# ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The Upper Ocklawaha River Basin Management Action Plan was prepared as part of a

statewide watershed management approach to restore and protect Florida’s water quality. It

was developed by the Upper Ocklawaha Basin Working Group (BWG), identified below, with

participation from affected local, regional, and state governmental interests; elected officials and

citizens; and private interests.

The BWG would like to give special thanks to Ray Sharp and Marj Allman of the city of

Leesburg for providing a comfortable place for the working group’s meetings, and arranging for

morning snacks and working lunches. The BWG also would like to thank the Technical Working

Group (TWG), whose members spent many hour s unraveling technical details and developing

information for the BWG. Special recognition goes to Mary Paulic, who coordinated and

contributed greatly to the TWG’s work, and to Rolly Fulton and David Walker of the St. Johns

River Water Management District, for their expert and patient technical and drafting assistance

in the development of the Basin Management Action Plan.

# 2007 UPPER OCKLAWAHA RIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT

ACTION PLAN ADDRESSING THE 2003 TMDLS

The Upper Ocklawaha River Basin Management Ac tion Plan (BMAP) was developed by basin

stakeholders over a two-year period. The BM AP addresses waters in the Upper Ocklawaha

River Basin that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has identified as

impaired, for which Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) have been established. The BMAP

does not address all of the water quality issues in the basin but focuses on reducing total

phosphorus (TP) 1 

# discharges to surface waters that are identified as impaired. The BMAP

documents the management actions that have been or will be undertaken by local, regional,

state, or private entities to reduce the amount of TP released into the basin.

Reducing the discharges of TP into the basin will help achieve water quality standards and

designated uses established by DEP. DEP has designated that the water quality of the Upper

Ocklawaha River Basin should be suitable for recreational use and for the propagation and

maintenance of a healthy, well-balanced population of fish and wildlife. The TP reductions

achieved by the management actions included in the BMAP will help the Upper Ocklawaha

River Basin attain this designated use.

While developing the BMAP, the Upper Ocklawaha Basin Working Group (BWG) discussed the

basin’s water quality issues and placed each issue into one of three categories. Primary issues

are directly linked to TMDLs and were targeted during this BMAP cycle. Secondary issues are

those that generally result from impacts of the pr imary issues. Finally, other issues that did not

have a substantial link to the current TMDLs were also identified.

This BMAP presents a plan for reducing nutrient l oadings in the basin using a phased approach.

During the first five-year cycle, the BWG members will focus on reducing the larger pollution

sources. The BWG members will also be evaluating other pollution sources that require

additional research or that represent a relatively smaller percentage contribution to the total

loading. The adopted BMAP reflects this phased implementation of TMDLs. The BMAP should

be considered a working document. It is a plan that outlines management actions, establishes a

strategy to monitor implementation and water quality trends, and establishes a framework for

adapting the plan when needed. The plan is discussed in further detail in the following sections.



# AP.1. Background

The Upper Ocklawaha BMAP has been developed as part of DEP’s TMDL Program

(authorized by the Florida Watershed Restoration Act [FWRA] [Section 403.067, Florida

Statutes [F.S.]). DEP implements the act using a watershed management approach that

includes a five-year rotating basin cycle. Each year of the cycle represents a different

activity for the waters within a given basin group, as follows: Initial Basin Assessment,

1 

# TP is the combined measurement of phos phorus as orthophosphate (PO4), other inorganic phosphorus compounds, and organic

phosphorus compounds found in water and expressed as amounts of phosphorus. TP is used in aquat ic science as a measure of

the biological productivity of a waterbody. It is one of t he primary nutrients regulating algal and macrophyte growth in natu ral

waters, particularly in fresh water. While it is essential to the growth of plants and other organisms in aquatic systems, exc essive

amounts increase the rate of plant growth and cause accelerat ed eutrophication and algal blooms. Phosphorus is a limiting nutr ient

in many ecosystems, meaning that its availability controls t he growth rate of plants and other organisms. Orthophosphate, the form

in which almost all inorganic forms of phosphorus are found in t he water column, can enter the aquatic environment in a number of

ways. Natural processes transport phosphate to water through at mospheric deposition, ground water percolation, and terrestrial

runoff. Municipal treatment plants, industr ies, agriculture, stormwater runoff, and ot her domestic activiti es also contribute to

phosphate loading through direct discharge and natural transport mechanisms. .

# Final August 14, 2007

# Strategic Monitoring, Data Analysis and TMDL Development, Basin Management Action

Plan Development ; and Basin Management Action Plan Implementation. At the end of

each five-year, five-phase cycle, a new cycle begins for each group of basins in which

additional waters may be identified for TMDL establishment and implementation.

The Upper Ocklawaha River Basin is located mostly in Lake County. It also encompasses

the northwest portion of Orange County, southern Marion County, and the northern part of

Polk County. The basin includes the following waterbodies of interest:

 Lake Apopka and the Apopka-Beauclair Canal;

 The Clermont Chain of Lakes (Minneola, Minnehaha, and Louisa, along with 12 other

smaller lakes), connected by the Palatlakaha River;

 The Harris Chain of Lakes including Lakes Harris, Dora, Beauclair, Eustis, Little Harris,

and Carlton, Dead River; Dora Canal and Trout Lake along with

 Lake Griffin and Lake Yale, the Yale-Griffin Canal, some tributaries to Lake Griffin,

Emeralda Marsh, and Haynes Creek.



# AP.2. Total Maximum Daily Loads

TMDLs are water quality targets for waterbodies that DEP has identified as impaired for

specific pollutants (such as TP, total nitrogen [TN], and others). TMDLs, which DEP

adopts by rule, establish the maximum amount of specific pollutants that a waterbody can

assimilate while maintaining water quality standards, which are indicated by designated

uses. All surface waters (including wetlands) in the Upper Ocklawaha River Basin are

designated as Class III waters in accordance with Rule 62-302, Florida Administrative

Code (F.A.C.), meaning that they must have suitable water quality for recreational use

and for the propagation and maintenance of a healthy, well-balanced population of fish

and wildlife.

To establish a TMDL, DEP assesses each impaired waterbody, the pollutant(s)

contributing to the impairment, and the amount of the pollutant(s) entering the waterbody

during a specified period. DEP then determines the level of pollutant(s)—the TMDL—that

each waterbody can receive and still maintain its Class III designated use (the TMDL),

and calculates the corresponding pollutant reduction needed to achieve the TMDL.

Ten waterbodies in the basin did not meet their designated uses and were verified by DEP

as impaired. TP is the primary pollutant contributing to the impairment of all these

waterbodies. In Trout Lake and the Palatlakaha River, TN contributes to the problem, and

biological oxygen demand (BOD) is also identified as a pollutant contributing to the

impairment in the Palatlakaha River.

In 2003, DEP adopted TMDLs for the following 10 impaired waterbodies and associated

tributary and connecting canals and streams (e.g., Haynes Creek, Dead River, ApopkaBeauclair Canal, Dora Canal, Helena Run, Apopka Spring, and Yale-Griffin Canal) in the

Upper Ocklawaha River Basin:

# AP.3. BMAP Process

The BMAP development process is structured to achieve cooperation and consensus

among a broad range of interested parties. Stakeholder involvement is essential to

develop, gain support for, and secure commitments to implement the BMAP. Under

statute, DEP invited stakeholders to participate in the Upper Ocklawaha BMAP

development process and encouraged public participation to the greatest practicable

extent. DEP held three noticed public meetings in the basin to discuss and receive

comments during the planning process.

In June 2004, DEP convened the Upper Ocklawaha BWG to develop a BMAP to achieve

the TMDLs for the basin. Stakeholders chose unanimously to establish one BWG, with

the option of creating small working groups to address specific concerns or issues.

Members of the BWG comprise these subgroups, which meet separately from the BWG.

The BWG, which is made up of stakeholder members representing a variety of entities,

took a consensus-based, collaborative approach when making decisions on the content of

the BMAP. It was necessary to define what constitutes a consensus agreement for the

BWG, short of unanimous agreement. However, the BWG concluded that accepting a

proposal without full unanimity would be a default position, when necessary to move the

process forward and to complete development of the BMAP on schedule. The BWG

agreed to make every effort to develop proposals that all members could support. Table

AP.2 summarizes the Upper Ocklawaha River BWG organizational structure, process,

membership, and citizen involvement efforts.

The members of the BWG met nearly monthly from June 2004 through June 2006 with

subsequent meetings on November 9, 2006; January 25, 2007; and April 21, 2007. To

solicit participation from the general public, ads announcing the BWG meeting were

periodically placed in the local newspaper, the Daily Commercial . As discussion with

BWG members proceeded to a point where decisions about the specific responsibilities of

each partner were discussed, meetings were formally noticed in the Florida Administrative

Weekly . The BWG created a Technical Working Group (TWG) with the responsibility of

providing a technical review of issues before the BWG and reporting that information back

to the BWG for their discussion. The TWG met on an as-needed basis at the request of

the BWG and usually in conjunction with a BWG meeting.

Four public meetings/workshops were also held (on April 15, 2004; March 10, 2005;

November 10, 2005; and May 18, 2006) to solicit comments from all interested parties,

disseminate information, and allow for public discussion. In addition, a number of special

briefings and presentations were carried out as needed for city councils, county

commissions, elected official liaisons from local governments, special interest groups,

community organizations, and others.

# AP.3.1. Allocations

The TMDL provides a basis for allocating acceptable loads among all of the known

pollutant sources in a watershed, so that appropriate control measures can be

implemented and water quality standards achieved. An adopted TMDL is expressed as

the sum of all point source load allocations, nonpoint source load allocations, and an

implicit or explicit MOS, which takes in to account any uncertainty concerning the

relationship between effluent limitations and water quality.

Under the FWRA (Subsection 403.067[7], F.S.), the TMDL allocation may be an “initial”

pollutant allocation of allowable pollutant loads among point and nonpoint sources. In

such cases, the “detailed” allocation to specific point sources and specific categories of

nonpoint sources must be established in the BMAP. The FWRA further states that the

BMAP may make detailed allocations to individual “basins” (i.e., sub-basins) or to all

basins as a whole, as appropriate. Both initial and detailed allocations must be

determined based on a number of factors listed in the FWRA, including cost-benefit,

technical and environmental feasibility, implementation time frames, and others.

The Upper Ocklawaha BWG agreed that, for the purposes of the initial BMAP, it would not

be appropriate to try to calculate more specific allocations than those adopted as part of

the TMDL. Therefore, the “detailed” allocation chosen was to all sub-basins as a whole,

based on the following considerations:

 There are no significant point sources in the Upper Ocklawaha River Basin. The

complexity of calculating more detailed allocations among nonpoint sources would

demand time and effort that would delay plan development without benefiting the

outcome.

 Major restoration projects by the SJRWMD and the Lake County Water Authority

(LCWA) are projected to substantially reduce pollutant loadings. In addition, Lake

County, Orange County, and various local governments are conducting and planning

significant stormwater projects that will contribute to load reductions. Local

governments in the basin are increasingly taking responsibility for managing their

discharges to surface waters.

 There is a wide range of experience, expertise, and resources among the local

governments and other entities in the basin responsible for stormwater management.

The BMAP process is an opportunity for some to build on their beginning efforts and

for others to share their knowledge and resources.

AP.3.2. Upper Ocklawaha Basin Management Action Plan

The BWG determined that management actions addressing TP, for which all 10

waterbodies in the basin are impaired, should reduce the other pollutants for which

TMDLs were established. Therefore, the BWG focused on developing a plan that would

reduce TP loadings to the impaired waters.

This section provides significant informat ion on the types of management actions being

implemented by the BWG members. Inform ation is provided on the types of actions

considered and programs administered in the basin by the SJRWMD; the Florida

Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS); the LCWA; and Lake,

# Orange, Polk, and Marion Counties. Table AP.3 summarize the net reductions in TP

loading that will be achieved for each of the 10 impaired waterbodies. Tables AP.4

through AP.10 include specific information on individual projects implemented by BWG

members. The tables contain net estimated reduction in TP loads for each project as well

as an estimate of the cost of implementation. The final discussion in this section focuses

on future TP loadings and reductions. Informat ion is provided on how future TP loadings

from growth were considered in this process and how the BWG will investigate and

consider additional management actions over the next 5 years.

The Upper Ocklawaha River BMAP represents the collaborative effort of local

stakeholders in the basin to identify current and planned management actions to achieve

the TMDLS for TP. The management actions (completed, ongoing, and planned)

identified in the BMAP are targeted at addressing both the pollutant loads from historical

and current sources and from the estimated future loads associated with population

growth and associated land use changes in the basin.

The management actions included in the BMAP by the BWG recognize and build on

numerous existing programs that reduce pollu tant loads to the Upper Ocklawaha River

Basin. The BWG relied on the water quality and quantity programs its member

organizations were already implementing as a s ource of projects that addressed the water

quality impairments identified in the Upper Ocklawaha River Basin TMDLs. To meet the

targeted pollutant load reductions, the BMAP includes specific projects from stormwater

control programs (such as the SJRWMD’s Environmental Resource Permit [ERP]

Program), existing land acquisition, water conservation, low impact development (LID)

programs, and programs in response to special areas (i.e, the Wekiva Study Area), as

well as Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program plans

implemented by the SJRWMD. The activities identified in the BMAP complement and

depend on these programs, but do not replace them as a mechanism to achieve the

pollutant reduction goals estimated in the BMAP.

The BWG has developed the Upper Ocklawaha BMAP as a planning document that

presents an overview of the issues and efforts across the basin and summarizes the

implemented and planned activities addressing TP reductions in the basin. Additional

documents that support the projects, studies, and programs may be included in the

BMAP.

The range of management actions identified includes activities such as the following:

 Stormwater Retrofits:

o Paving and drainage upgrades,

o Failing infrastructure replacement and improvement, and

o Sediment and debris collection boxes (baffle boxes).



#  Urban Structural Best Management Practices (BMPs):

o Regional wet detention stormwater ponds, and

o Dry retention stormwater ponds.



#  Urban Nonstructural BMPs:

o Street sweeping, and

# Final August 14, 2007

12 

# o Cleaning up pet waste.

`



#  Habitat Restoration:

o Marsh construction,

o Wetland restoration, and

o Gizzard shad harvesting.



#  Ordinances and Land Development Regulations (LDRs):

o Development guidelines,

o Septic tank ordinances, and

o Local stormwater rules mo re stringent than state or water management district

rules.

 

# Education and Outreach:

o Watershed Action Volunteers (WAV) Program,

o Lakefront property owner’s guides, and

o Water atlases.

 

# Agricultural BMPs:

o Crop rotation,

o Filter strips, and

o Exclusion of livestock from sensitive areas.



# Efforts by the St. Johns River Water Management District

The projects implemented by the SJ RWMD through the Lake Apopka and Upper

Ocklawaha SWIM Plans have significantly reduc ed TP loading to impaired waters in the

basin and improved aquatic habitat throughout the basin. The Lake Apopka and Upper

Ocklawaha SWIM Plans were first adopted in 1987 and 1989, respectively, in compliance

with the 1987 SWIM Act (Sections 373.451–373.4596, F.S.). Further reductions in TP

loading resulting from restoration projects in these SWIM plans are a major component of

the strategy to achieve TMDLs in the basin.

The Upper Ocklawaha River Basin SWIM area includes the Harris Chain of Lakes north of

Lake Apopka and the Upper Ocklawaha River to t he confluence of the Silver River near

SR 40 in Marion County. The restoration efforts of both the Lake Apopka and Upper

Ocklawaha SWIM Plans focus primarily on reducing nutrients and other pollutants in

stormwater that flows into SWIM waterbodies fr om former agricultural areas (muck farms).

Other efforts include in-lake treatment to reduce the recycling of nutrients by harvesting

gizzard shad, re-establishing more natural water level fluctuations and flows, and restoring

aquatic and wetland habitats at former muck farms.

Within the area addressed by the Upper Ockl awaha River BMAP, activities that exceed

SJRWMD permitting thresholds must be authorized by an ERP. To obtain an ERP where

existing ambient water quality does not meet state water quality standards, an applicant

must demonstrate that the proposed activity will result in a net improvement in the

parameters that do not meet water quality standards.

# Efforts by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (and

Private Agricultural Producers)

In addition to the specific management actions identified in the BMAP, the implementation

of agricultural BMPs in the basin contributes to pollutant load reductions. Through the

Office of Agricultural Water Policy (OAWP) and Division of Forestry, DACS develops,

adopts, and implements agricultural BMPs to improve water quality and water

conservation. DACS has adopted by rule BMPs that target the following operations in the

basin:

 Ridge citrus (Rule 5E-1.023, F.A.C.),

 Leatherleaf fern (Rule 5E-1.023, F.A.C.),

 Interim measure for container-grown plants (Rule 5E-1.023, F.A.C.),

 Vegetable and agronomic crops (Rule 5M-8, F.A.C.), and

 Silviculture (Rule 5I-6.002, F.A.C.).

The OAWP’s BMP implementation role involves assisting agricultural producers in

selecting, funding, and maintaining BMPs. OAWP staff and service providers work with

producers to submit Notices of Intent (NOIs) to implement BMPs that identify the

measures appropriate for their operations. Service providers also give technical

assistance to producers and help implement cost-share programs that leverage regional,

state, and federal funds.

Although DACS’ BMP program is nonregulatory, Subsection 403.067(7)(b), F.S., requires

that nonpoint pollutant sources (such as agriculture) included in a BMAP demonstrate

compliance with pollutant reductions established to meet a TMDL, either by implementing

BMPs or conducting water quality monitoring prescribed by DEP or a water management

district. To date, producers in the Upper Ocklawaha River Basin from the Ridge citrus,

container-grown plant, and fern industries have submitted NOIs (covering about 13,500

acres) to implement rule-adopted BMPs.

Efforts by the Lake County Water Authority

The LCWA is a key funding partner for local jurisdictions throughout the basin. This grant

funding has enabled numerous stormwater retrofit projects identified in the BMAP. In

addition, the LCWA is proposing to construct a nu trient reduction facility (NuRF) to further

treat water released from Lake Apopka and provide the timely achievement of TMDL

goals for Lakes Beauclair, Dora, Eustis, and Griffin.

The NuRF will eliminate an additional 65 percent of the TP load to Lake Beauclair. This

reduction will positively affect Lakes Dora, Eustis, and Griffin as well, since the Lake

Apopka discharge represents a significant portion of their hydrologic budget. Additional

TP reduction is important because Lake Apopka’s TMDL target concentration is almost

twice as high as the targets for the lakes downstream. The project’s estimated load

reduction to Lake Beauclair is 5,000 lbs/yr, based on the remaining load to Lake Beauclair

after projected improvements to Lake Apopka by current restoration efforts.

Efforts by Local Governments

Four counties and 15 towns and cities participated in developing the Upper Ocklawaha

BMAP. The BMAP identifies numerous projects completed or proposed by these local

# Final August 14, 2007

14 

# governments that address untreated stormwater discharges to the lakes. The stormwater

retrofit projects include activities ranging from the installation of baffle boxes to the

creation of detention ponds. These governments have also developed ordinances that

address critical issues such as redevelopment requirements, green space, and septic tank

maintenance. The efforts of these jurisdictions are an essential component of the BMAP.

All four counties (Lake, Marion, Orange, and Polk) that contribute to the Upper Ocklawaha

River Basin have established comprehensive programs for addressing pollutant loads, in

addition to individual stormwater retrofit and other treatment projects. Lake County and

Orange County have made significant contributions to pollutant control and load

reductions in the basin.

Lake County has taken a proactive approach toward TMDLs by focusing its basin studies

and concentrating immediate stormwater retrofit efforts on the Upper Ocklawaha River

Basin. These studies will help in the design of cost-effective projects to manage

stormwater and reduce TP loads to TMDL waters. Through cost-share project

partnerships, the county provides additional support to other local governments working to

reduce pollutant loadings.

Orange County has also implemented a variety of programs, including the following:

 The Clean Lakes Initiative Program (CLIP) to provide educational and financial

incentives to help citizens take individual ownership of their lakefront and watershed,

and

 An agreement by the Parks Department to reduce the use of phosphorus fertilizer and

herbicide applications on all parklands.

Marion County has initiated several programs and resource assessment activities, such

as the development of a countywide Watershed Management Plan, a Water Resource

Assessment and Management Study, and a Springshed Protection Program. The

county’s Clean Water Program is partnering with the University of Florida’s Program for

Resource Efficient Communities to develop and conduct seminars on LID options and

results for water resources.

Polk County is not heavily developed in t he area discharging to the Upper Ocklawaha

River Basin. Future development for most of the area is restricted as part of the Green

Swamp Area of Critical State Concern (GSACSC). Development in the remaining

acreage, most of it former citrus groves, will be provided central sewer service and reuse

water for irrigation.

Net Estimated Loadings of Total Phosphorus to TMDL Waters

The BWG calculated a net estimated loading for each sub-basin, beginning with the TP

loads estimated in the TMDL analysis as its baseline. The BWG then factored in the TP

reductions expected from the proposed management actions along with estimated TP

loadings from future development (through 2010). After considering these three factors

(baseline, management actions, and future growth), the BWG determined a net estimated

TP load for each sub-basin.

Starting with the baseline loadings for sources of TP in each sub-basin, the BWG

reviewed the estimated change in TP loading after the implementation of projects and

# Final August 14, 2007

15 

# activities in this plan. This analysis fa ctored in the estimated load reductions from

implemented and planned projects and the estimated loading changes associated with

future growth, resulting in a net estimated TP load for each impaired waterbody.

Implemented projects are those completed as of the end of 2005. Future projects are

those planned for initiation or completion after 2005. The estimated load changes from

future growth are based primarily on future land use maps. These net loadings may be

updated as part of BWG follow-up on BMAP implementation.

The BWG’s analysis also considered changes in the tributary contribution to a

waterbody’s nutrient load. In general, this TP load changes proportionally with the change

in upstream water quality. For example, implemented and future acquisition and

restoration projects in Lake Apopka have improved water quality to the extent that the TP

load to Lake Beauclair, just downstream, will be reduced by 35,752 lbs/yr. These

improvements in upstream water quality are reflected in the nutrient load for each affected

downstream waterbody. A net TP load for the lake or waterbody is estimated after

factoring in all the projected changes in loading.

Figure AP.1 presents a map of the anticipated outcomes of BMAP implementation in the

Upper Ocklawaha River Basin TMDL waters. This map illustrates the importance of

addressing the TP load reductions in Lake Apopka to achieving the targeted load

reductions in the downstream lakes (e.g., Beauclair, Dora, and Eustis). The SJRWMD

restoration and treatment programs provide the most significant load reduction efforts in

the basin. The SJRWMD’s ERP permit requirements will help sustain the water quality

improvements achieved through restoration. The net effect of the load reduction in Lake

Apopka will be to benefit the downstream lakes by reducing the TP load coming into the

lakes.

Table AP.3 presents numeric data on the anticipated outcomes of BMAP implementation

and provides specific details on the current and anticipated load reductions from different

types of activities for each sub-basin. The table also presents the net estimated loading of

TP to TMDL waters in the Upper Ocklawaha River Basin after BMAP implementation of

the proposed management actions. The data presented in the table represent only the

projects that have quantifiable TP load reductions. There are many additional projects

where the TP load reduction cannot be quantified.

Figure AP.1 and Table AP.3 clearly show the large TP load reductions that will be

achieved through BMAP implementation by BW G organizations. The last column of the

table summarizes how more than 244,000 lbs/yr of TP are projected to be removed from

the Upper Ocklawaha River Basin. Although the estimates used in the table and to create

the figure are conservative (e.g., water quality improvements associated with

nonquantifiable load reductions are not considered) they do indicate that additional effort

is needed to achieve all of the targeted TP reductions for all impaired lakes in the basin.

Additional studies and assessments are included as part of the BMAP to characterize the

sources and management opportunities in these sub-basins.

The BMAP presents a plan for reducing nutrient loadings in the basin using a phased

approach. During the first five-year cycle, the BWG members will focus on reducing the

larger pollution sources. The BWG members will also be evaluating other pollution

sources that require additional research or that represent a relatively smaller percentage

contribution to the total loading.

# Final August 14, 2007

16 

# Some issues, such as septic tanks, were not directly addressed during the first five years

of the BMAP implementation, because of they represent a relatively small percentage of

pollutant loading. The relative importance of loadings from some sources (e.g., septic

tanks, future growth) increases after the implementation of the BMAP’s management

actions, which will reduce TP loadings by 244,349 lbs/yr. For these issues, BWG

members are implementing a variety of activi ties. Some will conduct detailed sub-basin

studies to characterize nutrient sources to the lakes and build on existing ordinances, and

may, in some areas, consider additional treatment strategies (e.g., advanced septic

systems design or centralized wastewater treatment facilities). Others may also revise

land use development regulations or update public education strategies to address

nutrient loads. In addition, the communities of Lake County, Mount Dora, Eustis, Orange

County, Apopka, Ocoee, and Winter Garden are participating in an extensive effort to

reduce the water quality impacts on springs and river systems as part of the Wekiva

Springs Protection Effort implementing the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act.

BWG efforts to implement the proposed management actions, monitor their

implementation and water quality trends in the basin, further characterize pollutant

sources, and evaluate additional load reduction options are all critical to a phased

implementation approach. It is especially critic al for the sub-basins that are currently not

projected to achieve the TMDL target (e.g., Lakes Carlton, Harris, and Yale, and Trout

Lake). The additional research and evaluation of options to be conducted by BWG

members is essential. The BWG members involved in these efforts will research the

issues in their communities and make the appropriate management decisions for their

citizens.

With this consideration, the BMAP should be considered a working document that

includes a strong plan of management actions to address the larger pollution sources and

research to improve the understanding of the basin and the additional measures needed

to meet the TMDL targets.

In addition, an adaptive management approach w ill be used during BMAP implementation

to identify and make modifications to the BMAP when circumstances change, or feedback

mechanisms indicate that a more effective strategy is needed. Tracking implementation,

monitoring water quality and pollutant loads, and holding periodic BWG meetings to share

information and expertise are key com ponents of the adaptive management approach to

be used. Sections AP.4 and AP.5 present details of the monitoring, tracking, and followup strategy.

# Cost of BMAP Implementation

The estimated cost of the management actions included in the Upper Ocklawaha BMAP

totals more than $195 million. Funding sources range from local stormwater fees to

regional and state cost-share grants. BWG members will explore new opportunities for

funding assistance as part of BMAP follow-up. This estimate does not include costs for

the implementation of DACS programs and DOT stormwater projects.

Members of the BWG proposed projects that were part of their existing programs, as well

as new projects or programs where additional effort was needed to address pollutant load

reductions. In many cases the projects proposed in the BMAP are jointly funded or

implemented by multiple organizations. The BWG assumed that responsible

organizations considered the proposed projects cost-effective for achieving TP reductions

as well as other community-based benefits (e.g., reducing flooding, eliminating direct

discharges to a lake).

Specific Management Actions Included in the BMAP

Tables AP.4 through AP.10, listed below, summarize the management actions proposed

by the BWG to address the TMDLs in the basin, including structural BMPs; agricultural

BMPs; restoration and water quality improvement projects; regulations, ordinances, and

guidelines; special studies and planning efforts; education and outreach efforts; and basic

stormwater management program implement ation. The tables are extensive and

therefore are provided at the end of the chapter.

# Estimates of Future Loadings from Growth and Future Management Actions

As mentioned above, the TP loadings considered as part of the BMAP included those

associated with future growth across the basin. Consequently, the management actions

considered by stakeholders include pollution prevention activities that address TP

loadings from new development (or redevelopment) through regulations, ordinances, or

guidelines. There are also many management actions in the BMAP aimed at preventing

water quality problems through public and private sector education and outreach.

The preventive management actions are consid ered Lake- and Stream-friendly Activities.

They can include LID planning and engineering, education, and local ordinances or LDRs

that protect water quality by maintaining or enhancing predevelopment water flow and

reducing pollutant loads in developing and urban watersheds.

# Final August 14, 2007

21 

# Tables AP.4 through AP.10 present current Lake- and Stream-friendly Activities

implemented by the BWG, but these activities are predominantly found in Table AP.3

(regulations, ordinances, and guidelines) and Table AP.9 (education and outreach

efforts). The BWG will consider additional Lake- and Stream-friendly Activities through

the following steps:

1. The collection of data/inventory of Lake- and Stream-friendly Activities across the

Upper Ocklawaha River Basin. This will include an inventory of what each

community is currently doing and/or has planned, and an assessment of the

lessons learned from the implementation of these efforts (i.e., level of activity

and success of activity in helping to protect and/or improve water quality).

2. The distribution of a summary of the inventory and the lessons learned by BWG

members during the implementation of these activities. The summary will

identify incentives for and obstacles to implementation and success.

3. The development of a plan for future Lake- and Stream-friendly management

actions in the basin, consideration of existing and new ideas, and identification

of the most effective techniques that should be considered by jurisdictions and

entities in the Upper Ocklawaha River Basin to improve and/or expand the

implementation of key/successful approaches.

4. The creation of proposals for improved, expanded, and/or new activities by

individual jurisdictions and entities, or collectively by the BWG. Proposals will

also include incentives for using LID planning techniques, educational

opportunities, and/or ordinance and policy changes.

DACS also plans to address future agricultural loadings. To meet the intent of the FWRA

with regard to agriculture, from 2007 to 2011 the OAWP will carry out the following

activities:

 Adopt BMP manuals of statewide application for cow/calf, equine, container-grown

plants, in-ground nurseries, and sod operations.

 Intensify its efforts to sign up producers for BMP implementation in the Upper

Ocklawaha River Basin. Field staff will meet with growers and grower organizations to

inform them of existing and new BMP programs and opportunities for cost-share, and

to assist them with BMP selection and NOI submittal.

 Work with UF-IFAS and DEP to identify priority citrus BMPs and verify their

effectiveness.

 Develop a BMP implementation assurance program to follow up with a sample of citrus

producers on whether they are implementing BMPs and keeping records according to

their submitted NOIs.

 Evaluate the need for implementation assurance programs for other commodities in

the basin and develop them on a priority basis, as needed and feasible.

 By April 2008, and annually thereafter, provide to the Upper Ocklawaha BWG an

inventory of NOIs in the basin by BMP program, showing acreages or other applicable

reporting metrics, and key BMPs being implemented.

 By the end of 2011, report to the BWG on:

# Final August 14, 2007

22 

# o The findings of any citrus or other BMP effectiveness projects relevant to the

basin being conducted by or in partnership with the OAWP, and

o The results and progress of any BMP implementation assurance programs being

conducted by the OAWP in the basin.



# AP.4. Monitoring Program

As part of the BMAP, the TWG designed a strategy for monitoring water quality and

measuring pollutant loads. This strategy builds on existing water quality monitoring

program commitments made by DEP, the SJRWMD, Lake County, Orange County, WAV

volunteers, and the LCWA. The strategy addresses monitoring design, quality assurance

(QA), data management, and data interpretation techniques that measure progress in

achieving the TMDLs, while allowing for evaluation and feedback that better refine the

monitoring strategy and provide information to better define how to achieve the TMDLs.

The objectives of the monitoring strategy are as follows:

 Primary Objective: Monitor TMDL waterbodies to:

o Determine whether the target TP concen trations used to develop the TMDLs are

being achieved, and

o Determine whether expected improvements in other water quality indicators are

being achieved.



#  Secondary Objective: Measure loadings of TMDL targeted pollutants as:

o Tributary loadings, and

o Loadings associated with specific sources or projects, as feasible.



# A network of stations representative of the impaired lakes, the tributaries between the

lakes, and the Palatlakaha River are monitored for the water quality indicators listed in

Table AP.11 . Information provided by the monitori ng network will be useful in evaluating

the cost-effectiveness of load reduction strategi es, modifying existing and selecting future

load reduction strategies, coordinating agency/group monitoring efforts to reduce

duplication and conserve resources, and increasing the understanding of the relationship

between pollutant loads and waterbody response.

Data collected by the network are maintained by DEP in a central database available to

partners, and must meet QA requirements set by DEP. Additional interagency data

comparisons and QA checks will be conducted as practical.

Observations of water quality conditions and trends will be reported to the BWG and the

public at least annually. A more complete analysis of trends in the progress made toward

achieving designated use will be made on a five-year basis, corresponding with DEP’s

watershed management cycle.

# AP.5. Tracking and Follow-up Actions

BMAP implementation will be a long-term process. Some key projects with significant

estimated load reductions will extend well beyond the first five years of BMAP

implementation. This means that TMDLs established for the basin likely will not be

achieved in the near term. The BWG will track its implementation efforts and monitor

water quality in TMDL waterbodies (through existing water quality monitoring programs),

to ensure that the BMAP is carried out and to measure its effectiveness. The BWG will

meet periodically (approximately every six months) to discuss implementation issues,

consider new information, and determine other management actions needed for

waterbodies that are not projected to meet their TMDLs.

Each entity responsible for implementing management actions as part of the BMAP will

complete an annual report for submittal to the BWG and DEP. The report will track the

implementation status of any management actions listed in the BMAP and document

additional management actions undertaken to further the water quality improvements in

the basin. The report will primarily comprise a table of data elements such as the

following:

 BMAP project,

 Affected area,

 Brief description,

 Project start/end,

# Final August 14, 2007

24 

#  Project/activity status,

 TP removal estimate,

 Project monitoring results, and

 Comments.

The BWG will review the annual reports to assess progress in meeting the goals of the

BMAP. At its semiannual meetings, the BWG will also develop follow-up steps or

modifications to the agreed-on management acti ons as necessary to achieve the targeted

pollutant reductions.

Adaptive management involves setting up a mechanism for making course corrections in

the BMAP when circumstances change or feedback mechanisms indicate that a more

effective strategy is needed. The FWRA requires that the plan be revised, as appropriate,

in collaboration with basin stakeholders. All or part of a revised BMAP must be adopted

by secretarial order. Adaptive managem ent measures include the following:

 Procedures to determine whether additional cooperative actions are needed,

 Criteria/process for determining whether and when plan components need to be

revised due to changes in costs, environmental impacts, social effects, watershed

conditions, or other factors, and

 Descriptions of the BWG’s role after BMAP completion.

Tracking implementation, monitoring water quality and pollutant loads, and holding

periodic BWG meetings to share information and expertise are key components of

adaptive management.



# AP.6. Commitment to Plan Implementation

While the BMAP is linked by statute to permitting and other enforcement processes that

target individual entities, successful implementation requires that local stakeholders

willingly and consistently work together to achieve adopted TMDLs. This collaboration

fosters the sharing of ideas, information, and resources. The members of the Upper

Ocklawaha BWG have demonstrated their willingness to confer with and support each

other in their efforts.

BWG members have signed individual statements of commitment to BMAP

implementation, or adopted resolutions that were collected and kept by DEP as part of the

record of BMAP development and implementation. Figure AP.2 provides an example of

the statement of commitment, and Table AP-12 (at the end of this chapter) lists the

signatories to the BMAP.

# The Upper Ocklawaha River Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) was finalized as a

consensus document on April 26, 2007, by au thorized representatives of the agencies and

organizations listed as members of the Upper Ocklawaha River Basin Working Group

(BWG).

The signatories of the BMAP agree that, as applicable, their organizations and agencies

will:

 Seek the necessary approvals and funding to implement the consensus

management actions identified in the BMAP, and implement those actions as

required approvals and funding are secured.

 Pursuant to the process agreed upon by the BWG, track the implementation of

management actions for which they are responsible to ensure that the BMAP is

carried out.

 Inform DEP and the BWG of any permanent obstacles to carrying out

management actions for which they are responsible, including technical, funding,

and legal obstacles.

 Conduct water quality monitoring according to the monitoring strategy developed

by the Technical Working Group and approved by the BWG.

 Continue to use a coordinated and comprehensive watershed management

approach to address and achieve TMDL-related pollutant load reductions and

water quality improvements.

 Continue to communicate and coordinate actions and funding across agencies

and programs with regard to BMAP implementation.Final August 14, 200726TABLEAP.4A.STRUCTURALBMPS—QUANTIFIABLELOADREDUCTIONSProject Number -Project NameGeneral Location / DescriptionEstimatedTP LoadReduction(lbs/yr)WaterbodyIdentification(WBID)NumberLead Entity / Funding Source /Project PartnersProject CostProject Status / CompletionDate or AnticipatedCompletion DateDORA04 - SR 500 US441-Basin 300ALake Saunders / US 441 from Lake Eustis Dr. toCounty Road (CR) 44B Basin 300A.
