Hi Dave,
And Happy New Year to you as well. Hear is a partial listing and our experience with several
plants on Sarasota County's list. I have asked my resource for the complete listing, as I couldn't
fmd it on the Sarasota County web site.
Listed in order of preference/success:
#1. Arrowhead. Sagittaria lancifolia. Has nice white flowers,hardy, and self seeds. 2-3 feet tall.
#2. Pickerelweed.Pontederia cordata. Has nice purple flowers, hardy, and slowly expands. 2-3
feet tall.
#3. Spike Rush and jointed rush. Rush fuirena. Brown spikelets,hardy, 2 feet tall. There are 5
different fuirena in Florida.
These three are our currently preferred species, as they are hardy, not too tall, and provide soifie
color. We are planting these on our littoral shelves and along our shoreline to reduce erosion. We
have found success in planting like species in tight groupings of 20-25 plants. This minimizes
tilapia damage, and allows plants to get established. Best luck planting in spring at start of
growing season. One footnote: The supplier stock can vary quite a bit in quality depending on
when and how they harvested the plants. Some "floaters" will appear after planting, so need to
have follow-up visits included in pricing to replant the floaters. 1 year guarantee is good as well.
In round numbers about$1.00-1.25/plant planted.
#4. Validus rush. Scirpus validus. A medium height bull rush, about 5 feet tall. Used sparingly
due to height, but adds variety.
#5. Golden Canna. Canna flaccida. Has nice yellow flowers,hardy, and self seeds. 2-3 feet tall.
This plant grows best at the transition from wet to dry. We have some test plots, and this shows
promise for future plantings.
#6. Californicus rush. Schoenoplectus Californicus. A tall rush, can grow 8 to 10 feet high, but
very hardy in dry soil areas. We plant this where a screening is desired, or other areas where
home owner views will not be impaired.
#7. Smartweed. Polygonum hirsutum. We have removed this plant as it dies back in winter and
is an ugly black/brown color while the snow birds are here. But it grows quickly providing
almost instant coverage. Unfortunately it will also spread across open water, so it does not stay
on the littoral shelf areas, and we have had to have people bring in boats to cut this back to the
shelf area.
More info as I get it. We have a meeting with our pond maintenance people tomorrow to review
the "limited spray" program that we started in 2014 on 21 of our 67 ponds. We want
native species to be nurtured,while spraying for invasive plants and grasses. A balancing act that
we are trying to manage. We are expanding to 27 ponds for 2015. Still trying to educate home
owners that perimeter aquatic plants are "good" as they prevent erosion, and attract shore birds.
Change is a tough sell.

Proposed Agenda Item
I request that the following be made an agenda item for our forthcoming Water
Management Committee meeting:
Prepare an RFP for consulting services to assist the Board with water quality matters in
the upland lakes and Clam Bay.
It has been suggested that we are not yet prepared to outline a scope of work. I do not
agree with that in light of the work we have already done monitoring the dissolved
copper and nutrients in the lakes and Clam Bay, and our understanding of the problems
as outlined in Chairman Trecher's presentation; 20141210_wm_presentation.pptx
PBSD,
Suggested Scope of Work
This may require one or more consultants as has been the case for managing other
aspects of the Clam Bay NRPA and may be accomplished in stages, if/as advised by the
consultants, and would ultimately led to the plan to be submitted to the FDEP.
Consultant(s)to advise PBSD with regard to three, related we believe, issues:
1. how to address the copper impairment in Clam Bay
a. verify the sources
b. prevent further impairment
c. reduce the level of impairment to acceptable levels
2. if/how upland lakes contribute to the copper impairment in Clam Bay and how
to prevent further impairment
a. determine the likely trend in the equilibrium level of dissolved copper in
the lakes
b. determine the relation between the level of dissolved copper in the lakes
and that in Clam Bay
3. the best alternative(s)to copper-based algaecides for preventing algae build up
in the upland lakes
a. appropriate means; aeration, littoral plantings, bacteria, others?
b. criteria for deployment

Lisa - Please forward the following as a one-way message to the directors and
Neil. Thanks, Dave
The board has expressed interest in locating an expert to oversee/coordinate
water-quality programs in the upland lakes and Clam Bay. The rationale is that
the programs are complex, interrelated and would benefit at this time from
management by a true expert. Among the issues are copper monitoring and, perhaps,
remediation; water quality in Clam Bay vs FDEP guidelines; non-copper-based
algae/duckweed control in the lakes. I have been involved in these programs for
some time and, along with others, have interacted with a number of possible
candidates for such a job. I recently spoke by phone with three of them.
Dr. David Tomasko (ESA/Water) has consulted extensively with Collier County and
the P8 Foundation and was instrumental in drafting FDEP nutrient standards for
Clam Bay. He is will known and respected and has broad knowledge about Clam Bay
and its water-quality status. He is very well plugged into the FDEP. He would be
interested in a management/oversight role.
Jim Bays (CH2M Hill) has an N.S. in Environmental Engineering and has consulted
with us on a number of occasions. He is an expert on both freshwater lakes and
brackish-water estuaries and knows our issues well. He too would be interested in
such a consulting position.
Steve Gong (retired, formerly with CH2M Hill) has an M.S. in Marine Ecology. He
previously coordinated our lake sampling, analysis and reporting and, as such,
knows our situation well. He has had extensive experience dealing with the FDEP.
He indicated he might be interested in a management/oversight role.
Dr. Serge Thomas (FGCU) is the fourth candidate. He is a true expert on water-
quality problems in lakes and estuaries. I have not spoken with him because of
his constraints as an academic.
I have some idea of costs and can review these with the WM and CB Committees .
The take-home message is that there are people out there who could coordinate and
manage our water-quality programs.

Mr.Trecker,
I am continuing to work on the information we discussed. I have included the 3 year history of
irrigation water usage in Pelican Bay, and customer usage obtained from the billing system. The revised
irrigation ordinance, requiring restrictions on reclaimed water usage will go to the Board of County
Commissioners(BCC) in February for approval. The ordinance, in conjunction with the BCC approved
rate increases, should play a key role in reducing overwatering within Pelican Bay. As we discussed,
overwatering causes runoff and may contribute to increased nutrient levels within lakes.
