General Public: Any person who decides to appeal a decision of this Board will need a record of the proceedings pertaining thereto; and therefore may need to ensure that a verbatim record of proceedings is made,which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to accept the Watershed Management Plan (WMP) and direct the County Manager or Designee to implement the WMP Initiatives utilizing existing Staff and Budget. OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of County Commissioners accept the WMP and direct the County Manager or designee to implement the recommended Watershed Management Plan (WMP) initiatives utilizing the existing staff and budget. CONSIDERATIONS: The WMP was developed to satisfy a Growth Management Plan commitment to assess and protect water resources. The project was funded in 2007. Atkins(formerly PBSJ)was hired in 2009 to update the Big Cypress Basin hydrologic / hydraulic model, and develop the WMP. They reviewed existing reports, evaluated existing water resource conditions and developed alternatives to restore or mitigate identified problems. The WMP in and of itself is not intended to be regulatory. The WMP recommended initiatives may lead to regulations and/or regulatory policies if supported through future vetting and approval by the Board. Nothing contained in the WMP or these recommendations shall bind the Board in any way except that where Board-approved recommendations result in staff developing program, policy, ordinance or regulation for further Board action. The recommendations serve as a guide for staff in developing the resultant policy,program, ordinance or regulation for further consideration by the Board. The final draft of the WMP is attached. The WMP has been discussed at 7 Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Meetings, 6 Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) meetings, and 4 public workshops this year and 31 committee and public workshops have been held since 2007. The WMP has identified water resource concerns regarding: • Excessive fresh water discharges from canals (including ground water discharges) especially to Naples Bay; • The drainage system does not provide the desired level of flood protection; • Pollutant loading associated with development may degrade water quality conditions; • Aquifer impacts due to canal discharge, reduced recharge, and potable and agricultural withdrawal demands. Some concerns are being addressed by ongoing and completed restoration projects in South Golden Gate and Lake Trafford. Projects, regulations and policy changes were evaluated to mitigate these remaining identified concerns. The recommended projects and initiatives are listed below and discussed in the Recommendations. (The text of the Recommendations here may vary from the text in the WMP due to vetting with advisory committees and time constraints. The final approved Board recommendations will be inserted in the final WMP.) Implementation of the WMP recommendations is to be accomplished by utilizing existing staff to manage the recommended projects(Table 1)and non structural initiatives(Table 2)as time and existing budget allow. Implementation of recommended projects will be accomplished with the existing stormwater budget, partnering, and grants as funds become available following the Lely Area Stormwater Improvement Project completion. The projects can be phased into the Capital Project schedule as the budget permits. Non-structural initiatives are to be implemented by developing policy, standards, and or criteria in scheduled Land Development Code (LDC) and Growth Management Plan amendment cycles utilizing existing staff,committees and with only minor consulting technical assistance. The Low Impact Development(LID) stormwater treatment best management practices(BMPs)will be an incentive based program where target LDC requirements will be relaxed to encourage LID components. The Flood Protection Level of Service(LOS)program will be contingent upon acceptance of the alternate base standard and analysis per the policy development process. The Florida - Friendly Fertilizer Ordinance was developed separately from the report and was approved by the Board on 7/26/11. Table 1. Projects Benefit to cost ratio(Recommendation 1).

Staff to review and comment on the conformance of the Plan in staff reports with respect to any environmental applications presented to the EAC for consideration. 2. Staff to provide an annual update to the EAC on the status of implementing the Plan. 3. Staff to begin the process of developing a Low Impact Development(LID)Manual. Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) Recommendation: On October 20, 2011, The Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) voted unanimously to move the 13 identified recommendations forward and: 1. Include SFWMD coordination in the certification program (Recommendation 12). Add a Lake Management Best Management Practices education program to Recommendation 12, including guidance for alternatives to copper based algaecides. 2. Evaluate effectiveness of the Watershed Management Plans in 7 years and then every 5th year. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed implementation strategy is to utilize existing staff and advisory committees with minimal consultant technical support to develop Growth Management Plan (GMP) revisions and LDC amendments that are incentive based. Structural Projects may be implemented as stormwater funds, partners,or grants become available. The implementation of the initiatives will be cost neutral. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office and has been found legally sufficient. A majority vote is required for approval. -STW GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Completion of the WMP and implementation initiatives will support objective 2.1 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the County Growth Management Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board directs the County Manager or designee to consider projects identified in Table 1 during the development of the surface water business plan and continue to develop the other following cost neutral and incentive based initiatives: (Note: All of the projects and initiatives below will require additional Board approval during subsequent phases as they are brought forward.) 1. Implementation of the projects in Table 1 as funding is available using existing Stormwater budget funds,grants, and by partnering with other entities. 2. In addition to current stormwater treatment standards(150%water quality volume requirements), develop a LID treatment program with existing staff by creating LDC incentives to encourage and offset any additional startup or operational costs. Focus will be on techniques that maximize water quality and recharge benefits. 3. Start a Stormwater Treatment System Retrofit program to retrofit public stormwater systems with LID and other treatment BMPs to maximize water quality and recharge benefits as grants and stormwater budget funds are available. 4. Evaluate the effectiveness of a Fee-Based Stormwater Utility to create incentives to improve water quality treatment and recharge. Structure of the fees would not increase the total revenues but would reward users with effective treatment systems. This initiative would require an initial fee rate study that would be funded by grant or from existing stormwater funds. 5. Utilize existing staff to develop flood protection LDC requirements for stormwater discharge rates, volume discharge limits, and verification of no downstream floodplain impacts to prevent increased flooding risk to downstream properties. 6. Consider changing the Flood Protection LOS standard by utilizing existing staff to analyze the WMP proposed system to insure it has the intended benefit of expanding the range of grading and identifying critical areas for improvement. If analysis is positive, develop an implementation plan to amend the standards in the Growth Management Plan. 7. Evaluate a North Golden Gate Estates (NGGE) Transfer of Development Rights program with a sending area as the North Golden Gates Flowway Restoration Area to encourage restoration of resource protective lands, and improve recharge of surficial aquifers. The receiving area would not be in the rural Golden Gate Estates area. This will be accomplished utilizing existing staff and an oversight committee to determine if there is support for the program. Final acceptance of the program will be through EAC, and CCPC reviews and Board approval. 8. Evaluate a NGGE mitigation program to ensure stormwater treatment, and floodplain storage capacity within the basin is not lost. This will be a pilot program that can be utilized in other basins if it is effective. Existing staff will work alternatives through the review process during the nest Golden Gate Master Plan revision. 9. To maximize ground water recharge, improve water quality, and reduce ground water discharge to the canal network staff will work with South Florida Water Management and Big Cypress Basin staff to improve the operation and or design of the Water Control Structures in future planned basin and structure evaluations. 10. Refinement of the existing Water Quality Monitoring program to prioritize sampling to impairments and include focused stormwater runoff sampling. This will be accomplished through contract negotiation with partners, reevaluation of the existing monitoring program during Florida Department of Environmental Protection Water Quality Assessment, and or grant opportunities. 11. Existing staff will work with state and federal partners to develop the Additional Watershed Protection Program as stormwater funds and or grants are available. This program includes efforts to encourage storage and treatment of stormwater in fallow agriculture areas and undeveloped estates lots to improve water quality, recharge and delivery of fresh water to the estuaries. The other component of the program is to reevaluate the preservation standards in rural fringe neutral areas with identified resource protective lands. 12. Develop a stormwater treatment system certification program with existing staff and utilizing guidance in the draft State Stormwater Quality Applicant's Handbook and Conservation and Coastal Management Element Policy 2.2.5 in the next LDC. As an alternative staff could be directed to modify CCME Policy 2.2.5 through the EAR Based amendments to eliminate this requirement. 13. Implement the Board adopted Florida-Friendly Fertilizer Use on Urban Landscapes ordinance and complimentary public education program utilizing existing staff.

Watershed Management Plan Presentation *It should be noted that due to the size of the WMP,it was not uploaded to the SIRE viewing system. A Public View Copy has been provided to the County Manager's Office at Building"F",Second Floor,3299 Tamiami Trail East,Naples FL,34112.The full report can be found on-line at http://www.colliergov.net/Index.aspx?page=2302 Co Ter County Growth Management Division Planning & Regulation Land Development Services To: Environmental Advisory Council From: Jerry Kurtz, Principal Project Manager Date: February 22, 2012 Subject: Surface Water Management Business Plan Needs Analysis—Project Listing and Categorization The Stormwater and Environmental Planning Section is preparing a Surface Water Management Business Plan to address the future Surface Water Management needs of Collier County. A business plan based on strategic objectives can provide effective guidance to county leadership on how a program needs to evolve and by what basis future program funding decisions will be made. The business plan will provide the foundation for program support by presenting well defined and prioritized service needs. The plan will be based on a clear strategy for accomplishing program goals with type and magnitude of costs projected, resource requirements identified, and timeframes clearly defined. It is a necessary and critical element to the program's future success and the basis to what degree the program will be supported. A Project Management Plan (PMP) was created in November 2011 (copy attached) to outline approach to producing a Surface Water Management Business Plan (SWMBP). The PMP was presented to the County Commission and approved on December 13, 2011 (Item 1OF). The Business Plan PMP was presented to the Floodplain Management Planning Committee (FMPC) on January 9, 2012. The first step in preparing the Surface Water Management Business Plan is listing and categorizing program needs. The following list is a working list meant to be updated as needed. The list was presented to the FMPC for review and comment on February 6, 2012. This listing is intended to be used in the next step of business plan development which is project prioritization and future needs programming. Projects have been placed in several categories based on the general intent and anticipated outcome of completion of the work. Some projects listed could easily fall under more than one category. Projects recommended by the Watershed Management Plans have all been listed under one specific category. The Southwest Florida Feasibility Study projects are also listed separately. These projects are considered draft as the study has not been finalized. Information provided for each project varies depending on what is readily available and easily supplied.

Surface Water Management Business Plan Collier County Project No. 51144 Produced by: Collier County Stormwater and Environmental Planning Section Land Development Services Department Growth Management Planning and Regulation Division November 14, 2011 DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND: This project management plan is an outline of the related issues and the planned approach to producing a Surface Water Management Business Plan (SWMBP). The SWMBP is intended to be the guiding document for programming the County's future surface water management needs. In anticipation of completion and acceptance of the FEMA/Flood Insurance Rate Map revisions, the Watershed Management Plans and the capital construction improvements of the Lely Area Stormwater Improvement Project (LASIP), staff is undertaking creation of the SWMBP as a business planning effort to guide county leadership in how to best address the future surface water management needs. Currently there is no up-to-date, short or long-range plan to use as a guide to address the future Surface Water Management needs of Collier County. The last significant planning document produced to identify and address this subject was the Stormwater Management Program Master Plan completed in August, 1990. From 1990 to the present many street and neighborhood flooding remediation projects have been funded and completed based on some of the deficiencies identified in the 1990 plan. As well, for over the past fifteen (15) years, a significant amount of resources dedicated to County Stormwater Management have been utilized on planning and completion of the Lely Area Stormwater Improvement Project. This project is currently scheduled to be complete by 2015. Therefore, to adequately plan for and address all subsequent County Surface Water Management needs, it is appropriate at this time to establish a Surface Water Management Business Plan. This plan will function as a strategic guide for future program progression and funding analysis decisions. Page 1 of 6 PMP-Surface Water Management Business Plan November 14,2011 GOALS: Planning is essential to gain citizen and agency support insuring that the program strategy is clear and the approach developed is comprehensive, cohesive and consistent year-to-year. Our goal is to adequately plan for and address the future County Surface Water Management needs by establishment of a Strategic Business Plan document utilized as a management tool to assist in understanding the current need and the desired level of service necessary, functioning as a guide for future program progression and funding analysis decisions. In addition to creating a plan for the future direction of the program, other more specific goals are: • Provide an inventory of all existing assets with a proactive management and maintenance plan; • Provide a comprehensive watershed management-based approach producing opportunities for collaboration with citizen and agency input and support; • Provide a comprehensive "needs analysis" to better understand necessary future funding needs and grant application opportunities; • Consider new strategies such as investigating prospects to modify environmental permitting to receive credit for rehydration of property and reconnection of historic flowways; • Consider all future roadway and mobility corridors, combining necessary transportation water management infrastructure with restoration and rehydration projects reducing overall project costs; • Develop of innovative and incentive based mitigation opportunities accommodating future needed expansion of the County's infrastructure; • Prioritize projects considering factors such as joint funding opportunities, aggressive interagency coordination, integration with review of public and private sector development projects, land use planning; • Improve facilitation of the AUIR/CIE process by establishment of a 5-year business plan. APPROACH: "Needs" are the key driver of any necessary and well founded program. Well defined service needs provide the basis for strong program support and development of solid program funding. A "Needs Plan" based on a clear strategy for accomplishing program goals must be the foundation of any successful program. All service item types should be identified with magnitude of annual and total costs projected, resource requirements acknowledged, and timeframes clearly defined. A business plan approach to County Surface Water Management needs is a necessary and critical element to the program's Page 2 of 6 PMP-Surface Water Management Business Plan November 14, 2011 future success. Effective business planning is the basis to what degree the program will be supported. The project approach will be divided into two (2) phases. The first phase will focus on identifying, maintaining and preserving all existing assets and inventory. The second phase will focus on prioritization and programming of all future projects.

March 7, 2012 - PMP & Projects presented to Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) Page 6 of 6 GO�v ler County Growth Management Division Planning & Regulation Memorandum To: Environmental Advisory Council From: Mac Hatcher, Senior Environmental Specialist Date: February 15, 2012 Subject: Watershed Management Plan Implementation Strategy Introduction The Watershed Management Plan (WMP) was developed to protect water resources in Collier County. This effort is to plan for the implementation of BCC recommended WMP initiatives (Attachment 1- BCC WMP Ex. Sum.). This plan is to strategically address what should be accomplished during the remainder of fiscal year 2011 / 2012. The initiatives are to be developed as existing staff and budget can accomplish. It is expected to take several years to address all of the recommended initiatives with this constraint. The initiatives were not prioritized by the BCC. There are varying amounts of uncertainty with the initiatives which will have to be resolved during development. The metrics developed as part of the WMP to assess resource conditions will be utilized to evaluate effects on resources and guide any future prioritization. Because funding is limited, opportunities for partner assistance and or grant funding may be crucial for timely completion of the projects. An evaluation of the initiatives effect on resource conditions will be completed coincidently with the GMP EAR review. Implementation of the Watershed Management Plan (WMP) initiatives will be accomplished with existing staff and budget. Initiatives not started this year will be worked into the schedule as time allows in future years. Specific concerns identified in the WMP, which the initiatives are intended to mitigate, include: • Excessive fresh water discharges to Naples and Faka Union bays; • Pollutant (nutrients and copper) loads from urban and agricultural runoff; • Canal capacities are inadequate for 25 year storm event; • Aquifer drawdown due to potable withdrawl, discharge to canals, and reduced recharge. The Picayune Strand Restoration Program is funded by the South Florida Water Management District and the US Army Corps of Engineers and is expected to address the fresh water . = Growth ManageriEnt Division•Planning&Regulation•2800 North Horseshoe Dove'Naples,Florida 34104.239-252-2400'wuw.coiliergov.net discharge impacts to Faka Union Bay. The recommended "Projects" are not expected to mitigate the anthropogenic impacts alone and are intended to be phased for construction following the completion of the Lely Area Stormwater Improvement Project (LASIP). The other recommended initiatives were proposed to develop county wide improvements or regulations (or policy) to keep conditions from worsening. The Low Impact Development (LID) BMPs are intended to complement the typically used wet detention stormwater management systems to both improve water quality and recharge characteristics. The North Golden Gate Estates (NGGE) TDR and mitigation bank initiatives will contribute to all of the identified concerns and has been recommended with the Master Mobility Plan. Updating the canal discharge rate ordinance will prevent further deterioration in canal capacity. Mapping the identified Resource Protective lands for the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) will contribute to canal capacity, water quality, and recharge improvements. The Florida Friendly Fertilizer Ordinance will contribute to water quality improvements, and the primary implementation steps have already been accomplished. Goal Restore Collier County water resources. Objectives of this Implementation Strategy: • Initiate the identified tasks (WMP Task Schedule) in FY 11/12 that will contribute significantly to restoration of water resources; • Identify strategy for completion of remaining initiatives by October 2012 Resources and Constraints Staff within the Stormwater and Environmental Planning section of the Land Development Services Department will be utilized to complete this work. Capital projects will be funded using existing stormwater budget following the completion of the LASIP projects. Preliminary planning will be completed to allow these projects to be available for grant and partnering opportunities prior to the completion of LASIP. The BCC understood that the staff and budget constraints would result in an extended implementation period spanning several years. The available staffing for these projects from LDS is approximately .6 FTE. There will be minor assistance from other LDS and County staff. WMP Implementation Strategy To determine a strategy for implementation of the initiatives staff considered the recommendations of the boards, completeness of the initiatives, and that none of the concerns are identified as critical. Staff considered two implementation approaches, utilization of a ranking process, and proceeding with multiple strategic initiatives as time permits. Because none of the concerns are identified as critical and many of the initiatives will require additional development staff proposes to develop strategically selected initiatives. The initiatives that have already been started, are likely to contribute to the mitigation of more than one identified concern, and projects most likely to receive cost share will be started this year. The EAC recommended the LID development be started immediately and the Florida Friendly Fertilizer Ordinance has already been approved and implementation and started. The staff proposed initiatives for immediate implementation include: • LID development and stormwater BMP upgrade initiatives which are intended to provide improved water quality treatment and recharge; Growth Management Division Office of Land Development- Stormwater and Environmental Planning Section • Project Implementation Plans that can be used to facilitate grant or partnering cost share; • The NGGE TDR and mitigation bank compliment each other and are intended to address all concerns; • Development of the canal discharge rates and mapping the identified resource protective lands do not require any additional technical evaluations; • Evaluation of other south west Fl. Stormwater utilities does not require addition technical development. Completion of the stormwater utility incentive fee structure, other flood protection measures, stormwater treatment certification, and LOS will require additional technical evaluations and or extensive vetting and are proposed for future development. Staff has identified the tasks in the LID, stormwater BMP upgrade, and NGGE initiatives that can be accomplished in the remainder of FY 12 and listed them with target completion dates in the attached Task Schedule. Projects will be prioritized for development of their implementation plan based on their cost/ benefit and likeliness for cost share. Also included on the task schedule for development this year is the Discharge Rate Ordinance and Resource Protective feature map for the EAC. These last 2 items are included because they will require minimal development time. Work products, updates in water quality regulations, and other pertinent notes will be posted on the WMP webpage for comment and bolded tasks on the task schedule will also be brought to Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) and the Floodplain Management Planning Committee (FMPC) for comment in the next meeting following the completion date. A fiscal year summary of progress, assessment reports (both County and State), and revised implementation schedule will be presented at the October 2012 meeting. I have listed the proposed tasks with milestone dates for this fiscal year below with a few tasks extending into next year. The tasks not scheduled yet will be scheduled in future years as time allows.
