BACKGROUND:
Effects of stormwater runoff carrying pollutants from all land uses into our rivers, lakes and estuaries
have become a national problem The citrus community came forward in 1998 and began working on
what is now known as the. Water Quality/Quantity BMPs (Best Management Practices) for Indian River
citrus groves. The growers have adopted this manual and best management practices are being
implemented when economically feasible.
On February 6, 2007, a Cost Share Agreement Between the Florida Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services (FDACS) and IRC for Indian River County Citrus Best Management Practices was
signed, Contract # 012089. This is a one-year contract for $50,000 to cost share a percentage for
installation of specific Citrus Best Management Practices (BMP's) that were prioritized and approved
with cooperation with growers.
This is the fifth grant year for funding and represents a total of $875,000 received from the FDACS. The
$50,000 this year assists in improving water quality in the receiving waters such as the Indian River
Lagoon or the St. Johns River Basin by the use of a cost-share mechanism through the Indian River Soil
and Water Conservation District (IRSWCD) and USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)
Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) to allow citrus growers to implement BMP's. These
conservation practices are designed to achieve the greatest agronomic efficiency in food and fiber
production, while limiting the offsite effects of agricultural operations and simultaneously maintaining an
economically viable farming operation for the grower.
The procedure is as follows:
• The Indian River Soil and Water Conservation District (IRSWCD) advertises through a variety of
methods in an effort to reach Indian River County citrus growers and give them the opportunity to
apply for cost-sharingprograms.
• The grove owner initiates an interest in, and, attends a University of Florida/IFAS educational
function relating to Indian River Citrus Best Management Practices.
If there are practices the grower would like to install to achieve goals, as an incentive, the cost-
sharing programs are open to him to apply. He then submits an application to the IRSWCD.
