiple easements are required. • Magnitude of Cost—Base 20 Estimated Project Cost Points Low End High End 20 Under$500,000 19 $ 500,000.00 $ 600,000.00 18 $ 600,000.00 $ 700,000.00 17 $ 700,000.00 $ 800,000.00 111116 $ 800,000.00 $ 900,000.00 15 $ 900,000.00 $ 1,000,000.00 14 $ 1,000,000.00 $ 1,100,000.00 13 $ 1,100,000.00 $ 1,200,000.00 12 $ 1,200,000.00 $ 1,300,000.00 11 $ 1,300,000.00 $ 1,400,000.00 10 $ 1,400,000.00 $ 1,650,000.00 9 $ 1,650,000.00 $ 1,900,000.00 8 $ 1,900,000.00 $ 2,150,000.00 7 $2,150,000.00 $ 3,000,000.00 6 $3,000,000.00 $ 4,000,000.00 5 $4,000,000.00 $ 6,000,000.00 4 $6,000,000.00 $ 8,000,000.00 3 $8,000,000.00 $ 10,000,000.00 2 $ 1,000,000.00 $20,000,000.00 1 Above$20M • Permit complexity— 10 if normal SWERP&USACE, 1 if Sovereign Submerged Lands, CSX,FDOT or multiple applicants are required. • Indian River County 7-2 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 7.Ranking of Conceptual Improvements • Design efficiency— 10 if typical design,model,bid,build process,5 if extensive modeling,or 411 alternate delivery(Construction-Manager-at-Risk or design build), 1 if design requires extensive structural,roadway,bridge design. • Maintenance Complexity and Annual Expense— 10 if minimal maintenance with no structures(i.e., annual or major storm events), 5 if quarterly maintenance with multiple structures, 1 if monthly, intensive maintenance,such as for rain gardens.

Once funding is secured,the projects can be implemented according to their order of importance: 4110 1. Lobby for BMAP revision 2. Establish land acquisition fund 3. Obtain survey and GIS database of structures 4. Develop maintenance schedule and asset management system and invest in additional equipment and staff 5. Priority project areas 6. Retrofit County stormwater ponds 7. Ensure stormwater ponds are accounted for and generating credit for the BMAP 8. Planning division check agricultural exemptions 8.1 .2 Assessment of IRC's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) The existing GIS data for IRC does not appear to be inclusive of all stormwater assets within IRC. The accuracy of the data is questionable in several areas,often lacking information on input format,GPS equipment,or the methods and timing of data collection. Overall,metadata is either lacking or incomplete for all features. Regarding specific features,backlot ditches only have ID and location information available.Additional fields such as status,flow direction, elevation,PID,ownership, and access are unknown. • Indian River County 8-1 ESA/D202300072.01 Stomiwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 8.Summary of Recommendations While the schema for inlets and pipes is well-designed,the schema for backlot ditches,IRC maintained • ponds,and non-pipe culverts is minimal,primarily indicating location with little to no additional data. Many inlets and pipes have incomplete data for additional schema fields.Additionally,the GIS data contains topographic inconsistencies that need to be addressed to create a reliable topographic network. The flow direction of lines is not consistently correct based on observations and available topographic data,although there is a field to indicate direction. IRC maintained ponds include minimal data,primarily parcel and location information. Elevation,inlet details, and maintenance schedules would help to augment the dataset.While IRC maintained ponds are those provided by IRC,other water features must be generated to create a comprehensive hydrologic model. Non-pipe culverts have type and location information but lack details on flow direction and other pertinent information.Pipes have mostly populated fields for diameter,type,material,and location,but other fields such as flow direction and elevations are incomplete. Inlets have a well-designed schema,but most fields,except for type,subtype, and access,are unpopulated. ESA created an initial GIS database of existing stormwater features throughout IRC and provided it to the County. Three datasets were created,one each for inlets,waterbodies,and stormwater conveyance. These datasets were compiled by running analyses in ArcGIS Pro on data from various sources, such as imagery,a County-wide digital elevation model,the National Hydrography Dataset,and others. It is important to note that none of these have been fully field-verified and should be used for preliminary planning purposes only. Further information and precautions are included in the metadata attached to each • dataset. 8.1 .3 Stakeholder Coordination ESA facilitated stakeholder coordination meetings in April 2025. The goals of these meetings were to identify common objectives shared by IRC and stakeholders in regard to stormwater management,discuss ongoing stormwater projects by stakeholders in proximity to IRC's priority areas,and evaluate the potential for collaboration towards future stormwater projects. The first of these meetings was held virtually on April 21St,2025 with the City of Vero Beach,including staff from both COVB and IRC. In particular,Priority Areas close to COVB limits were discussed in detail,including the Rockridge and 37th Street Priority Areas; additionally,the COVB VA was also discussed.As mentioned previously,the Rockridge Area is close to Focus Area 2 in the City's VA. During the meeting, COVB indicated that the wastewater treatment plant is scheduled to be relocated in the coming years.Following that, a planned development is expected to be designed to include the redevelopment of that area and surrounding areas. COVB expressed their awareness of flooding concerns from residents in the Rockridge Area.The 37th Street Priority Area is also near Focus Area 1,identified in the COVB VA,which includes the Vero Beach Regional Airport. COVB expressed that there is currently a stormwater plan being developed for the airport but that the drainage is self-contained. East and north of 37th Avenue,there are multiple undeveloped parcels for which COVB has received plans for development. In another area of IRC,within COVB limits and west of the airport,there is a defunct golf course that may be redeveloped in the future and has the potential to include stormwater treatment with a focus on nutrient reduction.Overall,the coordination meeting with COVB was productive with both • Indian River County 8-2 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft 8.Summary of Recommendations 11111 entities expressing a willingness to work together where possible to improve stormwater management in shared or neighboring areas. The second stakeholder coordination meeting was held also on April 21st,2025,with the City of Sebastian (COS).Most of the discussion was centered around areas along Indian River Drive and IRL outfall locations. COS conveyed that they have executed several stormwater improvement projects near and along Indian River Drive in recent years,and that more are ongoing.Maintenance of outfall screening structures controlled by the City was also discussed,allowing IRC to gain insight on the labor requirement for such treatments.Again,COS expressed enthusiasm towards the potential of collaboration with IRC on future stormwater improvement projects,as well as towards increased coordination in general. As of May 2025,efforts have been made to contact other stakeholders in IRC but no other meetings have been scheduled. 8.2 Conclusion This SMP examined numerous components of the current drainage system in Indian River County, including existing challenges related to impaired water quality and flooding concerns.The SMP identified several opportunities for improvement as well as various avenues for IRC to obtain funding for improvement projects.Additional feasibility studies may be implemented to evaluate these conceptual improvement projects,dependent upon project readiness and funding availability. It is anticipated that the • SMP will be updated on a five to ten-year interval to address changes to the County's stormwater infrastructure,climate change and sea level rise projections and the priority projects list will be updated as well to remove completed projects and add new projects. • Develop an implementation plan for improvement projects within the priority areas • Address GIS data gaps by obtaining survey and creating database of stormwater features • Seek funding opportunities for improvement projects • Seek opportunities for implementation of best management practices county-wide • Continue coordination with neighboring municipalities • BMAP revision • Indian River County 8-3 ESA/D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan July 2025 Final Draft • SECTION 9 References BeeMats,Flounder Creek Stormwater Pond.http://www.beemats.com/flounder-creek.html .

Leather fern as well as all three mangrove species are found, 1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, along with Brazilian pepper and sea -oxeye daisy on the dikes. 24, 25, 26, 29, 37 The applicant proposes to fill all three of the isolated wetlands. A wet detention pond will be excavated over a majority of the on-site state -jurisdictional wetlands on the western side of the boulevard, and the remainder will be filled. An entrance road will impact a portion of the ditch paralleling Indian River Boulevard, and it's associated turning lane will necessitate relocation of a portion of the ditch. The applicant also proposes to construct wooden walkways out over the mosquito control dikes on the eastern portion of the parcel which will involve the trimming and removal of a small number of mangroves. As mitigation for impact to the isolated wetlands, the applicant proposes to construct and plant with appropriate wetland species three littoral shelves as part of the wet detention lake. In Combination with the lake itself they will more than adequately compensate for the removal of the marginal wet prairies. In mitigation fax impact to waters of the state the applicant proposes to construct a mitigation area adjacent to the mangrove swamp on the east side of the boulevard. The area will be planted with a combination of mangroves and herbaceous species. Mitigation for relocation of the ditch is not considered necessary as the new section will quickly revegetate with similar species given the upstream seed source. The total mitigation proposed for the project adequately compensates for the impact proposed. There are no unacceptable cumulative or secondary impacts.

To aid in this effort, IRC provided an inventory of available stormwater conveyance and treatment structures throughout IRC in a Geographic Information System (GIS) database. Please note this is not all inclusive. Additionally, IRC identified a total of nine (9) priority areas based on previous flooding concerns that the Stormwater Management Plan should focus on. As part of the Stormwater Management Plan, ESA has conducted a stormwater and water quality database review as well as site visits to the IRC identified priority areas. The 9 priority areas are as follows: 1) 90'' Ave. Drainage 2) Rockridge Area (SR60 to 12" St) & 6h Ave. to IRI, – within the County 3) College Lane (between 58`h Ave. & 66th Ave.) 4) 376' St. to Royal Palm Place (US 1 to IR Blvd.) 5) Fellsmere (County Only) 6) Riviera Lakes (4t' St. & 27`h Ave.) 7) 4h St. & 8" St. (58" to 66" Ave.) 8) Indian River Drive — County maintained ROWs 9) Indian River Lagoon Outfall Replacement/Upgrades Indian River County Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis ESA / D202300072.01 February 2025 2 DATA INVENTORY To evaluate existing conditions of the drainage infrastructure within IRC, multiple critical pieces of data are required. ESA compiled and reviewed existing data which included: GIS databases provided by IRC and other publicly available sources; publicly available St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) permitting and compliance information; engineering reports provided by IRC; and, hydrologic and water quality data obtained from SJRWMD and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Publicly available GIS data included: • Site TopographyBathymetry from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 2018-2020 • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Maps • United States Geological Survey (USGS) Quadrangle Maps • National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Database • • Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Soil Database • Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Eagle Nest Locations • FWC and United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Threatened and Endangered Species Observations • Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) Database, dated 2024 • Historic and Current Aerial Photography, from Indian River County SJRWMD Environmental Resource Permits (ERPs) that were within the immediate area of the • priority site were reviewed. Note, engineering drawings, specifically stormwater infrastructure, were available on only a limited number of permits within these areas. The IRC provided reports are as follows: • Indian River County 2030 Comprehensive Plan • Indian River Lagoon Management Plan • Indian River County Public Works Department Technical Specifications for Stormwater Pollution Control Systems • East Roseland Stormwater Improvements Contract Documents, Addendum #1 & #2. • Rockridge Subdivision Surge Protection Project • Vero Lake Estates Master Drainage Plan • Gifford Stormwater Project • East Indian River County Master Stormwater Management Plan • East Indian River County Engineering Evaluation Report The IRC Vulnerability Analysis is also currently being developed and will be considered in this stormwater management plan should it be completed prior to the conclusion of this study. As of February 2025, this analysis has not yet been provided to ESA. Indian River County 2 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 • Hydrologic models within the project area are useful to assess current drainage conditions. ESA submitted an inquiry to SJRWMD regarding existing models within IRC. In September 2024, SJRWMD provided the latest version of the Upper SJR Real Time Flood Forecasting Model. The model can be used to gain a better understanding of how stormwater is conveyed regionally, however it does not overlap with any of the areas of interest. Other stakeholders throughout the region include the following: • Indian River Farms Water Control District • City of Vero Beach • City of Fellsmere Water Control District • City of Sebastian • Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) The above-mentioned stakeholders may have additional data which may be beneficial for the Stormwater Management Plan. Further coordination and discussion are necessary to determine additional data as well as ongoing or near future projects related to infrastructure and other associated stormwater improvements. Upon initial review of the City of Fellsmere, it was noted that there is currently a Watershed Master Plan and Flood Vulnerability Assessment currently in progress. Based on publicly available information, the study will also determine potential flooding threats and impacts as well • as evaluate recommendations for future decision making and mitigation. Additionally, a hydrologic and hydraulic (H & H) model has been developed for this study which may provide beneficial information for IRC. Water quality data were gathered from the FDEP Impaired Waters Rule Run 66 SAS dataset. This database utilizes data extracted on July 18, 2024, from the Watershed Information Network (including data from SJRWMD), Florida STORET, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Statewide Biological Database. This dataset will be used for the next FDEP Biennial Assessment (2024- 2026). Data were selected through an overlay FDEP WBIDs and station locations. Indian River County 3 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 3 SITE VISIT ESA conducted initial site reviews on the priority areas on August 7`h and August 8h, 2024 and a follow up on January 7th, 2025. During the initial site reviews, there had been several days of rain in the week preceding the site visit and some light rain occurred on August 7`h. In conjunction with staff from IRC, the site reviews consisted of visual observations, structure identification and initial evaluation of the drainage systems in place at each of the nine (9) priority areas. Photos were collected and georeferenced where possible. These photographs will be included in the geodatabase that will be provided as a deliverable as part of the stormwater master plan. 90th Avenue Drainage Figure 1. 90th Avenue Drainage Priority Area 90`b Avenue Priority Area is located east of Interstate 95 and between 16`h Street and approximately 500 feet south of 20th Street, as shown in Figure 1. This area is characterized by commercial development including fuel stations, lodging, and automotive stores. The specific area of concentration is Fire Station 7, which has experienced past flooding issues for several years according to IRC staff. r� u • During the site visit, ESA identified existing drainage swales east of 90th Avenue along Americana Road behind the Howard Johnson Inn located at 1985 90th Ave. Figure 2 shows the • Indian River County 4 ESA/ D202300072.01 Slormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 • area of concentration, including the fire station, as well as the general flow direction as observed during the site visit. Upon initial evaluation, it was determined that the poor drainage in the area may be contributable to isolated stormwater systems. Connection of the various isolated systems to promote increased connectivity between the swales would likely allow the stormwater to drain north to 20`h Street. Additional site-specific survey may be warranted in this area for ultimate determination. In addition, it was observed that the majority of culverts in this area were blocked by sediment and vegetation, maintenance is recommended. Swales and storm drains in and behind the parking lot of the Howard Johnson Inn were nearly completely full of water during initial the site visit. The swales full of water can be seen in Figure 3 and Figure 4. There are multiple ponds located approximately 1,100 feet west of 90`h Avenue between 20th Street and 17th Place. The largest of these is a retention pond along with a small channel, approximately 2.63 acres in size according to GIS analysis as seen in Figure 2. This pond is part of the stormwater management system permitted via SJRWMD under ERP 18840 — 2, which it seems was originally intended to serve the neighboring 17 -lot commercial subdivision including the Fairfield Inn and Suites and Home2Suites by Hilton. As shown in Figure 5, in the southern region of this priority area, there is a retention pond located at the center of several buildings along with what appears to be a canal draining into it. This system is permitted via SJRWMD under a Management and Storage of Surface Waters (MSSW) permit #18657 — 1. The possibility of creating additional conveyance swales that would allow areas of flooding to route surface water runoff to the permitted pond as well as potentially Is increasing storage in this pond are potential solutions to the flooding concerns in this area. There are a few data gaps specific to this area. First, the ownership of all drainage easements and structures is not fully known. Additionally, there is no information about the drainage infrastructure associated with the fire station, if any exists. A self -certification permit, #144210 — 1, was found for the fire station through SJRWMD and FDEP, but no plans or description of the stormwater system were available. There appears to be approximately 5.27 acres of wetlands in this area; however, there is some discrepancy between where the National Wetlands Inventory and National Hydrology Dataset demarcate the wetland line. • Indian River County 5 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 Figure 2. 90th Avenue Drainage, Northern Priority Area Indian River County Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis ESA / D202300072.01 February 2025 • • .7 W W • Rockridge Area - SR60 to 12th St. & 6th Avenue to Indian River Lagoon Figure 6. Rockridge Priority Area • South of 17'b Street along Indian River Boulevard, the Rockridge subdivision has long been an area of focus for stormwater improvements by IRC. This area regularly experiences flooding due to its abundant low-lying residences and proximity to canals, as seen in Figure 6. In 2006, a surge protection study titled Rockrdge Subdivision Surge Protection Project identified several potential improvements including flap gates, sluice gates, tide -flex check valves, a tilting weir gate, a soil berm barrier and a stormwater pump station. Some of these improvements were permitted under ERP #108217 — 1, although not all of them are implemented. During the site visit, ESA staff evaluated the existing structures within Rockridge and the surrounding areas, particularly along Indian River Boulevard and around 3' Court and 16`h Street. Along Indian River Boulevard, one of the first sites assessed during initial site reviews was the canal crossing at 16" Street; in particular, the concrete headwalls of the culvert and the riprap in that area were examined. Vegetation management had been recently performed, leaving the banks of the channel as bare soil. South of 16t" Street along the western side of Indian River Boulevard, drainage swales were identified with standing water. ESA staff attempted to identify an outfall structure on the eastern side of Indian River Boulevard during the initial site visit but were unsuccessful. However, during January 2025 activities, the outfall was identified. Note, it was submerged at that time. This area is shown in Figure 7. During conversations among IRC and ESA staff at the initial site visit, it was discussed to consider having a stormwater storage and treatment area just east of Indian River Boulevard for water to ultimately discharge. This appears to be a natural wetland, or low-lying area. According to IRC Property Appraiser, the undeveloped parcel east of Indian River Boulevard is owned by Indian River Apartments and its • conservation was part of the mitigation associated with its development. The plans for these Indian River County 9 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 apartments, permitted under ERP # 18819 —1, include a wet detention pond. These plans also • show that there is a culvert under Indian River Boulevard conveying stormwater east towards that undeveloped parcel. As previously indicated, during the follow up site visit on January 7`h, the outfall of the culvert was located on the eastern side of Indian River Boulevard and is shown in Figure 7. Within the Rockridge subdivision, the immediate area of 16`h Street and 3`d Court were walked and observed during the initial site visit. Refer to Figure 8. There is a covered channel along 16`h Street before it opens into the canal. Several pipes were identified terminating in 16`h Street Canal, including one coming from along 3`d Court. Some shouldering of sediment along the canal banks was observed. Maintenance is recommended to control sediment and vegetation along 16`h Street canal. Also, it did not appear that the channel along 3rd Avenue connects to 16`h Street Canal. During the site visit it was discussed with IRC staff to consider potentially purchasing plots of land within the subdivision to establish a stormwater treatment park. Data gaps specific to Rockridge include the exact outfall location(s) of the drainage swales along Indian River Boulevard, the connectivity of canals within the Rockridge subdivision, the extents of the implementation of improvements associated with Rockridge Subdivision Surge Protection Project, and the ownership of drainage easements and structures within this priority area. • • Indian River County 10 ESA 1 13202 30007 2.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 • • J. n t pr f � ; :�'�.�` � �'°'' �` ►� Outfall :* Observed in Field a T 3r t ., f !� tr i 1*2 X11 t f(Ockrid"Area= (SR6O to 12th St.) Indian River County Catch Basin Curb Inlet � �' , � 10 ESA Identified a A ;` * {Preliminary] , r' ♦ Culvert G. lr►let.

College Lane Priority Area As shown in Figure 9, College Lane is a road south of State Road 60 with increasingly newer developments in its surroundings and the street itself has multiple drainage structures. IRC staff • indicated that they are looking for a solution of where to discharge the stormwater south of College Lane. • During the initial site visit, it was conveyed to ESA staff that residential areas just north of the road, including Hedden Place, Fiora Lane, etc., experience flooding during periods of heavy rainfall. The drainage along these residential streets consists of shallow swales, and stormwater sheet flows south towards College Lane. These streets along with the general flow direction as observed during the site visit are shown in Figure 10, as well as drainage structures identified by ESA along College Lane. The swales do not appear to connect or continue outside of the residential area. There are several stormwater ponds in the vicinity of College Lane, consisting of those for the discharge from the shopping centers just north of the road and those that are part of Indian River Community College development (permitted as an ERP through 87843 —1). Most of the plats along College Lane are owned by Indian River College, particularly along the western side, while plats on the eastern side are primarily commercial. Additionally, Indian River Charter High School is located south of College Lane. Based on permitting information (40-061-87843) , there are two (2) stormwater pond is associated with the high school . A regional stormwater pond associated with Permit no. 40-061-0126 is located directly east of the high school. This pond appears to be associated with the development directly north and across College Lane. The tract of land directly east of the regional stormwater treatment system appears to be designated at 6 future development outparcels. Indian River County 13 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 The Indian River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD) Main Relief Canal lies just south of • this priority area. According to the East Indian River County Stormwater Master Plan (year unknown), a 2001 SJRWMD Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) showed this canal to have flooding and potentially erosion during a 100 -year storm event in the areas just south of College Lane. Discharging to this canal,or to the regional stormwater management tract as well as potential expansion of the stormwater management tract would require further investigation of storage availability as well as coordination with the land owners and/or IRFWCD. Final ownership and extents of all drainage easements and structures is another data gap within this priority area. is Indian River County 14 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 • Y � a I d 0 U w 0 y � T Z Q ce a d � a Q a m� �3 � � E y o c N 37th Street to Royal Palm Place (US 1 to IR Blvd.) Figure 11. 37th Street Priority Area • 37`h Street lies between US Highway 1 and Indian River Boulevard, with the area of interest • approximately 1. 15 miles in length and predominantly occupied by medical offices, as depicted in Figure 11. According to IRC staff, flooding along this street previously occurred on a regular basis, but recent improvements to the drainage system, such as deepening the existing swale on the western end of the street, appear to have helped to reduce these impacts. During the initial site visit, ESA staff field verified the locations of stormwater structures and ditches. At the time of the visit, there was standing water in the ditches along the length of the street. A culvert structure was identified at the northeastern end of 37ffi Street going towards Indian River Boulevard. The same structure was identified on plans dated 2017 for the ERP #18729 — 5 which specified the dimensions as an 84" x 48" box culvert with inverts of -1.70 ft North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD 88) and -1.74 ft NAVD 88 at the other end of the outfall on the eastern side of Indian River Boulevard. This area and the structure can be seen in Figure 12, Figure 13, and Figure 14. ERP #40739 — 5 (202 1) is located at the eastern end of the priority area limits and is associated with 9.45 acres of roadway improvements. The drainage system implemented for this ERP is a 0.45 -acre dry retention pond located at the southwestern intersection of 37th Street and Indian River Boulevard and serves a 1.3 acre basin off of 37`h Street. The Drainage Design Documentation report associated with this ERP remarks that the "roadside swale along the north side of 37 b Street discharges to the Indian River Lagoon via a dual 4'x7' reinforced box culvert beneath Indian River Boulevard", which is consistent with the plans from ERP #18729 — 5 mentioned previously. is Indian River County 16 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 • There are several other ERPs related to the treatment of stormwater at the medical buildings along 3r Street.

Fellsmere Priority Area • The Fellsmere Priority Area is located approximately three (3) miles west of Interstate 95 and directly south of County Road 512. The City of Fellsmere has historically experienced flooding during and after severe storm events. This priority area specifically includes the IRC areas immediately south of the city limits, as portrayed in Figure 15. The drainage system throughout the city consists of shallow swales and ditches connected by culverts that all discharge into larger canals. Figure 16 shows the extent of drainage structures provided by IRC, flowlines of the larger canals within the area per NHD, and surface waters identified from GIS analysis. During the initial site visit, ESA observed standing water in these ditches and swales, and many of them are heavily vegetated. The ditches appear to become deeper the further south they are in the city. A neighborhood just east of Interstate 95 known as Vero Lake Estates has a similar drainage system for which a Master Drainage Plan was developed in the late 1990s. The plan consisted of expanding the existing ditches, regrading of roadside and backlot ditches and installing control structures at the intersections of swales, and constructing four (4) new wet detention ponds. There are several ERP permits within the area of interest, consisting mostly of permits for the drainage swales for the roads, owned by IRC. Just north of the area of interest is a stormwater treatment area composed of several ponds permitted as ERP #155439 — 1 through the City of Fellsmere. This area has been constructed and was observed by ESA during field visits. The area east of Fellsmere Priority Area is permitted under ERP #92262 — 1 for a future 3,500 -acre • Indian River County 20 ESA I D202300072.01 Storrnwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 • development of various land uses; this permit expires 12/13/2030. In addition, there is an ongoing ERP #18578 — 4 for 19,729 acres of an agricultural surface water management system consisting of pumped and gravity drained basins issued to the Fellsmere Water Control District in the areas is south and west of this priority area. This permit appears to have additional modifications proposed that are still under review. Data gaps for the Fellsmere priority area include the ownership of drainage easements and structures and topographic data. A 1 -meter resolution LiDAR dataset is available for some of the priority area, but it is missing in the southern portion of the priority area. There is a publicly available Digital Elevation Model (DEM) at a resolution of 1/3 arc second for the areas where LiDAR is missing. Additionally, the City of Fellsmere has proposed several projects in the BMAP, and further discussions and coordination are required to determine which of these are underway and which have been completed. Understanding how the Master Drainage Plan implemented at Vero Lakes Estates has affected drainage there would be beneficial to evaluate whether those improvements could be applied to Fellsmere.

Riviera Lakes Priority Area Riviera Lakes is a residential area bound by 27th Avenue to the west, 24th Avenue to the east, 1St St SW to the south, and 40' St to the north, as shown in Figure 17. Sub -Lateral B-5 E canal, owned by IRFWCD, runs along 1St St SW. An area of approximately 18 acres within 4th Street and 27' Avenue, called Riviera Lakes, has begun development in recent years. According to IRC staff, resident complaints have suggested that the construction exacerbated flooding issues within these blocks of residences. There was a berm constructed along the eastern edge of this development, which is included in the ERP #148231 — 1 issued for this development in 2023. Documents from the ERP indicate that the development consists of 40 single-family lots and a clubhouse along with a stormwater management system comprised of three (3) dry retention ponds and one downstream wet detention pond. As of the site visit, the development no longer appears to be in active construction but remains unfinished. Also included with the documents for this permit are as -built drawings for drainage and roadway improvements from August 2023 for 27th Avenue. Permit #148231 — 1 which expired on February 9, 2023. A transfer of ownership under ERP #148231 — 4, submitted on July 19, 2023, is still under review. Since construction operations appear to have ceased at the present moment, the most prominent data gap in Riviera Lakes is the status and future plans for this development. Figure 18 shows the area of concentration examined during the site visit, including the berm mentioned above. Note that 24th Avenue is a dirt road, and standing water was observed during Indian River County 23 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 the initial site visit. This can be seen in Figure 19.

Avenue to the west and 58th Avenue to the east, as seen in Figure 21. • The existing drainage in this area consists of shallow roadside swales connected by shallow culverts. Based on available LiDAR, the deepest of these swales are along 63`d Avenue. From there, stormwater appears to be conveyed north into the Sub -Lateral B-3 W canal along 8th Street and south towards Sub -Lateral B-4 W, both owned by IRFWCD, before flowing east to a larger canal along 58th Avenue and ultimately discharging to the South Relief Canal. Figure 22 shows the extents of drainage structures as well as surface water bodies, flow lines, and back lot ditches within this area based on data provided by IRC and/or identified by ESA. There are three (3) surface water management ponds within this area of interest. The stormwater pond at the northeastern corner is permitted under ERP #71222 —1 for the Carriage Lake subdivision. The Technical Staff Report (TSR) from SJRWMD indicates that the surface water management system consists of a 13.9 -acre wet detention pond with associated inlets and pipes. On the western side of the area enclosed by 4`h and 8th Street is Laurel Springs Subdivision (ERP #26227 — 2). This permit indicates that there is an additional dry retention area west of the project area; however, that parcel is currently under construction. Currently there is a proposed development there called Raven's Landing, ERP #188049 — 1, which is also shown in Figure 22. This permit expires on April 3, 2028. According to the TSR, the proposed drainage system for Raven's Landing consists of two (2) interconnected wet detention ponds with associated inlets and pipes. The overflow will discharge north to the 8`h Street drainage system, which outfalls to the South Relief Canal. Indian River County 27 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 Like other priority areas, the maintenance of the drainage structures within 4`h and 8t' Street appears to have been neglected based on visual observations made during the initial site visit including overgrown vegetation. During the site visit, standing water was observed in the drainage ditches, and at some properties, the water was as high as the finished floor elevation of the homes. ESA staff observed residents at one (1) property placing sediment over one of the drainage swales, most likely intended as a driveway. Data gaps in this area include the ultimate discharge location of swales and culverts, the final ownership of drainage structures, and whether more storage would be available at any of the stormwater management systems permitted within the priority area. • Indian River County 28 ESA I D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 Indian River Drive — County Maintained ROWs . z,.

It is bisected by the City of Sebastian, so this area is limited to County -maintained right-of-ways. Figure 23 shows the extents of the priority area. Along Indian River Drive is a mix of residences and businesses. During the initial site visit, it was conveyed by IRC staff that these coastal areas experience poor drainage and some properties experience flooding. During the site visit, residential areas along Indian River Drive along with an area west of Indian River Drive across US Highway 1, were examined. Refer to Figure 24 and Figure 25. ESA staff identified several drainage structures, some of which were blocked with sedimentation. Maintenance of these structures is needed, and it is not fully known how all of the drainage structures are interconnected. Some structures drain into canals that eventually discharge into the Indian River Lagoon. Another data gap is the full extent of ownership of drainage easements.

The portion of the lagoon adjacent to IRC is part of the Central IRL, for which a basin management action plan (BMAP) has been adopted to address the total maximum daily loads for total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) developed to recover the loss of seagrasses in that portion of the ML. Originally adopted in February 2013, and updated in 2021, the BMAP establishes loads reductions required to be met by each entity within the CIRL watershed and identifies projects or other activities to meet these reductions. Within IRC, numerous projects have been identified through the BMAP that are either planned or underway by various stakeholders throughout the County. The Central IRL (CIRL) BMAP is separated into four (4) project zones based on annual residence times: CIRL A, CIRL SEB, CIRL B, and CIRL SIRL. These project zones are shown in Figure 27, which was obtained from the BMAP document via FDEP. Of these, IRC discharges to CIRL SEB and CIRL B which have different CIRL BMAP load reduction requirements as shown in Table 1. Table 2.

IRC is designated as a Phase II MS4 under permit number FLR04E068. A Phase H MS4 is designated as such if any parts of it are located in an urban area defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Urban non -point sources within IRC, and particularly surrounding the areas of interest, include Fellsmere Water Control District, Indian River Farms Water Control District, Sebastian River Improvement District, and Vero Lakes Water Control District. As mentioned throughout this memo, there are several stormwater canals owned by IRFWCD throughout IRC which ultimately discharge into IRL. Additionally, smaller drainage structures exist that discharge into the lagoon, although the full extent of these structures and their ownership is not known. ESA reviewed IRC Property Appraiser data and available ERPs within IRC limits to compile an inventory of structures that discharge into IRL, and to initially evaluate the feasibility of establishing stormwater treatment areas along IRL. South of the City of Vero Beach, such areas include Oslo Boat Ramp, the Lagoon Greenway, and the South Relief Canal owned by IRFWCD. The land to the south of Oslo Road is largely owned by IRC for mosquito impoundments. Most of the land north of Oslo Road is owned by SJRWMD, with a couple of parcels interspersed owned by the University of Florida. There are ERPs in this area related to road improvements and mosquito control. Most of the land • surrounding the Lagoon Greenway is owned by the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND), and there are two (2) parcels jointly owned by IRC (50%), SJRWMD (25%) and FIND (25%). There is an ERP (#125194 — 2) adjacent to the Lagoon Greenway to construct a boardwalk and viewing platforms. No stormwater management was proposed. South of that is an ERP (#26182 — 2) for a multifamily subdivision that ultimately discharges to IRL. The South Relief Canal is just south of McKee Botanical Garden. Nearby ERPs include #51779 —1, which consists of two (2) dry retention ponds for the widening of 4th St, owned by IRC, and ERP #103252 — 1 which was issued to IRC Public Works in 2006, entailing the installation of a "pollution control system at the three outfall locations of the Indian River Farms Water Control District". Also, within the City of Vero Beach is the Main Relief Canal owned by IRFWCD. Subsequent coordination and discussion with all stakeholders previously mentioned regarding both existing data availability and ongoing/anticipated stormwater improvement projects will be reviewed and any pertinent information associated with the specific areas of concern will be included in the Stormwater Management Plan. Water Quality Review The FDEP Impaired Waters Rule (IWR) database (RUN 66) was queried for water quality data pertinent to the proposed project areas (Figure 28). The retrieved water quality data were primarily concentrated in the Central Indian River Lagoon (CIRL), Sebastian River and the Main Canal with sparsely spread stations throughout the watershed. It is unlikely these data will be pertinent to specific projects but can be useful for identifying changes from load reductions at • regional scales, such as FDEP WBID boundaries.

If the County decides to move forward with a project(s), it is suggested that pre- and post- treatment monitoring be conducted to calculate actual load reduction rates for nitrogen and phosphorus. This could be particularly important for innovative projects such as treatment trains or the use of biosorption active media. Not doing so could limit the potential load reduction credit to literature values which may underestimate the reduction. The use of literature values for systems like standard wet detention systems would probably be adequate, but for more advanced BMPs, you may want to use project specific data. Indian River County 39 ESA / D202300072.01 Stormwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 4 GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) DATA GAPS The GIS data for IRC exhibits several inconsistencies and gaps. The data does not appear to be inclusive of all stormwater assets within IRC. The accuracy of the data is questionable in several areas, often lacking information on input format, GPS equipment, or the methods and timing of data collection. Overall, metadata is either lacking or incomplete for all features. Several GIS layers require consolidation and refinement at each of the priority areas for the most accurate and current information. For example, a surface water layer was developed by ESA using topographic data because it was determined that several water bodies were missing from the National Hydrography Dataset and/or county provided data. Regarding specific features, backlot ditches only have ID and location information available. Additional fields such as status, flow direction, elevation, PID, ownership, and access would be beneficial. While the schema for inlets and pipes is well-designed, the schema for backlot ditches, IRC maintained ponds, and non -pipe culverts is minimal, primarily indicating location with little to no additional data. Many inlets and pipes have incomplete data for additional schema fields. Additionally, the GIS data contains topographic inconsistencies that need to be addressed to create a reliable topographic network. The flow direction of lines is not consistently correct based • on observations and available topographic data, although there is a field to indicate direction. IRC maintained ponds include minimal data, primarily parcel and location information. Elevation, inlet details, and maintenance schedules would augment the dataset. While IRC maintained ponds are those provided by IRC, other water features need to be generated to create a comprehensive hydrologic model. Non -pipe culverts have type and location information but lack details on flow direction and other pertinent information. Pipes have mostly populated fields for diameter, type, material, and location, but other fields such as flow direction and elevations are incomplete. Inlets have a well-designed schema, but most fields, except for type, subtype, and access, are unpopulated.

ESA staff observed standing water at nearly all sites during initial site visits, largely within roadside ditches and swales. Common among many of the priority areas are the needs for maintenance of existing infrastructure and increased stormwater storage. Data gaps shared by all priority areas include the ownership and extent of drainage easements and structures. Additionally, coordination among all stakeholders within IRC, including the City of Vero Beach, the City of Sebastian, the City of Fellsmere, and Indian River Farms Water Control District, is required to determine which stormwater projects can be implemented at these priority areas, and what projects have already been planned, are underway, or completed. Discussion with these stakeholders could also provide insight on how existing flood protection projects have performed after their completion. • • Indian River County 42 ESA / D202300072.01 Stonnwater Management Plan Data Gaps Analysis February 2025 • Contents APPENDIX E.

IRC's draft Stormwater Master Plan includes Project Priority Area 4 — 37th Street, where an existing box culvert drains portions of Indian River Blvd and 37th Street to the east side of IR Blvd onto property owned by the Land Trust. The Land Trust has several concerns about proposed stormwater system changes and intersection modifications at this location: • Will the proposed options result in changes (increase or decrease) in water quantity or water quality from the discharge through the modified box culvert? Changes in water quantity or water quality may affect the quality and function of wetlands on Land Trust property and possibly the ability of Indian River Mosquito Control District to control mosquito populations in this area. • • The location of the new box culvert associated with intersection modifications may affect the Land Trust property and/or the mosquito impoundment that occurs there. Specifically, intersection and drainage improvements at this location must allow the Land Trust to continue to access its property which may entail modification of the existing driveway location to tie into the new intersection configuration. • There is currently no drainage easement for this discharge of runoff from the public right-of- way through the existing box culvert onto Land Trust property. Perhaps a drainage easement is warranted? • There is a drainage canal under Indian River Blvd to the south of the intersection with 37th Street. Perhaps another option should be considered that routs runoff from 37th Street south along Indian River Blvd to this crossing where a bridge exists. I hope that, before concrete plans are made for modifications to the stormwater management system in Priority Area 4, the County and its consultants will consult with those landowners who may be directly affected by the implementation of those plans. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the draft Stormwater Master Plan. Please feel free to contact me with any follow-up questions or comments.

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator THROUGH: Michael C. Zito, Deputy County Administrator Beth Powell, Parks, Recreation, & Conservation Director FROM: Wendy Swindell, Parks, Recreation & Conservation Assistant Director DATE: September 8, 2025 SUBJECT: Environmental Lands Acquisition Status Update Regarding a Purchase Contract - Durrance Place BACKGROUND On March 8, 2022, the County Administrator provided the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners ("BCC") with a proposed resolution authorizing an Environmental Land Bond Referendum for the November 8, 2022, ballot. Resolution 2022-016 was passed by majority vote. The Resolution calls for a Bond Referendum Election for the issuance of general obligation bonds as follows: "To acquire and permanently preserve environmentally significant lands to restore the Indian River Lagoon, protect water resources, natural areas, wildlife habitat, drinking water resources, and construct public access improvements related thereto, shall Indian River County be authorized to issue general obligation bonds up to $50,000,000, maturing within 20 years from each issuance, not exceeding the legal maximum interest rate, payable from ad valorem taxes, with full public disclosure of all spending through annual independent audits." The BCC established the Environmental Land Acquisition Panel (ELAP) as a nine -member group to review information provided during the application process and provide recommendations to the BCC regarding the prioritization of the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands. The ELAP has held twenty meetings between August of 2023 and September of 2025. The County's environmental bond process allows the public to nominate properties for acquisition at any time during the year. Each nomination period is six months, at which time that period closes and nominated properties are ranked by the ELAP. The close of the first ranking period was on August 31, 2024. Throughout the process, staff and consultants have reached out to landowners to determine which parcels had owners wanting to have their property considered for acquisition through the environmental bond process ("willing sellers"). Owners of parcels nominated by the public were contacted via letter, email and telephone to determine whether the owner was a willing seller. The initial nomination period identified twenty- three nominations with willing sellers. Of these twenty-three nominations, sixteen nominations were submitted Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 4 Printed on 9/18/2025 pawaf Legistar' as "fee simple" nominations (County purchases the property outright), and seven were nominated as potential conservation easements. On January 14, 2025, the ELAP met to rank the nominated properties. Following the ELAP ranking, the properties were "Tiered" to prioritize the process of negotiations with landowners. On March 11, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners approved the ELAP Final Ranking and Tiered List of Nominations. At this meeting the Board authorized staff to pursue Tier 1 Ranked Properties for acquisition consistent with the ELAP's recommendation, including the authority to make conditional offers of purchase and sale subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners, and in accordance with Florida Statute Section 125.355. Durrance Place is a Board approved Tier 1 property. The 11.74 -acre property is composed of two parcels located to the east of US Highway 1 and is located approximately 1 mile north of the Wabasso Causeway (S.R. 60). The property was part of the extensive citrus operations present in Indian River County prior to the loss of citrus from disease and other factors. The site currently contains disturbed uplands and wetlands. The Durrance Place property is zoned as RM -6 (Multi -Family Residential, 6 units per acre). The environmental report that was prepared by Water & Air Research, Inc. for this site has been included as Attachment 1. Chapter V of the Environmental Lands Program Guide (ELPG) describes the factors to be used in the evaluation of nominated properties. During the March 11, 2025, Board meeting staff presented a summary of the evaluation factors for each willing seller property, including the Durrance Place project. A brief summary of these factors with respect to the potential acquisition of this property is presented below. Evaluation Factor Project Assessment Natural Communities The site has been cleared of native vegetation; however, the restoration of herbaceous saltmarsh, mangroves, and hammock habitat would result in high quality habitat with increased biodiversity. Potential Habitat Habitat restoration would provide herbaceous saltmarsh and hammock Value habitats, which are rare in Indian River County; these efforts would significantly increase biodiversity for the site. Wildlife Corridor or Should the Hale property to the south be acquired, the site would be Greenway connected to the Indian River Lagoon via a flow way. Landscape Value The proximity to the Indian River Lagoon, the potential to create wetlands for water quality treatment, and the resilient nature of saltmarsh habitat are all beneficial landscape considerations for this site. Recreational & The potential to create walking trails, boardwalks, a possible kayak Educational Value launch, and educational programming opportunities are beneficial considerations for Purchase Need vs. A "No Action" alternative to this site has the potential to result in Other Protection conversion to residential development based on the current zoning. Methods Vulnerability The potential for conversion to residential development is significant. There are wetlands on the site which would have regulatory restrictions; however, the protection of these wetlands may be used to contribute to density calculations for the adjacent uplands. Land Management Restoration of habitats on this property would involve the creation of salt Constraints marsh and hammock habitat. These land uses require minimal land management once established. Adjacent land uses would not be affected y site maintenance. Indian River County, Florida Page 2 of 4 Printed on 9/18/2025 power I LegistarT , Cooperative Given the location adjacent to the Lagoon there are many opportunities Acquisition/Potential for cost share funding for both acquisition and habitat restoration. Grant Opportunities Favorable Market The site has one owner thereby reducing the potential for increasing the Conditions Viming for negotiating the purchase of the property. At the March 11, 2025, BCC meeting, the Board authorized staff to move forward with the next steps in the land acquisition process, which include obtaining two independent appraisals for the subject property, and to undertake purchase negotiations with the landowner based on these appraisals. Staff obtained two independent appraisals for this project. The County's acquisition consultant coordinated with the landowner, and a sale price was negotiated. Pursuant to Section 125.355, F.S., once a landowner has accepted and executed a Purchase Agreement (Attachment 2), appraisal results and other confidential information may be released via Public Notice. The County completed the Public Notice of the availability for public review of the Durrance Place appraisal on September 7, 2025. ANALYSIS When a county exercises its confidentiality right in purchasing real property, Section 125.355, F.S. requires that the county approves the purchase at a public meeting not less than 30 days after the appraisals are released and public notice of the meeting is given. Consistent with Chapter 125, F.S. requirements, this decision will be brought before the Board at the October 7, 2025, BCC meeting. The purchase option contract for this property that will be presented at the October 7, 2025, BCC meeting is summarized as follows: Purchaser: Indian River Board of County Commissioners Seller: Palm Bay Joan, LLC Total Price: $1,260,000.00 Other Costs: Estimated to be $86,100 (appraisal costs, consultants acquisition fee, due diligence assessments) If the property is acquired, the County will pursue cost -share reimbursement of bond acquisition funds used for land purchase through a variety of opportunities such as Florida Communities Trust, Florida Forever, Land and Water Conservation Fund, and the Coastal Partner Initiative. The opportunities for grant funding towards public access improvements and restoration of habitat include many State and federal sources, including the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the Indian River Lagoon Council, the Coastal Partner Initiative, and the Florida Inland Navigation District. Should the property be acquired, the proposed use of the property would be for environmental conservation and passive public recreation. Based on historic land uses in this area, it is presumed that prior to conversion to citrus grove, much of the site was an herbaceous saltmarsh community at lower elevations and pine flatwoods/hammock towards the western limits of the property. Similar to the Jones' Pier Conservation Area, the site affords the opportunity to create wetlands that treat lagoon waters, and a variety of recreation opportunities such as nature trails, wetland overlooks, environmental education and volunteer opportunities. The acquisition of land in close proximity to the IRL aligns with the Bond Resolution as there would be many lagoon benefits provided including: (1) eliminating the potential for high intensity development in proximity to sensitive habitat in the IRL; (2) creating habitat adjacent to the IRL for wildlife that would use wetland habitat not present on the existing property; (3) potential for water quality improvement via the treatment of lagoon waters; and (4) a resilient project that may be designed to withstand changing environmental conditions, thereby affording increased protection for the IRL.

Highway U.S. 1 runs along the southwest boundary of the property approximately one mile north of the intersection with Highway 510 (Bridge Boulevard). There is a private vacant parcel to south (Hale Grove nom- inated property) and a small vacant parcel to the north (Durrance Corner nominated property). To the west is low density residential and a strip mall and to the east is residences with a series of canals for boat access to the Indian River. 1.2 SIZE The property totals approximately 13.1 acres on two tax parcels that form an irregular shaped polygon that is roughly 250m wide by 230m north -south. 1.3 CURRENT AND FUTURE ZONING The current land use zoning is CG - General Commercial District on the southwest portion (tax parcel #31392100000006000015.0) of the assessment property, and the remainder of the assess- ment property (tax parcel #31392100000005000015.0) is labeled RM -6: Multiple -Family Resi- dential District (up to 6 units/acre) (Version 9/04/2024). The future land use zoning on the south- west portion is C/I: Commercial/Industrial and the remaining portion is L-2: Low -Density Resi- dential -2 (6 Units/Acre) (Version 3/28/2024). 1.4 PENDING ZONING CHANGES AND SPECIAL OVERLAY DISTRICTS An inquiry to the Director of Planning & Development Services for Indian River County, Chris Balter, revealed there are no pending zoning changes and was unaware of any Special Overlay Districts affecting the parcel. 2.0 VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES The Durrance Place property straddles two major vegetative community types within Indian River County. The far eastern side of the property resides in the Indian River Lagoon and associated estuarine wetlands portion of the county, and the western portion is within the south Florida flat - woods ecological community that occurs in two distinct regions of Indian River County, east and west. The Durrance Place property is within the eastern portion of the general ecological commu- nity, and predevelopment, consisted of pine flatwoods intermixed with shallow wetlands. This property is adjacent and just east of the Atlantic Coastal Sand Ridge and the scrub communities it harbors. Dunce Place Assessment.docx-101524 409 2.1 LAND USE AND LAND COVER There was one natural community type, and four altered land use types identified on the property from the 2023 Florida Cooperative Landcover Map (CLC) (Figure 2). Approximately 50 percent of the site was identified as Mixed Hardwood -Coniferous. This area consists of former citrus groves and is better described as Successional Hardwood Forest. Similarly, what was called Up- land Hardwood Forest (11 percent), would also be better classified as Successional Hardwood Forest (FNAI 2010). Approximately 38 percent of the site was labeled Mixed Wetland Hardwood. The eastern half of this polygon has remained naturally vegetated; however, the western half of the polygon was planted with citrus in the 1940s through the 1950s. The CLC map Figure 3 and Table 1 present the acreage of each land use and natural community type on the property. Table 1. The amount of each altered land use type or natural community type on the Durrance Place property from the Florida Cooperative Landcover Man (2023).

Mesic and wet flatwoods were likely dominant natural communities on the western portion of the property. Typical trees and shrubs in flatwoods community include slash pine, longleaf pine, gallberry, and saw palmetto with often grasses such as creeping bluestem, lopsided indiangrass, and pineland threeawn. However, a review of the historical imagery reveals most of the habitat on the western side of the site has been altered. Mangrove and estuarine habitats were likely historically dominant on the eastern portion of the property. Characteristic species of mangrove swamps include red mangrove, black mangrove, white mangrove, and buttonwood. Brazilian pepper can be a common component particularly within disturbed estuarine communities. In the 1940s aerial there appears to be some saltmarsh along the eastern boundary and typical salt marsh within the county is an herbaceous community that occurs in the portion of the coastal zone affected by tides and seawater but protected from large waves. Dominant species often include saltmarsh cordgrass, saltwort, glasswort, salt grass, seaside oxeye daisy, Carolina sea lavender, marsh fimbry, shoreline seapurslane, marsh elder, and saltgrass. There were no regionally rare natural community types (e.g., scrub, scrubby flatwoods, maritime hammock) identified on the property from the CLC map or from a review of current and historical aerial imagery. 2 Dms m Place Assessmwt.docx-101524 410 Figure 4 shows the under -represented natural communities mapped by FNAI for the Florida For- ever statewide environmental lands acquisition program that occur on and near the property. No portion of the property was ranked a priority for under -represented natural communities (scale is Priority 1 through 4 with 1 being the highest priority; O=no rank). 2.2 SOILS The soil types found on the Durrance Place Property are represented in Figure 5. The site consists of primarily two soil types, Cypress Lake (8.5 -acres) and EauGallie (4.6 -acres). The typical vege- tation for the Cypress Lake soil series is moderately deep, poorly and very poorly drained soils formed in sandy and loamy marine sediments over a limestone bedrock. They occur on low broad flats, flatwoods, low rises and/or knolls, drainageways, and depressions on marine terraces. Dom- inant natural vegetation typically consists of gallberry, saw palmetto, cabbage palmetto, slash pine, and an understory of pineland threeawn. The EauGallie series consists of very deep, very poorly or poorly drained, slowly permeable soils in flats, sloughs and depressional areas in flatwoods, floodplains, sloughs and depressions in Peninsula Florida. The natural vegetation consists of long- leaf pine, South Florida slash pine, slash pine, fetterbush. The understory vegetation includes run- ning oak, saw palmetto, inkberry, gallberry, wax myrtle, and pineland threeawn. 2.3 HISTORICAL IMAGERY REVIEW Some of the aerial photographs reviewed for this assessment can be found in the Appendix. 1943 February 24 (UF Map Library) - A citrus grove (mix of young and old trees) covers approximately 8 acres of the total 13.1 acres - The eastern boundary is mostly open, likely saltmarsh with possibly some mangroves - The southwest corner of the parcel is adjacent to U.S. 1 and is open nearly treeless with several dirt roads and a small building, the habitat is open with few trees and is likely grazed wet flatwoods - A linear feature, maybe a ditch, runs northwest to southeast through the easternmost grove - Citrus groves are offsite to the south (Hale Grove nominated properties), some groves and very little development offsite to the west, to the north offsite is mostly open flatwoods and more forested progressing east, and the offsite area adjacent to the eastern boundary appears natural and could be a mix of saltmarsh and mangrove 1951 April 4 (UF Map Library - The citrus grove appears maintained - The southwest corner of the parcel is more vegetated and does not appear to be maintained - The linear feature that runs northwest to southeast through the easternmost grove is still evident and now there is a ditch that appears to radiate from it to the east northeast and continues through the adjacent offsite saltmarsh - The natural areas to the northeast and east are largely intact but now have what is today Dur- rance Road and 52nd Court established as dirt roads with accompanying ditches - Most of the adjacent land to the west and northwest is being developed 1957 December 21 (UF Map Library - The westernmost citrus grove appears maintained, the eastern grove is going fallow and filling in with weedy woody vegetation 3 Dumance Place Assessmeat.do —101524 411 - The southwest corner of the parcel has been cleared with some trees remaining and possibly a small structure - The linear feature that runs northwest to southeast through the easternmost grove is evident at the southern boundary No aerial photography was found between 1957 and 1994 1994 March 17 (Google Earth Pro) - The remaining citrus grove contains old trees, possibly fallow, about 4.7 acres of the original 8.3 acres of citrus remain - The eastern fallow citrus grove does not look like a citrus grove anymore (rows of trees are not evident) - Several structures are on the southwestern corner of the parcel - The natural forested areas near the east boundary more densely canopied - 53rd Avenue and accompanying ditches have been constructed along with a series of three canals and several residences east of the site 1999 February 21 (Google Earth Pro) - The remaining 4.7 -acres of citrus are fallow and becoming overgrown - Another building has been constructed in the southwest corner of the property - The forested area on the eastern boundary is intact and the former grove is nearly indistin- guishable from the natural forested eastern portion 2008 October 31 (Google Earth Pro) - No structures are visible on the southwestern corner - No citrus groves are visible anymore - The entire site forested, the former citrus grove likely has invasive exotic species, and the aerial signature is distinct from the forested far eastern area that has mangroves on the eastern bound- ary 2017 January 5 (Google Earth Pro) - The southwestern corner is becoming more densely forested - The entire site is still forested 2020 January 7 (Google Earth Pro) - The entire site is still forested, and some mortality (light signature) is observed in large trees, possibly oaks, along the middle of the southern boundary 2023 May 26 (Google Earth Pro) - The dark tree signature on the southeastern boundary appears to be red mangrove - The Google Earth street view of the southeast corner of the parcel depicts red mangrove and possibly black mangrove within the forest area - The former citrus grove has dense woody vegetation, and the_Google Earth street view shows cabbage palm, exotic palms, Brazilian pepper, live oak, exotic legume trees and many other weedy groundcover, shrub, and tree species - The southwestern corner where the structure was, has been mowed and possibly cleared of shrubs and saplings 4 Dutrance Place Assessment.docx-101524 412 2.4 OFFSITE CONTINUITY OF NATURAL COMMUNITIES Less than 3 acres on the eastern portion of the parcel has remained naturally forested and is con- tiguous with offsite mangrove forest to the north and south. The fallow citrus grove that is infilling with woody species is contiguous with offsite fallow citrus grove to the south of the property (Hale Grove property). The remaining habitat on the property and offsite to the west, south, and east has been developed or altered and there is no continuity with offsite natural communities. 3.0 RARE SPECIES Table 2 includes a list of the animal species and Table 3 includes the plant species that have the potential to occur onsite that are considered endangered, threatened, or rare as listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) and the Florida Department of Agriculture. A search using the FNAI Biodiversity Matrix Map Server, and the FWS Information for Planning and Consulta- tion (IPaQ Tool Resource List was performed for listed species that may potentially occur within the Project Site. These lists were reviewed and only the species that have a potential to occur within the habitats available onsite were included. Additionally, species that are tracked by FNAI or state listed that occur within Indian River that were not included in the Biodiversity Matrix search, but potential habitat occurs onsite, were included in Tables 2 and 3. The majority of the potential rare animals and plants listed for this property are species that can occur in mangrove wetlands or disturbed forested communities. Table 2.

Note these observations are a collection of spe- cies documented in the vicinity by various means and are a very incomplete representation of what may occur in the area or that may utilize this property. The resources selected for documented occurrences in the area included Black Bear Calls, Black Bear Telemetry, Eagle Nesting, Panther Mortality, Panther Telemetry, Scrub Jay, Wading Bird Rookeries, and opportunistic Wildlife Ob- servations. There are no documented wildlife sightings on the Durrance Place property (Figure 6). Figure 7 shows the Critical Lands and Waters Identification Project (CLIP version 4.0) Biodiver- sity Resource Priorities model, which combines several conservation priorities models including the Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas for Florida Forever, Vertebrate Richness, Potential Rare Species Habitat, and Priority Natural Communities Core Data layers. The eastern third of the prop- erty and a small portion of the southwestern corner are mapped as Priority 4 (Priority 1 has the highest conservation priority on a scale from 1 to 5), approximately half of the property was not listed as a priority (Figure 7). 4.0 WETLANDS Approximately 38 percent of the site is covered in wetlands according to the CLC map. The parcel is within the Indian River Lagoon watershed. 4.1 AEREAL EXTENT AND CONNECTIVITY From the CLC map the eastern portion of the property (5 acres) was mapped as primarily mixed wetland hardwoods (Table 1). These wetlands form a linear feature that extends north and south of the site and parallels the Indian River Lagoon. Figure 8 shows the wetlands, waterbodies, and flood zones located on the property from the Na- tional Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps. The NWI map identified 4.9 -acres of Estuarine wetlands, 37.8 percent of the site. 4.2 ALTERATIONS From the available aerial photography, the onsite forested wetlands along the eastern portion have remained largely intact. A series of three canals have been excavated in close proximity offsite to the east and a large ditch/canal has been excavated to the south of this property. Undoubtedly these features have influenced the local hydrology. Since the 1940s the saltmarsh onsite has converted to mangrove forest. It does not appear, from the LiDAR derived digital elevation model, that the former citrus groves were planted on a series of manmade ridges and ditches. Invasive exotic plant infestations could be exceedingly high on this property and in addition to Brazilian pepper, likely species, including within upland areas, are Peruvian primrose willow, creeping oxeye, Guinea grass, lantana, rose Natal grass, Caesar's weed, cogon grass, West Indian dropseed, and rosary pea. 6 Du ce Place Assessmmt.do —101524 414 5.0 WATER RESOURCES 5.1 AQUIFER RECHARGE Figure 9 shows the priority ranking for aquifer recharge on the project site. This is a broad measure focusing on the recharge of springs, sinks, aquifers, natural systems, and water supply. Areas of potential recharge to the Floridan and surficial aquifers were determined from soil hydraulic con- ductivity, proximity to karst features, depth to water, and overburden (Florida Forever Conserva- tion Needs Assessment, Tech Report 2023). The entire site had a priority rank for aquifer recharge with priority values ranging between 4 and 6 and Priority 5 covering the largest proportion of the site (the ranks range 1 through 6 with Priority 1 being the highest priority; O=no rank) (Figure 9). 5.2 WATER QUALITY The wetlands onsite have the potential to aid in maintaining water quality and in situ water purifi- cation of stormwater entering the Indian River Lagoon system from the uplands. 5.3 WATER ATTENUATION The wetland communities can help to store water and reduce the speed of water as it flows over the landscape. 6.0 CORRIDORS AND GREENWAYS The Durrance Place Property is relatively isolated and is not within or immediately adjacent to any greenways or corridors. The east boundary is within 200m of the Indian River Lagoon Blueway Corridor. The closest conservation area, Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area, lies approximately 1,100m to the southwest, Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge is approximately 1,400m east across the Indian River and an unacquired parcel of the Indian River Lagoon Blueway Florida Forever BOT project is within 1,600m to the south (Figure 10). This parcel is part of a group of parcels that have been nominated for acquisition and the total area equals approximately 43 acres. Figure 11 shows the CLIP landscape priority ranking for the property. This model combines pri- orities from the Ecological Greenways and Landscape Integrity Core Data layers. No portion of this property was ranked a priority. 7.0 RESTORATION, LAND MANAGEMENT, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, AND REC- REATION/EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES 7.1 RESTORATION POTENTIAL Possible restoration of the onsite natural communities could include planting of native vegetation in the uplands, stormwater wetland creation/enhancement, and invasive exotic plant species con- trol. Because of the degree to which the uplands have been altered any efforts to recreate natural communities onsite would be challenging. The alterations to the onsite hydrology would need to be more thoroughly assessed to determine the type and amount of restoration that may be beneficial and feasible within the wetlands onsite. 7 Durrance Place Assessment.docx-101524 415 7.2 LAND MANAGEMENT POTENTIAL This site might be suitable for active recreation green space in the upland areas while the wetlands could help maintain a habitat buffer to Indian River Lagoon. 7.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS There are no hazardous waste sites reported on the property from two online sources provided by the Florida Department Environmental Protection Division of Waste Management.

Some examples of potential recreation at this site include natural grass athletic fields, exercise courses, an event gathering location, school or com- munity gardens, to name a few. There is the potential for replanting native vegetation and possi- bly even creating a native arboretum on the parcel. 8.0 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS This parcel is part of a group of parcels that have been nominated for acquisition and the total area equals approximately 43 acres. 9.0 SUMMARY The Durrance Place Property is a 13.1 -acre parcel with disturbed uplands and relatively intact forested wetlands that contains a mix of abandoned citrus grove and estuarine wetlands within the vicinity of the west bank of the Indian River Lagoon. Invasive exotic species infestations are likely in the disturbed uplands. Restoration potential of the uplands is mixed due to more than 80 years of intensive use; however, a stormwater attenuation park and/or recreation facilities for the dis- turbed areas are potential alternatives. 8 Dun=ce Place Assessmem.dmx-101524 416 C O �. m d v J d ON IV ci , Q J a CJ O Q j its 0 U Riper LO Q India cfl o N L W V M z N O w O O Q to O c C � 0 0 o U p LL.

Indian River County, Florida MEMORANDUM File ID: 25-0922 Type: Department Staff Report TO: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator THROUGH: Michael C. Zito, Deputy County Administrator Beth Powell, Parks, Recreation, & Conservation Director 1,39 Indian River County Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov Meeting Date: 9/23/2025 FROM: Wendy Swindell, Parks, Recreation & Conservation Assistant Director DATE: September 8, 2025 SUBJECT: Environmental Lands Acquisition Status Update Regarding a Purchase Contract - Hale Grove Properties BACKGROUND On March 8, 2022, the County Administrator provided the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners ("BCC") with a proposed resolution authorizing an Environmental Land Bond Referendum for the November 8, 2022, ballot. Resolution 2022-016 was passed by majority vote. The Resolution calls for a Bond Referendum Election for the issuance of general obligation bonds as follows: "To acquire and permanently preserve environmentally significant lands to restore the Indian River Lagoon, protect water resources, natural areas, wildlife habitat, drinking water resources, and construct public access improvements related thereto, shall Indian River County be authorized to issue general obligation bonds up to $50,000,000, maturing within 20 years from each issuance, not exceeding the legal maximum interest rate, payable from ad valorem taxes, with full public disclosure of all spending through annual independent audits." The BCC established the Environmental Land Acquisition Panel (ELAP) as a nine -member group to review information provided during the application process and provide recommendations to the BCC regarding the prioritization of the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands. The ELAP has held twenty meetings between August of 2023 and September of 2025. The County's environmental bond process allows the public to nominate properties for acquisition at any time during the year. Each nomination period is six months, at which time that period closes and nominated properties are ranked by the ELAP. The close of the first ranking period was on August 31, 2024. Throughout the process, staff and consultants have reached out to landowners to determine which parcels had owners wanting to have their property considered for acquisition through the environmental bond process ("willing sellers"). Owners of parcels nominated by the public were contacted via letter, email and telephone to determine whether the owner was a willing seller. The initial nomination period identified twenty- three nominations with willing sellers. Of these twenty-three nominations, sixteen nominations were submitted as "fee simple" nominations (County purchases the property outright), and seven were nominated as potential Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 5 Printed on 9/18/2025 POWT jay legistarTM conservation easements. On January 14, 2025, the ELAP met to rank the nominated properties. Following the ELAP ranking, the properties were "Tiered" to prioritize the process of negotiations with landowners. On March 11, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners approved the ELAP Final Ranking and Tiered List of Nominations. At this meeting the Board authorized staff to pursue Tier 1 Ranked Properties for acquisition consistent with the ELAP's recommendation, including the authority to make conditional offers of purchase and sale subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners, and in accordance with Florida Statute Section 125.355. Hale Grove is a Board approved Tier 1 property. The 21.89 -acre property is composed of four parcels located on US Highway 1, and is located approximately 1 mile north of the Wabasso Causeway (S.R. 60). The property was part of the extensive citrus operations present in Indian River County prior to the loss of citrus from disease and other factors. The site currently contains fallow grove and disturbed uplands. The environmental report that was prepared by Water & Air Research, Inc. for this site has been included as Attachment 1. The western portion of the site where the Hale Groves citrus store was located is zoned as CG (General Commercial District). The eastern portion of the site where the fallow grove is located is zoned as RM -6 (Multi -Family Residential, 6 units per acre). Prior to nomination for environmental land acquisition the property had been listed for sale through an agent. Chapter V of the Environmental Lands Program Guide (ELPG) describes the factors to be used in the evaluation of nominated properties. During the March 11, 2025, Board meeting staff presented a summary of the evaluation factors for each willing seller property, including the Hale Grove project. A brief summary of these factors with respect to the potential acquisition of this property is presented below. Evaluation Factor Project Assessment Natural The site has been cleared of native vegetation; however, the Communities restoration of herbaceous saltmarsh habitat would result in high quality habitat with increased biodiversity. Potential Habitat Habitat restoration would provide herbaceous saltmarsh habitat, which Value is rare in Indian River County, and restored forested uplands would increase biodiversity for the site. Wildlife Corridor or The site is connected to the Indian River Lagoon via a flow way. Greenway Landscape Value The proximity to the Indian River Lagoon, the potential to create wetlands for water quality treatment, and the resilient nature of saltmarsh habitat are all beneficial landscape considerations for this site. Recreational & The potential to create walking trails, boardwalks, a possible kayak Educational Value launch, and educational programming opportunities are beneficial considerations for Purchase Need vs. A "No Action" alternative to this site has the potential to result in Other Protection conversion to commercial and residential development based on the Methods current zoning. Vulnerability The potential for conversion to residential development is significant. The lack of regulatory constraints (such as wetlands) increases the potential for development. Indian River County, Florida Page 2 of 5 Printed on 9/18/2025 pow4MY LegistarTl Land Management Restoration of habitats on this property would involve the creation of Constraints salt marsh and hammock habitat. These land uses require minimal land management once established. Adjacent land uses would not be affected by site maintenance. Cooperative Given the location adjacent to the Lagoon there are many Acquisition/Potentia opportunities for cost share funding for both acquisition and habitat Grant restoration. Opportunities Favorable Market The site is owned by two LLC's; however, the corporations have Conditions 1cooperatively negotiated the sale of the property. At the March 11, 2025, BCC meeting, the Board authorized staff to move forward with the next steps in the land acquisition process, which include obtaining two independent appraisals for the subject property, and to undertake purchase negotiations with the landowner based on these appraisals. Staff obtained two independent appraisals for this project. The County's acquisition consultant coordinated with the landowner, and a sale price was negotiated. Pursuant to Section 125.355, F.S., once a landowner has accepted and executed a Purchase Agreement (Attachment 2), appraisal results and other confidential information may be released via Public Notice. The County completed the Public Notice of the availability for public review of the Hale Grove appraisal on September 7, 2025. ANALYSIS When a county exercises its confidentiality right in purchasing real property, Section 125.355, F.S. requires that the county approves the purchase at a public meeting not less than 30 days after the appraisals are released and public notice of the meeting is given. Consistent with Chapter 125, F.S. requirements, this decision will be brought before the Board at the October 7, 2025, BCC meeting. The purchase option contract for this property that will be presented at the October 7, 2025, BCC meeting is summarized as follows: Purchaser: Indian River Board of County Commissioners Seller: Hale 580 US 1 LLC & Hale Grove 4 LLC Total Price: $2,540,000.00 Other Costs: Estimated to be $165,000 (appraisal costs, consultants acquisition fee, due diligence assessments) If the property is acquired, the County will pursue cost -share reimbursement of bond acquisition funds used for land purchase through a variety of opportunities such as Florida Communities Trust, Florida Forever, Land and Water Conservation Fund, and the Coastal Partner Initiative. The opportunities for grant funding towards public access improvements and restoration of habitat include many State and federal sources, including the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the Indian River Lagoon Council, the Coastal Partner Initiative, and the Florida Inland Navigation District. Should the property be acquired, the proposed use of the property would be for environmental conservation and passive public recreation. Based on historic land uses in this area, it is presumed that prior to conversion to citrus grove, much of the site was an herbaceous saltmarsh community at lower elevations and pine flatwoods/hammock towards the western limits of the property. Similar to the Jones' Pier Conservation Area, the site affords the opportunity to create wetlands that treat lagoon waters, and a variety of recreation opportunities such as nature trails, wetland overlooks, environmental education and volunteer opportunities. The acquisition of land in close proximity to the IRL aligns with the Bond Resolution as there would be many Indian River County, Florida Page 3 of 5 Printed on 9/18/2025 poweojv LegistarTA, lagoon benefits provided including: (1) eliminating the potential for high intensity development in proximity to sensitive habitat in the IRL; (2) creating habitat adjacent to the IRL for wildlife that would use wetland habitat not present on the existing property; (3) potential for water quality improvement via the treatment of lagoon waters; and (4) a resilient project that may be designed to withstand changing environmental conditions, thereby affording increased protection for the IRL.

Both parcels were nominated by a local resident with the anticipated acquisition type of Fee Simple. 1.1 LOCATION The assessment property is in eastern Indian River County on Tax Parcels #31392800000300000003.0, #31392100000005000014.0, #31392800000300000002.0, and #31392800000300000001.0 (Figure 1). U.S. Highway 1 runs along the west boundary of the prop- erty approximately one mile north of the intersection with Highway 510 (Bridge Boulevard). There are primarily private vacant parcels to the north and east. To the south is low density residential and a small farm with row crops (pineapple). 1.2 SIZE The property totals approximately 23.3 acres on two disjunct parcels that are separated by a swath of unincorporated Indian River County land that appears to be a set aside for stormwater drainage. Together the Hale Grove parcels are approximately 330m wide by approximately 310m north to south. 1.3 CURRENT AND FUTURE ZONING The current land use zoning is CG - General Commercial District on the portion of the assessment property that was the Hale Grove Storefront property, and the remainder of the assessment property is labeled RM -6: Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) (Version 9/04/2024). The future land use zoning on the Hale Grove Storefront portion is C/I: Commercial/Industrial and the remaining portion is L-2: Low -Density Residential -2 (6 Units/Acre) (Version 3/28/2024). 1.4 PENDING ZONING CHANGES AND SPECIAL OVERLAY DISTRICTS An inquiry to the Director of Planning & Development Services for Indian River County, Chris Balter, revealed there are no pending zoning changes and was unaware of any Special Overlay Districts affecting the parcel. 2.0 VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES The Hale Grove property straddles two major vegetative community types within Indian River County. The far eastern side of the property resides in the Indian River Lagoon and associated estuarine wetlands portion of the county, and the western portion is within the south Florida flat - woods ecological community that occurs in two distinct regions of Indian River County, east and west. The Hale Grove property is within the eastern portion of the general ecological community, and predevelopment, consisted of pine flatwoods intermixed with shallow wetlands. This property is adjacent and just east of the Atlantic Coastal Sand Ridge and the scrub communities it harbors. Hale Grove Assessment.do —101524 467 2.1 LAND USE AND LAND COVER There were three natural community types, and five altered land use types identified on the prop- erty from the 2023 Florida Cooperative Landcover Map (CLC) (Figure 2). Approximately 56 per- cent of the site consists of former citrus groves that are currently an altered landcover type that FNAI recognizes as Abandoned Field (Table 1). The Urban Open Forested (11 percent) and what was called Upland Hardwood Forest (0.2 percent) are also better classified, as Successional Hard- wood Forest (FNAI 2010). Approximately 20 percent of the site has remained naturally forested, primarily within wetland areas. The 12 percent of the site that was labeled Industrial is the location of the former Hale Grove Storefront. The CLC map Figure 3 and Table 1 present the acreage of each land use and natural community type on the property. Table 1.

Mesic and wet flatwoods were likely dominant natural communities on the western portion of the property. Typical trees and shrubs in flatwoods community include slash pine, longleaf pine, gallberry, and saw palmetto with often grasses such as creeping bluestem, lopsided indiangrass, and pineland threeawn. However, a review of the historical imagery reveals most of the habitat on the western side of the site has been altered. Mangrove and estuarine habitats were likely historically dominant on the eastern portion of the property. Characteristic species of mangrove swamps include red mangrove, black mangrove, white mangrove, and buttonwood. Brazilian pepper can be a common component especially within disturbed estuarine communities. In the 1940s aerial there appears to be some saltmarsh along the far eastern boundary and typical salt marsh within the county is an herbaceous commu- nity that occurs in the portion of the coastal zone affected by tides and seawater but protected from large waves. Dominant species often include saltmarsh cordgrass, saltwort, glasswort, salt grass, seaside oxeye daisy, Carolina sea lavender, marsh fimbry, shoreline seapurslane, marsh elder, and saltgrass. N Hale Grove Assessment.dmx-101524 468 There were no regionally rare natural community types (e.g., scrub, scrubby flatwoods, maritime hammock) identified on the property from the CLC map or from a review of current and historical aerial imagery. Figure 4 shows the under -represented natural communities mapped by FNAI for the Florida For- ever statewide environmental lands acquisition program that occur on and near the property. Only a small portion along the eastern boundary was ranked a priority (Priority 3) for under -represented natural communities (scale is Priority 1 through 4 with 1 being the highest priority; 0—no rank). 2.2 SOILS The soil types found on the Hale Grove Property are represented in Figure 5. The site consists of primarily two soil types, Cypress Lake (11.3 acres) and EauGallie (12.0 acres). The typical vege- tation for the Cypress Lake soil series is moderately deep, poorly and very poorly drained soils formed in sandy and loamy marine sediments over a limestone bedrock. They occur on low broad flats, flatwoods, low rises and/or knolls, drainageways, and depressions on marine terraces. Dom- inant natural vegetation typically consists of gallberry, saw palmetto, cabbage palmetto, slash pine, and an understory of pineland threeawn. The EauGallie series consists of very deep, very poorly or poorly drained, slowly permeable soils in flats, sloughs and depressional areas in flatwoods, floodplains, sloughs and depressions in Peninsula Florida. The natural vegetation consists of long- leaf pine, South Florida slash pine, slash pine, fetterbush. The understory vegetation includes run- ning oak, saw palmetto, inkberry, gallberry, wax myrtle, and pineland threeawn. 2.3 HISTORICAL IMAGERY REVIEW Some of the aerial photographs reviewed for this assessment can be found in the Appendix. 1943 February 24 (UF Map Library) - A citrus grove (mix of young and old trees) covers approximately 14.5 acres of the total 23.3 acres, most of the western and southern portions of the assessment site - Three small buildings are on the Storefront parcel (southwest corner) along highway U.S. 1 - The northwest corner is open with few trees adjacent to U.S. 1 and is likely grazed wet flatwoods - The northcentral portion is more densely forested (riparian forest) that drains into a tidal creek that appears to have been dug out through an open saltmarsh in the eastern 115 of the property and the drainage eventually connects to the Indian River Lagoon - The eastern portion of the southern Hale Grove parcel appears natural and forested with possibly a small area of saltmarsh along the boundary - The large central ditch that splits the Hale Grove parcels has not been constructed - Citrus groves are offsite to the north and south of the parcels, U.S. 1 to the west with more groves and some development, and to the east is a mix of saltmarsh and possibly mangrove 1951 April 4 (UF May Library - Citrus trees are more mature with some mortality or replacement in the northcentral grove - The natural appearing forested areas are mostly still intact along with the eastern saltmarsh - In the northwest corner of the northern Hale Grove parcel some clearing and groundcover disturbance is visible Hale Grove Assessment.doex-101524 469 - One structure remains along U.S. 1 on the Storefront parcel and a pit appears to have been excavated in the vicinity - A shed or well pumphouse was constructed in the western portion of the southern grove 1957 December 21 (UF Map Library - About 1/3 of the central grove is bare ground with very young citrus trees - The open eastern saltmarshes have mostly filled in with trees or shrubs, possibly mangrove - The northern boundary is mostly now forested, and the clearing/earthwork is still visible in the northwestern corner No aerial photog_raphy was found between 1957 and 1994 1994 March 17 (Google Earth Pro) - The large central east -west canal that separates the two Hale Grove parcels has been exca- vated - The Hale Storefront parcel (southwest corner) now has a large building and parking lot, with a small amount in citrus - The western and central forested natural areas along the northern boundary were cleared and citrus has been planted - A ditch about 90m south of the canal, that also runs east -west, was constructed in the grove - A north -south ditch/retention pond was constructed behind the Storefront building, it ap- pears to connect to the large central canal and with a ditch/canal (possibly just offsite) along the southern boundary - All of the citrus groves look maintained with large healthy trees - The natural areas on the eastern boundary are now fully forested - The offsite shoreline of the river is now developed, and there are several retention ponds within the mangrove forest 1999 February 21 (Google Earth Pro) - Much of the citrus grove is without trees - The forested areas on the eastern boundary are intact - Citrus remains offsite to the north and south, U.S. 1 is more developed 2003 December 31 (Google Earth Pro) - About 1/3 of the citrus grove has trees, most of the grove appears fallow - Water visible in the ditches and canal - Some limited development on adjacent parcels to the north and south, the offsite grove to the south has been converted to row crops 2008 October 31 (Google Earth Pro) - Almost 1.5 acres at the eastern edge of the north parcel citrus grove is now forested (Brazilian pepper?) and no longer maintained as citrus - Most of the remaining citrus grove has trees and appears marginally cared for (fertilized, irri- gated, mowing, some replanting, etc.) - The eastern forested areas remain intact 4 Hale Grove Assessment.dwx-101524 470 2017 January 5 (Google Earth Pro) - Approximately 11 acres out of the original 14.5 -acre citrus grove still contain citrus trees and are actively mowed and maintained - Some low spots/wet areas (aerial signature is green — possibly algae) occur in the existing groves and appear to correspond to areas of poor health - The forested acreage in the eastern portion of the site is intact and more dense - The large central ditch between the two parcels is filled with vegetation and the onsite ditches are green with floating algae/duckweed 2020 January 7 (Google Earth Pro) - The forested areas in the eastern portion of the site are intact and more dense - The citrus groves are fallow and not maintained, likely because of the effects of citrus greening, and are filling in with woody shrubs and trees - The large building on the Storefront parcel is no longer in use - The ditches and ditch/retention behind the storefront are full of vegetation and hardly visible - The central canal is vegetated and not maintained, possibly lined with Brazilian pepper or something similar - Low/wet spots in the groves with citrus mortality vegetated with weedy species 2021 January 20 ,Google Earth Pro) - The Storefront building has been demolished, but the parking lot and cleared dirt footprint remain - The adjacent ditch/retention is completely vegetated - The forested area in the eastern portion of the site is intact and more dense - The citrus groves are filling in with weedy shrubs and trees, but rows of citrus are still visible 2023 May 26 (Google Earth Pro) - The forested natural community along the sites eastern boundary is intact and more dense - The Google Earth street view of the northeast corner of the northern Hale Grove parcel, depicts red mangrove and possibly black mangrove as a large component of this natural area - Distinct rows are no longer visible in the citrus groves and weedy woody species are more prevalent - Google Earth street view shows cabbage palm, exotic palms, Brazilian pepper, live oak, exotic legume trees and many other weedy groundcover, shrub, and tree species - The signature of the natural forested areas along the eastern boundary is distinct from the fal- low grove - Plant diversity in the disturbed areas appears high, likely with a large component of invasive exotic species 2.4 OFFSITE CONTINUITY OF NATURAL COMMUNITIES Approximately a total of 4 acres on the eastern portion of the parcels has remained forested and is contiguous with offsite mangrove forest. The fallow citrus grove that is infilling with woody spe- cies is contiguous with offsite fallow citrus grove to the north of the property (Durrance Place property). The remaining habitat on the property and offsite to the west and south has been devel- oped or altered and there is no continuity with offsite natural communities. 5 Hale Grove Assessment.docx-101524 471 3.0 RARE SPECIES Table 2 includes a list of the animal species and Table 3 includes the plant species that have the potential to occur onsite that are considered endangered, threatened, or rare as listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) and the Florida Department of Agriculture. A search using the FNAI Biodiversity Matrix Map Server, and the FWS Information, Planning, and Consultation System (IPaQ Resource List was performed for listed species that may potentially occur within the Project Site. These lists were reviewed and only the species that have a potential to occur within the habitats available onsite were included. Additionally, species that are tracked by FNAI or state listed that occur within Indian River that were not included in the Biodiversity Matrix search, but potential habitat occurs onsite, were included in Tables 2 and 3. The majority of the potential rare animals and plants listed for this property are species that can occur in mangrove wetlands or disturbed forested communities. Table 2.

Note these observations are a collection of spe- cies documented in the vicinity by various means and are a very incomplete representation of what may occur in the area or that may utilize this property. The resources selected for documented occurrences in the area included Black Bear Calls, Black Bear Telemetry, Eagle Nesting, Panther Mortality, Panther Telemetry, Scrub Jay, Wading Bird Rookeries, and opportunistic Wildlife Ob- servations. There are no documented wildlife sightings on the Hale Grove property (Figure 6). 6 Hale Grove Assessment doc —101524 472 Figure 7 shows the Critical Lands and Waters Identification Project (CLIP version 4.0) Biodiver- sity Resource Priorities model, which combines several conservation priorities models including the Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas for Florida Forever, Vertebrate Richness, Potential Rare Species Habitat, and Priority Natural Communities Core Data layers. The eastern quarter of the property is mapped as Priority 4 (Priority 1 has the highest conservation priority on a scale from 1 to 5), the remainder of the property was not listed as a priority (Figure 7). 4.0 WETLANDS Approximately 20 percent of the site is covered in wetlands according to the CLC map. The parcel is within the Indian River Lagoon watershed. 4.1 AEREAL EXTENT AND CONNECTIVITY From the CLC map the eastern portion of the property (4.7 acres) was mapped as primarily mixed wetland hardwoods and mangrove swamp (Table 1). These wetlands form a linear feature that extends north and south of the site and parallels the Indian River Lagoon. Figure 8 shows the wetlands, waterbodies, and flood zones located on the property from the Na- tional Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps. The NWI map identified 4.7 -acres of Estuarine wetlands, 20.2 percent of the site. The ditch that runs along the southern boundary was also delineated (0.15 acres) on the NWI map. 4.2 ALTERATIONS From the available aerial photography, the onsite forested wetlands along the eastern portion have remained largely intact. There have been some ditches excavated through the habitat and three ponds have been excavated in close proximity offsite. Undoubtedly these features have influenced the local hydrology. Since the 1940s the saltmarsh onsite has converted to mangrove forest. In the earlier historic photographs, there appeared to be wetter communities (wet flatwoods and a for- ested flow way) near the north boundary that were converted to citrus grove only after the large central ditch/canal that separates the parcels was excavated. LiDAR derived digital elevation model shows that the former citrus groves were planted on a series of manmade ridges and ditches. Invasive exotic plant infestations could be exceedingly high on this property and in addition to Brazilian pepper, likely species, including within upland areas, are Peruvian primrose willow, creeping oxeye, Guinea grass, lantana, rose Natalgrass, Caesar's weed, cogongrass, West Indian dropseed, and rosary pea. 5.0 WATER RESOURCES 5.1 AQUIFER RECHARGE Figure 9 shows the priority ranking for aquifer recharge on the project site. This is a broad measure focusing on the recharge of springs, sinks, aquifers, natural systems, and water supply. Areas of potential recharge to the Floridan and surficial aquifers were determined from soil hydraulic con- ductivity, proximity to karst features, depth to water, and overburden (Florida Forever Conserva- tion Needs Assessment, Tech Report 2023). The entire site had a priority rank for aquifer recharge 7 Hale Grove Assessment.docx-101524 473 with priority values ranging between 3 and 6 and Priority 4 covering the largest proportion of the site (the ranks range 1 through 6 with Priority 1 being the highest priority; O=no rank) (Figure 9). 5.2 WATER QUALITY The wetlands onsite have the potential to aid in maintaining water quality and in situ water purifi- cation of stormwater entering the Indian River Lagoon system from the uplands. 5.3 WATER ATTENUATION The wetland communities can help to store water and reduce the speed of water as it flows over the landscape. 6.0 CORRIDORS AND GREENWAYS The Hale Grove Property is relatively isolated and is not within or immediately adjacent to any greenways or corridors. The east boundary is within 160m of the Indian River Lagoon Blueway Corridor. The closest conservation area, Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area, lies approximately 1,100m to the southwest, Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge is approximately 1,400m east across the Indian River and an unacquired parcel of the Indian River Lagoon Blueway Florida Forever BOT project is within 1,350m to the south (Figure 10). This parcel is part of a group of parcels that have been nominated for acquisition and the total area equals approximately 43 acres. Figure 11 shows the CLIP landscape priority ranking for the property. This model combines pri- orities from the Ecological Greenways and Landscape Integrity Core Data layers. No portion of this property was ranked a priority. 7.0 RESTORATION, LAND MANAGEMENT, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, AND REC- REATION/EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES 7.1 RESTORATION POTENTIAL Possible restoration of the onsite natural communities could include planting of native vegetation in the uplands, stormwater wetland creation/enhancement, and invasive exotic plant species con- trol. Because of the degree to which the uplands have been altered any efforts to recreate natural communities onsite would be challenging. The alterations to the onsite hydrology would need to be more thoroughly assessed to determine the type and amount of restoration that may be beneficial and feasible within the wetlands onsite. 7.2 LAND MANAGEMENT POTENTIAL This site might be suitable for active recreation green space in the upland areas while the wetlands could help maintain a habitat buffer to Indian River Lagoon. 7.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS There are no hazardous waste sites reported on the property from two online sources provided by the Florida Department Environmental Protection Division of Waste Management.

Some examples of potential recreation at this site include natural grass athletic fields, exercise courses, an event gathering location, school or com- munity gardens, to name a few. There is the potential for replanting native vegetation and possi- bly even creating a native arboretum on the parcel. 8.0 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS This parcel is part of a group of parcels that have been nominated for acquisition and the total area equals approximately 43 -acres. 9.0 SUMMARY The Hale Grove Property is a 23.3 -acre parcel with highly disturbed uplands and relatively intact forested wetlands that consist of a mix of abandoned citrus grove and estuarine wetlands within the vicinity of the west bank of the Indian River Lagoon. Invasive exotic species infestations are likely in the disturbed uplands. Restoration potential of the uplands is mixed due to more than 80 years of intensive use; however, a stormwater attenuation park and/or recreation facilities for the disturbed areas are potential alternatives. 9 Rale Grove Assessment.do —101524 475 476 �L C: 1�v 7 O cn w Cn F yJJ 1� C ) t6 0 0 2 IL U t7 � d m N coLL O L � C O N O O O LO O Ryer ind`°n VA, N O N U C L U f0 N � t y N a a o 06 a- - Y > o o L � � W m °� Fo m 0 a� U o O - O O C O c6 ( p U C Of W 0— J C y 7 L ` 0 V) 00 r m � s� N O N Q � .y..

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator Nancy A. Bunt, Assistant County Administrator Addie Javed, P.E., Public Works Director Matthew Soyka, P.E., Land Development Manager 3�J Indian River County Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov Meeting Date: 9/23/2025 FROM: Kari Cundiff, CFM, CRS Coordinator Denise Boehning, ANFI, CFM - Coastal Waterways Design & Engineering, LLC DATE: September 4, 2025 SUBJECT: Adoption of the Repetitive Loss Area Analysis (RLAA) to fulfill the Community Rating (CRS) Program requirements BACKGROUND On July 3, 1978, Indian River County was accepted for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In October 1992, the County also joined the Community Rating System (CRS) Program, which rewards communities that implement floodplain management activities exceeding the NFIP's minimum requirements. Under the CRS program, communities earn points for adopting and enforcing higher standards, which translate into discounts on residents' flood insurance premiums. Indian River County is currently a Class 5 community, providing policyholders with a 25% discount on all flood insurance policies. To achieve and maintain this rating, the County has adopted enhanced floodplain management standards. The foundation of these standards is found in Chapter 930 of the Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Code, first established in 1990 under Ordinance 90-16. On November 6, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 2012-036, which revised the County's floodplain management regulations to align with the Florida Building Code. These updates were adopted to reduce the County's vulnerability to flooding and to improve resiliency against the increasing frequency and severity of flood events. Participation in FEMA's CRS program requires communities to track and address repetitive loss (RL) properties - structures that have sustained repeated flood damage. Each year, FEMA provides communities with updated RL property lists, which include addresses, claim dates, claim amounts, and owner information. Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 powe" y Legistarl"^ CRS communities are responsible for maintaining current RL data. Communities with 50 or more unmitigated repetitive loss properties must: • Research and describe repetitive loss problems • Create and maintain a map of all RL areas • Complete an annual outreach project • Prepare and adopt a Repetitive Loss Area Analysis (RLAA) report. The RLAA serves as a targeted mitigation plan focused on specific areas or structures experiencing repeated flood losses. Unlike community -wide hazard mitigation or floodplain management plans, the RLAA focuses on building -level data, often collected through field visits, to identify the specific causes of flood damage and recommend site-specific mitigation solutions. This process helps Indian River County maintain CRS compliance while proactively protecting residents, reducing future flood risk, and strengthening community resiliency. ANALYSIS Indian River County staff followed the five-step planning process outlined in the 2017 CRS Manual and the 2021 CRS Manual Addendum. 1. Mapping of Repetitive Loss Areas 1. For privacy purposes, repetitive loss (RL) properties were grouped into Repetitive Loss Areas (RLAs) rather than mapped individually. In total, Indian River County identified and mapped 34 RLAs. 2. Property Owner Outreach 2. Staff contacted each property owner within the identified RLAs to provide information and invite comments. Feedback received was incorporated into a statistical analysis of the repetitive loss areas. 3. Coordination with Other Agencies 3. Staff reviewed and incorporated data from multiple sources, including the Vulnerability Analysis, Flood Insurance Study, Stormwater Master Plan, and Flood Insurance Claims data, to better understand the causes and impacts of flooding within the RLAs. 4. Site Visits and Data Collection 4. Site visits were conducted to all properties within the RLAs. Data collected during these visits allowed staff to make preliminary determinations of repetitive flooding issues and to identify appropriate mitigation measures. Each of the 34 RLAs was evaluated individually. 5. Development of Mitigation Alternatives 5. In the final step, staff developed a range of mitigation alternatives, identified potential funding sources, and evaluated the pros and cons of each option. Based on this evaluation, staff prepared recommendations to mitigate repetitive loss properties and reduce future flood damage. BUDGETARYIMPACT There is no budgetary impact to Indian River County, but with the adoption of the Repetitive Loss Area Analysis (RLAA) report, property owners in the County will be provided a 25% discount on all flood insurance policies. PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS November 6, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 2012-036 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the Repetitive Loss Area Analysis (RLAA) to fulfill the Community Rating (CRS) Program requirements.

When you think about floods, the larger ones that result from hurricanes or the overflow of major rivers are the ones that tend to be remembered — such as that from Hurricanes Jeanne and Frances in 2004, Katrina in 2005, most recently Milton and Helene in 2024, and record rainfalls associated with these and other storm events. However, smaller floods also contribute to the nation's repetitive flood problem. Often called "nuisance flooding", these low-level floods can be the result of inadequate drainage or localized stormwater problems such as ponding of water, clogged culverts or drains, obstructed drainageways, sewer backup, overbank flow from ditch or even from a homeowner's filling in a drainage swale. For many repetitively flooded properties, these smaller floods represent most, or all of the flood insurance claims paid on a building, especially for buildings located in the low-risk flood zones (B, C and X zones). Indian River County experiences not only localized flooding but storm surge and stormwater runoff. Most of the repetitive loss properties in unincorporated Indian River County date back to Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne, which hit Indian River County in August and September 2004. Both hurricanes impacted the County with significant force, causing $3+ billion in damage (combined) countywide. Indian River County was declared an area of national disaster as a result of these two hurricanes that impacted the County within three weeks of each other. Purpose A repetitive loss area analysis (RLAA) is a mitigation plan for areas that have or are expected to experience repetitive losses from flooding. During this analysis, detailed building information was collected through field visits to develop an understanding of the exact causes of repetitive flood damage at those sites. The purpose of the RLAA is to generate mitigation solutions for individual buildings or areas, in contrast to a hazard mitigation or Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 4.1 Page 506 floodplain management plan, which examines community -wide flooding problems and solutions. Even though the purpose of a RLAA is to bring about mitigation on individual building sites within the community, it sometimes takes a collective effort from local, state, and federal agencies to implement certain mitigation measures. This is particularly true for many techniques like elevation or acquisition of structures, if Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant funding is utilized. As with a floodplain management plan prepared for FMP (floodplain management planning) credit under the Community Rating System (CRS), a RLAA requires that the community follow a standard planning process. The RLAA process has five planning steps as compared to a more detailed 10 -step process for a floodplain management plan. Depending on the number of repetitive loss properties, a RLAA will require more data -specific detail about buildings within the defined areas subject to repetitive losses. The community can receive CRS credit for both a floodplain management plan and a repetitive loss area analysis (FMP and RLAA credit, respectively). The two can be prepared at the same time, since some of the planning steps overlap; however, the two planning documents should remain separate and not be combined (as annexes or subsections for example) because of the annual progress reports and update requirements of CRS. Definition of Repetitive Loss For CRS purposes, a repetitive loss property is any insurable building for which two or more claims of more than $1,000 were paid by the National Flood,.:...._:._ Insurance Program (NFIP) within any rolling ten-year period since 1978 (the year at which consistent claims data collection began). Therefore, a building with paid NFIP claims of more than $1,000 in 1979 and again in 1980 is considered a repetitive loss property until that building's flood problem is mitigated. On the other hand, a building with paid NFIP claims of more than $1,000 in 1994 and again in 2013 would not be a repetitive loss property since more than 10 years elapsed between the first and second losses. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 5 507 1 TERMINOLOGY REPETITIVE LOSS: Any insurable building for which two or more claims of more than $1,000 were paid by the NFIP within any rolling 10 -year period, since 1978. Two of the claims paid must be more than 10 days apart but, within 10 years of each other. A repetitive loss property may or may not be currently insured by the NFIP. SEVERE REPETITIVE LOSS: As defined by the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004, SRLs are 1-4 family residences that have had four or more claims of more than $5,000 or at least two claims that cumulatively exceed the building's value. The Act creates new funding mechanisms to help mitigate flood damage for these properties. Severe repetitive loss (SRL) properties are another class of repetitive loss. These properties, defined under the 2004 Flood Insurance Reform Act, are those buildings that either have four or more claims of $5,000 or more, or have at least two claims that cumulatively exceed the building's value. FEMA is required by the Act to define SRL properties for multi -family buildings. This subset of SRL properties also include non-residential buildings that meet the same criteria as for 1- 4 family properties. The flood insurance on these properties is serviced by FEMA through a Special Direct Facility and not by individual Write Your Own insurance companies. A repetitive loss designation runs with a building even if ownership of the building changes. The repetitive loss designation of a building will remain on the community's list even after the insurance policy has lapsed, has been terminated, or the building's risk has been mitigated. More information about the repetitive loss list is discussed in Section 2. The Repetitive Loss List. 1 Building Value: This value is calculated using the Actual Cash Value (in-kind replacement cost depreciated for age, wear and tear, neglected and quality of construction), determined by a qualified independent appraiser, or tax assessment value adjusted to approximate value. Indian River County 6 Repetitive Loss Analysis 508 Addressing Repetitive Loss and Severe Repetitive Loss Properties There are more than 5.3 million NIFP policies across the United States in more than 22,000 communities. About 160,000 of these properties have suffered repetitive losses as of 2015. Since 1978, approximately $9 billion has been paid to these properties, which represents about one-quarter of all flood insurance claim payments. Many of these buildings are uninsured today, even though they remain on a community's repetitive loss list. It is the responsibility of every community that participates in the CRS program to address its entire repetitive loss problem (those buildings on FEMA's Repetitive Loss List and those adjacent buildings with the same or similar flood condition). Through RLAA, the community develops a better understanding of the source of its flood damage and can provide more meaningful mitigation solutions to those property owners. Benefits of a Repetitive Loss Area Analysis Homeowners often want a solution to their repetitive flood problems because they must continually clean up and repair their homes and can even be displaced for a period of time. In response, communities usually provide advice and assistance to property owners who have been flooded or have drainage problems. From a state and national perspective, mitigating repetitive loss properties makes economic sense and reduces the financial burden on the National Flood Insurance Fund (NFIF). Reducing repetitive flood claims can help strengthen the solvency of the NFIF. But more importantly, reducing damage to repetitively flooded buildings make communities safer. By participating in the CRS program, the RLAA can help increase mitigation opportunities on repetitively flooded buildings in the community, reduce future damage to them, and also provide up to 140 points of credit under Activity 510 of the CRS program. The Repetitive Loss List To participate in the CRS program, a community must maintain and update its repetitive loss data. Maintaining this data also helps a community accurately identify its repetitive flooding problems and appropriate mitigation measures. Each year, FEMA generates a list of repetitive loss properties for all communities that participate in the CRS program and those who are interested in applying to CRS. At minimum, these data include the property address, dates of claims, amount of each claim, and the Indian River County 7 Repetitive Loss Analysis 509 current insured and/or previous owner's name. Communities are required to provide updates to their repetitive loss list when preparing the RLAA to disclose when properties have been mitigated, protected, or are not located in the community's jurisdiction. The Privacy Act Flood Insurance and repetitive loss data are protected bythe Privacy Act of 1974. The data included personally identifiable information (PII), such as the addresses of insured properties. This information must not be made available to the public. The data should be kept in a safe place and marked "For Internal Use Only. Protected by the Privacy Act". FEMA will assign a password to access digital files that contain flood insurance data or PH. (5USC.§552a). Any time updates are made to a community's repetitive loss list, the total number of repetitive loss properties change. When that number is adjusted, a community's repetitive loss category can also change. For CRS communities, the number of unmitigated properties left on the updated list determines the community's additional requirements. A community will fall into one of these three categories: Category A: A community with no unmitigated repetitive loss properties. No special requirements for CRS program purposes. Category B: A community with at least one, but fewer than 50, unmitigated repetitive loss properties. Category B communities are required by CRS to research and describe the repetitive loss problem, create a map showing the location of all repetitive loss properties (areas) and complete an annual outreach activity directed to repetitive loss properties. Category C: A community with 50 or more unmitigated repetitive loss properties. Category C communities are required to do everything in Category B and prepare either a floodplain management plan that covers all repetitive loss properties (areas) or prepare a RLAA for all repetitive loss areas. Mapping Repetitive Loss Areas It is important to distinguish between a repetitive loss property and a repetitive loss area. A repetitive loss property was defined earlier in Section 1. There are several reasons why a property might be subject to repetitive flooding but may not appear on a FEMA's repetitive loss list for that community, so it is important to examine ALL of the repetitive flooding problems. If only the properties on the list are examined, then only part of the entire problem is addressed. Therefore, it is important that all buildings with the same exposure to repetitive Indian River County 8.1 P a g e Repetitive Loss Analysis 510 flooding be identified in an "area". This is what is meant by "map a repetitive loss area". For purposes of this RLAA, each unmitigated repetitive loss and severe repetitive loss property was located on a map. Lines were drawn around those areas with similarly situated properties, such as being subject to flooding or being lower -lying than surrounding properties. Other RLAA areas were mapped by drawing lines around properties with the same or similar flood condition as the repetitive loss property. Section 2 Criteria RLAA Five -Step Planning Process Indian River County (CID 120119) has been a regular participant in the NFIP since July 3, 1978. In addition to meeting the basic requirement of the NFIP, Indian River County has completed additional floodplain management activities to participate in the Community Rating System (CRS) program, which rewards local communities with insurance premium discounts for taking actions to reduce flood risk and vulnerability. Indian River County entered the CRS Program on October 1, 1992. Indian River County is currently a CRS Class 5 community which rewards all policy holders with a 25 percent reduction in their flood insurance premiums. As defined in Section 1 The Repetitive Loss List, any community with 50 or more repetitive loss properties — considered a "Category C community" — must map repetitive loss areas, describe its repetitive loss problem, undertake outreach to all addresses in the repetitive loss areas that have insurable buildings, and prepare and adopt a repetitive loss area analysis (RLAA) for all repetitive loss areas. As of April 2025, Indian River County has 110 unmitigated repetitive loss properties. Of these 100 unmitigated properties 10 are in other Indian River County municipalities and are excluded from this RLAA. To date Indian River County has not mitigated any properties on this list. Mapping Repetitive Loss Areas for Indian River County For purposes of this RLAA report Indian River County has mapped repetitive loss areas where buildings are similarly constructed, and flooding characteristics and mitigation measures are uniform. Indian River County has identified 34 repetitive loss areas, in accordance with the principles outlined in the 2017 CRS Coordinators Manual and as described above in Section 1 Mapping Repetitive Loss Areas. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis a 511 N Step 1 Contact Property Owners Before field work began on the RLAA, individual letters were mailed to property owners within the 34 identified repetitive loss areas. Figure 2.2 on the following page shows an example of the property owner notification letter. Letters were mailed to properties within each area, including repetitive loss properties and additional properties with similar flooding conditions but which have no claims paid against the NFIP. On March 3, 2025 Indian River County mailed approximately 900 letters to property owners. A copy of the letter mailed is on file with the Indian River County Engineering Division. In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the mailing list will not be shared with the general public. As part of the Step 1 planning process and notifying the property owners, the participation of the property owners is requested as well. For this purpose, a questionnaire was included with each letter. The questionnaire asks about the foundation type of the property, type and cause of flooding (if applicable) and flood protection measures. The Flood Protection Questionnaire is depicted in Figure 1.3. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis ill 513 Flood Protection Questionnaire Name Property Address 1.

Of the homes that responded to the survey only 2 homes were also on the FEMA repetitive loss list. All the other homes were not on the FEMA repetitive loss list, which would lead us to believe that either these homes did not have flood insurance and/or did not file a flood insurance claim. 2. 35% of those who responded experienced flooding in 2004 from the Jeanne and Frances hurricanes. Another 30% experienced flooding from hurricane Milton in 2024. 3. 55% of those property owners that experienced flooding had flood waters reach above the 15t floor height and 22% experienced flooding in their yard. 4. Of those property owners that experienced flooding, 36% had storm sewer backup, while 15% had sanitary sewer backup and 21% experienced flooding due to drainage from nearby properties and overbank flooding. 5. 43% of the homeowners who experienced flooding did nothing, while 29% installed a backup generator and 14% re -graded the yard or sandbagged. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 171 519 Step 2 Contact Other Agencies Indian River County contacted external agencies and internal departments that have plans or studies that could affect the cause or impacts of flooding within the identified repetitive loss areas. The data collected was used to analyze the problems further and to help identify potential solutions and mitigation measures for property owners. The reports utilized and reviewed included: • Indian River County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy— updated 2020 • Indian River County Code of Ordinances —Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Ordinance • Indian River County Climate Vulnerability Assessment — March 2025 • FEMA Flood Insurance Study (FIS) • FEMA — Currently FEMA is not able to provide and repetitive loss data including claims data Summaries of Studies and Reports Indian River County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy, Updated 2020 The purpose of the Indian River County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) is to develop a unified approach among County and municipal governments for dealing with identified hazards and hazard management problems in the Indian River County area. The strategy will serve as a tool to direct the County and municipal governments in their ongoing efforts to reduce their vulnerabilities to impacts produced by both natural, technological, and societal hazards to which Florida is exposed. The strategy will also help establish funding priorities for currently proposed mitigation projects and for such disaster assistance funds as may be made available for disaster activities. The ultimate objective of the LMS process is to improve the total communities' resistance to damage from known natural, technological and societal hazards; place Indian River County in a position to compete more effectively for pre- and post -disaster funding; reduce the cost of disasters at all levels; speed community recovery from disasters that occur. The Indian River County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy is currently going through its 5 -year update. It is expected to be completed by August 2025. Indian River County Code of Ordinances — Stormwater Management and Flood Protection The Indian River County Code of Ordinances establishes provision for flood hazard reduction. Specific standards include requiring that new construction be elevated to the base flood elevation plus 1.5 foot, tracking substantial improvements over a 10- year period, that enclosures below the lowest floor cannot be used for living space. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 520 Indian River County Stormwater Management Plan — May 2025 The 2025 Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) focuses on providing Indian River County an initial framework for allocating resources related to stormwater improvement projects. The primary objectives of the SMP are improving water quality in the Indian River Lagoon and improving flooding and resilience throughout Indian River County. The SMP aims to mitigate the adverse effects of flooding specifically in nine (9) priority areas identified by Indian River County as being particularly prone to flooding. IRC identified 9 priority areas based on previous flooding concerns. The SMP analysis examined existing stormwater systems, their capacity to handle various storm events, and limitations that may contribute to flooding. Many of the residential areas contain older homes with outdated drainage infrastructure, or none at all. The Fellsmere Priority Area is the largest of the Priority Areas, followed by 4th Street and 8th Street and then Rockridge. Larger areas will require a significant investment to alleviate flooding concerns compared to areas like 90th Avenue for example, which is limited to a specific corridor where localized conceptual improvements can be implemented. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 191 521 FEMA Flood Insurance Study, Effective January 26, 2023 FEMA's Effective FIS for Indian River County, FL is dated January 26, 2023. The FIS revised and updated information on the existence and severity of flood hazards within Indian River County. The FIS also includes revised digital Flood Insurance Maps which reflect updated Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) and flood zones for the county. Indian River County Climate Vulnerability Assessment, March 2025 In 2025, Indian River County finalized its Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment, evaluating various flood scenarios, ranging from typical rainfall events to extreme compound flooding, integrating storm surge with projected sea level rise. The vulnerability assessment identified 10 focus areas where vulnerability was found to be higher than average while hosting a higher concentration of critical assets. The term "critical asset" encompasses a wide range of essential infrastructure, facilities, and resources, categorized into transportation, critical infrastructure, emergency facilities, and natural/cultural assets. These focus areas host assets such as schools, power plants, evacuation zones and emergency operation centers. As some of these focus areas encompass, or reside near identified repetitive loss areas, it is possible that implementation projects aiming to resolve infrastructure vulnerabilities may benefit the nearby repetitive loss area as well. FEMA Repetitive Loss and Flood Insurance Claims Data The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 522a) restricts the release of flood insurance policy and claims data to the public. This information can only be released to state and local governments for use in floodplain management related activities. Therefore, all claims data in this report are only discussed in general terms. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 20 522 Step 3 Building Data Collection Each building in the repetitive loss area must be visited to collect data and make a preliminary determination of repetitive flooding and appropriate mitigation measures. The on-site field surveys investigated numerous factors including, but not limited to, drainage patterns around the building, location and elevation of HVAC units, the condition of the structure, the foundation, gutters and downspouts, nearby drainage ditches and storm drains. Other data incorporated from off-site research included a review of the FEMA Flood Insurance maps, the location of the repetitive loss areas in relation to FEMA flood zones and the Property Appraiser website, and the vulnerable areas identified in the Indian River County Vulnerability Analysis. FEMA has developed the National Flood Mitigation Data Collection Tool to assemble information related to risk, building construction, and costs of mitigation measures. This tool was not utilized for this effort. Indian River County has identified 34 repetitive loss areas as follows: Repetitive Loss Areas 1, 3 and 4 This area is located on the Indian River Lagoon and subject to riverine flood hazards. The majority of homes in this area are located in Flood Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 5 to 6 feet. Repetitive Loss Area 4 has parcels on the Lagoon and Ocean side that are located in a CBRSZ zone. Of the repetitive loss properties in this area only 2 properties are in Zone X. Many of the homes in this area were developed between 1965 to 1974 and many of the existing homes remain from that time. The area was developed prior to the creation of the St. Johns Water Management District and current stormwater management regulatory requirements, as such the community is not served by any stormwater management facilities that would provide flood control, stormwater discharge attenuation or water quality treatment. Site visits showed many homes slab on grade and and not having elevated HVAC systems. z CBRS— Coastal Barrier Resource System are areas that include ocean -front land and other Other Protected Areas. Coastal barriers serve as important buffers between coastal storms and inland areas, often protecting properties on land from serious flood damage. Properties in CBRS areas are not eligible for federally regulated flood insurance. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 21 523 Repetitive Loss Area 2 Repetitive Loss Area 2 is located at the border of Brevard County near a riverine floodway and subject to increased flooding. A number of the homes in this area are in a designated floodway, built in the last 70s. However, most of the homes in this repetitive loss area are in Zone X and only a few structures with HVAC systems are elevated. Repetitive Loss Area 5 Repetitive Loss Area 5 is nestled in the Blue Cypress Fish Camp in the western most part of Indian River County. This area is in a Flood Zone AE with a Base Flood Elevation of 26 feet. The homes in this segment are all mobile homes that have been there since the 50's and 60's. In addition to being located at a main flooding source, Blue Cypress Lake, these mobile homes have been there for a long time and have not been substantially improved and/or elevated. Repetitive Loss Area 6 Repetitive Loss Area 6 is located west of 195, north of County Road 512. The structures in this repetitive loss area are all in Zone X and are comprised of mostly commercial buildings and some single-family homes. Repetitive Loss Areas 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 These repetitive loss areas are primarily located in Northeast Indian River County. The properties here are facing the Indian River Lagoon. Each property in this group is within the LiMWA3 line in Zone AE with base flood elevations of 6.0 to 7.0 feet. In addition to being in low-lying areas, the majority of homes were constructed in the 1920s to 1950s and as such have not been elevated. Only two homes in this area have recently been demolished and are currently being rebuilt. Flooding in this area is known to occur during most rain events with significant impacts during hurricanes. There is no established drainage receiving system other than the Indian River Lagoon, which is tidally influence. 3 LiMWA is the Limit of Moderate Wave Action shown on the Flood Insurance Maps as areas that are subject to storm damage from wave heights between 1.5 and 3 feet,---._ Indian River County 22 0a g e Repetitive Loss Analysis 524 Repetitive Loss Area 12 This area is west of the barrier island near 66th Avenue. There are currently very few homes in the AE zone with base flood elevations between 20 to 21 feet. The low marshy areas surrounding this group indicates a potential for saturated soils that may not drain adequately during a rain event. The few homes located in this area are older homes that were built in the late 1960s. Repetitive Loss Area 13 Most of the structures in this area are in Zone X with only a few of them in Flood Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 5.0 feet. Repetitive Loss Area 13 is located west of the Indian River lagoon, which homes built in the 1980's. This neighborhood was constructed with less than effective drainage systems that ties into a tidally influenced retention area. Repetitive Loss Areas 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 The repetitive loss areas 14 and 15 are near each other West of Old Dixie Highway located in Zone X. Repetitive Loss Areas 16 and 17 are located even further West on SR 60 near 82nd Avenue. Repetitive Loss Area 18 is also located on SR 60 towards °`.:-•Y' 58th Avenue. These areas have been grouped together as the entire area is located in Zone X. All these areas have older, poorly maintained drainage swales in common. Furthermore, the majority of homes in this area were constructed in the 1950s to late 1970s. The grading in this area does not meet the current building code requirements, which would explain the area being inundated during normal rain events. Repetitive Loss Area 19 and 20 Repetitive Loss Areas 19 and 20 are very close to each other. This area is located on a small canal system in central Indian River County. The area is mostly AE with a base flood elevation of 4.0. The drainage system in this area is known for struggling during the rainy season. The canal outflow is tidally influenced and does not work as effectively as desired. Additionally, the homes in this area were constructed as early as the 1950s and are slab on grade. This area was also heavily impacted by hurricanes Jean and France in 2004. Repetitive Loss Areas 21, 22, 23 and 24 In this repetitive loss area only area 22 has homes located in a special flood hazard area; Zone AE with a BFEs ranging between 20 to 21 feet. The homes in this area are also older home Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 23 525 constructed in the 1950s to 1980s as slabs on grade. Notably this area has poor drainage, it does not have a designated drainage receiving system. Therefore this area experiences much ponding after a normal rain event. Repetitive Loss Area 25 This repetitive loss area is located in eastern central Indian River County between Highway US1 and the Indian River lagoon. The drainage improvement projects completed- - in 2008 did not provide the flooding relief that l was hoped for. The canal system that meanders through the subdivisions is directly connected `y~� to the Indian River lagoon and is heavily affected by { the tides. The homes in this area were constructed in _.-' the 1930's to 1980s and are built slab on grade. The necessary slope away from the structure that is currently required by the Florida Building Code was not applicable at the time of construction that would protect the foundations from inundation. Repetitive Loss Areas 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34 These areas are grouped together as they are all located on the barrier island and share the same flooding source, the Indian River Lagoon. While some of these properties are in Zone X (repetitive loss area 27), the majority of the homes are in Zone AE. This area is not only affected by rain events but is also tidally influenced. Many of the repetitive loss areas drainage systems are outdated, in disrepair or undersized and not well interconnected. As existing infrastructure struggles to cope with increased volumes of runoff, localized flooding has worsened in these areas. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 24 1 526 Step 4 Mitigation Alternatives According to the 2017 CRS Coordinator's Manual, mitigation measures should fall into one of the following floodplain management categories: • Prevention • Property Protection • Natural Resource Protection • Emergency Services • Structural Projects • Public Information and Outreach Property protection is essential to mitigating repetitive loss properties and reducing future flood losses. There are many ways to protect a property from flood damage. Property protection measures recognized in the 2017 CRS Coordinator's Manual include relocation, acquisition, building elevation, retrofitting, sewer backup protection, and insurance. Different measures are appropriate for different flood hazards, building types and building conditions. Below lists typical property protection measures: • Demolish the building or relocate it.out of harm's way. • Elevate the building above the flood level. • Elevate damage -prone components, such as the furnace or air conditioning unit. • Dry floodproof the building so water cannot enter. • Wet floodproof portions of the building so water won't cause damage. Construct a berm or redirect drainage away from the building. • Maintain nearby streams, ditches, and storm drains so debris does not obstruct them. • Correct sewer backup problems. Source: 2017 CRS Coordinators Manual Improving the stormwater drainage system and storage capacity throughout the County can eliminate some building damage and road closures in these areas. Similarly, improving drainage outfalls can reduce stormwater flooding from heavy rains. These structural methods require large capital expenditures and cooperation from private property owners. Promoting floodproofing techniques and flood insurance and increasing public education and awareness of the flood hazards can be the next best alternative for property owners in this area. The County's websites, e-mail distribution lists, press releases and variable message boards can help get these messages out to business owners and residents. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 2S 527 Mitigation Funding There are several types of mitigation measures, listed in Table 2.4, which can be considered for each repetitive loss property. Each mitigation measure qualifies for one or more grant programs. Depending on the type of structure, severity of flooding and proximity to additional structures with similar flooding conditions, the most appropriate measure can be determined. In addition to these grant funded projects, several mitigations measures can be taken by the homeowner to protect their home. Please note, the Biggert- Waters 2012 National Flood Insurance Reform Act eliminated the previously available Repetitive Flood Claims grant program. Table 4.1 Mitigation Measures Acquisition of the entire property by a govt Relocation of the building to a flood free site Demolition of the structure Elevation of the structure above flood levels Replacing the old building with a new elevated structure Local drainage and small flood control projects --------- ------ ---- ----- Dry floodproofing`(non-residential only) Percent paid by Federal Program Application Notes Application notes: X X X X X 75% 75% 76% 75% 100% 1 0 1,2 1 1 1 3`. 2,4 1.

This is a low interest loan that must be paid back. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 26 528 Potential Mitigation Measures Dry ffoodproofing: Commercial structures and Provide public education through even residential structures are eligible for dry posting information about local flood floodproofing; however, in many instances this hazards on municipal websites, requires human intervention to complete the posting signs at various locations in measure and ensure success. For example, neighborhoods or discussing flood installing watertight shields over doors or protection measures at local windows requires timely action by the neighborhood association meetings. homeowner; especially in a heavy rainfall event. Wet floodproofing: Wet floodproofing a Implement volume control and Protecting the coastline by structure involves making the uninhabited runoff reduction measures in the preserving natural habitat and portions of the structure resistant to flood Municipal Stormwater Management allowing setback for construction` ; damage and allowing water to enter during Ordinance flooding. For example, in a basement or crawl space, mechanical equipment and ductwork would not be damaged.

Improve stormwater system maintenance Protecting the coastline by program to ensure inlets and canals are free of preserving natural habitat and clogging debris allowing setback for construction` ; Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 271 529 Current Mitigation Projects From the above list of structural and non-structural mitigation alternatives, the Indian river County has and is currently implementing the following: Structural alternatives: 1. Wet floodproofing - requiring attached garages to install flood vents if finished floor of garage is below BFE. Elevating machinery and equipment to min. BFE+1 foot. 2. Implement drainage improvements and improve stormwater system maintenance program (see below projects) Non-structural alternatives: 1. Annual outreach projects 2. Regulation in City's Stormwater Management Plan 3. Encouraging the purchase of flood insurance The most recent 2025 Stormwater Management Plan proposes some remedies, including expanding the coastal buffer areas — natural, undeveloped, pervious areas along the Indian River Lagoon —this would increase the ability to capture and treat stormwater during times of lower water levels and absorb the effects of storm surge, king tides and alleviate sunny date flooding. The Stormwater Management Plan addresses the top priority areas for improving the drainage system. These top priority areas include the repetitive loss areas. Advantages and Disadvantages of Mitigation Measures Seven primary mitigation measures are discussed here: acquisition, relocation, barriers, floodproofing, drainage, elevation, and insurance. In general, the cost of acquisition and relocation will be higher than other mitigation measures but can completely mitigate risk of any future flood damage. Building small barriers to protect single structures is a lower cost solution, but it may not be able to offer complete protection from large flood events and may impact flood risk on other properties. Where drainage issues are the source of repetitive flooding, drainage improvements can provide flood mitigation benefits to multiple properties. Each of these solutions is discussed in greater detail as follows: Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 28 1 530 Acquisition: Property acquisition and/or relocation are complex processes requiring transferring private property to property owned by the local government for open space purposes. Acquisition is a relatively expensive mitigation measure, but it provides the greatest benefit in the lives and property. The major cost for the acquisition method is for purchasing the structure and land. The total estimated cost for acquisition should be based on the following: • Purchase of Structure and land • Demolition • Debris removal, including any landfill processing fees • Grading and stabilizing the property site • Permits and plan review Permanently removes problem since the structure no longer exists Allows a substantially damaged or substantially improved structure to be brought into compliance with the community's floodplain management ordinance or law Expands open space and enhances natural and beneficial functions May be fundable under FEMA mitigation grant programs Cost may be prohibitive Resistance may be encountered by local communities due to loss of tax base, maintenance of empty lots, and liability for injuries on empty community -owned lots There are 3 criteria that must be met for FEMA to fund an acquisition project: • The local community must inform the property owners interested in the acquisition program that the community will not use condemnation authority to purchase their property and that the participation in the program is strictly voluntary, • The subsequent deed to the property to be acquired will be amended such that the landowner will be restricted from receiving any further Federal disaster assistance grants, the property shall remain in open space in perpetuity, and the property will be retained in ownership by a public entity, and, • Any replacement housing or relocated structures will be located outside the 100 - year floodplain. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 29 1 531 Relocation: Relocation involves lifting and placing a structure on a wheeled vehicle and transporting that structure to a site outside the 100 -year floodplain and placed on a new permanent foundation. Like acquisition, this is one of the most effective mitigation measures. Advantages Disadvantages Removes flood problem since the Cost may be prohibitive structure is relocated out of the flood - prone area Allows a substantially damaged or Additional costs are likely if the structure substantially improved structure to be must be brought into compliance with brought into compliance with a current code requirements for plumbing, community's floodplain management electrical, and energy systems ordinance May be fundable under FEMA mitigation grant programs The cost for relocation will vary based on the type of structure and the condition of the structure. It is considerably less expensive to relocate a home that is built on a basement or crawl space as opposed to a structure that is a slab on grade. Additionally, wood sided structures are less expensive to relocate than structures with brick veneer. Items to consider in estimating cost for relocation include the following: • Site selection and analysis and design of the new location • Analysis of existing size of structure • Analysis and preparation of the moving route • Preparation of the structure prior to the move • Moving the structure to the new location • Preparation of the new site • Construction of the new foundation • Connection of the structure to the new foundation • Restoration of the old site Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 301 , 532 Barriers: A flood protection barrier is usually an earthen levee/berm or a concrete retaining wall. While levees and retaining walls can be large spanning miles along a river, they can also be constructed on a much smaller scale to protect a single home or group of homes. Advantages Disadvantage s Relative cost of mitigation is less expensive Property is still located within the than other alternatives floodplain and has potential to be damaged by flood if barrier fails or waters overtop it No alterations to the actual structure or foundation are required Homeowners can typically construct their own barriers that will complement the style and functionality of their house and yard. Solution is only practical for flooding depths less than 3 feet Barriers cannot be used in areas with soils that have high infiltration rates The cost of constructing a barrier will depend on the type of barrier and the size required to provide adequate protection. An earthen berm will generally be less expensive compared to an equivalent concrete barrier primarily due to the cost of the materials. Another consideration is space; an earthen barrier requires a lot of additional width per height of structure compared to a concrete barrier to ensure proper stability. Key items to consider for barriers: • There needs to be adequate room on the lot • A pump is required to remove water that either falls or seeps onto the protected side of the barrier • Human intervention will be required to sandbag or otherwise close any openings in the barrier during the entire flood event Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 311 533 Floodproofing: Wet floodproofing a structure consists of modifying the uninhabited portions (such as a crawlspace or an unfinished basement) to allow floodwaters to enter and exit. This ensures equal hydrostatic pressure on the interior and exterior of the structure which reduces the likelihood of wall failures and structural damage. Wet floodproofing is practical in only a limited number of situations. Advantages Often less costly than other mitigation measures Allows internal and external hydrostatic pressures to equalize, lessening the loads on walls and floors Disadvantages Extensive cleanup may be necessary if the structure becomes wet inside and possibly contaminated by sewage, chemicals and other materials borne by floodwaters Pumping floodwaters out of a basement too soon after a flood may lead to structural damage Does not minimize the potential damage from a high -velocity flood flow and wave action A dry floodproofed structure is made watertight below the level that needs flood protection to prevent floodwaters from entering. Making the structure watertight involves sealing the walls with waterproof coatings, impermeable membranes, or a supplemental layer of masonry or concrete; installing watertight shields over windows and doors; and installing measures to prevent sewer backup. Advantages Disadvantages Often less costly than other retrofitting Requires human intervention and methods adequate warning to install protective measures Does not require additional land Does not minimize the potential damage from high -velocity flood flow and wave action. May be funded by a FEMA mitigation grant May not be aesthetically pleasing. program Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis Drainage Improvements: Methods of drainage improvements include overflow channels, channel straightening, restrictive crossing replacements, and runoff storage. Modifying the channel attempts to provide a greater carrying capacity for moving floodwaters away from areas where damage occurs. Whenever drainage improvements are considered as a flood mitigation measure, the effects upstream and downstream from the proposed improvements need to be considered. Advantages Disadvantages Could increase channel carrying capacity May help one area but create new through overflow channels, channel problems upstream or downstream straightening, crossing replacements, or runoff volume storage Minor projects may be fundable under Channel straightening increases the FEMA mitigation grant programs capacity to accumulate and carry sediment May require property owner cooperation and right-of-way acquisition Elevation: Elevating a structure to prevent floodwaters from reaching living areas is an effective and one of the most common mitigation methods. Elevation may also apply to roadways and walkways. The goal of the elevation process is to raise the lowest floor of a structure or roadway/walkway bed to or above the required level of protection. Elevating to or above the BFE allows a substantially damaged or substantially improved house to be brought into compliance Often reduces flood insurance premiums Reduces or eliminates road closures due to overtopping May be fundable under FEMA mitigation grant programs (Elevate Florida Program) Cost may be prohibitive The appearance of the structure and . access to it may be adversely affected. May require property owner cooperation and right-of-way acquisition May require road or walkway closures during construction Note: Elevating a structure with a slab -on -grade foundation can cost over 30 percent more than elevating a structure on a crawlspace foundation. Many of the properties located in the Indian River County Repetitive Loss Areas have slab -on -grade foundations, which may mean this mitigation alternative will be cost -prohibitive. Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 33 1 535 Flood Insurance: Insurance differs from other property protection activities in that it does not mitigate or prevent damage caused by a flood. However, flood insurance does help the owner repair and rebuild their property after a flood, and it can enable the owner to afford incorporating other property protection measures in that process. Insurance offers the advantage of protecting the property, as long as the policy is in force, without requiring human intervention for the measure to work. Advantages Disadvantages Provides protection outside of what is Cost may be prohibitive covered by a homeowners' insurance policy Can help to fund other property protection Policyholders may have trouble measures after a flood through increased understanding policy and filing claims cost of compliance (ICC) coverage Provides protection for both structure and Does not prevent or mitigate damage, contents. [Can be purchased anywhere in a community, including outside of a flood zone Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 341 Page 536 Step 5 Recommendations Based on the field survey and collection of data, the analysis of existing studies and reports, and the evaluation of various structural and non-structural mitigation measures, the Indian River County proposes the following projects to be implemented for the Repetitive Loss Areas. The table below examines current mitigation actions in this area. 1 Property owners have documented flooding and have identified flooding concerns in returned questionnaires from this analysis 2 Property owners are aware of flooding causes. Some property owners have undertaken specific floodproofing measures at their own expense. Others note that drainage improvements made by the County have improved some of their flooding problems 3 Indian River County has developed a Stormwater Master Plan (2025) which identifies areas of stormwater flooding and has undertaken capital improvement projects to improve drainage throughout the City (5 -Year Stormwater Management Plan) Prioritization: To facilitate the implementation of the following recommended mitigation actions, a prioritization schedule is included based on the following: Cost Funding Availability Staff Resources Willingness of property owners to participate Additional planning requirements An overall priority rating of high, medium, or low is assigned to each recommendation action, using the following scale: * High priority (should be completed within 2 years) * Medium priority (should be completed within 2 to 4 years) * Low priority (should be completed within 4 to 5 years) Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 35 1 537 Recommendations: Indian River County will encourage property owners to use floodproofing measures to help protect lower levels of their property. Indian Rivere County will also increase its public education efforts to improve awareness of flood preparedness and flood protection measures including moving valuable items above the flood elevation and permanently elevating vulnerable HVAC units. At the same time, Indian River County will work with property owners, citizens, the state and other regional and federal agencies to implement capital improvement projects which will help to eliminate flooding in the repetitive loss areas. Mitigation Action 1: Flood Insurance Promotion Property owners should obtain and keep a flood insurance policy on their structures (building and contents coverage). The County will continue, on an annual basis, to target all properties in the repetitive loss areas reminding them of the advantages of maintaining flood insurance through its annual outreach effort. The County will also host an annual open house presentation for the public to ask questions/advice on flood insurance with a licensed flood insurance agent. Responsibility: The County's Public Works Department will provide the most relevant up-to- date flood insurance information to all property owners within the repetitive loss areas through annual outreach and other efforts such as workshops, open house events. Funding: The cost will be paid from the County's operating budget Priority: High Mitigation Action 2: Property Protection Information Property owners should not store personal property in crawl spaces since personal property is not covered by a flood insurance policy without contents coverage. The County will increase its outreach efforts on an annual basis for the identified repetitive loss areas to include this specific information in the outreach materials. Responsibility: The County's Public Works Department will provide the most relevant up-to- date flood insurance information to all property owners within the repetitive loss areas through annual outreach and other efforts such as workshops, open house events. Funding: The cost will be paid from the County's operating budget Priority: High Indian River County Repetitive Loss Analysis 36 1 538 Mitigation Action 3: Floodproofing When appropriate, commercial property owners should consider floodproofing measures such as flood gates or shields, flood walls, hydraulic pumps, and elevating electrical services including electrical outlets. Responsibility: The County's Public Works Department will provide the most effective flood protection measures and provide advice and assistance to property owners who may wish to implement such measures in an on-going program. Funding: The cost will be paid for by individual property owners. Advice and assistance will require staff time. Priority: Medium Mitigation Action 4: Natural Drainage Maintenance Blockages in natural channels can cause upstream drainage issues and flooding. If natural floodplains and drainage features are blocked or filled they lose the ability to manage floodwaters, forcing those waters elsewhere where they may cause property damage. Responsibility: The County's Public Works Department will make these changes and continue inspecting and managing the drainage maintenance system. Property owners are reminded to keep their swales free of debris and any overgrowth. Funding: The cost will be paid by the County's general fund Priority: Medium Mitigation Action 5: CIP Drainage Improvements Prioritize CIP projects to focus on drainage improvement projects in the drainage basins which contain the identified repetitive loss areas Responsibility: The County's Public Works Department Funding: The cost will be paid by FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and/orthe County's CIP budget. Priority: Medium Mitigation Action 6: Elevate Mechanical Equipment Non -elevated HVAC units were found in all repetitive loss areas. The County will encourage property owners to elevate inside and outside mechanical equipment above the BFE. Responsibility: The County's Planning & Development Department will promote effective flood protection measures and provide advice and assistance to property owners who may wish to implement such measures in an on-going program. Funding: The cost will be paid for by individual property owners. Advice and assistance will require staff time. Promotion of existing floodproofing measures may require some additional funds from the County's operating budget.

With 20 years of energy consulting experience, I have worked closely with agribusiness owners, utilities and commercial/industrial stakeholders to deliver sustainable and economically viable projects. My background includes navigating regulatory landscapes, aligning priorities and implementing solutions that balance productivity and growth. This experience positions me to bring a results -driven, collaborative approach ensuring local initiatives benefit from our commitment to the community's future. We have been fortunate to travel the last several years and look forward to giving back to this community where our closest friends and families have called this home the last several years. De. Vos, CoverLetter and_Resume.pdf Upload a Resume 545 Steve C De Vos August 11, 2025 Dear Board / Commission, I am writing to you with interest in a role with the Agricultural Advisory Committee and/or Economic Development Council (EDC). I am a servant leader with a passion for making informed decisions with positive outcomes for our community. Below are some results of my work: In Des Moines Iowa: I led the creation of a plan for an investor-owned utility to identify and engage apartment units and agribusinesses with an energy conservation message. As a result, we served 50,000 apartments and 500 agribusinesses over a 5 -year period resulting in $5m in savings and a reduction of 50GW of energy usage. In parallel to this project plan, I led the launch of a Department of Energy funded City Energy Management program that identified over $1m in energy savings annually across 18 cities throughout the state. In San Antonio Texas: my team processed 10,000 energy efficiency rebates per year for one of the largest municipal owned utilities in the country resulting in $5m in incentives being paid back to rate payers. In Jacksonville Florida: I worked closely with JEA to launch 4 new energy programs including residential, solar, water conservation and low-income weatherization. This work resulted in hundreds of thousands of gallons of water being conserved. In Tucson Arizona: I worked closely with HR and Tucson Electric Power to launch a portfolio of energy conservation programs including efficient homes, weatherization, trade ally, commercial and industrial. In Vero Beach Florida: I have standardized operating procedures for a wholesale nursery/citrus operation. In addition, I have worked closely with USDA and FDACS to secure >$1m in funding for conservation, sustainability, marketing and disaster relief initiatives for our operations. These experiences will translate well to your group. I will be able to quickly connect with peers and work collaboratively to identify opportunities with specific actions where required. Keeping people informed, being inclusive and listening to the needs of our community will ensure we maintain a high level of engagement and trust resulting in an exceptional experience for the communities we serve. I look forward to discussing this further should you feel I am the right fit. Steve C.

Indian River County, Florida *•�OxioA>« MEMORANDUM N�_, Indian River County Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov File ID: 25-0909 Type: Attorneys Matters Meeting Date: 9/23/2025 TO: Indian River County Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator THROUGH: Jennifer W. Shuler, County Attorney FROM: Susan J. Prado, Deputy County Attorney DATE: September 5, 2025 SUBJECT: Lease Termination for 8865 911 Avenue, Vero Beach, FL BACKGROUND In October 2006 the property located at 8865 91" Avenue, Vero Beach, FL (hereinafter "Subject Property") was purchased at full market value ($204,000) for a right-of-way road widening project of 89' Street off CR 510. As part of the purchase and sale agreement the Subject Property was then leased back at no charge for a term of two (2) years or until the CR 510 road -widening construction starts, whichever comes sooner to the prior owner (hereinafter "Tenant') from whom the Subject Property was purchased. On June 6, 2009, an agreement for a lease extension was entered into for the Subject Property and the lease was extended at no charge to an uncertain date, 12 months prior to commencement of any phase of construction 89t' Street and CR510. The lease agreement also provided for termination of the lease agreement should the tenant breach the lease which included code/ordinance violations. On January 14, 2025, a code violation was issued to the Subject Property for boat/trailer storage violation and junk, trash, and debris violation. The Tenant was notified of the code violation, and a notice of Breach of Lease and termination of Lease Agreement was sent to the Tenant. The notice gave the time by which the tenant needed to vacate the premises. Tenant subsequently obtained counsel and, in an effort to settle this matter without expending county funds on court costs and fees, the County granted Tenant a brief extension to vacate the premises that allowed the tenant time to locate a new location to move to. The Tenant's Counsel requested an additional time and that proposed Agreement to Terminate Lease Agreement for the Subject Property is what is before the Board for consideration today. ANALYSIS The Tenant violated the lease agreement that was put in place in 2009. It is in the best interest in the County to terminate the lease agreement. Entering into the Agreement to Terminate the Lease Agreement would prevent the County from having to expend any more taxpayer funds on taking this item to litigation. Staff proposed a date of January 1, 2026 for the termination date and the tenant countered with June 1, 2026. The board should Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 pow e%9y Legistar' consider if they would like to counter the June 1, 2026 termination if it is not acceptable to the board. PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS Purchase of Property granting lease back at no cost to owner in 2006. Extension of lease back in 2009. POTENTIAL FUTURE BOARD ACTIONS If the Board chooses not to move forward with the lease termination, the Board may order litigation to be started at a future date. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board approve the Agreement to Terminate the Lease Agreement and authorize the Chairman to execute same.

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator THROUGH: Jennifer W. Shuler, County Attorney FROM: Christopher A. Hicks, Assistant County Attorney DATE: August 29, 2025 SUBJECT: Purchase of Property for Animal Control/ Emergency Services BACKGROUND For several years Indian River County Animal Control has worked with the Humane Society to bring stray and dangerous animals to a safe haven. In recent years, the Humane Society has struggled with space and availability issues for animals in need of care. This has created a situation in which the officers are not able to provide full services to the community nor adequately protect the life, safety, and health of the County. With an increasing number of citizens, the volume of calls for service continues to increase. Without the provision of larger spaces and better processes, the situation will continue to escalate and become dangerous in the future. To ensure that Animal Control can fully protect the community and provide adequate services, Emergency Services has been in discussions to provide more robust services, including opening a facility to assist in the housing and care of animals in need. County staff would operate this facility, ultimately freeing up the Humane Society's staff and resources. This would also provide the community with enhanced public safety, greater animal care capacity, and direct access for lost, found, and adoptable animals. ANALYSIS Due to continued growth in the County, increased demand upon Animal Control, and lack of available housing and care facilities in Indian River County, Emergency Services has been forced to consider alternative planning to protect the safety and well-being of the community. A site has been identified at 6580 69' Street, which is the home of an existing veterinary clinic. The property is 11+ acres and already hosts a fully equipped animal hospital, large animal barn, and various other structures. Upgrades and modifications prior to becoming fully operational will be necessary, but the existing improvements are roughly 70-80% of what is necessary to move forward with the current plan. Additionally, the land is large enough that the back portion could easily be utilized for other Emergency Services purposes in the future. An offer of $2,500,000 was accepted by the owner for the land ($2,100,000), structures, and all furniture, fixtures, and equipment ($400,000). BUDGETARY IMPACT Funding, in the amount of $2,500,000, is budgeted and available in the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget in the Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 9/18/2025 pow WO l egistarT Optional Sales Tax/Animal Services/New Animal Shelter account, number 31524962-066510-25043. FUTURE BOARD ACTIONS There will be further improvements necessary that will be brought before the Board for approval. PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS The Board has entered into previous Humane Society contracts as well as the 2025-2026 Emergency Services Budget. STAFF RECOMMENDATION County staff recommends that the Board approve the purchase agreement for the property located at 6580 691 Street, Vero Beach, direct staff to perform all due diligence tasks and proceed to closing as soon as possible, and authorize the Chairman to execute all closing documents.

Please use caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Gentlemen: Thank you for taking the time to speak with me this morning. Bulk Express is in agreement to renew our transportation service agreement with Indian River County for the recycling hauling from the staging area at the IRC landfill to the St. Lucie County MRF. As we discussed, the rates in effect since the inception of the contract have been static with no adjustment for CPI or changes in fuel costs. Based on the terms of the contract, we are permitted to ask for a CPI adjustment after the initial three year term, which expires on September 30. Below please find a summary of the CPI calculations. Referencing the exact CPI index and language in the agreement (CWUR0300SA0): Jan'22 index: 268.146 Jan'25 index: 303.310 Net change in index: 35.164 35.164 / 268.146 = 13.11 % increase 13.11 % * 0.75 = 9.84% Contract states that "each modification shall not exceed 3% increase or decrease from previous price", but the previous price was not adjusted for three (3) years, so 3% over three years = 9% cap in rate increase. Therefore, we are requesting a 9% increase to the existing rates as of October 1, 2025. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thankyou. 706 Bert Luer Business Development Attaway Hauling Bulk Express Transport Soil Tech Distributors 3355 NW 41st St Miami, FL 33142 M: 786-367-1680 bert.luer@bulkexpress.com www.bulkexpress.com Ethics Hotline: 844-769-88711 www.soxhotline.com LK Citi I FC fnt 'WW ft CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The content of this email message, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of the addressee and may contain proprietary, confidential and/or privileged information.

Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services FROM: Himanshu H. Mehta, PE, Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District DATE: September 11, 2025 SUBJECT: Approval of the Operation and Maintenance of Indian River County Landfill Agreement to Republic Services of Florida (Bid No. 2025028) BACKGROUND On November 16, 2010, the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Board authorized the Solid Waste Operations and Maintenance Agreement (Agreement) with Republic Services of Florida, Limited Partnership (Republic Services). The agreement covers the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the county's Class I Landfill as well as non -Class I Landfill services, which also includes the O&M of the landfill gas collection and control system (GCCS). The original Agreement term was for 7 years thru December 31, 2024; however, on February 21, 2017, the SWDD Board approved an extension of the Agreement through December 31, 2024. In order to align this Agreement to our fiscal year calendar, on November 21, 2023, the SWDD Board approved the Twenty Second Amendment and Extension to Republic Services for the contract to terminate on September 30, 2025. The Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget includes a price per ton of $16.26 per ton and an annual overall cost of approximately $4 million dollars per year for the Class I Landfill O&M services. Currently, the non - Class I Landfill services include some ancillary services within the footprint of the landfill as well as the O&M of the five Customer Convenience Centers (CCC's), Blue Cypress Drop -Off facility and other ancillary services with a similar annual overall cost of approximately $4 million dollars per year. On January 10, 2025, the Indian River County (IRC) Procurement Division issued two separate Invitation to Bids (ITB's), one for the O&M of the IRC Landfill (ITB No. 2025028) and the second for the O&M of the five Customer Convenience Centers (ITB No. 2025029). Potential vendors had an opportunity to bid on one, both, or none using our new procurement platform, Bonfire, available through the county website. The ITB's were prepared with the assistance of Kessler Consulting, Inc. (KCI) and their subcontractor S2L, Inc. The ITBs included a sample agreement and were reviewed by IRC Risk Department and IRC County Attorney's Office prior to release. The ITB was broken into two phases with Phase I being the Vendor Qualification Package that was due on January 31, 2025, and Phase II being a Vendor Bid Package that was due on March 14, 2025, for the CCC ITB and on March 19, 2025, for the Landfill ITB. Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 3 Printed on 9/18/2025 powwfy LegistarT On April 8, 2025, the SWDD Board awarded ITB No. 2025028 to Republic Services as the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder for the Operation and Maintenance of the Indian River County Landfill ( to be operated 7 -days per week with the vendor providing cover material for an annual grand total in the amount of $5,591,681.08. The SWDD Board also authorized the County Administrator and his designated staff to negotiate on behalf of the SWDD Board with Republic Services to optimize the sample agreement for the overall benefit of all county residents; and approved and authorized the Chairman to execute the sample agreement, as presented, pending receipt of the required bonds and insurance, and final approval of a negotiated Agreement by the County Attorney's Office as to form and legal sufficiency. The purpose of this agenda is to request approval of the Operation and Maintenance of Indian River County Landfill (Bid No. 2025028) to Republic Services. ANALYSIS Since the award, County/SWDD staff and Republic Services have negotiated in good faith to finalize both agreements. Due to local and future economic impacts, Republic Services requested that the Landfill agreement be adjusted to a fixed -based approach rather than the volumetric approach. County/SWDD staff was amenable to the approach provided the agreement included financial protection for our residents as well. The local economic impact is the recent expansion of a private construction and demolition (C&D) debris facility across from the landfill, which is projected to reduce the total amount of C&D tonnage coming into the landfill and hence reduce the anticipated revenue received by Republic Services. Based on County/SWDD staff review of past and current annual tonnages, these concerns are valid. For that reason, we have agreed to amend the final agreement not only to protect Republic Services from a potential financial hardship as our partner, but to also protect our residents. County/Staff has introduced an approach wherein up to a 10% reduction in tonnages would be covered by SWDD; however, a 10% increase in tonnages would be covered by Republic Services providing financial protection for our residents as there would be no increase in payment to Republic Services. Any variance in tonnages outside the 10% would require both parties to renegotiate in good faith to reach a mutually beneficial amendment to the agreement. As part of the negotiations, SWDD staff has also agreed to continue to provide dirt and mulch for cover, whereby keeping the award per ton rate of $18.70 per ton. The fixed cost approach for the landfill is based on the 220,000 tons included in the bid process with a fixed cost of $4,114,000 annually with a range of 198,000 tons on the low-end and 242,000 tons on the high-end; however, allows for a 3% annual adjustment in tonnages. Adding in the fixed cost for the ancillary services of $1,477,681.08 results in a total annual agreement of $5,591,681.08. This is the exact amount awarded by the SWDD Board on April 8, 2025 and which has been included in next year's budget. BUDGETARY IMPACT Funding for the SWDD Class I Landfill services for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026 is budgeted and available in the SWDD/Landfill/Contractual Services account, number 41121734-033489, in the estimated amount of $5,591,681.08, which is funded from SWDD assessments and user fees.

In the event that the provision of such services results in the Contractor incurring extraordinary costs (including, ,costs other than the cost of labor to operate the Landfill for extended hours) with respect thereto, the Contractor shall be compensated for its actual time, materials and labor costs, as well as the Contractor management fee, for any such services, subject to the County's prior written approval and the Contractor's provision of associated back-up.

Both parties agree that the average tonnage shall be adjusted upwards on a yearly basis, at a 3% annual increase. 9.2 Compensation Process 9.2.1 Each month SWDD shall pay to the Contractor an amount equal to the Operating Fee Rate, as specified in Exhibit 2. Rates, divided by 12. The Operating Fee Rate shall be the total and complete compensation for the Contractor's duties, obligations, and responsibilities under this Agreement. 9.2.2 Contractor shall submit an invoice to SWDD on or before the fifth (5th) Day of each month for operations conducted under this Agreement during the preceding month, including any additional services provided. 9.2.3 SWDD shall issue payment to Contractor in accordance with the Florida Prompt Payment Act upon verification by SWDD staff of the invoice submitted. @BCL@542133928 Page 22 of 42 734 9.3 Additional Services Upon written request by the SWDD Managing Director and/or Designee for additional services that are not within the scope of services pertaining to the O&M of the Landfill, the Contractor shall provide an itemized proposal for such work for approval.
