B. PROJECT INFORMATION
B-1. Purpose. Explain the purpose(s) of the project. (Do not refer to attachments.)
The ATS is the central nutrient removal unit of the Egret Marsh Stormwater Park, and is the Countys
first regional effort to reduce nutrient pollutant loads associated with canal flows from the IRFWCD
to the Indian River Lagoon. Located on a 35 acre site in a 9,000 acre sub -basin of the IRFWCD,
the stormwater park will treat 10 MGD of canal flow. •It is projected that the ATS will remove
14483 kg_/yr (3,2671b/yr) total phosphorus and 8,538 kg/3E (18,806 lb/)r) total nitrogen. Peripheral
pond and wetland units are expected to augment these removals by 10-25%. The system will provide
a significant step toward achieving pollution reduction targets established within the East Indian
River Counter Master Stormwater Management Plan,
B-2. Brief description of treatmentlattenuation technology. (Do not refer to attachments.)
The stormwater park is designed around the use of best management practices, the most significant of
which is the ATS. The ATS consists of a mildly sloped HDPE liner, overlain with a production geo-
grid, intended to promote algal growth and associated organisms (which is refered to as Algal Turf).
Nutrients are removed through direct plant uptake and to some extent, precipitation of phosphorus
onto the cell walls. Wave motion is introduced to enhance the exchange of metabolites between algal
cells and the water medium. Algal biomass is harvested to sustain a stabilized growth dynamic.
Attendant settling and polishing ponds will be placed at the influent and effluent of the ATS. The
ATS technology was investigated and is being4pplied by the South Florida Water Management
District in the Lower Okeechobee Watershed, and has been employed in commercial aquaculture.
EVALUATION FACTORS related to questions B-1 and B-2:
Will the project implement Proven technology, or is it a new or innovative procedure? 1-5 points.
Project scoring is based on rater's assessment of the project being proposed and its relation tv �
S'JRWMD's mission. Projects utilizing proven technology receive more points, speculative technology,
fewer points.
B-3. Cost-sharing request. (SJRWMD's share cannot exceed 50% of total project cost.)

B4. Projected schedule
Projected starting date: month January year 2006; completion date: month July year 2006.
(Funds received through this program maybe used only for projects constructed after a cost-sharing
contract has been executed and may not be used to reimburse the cost of existing structures or
structures already under construction. Cost-sharing contracts probably will be executed by November
12, 2005. Projects must be completed within 18-24 months of Governing Board approval.)
EVALUATION FACTOR related to question B-4:
Is the project planned and ready to begin? 0, 5, or 10 points. Project plan to initiate within 6 months =
10; project plan to initiate within 7-12 months = project plan to initiate later than 12 months = 0.
B-5. Is the project being undertaken to meet a total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocation, a
pollutant load reduction goal (PLRG), or other water quality target set by a local, state, or
federal agency? Yes® NoD
If yes, identify the agency and the water quality target.
The IRL Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (IRLNEP(a)) includes
restoration strategies contained within the IRLSWIM Plan and IRL's listing as an Estuary of
National Significance. An interim goal of 50% reduction of phosphorus and nitrogen and
60% suspended solids loads was adopted by Indian River County, SJRWMD, IRFWCD and
the City of Vero Beach until TMDL or PLRG values are adopted (ESD -3). IRL SWIM Plan
strategies that this facility will employ are IF -3-107-1) Stormwater management: nonpoint
source identification and control; IR -1-101-D Water Quality Monitoring network/point and
nonpoint sources and IR -1-104-1) Nutrient loadings: assessment of point and nonpoint
sources.
EVALUATION FACTOR related to question B-5:
Is the project being undertaken to meet a PLRG, a TMDL, or other water quality target by a local,
state, or federal agency? 0, 10, or 20 points. Implements an established PLRG or TMDL = 20; achieves
water quality targets consistent with SWIM Plan or other plan recommendations =10; does not meet
specific targets = 0.
SJRWMD Stormwater Management Projects Cost -Sharing Application Form 2005-2006
B-6. Provide a detailed project description. Identify the type and amount of pollutant load
reduction that will be achieved by the project (e.g., tons/year). What is the cost per unit of
pollutant removed? Include approximate dimensions and capacities, if applicable. (Show how
estimates are derived.)
The Stormwater Park is intended to provide significant reduction of critical pollutants from the
Lateral D canal, which contributes almost one-half of the total flow of the Main Canal network in
East Indian River County. The Main Canal discharges surface runoff from agricultural and urban
areas directly to the Indian River Lagoon (an Estuary of National Significance). The Aral Turf
Scrubber and its attendant settling, polishing, and wetland ponds are proposed to reduce pollutant
loads to the Main Canal by approximately 1.66 tons/yr total phosphorus (TP), 7.31 tons total
nitrogen (TN), and 60.9 tons total suspended solids (TSS). With respect to Main Canal loads, these
improvements represent a 12% reduction in TP, 9% reduction in TN, and 10% reduction in TSS.
Sizing results for the 10 MGD, Egret Marsh ATS include dimensions of 347 ft width and 575 ft
length to provide, as an annual average,TP removal of 80 m2/yr , and TN removal of 578 mYyr.
In addition, the ATS is expected 1) to provide 15% reduction in color, a parameter important to the
protection of submerged grass beds and 2) to increase dissolved oxygen, vital to the health of
biota within receiving waters. Sizing and performance assessment of the ATS was conducted
by the application of the ATS Design Model (ATSDEM) as developed and calibrated through
contracted work with the SFWMD. The model is based on Monod growth kinetics in a format similar
to that used for heterotrophic based waste treatment systems, such as activated sludge. A bench -scale
study conducted at the Egret Marsh Site indicates that this model is appropriate for performance
projections of an Egret Marsh ATS. TSS and particulate -P removal is expected to be provided by
the Primary Settling Pond, which will have a detention time of 1-2 days. The Effluent Polishing Pond
will permit modulation of pH levels of the ATS effluent (which is increased during photosynthesis)J.,
to about 7.4 upon discharge, similar to that of the targeted receiving water body (Lateral C Canal).
Cost per unit pollutant removed is based on a 50 year present worth basis, and are expected to be
within the ranges provided in analysis conducted for "ATS Present Worth Cost and By -Product
Market Analysis- Mn 2005, SFWN D Contract 13933". The ranges for a 10 MGD faciility are pro-
jected at $40470/1b -P, $7-$13/lb-N and $0.85-$1.60/lb-TSS removed. Final design is underway.
EVALUATION FACTORS related to question B-6:
Detail project methodologies. Identify the type and amount of pollutants that will be removed by the
project (e.g., tons/year). Will the project be cost-effective? 0-20 points. Scoring is based on rater's
assessment of the effectiveness of the project at achieving the stated pollutant load reductions.
