Originally produced in 1978, this report has been updated every two years since, and has gone through many changes. The items listed below identify the major format changes which distinguish this report from its predecessor. 9 Reeional Reiports - The large size of the statewide report (550 pages) necessitated its subdivision into 5 regional reports which correspond roughly with Department of Envirornuental Protection District Office boundaries (South and Southeast District Office reports are under one cover). 9 Watersheds versus Reaches - In 1992 the State's rivers, lakes and estuaries were subdivided into 1600 'reaches' and the assessment was based on this reach structure, however much of the State's waters were not contained within the reaches. For 1994, the assessed area has been enlarged to cover the entire State by dividing the State into 4400 watersheds. The original 1600 reaches remain pretty much intact within the new watersheds, and the terminology now includes watershed and waterbody rather than reach. 9 ARC/INFO Water Ouality Color Maps GIS techniques were used to produce color maps depicting water quality (designated use support) in each river basin. Watersheds were color coded based on good, threatened, fair or poor water quality designations. 0 New Nonvoint Source Oualitative Survey - A nonpoint source qualitative survey was performed in 1988 and has been updated and included in this report for 1994. The survey used the same watersheds which were used to assess the water quality data and the qualitative results were integrated into this report to both supplement the quantitative information and to provide information when no quantitative information was available. 9 Current versus Historic Data - Water quality data were examined for two time periods: current data from 1989-1993 and historic data from 1970-1988. Hstoric data were used to assess waterbodies only when there was no current data available. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to express our gratitude to all of the professionals that supplied us with water quality data and reports, responded to surveys, and answered telephone inquiries concerning the status of waterbodies in their area. The quality of this report has been greatly enhanced by their efforts. Many individuals in the District Offices reviewed the report on their sections of the State. These individuals include Rick Bradburn, Glenn Butts, Donald Ray, and Tone Touart-Rohlke in the Northwest District; Cathy Krestalude, Ernie Frey, Lee Banks, Angela Halfacre, and Jim Wright of the Northeast District ; Dave Herbster, Steve Kent, and Eric Pluchino of the Central District; Paul Wierzbicki, Herb Zebuth, and John Moulton of the Southeast District; Gordon Romeis of the South District, and Pat Fricano of the Southwest District . Sid Flannery of the Southwest Florida Water Management District also reviewed the report for his area. The Nonpoint Source Stormwater Section put in a tremendous amount of work on the 1994 Nonpoint Source Assessment Survey. This team included Kent Cain, Ellen McCarron, and Mike Scheinkman. Don Foose, recently retired from the USGS , spent four years delineating and digitizing the new watersheds. Bernadette Howe, formerly with the St. Johns River Water Management District, provided much of the foundation work on GIS techniques for handling watersheds and water quality data and mapping the information. Several of the DEP Tallahassee staff are to be thanked for their support and review of the final document including Don Axelrad, Vivian Garfein, Mark Latch and Richard Harvey, and Machelle Jarmon, who produced numerous draft copies of this text. iv List of Abbreviations AWT advanced wastewater treatment BAS DEP basin water quality study BMPs best management practices BOD biochemical oxygen demand cfs cubic feet per second DEP Department of Environmental Protection DO dissolved oxygen EAA Everglades Agricultural Area EPA Environmental Protection Agency FGFWFC Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission MGD millions of gallons per day NPDES National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System NPS nonpoint source NWFWMD Northwest Florida Water Management District OFW Outstanding Florida Waters REACH an EPA-designated waterbody or portion of a waterbody SFWMD South Florida Water Management District SJRWMD St. Johns River Water Management District SRWMD Suwannee River Water Management District STORET EPA's water quality data STOrage and RETrieval system SWFWMD Southwest Florida Water Management District swim Surface Water Improvement and Management TKN total Kjeldahl nitrogen (organic nitrogen and ammonia) TSI trophic state index WLA wasteload allocation WMD Water Management District WQI water quality index WWTP wastewater treatment plant V EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/OVERVIEW The 3 05(b) Technical Report provides useful surface water quality related information in a format that is helpful to managers, planners, permit staff, and laymen, as well as water quality experts. For each of the 52 basins, a narrative summary, a map, and data tables identify the quality and trends of Florida!s waterbodies, the causes of water quality problems, and the present regulatory activities conducted by DEP and EPA to improve the problem areas. It is the most widely circulated water quality assessment in the State, and also serves as the support document for the Surface Water. Section of the 1994 305(b) Water Qualfty Assessment Main Report submitted to EPA. The assessment required analysis of the available STORET water quality data for the 1970-1993 time period (STORET is EPA!s computerized water quality database). Data from approximately 4,000 stations are assessed in this report, necessitating the extensive use of computerized assessment techniques. Water quality assessment techniques used to identify problem areas included: water quality indices, screening level exceedances, statistical trend analysis, information from special studies, and interviewing local experts. The 305(b) assessment also includes information from the 1994 DEP Nonpoint Source Assessment Survey (which is based on the responses of 50 Florida agencies). Statewide Results From the Main Report In the 1992 305(b) assessment report, Florida was subdivided into 1600 reaches which were based on EPA's RF2 (river reach file #2). A reach was defined as a 5 mile long section of river, or 5 square mile section of lake or estuary. Only major waterbodies were assessed in the 1992 report due to the resolution limitations imposed by the RF2 file. For 1994, Florida has been subdivided into 4400 watersheds based on EPA's RF3 and USGS watershed delineations. Many more miles of Floridawaterbodies were assessed (50% more river miles, 30% more lake miles, and 20% more estuary miles) due to the increased number of watersheds available for assessment and due to efforts to collect more ambient data and store the data into STOREY Table I and Figure I show the mileages of Florida waters which were assessed in this year's report. A striking feature shown in Figure I is that 77% of river miles have unknown quality. This large percentage is due to the fact that EPA classified Florida's many ditches and canals as rivers, which were not assessed in this report. A quantitative summary of the State's water quality was accomplished by determining the degree of designated use support for the different waterbody types. The vast majority of assessed Florida waterbodies meet or partially meet their designated use (92% of the river miles, 8 1 % of the lake miles, and 96% of the estuary miles). Figure 2 shows that the river and estuary results are fairly similar, however the lake results show generally worse overall quality than the rivers and estuaries with fewer miles in the "meets use" category and more miles in the "does not meet use" category. Interestingly enough, this year's lake assessment brought in many more small lakes with good overall quality, however, Florida's largest lakes (Lake Okeechobee and Lake George) still overwhelm the State average with their large mileages of fair to poor quality. Vi It is very important to address both the sources of pollution and trends in water quality. In the past, the majority of identified water quality problems in the State were caused by point sources, including both domestic and industrial sources. Recently, however, nonpoint sources accounted for the majority of Florida's water quality problems. This is due to the fact that point source treatment processes have improved while there has been an increase in acreage of agricultural and urban developed land and their associated runoff. Water quality trend analysis was performed on waterbodies which had sufficient data for analysis (467 out of 4400 waterbodies). The majority (70%) of these waterbodies (as seen in Figure 3) exhibited no significant trends. Five times as many waterbodies (24%) have improving water quality trends as have degrading trends. The improved water quality trends were generally the result of wastewater treatment plant upgrades or the additions of new regional WWTPs and nonpoint source controls in Tampa, Orlando and several other cities (as seen in Figure 4). Five percent of the waterbodies assessed for trends showed degrading trends; however, there are no regional patterns for degrading trends similar to the improving trends. The causes of degrading trends included point sources and nonpoint sources. Statewide trend detection is limited for the following reasons: 1. Only one-tenth of the waterbodies are assessed for trends. 2. The primary focus of our monitoring network is not trend assessment; most of our stations are frequently moved, and there are very few sites with long-term, monthly data. 3. Our trend assessment technique is tailored to the problem identified in #2, thus, it only identified relatively drastic changes in water quality. Subtle water quality changes due to population growth or nonpoint source treatment improvements are not picked up by this analysis. Table 1. Mileages of Florida Waters Assessed Monitored 1.

Two important conclusions can be drawn from this figure: first, the majority of Florida's surface water has good quality; and second, the majority of problems are found in Central and South Florida. The sparsely populated northwest and west-central sections of the State have relatively better water quality than other areas. Water quality problem areas in the State are evident around the densely populated, major urban areas including: Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Pensacola, the Cape Kennedy area and the southeastern Florida coast. Other areas of poor water quality, not associated with population, are found in basins with intense agricultural usage. Pollution sources and problems in Florida are varied. The State does not have extensive industrialization, but rather localized concentrations of heavy industry centered mostly in urban areas. Many of the problems found in surface waters in urban areas can be attributed to industrial discharges. Silviculture, agriculture and various types of animal husbandry are a large part of Florida!s current and historical economy. Furthermore, Florida has undergone rapid population growth over the past two decades and this continues. This has resulted in more pollution sources associated with residential development. Florida's major surface water quality problems can be summarized into five general categories I . Urban Stormwater. Stormwater carries a wide variety of pollutants from nutrients to toxicants. Siltation and turbidity associated with construction activities can also be a major problem. Problem areas are concentrated around urban centers and mirror, quite well, the population map of the State. Current stormwater rules and growth management laws address this problem for new sources, but are difficult to monitor and enforce. 2. Apricultural Runoff. The major pollutants involved include nutrients, turbidity, BOD, bacteria and herbicides/pesticides. These pollutants generally do their worst damage in lakes and slow moving rivers and canals, and sometimes, the receiving estuary. Problems are concentrated in the central and southern portions of the State, and in several of the rivers entering the State from the north. Traditionally, agricultural operations have had far more lenient regulation than point sources; however, there is increasing recognition of the need for improved treatment of runoff water. 3. Domestic Wastewater. This is an area that has shown significant improvement in the last decade. Most of the waterbodies with improving water quality trends can be traced to wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) upgrades. Further advancements are being encouraged with design innovations such as wastewater discharge to wetlands, water reuse and advanced tre.atment. Still, a problem exists in the rural areas of the State where financial and technological resources are limited. Consequently, several of these poorly operating facilities are polluting some of Florida's relatively pristine natural waterbodies. Also, septic tank leachate contributes to @the degradation of many of Florida's waterbodies. 4. Industrial Wastewater. Most notable among these are the pulp and paper mills. Because of the volume and nature of their discharge, all of the pulp and paper mills operating in theStAte seriously degrade their receiving waters. The phosphate and fertilizer industries are Xi major pollution sources (both point and nonpoint) in several of Florida's surface water basins. In addition, the mining of phosphate causes surface water hydrological modifications and major land use disturbances. 5. H I ,ydrological Modifications. This can take the form of damming running waters, channelizing slow moving waters, or dredging, draining and filling wetlands. Such modifications are not strictly pollution sources. However, in most cases where the natural hydrological regime was modified (mostly for water quantity purposes) water quality problems have ensued. Rating the effect of hydrologic modification is difficult. Dredge and fill activities result in a loss of habitat. Disruption of wetlands with a resultant net loss of area reduces the buffering and filtering capacities and biological potential of wetlands. This is a particularly important problem in estuaries. The loss of seagrasses and other marine habitats can seriously affect the maintenance of a viable fishery. The assessment of public health and aquatic life impacts uncovered several areas of concern. Many of these problems are associated with estuaries and are of a persistent nature. Fish with Ulcerative Disease Syndrome are still present in the lower St. Johns River. This problem was first identified in the early to mid-80s. Second, major fish kills (as many as I million fish) occurred in the Pensacola Bay system over the past two years. The more massive of these kills occurred in Bayou Chico. Bacterial contamination in the water and contaminated sediments of the Miami River threaten Biscayne Bay. Many urban estuaries throughout the State have elevated levels of metals and organic contaminants in their sediments. Examples are Tampa Bay, St. Johns River Estuary and Pensacola Bay. The continued loss of fishery habitat from dredge and fill and construction activities is a threat to the maintenance of a viable fishery. The extensive die off of mangroves and seagrasses and algal blooms in Florida Bay are an important State concern. The probable cause is the extensive channelization and hydrological modification of the bay's watershed exacerbated in recent years by a lack of flushing from hurricanes, high water temperature and high salinity. On the positive side, seagrasses have increased in area in Tampa Bay and there has been an improvement in water quality in Hillsborough Bay. Three other problems exist which are also of a persistent nature, but largely impact fresh water systems. First, fish consumption advisories for largernouth bass continue to be issued because of elevated mercury concentrations in their tissue. Second, a no fish consumption advisory has been issued for the Fenholloway River. Elevated levels of dioxin were found in fish from this stream. This waterbody receives effluent from a pulp mill. The third problem is the coliform bacteria contamination of the Miami River. Sources of this contamination are illegal sewer connectiuns to the stormwater pipe system, leaking or broken sewer lines, and direct discharges of raw sewage when pump stations have exceeded their capacity. During acute contamination events (direct discharge of sewage) coliform bacteria counts in the Miami River and adjoining waters of Biscayne Bay are hundreds of times higher than State criteria. Efforts are being made by the City of Miami and Dade County to correct these problems. Xii Central Region Basin-by!@Basin Evaluation of Water Qualit The quality of Florida waters is graphically depicted on basin maps which follow each basin description. Areas of good, fair, and poor quality are readily discernible on these maps. The following is a summary of the status of the quality of waters in central Florida: The upper St. Johns River basin has water quality problems. The uppermost reaches have good quality although DO is naturally low. Lakes Harney, Jessup and Monroe and many of their tributaries have severe water quality problems, primarily as a result of historical loadings from Orlando area WWTPs and urban runoff. Water quality in these reaches is improving due to improved, centralized treatment of domestic wastewater; however, because of the historic loading and continued nonpoint source input, the recovery process is slow. The Wekiva River joins the St. Johns just below Lake Monroe. A tributary, the Little Wekiva River, historically received discharge from a WWTP and had problems with low DO. The construction of a regional WWTP has improved conditions in this stream. The major threats to these two waterbodies is runoff from ranchland and urban developments. Both rivers have been designated as Outstanding Florida Waters. Water quality in the St. Johns River improves downstream of the Wekiva River to Lake George. That lake, because of its shallowness and degree of upstream loading, exhibits some eutrophication and is rated as 'fair'. The Sellars and Blue Cypress Lakes and their tributaries have good water quality. Fish consumption advisories, because of high tissue concentrations of mercury, have been issued for the St. Johns River above Lake Monroe. This advisory includes many of the lakes in the upper St. Johns basin. With the exception of the nearly pristine Palatlakaha Chain of Lakes, the Oklawaha River basin has poor water quality in its headwaters, particularly in Lake Apopka. Lake Apopka is highly eutrophic. Point source nutrient loads to Lake Apopka have been reduced, but the lake remains eutrophic due to nutrient release during sediment resuspension and continued runoff from intensive farming in the lake's drainage areas. Alligator reproductive rates have been reduced, presumably due to historic use of pesticides. Lake Apopka is a SWIM project and efforts are underway to improve its quality. Downstream lakes are also eutrophic, but less so than Apopka. Water quality improves considerably in the lower Oklawaha River, especially downstream of spring-fed Silver River. Hogtown Creek in Gainesville also has water quality problems from urban runoff and past drainage of wastewater ponds from the site of Cabot/Koppers wood treating operation. The ponds contained creosote, chromated copper arsenate, and pentachlorophenol. The site is now a Superfund site and undergoing clean-up; much of the original contamination has been removed from Hogtown Creek. xiii The Kissimmee River has its headwaters near Orlando,, and its upper reaches (Shingle Creek and Reedy Creek) have water quality problems from WWTP and urban runoff pollution sources. . The domestic sources have been considerably reduced, and water quality is improving. Lake Tohopekaliga is also showing improvements due to a reduction in WWTP discharge and a lake drawdown project. The lower Kissimmee River was channelized by the Army Corps of Engineers and consequently flushes much more rapidly and directly to Lake Okeechobee where it adds to the lake's eutrophication problems. Restoration efforts have begun to return portions of the river channel to its original meander pattern. Lakes Toho, Kissimmee, and Istokpoga have largemouth bass with elevated levels of mercury in their tissues. Advisories recommending limited fish consumption have been issued. The east coast estuarine waters from Jacksonville to Ft. Pierce have localized impacts from wastewater discharges, stormwater runoff, causeways which reduce hydraulic flushing, and shoreline vegetation disruption. Areas of greatest impact are the intracoastal waterway near Palm Valley (below Jacksonville Beach), the Matanzas River at St. Augustine, the Halifax River between Ormond Beach and Port Orange, the Indian River and Banana River from Titusville to Melbourne and the Indian River at Vero Beach and Ft. Pierce. Several of the WWTPs in the middle basin have discontinued their surface water discharge. The Indian River Lagoon system has been included in the National Estuary Program. Xiv INTRODUCTION AND METHODS This section describes the water quality assessment procedures used by the Bureau of Surface Water Management to prepare the 1994 Florida Water Quality Inventory [305(b)]. The procedures are: I . Divide State into Assessment Watersheds. 2. Inventory STORET data. 3. Calculate Stream Water Quality Index (WQI). 4. Calculate Lake/F-stuary Trophic State Index (TSI). 5. Apply Screening Levels. 6. Conduct Trend Analysis. 7. Conduct Toxic Pollutant Assessment. 8. Conduct Nonpoint Source Assessment. Florida's 52 major river basins were subdivided into 4400 watersheds of approximately five square miles each. The predominate waterbody within each watershed was identified and classified as a lake, stream, or estuary. Each watershed and its waterbody formed an assessment unit and all water quality stations within the watershed were aggregated as if they were from the same site (the stations were screened for unwanted sites, such as, point source discharge sites). A water quality inventory was performed on EPA!s STORET database. The inventory included the years 1970 through 1993 and was classified as recent (1989-1993) or historic (1970-1988). Tables of water quality data were prepared for each of Florida's 52 basins. Three procedures were then used to assess the water quality data. A Water Quality Index was calculated to determine the overall quality of Florida streams and rivers. The Water Quality Index summarizes information from six categories including water clarity (turbidity and total suspended solids), dissolved oxygen, oxygen demanding substances (biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, and total organic carbon), nutrients (total nitrogen and total phosphorus), bacteria (total coliform. and fecal coliform), and macroinvertebrate diversity index (based on natural substrate samples, artificial substrate samples and Beck's Biotic Index). The water quality of lakes and estuaries is described by the Trophic State Index which is a measure of the potential for algal or aquatic weed growth. The components which make up the Trophic State Index include total nitrogen, total phosphorus, chlorophyll and Secchi depth. Screening levels for 19 water quality parameters were also used to determine the quality of Florida lakes, estuaries and streams. The water quality indices and screening levels have all been tailored to Florida's water quality by using the actual distribution of Florida data to determine the water quality criteria used by the procedures. Specific information on each of the procedures is described in the following sections. Watershed as the Assessment Unit In the 1992 305(b) assessment report, Florida was subdivided into 1600 reaches which were based on EPA's RF2 (river reach file #2). A reach was defined as a 5 mile long section of river, or 5 square mile section of lake or estuary. Only major waterbodies were assessed in the 1992 report due to the resolution limitations imposed by the RF2 file. For 1994, Florida has been subdivided into 4400 watersheds based on EPA's RF3 and USGS watershed delineations. The original 1600 reach delineations have been kept intact, however, many additional watersheds have been added due to the increased resolution of RF3 and the USGS watersheds which cover the entire State. USGS was contracted to develop useable, small watersheds (approximately 5 square miles) using watershed boundaries identified on USGS topological maps and ARC/INFO GIS techniques. USGS completed 75% of the State, but unfortunately they did not delineate watersheds in south Florida (USGS subregion 0309). Watersheds for South Florida were adapted from a much coarser delineation developed by the South Florida Water Management District. The resulting watersheds in this area are about 50 square miles each, ten times larger than those for the rest of the State. The major waterbody within each watershed was identified and named. Usually each watershed encompassed one major or one minor named waterbody (similar to the 1992 reach structure). The length of each stream waterbody and the area of lake and estuary waterbodies is essential information. The length of stream waterbodies was determined by GIS measurements of the RF3 trace ( or assigned a length of 5 miles if no R173 trace was available). The area of lake and estuary waterbodies was determined with crude GIS aerial measurement techniques (if estuary waterbodies had no RF3 traces, their area was set to 5 square miles and unknown lake waterbodies were assigned an area of I square mile). The water quality within each waterbody is assumed to be homogenous (if data prove this assumption to be wrong, then the waterbody was subdivided). GIS techniques were used to assign STORET sites to their respective watersheds and the location of each site was visually inspected on a GIS map. If more than one named waterbody showed up in a watershed (based on the STORET data within a watershed), then the watershed was subdivided. Inventory of STORET Data An inventory of data was retrieved from STORET for the 1970-1993 time period. If data within a watershed were available for the current time period (defined as 1989-1993), then historical data was not examined, except for trend analysis. If no current data were found, then historic data (defined as 1970-1988) were used for the assessment. Fifty STORET parameter codes representing 21 different water quality parameters were inventoried (Table 3). There are about 8000 Florida stations in STORET which were sampled in 1970-1993. These stations are located in 1500 of the 4400 watersheds. Annual average (median) water quality was calculated for each of these stations and the data were stored on a local IBM Personal computer. In order for an annual average to be calculated for a station, the station had to be sampled at least twice within each year. STORET remark 21 Table 3. Storet Water Quality Assessment Parameters.

In these cases the reported value was multiplied by 0.5 to adjust for the "less than" condition. Data with STORET remark codes indicating that the reported value was "greater than" the actual value were dropped from further analysis. A Water Quality Index value was calculated for each stream/river annual median and a Trophic State Index value was calculated for each lake/estuary annual median. Florida Stream Water Quality Index Procedure To assess Florida stream water quality, a Florida stream Water Quality Index (WQI) was developed and first used in the 1988 305(b) report. The WQI is based on the quality of water as measured by six water quality categories (water clarity, dissolved oxygen, oxygen demanding substances, bacteria, nutrients and biological diversity). Each category may have more than one parameter as shown in Table 4. Raw (annual average) data are converted into index values which range from 0 to 99 for the six categories. Index values correspond to the percentile distribution of stream water quality data in Florida (Table 4). (The percentile distribution of STORET water quality data were determined in 1987 for 2,000 ambient, stream STORET locations in Florida.] For example, Table 4 shows the BOD concentrations ranged from 0.8 mg/l (10 percentile) to 5.1 mg/ (90 percentile) with a median value of 1.5 mg/1 (50 percentile). A BOD concentration of 0 to less than 0.8 mg/l is assigned an index value of 0 to 9, etc. The overall WQI is the arithmetic average of the six water quality index categories. The index for each category is determined by averaging its component parameter index values. Missing water quality parameters and missing water quality categories are ignored in the final calculation. Therefore, the final WQI is based on an average of anywhere from I to 6 water quality index categories. Table 5 shows an example calculation of the WQI. The WQI can be calculated from just one index category; however, it becomes more reliable as more categories are used in its calculation. In order to determine the range of values of the WQI which correspond to good, fair and poor quality, the WQI was correlated with the EPA National Profiles Water Quality Index for Florida data. (The EPA WQI was used in the 1986 305(b)). Based on this correlation, the cutoff values for the WQI were determined as follows: 0 to less than 45 represents good quality, 45 to less than 60 represents fair quality, and 60 to 99 represents poor quality. The Florida stream Water Quality Index has several advantages over indices used previously. First, the index is tailored to Florida water quality data, since it is based on the percentile distribution of Florida stream data. Second, it uses the water quality categories which are felt to be the most important measures of water quality in Florida: water clarity, dissolved oxygen, oxygen demanding substances, nutrients, bacteria and biological diversity. Third, it is simple to understand and calculate and does not require a mainframe computer or any complex data transformations or averaging schemes. Finally, the index Table 5.

A toxic pollutants category would be a valuable addition to the index; however, toxic pollutants were not included in the index since there is relatively little data in Florida (compared to the amount of data for conventional pollutants ). Toxic pollutants were assessed separately as discussed later in this section of the report. Trophic State Index Procedure The Trophic State Index procedure provides an effective method of classifying lakes based on the lake's chlorophyll, Secchi depth, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations. The index was developed in 1982 in response to the EPA Clean Lakes Program and is documented in the Classification of Florida Lakes Report by the University of Florida, Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences. This index remains unchanged from the 1988 305(b) report. The index is based on a trophic classification scheme developed in 1977 by R.E. Carlson. It relies on three trophic indicators to describe the trophic status of a lake. The goal was to have each indicator relate to algal biomass such that a 10 unit change in the index would represent a doubling or halving of algal biomass. Carlson developed indices based on Secchi disc transparency, chlorophyll concentration and total phosphorus concentration. The Florida Trophic State Index (TSI) is based on the same rationale, but also includes total nitrogen concentration as a fourth index. Criteria were developed for Florida lakes from a regression analysis of data on 313 Florida lakes. The desirable upper limit for the index is set at 20 ug/l chlorophyll which corresponds to an index of 60. Doubling the chlorophyll concentration to 40 ug/l results in an index increase to 70 which is the cutoff for undesirable (or poor) lake quality. Index values from 60 to 69 represent 'fair' water quality. The criteria for chlorophyll, Secchi depth, total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentrations are shown in Table 6. A nutrient index is also calculated based on phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations and the limiting nutrient concept. The limiting nutrient concept identifies a lake as phosphorus limited if the nitrogen to phosphorus concentration ratio is greater than 30, as nitrogen limited if the ratio is less than 10, and balanced (depending on both nitrogen and phosphorus) if the ratio is 10-30. Thus, the nutrient TSI is based solely on phosphorus if the ratio is greater than 30, solely on nitrogen if less than 10, or based on both nitrogen and phosphorus if the ratio is between 10 and 30. An overall index (TSI) is calculated based on the average of the chlorophyll TSL the Secchi depth TSI and the nutrient TSI. For this index to be calculated, both nitrogen and phosphorus measurements are required for the sample. The lake trophic state index was also applied to Florida estuaries to describe estuarine water quality. The criteria for the estuary quality ratings is 10 less than the lake ratings (i.e., good estuarine water quality is a TSI value of 0-49, fair quality is 50- 59, and poor quality is a value of 60-100). Table 7 shows an example TSI calculation. Table 6. Trophic State Index (TSI) for Lakes and Estuaries.

(42.6 + 42.3 + 49.2)/3 = 45 Note: If either phosphorus or nitrogen sampling information are missing, then the index is not calculated. Chlorophyll and/or Secchi Depth may be missing and the index will be calculated. 10 Screening Levels Screening levels were used to determine water quality problems caused by each of nineteen water quality parameters (Table 8). Screening levels were based on either Florida criteria or on criteria established by professional judgment when quantitative Florida criteria are absent. Different screening levels were developed for streams, lakes and estuaries to take into account the natural differences among these waterbodies. The criteria which were established by professional judgment were based on the percentile distribution of Florida data. The eightieth percentile was chosen as the cutoff between acceptable a nd unacceptable water quality. This means that 80% of Florida!s water quality data will have acceptable levels. Table 8 identifies the screening levels used, the typical values measured and the Florida criteria for streams, lakes and estuaries. Screening level exceedances are noted in the data tables for each watershed in each basin. Trend Analysis Water quality trend analysis was performed on 12 water quality parameters (plus the overall stream water quality index and the trophic state index) for 460 watersheds. The time frame for the analysis is from 1984-1993. The analysis was quite simple; a non- parametric correlation analysis (Spearman's Ranked Correlation) was used to analyze the ten-year trend of the annual STORET station medians for each watershed. There may have been only one station analyzed within a watershed resulting in a maximum of ten years of data, or there may have been many stations sampled within the watershed resulting in the analysis of many more yearly station medians and a more meaningful trend analysis. A separate trend assessment technique was used to analyze stream, lake, and estuary waterbodies. Stream trend analysis utilized the trend information from eight water quality parameters (bacteria, turbidity, total suspended solids, BOD, dissolved oxygen, Secchi depth, nitrogen and phosphorus) plus the overall water quality index. Lake and estuary trend analysis focused on four trophic state parameters (chlorophyll, Secchi depth, nitrogen and phosphorus) plus the trophic state index. The overall trend of each waterbody was determined by comparing the number of improved water quality parameters to the number of degraded water quality parameters. Some waterbodies showed quite strong trends. If a waterbody showed no trends, or just one parameter showed a trend (or the number of improved trends minus the number of degraded trends is zero or one), then the trend is classified as "no change". This trend analysis must be considered preliminary due to the simplicity of the technique. Table 8.

The Florida surface water quality standards (Chapter 17-302, Florida Administrative Code) were used to assess whether the toxic pollutant was found at an elevated level. Several standards are based on hardness levels, however, since hardness levels were not available in all cases, a hardness value of 100 mg/I as calcium carbonate was assumed. An elevated level was defined as any exceedance of the standard for any of the nine metals. Generally, each waterbody was sampled two or three times for several of the metals during the last three years. Nonp'oint Source Assessment An extensive assessment of nonpoint source impacts on Florida's waters was conducted in 1988 through the use of a questionnaire sent to all major State agencies (Water Management Districts, Division of Forestry, Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission), city and county offices, U.S. Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Forestry Service, Regional Planning Councils, local Soil and Water Conservation Districts, citizen environmental groups (Sierra Clubs, Audubon Society and others) and professional outdoor guides. The respondents (approximately 150 agencies and 350-400 participants) to the questionnaire identified nonpoint sources of pollution, environmental pollution symptoms (fish kills, algal blooms, etc.) pollutants and miscellaneous comments. The assessment has been updated in 1994. The 1994 nonpoint source assessment was performed more efficiently than the 1988 version due largely to the use of GIS technology for compiling and displaying the data, and also advancements in the questionnaire methodology. Scannable forms were used eliminating the need to key punch data and integration with the 305b report was much improved. Florida's 1994 nonpoint source assessment was performed using a qualitative, best professional judgment approach. Unlike point source pollution analysis and its readily available STORET ambient data, there is rarely any convenient database of water quality monitoring data that has been designed for analyzing impacts of nonpoint source pollution on surface waters. Therefore, the assessment procedure was designed to make use of the knowledge of experienced field personnel who had information about individual waterbodies. The 1994 survey was sent to essentially the same group of professionals as the 1988 report and approximately fifty respondents identified nonpoint sources of pollution, environmental symptoms of pollution (fish kills, algal blooms, etc.), degree of impairment (rating) of a waterbody and miscellaneous comments. A total of 1720 watersheds or about 40 % of the total watersheds were qualitatively assessed by the respondents. Data tables summarizing the 1994 NPS survey are presented for each basin in this report. The remainder of this section describes the information presented in these tables. 13 Table 9.

The status of a watershed was dependent on making a determination of designated use support that applied to all surface waters within the aerial extent of that watershed. Designated use refers to the classification or standards and criteria applied to all Florida waters. Impairment rating categories used were as follows: I . Good (meets designated use). All surface waters in the watershed are supporting their use classification with no evidence of nonpoint source problems. 2. Threatened (meets designated use). All surface waters in the watershed are attaining their use classification, but in the absence of any future management activities, it is suspected that within five years at least some of the surface waters in the watershed will not support their designated use. 3. Fair (partially meets designated use). Some, but not all, surface waters in the watershed are not supporting their designated use. 4. Poor (does not meet use). All surface waters in the watershed are not supporting their designated use. Nonpoint source pollution is generally associated with land use activities which do not have a well-defined point of discharge, such as discharge from a pipe or smoke stack. Nonpoint contaminants are carried to waterbodies by direct runoff or percolation through the soil to groundwater. There are many different potential source areas. Some of the common activities and sources which were considered in the nonpoint source assessment include:I Construc.tion site runoff. This type of source can provide sediment, chemicals and debris to surface waters. 2. Urban stormwater. Runoff from buildings, streets and parking lots carries with it oil, grease, metals, fertilizers and other pollutants. 3. Land disposal. Leachate from septic tanks and landfills may pollute groundwater or local surface waters. Contamination of surface waters can be by either by direct runoff or discharge from groundwater. 4. Agricultural runoff. Runoff from fields and pastures carries with it sediments, pesticides and animal wastes ( which can be a source of bacteria and viruses and nutrients). 5. Silvaculture operations. Logging activities which erode forest soils add turbidity and suspended solids to local surface waters. 6. Mining. This type of activity can cause siltation in nearby waterbodies, release of radioactive materials to groundwater, discharge of acid mine drainage and depletion of water supplies in aquifers. 15 7. Hydrologic modification. Dams, canals, channelization and other alternations to the flow of a waterbody result in habitat destruction and in general water quality deterioration. Abbreviations were used for the nonpoint source categories in the NPSAtfa tables which are found in each basin write-up on the following pages. Those abbreviations correspond to the sources as described below: AG Agricultural runoff RE Resource extraction or mining SL Silvaculture or for operations LD Land disposal UR Urban runoff CN Construction site runoff JIM Hydrologic Modification OT Other nonpoint source IND Industrial site runoff STP Sewage treatment plant Data for the last two point source categories were not obtained from the 1994 NPS assessment survey, but rather they come from the 1992 305(b) Report. Respondents were provided with 15 choices of pollutants and 9 choices of symptoms for use in characterizing the status of a watershed. Pollutant choices or categories and their descriptions are provided below: 1. Nutrients. An imbalance of nitrogen and or phosphorus which resulted in algal blooms or nuisance aquatic plant growth. Standards for Class III waterbodies are based on this criteria. 2. Bacteria. This refers to the presence of high levels of coliform, strep and enteric fecal organisms which cause the closure of waters to swimming and shellfishing. 3. Sediments. Soil erosion which results in high levels of turbidity. 4. Oil and Grease. Hydrocarbon pollution resulting from highway runoff, marina, and industrial areas. Their presence is evidenced as a sheen on the water surface. 5. Pesticides. These class of chemicals can be found in runoff from agricultural lands and son@e urban areas. 6. Other Chemicals. General category for other chemicals besides pesticides and oil and grease, typically associated with landfills, industrial land uses and hazardous waste sites. 7. Debris. This category includes trash ranging from Styrofbam plates and cups to yard clippings and dead animals. 8. Oxygen Depletion. Low levels of dissolved oxygen in the water column resulting in odor problems (anoxic waters) and fish kills. 9. Salinity. Changes in salinity caused by too much or too little freshwater inflows. Typical results are declines in the fishery and changes in species composition. 10. pH. Change in the acidity of surface waters with resultant declines in fisheries and other changes to flora and fauna, such as reductions in diversity or abundance. 11. Metals. Anthropogenically enriched levels of trace metals commonly associated with urbanized watersheds and marinas. 12. Habitat Alteration. Landuse activities which adversely affect the resident flora and fauna. Included with habitat alteration is habitat loss. 13. Flow Alteration. Landuse activities which influence the flow characteristics of a watershed resulting in adverse affects upon flora and fauna. 14. Thermal Pollution. Activity which changes local temperature of receiving water relative to ambient temperature. 15. Other Pollutants. General category used to describe activities and impacts not described in the other 14 categories. Responses of waterbodies to the above listed sources of pollutants were defined as symptoms. The nine symptoms used for categorization are defined as follows: 1. Fish Kills. Dead and dying fish caused by designated source of pollution. 2. Algal Blooms. Excessive growth of algae resulting from nutrient enrichment. 3. Aquatic Plants. Density of exotic and nuisance plants such that impairment of the waterbody occurs. Nutrient enrichment is usually the cause. 4. Turbidity. High suspended sediment loads in water column resulting from soil erosion. Effects on the waterbody include smothering of benthos and reduced light penetration with resultant loss of plant and algal productivity. 5. Odor. Unpleasant smells resulting from low dissolved oxygen conditions (anoxia) and or fish kills. 6. Declining Fisheries. Reduction in landings of or increases in catch per unit effort to catch game and commercial species indicating loss of productive fishery. 7. No Swimming. Closure of recreational swimming areas due to public health risks, usually caused by high coliform bacteria counts. 8. No Fishing. Closure of recreational or commercial fishing areas because of threats to human health from elevated bacteria counts or levels of contaminants. 9. Other Symptoms. General category used for information that cannot be placed in any other category. Making Use Support Determinations EPA has revised its criteria for determining the status of waters as documented in Appendix B of the Guidelines for the Preparation of the 1994 State Water Quality Assessments (305(b) Report). Often, a variety of assessment techniques were available for each watershed (e.g., chemical data, biological data and NPS survey results) and in this case a use decision was made based on integrating all the information. If quantitative data were available on the water quality of a waterbody (through the Trophic State Index or Water Quality Index) then the designated use of the waterbody was determined from the quantitative information, and if no quantitative'data were available, then the qualitative NPS survey results were used to estimate designated use of the waterbody. Current data was available for assessment of about 1100 watersheds, historic data was used in 400 watersheds, and qualitative data was used in 1000 watersheds. The NPS survey provided all the information on sources of pollution (e.g. urban or construction runoff) and part of the information on causes and symptoms of pollution. Integrating the information from the quantitative (STORET) analysis and the qualitative NPS survey was not easy, but many additional watersheds were assessed based on the results of the integration. In the future, the two techniques should blend together much better through increased coordination of efforts. SEBASTIAN RIVER SOUTH INDIAN RIVER 7 4 xtE*' VERO BEACH 5-1 C.- B :64. @A FT.

South Prong, Sebastian River (or Creek) has improved in water quality since removal of certain agricultural inputs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ecological Characterization The South Indian River basin extends from Sebastian Inlet about 50 miles south to Stuart and covers 670 square miles. The Indian River is actually a long, shallow, 1-2 mile wide estuarine lagoon bounded to the east by a narrow coastal ridge. The salinity is only slightly less than oceanic. Fresh water supply to the system comes from the coastal drainage and canal systems, Sebastian Creek, and several large canal systems from the west. Some of these canals divert waters from the upper St. Johns drainage. The native shoreline vegetation is mangrove forest, and the lagoon!s floor is either mudflats, seagrass beds, or shell hash. Although much of the mangrove forest has been lost to development or mosquito control, this area retains more of the natural conditions than the middle east coast basin. There are three inlets to the system (Sebastian, Ft. Pierce and St. Lucie) as well as six bridges. Land use in the coastal part of the basin is low to high density residential. Urban areas are Sebastian, Vero Beach and Ft. Pierce. The eastern portion of the basin is one of the predominant centers of Florida's citrus orchards. The water itself is used extensively for fishing, shellfishing and recreation. Manatees are common residents in the area. Anthropogenic Impacts Much of the Indian River is classified as shellfish harvesting waters, as Outstanding Florida Waters, as a National Estuary, and as an Aquatic Preserve. It is also part of the Indian River Lagoon SWIM priority water body. This area receives good flushing because of the number of inlets with good hydraulic properties. Although water quality has been generally good especially south of Ft. Pierce Inlet, there is growing concern over the degrading condition of the estuary. In the southern portion of the basin, the main source of pollution is urban runoff from water front developments. Also, at Ft. Pierce, the estuary receives nutrients and excess fresh water via Belcher Canal, as drainage from orange groves, rangeland and urban areas. Ft. Pierce operates a W`VVTP which discharges to the western edge of Ft. Pierce inlet. Pollution problems, mainly in the form of increased nutrients, are encountered in the Vero Beach area of Indian River. Effluents from three WWTPs, urban runoff, drainage from 19 septic tanks along with restricted flushing (inlets are 15 miles north and south of the city), and drainage from the relief canals which drain significant amounts of runoff from orange groves, streets and residences west of the lagoon account for these higher levels. The poorest water quality in the basin is found in Sebastian Creek. The South Prong of Sebastian Creek has a history of elevated bacteria and BOD loads from dairy farms and rangeland runoff, but has recently shown improvement in water quality due to removal of one of the dairies. The North Prong, which runs through a more urbanized area in addition to the diary farms, has high bacteria and low DO concentrations. However, conditions may improve in the North Prong, because the dairies have now been removed from the basin. 20 USGS HYDROLOGIC UNIT: 03080203 INDIAN RIVER, SOUTH INDEX GOOD FAIR POOR SURFACE WATER QUALITY DATA FOR 1970-1993 ----------- ----- ----- ----- MEDIAN VALUES FOR EACH WATERSHED WQI-RIVER 0-44 45-59-60-90 CURRENT PERIOD OF RECORD (1989-1993) USED WHERE AVAILABLE TSI-ESTUARY 0-49 50-59 60-100 ----- PERIOD PRIOR TO 1989 IS EVALUATED AS HISTORICAL INFORMATION TSI-LAKE 0-59 60-69 70-100 1 1 BIOLOGICAL WATER WATERSHED WATERSHED DATA RECORD WATER DISSOLVED OXYGEN PH TROPHIC SPECIES QUALITY ID NAME ---------------------- CLARITY OXYGEN DEMAND ALKALINITY STATUS COLIFORM DIVERSITY COND FLOW INDICES ----- --------------------------------- MAX .

President Bush signed legislation that allocates $5 million in 1992 for river restoration work. Health advisories recommending limited consumption of largemouth bass due to mercury content have been issued for Lake Kissimmee, Lake Tohopekaliga, East Lake Tohopekaliga and Lake Istokpoga. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ecological Characterization The Kissimmee River has its origin in the southern outskirts of the highly urbanized Orlando area. Shingle, Boggy, and Reedy Creeks are the principal streams making up the headwaters. Shingle Creek flows sluggishly through urban and swampy land and eventually empties into Lake Tohopekaliga. Reedy Creek flows from the Disney World complex through swamps into a slough between Cypress Lake and Lake Hatchineha. From here, the river flows southward into Lake Kissimmee. This upper basin is flat and has hundreds of small lakes, as well as the large ones mentioned. After leaving Lake Kissimmee, the river used to meander 99 river miles through an extensive floodplain to Lake Okeechobee, Between 1965-1971 the Army Corps of Engineers converted the river into a 56 mile long canal, C-38. The advantage of the canal was flood control (with its six gates); navigation (it is 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide); and to reclaim land for farming and grazing. Unfortunately, a significant price was paid in aesthetics, biological diversity, and downstream water quality. This stretch of the river corridor is sparsely populated, and the land is used mostly for grazing. The Arbuckle Creek drainage area which forms the western portion of the Kissimmee River basin begins near Reedy Lake in Polk County. This lake drains via Reedy Creek and Livingston Creek to Lake Arbuckle and from Lake Arbuckle to Lake Istokpoga. The Istokpoga Canal connects Lake Istokpoga to the Kissimmee River 35 miles above Lake Okeechobee. There are other flood control/drainage canal networks that run between Lakes Istokpoga and Okeechobee. Land use in this drainage includes orchards, rangeland and wetlands. The City of Avon Park is near the headwaters of Carter Creek. Anthropogenic Impacts The two most notable water quality problem areas in the Kissimmee River basin are Lake Tohopekaliga (Toho) and the lower Kissimmee River. Lake Toho has eutrophication problems due to excessive nutrient loads, while the lower Kissimmee River's problems are due to channelization. Lake Toho and Shingle Creek's water quality degraded significantly in the 1970s due to an overload of nutrients originating primarily from WWTP discharge and nonpoint source urban and agricultural runoff. Two lake drawdown projects by the Florida Game and 27 Fresh Water Fish Commission in the 1970s temporarily improved fishing in the lake; however, the continued excessive nutrient loading quickly negated the benefits of the lake drawdowns. In 1980, a governmental task force identified the sources of Lake Toho's water quality problems. Reduction of nutrient loads from point and nonpoint sources was advised. Since then, all of the direct surface water discharges into the Toho drainage have been removed, although there are a few that have land application or holding ponds that may seep into the system. In the last few years, Lake Toho has shown improvements in chlorophyll and phosphorus concentrations. The Lake Toho project continues to be a noteworthy news item as an example of a success story. Shingle Creeles flow was significantly reduced after the removal of WWTP discharge, but water quality has improved. An offshoot of the Lake Toho problem was the location of a new discharge point for the City of Kissimmee WWTP, which had been going to the lake. An alternative discharge site is the Reedy Creek-Lake Russell watershed which is located west of Lake Toho. The Department has performed several studies on the adequacy of this system to assirnflate treated wastewater. In 1985 the Department signed a Consent Order with five parties who need the continued use of Reedy Creek as a discharge system. A number of the point sources have now been removed from the creek. Reedy Creek Improvement District (Disney World) is permitted to discharge to the creek, however, they are using spray irrigation to treat their waste instead of direct discharges to the creek. It, too, is investigating several other methods of treatment and disposal. The City of Kissimmee is now using land spreading of the effluent rather than discharge to Reedy Creek. Lake Russell, downstream of Reedy Creek, has shown an increase in phosphorus over the last several years, a trend which may be reversed due to the more stringent wasteload allocations. Water quality suffers downstream of Lake Toho (Cypress Lake, Lake Hatchineha and, to some degree, Lake Kissimmee) due to the large nutrient loads leaving Lake Toho. These lakes are showing improving trends in some water quality parameters in recent years. The other lakes and reaches in the upper basin not affected by Reedy Creek, Shingle Creek or Lake Tohopekaliga generally have good water quality. Reedy Lake in the southwest portion of the basin suffers from algae blooms and Lake Weohyakapka has had recent bouts with invasive and prolific Mdrilla. From Lake Kissimmee to Lake Okeechobee, the Kissimmee River is a deep channel with little or no floodplain as a result of a channelization project by the Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1960s. Water quality in the channel varies from north to south. From Lake Kissimmee to near Lake Okeechobee, water quality is fairly good. The channel flows mostly through unimproved rangeland. However, as it nears Lake Okeechobee, cattle become more concentrated and dairies more numerous. Nutrient and BOD rich runoff from all along the channel flows quickly through the river to Lake Okeechobee and exacerbates eutrophication problems there. Perhaps more significant 28 than the water quality problems in the river is the habitat modification and consequent loss of biological diversity and functional wetlands. Recently, efforts have been made to restore parts of the river to its natural, meandering course by strategically placing weirs in the channel. In those sections the river has returned to its original floodplain, effectively re-creating the buffering wetlands. Land purchases, design plans and monitoring are being continued toward the restoration goal of 32,000 acres. The governor has supported a multi-million dollar plan to return the river to its natural state, but funding has not yet been fully established. Included in the restoration plans are proposals for backfilling about 29 miles of C-3 8, new excavation of 11. 6 miles of river channel, a Headwaters Revitalization Project that will raise the upper basin lakes' regulated levels to allow a more natural flow of water, and construction of containment levees and bridge crossings at U.S. Highway 98. 29 USGS HYDROLIDGIC UNIT: 03090101 KISSIMMEE RIVER INDEX GOOD FAIR POCR ----------- ----- ----- ----- SURFACE WATER QUALITY DATA FOR 1970-1993 WQI-RIVER 0-44 45-59-60-90 MEDIAN VALUES FOR EACH WATERSHED CURRENT PERIOD OF RECORD (1989-1993) USED WHERE AVAILABLE TSI-ES7UARY 0-49 50-59 60-100 ----- TSI-LAKE 0-59 60-69 70-100 1 PERIOD PRIOR TO 1989 IS EVALUATED AS HISTORICAL INFORMATION I BIOLOGICAL WATER WATERSHED WATERSHED DATA RECORD WATER DISSOLVED OXYGEN PH TROPHIC SPECIES QUALITY ID NAME ---------------------- CLARITY OXYGEN DEMAND ALKALINITY STATUS COLIFORM DIVERSITY COND FLOW ---- INDICES---- ---- --------------- ----- ----- ------- ----- --------------------------------- MAX BEG END DATA ---------------------------- ---------- --------------- ---------- --------------- ------ BECK COND FLOW WQI TSI #OBS YR YR PERIOD TURB SD COLOR TSS Do DOSAT BOD COD TOC PH ALK NITRO PHOS CHLA TOTAL FECL NAT ART WATER BODY TYPE: LAKE 1 LAKE SPRING 15 89 91 Current 0.6 4.5 15 2 8.2 92 1.4 7.6 41 0.53 0.01 3 6 237 23 3 Lake Placid 2 92 92 Current 6 5.8 73 6.3 . 0.59 0.03 117 45 5 Lake June in Winter 176 70 85 Historical 2.7 2.7 12 8.1 97 0.6 7 6.8 7 0.59 0.02 11 37 1 3.1 6 123 34 7 Lake Istokpoga 675 89 93 Current 14.5 0.8 74 7 8.4 100 3.4 7.3 22 0.97 0.05 13 151 93 149 57 10 Lake Josphine 72 70 86 Historical 4.1 0.8 83 10 7.3 91 1.0 17 6.2 2 0.76 0.06 13 2 1 1 73 56 14 Lake Jackson 220 70 85 Historical 1.6 2.8 6 . 7.5 90 0.9 5 6.7 5 0.44 0.03 3 20 1 0 92 37 17 LAKE SEBRING 7 74 86 Historical 9.5 0.3 120 12 6.1 87 0.9 13 6.1 2 0.85 0.10 28 4 1 60 72 23 LAKE DAMON 29 74 86 Historical 1.4 1.9 10 9.3 97 0.8 6 6.5 2 0.43 0.03 4 2 2 1 230 40 25 Lake Arbuckle 135 70 BI Historical 5.0 0.8 68 8.8 93 20 6.8 17 1.01 0.03 19 120 46 29 LAKE CLINCH 91 80 81 Historical 1.0 2.6 10 6.9 4 0.34 0.01 7 95 30 31 Reedy Lake 212 73 81 Historical 9.0 0.9 15 12 8.5 94 3.7 39 10 8.2 47 1.57 0.04 29 180 18 1.5 2.0 2 200 60 34 CROOKED LAKE OUTLET 129 70 81 Historical 1.5 2.9 5 . 8.6 95 0.8 5 6.5 3 0.43 0.01 84 29 35 Lake Weohyakapka 3 92 93 Current 2.7 1.7 123 1 9.2 98 0.8 8.3 20 0.63 0.03 4 125 37 36 LAKE KISSIMMEE SOUTH 149 89 93 Current 2.7 1.2 63 4 5.0 53 2.1 6.7 28 1.12 0.04 13 157 49 38 Tiger Lake 3 80 80 Historical . 0.7 75 8.9 27 0.78 0.04 4 84 53 39 LAKE MARIAN 2 93 93 Current 10.3 0.5 50 14 6.2 75 3.3 7.5 36 2.06 0.10 77 176 76 42 LAKE KISSIMMEE MID 95 B9 93 Current 7.4 0.8 51 10 B.0 96 1.9 7.3 26 1.23 0.04 27 164 61 43 LAKE WALES 460 71 71 Historical 5.0 . . 6.0 72 1.28 0.03 161 42 45 LAKE KISSIMMEE NORTH 19 89 93 Current 26.0 0.8 6.8 27 1.33 0.06 21 155 63 46 Lake Rosalie 130 70 80 Historical 7.0 1.1 53 7.?

It is hoped that with these purchases the historic flood plain between Highway 42 and Sharpes Ferry may one day be restored. At this time, Oklawaha Farms (the only area farm still in operation) is being leased back for farming. Sunny Hill Farms is being flooded in hopes of restoring the types of vegetation found in the historic flood plain. Water draining from the farm into the Oklawaha has had very high nutrient values. � A drawdown/enhancement project is proposed for Lake Griffin in 1995. The project, sponsored by the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission, will also dredge the Oklawaha to Highway 42. � A compromise plan to turn the Cross Florida Barge Canal into a 40,000 acre "greenway corridor" for recreation and conservation appears to have been achieved this year � A citizen group, Friends of Lake Apopka, has formed to work on speeding up the c6rrective/restoration techniques. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 42 Ecoloitical Characterization The Oklawaha River flows northward for approximately 96 miles from its headwaters near Lake Apopka to the St. Johns River just south of Welaka, Florida. The upper reaches of the river consist primarily of a series of interconnecting lakes known as the Oklawaha Chain of Lakes, which is joined at Lake Harris by the Palatlakaha. River, draining another chain of lakes. Natural flow patterns have been aittred in some areas by the construction of manmade canals and water control structures. Agriculture is common throughout the area of the chain of lakes. Nearly all of the Palatlakaha drainage, and much of the upper Oklawaha, consisted of citrus groves until recent freezes; however, Apopka (particularly the northern half) is a concentrated row crop farming center. There are also several cities in the area hist orically established in association with the agriculture industry. Downstream of Lake Griffin, the Oklawaha River becomes a recognizable channel. For about five miles, the river is channelized and diked off from more agricultural lands (see in the news for information on this area!s farms). Then it begins to take its natural meandering path northward through woodlands. The crystal clear Silver River joins the blackwater Oklawaha near Ocala and approximately triples its flow to an average of 1, 100 cfs. From here the river meanders through a vast hardwood swamp. Numerous artesian wells from the Floridan Aquifer also contribute to the flow. Runoff provides little input to this system as the numerous lakes and swamps serve as recharge areas for the Floridan Aquifer. The lower Oklawaha, at the bend, was dammed as part of the Cross Florida Barge Canal project, which was stopped in the early 1970s. The major land use in the lower Oklawaha. River basin is forest land, with the Ocala National Forest extending the length of the eastern drainage. An undefined drainage area southeast of Gainesville is also assigned to this basin. It consists of a large expanse of wetland, Paynes Prairie, several lakes, and their associated streams. The southernmost and largest lake, Orange Lake, has a small creek connecting it to the Oklawaha River. Rangeland and silviculture dominate land use here. The Oklawaha River below Lake Griffin is bordered by swampy areas on the west and the Ocala National Forest on the east, so it receives very little pollution. In addition, the inflow of high quality, Floridan Aquifer ground water from Silver Springs acts to dilute upstream pollution. The confluence of the clear blue waters of Silver River with the blackwater of the Oklawaha amidst a backdrop of the cypress floodplain is an impressive sight. Anthropogenic Impacts 43 This basin has the distinction of having some of the most pristine and beautiful river and lake reaches in the state as well as some of the most polluted. Of the good water quality reaches, there are the Palatlakaha Chain of Lakes, Silver Springs Run, Orange and Lochloosa Lakes and the Oklawaha River itself downstream of Silver Springs. The majority of water quality problems are in the southern portion of this basin, with the exception of Hogtown Creek which runs through Gainesville in the northern-most portion of the basin. An industrial toxic waste site (from wood preserving) is located on the upper portion of Hogtown Creek and is being cleaned up with State and Superfund monies. Additionally, Hogtown Creek receives urban runoff from the City of Gainesville. In the southern region of the basin, the worst pollution problem is found in Lake Apopka which historically received effluent from citrus processing plants, a WWTP and large quantities of agricultural runoff. The point sources have either been eliminated or considerably reduced. Two citrus plants - Citrus Central and Winter Garden Citrus discharge cooling water to the lake, and Anderson Peat, a peat mining operation, discharges water drained from their peat. The City of Winter Garden discharges to the lake via underdrains. Excessive BOD and nutrient loading still occurs from back-pumping and intensive, heavily fertilized row crop agriculture on the organically rich floodplain soils which surround the lake. Of the 19,000 acres once muck farmed around the lake, about 6,000 to 7,000 acres are now out of production. Recently, there has been a great deal of controversy between the owners of the muck farms and environmental groups intent on restoring the lake. To date the SJRWMD has converted nearly 900 acres of previously fanned land near the downstream end of the lake to treatment wetlands. Construction was completed in September, 1991. Later, the area proposed to be involved in wetland ' treatment will be 5,000 acres. This area should turn over the entire lake volume twice a year. Additionally, two of the major muck farms have signed a consent order requiring greatly reduced nutrient loading from their runoff. Most of the other lakes downstream of Lake Apopka (Lakes Dora, Eustis, and Griffin) are also hypereutrophic from excessive nutrient loading from historical WVVFTP discharge, upstream sources and citrus and muck farming in their own drainage areas. Lake County has initiated a new policy which has eliminated WWTP discharge to these lakes. They are monitoring these lakes to determine the extent of water quality improvement. SJRWMD has acquired several muck farms along the Chain of Lakes and the Oklawaha River. The cessation of agricultural discharges and restoration of floodplain wetlands combined with the enforcement of adequate Best Management Practices for remaining agricultural operations are expected to improve these lakes'water quality. Lake Weir has had a persistent problem with diseased fish populations. Black crappie disappeared from the lake in the early to mid 80s. A restocking effort by FGFWFC has had some success. Limited reproduction of the species was documented in 1990 and 1991. Periodic die-offs of largemouth bass during summer months have plagued the lake 44 I I for years. The probable cause is "no blood disease" characterized by low blood counts, I pale gills, and listless behavior.

Ecoloixical Characterization The upper St. Johns River basin is defined as the area between the St. Johns River headwaters and the confluence of the Oklawaha and St. Johns Rivers. The headwaters of the St. Johns River emerge from the St. Johns Marsh in St. Lucie and Indian River Counties at an altitude of only 27 feet above the river's mouth. The St. Johns basin is actually an ancient coastal lagoon system, confined by barrier islands when sea levels were higher. As sea level dropped, those barrier islands became the Atlantic coastal ridge, preventing the eastward flow of water, and causing the water to collect in the flat valley and slowly meander northward for approximately 300 miles, entering the Atlantic Ocean near Jacksonville. Mean flow for the upper St. Johns River is 1300 cfs at Lake Poinsett outlet (209 miles from the mouth) and 3200 cfs near DeLand (142 miles from the mouth). However, reverse flows from tidal effects extend far upstream and can even be noticed, in the dry season, as far as Lake Monroe, over 160 river miles from the sea. The upper St. Johns River near the headwaters has been extensively modified by canals and dikes. It has been estimated that some 60% of the Upper St. Johns floodplain has been drained for use -- mostly as rangeland or citrus groves. Several major canals divert waters eastward to the Indian River Lagoon. However, a restoration project by the St. 60 Johns River Water Management District and the Army Corps of Engineers is now underway. The project will restore significant portions of the original St. Johns River marsh and decrease the amount of water diverted to the Indian River Lagoon, Downstream from Lake Harney the river takes on a different look. It becomes wider and deeper and is lined with hardwood swamps. There are a number of large shallow lakes associated with this middle portion of the river. Additionally, the river receives inflow from several springs or spring run tributaries. Portions of this segment are in Ocala National Forest or Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. From swampland origins, the river and associated lakes are basically blackwater type waterbodies. Land use is largely agriculture in the upper reaches of the upper St. Johns River basin with a greater percentage of forest land in the downstream reaches. There is considerable urban land use in the middle portion of the basin in the Orlando vicinity. Because of its extremely sluggish nature, the river often acts more like a lake and concentrates runoff pollutants. Anthropogenic Impacts Although the headwaters of the St. Johns River have been extensively altered into drainage channels, water quality in the upper reaches of the basin is borderline good to fair with localized areas of poor quality. DO values tend to be low because of the sluggish nature of the stream. Row crop, citrus and cattle operations contribute nutrients, agricultural chemicals and bacteria to portions of the river. An experimental restoration project on two canals north of Blue Cypress Lake indicated that reflooding marshes improves water quality- Lake Washington is classified as a Class I water and provides drinking water for Melbourne, Florida. It maintains a good rating; however, a degrading trend in chlorophyll and phosphorus was detected. The Lake has recently experienced extensive growths of Hydrilla, unlike any in the past. Lake Poinsett, located downstream of Lake Washington, used to receive effluent from two small volume WWTPs which provided nutrient loading to the lake. These plants have now connected to a centralized facility. From Lake Poinsett to Puzzle Lake, the St. Johns River and its tributaries are very shallow, and DO concentrations are typically low due to the drainage from marshy floodplains. A DEP basin assessment describes this as a "recovery area" from upstream perturbations. Downstream of Puzzle Lake, the St. Johns River and its lakes and tributaries have many water quality problems, mostly related to urban development around Orlando. The problems are chiefly a result of discharge from the numerous WWTPs and from urban runoff. Most of Orlando's runoff drains into its numerous urban lakes. After years of degrading trends, many of the lakes are benefiting from local programs to revegetate the banks, remove litter and, in some cases, provide alum treatment. Additionally, in recent years, many of the smaller, poorly-regulated WWTP facilities have been connected with one of the two major Orlando regional sewage treatment plants: Iron Bridge and Orange 61 County Easterly. The former plant discharges to the Little Econlockhatchee (Econ) and also to a wetland area that drains to the St. Johns River. About half of the Orange County Eastern discharge goes to the Econlockhatchee River via a wetland treatment area. The other half is used as cooling water for the local utility company. Both plants are considering expansions. The consolidation of several facilities into these two plants has resulted in significantly improved water treatment. Wetland filtration has also played a major role in improved water treatment. The water quality in the affected reaches of the Econ system appears to be improving. Lake Harney has also shown modest improvements. Although the Little Econ is moderately impaired by these point and nonpoint pollution sources, the main stem of the Econlockhatchee River retains much of its natural character. However, it is under heavy developmental pressure and several regional concern groups are making efforts to protect and buy much of the river corridor. A task force dedicated to the Econ River was established by the Water Management District. The tributary system flowing into Lake Jessup has had WWTP impacts in the past (especially Lake Howell), however, at present the primary source of pollution is stormwater. The Lake Howell drainage basin has shown improvement in water quality due diversion of WWTP effluents from this system. Lake Howell also receives a lot of stormwater runoff. Lake Jessup is very eutrophic with an almost constant algal bloom and yearly fish kills. Although no wastewater is currently discharged into the system, recovery is likely to be slow because of very low flushing rates. Several agencies are collecting data on Lake Jessup to determine if restoration of the lake is possible, and what methods might be appropriate. Studies on the flow into and out of the river, groundwater inputs, and water-nutrient budgets are underway. Another lake suffering from severe eutrophication is Lake Monroe which receives WWTP discharge from the Sanford and Deltona plants. The City of Sanford has proposed a reuse and land application process to remove the discharge from Lake Monroe. City of Sanford's reuse plan is under way. Most of their effluent is reused, but they are permitted to discharge to the lake. A revegetation program for this lake by DEP and the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission was completed in 1989. Downstream of Lake Monroe, the Wekiva River adds good quality water to the St. Johns. The Weldva and Little Wekiva Rivers and Blackwater Creek have been designated as Outstanding Florida Waters to afford them greater protection from future degradation. The Altamonte Springs advanced wastewater treatment plant, which began operation in the mid-seventies, greatly improved the dissolved oxygen concentrations in the Little Wekiva River which had a history of poor water quality due to domestic and industrial discharge. Altamonte Springs is reusing a portion of it's effluent as well as having improved it's treatment process. However, nutrients and bacteria concentrations remain high in this reach, and developmental pressure is great. A small watershed just north of the Wekiva River (Lake Norris/Blackwater Creek system) has excellent water quality and is an OFW. Portions of this basin are proposed for state purchase to ensure preservation. 62 The water quality in St. Johns River improves between Lakes Monroe and George. Only one WWTP discharges (DeLand) to this section of the river. The City of Deland is reusing a portion of it's effluent instead of piping it to the St. Johns.

All three are actually estuarine lagoons with tidal influence extending only approximately 10 miles north and south of the inlets. There is little freshwater influence from natural stream drainage areas, with the exception of the Eau Gallie and Sebastian areas. In their natural state, the lagoons are bordered by mangrove swamp or Spartina marsh and have lush growths of seagrasses on their bottoms. Mosquito Lagoon and Turnbull Bay retains much of their native vegetation; whereas, the shores of Indian and Banana River are becoming more and more urbanized. The land portion of the basin is dominated by urban developments, rangeland and wetlands. Causeways serve to partition the Banana and Indian River Lagoons, causing considerable localization of wind and tidal mixing effects. Mosquito Lagoon connects with the Indian River north of the Eau Gallie Causeway and through Haulover Canal, part of the Intracoastal Waterway. The Indian River connects with Banana River through the deep, narrow Barge Canal, which connects to Port Canaveral through a system of locks. Sykes Creek connects Newfound Harbor to the Barge Canal, and receives drainage from several large canals and fresh water tributaries. Urban areas are often networked with canals connecting to the estuary. Some of the urban areas are still served by septic tanks. Other fresh water input comes from canals draining rangeland or orchards further to the west. Interbasin diversions of fresh water have greatly augmented natural inflows to the system during the wet season. Anthropogenic Impacts There are several difficulties with the analysis of this basin. First, the reach units are too large to point out localized areas of water quality problems. Second, there is not a firm consensus among the surveyed water quality professionals in the area. The following analysis and water quality map represent the best assessment of available data, state criteria, and professional opinion. The southernmost reach of Indian River has very good water quality except for the immediate vicinity of Turkey Creek, Crane Creek, and Eau Gallie River. Turkey Creek has a variety of pollution sources including a drainage canal from the St. Johns River Basin, and urban runoff from the Melbourne area. Part of the SWIM plan for the area involves diverting some water back to the St. Johns River. Crane Creek has been degraded from Melbourne's two WWT`Ps discharges. Both have now ceased discharging and are using deep well injection. Eau Gallie River receives urban runoff. A WWTP ceased discharging to the Eau Gallie River more than 3 years ago. Another major pollution source in Indian River is the Rockledge/Cocoa development area with nutrient and BOD loading from WWTPs and urban runoff. The middle portion of Indian River from Titusville to Cocoa has poor water quality along the developed western side. Water quality is degraded due to two Titusville WWTPs' effluents, significant urban runoff from a labyrinthine canal system, and several causeway bridges which severely limit water circulation. Development and associated polluticr-, is significantly reduced north of Titusville. Water quality in that area can be considered good to excellent. The worst water quality problem in the Banana River area is the Sykes Creek/Newfound Harbor area located in southern Merritt Island. These areas have had algal blooms, seagrass die-offs, and occasional fish kills. The area is heavily developed and has historically had several poorly operating WWTPs discharging to Sykes Creek. These plants have all been upgraded and are no longer discharging to Sykes Creek. The creek still exhibits high concentrations of nutrients and chlorophyll and low Secchi depth values. At present a worsening trend in water quality has been observed. The middle of the Banana River also receives effluent from WWTPs associated with Cocoa Beach and the Patrick Air Force Station complex on the Canaveral Peninsula. The southern end of the lagoon previously received additional WWTP discharge from county operated facilities. These treatment plants have shifted to deep well discharge which should help to improve the surface water quality. Port Canaveral, a manmade harbor which connects the Banana River to the Atlantic Ocean through a series of locks, receives pollution from both shipping traffic discharges and from the effluent of several seafood processing industries. The northern areas of Merritt Island and Banana River are sparsely developed (because they are part of the Kennedy Space Center) and water quality is good. Mosquito Lagoon is wide and shallow and, thus fairly well mixed through wind action. This mixed condition accounts for the low Secchi disc transparency and high nutrient values. There are few point sources in this region, and development is relatively sparse (due to Kennedy Space Center and the Canaveral National Seashore), but usually serviced by septic tanks. Most of the area is classified as Class 11 waters, but has recently been reclassified fforn approved for shellfish harvesting to conditionally approved. This is why it received a "fair" rating since it only partially meets its designated use. 82 USGS HYDROLOGIC UNIT: 03080202 EAST COAST, MIDDLE INDEX GOOD FAIR POOR suRFACE WATER QUA117Y DATA FOR 1970-1993 ----------- ----- ----- ----- MEDIAN VALUES FOR EACH WATERSHED WQI-RIVER 0-44 45-59-60-90 CURRENT PERIOD OF RECORD (1989-1993) USED WHERE AVAILABLE TSI-ESTUARY 0-49 50-59 60-100 ----- PERIOD PRIOR TO '989 IS EVALUATED AS HISTORICAL INFORMATION TSI-LAKE 0-59 60-69 70-100 1 1 BIOLOGICAL WATER wATE;LSHED WATERSHED DATA RECORD WATER DISSOLVED OXYGEN P14 TROPHIC SPECIES QUALITY -D NAME ---------------------- CLARITY OXYGEN DEMAND ALKALINITY STATUS COLIFOR14 DIVERSITY COND FLOW INDICES ---- --------------------------------- MAX BEG END DATA ---------------------------- ---------- --------------- ---------- --------------- ---------- --------------- ----- ----- --------------- #OBS YR YR PERIOD TURB SD COLOR TSS DO DOSAT BOD COD TOC PH ALK NITRO PROS CHIA TOTAL FECL NAT ART BECK COND FLOW WQI TSI WATER BODY -,YP---: ESTUARY 6 INDIAN R.
