OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY MEMORANDUM TO: Anthony P. Pires,Jr., Esq.,Chairman Coastal Advisory Committee Clam Bay Subcommittee FROM: Colleen M. Greene, Assistant County Attome DATE: March 18, 2010 RE: Sunshine Law and Agenda question The issue presented is whether the Sunshine Law requires that an agenda be made available prior to board meetings. In summary,the answer is no. The Sunshine Law Manual(2009 Ed. Vol. 31)provides the following: The Attorney General's Office recommends publication of an agenda, if available, in the notice of the meeting;. if an agenda is not available, subject matter summations might be used. However, the courts have held that the Sunshine Law does not mandate that an agency provide notice of each item to be discussed via a published agenda. Such a specific requirement has been rejected because it could effectively preclude access to meetings by members of the general public who wish to bring specific issues before a governmental body. See Hough v. Stembridge, 278 So. 2d 288 (Fla. 3d DCA 1973). And see Yarbrough v. Young, 462 So. 2d 515 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985) (posted agenda unnecessary; public body not required to postpone meeting due to inaccurate press report which was not part of the public body's official notice efforts). Thus, the Sunshine Law has been interpreted to require notice of meetings, not of the individual items which may be considered at that meeting. However, other statutes, codes or ordinances may impose such a requirement and agencies subject to those provisions must follow them. Accordingly, the Sunshine Law does not require boards to consider only those matters on a published agenda. "[W]hether to impose a requirement that restricts every relevant commission or board from considering matters not on an agenda is a policy decision to be made by the legislature." Law and Information Services, Inc. v. City of Riviera Beach, 670 So. 2d 1014, 1016 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996). Today's Coastal Advisory Committee Clam Bay Subcommittee was properly noticed in compliance with the Sunshine Law on or about February 1, 2010. Further, the agenda for today's meeting was also publically noticed on the County's website on Monday, March 15, 2010. The related back-up materials for the agenda were supplemented and available on the County's website on Wednesday, March 17, 2010. In addition, a number of these materials also appeared on the agenda for the Coastal Advisory Committee meeting on Thursday, March 11, 2010. In my opinion, there is no violation of the Sunshine Law and no legal issue regarding the date the agenda was published. cc: Gary McAlpin,Director, Coastal Zone Management TO: CAC Board Members FROM: Gail Hambright, Accountant DATE: December 1, 2011 SUBJECT: 2012 CAC Scheduled Meetings Please mark your calendar for the following 2011 CAC scheduled meeting dates: January 12, 2012 February 9, 2012 March 8, 2012 April 12, 2012 May 10, 2012 June 14, 2012 July 12, 2012 August 9, 2012 September 13, 2012 October 11, 2012 November 8, 2012 December 13, 2012 All meetings will be held in the Board of County Commissioner's chambers, third floor, Collier County Government Center, 3299 Tamiami Trail East, Naples, unless otherwise noted.

William Moss, City Manager DEC 10 201t City of Naples 735 Eighth Street South Napless, FL 34102 Mr. Gary McAlpin, Director Coastal Zone Management, Collier County 3050 North Horseshoe Drive, Suite 218 Naples, FL 34104 Re: Naples Beach Joint coastal Permit No. 0222355- 001 -JC Storm water Outfail pipes condition Gentlemen, The Department, Collier County and the City of Naples all share a desire to provide the best possible beachfront along the City of Naples' Gulf of Mexico coastline. A condition was included in the referenced County's beach nourishment permit that spoke to the City's storm water outfall pipes: The County shalt submit a long -range management plan (including an Identification of viable funding sources) for the removal of storm water outfalls from the beach. Submittal of an acceptable plan will be a requirement of the Notice to Proceed for the second nourishment ". City, County and Department staff have worked together to develop a long term plan based on engineering studies released late last year. The result of these efforts was to develop a mechanism (City Ordinance) to de- couple the City's Storm water plan from the County's nourishment permit. The Department has been provided a draft of proposed City Ordinance entitled: A RESOL11 ' ON AMENDING TIRE.`. CITY OF NAPLES S'l ORMWATER MASTER PLAN TO SATISFY THE PERMIT CONDITION OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION JOINT COASTAL PERMIT NO. 0222355-0014C REQUIRING THE REMOVAL OF THE CITY'S STORMWATER'BEACH OUTFALLS AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE,, attached. We have reviewed the language of the Ordinance and have determined that it in conjunction with ongoing storm water treatment efforts by the City will satisfy the storm water outfall condition of the referenced permit. While the Ordinance does not specifically identify a funding source nor include a specific plan for the removal the outfalls per the `condition verbiage, it does commit the City to continue its development of solutions or series of solutions for storm -water management. This approach is appropriate for the built out narrow peninsular watershed in which stoma water has historically been directed to either Maples Bay or the Gulfof`Mexico. wvua�r dep.state./`? to CAC January 12, 2012 VII -3 Staff Reports 2of4 `Mr. William A. Moss Mr. Gary McAlpin j December 21, 2011 I Page 2 i The City has had a strong history of developing storm water infrastructure projects. These projects include an Aquifer Storage and Recovery program and recent infrastructure to capture and treat storm water entering Naples Bay from inland watersheds, creating significant water quality enhancements to the environment. The City has also worked cooperatively with the Department to combine and contract public interest revenues from development projects to create new storm water treatment areas. This history of continued improvements and creative funding approaches, together with the adoption of the draft Ordinance will provide reasonable assurance that the storm water outfall condition of the referenced permit is satisfied.

PASSED IN OPEN AND REGULAR SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF TgE CITY OF MAPLES, FLORIDA, THIS Bill Barnett, Mayor Attest Approved as to form and legality: Tara A. Norman, City Clerk Robert D. Pritt, City Attorney Tate filed with City Clerk: CAC January 12, 2012 VII -4 Staff Reports 1 of 10 RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ( "DEP ") Consolidated Joint Coastal Permit, Sovereign Submerged Lands Authorization and Variance No. 0128463- 001 -JC (Previously 113049919) (the "1998 DEP Permit ") authorized the Pelican Bay Municipal Services and Benefit Taxing Unit known as the Pelican Bay Services Division (the "PBSD ") as permittee to implement the Clam Bay Restoration and Management Plan (the "Plan "); WHEREAS, the 1998 DEP Permit and the Plan were designed to deal with the environmental degradation of Clam Bay that was occurring in 1998, and were not designed to change the navigational characteristics of Clam Bay; WHEREAS, there is nothing in the 1998 DEP Permit specifically dealing with the installation of markers within Clam Bay, and, in fact, a careful review of the 1998 DEP Permit and all of the supporting findings of facts clearly indicates that the 1998 DEP Permit required only the following markers in all of Clam Bay: Section 3(h) (page 9/21 of the 1998 DEP Permit): "Permanent manatee informational signs, such as those shown in the enclosed example sheets, shall be installed and maintained at the canoe boat ramp at the southern end of Outer Clam Bay following completion of the initial dredging event." Section 5 (page 9/21 of the 1998 DEP Permit): "The Clam Bay ecosystem contains waterways that are difficult to navigate due to shallow water depths and meandering channels lined with protruding mangroves branches and roots. To protect the significant natural resources and water quality of the Clam Bay ecosystem, and to provide protection to the public safety (boaters utilizing these waters), there shall be an idle speed/no wake restriction on motorized vessels used in the system (as stipulated in County Ordinance No. 96 -16). The existing restrictions placed upon boating activities within the Clam Bay system by County Ordinance No. 96 -16 shall remain active and enforceable for the life of this permit. Additionally, two Florida Marine Patrol approved signs that state: "Idle Speed -No Wake" and "Caution- Shallow Water and Natural Resources Present - Tilt Motor Up to Prevent Prop Dredge- Damage to Natural Resources Subject to Fines, Pursuant to Chapter 370, F.S." shall be placed at the following locations following completion of the initial dredging event: 1) One within the entrance to Clam Pass facing boaters entering the bays; 2) One at the entrance to Outer Clam Bay facing north and easily legible to boaters entering Outer Clam Bay; 3) One at the entrance to Inner Clam Bay facing south and easily legible to boaters entering Inner Clam Bay; 4) One at the entrance to upper Clam Bay facing south and easily legible to boaters entering Upper Clam Bay; and, CAC January 12, 2012 VII -4 Staff Reports 2of10 5) One within the upper reaches of Outer Clam Bay facing southeast and easily legible to boaters leaving Seagate." WHEREAS, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (the "Corps ") also issued a permit at the same time as the 1998 DEP Permit (the "1998 Corps Permit "). The Corps' Findings of Fact with respect to the 1998 Corps Permit also made it clear that the 1998 Corps Permit also did not contemplate any changes in navigation in Clam Bay. In its evaluation of recreation considerations under the Public Interest Section of its findings of Fact (Section 9.a (13), page 22/28), the Corps stated: "(13) Recreation: The proposed Plan will not change the current recreational use of the Bay, however, the Plan does contain a Recreational Component that will address appropriate notification, signage, and policing of the Bay." In its evaluation of navigation considerations under the same Public Interest Section of its Findings of Fact (Section 9.a (11), page 22/28), the Corps stated: (11) Navigation (33CFR320.4(o)): .... The original Plan sought to restrict the use of motorized boats within the bay, but public outcry for historic riparian rights for access to the bay caused a revision to the Plan to remove this restriction. However, existing regulation by Collier County limits motorized vessel throughout the bay to idle speed and no wake. In addition, the proposed Plan would implement a provision for evaluation of boat traffic and any adverse impacts to the Bay. The proposed Plan should not produce any significant changes in navigation in the Bay." WHEREAS, the foregoing two sections of the 1998 DEP Permit, Sections 3(h) and 5, and Section (13) of the Corps Findings of Fact with respect to the 1998 Corps Permit, contain the only mention of even signage in either the 1998 DEP Permit, the 1998 Corps Permit, or in any findings of fact issued by either agency in connection therewith (collectively, the "Permit Documents "). There is no mention of markers anywhere in the Permit Documents. WHEREAS, the Plan did directly deal with motorized boating in Clam Bay, in Section 3.3.2 dealing with the Proposed Recreational Component of the Plan: Plan, pages 36 -38: "For the most part, Clam Bay remains inaccessible to the general public.... Canoeing of the waterways within Clam Bay remains a popular activity for those seeking a more intimate look at the estuary, and its wildlife or those seeking solitude in the upper reaches of the bay. Fishing is also a frequent undertaking from either the boardwalks or canoes. Swimming is confined to the beach area, although there is a reasonable amount of wading in Clam Pass and back into the estuary as much as 1,000 or so feet from the mouth of the Pass. CAC January 12, 2012 VII -4 Staff Reports 3of10 The use of motorized watercraft is not prohibited, and evidence of periodic use of such is evident from observation. For the most part, the accumulation of sediments and the shoaling that has taken place has resulted in physically limiting the accessibility of Clam Bay to deeper draft boats and particularly those equipped with engines. Most, if not all of the motorized boat traffic is believed to originate in the Seagate residential area and be confined to the area from Outer Clam Bay to Clam Pass. [emphasis supplied] The Management Plan would not anticipate any change to the recreational use characteristics of Clam Bay. The contemplated widening and deepening of Clam Pass and the interior channels leading into Outer Clam Bay will not measurably improve navigability. Earlier assumptions to the contrary have proved to be inappropriate as the channel itself remains very confined. Further, since no dredging of Outer Clam Bay is proposed, accessibility across the same will not be noticeable improved. [emphasis supplied] Presently, Collier County has enacted Ordinance 96 -16 which Ordinance provides for the utilization of the Clam Bay area by motorized watercraft provided that they operate at no wake and idle speed. The Management Plan recommends no change in that protocol. The PBSD will however, in cooperation with the County, vigorously enforce the existing Ordinance. Further, if significant adverse impacts to the natural resources and water quality of the Clam Bay system are confirmed by the Collier County Department of Natural Resources, the FDEP and the Corps environmental staffs to be directly attributable to the use of motorized boats within the Clam Bay system, then additional restrictions or adjustments in the use of motorized boats within the Clam Bay system shall be considered for imposition to ensure that the ecological integrity of the Clam Bay system is preserved.... Appropriate notification, signage and policing will be provided by the County and the PBSD to ensure compliance. The signage will be strategically placed both at the entrance to Clam Pass and in the areas around the boat ramp located at the southern end of Clam Bay. These are intended to ensure that persons accessing the Clam Bay system are informed of its unique ecological characteristics, the limitations of access resulting from variations in water depth, the existence of no wake /idle speed requirements for motorized boat operation and importantly, the importance of staying out of areas as having maturing seaerass beds and potential manatee habitat. Precise language to be included in the signage will be determined in cooperation with the agencies post permit issuance. [emphasis supplied] WHEREAS, the only mention of markers that occurs in any document connected with the Permit Documents is in the Plan, where, on page 38 and 39, the following sentence occurs: "Finally, the main channel will be marked in accordance with the requirements imposed by the United States Coast Guard to ensure that those who use the system clearly know where the channel is and the prohibitions of operating their water craft outside the same." [emphasis supplied] CAC January 12, 2012 VII -4 Staff Reports 4of10 WHEREAS, the foregoing clearly indicates that the purpose of the referenced markers was to protect maturing seagrass beds and potential manatee habitat in the main channel by ensuring that those who use the system know about the importance of staying out of such areas. [emphasis supplied] WHEREAS, the residents of the community known as Seagate ( "Seagate ") have contended for several years that this single sentence in the Plan mandates the installation of red and green navigational markers in Clam Bay, not only in the "main channel," which is the only area that this sentence mentions to be marked, but also through Outer Clam Bay. WHEREAS, the PBSD, as the original permittee of the 1998 DEP Permit and the 1998 Corp Permit, and as the author of the Plan, is fully aware that neither the 1998 DEP Permit, the 1998 Corps Permit, nor the Plan contemplated the installation of red and green navigational markers anywhere in Clam Bay. WHEREAS, the PBSD, as the original permittee of the 1998 DEP Permit and the 1998 Corp Permit, and as the author of the Plan, believes that the purpose of the referenced markers was to protect maturing seagrass beds and potential manatee habitat by ensuring that those who use the system know about the importance of staying out of such areas. WHEREAS, by the explicit terms of the 1998 DEP Permit and by the explicit terms of the Plan the Plan was designed as a dynamic document that can be modified over time: General Condition 1 of the 1998 DEP Permit: All activities authorized by this permit shall be implemented as set forth in the plans, specifications, and attached drawings approved as a part of this permit, and all conditions and requirements of this permit. The permittee shall notify the Department in writing of any anticipated deviation from the permit so that the Department can determine whether a modification of the permit is required. Plan, page 4: "It is recognized that as management protocols are implemented, monitoring conducted, and the demands on the natural ecosystem change, new challenges and opportunities will develop beyond those presented in this plan. The PBSD is aware that changes will occur and has development a Management Plan that is dynamic and can be modified through time while still meeting the PBSD's goals." Plan, page 5: "The Report has been used to select those management protocols that meet the goals established by the PBSD and related and interested stake holders. The long -term goal of the Management Plan is that it be used as a tool for evaluating new management options, as well as existing protocols as circumstances require. It should be used minimally, on an annual basis, for CAC January 12, 2012 VII -4 Staff Reports 5of10 reviewing any new issues or options, as well as for evaluating existing operational protocols. These analysis [sic] will assist in the prioritization for implementation in the next ensuing year. SAs new management issues develop and others are resolved or implemented, the Management Plan can be updated to reflect the current and future needs of Clam Bay." Plan, pages 5 -6: "The goals established by the PBSD for the Clam Bay Management Plan are:.... develop operational protocols that allow the permit holder to respond to changing circumstances under defined parameters ...." Plan, page 8: "In the Section entitled the Role of the PBSD, the report discusses a framework for the PBSD to become not only a clearinghouse and coordinator for activities relating to Clam Bay, but also the primary manager of the implementation protocols." Plan, page 10: "As the official manager of the Management Plan, the PBSD will direct and have responsibility for its implementation and operation over time. As such, the PBSD will plan and implement identified management protocols. The objectives of these management protocols will be to protect, enhance, and maintain the natural resources and the ecological value of Clam Bay. WHEREAS, the PBSD has treated the Plan as a dynamic document and has made changes in implementation protocols over the life of the Plan, including, among other things, determining what markers are most appropriate for Clam Bay to protect maturing seagrass beds and potential manatee habitat by ensuring that those who use the system know about the importance of staying out of such areas. WHEREAS, the Chairman of the PBSD Board participated with representatives of the County, the City of Naples, the Pelican Bay Foundation, the Mangrove Action Group, the Sierra Club, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, and Seagate on a Clam Bay Marker Working Group to attempt to determine what marking system is most appropriate for Clam Bay. WHEREAS, the Chairman of the PBSD Board and the Clam Bay Working Group, with the exception of the representative of Seagate, recommended the installation of canoe trail markers and informational signs in Clam Bay in order (i) to protect maturing seagrass beds and potential manatee habitat by ensuring that those who use the system know about the importance of staying out of such areas, and (ii) to provide notice to users of the system of the presence of shoals, and (iii) to provide notice to users of the system that the system is being used by a variety of watercraft. WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners for Collier County (the "BCC ") considered on June 14, 2011 the recommendation of the Clam Bay Marker Working Group and approved and adopted this recommendation and instructed Collier County staff to seek to obtain a permit from the relevant authorities authorizing the installation of these canoe trail markers and informational signs. CAC January 12, 2012 VII -4 Staff Reports 6of10 WHEREAS, the Collier County Director of Coastal Zone Management applied for and obtained on September 9, 2011, a permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission ( "FWC ") for the installation of these canoe trail markers and informational signs. WHEREAS, on October 20, 2011, the Corps notified Collier County as follows: As long as the markers are consistent with Special condition 2 of the Corps permit no. SAJ- 1996 -02789 an additional permit is not needed because the markers are already authorized under this permit. The Corps will allow informational channel markers instead of coast guard approved markers. The intent of this condition within the Corps permit is to protect the resources while allowing safe passage. The markers shown in the attached application appear to satisfy this requirement and will bring the permit back in compliance. Please see the attached letter and make sure to submit the requested documentation once the work is completed. WHEREAS, on October 25, 2011, the USCG notified Collier County as follows: This email is in response to the attached State of Florida, FWC permit 11 -020 dated September 9, 2011 for the establishment of information marks in Clam Pass /Bay. The USCG has no objection for the placement of the marks per the attached permit. WHEREAS, on November 2, 2011, the DEP gave notice of its intent to grant an exemption and a consent to use sovereign submerged lands for the installation of these canoe trail markers and informational signs. WHEREAS, the PBSD considers the Plan to have been de facto amended to provide for the installation of these canoe trail markers and informational signs by virtue of the foregoing actions. WHEREAS, in order to avoid any doubt regarding this fact, the PBSD Board wishes to make it clear that the Plan has been amended to provide for the installation of these canoe trail markers and informational signs. WHEREAS, the PBSD has in the past assessed the residents of Pelican Bay to fulfill its functions as the permittee under the Plan, and continues to assess the residents of Pelican Bay to fulfill the other purposes of the PBSD with respect to Clam Bay as outlined in Collier County Ordinance 2006 -05, which include the "the maintenance of conservation or preserve areas, including the restoration of the mangrove forest preserve...."

By ERIC STAATS Sunday, January 1, 2012 NAPLES — A North Naples neighborhood's push for more formal navigational markers in Clam Bay could be up to a judge now that the neighborhood has lost a round with a state agency. The state Department of Environmental Protection has dismissed 44 mostly identical petitions that Seagate residents filed to try to stop what they say is an inadequate canoe trail marker plan pushed by their neighbors in Pelican Bay, DEP spokesman Terry Cerullo said. The orders give residents 15 days to submit new petitions, but Seagate Property Owners Association President Ernie Wu said the group's attempt to trigger an administrative challenge might have run its course. "We're still analyzing what we can do," Wu said. In a series of orders dismissing each petition, starting last week, DEP attorneys said the petitions don't have enough information for the agency to determine if a hearing should be held on whether the canoe trail plan should go forward. For example, the petitions don't cite any disputed facts or specifics about how the marker plan would harm each petitioner's "environmental interests," the orders say. The petitions were part of a two- pronged legal attack launched in November on the marker plan that Collier commissioners approved this summer. The Seagate Property Owners Association also filed a lawsuit in Collier Circuit Court asking a judge to force the county to put up more formal navigational markers. Seagate interprets a 1998 mangrove restoration permit to require the familiar red -and- green markers, but Pelican Bay says that isn't what is meant by the permit nor by a related management plan for Clam Bay. The Pelican Bay Services Division board, an arm of county government, voted in a special meeting earlier this month to adopt a resolution that amends the 1998 plan in mhtml:file://G: \CAC Information Folders \1 CAC Agenda Items by Year\2012 CAC Agenda... 1/4/2012 Seagate's push for Clam Bay markers spurned by state, going to judge next?: Naple�J,5 i ,u,g#J0Yof 2 10 of 10 an attempt to blunt the Seagate lawsuit. "I would characterize it as the community's desire to clarify the county's intent (for markers in the 1998 plan)," Pelican Bay Services Division Administrator Neil Dorrill said. The resolution also asks the Pelican Bay Foundation, the neighborhood's master homeowners association, to intervene in the lawsuit on the side of the county. Collier County commissioners could vote on the resolution as early as their Jan. 10 meeting. County Attorney Jeff Klatzkow said this week that he's given the resolution only a cursory review and wants to "hear what they (Pelican Bay leaders) have to say about it." "It's just a resolution," Klatzkow said. "Whether it does anything or not, I don't know." The seven -page resolution rewrites the sentence in the 1998 plan that Seagate's lawsuit contends requires the red - and -green markers. Instead, the new sentence calls for the county to install the canoe trail markers. Pelican Bay contends that the 1998 plan has been "amended in fact" because a county working group, county commissioners and state and federal agencies have signed off on the canoe trail markers. "We're well beyond red and green navigational markers," Pelican Bay Foundation Secretary Steve Feldhaus said. The rewrite, coming after Seagate's lawsuit, seems disingenuous, Seagate leader Wu said. "From a sincerity standpoint, it seems to be kind of a desperation attempt," Wu said. ® 2012 Scripps Newspaper Group — Online mhtml:file://G: \CAC Information Folders \1 CAC Agenda Items by Year\2012 CAC Agenda... 1/4/2012 CAC January 12, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 1 of 13 December 5, 2011 — Rev. 0 January 5, 2012 — Rev. 1 Clam Bay Numeric Nutrient Criteria Executive Summary In April 2011, Atkins was contracted by Collier County's Coastal Zone Management Department to develop numeric nutrient criteria for Clam Bay. This Executive Summary provides a project overview, summary of the current water quality condition in Clam Bay, review of the approach used to develop site - specific numeric nutrient criteria for Clam Bay, and a summary of the review process to be used to manage the Clam Bay water quality program in the future. This Executive Summary presents the first of three distinct but interrelated reports that will provide guidance for managing this water quality program. In addition to numeric nutrient criteria, the standards for Dissolved Oxygen and Fecal Coliform are also being addressed, with reports anticipated in the near future on these separate work products. Whv attention focused on Clam Bay? Clam Bay is an important natural feature in Collier County. The Clam Bay system consists of three tidally influenced lagoons: Upper, Inner and Outer Clam Bay and their connecting waterways. The Clam Bay estuary and its surrounding mangrove forest comprise a 570 -acre protected conservation area deeded to Collier County as a condition for the development of the Pelican Bay community. With the increased development of Collier County, there has been concern that Clam Bay might be adversely impacted by environmental pressures that typically accompany population growth. Though watershed development has not directly impacted the shoreline features of most of Clam Bay, secondary impacts associated with the alteration of freshwater and nutrient delivery could have produced a negative impact to the overall all ecology. These concerns led to a series of studies in recent years to evaluate environmental conditions in Clam Bay, culminating in the effort to develop site - specific numeric nutrient criteria for evaluating and managing Clam Bay's water quality. Water Quality Approach in Clam Bay The project to develop site - specific numeric nutrient criteria for Clam Bay is part of a statewide transition away from reliance on "narrative standards" to reliance on "more quantitative measures" of water quality. The state of Florida through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has historically used a narrative standard for nutrient concentrations in surfaces waters, which state that nutrient concentrations must not cause "an imbalance of Flora and Fauna." This approach has generally served Florida well, as it allows for the recognition that there can be locations where water quality impairment from a regulatory viewpoint can actually reflect natural conditions. In the 1990's the State of Florida passed the Florida Watershed Restoration Act (FWRA) wherein the FDEP committed to a specific course of action to meet the requirements of the federal governments Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWA requires states to submit lists of surface waters that do not meet applicable water quality standards and to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for these waters. Under Florida Law, a TMDL is defined as "...the maximum amount of pollution that a water body or water segment can assimilate from all sources without exceeding the water quality standard..." In 2001, an FDEP- approved method for identifying impaired surface waters, known as the "Impaired Water Rules" or IWR, was adopted. After the development of the IWR, FDEP initiated a plan for the development of numeric nutrient concentration criteria (NNC) which was reviewed and adopted by EPA. The plan called for adoption of criteria for lakes and streams by the end of 2010 as Page 1 of 13 CAC January 12, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 2of13 a first step, but a lawsuit by environmental groups caused the EPA to intervene to accelerate the process. As it relates to coastal systems such as Clam Bay, the EPA's latest timeline call for the release of revised numeric nutrient criteria for estuaries, their watersheds and the coastal waters by November 2011 and for final nutrient criteria for to be developed by August 2012. This timeframe has coincided with the analysis and development of NNC for Clam Bay and has afforded an opportunity for project participants to work collaboratively with FDEP reviewers in developing proposed criteria. Is Clam Bay "impaired" using existing FDEP criteria? Prior to November 2009, there was no single ambient water quality monitoring program throughout the entire Clam Bay system. The Pelican Bay monitoring program, which was originally designed to answer specific permit - related water quality storm water management concerns, includes stations that are appropriate for permitting needs but are not appropriately located for an ambient monitoring program. Station locations used by PBS &J (2008) were adequate for some locations in Clam Bay, and were thought to be useful for further analysis efforts. Using the aforementioned datasets for Clam Bay, an analysis (PBS &J 2009) indicated that existing water quality standards described in FDEP's Impaired Waters Rule (IWR) are often not met, particularly in Upper Clam Bay. In that report, PBS &J (2009) noted that "Levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) are frequently below standards set in the IWR (FAC 62- 302.530). Additionally, the data indicates that portions of Clam Bay exceed threshold values of chlorophyll -a established in the IWR (FAC 62- 302.530)." At the request of the Collier County Coastal Zone Management Department, PBS &J (2009) designed a water quality monitoring program for Clam Bay, which is being implemented by Collier County staff. The FDEP IWR contains approved methods for evaluating water quality of lake, stream, and marine waterbodies. Clam Bay is designated as a Class Il, marine waterbody, which means that FDEP considers that Clam Bay's designated use is for shellfish propagation and harvesting. Clam Bay data provided by Collier County for the period of 2009 to 2011 was compared against the appropriate standard for fecal coliform bacteria, DO, and chlorophyll -a. Presently, Clam Bay would be designated "impaired" for fecal _coliform`bacteria and DO. In regards to chlorophyll -a, sufficient data was only available in 2010 to calculate an annual average (9.0 pg /L) which was below the 11 pg /L standard required for estuaries. However, a separate evaluation of the annual chlorophyll -a average for Upper Clam Bay alone (14.6 pg /L) indicates elevated phytoplankton levels. Is impairment likely due to nutrient- reiatea impacts to wafer quaniy: In addition to evaluating water quality conditions to assess the impairment status of Clam Bay, the potential relationships between nutrients and DO or Chlorophyll -a were reviewed. Dissolved Oxygen A correlation analysis between DO and multiple parameters (i.e. nutrients, color, salinity, temperature and chlorophyll -a) was performed to identify the potential cause for DO concentrations in Clam Bay. There was no evidence of an empirical relationship between DO and total nitrogen (TN) and although there was evidence of a link between DO and total phosphorus (TP) it was statistically weak. Water temperature and salinity explained more than 10 times as much of the variability in DO as TP alone. While the FDEP IWR requires a minimum DO of 4.0 mg /L in all Florida estuaries, DO values below 4.0 mg /L are expected in Southwest Florida (Atkins 2011; McCormick et al. 1997, FEDP Page 2 of 13 CAC January 12, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 3of13 2004). Moreover, there is little evidence to suggest that TN or TP concentrations impact DO in Clam Bay. Chlorophyll -a A correlation analysis between chlorophyll -a and TN and TP was performed to identify the potential cause for chlorophyll -a concentrations in Clam Bay. A statistically significant regression was observed between chlorophyll -a and both TP and TN, which explained 22% and 25% of the variability, respectively. However, despite the link between nutrients and chlorophyll -a, a resulting impact on water clarity (Secchi disk depth) was not detected. Connections between nutrients and chlorophyll -a, chlorophyll -a and water clarity, and water clarity and seagrass are thus not found in Clam Bay. Additionally, recent studies indicate that the organic content of the sediment in the Clam Bay system is not indicative of substantial over - enrichment by nutrients (PBS &J 2010). Instead, it has been suggested that the fine - grained sediment that characterizes much of Clam Bay is likely due to reduced flushing and low tidal velocities within Clam Bay (PBS &J 2010). Review of Previous TMDL Development While Clam Bay does not meet IWR guidance for DO nutrients cannot be linked to these values. Additionally, elevated chlorophyll -a concentrations can be found in Upper Clam Bay (although not Clam Bay as a whole), but a resulting impact on water clarity was not evident. Related to this issue, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida expressed the following sentiments in 2009, "...in order to trigger a TMDL, dissolved oxygen levels have to be below standards in concert with causative pollutants. Biological Oxygen Demand, Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus also have to exceed State standards. Dissolved oxygen levels recorded in Clam Bay have been below the State standard, typical of a lot of estuarine waterways, in the County including Rookery Bay ... these levels are not surprising and can be defended (K. Worley 2009)." However, TMDLs have been developed in waterbodies with DO impairments even when TN and TP concentrations were below screening criteria (i.e. Gordon River TMDL (FDEP 2008a), Hendry Creek TMDL (FDEP 2008b)). For Hendry Creek, freshwater (32586) and marine (3258131) segments, located in Lee County, have both been declared impaired for DO, and in 2008, FDEP developed a TMDL requiring a 32% load reduction for TN, even though nutrient concentrations were below screening criteria. As an example of problems with the impairment process, the Rookery Bay Coastal waterbody (WBID 3278U), an estuarine system in Collier County, was declared impaired for nutrients (chlorophyll a) in 2009 as part of the FDEP Group 1 Cycle 2 verified impaired list. The impairment was based upon elevated annual chlorophyll -a concentrations in 2006(14.0 ug /1) alone. These sampling stations were located adjacent to boat ramps and roadway crossings. New sampling stations were visited in 2006 which were previously not evaluated. Prior to the addition of these inappropriate (for any ambient condition monitoring effort) sampling stations, the annual average chlorophyll a concentration did not exceed 11 ug /l. Implications of Problematic TMDLs For the past 12 years, the TMDL program in Florida has been focused on identifying water quality impairments and developing and adopting TMDLs to restore water quality. Today, the program is rapidly transitioning to project implementation and water quality restoration (i.e., TMDL implementation), with the cost of restoration being passed to local governments and other MS4 (stormwater) permittees. TMDL implementation is being enforced by FDEP through revisions to the MS4 permit renewal process. Whereas prior permits focused on documenting stormwater Page 3 of 13 CAC January 12, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 4of13 infrastructure and reporting monitoring and other management activities, new permits include requirements to implement TMDLs and demonstrate water quality improvements. This marks a clear transition in MS4 permitting in Florida, its use as a planning tool to guide stormwater management to a regulatory tool for enforcing the implementation of TMDLs and load reductions. These changes have made it ever more important for local governments to verify that water quality impairments identified by FDEP are real, that the TMDLs developed and adopted by FDEP are scientifically defensible, and that water quality restoration projects can be reasonably expected to restore water quality. Failure to do so may mean that a community will be legally obligated to implement projects that are not necessary and may not restore water quality. In addition, the implementation of "problematic" TMDLs would divert the limited staff and financial resources of local governments from addressing "real" water quality problems and delay the restoration of truly impaired water quality. In developing site specific numeric nutrient criteria (NNC) for Clam Bay, Collier County is ensuring that the water quality status of the bay will be properly assessed and that, if necessary, any management actions implemented by the County to protect to protect the bay, will be effective. This will save the County significant time and money and avoid potential litigation with the state and other parties. Site Specific Water Quality Criteria Development for Clam Bay The effective management of this system will be compromised if the serious concerns discussed above and summarized below are not addressed. These findings lend further support to the conclusion (PBSU 2009) that both the DO and Chlorophyll- a'standards outlined in FDEP's IWR can be inappropriate in SW Florida water bodies. It was recommended in the same report that Collier County should work with staff from FDEP to develop Site- specific alternative criteria (SSAC) for parameters such as chlorophyll -a, TN and TP;and DO. The probable concerns from FDEP's current policies and our site specific circumstances are summarized as:, • Problematic impairment using existing FDEP criteria. • The lack of evidence that total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations impact DO in Clam Bay. • Sediment aging and sediment organic content results do not support nutrient impairment. • The previous TMDL Development Orders by FDEP if required would divert the limited staff and financial resources from addressing the "real" water quality problems and delay the restoration of truly;, impaired water quality. Three approaches have been developed to derive numeric nutrient criteria by FDEP (Taken from FDEP 2nd draft overview of marine NNC approaches (11/2010). • Maintain healthy existing conditions provides for maintaining the current nutrient regime in a system determined to be biologically healthy (from the standpoint of nutrient enrichment). • Historical conditions • Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) modeling or response -based approach Proposed numeric nutrient concentration criteria and management The Numeric Nutrient Criteria (NNC) for Clam Bay are based upon a nutrient:salinity relationship that was developed for Clam Bay, after first comparing that relationship to a similarly derived nutrient:salinity regression from an estuary (Estero Bay Wetlands) previously used by FDEP as a "reference location" for water quality in estuaries in Southwest Florida. NNC have to be considered in the context of salinity due to the relationship between nutrient concentrations and salinity that is found Page 4 of 13 CAC January 12, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 5of13 in most estuaries. Since there is substantial variability in the relationship between nutrient concentrations and salinity, management responses due to deviations from the proposed NNC should be a function of magnitude and duration of any exceedances from salinity - normalized NNC values. Clam Bay appears to be co- limited by both TN and TP (PBS &J 2008). Consequently, salinity - normalized targets were developed for both TN and TP (Figures 1 and 2). To be consistent with existing methods used by FDEP, the upper 10th percentile prediction limit for the regression between TN or TP and conductivity (from Clam Bay) was used for target setting. The upper 10th percentile prediction limit was selected because it represents the line beyond which only 10% percent of values would be expected to occur. Based on the average conductivity (42,453 NS) in Clam Bay over the periods from 1994 -1998 and 2009 -2011, the corresponding upper 10th percentile prediction limit for TN and TP are 1.22 and 0.086 mg /L, respectively. In comparison, the draft FDEP Estuary- Specific Numeric Nutrient Criteria (September 29, 2011) TN and TP criteria for Estero Bay are 0.63 and 0.07mg /L, respectively. The TN and TP criteria for Marco Island are 0.36 mg TN /L and 0.048 mg TP /L. For Naples Bay the values listed are 0.32 mg TN /L and 0.050 mg TP /L. While protective of existing conditions, the proposed criteria for Clam Bay do not result in a finding of "impairment ", nor are they more restrictive than guidance developed by FDEP. The equations which represent the upper 10th percentile prediction limit for TN and TP are provided below (Equations 1 and 2). Equation 1: TN Upper Limit (mg /L), = 2.3601 — 0.0000268325 *Conductivity (NS) Equation 2: TP Upper Limit (mg /L) = exp (- 1.06256- 0.0000328465 *Conductivity (NS)) Proposed System Management Clam Bay would be assigned differential designation categories based on the magnitude and duration of exceedances of the upper 10th percentile prediction limit for salinity - normalized nutrient concentrations. The bay's designation in any given year would then be used to identify the level of resource management actions appropriate for any period of time examined (i.e., a single year or numerous years combined). Individual TN and TP values from the waterbody would be compared to the upper nutrient:conductivity 10th percentile prediction limit (Figure 3). The minimum number of samples required to not meet an applicable water quality criterion would be based on the approach used by FDEP for determining if the percent of "impaired" water quality values are supportive of a site being included on the Planning or Verified list. In other words, nutrient concentrations are allowed to exceed the upper limit occasionally, but exceedances cannot be frequent enough that it would be reasonable to conclude that a "different" data set has resulted. The number of "violations" (i.e., number of TN or TP values higher than the upper 10th percentile of the nutrient vs. salinity regression) would be compared to guidance in F.A.C. 62 -303. These tables provide the minimum number of samples not meeting an applicable water quality criterion needed to put an estuary on the planning list with at least 80% confidence or the verified list with a least 90% confidence. If the number of exceedances is greater than or equal to the minimum number of exceedance required for a waterbody to be classified as impaired, the duration of exceedance would then be determined. Based on the duration of exceedance (one year or greater than one year), an outcome designation is assigned. If the number of exceedances is less than the minimum number of samples required based on sample size, then the outcome would be a category of "0 ". If the number of exceedances Page 5 of 13 CAC January 12, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 6of13 and the duration (i.e., >1 year) of the exceedances are small, the outcome would be a category of "1 ". If the magnitude or duration of the exceedances is large, then the outcome would be a category "2 ". If both the magnitude and duration of the exceedances are large, then the outcome would be a category of "T'. The management response for Clam Bay would be determined based on the outcomes assigned to both the TN and TIP evaluations for the magnitude and duration of exceedance (Figure 4). Management response actions would be identified based on presence or absence of co- occurring phenomena that could be attributed to nutrient availability, in particular the responses of phytoplankton and DO, as well as potential impacts to water clarity (Figure 5). If the outcome of the TN and TP evaluation was classified as "green ", then no management actions are required. However, if the outcomes are classified as "yellow" or "red" then further evaluation of the effect of elevated nutrient concentrations needs to be conducted. If there is no relationship between nutrients and chlorophyll -a or DO, then no management actions are required. If there is a signification relationship between nutrients and chlorophyll -a or nutrients and DO, then the impact of chlorophyll -a on the water clarity (Secchi disk depth) would be evaluated as well as an evaluation of the annual chlorophyll -a value to the 11 pg /L standard found in F.A.C. 62- 303 -353. If there is a significant relationship between chlorophyll -a concentrations and water clarity, or annual chlorophyll -a concentrations are above 11 pg /L, an outcome designation of "yellow" (indicative of small magnitude or duration of exceedances) signified that actions should be taken to identify the potential causes of the elevated nutrient levels. It the outcome designation is "red" (indicative of a large magnitude or duration of exceedances), management actions should be taken to implement recommended actions to reduce nutrient concentrations. Using this approach, the health of Clam Bay would be assessed on a regular basis, and appropriate resource management options, from no action needed to implementation of corrective actions, would be determined.

This memo is a shortened version of the earlier report FDEP reviewed, with a focus on the derivation of the salinity - normalized TN and TP targets. As per guidance from FDEP, the targets are based on data from Clam Bay alone. However, the longer back -up repo rt wi 11 i ncl ude a compari son of Cl am Bay's nut ri ent vs sal i Ili ty rel ati onshi p wi th that from FDEP's reference WBID of Estero Bay wetlands. we've also used the upper 10th percentile limit for determining what is an appropriate TN or TP concentrations (based on the salinity) and the percent of results that can "exceed" this guidance is based on the percent of exceedances required to place a water body into either the Planning or verified Impaired lists compiled by FDEP. The larger report will also 'include results from our just - completed first round of source ID efforts for bacteria, using DNA sequence tests with Bacteroidetes (which are obligate anaerobes) and the human polyoma virus. Both results were negative. we also ran a test where we collected droppings from birds (Ibis) in the mangrove canopy of Clam Bay and found that a single bird Page 1 FW Technical memorandum on NNC for Clam Bay.txt Page 11 of 13 CAC January 12, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 12 of 13 defecation amount produced approximately 290,000 fecal coliform bacteria. This latter test not only shows that birds can be a source of a laboratory's fi ndi ng of "fecal col i form bacteria" but it showed that a single bird's individual defecation event can produce enough bacteria to cause 180 gallons of water to exceed the 43 cfu / 100 ml standard for class II waters. we are excited by these findings, and will consider them in combination with a sanitary features survey to discuss the likely sources of bacteria in clam Bay. Gary and others wanted me to express our gratitude to you and your staff for giving us the guidance needed to develop these NNC for this important natural resource. Thanks, Dave David A.

Page 2 Page 12 of 13 CAC January 12, 2012 VII -5 Staff Reports 13 of 13 Standards and Assessment Section Comments on Collier County: Numeric Nutrient Criteria Clam Bay - Development of Site- Specific Alternative Water Quality Criteria (August 31, 2011 Technical Note) Prepared By Ken Weaver Florida Department of Environmental Protection Standards and Assessment Section The August 31, 2011 Atkins proposal represents a significant improvement over the July 21, 2011 proposal. I believe that it represents a scientifically defensible approach for developing protective, yet not overly stringent criteria, for Clam Bay. The revised proposal adopted all our previous recommendations including use of Clam Bay data to set nutrient limits for itself. I find that with these changes nutrients limits are not overly stringent or unrealistic for Clam Bay and would achieve reasonable Type I and 11 error rates. Furthermore, Atkins has provided convincing documentation that Clam Bay is healthy with regards to nutrients; that is, the existing nutrient regime in Clam Bay is protective of the designated use. Therefore, DEP is currently considering adoption into Chapter 62 -302, F.A.C., criteria for Clam Bay based on the approaches described in the August 31, 2011 Technical Note. DEP is still receiving public comment on the Clam Bay criteria and will make a final decision regarding whether to move forward at this time after a thorough review of all comments received.
