Dauray BIG CYPRESS BASIN BOARD Charles J. Dauray Chairman Pam Mac'Kie John Sorey Noah Standridge Fred Thomas John Vaughn MESSAGE CHAIRMAN Since its inception in 1977, the Big Cypress Basin Board and South Florida Water Management District staff have done a commendable job in planning and implementing water resource and capital improvement projects. This year we are undertaking a higher -level perspective that emphasizes long -term goals and outcomes in carrying out our mission. It is appropriate to embark on this strategic approach during one of the most dramatic economic downturns in our nation's history. Faced with declining revenues and significant resource management challenges in 2010, the SFWMD and the Big Cypress Basin continue to find ways to move forward in serving the needs of both the people and water resources of the region. As stewards of taxpayer dollars, it is incumbent upon us to carefully and deliberately direct these limited resources toward the highest priorities that provide the greatest possible benefits. Based on our legislative charge to effectively manage water resources, the Basin Board took a hard look at our key mission responsibilities. Recognizing the need to focus on multi - purpose projects and initiatives, we determined the following priorities (detailed further on pages 4 and 5): • Maximize flood protection • Enhance and protect Big Cypress Basin ecosystems • Protect and improve inland and estuarine waters to achieve water quality standards • Ensure sustainable water supplies that protect natural systems and meet all reasonable - beneficial uses The concepts, strategies and success indicators contained in this Strategic Plan serve as our blueprint for future planning and budgeting. We remain committed to identifying and implementing solutions for the protection of Big Cypress Basin resources. BIG CYPRESS BASIN OVERVIEW The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is a regional governmental agency that oversees the water resources in the southern half of the state. Covering almost 18,000 square miles, the region encompasses all or part of 16 counties. Headquartered in West Palm Beach, it is the oldest and largest of the state's five water management districts. State legislation divides the SFWMD into two taxing basins based on hydrologic characteristics unique to each basin. The Big Cypress Basin (BCB, Basin) includes all of Collier County and a portion of mainland Monroe County. The Okeechobee Basin comprises the remaining area within SFWMD boundaries. A nine - member Governing Board, appointed by the Governor, provides oversight and sets policy for both basins. The Governor also appoints five Collier County residents to oversee Big Cypress Basin - specific planning, budgeting and operations. The SFWMD Board member representing the lower west coast area serves as Chairman of the Big Cypress Basin Board. Established in 1977, the BCB was initially charged with providing for the broad objectives of conservation, preservation and enhancement of water resources. Between SFVVMD VISION To be the worlds premier water resource agency SFWMD MISSION To manage and protect water resources of the region by balancing and improving -water quality, flood control, natural systems and water supply 1979 and 1993, agreements with Collier County transferred operation and maintenance of the county's primary network of canals and water control facilities to the Basin. Today, the Big Cypress Basin is responsible for operating and maintaining 162 miles of canals and 46 water control structures. Capital improvements to the water management infrastructure, designed to enhance water supply, environmental and flood control capabilities, are also provided by the BCB. In addition to water storage and drainage responsibilities, the Big Cypress Basin assists local governments and water utilities in developing alternative water supplies and implementing stormwater management programs to improve water quality. Major environmental protection and restoration partnership projects under way in the Basin include the Lake Trafford and Picayune Strand projects. Environmental, water use and right -of -way permitting support and water resource education / community outreach programs are other key Basin activities. Meetings of the Basin Board are held every other month. All meetings are open to the public and provide a discussion forum for matters relating to the region's water resources and budget issues. Basin administration is managed through the SFWMD Big Cypress Basin office in Naples. Operations and maintenance activities — including future responsibility for new pump stations and levees being constructed as part of the Picayune Strand restoration project — are carried out by staff at the SFWMD Big Cypress Basin Field Station, also located in Naples.

In the Big Cypress Basin, a key focus is reconnecting historic flow -ways and reestablishing ecosystems while enhancing the flow conveyance capabilities of the BCB water management infrastructure. The BCB presently supports two Everglades restoration capital projects: the Picayune Strand Restoration Project and the Lake Trafford Critical Restoration Project. Establishing and meeting Minimum Flow and Levels (MFLs) protect major water bodies from significant harm. MFL criteria define the point at which additional water withdrawals would result in significant harm. MFL criteria have been adopted for the Lower West Coast deeper aquifers that underlie the Big Cypress Basin. • Complete construction of existing key restoration projects • Restore historic flow -ways to enhance wetland functions while recognizing private property rights • Support land acquisition for environmental restoration • Improve water storage capacity • Improve the timing, quality and distribution of fresh water to coastal estuaries • Implement restoration projects and protection plans for coastal water bodies • Use reservation and allocation authority to protect water for the natural system • Monitor the trends of surface and groundwater quality in inland and receiving waters • Participate in the establishment and maintenance of MFLs in the Basin • Operate water control structures with advanced water release technologies to meet water quality standards of receiving waters • Continue to support implementation and operation of the Picayune Strand and Lake Trafford restoration projects • Support the development and implementation of the Southwest Florida Feasibility Study • Increase understanding of coastal ecosystems through applied scientific research • Assist local governments with implementation of coastal water body restoration projects • Assist in the development of technical criteria for water reservations and minimum flows and levels • Stay abreast of emerging water quality and environmental issues DELIVERABLES AND MILESTONES • Complete Lake Trafford Phase III •Assess biological indicators for Lake • Complete Lake Trafford Watershed • Implement Lake Trafford Watershed Management Plan Dredging Trafford ( Management Plan -Start identifying water quality impairments in Lake Trafford PICAYUNE STRAND RESTORATION PROJECT -Coordinate local sponsor construction management for Merritt and Faka Union • Coordinate local sponsor construction -Coordinate local sponsor construction -Implement operations of pump pump stations management for Faka Union and management for levees and canal/ stations Miller pump stations road removal • Complete Southwest Florida Feasibility Study -Complete BCB Saltwater intrusion -Implement BCB Saltwater Intrusion Monitoring Network Improvement Plan Monitoring Network Improvement Plan • Monitor Collier County surface water quality • Monitor Collier County groundwater quality • Initiate development of Naples Bay • Complete calibration / verification of • Complete development of Naples • Update and begin implementation Hydrodynamic Model Naples Bay Hydrodynamic Model Bay Hydrodynamic Model of the Naples Bay SWIM Plan • Florida Department of Environmental Protection completes Naples Bay salinity and water quality monitoring -Complete peer review of BCB models • Maintain, enhance and apply BCB integrated surface water - groundwater model for operational planning, flood events and evolving environmental issues • Maintain, enhance BCB real -time hydrologic modeling system for flood warning —� BCB — Big Cypress Basin CERP — Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan SWIM — Surface Water Improvement and Management \ .

The Big Cypress Basin supports the SFWMD's regulatory authority by providing permit review to ensure protection of the Basin's environmental and water resources. The Basin also participates in the development and implementation of the Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan. Because traditional sources of water are limited, the plan focuses on alternative water supplies and conservation to address future demands. Technical and financial assistance is provided to local governments for projects enhancing stormwater management, alternative water supply, ecosystem restoration and water conservation education. In addition, the Basin actively looks for, and implements, opportunities to expand public involvement and intergovernmental coordination. Staff routinely participates in community outreach events and water resource educational programs to share information about water resource management and protection. STRATEGIES • Develop and implement the regional water supply plan in coordination with local governments to meet the current and future demands of water users and the environment • Strengthen the linkage between land use and water supply planning through coordination and water use permit review with local governments and public water supply utilities • Create financial and other incentives for regional solutions to develop alternative water supplies and water conservation • Update regional models and analysis to assist in determining water sustainability in the Basin • Implement the SFWMD Comprehensive Water Conservation Program • Update the ground and surface water database and complete numerical modeling and empirical analyses to address water resource planning and operational issues in the Basin • Implement projects to increase storage and groundwater recharge • Support local governments in implementing stormwater improvement projects .. .. ,.
