Copies of the report must also be provided to the chairs of legislative committees having substantive or fiscal jurisdiction over water management districts and the governing boards of all counties having jurisdiction or deriving funds for operations of the District. Each report must also be made available to the public in either a printed or electronic format. The March 1, 2010, NWFWMD Consolidated Annual Report includes seven required reports, as specified in Section 373.036(7)(b), F.S. These are: . The District Water Management Plan Annual Report; . The Minimum Flows and Levels Annual Priority List (per s. 373.042(2), F.S.); . The annual Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (s. 373.536(6)(a)3, F.S.); . The final annual Five-Year Water Resource Development Work Program (s.373.536(6)(a)4, F.S.); . The Alternative Water Supplies Annual Report (s. 373.1961(3)(n), F.S.); . The Florida Forever Water Management District Work Plan Annual Report (s.373.199(7), F.S.); and . The Mitigation Donation Annual Report (s.373.414(1)(b)2, F.S.). In addition to the required sections, each district may also include additional information on the status or management of water resources as deemed appropriate. This report includes one optional element, a Surface Water Improvement and Management Program and Watershed Restoration Summary Report. The summary report focuses on project implementation under the framework of the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program. These reports are provided in the following chapters and provide a current status of a number of District programs, including land acquisition and management, watershed restoration, water resource development, and alternative water supply development. Among the programs and accomplishments reported are the following: . The District continues implementation of the Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP) program for northwest Florida. During the second year of Phase I (stormwater) ending in September 2009, District staff issued 419 permits. Also during 2009, several public workshops were held throughout northwest Florida on the proposed Phase II (wetland permitting) rule as well as best management practices for stormwater implementation. Phase II, enhancing protection for wetlands connected to other surface waters, and isolated wetlands not previously protected by state law in northwest Florida, is expected to be implemented in 2010. www.nwfwmd.state.fl.us/permits/permits-ERP.html (District Water Management Plan Annual Report). The District completed an updated water supply assessment in May 2009. The assessment includes demand projections and a resource assessment through 2030. Total water use is projected to increase by 43% during the 2005-2030 planning horizon to approximately 496 MGD by 2030. The Water Supply Assessment Update recommends continued water supply planning efforts in regions II, III and V and does not identify any new regions that need a regional water supply plan. The water demand i projections will be updated again in 2013. (District Water Management Plan Annual Report, Water Supply) . The District is developing plans to interconnect water utilities in coastal communities from Gulf Breeze to Port St. Joe (Santa Rosa County through Gulf County). The project will provide planning, engineering, modeling, design, permitting, and construction services for the implementation of regional water system interconnects with the objective of increasing water supply reliability coastal panhandle communities in the event of water shortages resulting from environmental emergencies, natural disasters, or system failures. In April, the District hired a contractor through a competitive selection process to provide the services for implementation of the project. (District Water Management Plan Annual Report, Water Supply) . During 2009, the District acquired over 1,600 acres to protect the Chipola River. The middle Chipola River corridor consists of 3.5 miles of river frontage, including the Look-N-Tremble rapids, located north and south of County Road 274 in Calhoun County. The acquisition includes three perennial streams and seven diverse upland and wetland habitat types. The District plans to make the area available for recreation activities, subject to public input. These may include canoeing, tubing, hiking, fishing, hunting, birding, primitive camping and nature appreciation. (District Water Management Plan Annual Report; Florida Forever Five Year Work Plan) . Through the end of 2009, the District has acquired 221,697 of the 380,160 acres identified in the 2009 Florida Forever Land Acquisition Work Plan through fee and less-than-fee purchases and donation. Of this, 172,997 acres of floodplain have been acquired of 286,738 floodplain acres identified. This comprises 60 percent of the area identified as vulnerable to flooding and represents significant progress by the District in floodplain protection. (District Water Management Plan Annual Report; Florida Forever Five Year Work Plan) . Work continues on the Flood Map Modernization program implemented in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). During FY 2008-2009, final effective digital flood insurance rate maps (DFIRMs) were completed for Bay, Gadsden, and Leon counties. Previously completed final effective DFIRMs have been completed for Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Gulf counties. Preliminary DFIRMS have been completed in Calhoun, Holmes, Jackson, Washington, and Walton counties, and work continues on updating maps in Franklin, Jefferson, Liberty and Wakulla counties. www.nwfwmdfloodmaps.com (District Water Management Plan Annual Report, Flood Protection and Floodplain Management) . The Governing Board approved an update to the St. Marks River SWIM Plan in August 2009. The plan presents strategies to sustain watershed resources and ecosystems from Lake Miccosukee to Apalachee Bay. Improving stormwater treatment continues to be a priority, along with protection of springs and their ground water contribution areas. Other priorities include assessment of estuarine fresh water needs, habitat restoration, and education and outreach. The plan provides a framework for District management actions and local government grant-funded projects to protect and improve water and habitat quality in the watershed. (District Water Management Plan Annual Report, Water Quality) . The District has completed acquisition of detailed elevation data, acquired through use of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, for nearly the entire District. This process has been a cooperative effort involving federal, state, and local governments. The District is continuing to process these data and, with local government support, is seeking efficient and effective ways to distribute it via the internet for public use. (District Water Management Plan Annual Report) ii . District-wide, ten alternative water supply development and water resource development projects have been approved for funding through the Water Protection and Sustainability Program. Over $21 million dollars in grant funding have been awarded for projects that are expected to provide over 35 MGD of alternative water supplies. (Alternative Water Supplies Annual Report) . The District continues to assist local governments with previously approved capital improvement projects that will provide water quality and aquatic and wetland ecosystem benefits. To date, over $21.8 million in grant funding

  • State 404 Program Applicant's Handbook
    STATE 404 PROGRAM APPLICANT’S HANDBOOK This Handbook, including Appendices A and B only is incorporated by reference in subsection 62-331.010(5), F.A.C. Effective [date] FOR: FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Introduction The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“Department” or “DEP”) developed this Applicant’s Handbook to help persons understand the rules, procedures, standards, and criteria that apply to the State 404 Program under Part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes (F.S.). The Department administers and implements the State 404 Program. In the event the Department seeks and receives approval from EPA pursuant to 40 CFR 233.16 to modify the program to delegate implementation of the State 404 Program to Florida’s five Water Management Districts (“Districts”), the Districts may then implement the program with Department oversight. The State 404 Program Applicant’s Handbook refers to these entities collectively as “Agencies” and also refers to one or more water management districts as “District” or “Districts” (capitalized), respectively. The term “district” (lower case) generally refers to the main or field offices of either the Department or District. The Districts are: Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD) Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD) St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) The primary State 404 Program rules are adopted by DEP as Chapter 62-331 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). This Applicant’s Handbook is incorporated by reference in subsection 62-331.010(5), F.A.C., and therefore operates as a rule of the Agencies.

    Santa Rosa County Local Mitigation Strategy SECTION 3 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT 3.1 Santa Rosa County Local Mitigation Strategy This page intentionally left blank. 3.2 Santa Rosa County Local Mitigation Strategy HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT Introduction This section of the Santa Rosa County LMS summarizes the results of a hazards and vulnerability assessment process undertaken by the Task Force members and includes a description of the types of hazards that may affect Santa Rosa County, their probability of occurrence, the geographic locations that are vulnerable, the number of structures and population affected, and potential loss estimates. This information, gathered from a variety of sources, provides the best available data for describing and quantifying the potential impacts to Santa Rosa County and is consistent with the County’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Primary attention is given to natural hazards considered reasonably possible to occur in the County as identified thorough research by staff, input from members and citizens, and data provided by FEMA and other sources. These hazards include: Flooding (Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, and Thunderstorms) Severe Storms and Lightning (Including Hurricane Winds) Tornadoes and Waterspouts Wildfire Heat Waves and Drought Winter Storms and Freezes Erosion Tsunamis/Rogue Waves This update of the LMS omits hazards noted in prior versions that are unlikely to occur in Santa Rosa County. Those hazards are earthquake, avalanche, land subsidence, landslide, volcano, and sinkholes. The previous LMS also identified dam/levee failure as a separate hazard; however, the dams in Santa Rosa County are fairly small in size and impacts from failures fall within the broader hazard category of flooding.
