Long-Term Plan Annual Update

Tracey Piccone, P.E.

Long-Term Plan Update Long-Term Plan Update



First minor revision to the Plan was approved on April 15, 2004 Integration with CERP by providing unused funds to

assist with Bolles & Cross Canal project surveying workMajor revisions to Part 2 of the October 27, 2003

version of the Plan were submitted to FDEP in November 2004 Modification of STA Enhancements Addition of STAs on Compartments B and C (Acceler8) Addition of the Regional Feasibility Study (Acceler8) Addition of recreational facilities at all STAs FDEP approved revisions in December 2004

Approved Revisions to Approved Revisions to PlanPlan



Additional major revisions to Part 2 were submitted to FDEP in November 2005Revisions to STA Enhancements

• STA-1W Cell 1 enhancements schedule revised (1-yr extension from FY06 to FY07)

• G-304 automation schedule revised (1-yr extension from FY05 to FY06)

• STA-3/4 Cell 1B SAV conversion method revised

FDEP approved revisions in December 2005

Approved Revisions to Approved Revisions to PlanPlan



Proposed Revisions to PlanProposed Revisions to Plan

Current proposal to add Acme Basin B Project to LTP Originally a CERP project with undetermined plan for

addressing runoff Discharges now planned to be treated in STA-1E Project goals consistent with the LTP goals Adding to LTP will allow project completion by

12/2006 (original schedule) and will provide dedicated funding source

Project includes canal improvements, pump stations and a detention area

Capital cost estimate: $27 million (approx.)




Current proposal to revise following LTP components: Process Development and Engineering (PDE)

components • ECP Operations Monitoring• Analysis and Interpretation• PSTA Investigations• PSTA Demonstration Project STA-3/4• Hydrologic and Hydraulic Assessment• Internal Measurements• Comparative Analysis• Lake Okeechobee Long-Term Trends• Determine Water Quality Relationships in EPA• Adaptive Implementation

ECP Compliance Monitoring




Proposed revision to ECP Operations Monitoring

Additional interior monitoring associated with the expanded treatment areas for STA-2 and STA-5




Proposed revisions to Analysis and Interpretation Change to annual reporting of monthly mass-in

mass-out Add baseline sediment cores for expanded treatment

areas Sediment cores for all STAs every 3 years Use either annual vegetation maps or aerial maps Eliminate routine annual vegetation sampling

• Perform on as-needed basis Use Adaptive Implementation for STA optimization Add five years to this project to evaluate expanded

treatment areas




Proposed revision to PSTA Investigations PSTA field scale project ended FY04 – reduced

funding needed in FY05 and FY06 Add two years and $100,000 per year for tracking

of related PSTA projects to incorporate results from USACE PSTA project in STA-1E

Proposed revision to PSTA Demonstration Project STA-3/4 Add one year to operation and monitoring phase

• Slow start due to delay in telemetry installation




Proposed revision to Hydrologic and Hydraulic Assessment, Internal Measurements, and Comparative Analysis Date of second tracer dependent upon

completion of STA-2 Cell 3 internal levee Approximate completion date: 2009

earliest to 2011 latest Extend completion dates out accordingly

for these three projects




Proposed revision to Lake Okeechobee Long-Term Trends Plan recommended activity in FY04 and

FY09 Proposed revision is to conduct ongoing

coordination with Lake Okeechobee staff in FY06 through FY09

Incorporate results into STA performance projections and analyses




Proposed revision to Determine Water Quality Relationships in EPA Extend completion date by 2 years (from

FY05 to FY07) District to work with FDEP, DOI

consultants, and others to determine relationships

District to provide funding for soil reflux study to provide information for updating & calibrating model(s)




Proposed revision to Adaptive Implementation Add Real Time Monitoring of Phosphorus at

STA Structures ($150k over 6 years) Add Strategies for Vegetation Management

in STAs ($1.2 million over 5 years) Miscellaneous activities in FY06

• STA-1W Cell 5 drawdown and enhancements



Proposed revision to ECP Compliance Monitoring Additional compliance monitoring

associated with the expanded treatment area for STA-5
