Minutes of the October 15, 2008, Meeting and Workshop Basin Board members were provided minutes of the October 2008 meeting and workshop for review. Staff Recommendation See Exhibit 1 Approve the October minutes, as presented. Presenter: Lou Kavouras b. Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) – ESDA, Inc. (H511), Manatee County Purpose To request approval to modify a previously Board approved Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) project with ESDA, Inc., and approval to reimburse FARMS eligible costs up to a not-to-exceed limit of $25,000. This project modification is necessary because of the suspension of funds originally pledged by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) due to State budget cuts. The project modification removes FDACS funding and requests the use of 2003 Summary Agenda February 11, 2009 Manasota Basin Board Page 2 of 9 State Appropriations in the amount of $25,000. Total project costs are estimated at $178,126. This project was originally approved at the February 2005 Basin Board meeting. Background/History The District's FARMS program, developed by the District and FDACS, is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practice (BMP) cost-share reimbursement program. FARMS is intended to expedite the implementation of production-scale agricultural BMPs that provide water resource benefits. Resource benefits of the FARMS Program include reduced Floridan aquifer withdrawals, water quality improvements (both from ground water and surface water sources) and/or conservation, restoration and augmentation of the area's water resources and ecology. The District's emphasis through the FARMS program is on reductions in Upper Floridan aquifer withdrawals that will improve ground water conditions as documented in the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) recovery strategy. In addition, the District also provides funding for projects that improve water quality affected by the use of mineralized ground water as documented in the Shell and Prairie Creek Watershed Management Plan – Reasonable Assurance Documentation. Reimbursement cost-share rates are capped at 50 percent for water quantity withdrawal reductions from the Upper Floridan aquifer or water quality improvements realized from decreasing the use of mineralized ground water, and at 75 percent for both water quantity and water quality improvements. FARMS Program staff originally received a project proposal in 2004 from ESDA, Inc., for their dairy located in the Upper Myakka River Watershed, northwest of the town of Myakka City in Manatee County, within the SWUCA. The Water Use Permit for this farm authorizes an annual average groundwater withdrawal of 323,000 gallons per day (gpd) for the irrigation of 200 acres of commercial hay production and 1,640 head of dairy cattle. The goals of this project are to improve water quality and reduce ground water pumping through an expanded capture and reuse system. The project includes the construction and installation of a wastewater storage pond and a surface water runoff storage pond each equipped with an irrigation and flush water recycle pump station with an automatic water level controller. The wastewater management design consists of a waste transfer and recovery canal, sand trap, manure solids separator, and sump area. The ponds will serve two main functions. First, the recycled wastewater or captured surface water from the ponds will be used to irrigate a pasture composed of grasses and legumes, which will offset ground water pumping and reduce downstream nutrient loading through uptake by the pasture crops. Secondly, filtered wastewater and captured surface water will be conveyed to storage tanks and recycled to flush the cattle barns. A Natural Resources Conservation Service engineering analysis estimated water savings of approximately 45,000 gpd by recycling waste storage pond water to the confinement barn flush tanks. This will also reduce downstream nutrient loading impacts. This project is designed to improve onsite water quality, reduce impacts to the ecology of Flatford Swamp and reduce the use of Upper Floridan aquifer groundwater. The project was approved in Fiscal Year 2005 and became partially operational in FY2008. Benefits/Costs The District portion of the project involves primarily water quantity BMPs. Therefore, the project qualifies for a 50 percent cost-share reimbursement rate under the FARMS Program. Using an estimate of 14 percent savings of permitted quantities, or approximately 45,000 gpd, yields a daily cost of $2.51 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over the original five-year contract term, and $0.75 per thousand gallons of groundwater reduced over a thirty-year term. Both projected values for groundwater savings costs are within the guidelines for the generally accepted average Summary Agenda February 11, 2009 Manasota Basin Board Page 3 of 9 cost savings per thousand gallons for the implementation of alternative supplies and improved irrigation techniques for similar operations. Total project costs within the FARMS Scope of Work are estimated at $179,000. As originally approved, funding for the project reimbursement was allocated as 30 percent from State Appropriations and the remaining 70 percent split evenly between FDACS and the Manasota Basin Board. In June 2007 the funding allocations were changed when the FARMS Operating Agreement was amended and approved by the Governing Board. At that time, FDACS assumed full responsibility for funding this and two other projects, and released the District from its funding commitment. However, due to significant recent budgetary cutbacks from the Florida Legislature, FDACS is now unable to satisfy funding commitments for the final phase of this project. FY2003 State Appropriations to the Manasota Basin Board, which do not require matching Basin or Governing Board funds, will be used to fund the reimbursement to the project participant. Upon approval, the Manasota Basin Board will have $1,090,973 remaining in its FARMS program budget. Staff Recommendation: See Exhibit 2 1) Approve the ESDA, Inc., FARMS Project funding amendment for a not-to-exceed project reimbursement of $25,000, provided from 2003 State Appropriations; 2) Authorize the transfer of $25,000 from the 2003 State Appropriations allocated to Fund 021 H017 Manasota Basin to H511 ESDA, Inc., FARMS project fund; 3) Authorize the Executive Director

We have traced the history of our Bar Memorial back to at least 1898, in a courthouse that is long gone, but had a beauty and charm that made it a fitting location for this gathering. We say “at least 1898,” because there is speculation that the practice of offering annual unwritten memorials began in 1857. Regardless of its date of origin, the Bar Memorial is now well into its second century, and it is a tradition that is certain to continue simply because it is right— and it is good. Buildings come and go, but the Bar Memorial has always found a suitable home, including in the chambers of the Minneapolis City Council, the boardroom of the Hennepin County Commissioners, and in Judge James Rosenbaum’s magnificent courtroom.

  • What Literature Knows: Forays Into Literary Knowledge Production
    Contributions to English 2 Contributions to English and American Literary Studies 2 and American Literary Studies 2 Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Kai Merten (eds.) Merten Kai / What Literature Knows This volume sheds light on the nexus between knowledge and literature. Arranged What Literature Knows historically, contributions address both popular and canonical English and Antje Kley US-American writing from the early modern period to the present. They focus on how historically specific texts engage with epistemological questions in relation to Forays into Literary Knowledge Production material and social forms as well as representation. The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making. What Literature Knows The Editors Antje Kley is professor of American Literary Studies at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Her research interests focus on aesthetic forms and cultural functions of narrative, both autobiographical and fictional, in changing media environments between the eighteenth century and the present. Kai Merten is professor of British Literature at the University of Erfurt, Germany. His research focuses on contemporary poetry in English, Romantic culture in Britain as well as on questions of mediality in British literature and Postcolonial Studies. He is also the founder of the Erfurt Network on New Materialism.

  • PASSING of TOM BOYER We Are Saddened to Share the Passing Of
    October 12, 2018 Visit us online at www.wpma.com WP-10-12-18 -18 -16 PASSING OF TOM BOYER -13 -08 We are saddened to share the passing of Tom Boyer, 73, owner of Treasure Valley Coffee Company in Boise, Idaho. He passed away September 30, 2018 in a grassy Owyhee County Idaho valley with his dog, Ellie. Tom was a long-time supporter of WPMA and has exhibited at the WPMAEXPO for almost 20 years. Tom was born in Bremerton, Washington and moved to Boise with his family as a child. Tom’s life-long love affair with the Owyhee mountains began early when his father Henry took the family there for outdoor adventures; fishing, hunting and hiking. After working 15 years for Boyd’s Coffee of Portland, Oregon, Tom moved back to Boise in 1984 and started Treasure Valley Coffee with his wife, Carol and son, Greg. Tom’s love of sales, service and great coffee was a winning combination for 34 years, leaving a blueprint for success that will continue to flourish in his memory. Tom’s sanctuary was the wilderness. He loved hiking, fishing, boating, water and snow skiing, off road dirt bikes, bicycling, exploring trails in his ATV, or just driving down the road and spotting a hawk. Whether flying in the back country to camp or for a fly-in breakfast, he loved being in the air. Tom flew for many work events, which was a great time saver. He enjoyed being a part of the close-knit Idaho Aviation community. A memorial service will be held for Tom on Saturday, October 13th at 1:00 p.m.
