  • Comprehensive River Management Plan
    September 2011 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WEKIVA WILD AND SCENIC RIVER SYSTEM Florida __________________________________________________________________________ The Wekiva Wild and Scenic River System was designated by an act of Congress on October 13, 2000 (Public Law 106-299). The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 USC 1247) requires that each designated river or river segment must have a comprehensive river management plan developed. The Wekiva system has no approved plan in place. This document examines two alternatives for managing the Wekiva River System. It also analyzes the impacts of implementing each of the alternatives. Alternative A consists of the existing river management and trends and serves as a basis for comparison in evaluating the other alternative. It does not imply that no river management would occur. The concept for river management under alternative B would be an integrated program of goals, objectives, and actions for protecting and enhancing each outstandingly remarkable value. A coordinated effort among the many public agencies and entities would be needed to implement this alternative. Alternative B is the National Park Service’s and the Wekiva River System Advisory Management Committee’s preferred alternative. Implementing the preferred alternative (B) would result in coordinated multiagency actions that aid in the conservation or improvement of scenic values, recreation opportunities, wildlife and habitat, historic and cultural resources, and water quality and quantity. This would result in several long- term beneficial impacts on these outstandingly remarkable values. This Environmental Assessment was distributed to various agencies and interested organizations and individuals for their review and comment in August 2010, and has been revised as appropriate to address comments received.

  • Study Area Development Part 2
    2. Study Area Guiding Principles The recommended study area is intended to meet the purpose and need of the project and minimize impacts to the social, cultural, natural and physical environment. A study area is a large area that is wide enough to contain several options for transportation improvements. The following “Guiding Principles” were used to identify the general study area within which a range of alternatives would be evaluated: • Follows, where feasible, existing road alignments through environmentally sensitive areas; • Minimizes direct impacts to wetlands; • Minimizes impacts on springshed and ground water recharge areas; • Serves an identified long-term regional transportation need; • Attempts to improve the connectivity of existing wildlife areas; • Relieves or removes traffic demands on SR 46 and provides a North-South connection from SR 46 to US 441 with limited interchanges; • Minimizes impacts to habitat and species; • Avoids, or mitigates if required, impacts on conservation lands and their proper management; • Seeks to minimize impacts on existing neighborhoods and residential communities; and, • Does not encourage or promote additional development from already approved land uses. 3. Composite Constraint Mapping The major features from the social, cultural, and natural environmental constraints were layered together to create a composite area map showing the major constraints and areas of concern (see Exhibit G-5). Areas without major constraints represent the most reasonable areas for alternatives development. These

Springs have historically played an important role in Florida’s history. The Wekiva River is a spring-fed system associated with about 19 springs connected to the Floridan aquifer. With increased urbanization and population growth in this region, there has been an increased strain on the water levels of Floridan aquifer which is a major source of potable water.

  • Rights of the Wekiva River and Econlockhatchee River Final
    2020 ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION (CRC) January 22, 2020 Rights of the Wekiva River and Econlockhatchee River Committee Committee Members: Eugene Stoccardo, Chair John E. Fauth Anthony (Tony) Suarez James R. Auffant Nikki Mims Background On July 10, 2019, the 2020 Charter Review Commission (the “CRC”) considered a proposal from Member Eugene Stoccardo in favor of establishing an evaluation topic the Rights of the Wekiva River and Econlockhatchee River. The CRC voted 7 – 5 to establish the evaluation topic and 12 – 0 to create a separate committee to examine the issue and report its findings back to the CRC. Thereafter, on November 6, 2019, the CRC voted 8 - 4 to expand the evaluation topic to include all bodies of water in Orange County, as the basins of the two rivers comprise a huge portion of Orange County. Summary of Recommendation Beginning on July 25, 2019, the Rights of the Wekiva River and Econlockhatchee River Committee (the “Committee”) held 12 public meetings to hear public input and consider proposals regarding the creation of “Rights of Nature”1 for the Wekiva and Econlockhatchee Rivers, the violation of which would be actionable by citizens of Orange County and by Orange County itself. On November 6, 2019, with the approval of the CRC, the scope of the Committee’s area of inquiry expanded to all bodies of water in Orange County. Over the course of multiple meetings the Committee considered and analyzed several drafts of proposed amendments provided to the Committee and prepared by representatives of a group called the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund and other local environmental activists 1 According to the website, https://therightsofnature.org, Rights of Nature “is the recognition and honoring that Nature has rights.

  • Promise to the Wekiva Magazine
    $5.00 Suggested Donation Dear Neighbor, As residents of Central Florida we are extremely fortunate to share one of Florida’s most treasured ecosystems -- the Wekiva River Basin. The Rotary Club of Seminole County South is committed to the preservation of the Wekiva River and its springs. Those of us who have discovered the beauty of the Wekiva and Rock Springs Run are reminded of the delightful bird songs, cool water, fresh air, amazing scenery, and of course, the fish and wildlife. Today the river system is in trouble. Excessive nitrates flowing from the springs feed algae that smothers the indigenous eel grass, fertilizes exotic plant species and degrades the river’s ecology. Scientists who have studied the river system tell us that spring flow to the Wekiva River is decreasing. Declining water resources also have an adverse affect on the availability of the clean drinking water that we rely upon. Governments alone cannot protect our water resources. This is why Rotary believes that we all should take part in protecting the Wekiva River and its springs. The Rotary Club of Seminole County South has established the Wekiva River Promise as a community service project. Through the Wekiva River Promise program, members of our community are encouraged to make five promises to help protect the Wekiva and its springs. The Promise is sealed with a small donation that will be used to fund education, resource management, and restoration projects within the river basin. We ask each of you to promise the following: 1. I will use less fertilizer, no fertilizer or slow release fertilizer on my lawn; 2.
