of the Environmental Services Division
January, 1989
Amended February, 1991
RE-PRINTED FEBRUARY, 1991
GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
GOAL 1: PROVIDE DRAINAGE AND FLOOD PROTECTION FOR EXISTING AND
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, MINIMIZE THE DEGRADATION OF QUALITY
OF RECEIVING WATERS AND SURROUNDING NATURAL AREAS AND
PROTECT THE FUNCTIONS OF NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER
RECHARGE AREAS.
OBJECTIVE 1.1:
Prepare by July 1, 1989, a detailed Water Management Master Plan to
identify the existing watershed basin boundaries within Collier
County, evaluate the design storm capacity of the drainage
facilities within each basin, and determine the costs necessary to
increase the facility capacities to selected design storm
standards.
Policy 1. 1. 1:
Outline how to ensure that existing natural systems, existing
developments, and proposed developments will receive beneficial
consideration from proposed water management procedures and
projects.
Policy 1.1.2:
Outline how to implement procedures and projects to ensure that at
the time a development permit is issued, adequate water management
facility capacity is available or will be available when needed to
serve the development.
Policy 1. 1.3:
Develop public drainage facilities to maintain the groundwater
table as a source of recharge for the potable water aquifers and
meet the water needs for agricultural and commercial operations and
native vegetation.
Policy 1. 1. 4:
Projected demands for the period 1994 through 1999 will be
addressed in the proposed Water Management Master Plan.
Policy 1. 1.5:
The Water Management Master Plan will evaluate the feasibility of
restoring surface water flow into historical flow-ways and
utilizing them to help control discharge into the estuaries.
D-I-19
OBJECTIVE 1.2:
Adopt drainage level of service standards for basins and sub-basins ('
identified in the Water Management Master Plan.
* Policy 1.2. 1:
By April 30, 1989, the County will utilize the findings of the
completed portions of the Water Management Master Plan to identify
existing levels of service for all the drainage basins and
sub-basins. (Completed in May, 1990) .
* Policy 1.2.2 :
The following levels of service for drainage are hereby adopted for
the purpose of issuing development permits:
A. Future "private" developments - water quantity and
quality standards as specified in Collier County
Ordinances 74-50 and 90-10.
B. Existing "private" developments and existing or future
public drainage facilities - those existing Levels of
Service identified (by design storm return frequency
event) by the completed portions of the Water Management
Master Plan as follows:

Policy 1.2.3:
Enlarge the scope of the Water Management Master Plan to include
recommendations for changing Levels of Service together with
analysis of capital requirements.
D-I-2.1
OBJECTIVE 1.3:
Beginning with fiscal year 1988-89, a five year schedule of capital
improvement needs for water management facilities will be
maintained and updated annually in conformance with the review
process for the Capital Improvement Element of this plan.
Policy 1.3.1:
Develop procedures to update water management facility demand and
capacity information.
Policy 1.3.2:
Prepare periodic summaries of capacity and demand information for
each water management facility and service area.
Policy 1.3.3:
Water management capital improvement projects will be evaluated and
ranked according to the priorities stated in the Capital
Improvement Element of this plan.
Policy 1.3.4:
Major emphasis shall be given to improving existing drainage
facilities in and around urban and estates designated areas (on the
adopted Future Land Use Map) to maintain their use.
D-I-22
OBJECTIVE 1.4:
Beginning with fiscal year 1988-89, develop policies and programs
to correct existing deficiencies and provide for future facility
needs for those projects which may be outlined in the proposed
Water Management Master Plan and individual basin studies.
Policy 1.4.1:
Water management projects shall be undertaken in accordance with
the schedule provided in the Capital Improvements Element of this
plan.

natural drainage features and natural groundwater aquifer recharge
areas through the development of land development regulations by
the time mandated for the adoption of land development regulations
pursuant to Chapter 163 .3202 , F.S. , including any amendments
thereto.
