Agenda 06/11/2013 Item #16A 66/11/2013 16.A.6.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to accept a donation including but not limited to water quality test reports,
aquatic plants and floating interlocking mats from the Water Symposium of Florida to
investigate water quality in Collier County stormwater detention ponds at an estimated
value of $2,000.
OBJECTIVE: A recommendation that Collier County accept a donation including but not
limited to water quality test reports, aquatic plants and floating interlocking mats from the Water
Symposium of Florida to investigate non - chemical means of treatments in Collier County
stormwater detention ponds in an estimated value of $2,000.
CONSIDERATION: The Water Symposium of Florida, a Florida non - profit corporation
whose mission in part includes the promotion of water conservation, in cooperation with the
Natural Resources Department and the Road Maintenance Department will investigate non-
chemical means of treatment to improve water quality in transportation storm water detention
ponds.
The Water Symposium is offering to provide to the County water quality test reports, aquatic
plants (including their installation) and floating interlocking mats. The floating planted mats
simulate a shallow water environment and fluctuate with water levels. The aquatic plants take
nutrients out of the water and provides habitat for wildlife utilization. This method of
bioremediation is anticipated to control nutrients and eliminate the need for copper- sulfate which
is commonly used for algae control.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the county participating in this project. The
estimated value of the Water Symposium's donation of goods and services is $2,000.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed as to form and legality, and
requires majority vote for Board approval. —SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with the Collier County
Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board accepts the Water Symposium of Florida's donation of
water quality test reports, aquatic plants and floating interlocking mats, in an estimated amount
of $2,000.00, to investigate non - chemical means of treatments in Collier County stormwater
detention ponds to improve water quality.
