                               Local Planning for Coastal Nonpoint Source Pollution



                                                         Volume 1







                                                    Executive Summary



                         This is the first in a two-part series of reports on coastal nonpoint source pollution
                     issues prepared for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) under the
                     state's coastal management program. nis report has been prepared by two university study
                     teams - one from Florida State University and one from Florida Adanfic/Florida
                     International University. This report begins a discussion of how local comprehensive plans
                     can be used to address nonpoint source pollution problems in Florida. A follow-up report
                     will be prepared during the Spring of 1994 to extend this discussion. Volume 2 in this
                     report series will discuss how local government land development regulations can also be
                     used to address coastal nonpoint pollution problems in Florida.

                          Under Section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990,
                     the DEP must prepare a state coastal nonpoint source (NPS) program. The DEP will
                     inventory and assess existing NPS programs in Florida to determine their effectiveness,
                     and may recommend improvements. The assessment must address five c     ategories of
                     nonpoint sources of pollution identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
                     (EPA):


                             0 agriculture
                             - forestry
                             0 urban
                             a marinas and recreational boating, and
                             6 hydromodification projects.








                             Existing NPS programs at the state, regional, and local government levels will be
                        studied as part of this process, including those identified in Florida's EPA-approved
                        Section 319 nonpoint source management program.

                             This report addresses how local government comprehensive plans may be used to help
                        meet the requirements of the federal 6217 program. It contains a preliminary analysis of
                        local comprehensive plans in fourteen cities and counties chosen from two study areas
                        Tampa Bay and the Indian River Lagoon.

                             'Me research teams inventoried comprehensive plans in each of these jurisdictions and
                        catalogued all goals, objectives, and policies that seemed to address five types of nonpoint
                        source pollution that are of great interest to EPA, namely urban, agricultural, forestry,
                        marinas and recreational boating, and hydromodification issues. Each such local planning
                        goal, objective and policy was further compared to a list of management measures that EPA
                        will ultimately use tojudge the effectiveness of managing nonpoint source pollution
                        problems in coastal states.


                             Ile second phase of this research project will extend this examination of local plans to
                        the actual land development regulations that carry out the plans in these same cities and
                        counties. These evaluations of local comprehensive plans can be used to help judge
                        whether local comprehensive plans and their implementing regulations can be used
                        effectively to manage nonpoint source pollution problems in other areas of the state.

                       'ne DEP's work plan for accomplishing this includes an inventory and assessment of.
                       existing NPS programs in Florida to deten-nine their effectiveness, together with any
                       recommended improvements. The assessment at a minimum will cover five general
                       categories of nonpoint sources of pollution identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection
                       Agency (EPA):

                                    - agriculture
                                    - forestry-----
                                    * urban
                                    0 Marinas and recreational boating, and
                                    - hydromodification projects.


                       Existing NPS programs at the state, regional, and local government levels will be studied
                       as part of this process, including those identified in Florida's EPA-approved Section 319
                       nonpoint source management program.


                       At the local government level, important components of this assessment process involve
                       local government comprehensive plans and land development regulations prepared pursuant
                       to the state's planning and growth management system. Under the Local Government
                       Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act of 1985 (Chapter 163,
                       Part Il, Florida Statutes), each city and county in Florida has adopted a local
                       comprehensive plan, generally during a 3-year period from July 1, 1988 to July 1, 1991.
                       Local comprehensive plans must address a wide range of issues, from land use,
                       transportation, housing and public facilities to conservation, recreation and open space,
                       capital improvements and coastal management.

                   Adoption of local land development regulations follows the adoption of a local
                   comprehensive plan and serves as a principal means of implementing the plan. Local
                   comprehensive plans and land development regulations can be a significant and powerful
                   tool, for local governments to address a broad range of land use and environmental quality
                   problems, including the regulation and management of nonpoint source pollution to
                   improve local water quality conditions.

                   This report summarizes the first phase of a two-pan investigation into the extent to which
                   Florida's local planning and growth management programs can be used to help the State of
                   Florida meet the requirements for federal approval under the 6217 program. It is prepared
                   under contract with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, which is
                   responsible for developing the state's overall 6217 program. Funding was provided by the
                   Florida Department of Community Affairs through the coastal management program and
                   the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The second phase of the
                   investigation is scheduled for completion in the Spring of 1994.



                   Project Approach
                   The overall study involves an in-depth examination of 14 sets of local comprehensive plans
                   and land development regulations within two of Florida's largest and most important
                   estuaries, Tampa Bay and the Indian River Lagoon. The local jurisdictions involved in this
                   study are:


                                 Gulf Coast (Tampa Bay)


                       Counties                              Municipalities

                     Ile two study areas chosen for this project are designated for special management attention
                     by the federal government under the National Estuary Program (NEP). Both contain
                     several state-designated aquatic preserves within their overall watershed boundaries. Both
                     waterbodies have also been targeted for special protection and restoration efforts under the
                     state's Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Act.


                     During 1992-93 the Homer Hoyt Center at Florida State University and the FAU/FlU` Joint
                     Center for Environmental and Urban Problems examined local government comprehensive
                     plans in these two major coastal areas to determine their consistency with SWIM plans
                     prepared by the water management districts and with aquatic preserve plans prepared by the
                     Florida Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The researchers defined the scope of the
                     previous investigation by first identifying three aquatic preserve areas to measure
                     consistency among the three different types of planning documents. In the Tampa Bay area,
                     the study focused on Cockroach Bay and Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve plans and the
                     associated local government comprehensive plans from Hillsborough and Manatee counties
                     as well as the City of Palmetto. In the Indian River Lagoon area, the study concentrated on
                     a portion of the lower lagoon where a new prototype plan had been prepared by DNR for
                     the area between Jenson Beach and Jupiter Inlet. The present study area is an outgrowth of
                     this previous research project.


                     The evaluations of local comprehensive plans reported in this study can be used to help
                     judge whether local comprehensive plans and their implementing regulations can be used
                     effectively to manage nonpoint source pollution problems in other areas of the state.
                     Shortfalls and deficiencies in local programs examined in this study will no doubt reflect
                     upon similar needs to streng then local planning and land development regulations in other
                     parts of the state.

                      Project Organization
                      As mentioned earlier, the overall project is divided into two phases. Phase One work
                      commenced during November 1993 and will be completed by December 31, 1993. Phase
                      Two work will be accomplished during the Spring of 1994. 'Me objectives of the overall
                      investigation are to:

                      1. Determine the geographic and jurisdictional scope of local comprehensive plans and
                         land development regulations within the two study areas with respect to the following
                         categories of nonpoint source activities:

                                   e agriculture
                                   - forestry
                                   - urban
                                   - marinas and recreational boating, and
                                   - hydromodification projects.


                      2. Determine the effectiveness of local comprehensive plans and land development
                         regulations according to the following measures:

                                   - scope of the program
                                   - monitoring and enforcement procedures
                                   - availability of resources
                                   - ability to implement best management practices


                      3. Determine whether the measures are enforceable as defined by guidance provided by
                         the 6217 program.


                      In Phase One, the following tasks were completed and are documented in this report:


                      Task 1 - Analyze all local comprehensive plans in the two study areas regarding nonpoint
                      source pollution issues, and document all existing objectives and policies that relate to
                      agriculture, forestry, urban, marinas and recreational boating, and hydromodification
                      sources of nonpoint pollution.









                      Chapter 1 - Introduction                                                        Page 4








                      Task 2 - Travel to and consult with the staffs of water management districts associated with
                      the two study areas about their jurisdiction and oversight of nonpoint source pollution
                      within their district.


                      Task 3 - Analyze all comprehensive plan amendments relative to whether, and the extent to
                      which, they relate to nonpoint source pollution issues.


                      Following this introductory chapter are four more chapters that comprise the balance of this
                      report. In Chapter 2, there are a series of matrices for quickly comparing the provisions of
                      all fourteen local government comprehensive plans examined during Phase One against the
                      presence or absence of 53 Management Measures provided by EPA for the areas of
                      agriculture, forestry, urban, marinas and i-e-creational boating, and hydromodification. The
                      information contained in these matrices will be analyzed further during Phase 2 of the
                      research project.


                      Chapter 3 contains the text of numerous local planning goals, objectives, and policies that
                      relate to nonpoint source pollution. This information is taken directly from the
                      comprehensive plan of each local government located within the two study areas. Later on
                      in Chapter 5, there is a review of all comprehensive plan amendments that relate to local
                      issues involving nonpoint sources of pollution.


                      Additionally, Chapter 4 of the report summarizes the results of two visits made by the
                      project team to the offices of the Southwest Florida Water Management District and the
                      South Florida Water Management District. These meetings provided useful insight into the
                      districts' views of local progress towards managing nonpoint sources of pollution, as well
                      as information about planning and permitting activities related to nonpoint source pollution
                      abatement at the water management district level.


                      Phase Two of the project will extend this analysis of local government plans into the
                      question of how they are being implemented. The land development regulations of each
                      local jurisdiction in the two study areas will be analyzed to determine how they address the
                      five issues'of primary concern to EPA, namely, agriculture, forestry, urban, marinas and








                      Chapter I - Introduction                                                            Page 5








                       recreational boating, and hydromodification sources of nonpoint pollution. In a future
                       report for Phase Two, the project investigators will address the implementability, economic
                       feasibility, and enforceability of local government planning policies and land development
                       regulations as they relate to managing nonpoint sources of pollution in each of the fourteen
                       local governmental jurisdictions.


                       As in the case of Phase One, the Phase Two report wiU compare the strength and direction
                       of local government land development regulations with the Management Measures outlined
                       by EPA for the Section 6217 program. The report will also assess issues of coordination
                       mechanisms and funding availability for local government pollution control programs.
                       Finally, the Phase Two report will include conclusions from the study team's assessment
                       of the extent to which Florida's local planning and growth management program can be
                       used to help meet the enforceable policies requirement for the state's nonpoint source
                       pollution program called for by Section 6217.

                                 Local Plans and EPA 6217 Management Measures





                      This chapter provides a.brief overview of material contained in the 14 local
                      comprehensive plans that were reviewed for this project. It begins to suggest how local
                      comprehensive plans might relate to management measures developed by the U.S.
                      Environmental Protection Agency for preventing or abating nonpoint sources of pollution
                      in coastal waters. In essence, it is a "super summary" of more detailed information about
                      local planning policies related to nonpoint source pollution that is found in later chapters,
                      principally Chapter 3.

                      The reason for this is that in Chapter 3, the investigators lay out the results of a detailed
                      examination of each of the 14 local comprehensive plans involved in this study. Every
                      goal, objective or planning policy-that might in some way contribute towards managing
                      local nonpoint pollution problems is identified in Chapter 3 and categorized according to
                      5 major areas of concern to EPA, e.g., agriculture, forestry, urban, marinas and
                      recreational boating, and hydromodific   ation sources of nonpoint pollution.

                      Later on, during Phase 2 of this investigation, the land development regulations that help
                      implement each comprehensive plan will also be closely examined. This process may add
                      to or subtract from the lists of local planning policies that are contained in this report, as
                      the investigators gain a better understanding of how local government planning policies
                      for managing nonpoint source pollution are carried out in actual practice.

                      At the same time, the reader of this report is cautioned that the contents of these matrices,
                      while interesting to see at a glance how a number of matters of concern to EPA may or
                      may not be addressed at the local government planning level, are incomplete in another
                      sense. During Phase 2 the investigators will travel to each local government jurisdiction
                      involved in the study area and talk with planners, engineers, and other local staff involved
                      with local nonpoint source management programs. This process is expected to add greatly
                      to the body of knowledge on how various local planning and regulatory schemes can be
                      reliably counted upon by the State of Florida when it prepares its state program for
                      submittal to EPA and NOAA.

                       As a result, these matrices will be reviewed again during Phase 2 of this investigation and
                       will no doubt change in at least some respects. Nonetheless, they begin to show across a
                       number of local jurisdictions just where local comprehensive plans within the two study
                       areas are tending to address certain problems related to nonpoint source pollution,
                       including many associated with land use and land development issues, and also where
                       they tend not to address some issues at all.

                       Hillsborough and Manatee Counties and the City of Palmetto are presented together in
                       the first set of matrices, representing the three local jurisdictions in the Tampa Bay study
                       area. Following these are three sets of additional matrices that present similar information
                       for the local government comprehensive plans in the Indian River Lagoon study area.
                       With one exception (Sewell's Point), the information for all municipalities is presented
                       together with the respective county. The 53 management measures are taken directly
                       from the document entitled "Guidance Specifying Management Measures for Sources of
                       Nonpoint Pollution in Coastal Waters," published by EPA in January 1990. For each
                       comprehensive plan, the local government policies which may relate to each management
                       measure are referenced by policy number. If no related policy was found, the matrix entry

                  A major research task in Phase I of this project entailed the detailed examination of the
                  adopted local comprehensive plan of each of the 14 cities and counties that are located
                  within the Tampa Bay and Indian River Lagoon study areas.

                  In the Tampa Bay area, the study focused on the local government comprehensive
                  plans from 14illsborough and Manatee counties as well as the City of Palmetto. In the
                  Indian River Lagoon area, the study concentrated on the local comprehensive plans
                  from the following jurisdictions:

                  that contain goals, objectives and policies that pertain to nonpoint source pollution issues
                  in Hillsborough and Manatee Counties and the City of Palmetto. Following these three
                  tables are eleven additional ones that present similar information for the local government
                  comprehensive plans of cities and counties in the Indian River Lagoon study area.

                     Each meeting began with a description of the scope of the research project with DEP and
                     how it fits into. the overall picture of EPA's 6217 program. We explained to the districts
                     that the primary focus in this project is on local comprehensive planning and land
                     development regulations that relate to the two study areas. We specifically asked them to
                     help us better understand how local governments address issues in the five areas that EPA
                     has identified, and how well they do this in their local plans and LDRs. Discussion
                     proceeded in both meetings to general problems associated with nonpoint source
                     pollution in each district that relate to the two study areas associated with this project.

                     As a result of these discussions, the two research teams became much more familiar with
                     how each district handles issues that arise in the five EPA areas of interest, e.g. how do
                     they permit agricultural uses, do their regulations apply to forestry operations, how do
                     they work with landowners to encourage best management practices, etc. We also
                     focused as much as possible on how these five issue areas are handled at the local
                     government level, and what improvements could be achieved through the local. planning
                     and LDR process.

                  Overview of development of Coastal Nonpoint Source Control Plan
                  In Section 6217 of the 1990 amendments to the federal Coastal Zone Management Act,
                  EPA has identified 5 strategy areas that are priorities for controlling nonpoint sou rce
                  pollution. (Agriculture, Forestry, Urban, Recreational Boating/Marinas, and
                  Hydromodification Projects)


                  EPA and NOAA am both involved in approval of the state's plan prepared under Section
                  6217 requirements. Florida is already addressing many of the 6217 issues in Chapters 373
                  and 403, F.S., and, more specifically, the SWIM program. DEP is unclear on the extent to
                  which local govemments are incorporating measures to address EPA's objectives for
                  controlling nonpoint source pollution through Chapter 163, F.S., through local
                  governi-nent comprehensive plans and land development regulations. There is. a perception
                  of redundancy in policy and efforts among NEP, NPDES, and DEP.


                  How can 373 and 163 work together to meet the EPA objectives?
                  Comp Plans and LDR's need to address specific stonnwater issues.

                    FSU and FAU/F1U joint Center's research project
                    Purpose of the trip:

                       1) Introduction to the research project and what we are doing under the 6217 program.

                       2) How SV4FWMD deals with nonpoint source pollution, especially in EPA's 5
                          priority areas.

                       3) District staff was initially interested in how Manatee, MUsborough, and Palmetto
                          were chosen for this study and why Pinellas County and Tampa weren't included,
                          especially since they view Pinellas as a significant source of nonpoint source
                          pollution into Tampa Bay. The answer to this question relates to work done under a
                          previous project by FSU and the FAU/FHJ Joint Center that identified a limited
                          study area in Tampa Bay and the Indian River Lagoon based on the confluence of
                          plans developed for the SWIM, Aquatic Preserve, and local government
                          comprehensive planning programs. The present study represents an attempt to
                          examine a select group of local government comprehensive plans and land
                          development regulations in these 2 study areas for the purpose of evaluating the
                          extent to which they will be useful to DEP in preparing the state's plan for meeting
                          the 6217 federal program requirements.



                    Discussion of SWFWMD activities in general, including:
                    Tampa Bay SWIM and NEP projects.
                    Primarily through the SWIM program, SY;FWMD is working to establishpollution load
                    reduction goals (PLRGs) for Tampa Bay. Their goals are to integrate:

                       1) Ongoing efforts by the consulting firm of Coastal Environmental to quantify PLRGs
                          as part of the NEP (National Estuarine Program) effort;

                       2) a statistical analysis of pollution loads for Tampa Bay; and

                       3) modeling activities
                    These goals will be used to formulate an allocation strategy for pollution based on
                    geographic area (political subdivisions).


                    They will try to establish mathematical load reduction goals based on the constituent
                    pollutants. These goals will be used to formulate an allocation strategy for pollution based

                                                                                intergovernmental agreements to
                       on geographic area (political subdivision) and develop
                       implement their recommendations. They plan to establish both interim and final goals, with
                       the long-term objective of being able to define resource-based goals for reducing pollution
                       of Tampa Bay (what levels of pollution reduction are necessary in order to re-establish a
                       healthy scallop industry, etc.). [Note that nutrients are the key problem in Tampa Bay,
                       which is NOT the case in the Indian River Lagoon area, e.g. excessive freshwater inflows
                       into the St. Lucie estuary are a worse problem for the South Florida WTSM]


                       Scott Stevens of SWFWMD is on the statewide Conventions Committee for stormwater
                       management issues, one of seventeen such committees formed statewide to help the
                       districts in their water resource planning process that culminates in 1994. He was
                       recommended as the contact person at SWFWMD for any further questions about Tampa
                       Bay pollution load reduction initiatives.


                       Activities relating to SWIM programfor Twnpa Bay.
                       SYiFWMD's emphasis has been on retrofitting facilities such as local retention/detention
                       ponds, developing enhancements for stormwater treatment, and increasing vegetation in
                       littoral zones via planting programs. Most of their projects have been geared primarily
                       toward "dirt turning." Although SWFWMD is developing PLRGs first for Tampa Bay as
                       part of the SWIM program, they eventually will develop PLRGs for the rest of the district.
                       They are starting to work toward uniform conventions for creating a methodology for
                       doing this, and they are starting to work on PLRGs for Charlotte Harbor now (Gerald
                       Morrison is their contact). Until they set specific reduction goals for a water body, all
                       basins are presumed to have 80% of pollution removed by following "best management
                       practices" as required by the district's rules. They also are looking at innovative controls of
                       stormwater flows. For example, in an environmentally sensitive area adjacent to Cockroach
                       Bay, the district bought some land together with Hillsborough County's local land
                       acquisition program. They are now conducting a 3-year evaluation of their wet detention
                       rule to check pollution reduction efficiency and how well things actually work on a portion
                       of this property.



                       Discussion of SWFWMD review of local comprehensive plans
                       District staff has reviewed local comp plans and are currently reviewing plan amendments,
                       but they don't review land development regulations (LDRs) and don't have enough staff to
                       start doing this. They mainly evaluate comprehensive plans to determine what local

                      governments are doing in terms of pollution control. In their review and comment role on
                      local plans, SWFWMD acts as an advisory agency to DCA. Under the scheme of Chapter
                      163, SWFWMD has no authority to enforce or change the comprehensive plans they
                      review, they can only comment, although they have independent regulatory authority under
                      Chapter 373 on many water management issues. SY&-WMD also provides information to
                      local governments who wish to change their stormwater regulations. For example, on the
                      regulatory side, SWFWMD provides a manual with examples of good stormwater
                      management practices, suggesting that if the local government follows the examples, then
                      they are using Best Management Practices. In this role, they reco
                                                                                      . gnize the need to be
                      realistic in making comments, e.g., comments should be those that locals are likely or able
                      to implement. Local governments can not be expected to implement, incorporate into
                      LDR's, or enforce all district recommendations. Monitoring is underfunded.


                      Currently working on a Level Of Service standard for water quantity and quality, in a
                      matrix style, and there's a draft report available [ask Rand Fromm for a copy, he's doing
                      the staff work for Planning]. Local plans currently employ LOS standards for drainage and
                      stormwater that are only quantity oriented. The idea is not just to limit the amount of
                      stormwater runoff but to regulate the quality of the water that constitutes runoff.



                      Agricultural uses
                      General rule -you meet state water quality standards if you design according to
                      SY&-WMD's standards & criteria for BMPs, defined in rules that were adopted in 1984. If
                      your engineer follows these standards, you meet BMP's and the WMD will issue a permit
                      without additional consideration. [SY&'WMD criteria for BMP's are the same as those of
                      the state; the district does not set higher standards] So there's 2 sets of situations for all
                      land use and development activities in the district: pre- and post- 1984 rules.


                      SWWMD's permitting rules went into effect in 1984. If you are a pre-existing use (i.e., a
                      water user before 1984), you are not required to seek a permit. If a pre- 1984 water user
                      changes a crop or a particular practice dramatically changing their use of water, the new use
                      is not considered pre-existing and the individual landowner must apply for a use permit
                      through the district. After a permitted activity is built, you get an operating permit.


                      New agricultural uses must have detention on site and the detention plan must either be
                      designed by a professional engineer or must meet Soil Conservation Service (SCS)


                       Chapter 4 - WMD Meeting Sununaries                                             Page 137







                     standards. Ile permitting process for new (or changes to pre-existing) uses is: 1) you must
                     have an engineer conduct the design study, 2) there must be a plan to capture and treat
                     water runoff, 3) you must undergo plan submittal, review, completeness and a site visit.
                     Ile WMD then monitors through either water uses/consumption or through permit/activity.
                     changes. [All consumptive use permits (CUPs) are meterrd-the district pays for most of
                     it-so that's probably the best way to find out about crop changes and the need for a
                     pennit. Who is regulated? For consumptive use permits (water withdrawals), all well water
                     pipes over 6" diameter or users of over 100,000 gallons per day are required to be
                     permitted. The pen-nits are renewed every six to ten years.]


                     Also, their technica I people go out into field to inspect agricultural permit sites every one
                     and one half to 2 years. A PE has to certify continued functioning of S/W structures;
                     district staff have just started to do follow up inspections. Staff is limited- I person in the
                     district does agricultural permits and exemptions [actually, 1 agricultural engineer and I
                     environmental scientist]. The district requires as-built drawings for all structures permitted.
                     There was a comment about an audit that discusses some of the enforcement problems that
                     the district has had.



                     Discussion of initiatives in Hillsborough County.
                     Ileir comprehensive plan calls for a monitoring and control program for agricultural
                     operations, especially near water bodies. Problem: their stormwater management plan is
                     due by 1996, in the meantime they don't know where all structures are located in some
                     basins.
                     Hillsborough County is involved in retrofitting existing systems to ensure water quality;
                     they talk about doing a lot of retrofitting, including water quality projects, using money
                     derived from their stormwater utility (a funding convention to make landowners pay based
                     on the amount of their impervious surface, e.g. so much for a S/F residence etc.). Also, the
                     district has a cooperative basin program with local governments including Hillsborough
                     County to fund project work. Hillsborough County is getting aggressive regarding water
                     quality and stormwater, more so in nonpoint source reduction than the state requires; their
                     Environmental Protection Commission helps a lot, too (developers have to meet S/W
                     criteria, although the Commission doesn't issue a separate permit). 11illsborough County's
                     ELAPP (Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program) allows them to buy
                     land (Cockroach Bay for example), which is critical to successful retrofit projects. 'Me
                     county has a few monitoring programs.

                    Discussion of initiatives in Manatee County.
                    Little talk of retrofitting. No discussion of agriculture beyond BMP's, they simply follow
                    the BMPs of SWFWMD and the Soil Conservation Service (SCS). Manatee County's
                    Comprehensive plan is much more surface water/reservoir consumption based. Ilere has
                    been some work on special stormwater overlay districts with special regulations (relating to
                    SWFWMD initiatives). For example, Manatee County has adopted 2 zoning overlay
                    districts regarding Lake Manatee and --?-- that address nonpoint source management.
                    Manatee County also has created a stormwater utility.



                    Forestry
                    If the proposal meets the state's BMP's for silvaculture, SWFWMD will allow the project.
                    Apparently, exemptions are quite common for forestry use and agriculture. In the case of
                    an exemption, the YRs4D issues a letter stating "no permit required."



                    Urban

                    Some local governments will be able to address these nonpoint source issues but most local
                    governments depend on the district for nonpoint source pollution control. Generally, local
                    goverrunents are not exceeding district standards, although they are allowed to. Local
                    governments often make final building permits contingent on getting a SY&-WMD permit
                    or an exemption letter, although a district permit is not often requirrA SWTWMD doesn't
                    have enough staff to review local site plans. They once tried to do this with Hillsborough
                    County for several months, but it was too time-consuming for them to continue this
                    practice.


                    Most local governments are more interested in flood attenuation (some local ordinances say
                    that you can't exceed pre-development runoff volume) than water quality protection. Ile
                    WMD would rather have volume sensitive standards because these standards would lead
                    indirectly to better quality just because less volume is discharged.


                    The WMD would like to link the district with local governments in some meaningful way
                    with regard to water policy planning. In the big picture, the district needs to establish
                    PLRG numbers, then figure out how to work together with local governments to reduce
                    pollution loadings, including finding the money to do it and participating in cooperative
                    projects with local governments (regulations alone won't solve the problem). Local

                    governments today seem apprehensive abou     t NPDES and changes in state water policy.
                    They tend to hold back on cooperative  projects these days until they see what the new
                    mandates wiU be.


                    Ile overaH general impression of the WMD personnel attending the meeting was that some
                    local governments are ahead of the curve on non-point source pol.lution and some are
                    behind.


                    Some discussion was offered about SV&-WMD role in the DRI process. As the DRI
                    process is changing, the RPCs may get more involved as a forum for conflict resolution.
                    There are 4 RPC's within SWFWMD's jurisdiction. The district has one coordinator who
                    meets with other administrators around the area to put together comments for the RPC and
                    DCA. Their comments tend to be in 4 major areas: water supply, water quality, flood
                    protection, and natural systems. [NOTE: there's no surprise here, these are simply the 4
                    main categories for their district-wide resource planning effort, e.g. just a convenient way
                    to organize water management issues] Any DRI must meet stormwater standards that are
                    equal to those of the WMD. One of the problems with this is that some DRI developers
                    simply say that they'll meet district standards, and often don't go beyond that.


                    Often, strong comments made by the YVMD on a DRI are taken into account by the RPC
                    and DCA. However, sometimes it's hard for the district's planning staff to exceed the
                    requirements of their regulatory staff when commenting on DRIs and making suggestions
                    for avoiding water-related problems during the planning process. The WMD often provides
                    a list of potential alternatives to the Iocal government, especiaUy in the context of wetlands.
                    In fact, SV&-WMD's most common and critical recommendations deal with the need to be
                    more stringent in relation to wetlands protection. Cumulative impacts of development was
                    mentioned in passing as an additional problem.


                    For highway construction, often smaller cities or counties rely upon the state DOT to
                    provide for stormwater, since they can't afford to do otherwise. The local governments let
                    the runoff from their roads go into the DOT engineered systems. These systems must still
                    be permitted by SWFWMD. DOT usually takes into account a wider area when planning
                    the retention in these cases, and their standards seem stringent enough for the WMD.


                    Discussion of designs for urban runoff control. District staff advocates use of basin-wide
                    treatment alternatives, e.g. have 1 big system of large lakes or ponds which are monitored-


                     Chapter 4 - VV`MD Meeting Sununaries                                            Page 140








                      by the municipality to treat/maintain water quality. They think this is preferable to many
                      tiny treatment systems (for every 7-11 etc.) which are taken care of by individual
                      landowners. They feel that there is a need for a change of orientation, and they encourage
                      regi onal systems. Problem with this idea: how do you identify a specific polluter? Tracing a
                      pollution source in the small pond case would be easier from the standpoint of liability.
                      Actually, you probably need both; in theory, the NPDES pennitting system Will give some
                      control over small point source polluters who are messing up a regional facility

                                       .formation.
                      1) NPDES (national pollutant discharge elimination system) regulates piped pollution as
                      well as nonpoint source pollution; 2) there are 98 local governments within SWFWMD's
                      area; 3)SY;FWMD has a comp plan library in Brooksville that has all proposed and most
                      adopted local comp plans within the district; 4) they only received approximately 20% of
                      adopted plans initially, but adopted versions of local comp, plans are starting to come in
                      now with comp plan amendments; 5) local governments have been slow in actually
                      implementing SWFWMD recommendations.



                      Marinas

                      The WMD does not generally get involved in this area unless the     marina is fied into a large
                      subdivision development. Permitting for marinas is mostly done by DER The marina
                      usually ties into the existing municipal water system, so they don't need a consumptive use
                      permit. Generally there's a long review process required-DEP may take years to permit
                      new marinas, and it's hard to get their approval.


                      Hillsborough County has, by a special act of the legislature, a county Environmental
                      Protection Commission (EPC). Their EPC may review marinas, and their plan says that
                      they will develop a water quality monitoring program.



                      Hydromodification
                      The district has very little to do with this, e.g. they do not address issues relating to
                      shoreline structural modifications, and they deal with dams only very infrequently. The
                      only active example they could think of was a situation at Lake Grady, which is located
                      south of Brandon in Hfllsborough County; a dam kept failing (it was old, and was built
                      before the district's rules went into effect in 1984). Ile district tried to help by getting
                      [C@aptr 4 - "D Meeting Summaries                                                   Page 141








                      homeowners to take over maintenance responsibility, but its present status was unclear. A
                      dam at Lake Manatee is another dam under WMD authority, but it also was built prior to
                      1984.


                      The district permits the digging of channels, and the WMD is in charge of determining what
                      a jurisdictional wetland is. As a district, they're not into flood relief via structural alterations
                      anymore, as they were in the past. Staff gave a brief history of how SWFWMD started out
                      in 1961 as a flood control/drainage relief agency. At one time they were the local sponsor
                      of a big Corps of Engineers' flood control project called the 4 Rivers Basin project. Water
                      management philosophies have changed in Florida since then, and SWFWMD has
                      transitioned out of this area.



                      Assessment of local comprehensive plans and land development regulations
                      Are local governments doing what they should be doing in setting policies consistent with
                      the WMDs?


                      The WMD does not feel that there is any overt conflict between their agency and the local
                      governments in their district. Local comp plans are generally consistent with district
                      policies and rules, and it's in the best interest of a local government to be consistent or
                      stronger than the WMD because they usually have pressing local water/stormwater
                      problems. It also puts the onus of dealing with the VrMD on the developer.


                      As a result of the 1985 growth management legislation, in 1987 the district established a
                      program for local government assistance; they provide technical assistance to local
                      governments on floodplain management, lake management, and water conservation. The
                      WT-AD developed technical assistance documents to help governments write comprehensive
                      plans, and the district provides both formal and informal (e.g. before a formal review
                      cycle) review of the plan and plan amendments. They also have four Governmental Affairs
                      Coordinators (GACs) that serve as local government liaisons throughout the district (under
                      Ed Hogan). The GACs deal more with local elected officials, and they offer the first line of
                      coordination with local governments on cooperative projects. The GACs attempt to keep a
                      dialogue going between local governments and the district, and they also help local
                      governments comply with WMD mandates.

                     SWFWMD also has eight local basin boards, and there is a B   asin Planner assigned to each.
                     Each basin board has a cooperative funding program to help finance local projects,
                     including stormwater quality improvement projects and master planning. Each basin's
                     funding program is based upon the particular millage rate that is set for that basin. Wes
                     Wheeler oversees all basin plans and activities. SWF-WMD requires a 50% local match on
                     all jointly-funded basin specific plans.


                     Hillsborough stormwater program-there's a group of storTnwater staff in the planning
                     department, plus them are also people in Engineering Services who work on NPDES, and
                     the EPC deals with stormwater as well, e.g. local responsibilities for stormwater issues in
                     Hillsborough County are fragmented, in part due to the different functional responsibilities
                     involved, e.g., planning, permitting, facility design/construction/maintenance, etc. They
                     will send an organizational chart for the district.

                     11. Comp Plan could be one place to fie together local and WMD plan implementation.
                     12. It is not realistic for WIVID's to provide oversight authority for development of 1DR's
                         by local governments.

                       13.  The district is working on a uniform LOS for water quantity and quality in Comp Plan.
                       14.  SWFWMD has manual of BMP's.
                       15.  Agricultural- hard to monitor pesticides - permits issued at the front end.
                       16.  Permitting authority depends on the status of an activity as of 1984. Pre- 1984 users
                            considered pre-existing and are exempt from permitting requirements.
                       17.  Water usepermits are required for wells over 6 inches in diameter and over 100,000
                            gpd water withdrawals.
                       18.  Water use permits are issued only when consumption comes from surface or from
                            groundwater, not when tied into a city system.
                       19.  Agriculture is a primary area of emphasis for WMD because agricultural activities and
                            sites usually involve water being taken directly from aquifer.
                       20.  Apparently exemptions are quite common for forestry use and agriculture.
                       21.  Changing crops triggers change in water requirements, therefore a permit is required,
                            but hard to monitor otherwise--can use aerial photos.
                       22.  As-builts are required for all SW structures and modifications.
                       23.  Local governments are not exceeding standards, although they are allowed to. If the
                            applicant meets BMP standards, whether in agricultural activities, forestry or DRIs,
                            they are free to proceed.
                       24.  There has been little talk of the cumulative effects of many small projects that all meet
                            standards.
                       25.  Manatee County is not doing retrofitting, I-Ellsborough is.
                       26.  Both Hillsborough and Manatee counties have created stormwater utilities.
                       27.  SWFWMD reviews and comments on DRIs.
                       28.  The DOT systems that most local governments let their road runoff flow into must be
                            permitted by SWFWMD and are regarded as being of high quality.
                       29.  SWI@@ advocates regional retention of ston-nwater at the end of the line instead of
                            the construction of many small ponds.
                       30.  There are four RPC'.s within SWFWMD's jurisdiction.
                       31.  Marinas are reviewed by DEP, not SWFWMI@-long review process required-hard
                            to get approval.
                       32.  SWFWMD created a Technical Information Planning Series for local govemments in
                            the arm of:
                            - floodplain management
                            - lake management
                            - water conservation
                       33.  SWFWMD has Government Affairs Coordinators who are liaisons assigned to work
                            with local elected and appointed officials.
                       34.  There are eight basins in SWFWMD and there is a Basin Planner assigned to each.
                       35.  SWFWMD has a Cooperative Funding Program with local governments which
                            provides a 5001o match.
                       36.  The overall general impression of the WIVID personnel attending the meeting was that
                            some local governments are ahead of the curve on non-point source pollution and
                            some are behind.

                      Other Observations:

                      SWI7WMD staff expressed honest confusion about how our effort related to several
                      overlapping programs (NEP, NPDES, SWIM, DEP) and to their programs. This is
                      understandable.


                      The SWFWMD's level of intent was good and level of effort seemed high. Another strong
                      point is how they had organized themselves with liaisons for local governments and with
                      planners that address basin-level planning issues. It would be useful to review an
                      organization chart and an annual report of some kind.


                      It seemed very useful to establish numerical goals for pollution reduction and then allocate
                      pollution reductions among local governments. It also seemed like a good idea to set
                      resource-specific water quality goals. Several other points seemed to be their strong
                      pennitting authority and the presence of local storinwater utilities for financing needed
                      improvements.


                      The foregoing does not indicate bow effective SWFWMD is in accomplishing stormwater
                      managemenL This could come either from some sort of data collection, or from interviews
                      from others in the community. Perhaps we could gain some perspect        ive from interviews
                      with local government planners, farmers, foresters, and developers to improve our
                      perspective.


                      Overall, the weak links seem to be: 1) there is little or no direct connection between
                      SWFWMD programs and the Comp Plans/LDR's of member local governments, other than
                      the review process and their technical assistance program; and 2) the current regulation of
                      the five areas outlined in 6217 (g) is through a complex matrix of state, federal, local, and
                      special purpose agencies. Lines of accountability are unclear to people on the front lines.


                      It is tempting to conclude that item 1) of the preceding comment would be addressed
                      through a revision of 9J-5 and/or ICE to explicitly spell out the responsibility of local
                      governments to implement the appropriate 6217 (g) measures. Likewise, it seems like the
                      state and federal agencies will have to create an explicit division of labor and accountabili.ty
                      administering the 6217 program in a way that explicitly integrates this program with NEP,
                      SWIM, and NPDES. Without this, local governments could either give-up or become
                      hostile in their frustration.

                     1. 'Dave discussed the water management district's development of its strategic plan. This
                     plan will be part of the statewide water management planning process which focuses on 17
                     major issues. One of these issues is management of surface water quality. The most ,
                     difficult part of this issue is developing regulations for retrofitting older drainage systems.
                     Retrofitting will require more funding than is available. However, the district has been able
                     to provide matching funds for several retrofits with the Government Assistance Program.
                     This program has been used to fund both SWIM and non-SWIM projects. 'Me district
                     attempts to apply new construction standards and criteria to funded retrofit projects, but
                     sometimes the requirements exceed available funds. Tley try to construct the best Project
                     they can with funds available.


                     2. Jim presented an overview of the development of a Coastal Nonpoint Control Plan, in
                     compliance with Section 6217 and described Homer Hoyt and Joint Center's scope of
                     work.






                      Chapter 4 - WMD Meeting Summaries                                         Page 146








                     3. Agriculture Issues


                     These are driven by the SWIM plan. Chapter 17-40, FAC, requires that Pollution Load
                     Reduction Goals (PLRGS) be adopted for all SWIM plans,. In the Indian River Lagoon
                     (southem portion) study area, the district is currently developing PLRG aimed at
                     maintaining salinity and appropriate freshwater pulses from Lake Okeechobee discharged
                     into canals and eventually the lagoon. This will, hopefully, control sediment and nutrient
                     levels in lagoon. South Florida is the first district to define freshwater as a pollutant.
                     Cun-ently, the district's best fix on stormwater is through regulation of timing of discharges
                     and reasonable conveyance times.


                     Once the PLRGs are set, the district will need to institute BMPs for groves and farms that
                     drain into district canals. Most of these agricultural activities were operating and drainage
                     systems built before district rules took effect in late 1970s/early 1980s. Current permits are
                     not needed unless farmers want to make major changes to their drainage systems. Tle
                     adoption schedule for PLRGs must be set next year.


                     Our setting of PLRGs in St. Lucie River Estuary exceeds all similar efforts to date
                     throughout the state.


                     4. Forestry Issues


                     No forestry or silviculture activities occur in study area.


                     5. Urban Issues


                     The district does not regulate onsite sewage disposal systems, but they do have.impacts on
                     lagoon.


                     District issues pen-nits for dewatering on construction sites.


                     District regulates surface water discharges, point and n o*npoint. Chapter 17-40 requires that
                     80 percent of pollutants be treated; 95 percent of pollutants must be treated if discharging
                     into Outstanding Florida Waters. Tlis requirement does not receive adequate monitoring
                     and enforcement due to lack of staff and level of urban activity in South Florida region.
                     Until about one year ago, district approved permit for a new project if designing engineer


                     Chapter 4 - WMD Meeting Sununaries                                             Page 147








                       was certified. Monitoring was limited to flyovers. The district generally presumed that
                       BMPs were being carried out. Inspections are conducted by municipal officials but they
                       generally do not inspect for drainage/water quality. Tle district does not go on-site to
                       monitor land use practices. The landowner provides water quality monitoring information
                       to the district. Monitoring will improve once PLRGs are set.


                       District is currently analyzing data to compare on-site water quality with water quality in the
                       lagoon.


                       Most of the local comprehensive plans include policies to manage stormwater and adopt,
                       implement master plans. These plans initially only identified deficiencies in monitoring and
                       provided and inventory of facilities. The funding is not available to follow through on these
                       policies. The district is providing incentives to local govemments for cost-sharing. Only
                       one local government in the study area has declined to do so. These matching programs
                       will be our best handle on local retrofit problems.


                       Three problems exist with respect to local stormwater management plans. One, the local
                       governments are hesitant to create the funding source (i.e., stormwater utility) needed to
                       implement the plan. Two, the plans that have been drafted. resemble enhanced drainage
                       plans rather than water quality plans. Ile expertise in this area is limited to non-existent at
                       the local level. Three, no local goverment can meet the standards and criteria with retrofit
                       projects due to physical (and financial) limits. The district recognizes the limits with retrofit
                       projects and generally looks for increased permeability and improved groundwater
                       recharge.


                       Existing development presents the bigger problem. Seventy percent of the sub-basins
                       draining into the lagoon were developed prior to the adoption of stormwater regulations.
                       'Me district can regulate what's being discharged into district canals and structures, which
                       were designed for capacity, not biological targets. NPDES will ultimately drive local
                       retrofit and stormwater management Palm Beach County must apply for NPDES permit
                       and Martin and St. Lucie will have to apply eventually.


                       'Me district will use GIS to compare land uses and their contribution to water quality
                       degradation.

                     6. Marina and Recreational Boating Issues


                     The district issues permits for surface water for landside activities in marinas. There are no
                     publicly owned marinas in this area. Do not predict any new marinas in the area and will
                     concentrate on existing marinas. Experiencing water quality problems in Manatee Pocket

                           Work product 3.1     draft summary report




                    The following discussion describes the methodology employed to determine the number
                    of local comprehensive plan amendments that have been filed in the Tampa Bay and the
                    Indian River Lagoon study areas. The Department of Community Affairs maintains a
                    library of all local government comprehensive plans as well as all local plan amendments.
                    DCA records all changes in local government planning activities (e.g. amendments) on a
                    tracking sheet. This computer-generated. document is periodically updated. Ile tracking
                    sheet is a necessary first step in determining the amendment activity of a jurisdiction.

                    There are some problems with the tracking sheets that prevent them from being used as a
                    final source of data regarding amendment activity. Two primary problems involve time
                    lags and double counting. Time lags become a problem because the trac1cing sheets record
                    amendments as soon as they arrive at DCA. Often these amendments must go through a
                    series of reviews and, as a result, are unavailable in the library. Although not a hard and
                    fast rule, it seems as though there is a time lag of up to six months or more. A bigger
                    problem is double counting. Double counting results when an amendment comes in for
                    review at the end of a year. For example, an amendment arriving in December 1991 may
                    be recorded as amendment 91-1. Because it is not approved until 1992, it will also be
                    recorded as amendment 92- 1. Double counting on the DCA tracking sheets is a problem.

                    In order to eliminate the effects of the double counting, each individual amendment
                    submission must be reviewed. Amendments are housed in the DCA library and arranged
                    by local government jurisdiction, along with their respective comprehensive plans. Each
                    amendment submission is organized in two flex-folders and one legal-sized filefolder.

                      The legal-sized folder includes a chronological outline of the amendment history from
                      submission to final status. While this folder is useful in determining the nature of the
                      arnendment, it does not include much detail. One flex-folder contains the proposed
                      amendment and all, assorted maps and preliminary documentation. Another flex-folder
                      contains the text of the adopted amendment, the ORC report and other agencies input a's
                      well as the adopted local ordinance. The ORC report, the DCA staff memo summarizing
                      the amendment, and the actual local ordinance were used in the amendment review that
                      was conducted for this project.

                      It should be noted that what are recorded as amendments are in actuality amendment
                      packages. For example, amendment 92-1 for Manatee county includes 5 future land use
                      map amendments and 4 text amendments. Amendments can be divided into five general
                      categories including, 1) amendments (whether a map or a plan element) submitted in
                      order to bring a comprehensive plan into compliance, 2) land use map amendments, 3)
                      policy or text amendments, 4) small scale amendments and, 5) DRI's. The attached tables
                      show the number of amendment packages that were submitted to DCA from 1989 to the
                      present from the fourteen local governments in our two study areas. These fourteen
                      jurisdictions were selected from a previous research project and comprise the Tampa Bay
                      Study Area and the Indian River Lagoon Study Area for purposes of this project. This
                      chart helps assess the amount of activity/ land use change in these jurisdictions. The data
                      source used is the DCA tracking sheets. As mentioned previously, the tracking sheets list.
                      annual activity for all jurisdictions in the state. The sheets list the amendment code which
                      indicates the year in which the amendment "counts," as well as the type of amendment
                      (regular, small scale, DRI, or remedial). The data for 1990 and 1989 were listed together,
                      but it is possible to determine the year in which each amendments applied. Only after the
                      Spring of 1992 are remedial amendments indicated as such. As a result, amendments
                      occurring before this date may have been remedial amendments but were not accordingly
                      recorded on the tracking sheets. Finally, the 1993 data includes activity up until August,
                      1993. Special attention has been paid to eliminate the effects of double counting.

                      A preliminary review of stormwater-related amendments to the local comprehensive
                      plans involved in the two study areas of this project follows as the next sectio n of this
                      chapter. Amendments for the Tampa Bay study area and for the Indian River Lagoon
                      study area are presented separately. The chapter concludes with an outline that shows the
                      section headings found in the file folders used for comprehensive plan amendments at
                      DCA. This will afford the reader the opportunity to see how these files are organized,'as
                      well as a general idea of the materials that are included in them.

                      Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Tampa Bay Study Area




                      Hillsborough County

                      Seven amendments to the HiRsborough County Comprehensive Plan were reviewed with
                      respect to their relevance to nonpoint source pollution issues. Of those seven, three
                      appeared to be significant for further consideration in this study.

                      Amendments to the 11illsborough Comprehensive Plan include a stormwater retrofit
                      provision which extends the deadline to retrofit existing facilities from 1992 to 1993. The
                      county is trying to implement the EPA-mandated Clean Water Act's NPDES program for
                      stormwater facilities, and the revision is intended to allow full implementation by
                      providing time to complete the necessary work for compliance.

                      Proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan approved by the Planning Commission
                      (817/90) include changes to the stormwater management element that are intended
                      primarily to expand or clarify existing language. In addition, new definitions of three
                      terms have been proposed as a result of comments expressed by the Department of
                      Community Affairs during plan review.

                      Adopted amendments to the plan include changes to the Capital Improvements Program
                      that are related to stormwater management projects scheduled in the plan. These changes
                      would lead to.better implementation of stormwater projects for nonpoint source pollution.






                      Manatee County

                      The Manatee County Comprehensive Plan has had nineteen amendments approved.
                      Among these amendments is Ordinance 92-11, a map amendment, which includes adding
                      a corridor study area consisting of all water of Sarasota Bay bounded on the north by the
                      Cortez Bridge and on the south by the Manatee-Sarasota County line, to evaluate the
                      environmental, social, and future funding possibilities of an additional Sarasota Bay
                      crossing.

                   Also included in the amendments is Ordinance 92-40 which revises many of the
                   implementation mechanisms relating to the Conservation and the Coastal elements of the
                   plan. Policy 3.2.1.12 is amended to require that any existing agricultural and land
                   development activities within the WO-M and WO-E Overlay Districts which generate,
                   dispose, or store either hazardous waste or materials in excess of 220 lbs., or acutely
                   hazardous waste materials in excess of 2.2 lbs., for any month shall submit an Emergency
                   Response Plan which includes the location of any storage areas/structures to pennit
                   evaluation of the site for compliance with Policy 3.2. 1.11.

                   Amendments to the Coastal element include an amendment to the implementation
                   mechanism of policy 4.1.2.6 to state that the Environmental Action Commission of
                   Manatee County shall review dredge and fill applications for construction or widening of
                   artificial waterways for compliance with the Public Facilities element with regard to
                   specified drainage improvements. In amending the implementation mechanism of Policy
                   4.1.2.8, the Manatee County Planning, Permitting and Inspections Department, in
                   coordination with the Florida Department of Natural Resources and the Environmental
                   Action Commission of Manatee County, will review all proposed development
                   applications adjacent to the Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve. The implementation
                   mechanism of Policy 4.1.2.11 requires that the Environmental Action Commission of
                   Manatee County identify known water pollution sources within the Coastal Area and
                   require submittal of a water quality management plan which includes monitoring and
                   implementation provisions within six months of issued notice.

                   All other approved amendments to the comprehensive plan of Manatee County are land
                   use amendments or map amendments.

                         Comprehensive      plan Amendments: Indian River Lagoon Study Area




                         Town of Jupiter

                         In late 1990 the Town of Jupiter ï¿½ubmitted two proposed land use amendments
                         (Amendment 91-1) to DCA:

                         1. (Amendment #6 - MacArthur Foundation): Changing a 146 acre parcel from Palm Beach
                         County Residential (3-5 d.u./acre) to the Town of Jupiter Residential (5-8 d.u./acre) and
                         changing a 119.7 acre parcel from Palm Beach County Residential (3-5 d.u./acre) to the
                         Town of Jupiter Industrial (Hi-Tech). 'Me ORC Report included objections relating to the
                         protection of natural resources.

                         2. (Amendment #9 - Weizer): Changing a 228.4 acre parcel from Palm Beach County
                         Residential (1-3 d.u./acre) to the Town of Jupiter Industrial (Hi-Tech). The ORC Report
                         included objections relating to the protection of natural resources.

                         Relevant comments from a March 20,1991 memo regarding the Town's response to the
                         ORC report are:

                                Identified Problem
                                Amendments 6 and 9, which allow industrial uses in an area near or
                                adjacent to the C-18 Canal and the Loxahatchee Slough/River Corridor, are
                                not supported by an analysis which addressed the impacts of the industrial
                                uses proposed on these natural resources. In addition, the data and analysis
                                supporting the amendments do not demonstrate that they are consistent with
                                Objective 1.2 to maintain water quality in the Loxahatchee Slough/River
                                Corridor and Objective 1.4 to maintain current level of surface water
                                quality.

                                According to staff at the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, the
                                lands included in amendments 6 and 9 drain into the C-18 Canal and
                                possibly into the Loxahatchee River...

                                In addition, SFWMD states that amendment 9 is a concern to the District
                                due to the potential for adverse environmental impacts. The Loxahatchee
                                River/Slough Corridor is a designated "Save Our Rivers" project which is
                                designed to protect and manage the only federally designated "Wild and
                                Scenic River" in Florida. In a phone conversation with staff at SFWMD, the
                                District's staff objects to the industrial land use designations (amendments 6
                                and 9) because these amendments are adjacent to conservation and
                                environmentally sensitive areas...

                                 Recommended Corrective     Action
                                 Include an analysis of the impact of proposed land use designations on the
                                 area's natural resources. The analysis must include the impacts of
                                 stormwater run-off and pollutant loading to surface and groundwater based
                                 on the most intensive use allowable for the industrial land uses...


                         Status: based on a telephone conversation (1219193) with Martin Hodgekins, Director of
                         Planning, Town ofJupiter, the town will attenWt to enter into a stipulated agreement with
                         DCA in order to adopt this land use change. Part of the agreement will include
                         Conservation Element Policy changes that would ensure protection of the natural resources.




                         Amendment 92-1 (June 4,1992 memo to file):

                         In order to address the land use incompatibility issue above, the Town of Jupiter proposed
                         Conservation Element amendments:


                         2) A minimum 100-foot buffer along all portions of private property abutting the corridor,
                         and the requirement for an environmental assessment to accompany development
                         applications which will address issues of significance to the protection of the corridor (new
                         Policy 1.2.8).

                         5) The prohibition of fences, walls, and similar barriers from being installed within the

                                Amendment #CN-2, relating to Policy 1.4.3 in the Conservation Element
                                delays until 1993 the adoption and implementation of the Town's
                                Comprehensive Storrawater Management Ordinance. However,
                                s. 163.3202(l) and (2) (d), F.S., requires that the Town's land development
                                regulations address drainage and stormwater management, within one year
                                after submission of the plan to the Department for review.

                        Status: not adopted.


                        Martin County

                        Amendment 91-2 changes the land use for two parcels totaling 263 acres to allow for the
                        development of a privately -operated resource recovery and disposal facility and
                        construction debris landfill. The land is currently vacant and covered with high quality
                        native pine flatwoods and wetlands... Under the county plan, 75 of the acres are to be
                        designated as wetland preserve. Less that 100 acres of the site may be used for
                        development when considering wetland, upland and buffer preserve requirements of the
                        plan. The upland portions of the site provide moderate recharge to the surficial aquifer...
                        TheFDER     has indicated that the soils on the site have either poor or severe lin-dtations for
                        Class M landfills and for the cover of landfills. The county hydrologist has indicated that if
                        the site was developed as proposed, that the county would require a liner and separate
                        monitoring wells to ensure the protection of water resources. According to the data, these
                        are not normally required for Class IH materials.

                                Identified Problem
                                Within the context of reviewing the land use change to general institutional,
                                and the types of uses allowed in this category, (e.g. landfills) are
                                inappropriate due to the presence of extensive wetlands and upland
                                vegetation... The wetlands on this site are part of a larger County system
                                and therefore, from a land use perspective should not be considered in
                                isolation. The County is relying on the development agreement and the

                    St. Lucie County

                    In early 1990, St. Lucie County adopted a plan amendment (91 -01) to change the wording
                    of several policies related to urban sprawl and upland habitats. These amendments
                    implemented the stipulated settlement agreement between the,county and the Department of
                    Community Affairs (DCA) over its finding that the county's comprehensive plan as
                    adopted was not in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 163, Part H, Florida
                    Statutes. Ile upland habitat amendments made the plan consistent with the Twasure Coast
                    Regional Planning Council's policy that 215% of upland habitat be preserved. This may aid
                    in preventing surface water pollution by providing reduced impervious surface and runoff
                    as well as increased nutrient uptake.

                    In addition, St. Lucie County has proposed or adopted other amendments that relate to land
                    use designations, amendments 91-004, 92-1,92-S1, and 92-2. No adverse comments on

                        the potential for adverse environmental effects are contained in the reviews of those
                        amendments, though there were objections based on sprawl, infrastructure and coastal
                        policies.


                        City of Stuart

                        The City of Stuart apparently has initially adopted several comprehensive plan amendments
                        relating to land use designations. While objections were raised to at least one of the
                        amendments based on a failure to analyze infrastructure demands that would be created by
                        the amendment, the amendments do not appear to have the capacity to significantly affect
                        non-point discharges.


                        City of Ft. Pierce

                        The City of Fort Pierce has also adopted land use designation amendments. Again,
                        objections seem to be focused on a failure to analyze infrastructure issues rather than on
                        environmental issues including surface water quality.
