WATER QUALITY
2017 ANNUAL REPORT
Mr. Tim Hall, consultant with Turrell, Hall & Assoc., provided and reviewed the 2017
annual water quality report, prepared by Dr. David Tomasko. The following highlights were
discussed by the committee and consultants:
• 16 out of 98 samples exceeded the FDEP standard for copper. Dr. Tomasko's report
recommended exploring sources of copper in nearly ponds in Upper Clam Bay.
• 33 out of 98 samples exceeded the FDEP standard for phosphorus. Dr. Tomasko's report
recommended exploring seasonal changes in abundance of wading birds and their nesting
habits. Mr. Sterk will obtain monthly drone photos of the nesting birds in Upper Clam
Bay from March to May. Mr. Hall suggested that phosphorus samples may have been
adversely affected by Hurricane Irma, which may have stirred up sediment containing
phosphorus.
• 13 out of 98 samples exceeded the FDEP existing guidance criteria for dissolved oxygen.
By consensus, the committee agreed to continue with Tomasko water quality reports for the first
three quarters of 2018 and an annual report, and discontinue the 4th quarter report.
Mr. Hirniak motioned, Ms. O'Brien seconded that we recommend to the Water
Management Committee that they consider recommending that the CH2M Hill quarterly
reports be restarted. The motion carried unanimously.
SEDIMENT REPORT
Mr. Hall commented on his January 2018 Clam Bay Sediment & Surface Water Copper
Analysis Report, as provided in the agenda packet. After discussion, Ms. O'Brien recapped the
committee and consultant consensus of follow-up to include:
2
Pelican Bay Services Division Clam Bay Committee Meeting
March 8, 2018
• Obtain drone photos of nesting bird colonies in Upper Clam Bay which may be
contributing to high phosphorus levels.
• Continue with CH2M Hill water quality reports.
• Mr. Hall will prepare a proposal for selective sediment testing in Upper Clam Bay, in
order to determine whether high copper levels are basin 4 sourced.
• Mr. Sterk's sediment testing results from last year will be reviewed for comparison to
this year's results.
COPPER RESULTS FOR NOV. 2017
Ms. O'Brien commented that the November 2017 copper results looked good.
UPDATE ON WIN ENTRY
Ms. Jacob will contact the Collier County lab to determine when the lab expects to begin
WIN entry for Clam Bay data.
CLAM PASS
FEBRUARY TIDAL RATIO REPORT
Dr. Mohamed Dabees, consultant with Humiston & Moore, commented that the January
and February 2018 tidal ratios are below the critical threshold, which has triggered a bathymetric
survey to be completed.
TIMELINE FOR DREDGING-RELATED ACTIVITIES
Dr. Dabees commented on the potential for a Clam Pass dredging project within the next
few months and highlighted the following:
• The Clam Bay Management Plan protocols are being followed.
• A bathymetric survey of sections A, B, & C has been completed.
• The quantities of sand identified in the bathymetric survey will determine the need for a
dredging project; exceeding a specified sand threshold is required to justify a project.
• A decision to dredge will immediately be shared with Mr. Dorrill, the PBSD board, and
the County.
• A dredge decision will trigger a shore bird survey to be completed by Mr. Sterk and the
preparation of dredge construction plans to be completed by Dr. Dabees.
Ms. O'Brien requested that Dr. Dabees provide the PBSD board with a timely decision
update and the timing of when construction plans will be available for board approval.
CLAM BAY
UPDATE ON DEBRIS REMOVAL/HAND-DUG CHANNEL MAINTENANCE
Ms. Jacob commented that the PBSD is planning to determine from FEMA which areas
of Clam Bay, including the berm, hand-dug channels, and the waterways will be eligible for
FEMA reimbursement for debris removal. Based on this determination, the PBSD, with the
assistance of our FEMA consultant, will bid out the entire debris removal project. The debris
removal and maintenance of the hand-dug channels will be completed at the same time.
CANOE TRAIL MARKER 12
3
Pelican Bay Services Division Clam Bay Committee Meeting
March 8, 2018
Mr. Sterk commented that canoe trail marker 12 is on the County's list of markers to be
replaced.
BEE SITES
Mr. Sterk commented on having a bee expert on his staff, and asked whether the PBSD
would be interested in installing any bee boxes in Clam Bay, which would result in pollenating
the mangroves and providing an educational experience for residents. Ms. O'Brien suggested
this option be referred to the Pelican Bay Foundation.
BEACH RENOURISHMENT (ADD-ON)
Mr. Streckenbein commented on his 2/28/18 meeting with Mr. Gary McAlpin, Manager,
Coastal Zone Management. Highlights included, (1) the County has completed a beach profile
survey from Vanderbilt Beach to Clam Pass, (2) no Pelican Bay beaches are critically eroded, (3)
based on current conditions, no Pelican Bay beaches would qualify for the County's Jan. 2019
beach resiliency program, (4) Humiston & Moore could be tasked by the PBSD to estimate the
cost of a beach resiliency program (to match the County's program) for Pelican Bay beaches, and
(5) the PBSD has no permit for beach renourishment from markers 37-41, and we have the
opportunity for the County to obtain such a permit for us. At the suggestion of Ms. O'Brien, Mr.
Streckenbein will contact the PBF to weigh in on our proceeding with securing an appropriate
beach renourishment permit.
Dr. Dabees does not recommend adding sand to any beaches near the Clam Pass critical
inlet.
CLAM BAY FY19 EXPENSES
Ms. O'Brien provided a draft FY19 Clam Bay budget and requested that staff review the
draft and provide it to the Budget committee.
CLAM PASS PARK
PARKING GARAGE
Ms. O'Brien commented that the construction of a parking garage at the Clam Pass Park
parking lot is still under consideration by the County.
MEETING WITH SEAGATE REPRESENTATIVES
Ms. O'Brien suggested meeting annually with Seagate representatives to improve
communication and provide them with copies of our consultants' reports. Mr. Hirniak expressed
his ambivalence to this suggestion, and instead, suggested that the PBSD board weigh in on this
issue.
WATER MANAGEMENT AND CLAM BAY COMMITTEES
Mr. Streckenbein commented that he has considered merging the Clam Bay committee
and the Water Management committee into one. Ms. O'Brien suggested that the two committees
meet together, from time to time, when common concerns arise. She also suggested that the
PBSD board weigh in on this issue.
NEXT MEETING:

Cc; John Chandler
Susan,
Thank you so much for your email and consideration. While I have a deep appreciation for what Jeremy is suggesting,I think the reality for
our particular situation,is that we have restaurants and bars in such dose proximity to the mangrove forest,that this would be problematic.
Even now,without introducing addition bee communities,we battle the fact that bees are attracted to the residual by-products of our
operations. This currently creates problems/fears,for patrons. I don't think the Foundation would be supportive of this environmental
suggestion.
Sincerely,
Jim Hoppensteadt

Hi Jim,
At its last meeting the Clam Bay Committee discussed whether or not having bee boxes,as described in the attachment,in Clam Bay was a
viable idea and decided to ask the PBF for its thoughts on the topic.
I would appreciate your thoughts on the topic.
Thanks very much.

Definitions:
Mean Tide Ratio:ratio of tide amplitude of gages over the tide amplitude from the Gulf of Mexico,averaged over a month.This
ratio is representative of the pass's effectiveness in flushing water from the bay. The lower the ratio, the less efficient is
flushing,indicating material accumualting in the pass.
Mean Low Tide Laq: time difference between low tide in the Gulf of Mexico and at the gage's locations,averaged over a
month in minutes.The time lag is also represenattive of the pass's effectiveness in flushing water front the bay.The higher the
lag the less efficient is flushing,indicating material accumulating in the pass.
Background
Clam Pass is a small wave dominated inlet on the southwest coast of Florida that provides a tidal connection to 500 acres of the
wetland preserve of Clam Bay Natural Resource Protection Area(NRPA).This preserve includes several interconnected bays
surrounded by extensive areas of mangrove wetlands. The preserve is a pristine environmental resource that is collectively
known as Clam Bay.Clam Pass has gone through periods of inlet migration as well as closure,because the relatively small tidal
prism for Clam Bay provides critical balance between tidal energy and littoral process at the inlet channel.
Humiston& Moore Engineers provides professional engineering services to Pelican Bay Services Division of Collier County,
Florida for Clam Pass and Clam Bay. Humiston &Moore Engineers provided engineering services to assist Turrell Hall &
Associate in the development of the Clam Bay NRPA management plan of 1998 and the updated plan of 2014. The engineering
services included the development of design criteria for the inlet stability and conditions for maintenance dredging to maintain
hydraulic efficiency and avoid potential inlet closure including.The implementation of the NRPA management plan includes
various monitoring to maintain the health of the eco system.In addition to the ecological and biological monitoring of the bay
system and its function as a protected environmental resource, the monitoring program includes hydraulic and physical
monitoring of the inlet and bay system to monitor the stability of the pass and assess maintenance requirements.Monitoring of
the hydraulic and physical conditions of the Clam Bay system continues according to the updated NRPA management plan.
The hydraulic monitoring includes continuous water level and tidal data collection at 4 locations within the bay system.

Neil,in reading through this document I was struck by the language covering manatees-section 10.8 and especially 10.8.2
It says that Florida DEP requires that there be an idle speed and no wake restriction in the Clam Bay ecosystem as a condition of the perm'
I know this would beyour personal opinion and not a legal one,but does this mean that we already have standing under Florida law to post i. -
speed in Clam Bay?
The permit is a multi-year permit,under which this dredging is taking place. Is that correct?
What do you think?
Is there other language in the original permit that supports these same comments?

ANNUAL CLAM BAY WATER QUALITY MONITORING& REPORTING SPECIFICATIONS
Purpose:
The purpose of this request for service is to maintain water quality within the Clam Bay Natural Resource
Protection Area(NRPA) by analyzing laboratory data and evaluating compliance with referenced site
specific alternative nutrient criteria(SSAC)adopted by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)
and Florida Department of Environmental Protection(FDEP)as indicated in the Florida Administrative
Code 62-302.
Background:
The overarching goal of the Clam Bay NRPA Management Plan is to establish the basis for management
activities that will be undertaken to protect the health of the Clam Bay estuary.In October 2012,FDEP
classified Clam Bay"impaired for copper"and gave Pelican Bay 5 years to develop a plan to deal with
the problem. In August 2013,PBSD stopped using algaecides containing copper in its 45 storm water
lakes. Although water quality data shows that copper levels are declining,high copper levels remain a
concern.
Project Manager's Responsibilities:
• PBSD staff will collect water quality samples on a monthly basis at fifteen(15) sampling sites
located within the Clam Bay NRPA and deliver these samples to the Collier County Pollution
Control Laboratory
• Project manager will provide contractor with monthly laboratory data,field notes.and chain of
custody forms as they become available.
Scope of Services:
BASE BID—Provide pricing for task 1 in the compensation schedule below.The quote will be awarded
to the responsive quoter with the lowest line 1 total.
Task I—Clam Bay Water Quality Monitoring& Analysis (Lump Sum)

Riverview,FL 33578
Dear Mr.Hammond:
Thank you for your comments regarding the draft assessments for the Everglades West Coast basin. It is
important that we receive input from interested stakeholders to ensure accurate assessments of Florida's
waters. This letter is in response to your comment letters received via e-mail dated July 25 and 31,2012.
In the evaluation of these waterbodies,our assessment takes into consideration whether the results are
representative of the current conditions of the waterbody. Please keep in mind that the assessments you
commented on were conducted in June and all of the WaterBody IDentification assessment units
(WBIDs)identified in your letter will be reassessed using the most recent data available to produce
revised assessments. Your questions and/or comments are provided below,or excerpts when comments
included graphs and tables or were lengthy; with our response immediately following.
Cardno ENTRIX—Clam Bay Copper comment:The current dataset used to evaluate Clam Bay
for copper conforms to the requirements of the Impaired Waters Rule(62-303,F.A.C.);however the
existing data may not provide an accurate representation of current conditions with respect to copper
concentrations. Of the 12 exceedances observed in the samples,five have associated comments
stating that a small or moderate amount of particulate was observed in the sample. These comments
indicate that error may have occurred during sample collection. Since all of the exceedances were
observed in Middle and Upper Clam Bay,where flushing is lowest and potential re-suspension of
sediments is greatest,the potential for error during sample collection is also greatest.
The comments associated with the analysis state that the copper concentration was confirmed in the
undigested sample. While this may confirm that the preservative itself may not have contributed to
the copper concentration in the sample,it does not mean that sampler error didn't contribute to the
concentration. Since FDEP Standard Operating Protocols dictate the sample for copper be preserved
in the field with nitric acid,a proportion of particulate would be dissolved during preservation and
release copper into the water. Therefore,even in the undigested sample,the potential exists for
particulates in the bottle to result in an unrepresentative amount of copper observed during analysis.
Based on the comments associated with the copper analyses,it is appropriate to conduct further
sampling that include split field filtered and unfiltered samples to confirm observed copper
concentrations accurately reflect current conditions and are not associated with effects of sample
collection.

Aside from the potential issues with copper analysis,the Foundation and Collier County recognize
t tat t e major es water inputs to am :ay are associate. wit i stormwater .ise arge. an e ort
to identify the potential effect this discharge may have on Clam Bay,the Foundation and Collier
County are currently working together with Turrell,Hall&Associates,Inc.to develop a water
quality management action plan to identify potential water quality issues and implement solutions
where necessary. This plan includes tour distinct management efforts: 1)Mapping the flow of water
through the developed areas to Clam Bay;2)Soil analysis to improve fertilization techniques;3)
Water quality monitoring to identify sources of potential contaminants and document improvements
following action plan implementation;and 4)Landscape management through the creation of a
guidebook providing protocols for fertilizer,herbicide,and pesticide application.
This effort will allow for the identification of potential sources of copper to Clam Bay,provide and
implement source control solutions(if necessary)and monitor the effectiveness. Finalization of a
copper impairment in Clam Bay and development of a TMDL at this time may hinder or slow
current management plans designed to improve water quality in Clam Bay by diverting scarce water
resource management funds to a TMDL driven implementation plan from the current stakeholder,
locally driven water quality management effort.
In summary,the Pelican Bay Foundation,Collier County Coastal Zone Management Department
and Cardno ENTRIX request the Florida Department of Environmental Protection(FDEP)allow
Clam Bay(WBID 3278Q1)to remain on the Planning List for copper during this cycle and allow
the affected stakeholders to implement the currently developed management action plan. Leaving
Clam Bay on the Planning List for copper would allow the affected stakeholders to work with
FDEP to implement a robust sampling plan to identify if the perceived impairment is representative
of actual conditions in Clam Bay or the result of sample collection efforts. In addition,stakeholders
will implement the management action plan,identify if copper is an issue in stormwater runoff,
propose and implement solutions(where necessary)and monitor the improvement to Clam Bay. If
an actual copper impairment exists in Clam Bay,the implementation of the management plan will
document improvement and allow the locally affected stakeholders to continue cost effective water
quality management and oversight of this key southwest Florida water resource.
FDEP Response-Clam Bay Copper: Clam Bay(WBID 3278Q1)is impaired for copper based on
'meeting the requirements of the Impaired Waters Rule(IWR rule:62-303,F.A.C.)with 12
exceedances/25 samples during the cycle 3 verified period(January 1,2005—June 30,2012). As you
state in your comment,of the 12 exceedances observed in the samples,five had comments stating a
small or moderate amount of particulate was observed in the sample. This comment was provided to
indicate that during the lab analysis particulates were observed in the samples;however,undigested
samples were analyzed and those results confirmed that copper was in fact dissolved in the water.
The relative percent difference between the undigested and digested results was less than 20%. Even
if these 4 samples were excluded from the assessment,Clam Bay would still be identified as impaired
for Copper based on 7 exceedances/20 samples. The seven other copper exceedanees(with similar
results and no particulate matter observed in the samples)were well above the 3.7 pg/L threshold
indicating a copper impairment for Clam Bay.
A water quality management action plan designed to address stormwater discharges and other
potential sources of copper(including marinas and algaecide applications)could be used as the basis
for placing the waterbody in category 4e(hnpaired,but recently completed or on-going restoration
activities are underway to restore the designated uses of the waterbody)or even Category 4b
(reasonable assurance). However,we need detailed documentation,and it seems highly unlikely that
Agenda item#7c

a plan could be completed before the scheduled adoption of the Group I lists in December or January.
Based on meeting the verification requirements of the IWR,we plan to place Clam Bay on the Group
1 Cycle 3 Everglades West Coast verified list for copper with a medium TMDL priority(5-10 years
for TMDL development). A medium priority for TMDL development will give stakeholders time to
develop a water quality management action plan that could potentially lead to the removal of Clam
Bay from the Verified list. FDEP requests that,once the water quality management action plan is
completed by stakeholders,it be provided to the Department for review and documentation of how
copper will be addressed in Clam Bay. FDEP has provided on the enclosed disk an example of the
support documentation used for placing Clam Bayou in category 4e(Ongoing Restoration Activit;--s),
and general guidance on reasonable assurance(category 4b).
Cardno ENTR1X—Clam Bay Dissolved Oxygen comment:
FDEP has proposed to list Clam Bay(WBID 3278Q1)as a category 4d impairment for DO as part of
the Group 1 Cycle 3 TMDL assessment. Category 4d listings are submitted to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA)and added to Florida's 303(d)list of impaired waters.
This listing would indicate Clam Bay is impaired for DO,but no causative pollutant could be
identified,and target the waterbody for further evaluation to identify a causative pollutant so a TMDL
could be developed. However,data and analysis provided here suggests that a category 4d listing is
not appropriate for Clam Bay. A more accurate category would be 4c,which would recognize that
Clam Bay does not meet the current DO criteria as a result of natural conditions,and not caused by a
pollutant,therefore eliminating the need for a TMDL.
FDEP has concluded that Estero Bay WBID 3258A represents natural conditions with minimal
anthropogenic influence and is an adequate reference waterbody(FDEP 2008). The data
provided in this Technical Memorandum indicate Clam Bay exhibits a statistically similar DO
regime to this reference estuary segment,therefore concluding Clam Bay DO also represents a
natural condition. FDEP does not intend to list marine systems with naturally low DO as
impaired and acknowledges that natural estuaries in areas surrounded by mangrove forests or tidal
marshes(of which Clam Bay is an example)are especially subject to low DO(FDEP 2012b and
Iiendrickson et al 2003).
Furthermore, biological evidence suggests Clam Bay functions as a healthy estuary. The
diversity of invertebrates recorded in the estuary, and the presence of indicator and oxygen
sensitive species indicate that the DO regime in Clam Bay is supporting a healthy biological
community.
Based on the data and analysis provided here,a category 4c listing for Clam Bay provides a
mom appropriate water resource management goal than the proposed category 4d listing. The
Pelican Bay Foundation,Collier County Coastal Zone Management Department and Cardno
ENTRIX respectfully request FDEP change the proposed listing for Clam Bay(WBID
3278Q1)from a category 4d to a 4c listing. Upon finalization of the revised DO criteria for
marine waters,it will be appropriate for Clam Bay to be removed from the 4c category for DO
with the determination that the DO regime in Clam Bay meets the revised DO criteria.
FDEP—Clam Bay Dissolved Oxygen response: The Department has reviewed the Clam Bay
dissolved oxygen technical memorandum prepared by Cardno Entrix and based on the demonstration
that Clam Bay supports a healthy biological community and has a similar DO regime to the reference

waterbody Estero Bay(WBID 3258A1)we have determined that 4c is the appropriate assessment
category.
Ttie Department appreciates Cardno ENTRIX taking the time to submit comments on the draft lists for
the Group 1 basin. Your input helps the Department in producing better assessments. If you have
additional questions about our response or the assessments,please contact the Environmental Manager for
the basin,David Tyler (850)-245-8458Dr,‘id.l viint4/_ ,..-,.>t:te.il.irs. or me:(850)-245-8416,
