Show moreThe purpose of the base programs analysis is to recognize the current public and private environmental regulatory programs, provide an assessment of the overall programs that are in place, and identify the gaps in the existing institutional framework for resource management. Volume 1 provides a snapshot of the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program's socioeconomic conditions. It reviews the current institutional management of the natural resources in the greater Charlotte Harbor watershed. This analysis is performed within an outline of the three major priority problems: hydrologic alterations; water quality degradation; and fish and wildlife habitat loss.

- Abstract/Description
-
Summarizes the results of 16 benthic samples collected during 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998 from the Palm River in Florida.

Show moreThe Big Slough watershed encompasses 195 square miles in Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto counties and drains into the Myakka River on the west coast of Florida. In order to evaluate the magnitude of flooding associated with future development, sub-basin and conveyance characteristics were determined and compiled as an input data set for the US EPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM). Both the RUNOFF and EXTRAN simulation blocks were used to develop preliminary flood profiles for comparison with observed data. This interim project report describes the development of sub-basin characteristics, preliminary model calibration and verification results for two separate storm events. In addition, peak runoff rates were evaluated for several storms of varying duration and antecedent moisture conditions to define a design storm for additional studies.
