Chloride Data, 2009 (updated July 2015)

Chloride data used in the approximation of the 250 mg/L isochlors for the east coast and west coasts, water table, Biscayne, surficial, Lower Tamimai, Sandstone, and Mid-Hawthorn aquifers. Well and chloride data were obtained from USGS and SFWMD records. The line marks an approximation of the farthest inland extent of the saltwater interface as defined by the 250 mg/L chloride concentration. The isochlor is based on the average of available chloride values for the period of April/May 2009. Chloride and well data from the SFWMD have been furnished by Permittees and have not been validated. Chloride and well data from the USGS are available via waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis.

Excess Precipitation - Floridan, Biscayne and Surficial Aquifers

Excess Precipitation - Kissimmee Basin, Upper East Coast, Lower East Coast and Lower West Coast Regions / Floridan Aquifer. Protection of ground-water recharge areas against continued intrusion from urban expansion is becoming a primary concern among local governments within south Florida; a region whose population depends almost exclusively on ground water to meet its potable water demands. The Florida Legislature, by enacting various statutes, requires the water management districts to provide recharge area information to local governments in an effort to assist these agencies with the development and subsequent implementation of appropriate water resource policies.As a result, the South Florida Water Management District undertook a project to map recharge (as a consequence of infiltration and leakage) for all of the primary public water supply aquifer systems within its four planning regions.Recharge maps, at a scale of 1:300,000, were compiled for the unconfined Biscayne aquifer (Lower East Coast Planning Region), the unconfined Surficial aquifer system (Lower East Coast, Upper East Coast, and Lower West Coast Planning Regions), the semi-confined lower Tamiami and Sandstone aquifers (Lower West Coast Planning Region), and the semi-confined to confined upper Floridan aquifer (Kissimmee Basin Planning Region). The maps delineate average yearly rates of precipitation recharge or leakage, depending on the type of aquifer system(s) portrayed, as well as excess precipitation estimates (i.e. rainfall minus actual evapotranspiration losses) for each planning region. Recharge rates were determined from data sets extracted from existing regional numerical ground-water flow models representing a ten-year period (1980 through 1990), and standardized to long-term average or “normal” precipitation trends. A geographic information system (GIS) was employed to integrate the various data necessary in producing the final maps.Because of the large scale nature and the assumptions inherent within the data bases employed for completion of this project, the resulting map products are intended to be used as regional ground-water resource management planning aids only, and are not considered applicable for site-specific assessments.

Lake Okeechobee Littoral Vegetation (1972-1973)

This polygon feature class defines the extent and type of littoral vegetation within the western marsh portion of Lake Okeechobee between Belle Glade and the Kissimmee River (including Eagle Bay Island). The map was completed by interpreting aerial imagery collected in 1972-1973. This mapping effort did not include submersed macrophytes which extended into deeper water beyond the emergent, floating-leaved, and floating zone. At that time, this portion of the vegetated littoral zone encompassed nearly 39,000 ha (96,400 acres) or 21 percent of the lake area. Dominant vegetation included cattail [Typhu spp.; 9,700 ha.(24,000 acres)], spikerush [Eleochuris ceZZuZosu;7,100 ha. (17,500 acres)], beakrush [Rhynchosporu tracyi; 6,100 ha (15,000 acres)], willow [Sulk caroliniana; 4,200 ha (10,400 acres)], mixed grasses [Panicum spp., Puspulum notatum, Cynodon dactylon, Eleusine indicu; 3,900 ha(9,600 acres)], wire cordgrass [Spurtinu bakeri; 2,800 ha(6,900 acres)], and bulrush [Scripus culifornicus, 1,000 ha (2,500 acres)].

Flood Protection Permits

C-4 EDB permit provides improved flood protection. The individual permits are as follows: The C-4 EDB provides improved flood protection for the City of Sweetwater and surrounding areas during extreme storm events by providing 3,264 acre-feet (ac-ft) of aboveground storage for floodwaters. During a major storm event, the C-4 EDB pumps convey floodwaters from the C-4 canal into the storage detention basins (both Phase I and Phase II), which helps reduce flooding of the area further east. After the event and stages in the C-4 canal have returned to normal, the floodwaters discharge from the EDB back to the C-4 canal and eventually to tide. Construction of the water management infrastructure was certified complete in May 2005, and the facility became administratively operational in November 2006.

Precipitation Recharge Areas - Surficial and Biscayne Aquifers

Recharge: Lower East Coast/Surficial-Biscayne, Upper East Coast/Surficial-Biscayne, and Lower West Coast/Surficial.

CREMP Core Species Richness Table

The primary goal of the Coral Reef Evaluation and Monitoring Project (CREMP) is to measure the status and trends of these communities to assist managers in understanding, protecting, and restoring the living marine resources of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Data from the project will be used to determine (1) overall net increase or decrease in stony coral percent cover and stony coral species richness, (2) overall net change in measurable reef community parameters, (3) changes observed in individual reef communities with no overall change on a landscape scale (decreases in one location balanced by increases elsewhere) or changes that are linked to specific regions of the landscape. Each of these potential mechanisms of change will result in different spatial patterns of change. A Sanctuary-wide, rather than a single-location survey, is necessary to detect ecosystem change. These data participate in a one (stationID) - to - many (samples) relationship with the Coral Reef Evaluation and Monitoring Project (CREMP) Locations based upon the stationID fields. These data can be found here: [http://geodata.myfwc.com/datasets/02659342308142349932ab101c1d8a6b_14]
