- Analysis of Projected Impacts of the Alligator Chain Drawdown Project on The Surrounding Water Table Aquifer.
- Name/Creator

South Florida Water Management District (Fla.), Carnes, James T.
- Abstract/Description
-
An extreme drawdown of the Alligator Chain and Lake Gentry to reverse the decline of aquatic habitat associated with years of lake level stabilization has been proposed. The project area is located southeast of St.Cloud in Osceola County,Florida. During the drawdown, approximately 3,450 acres of bottom sediments will be exposed, simulating the historic cycle of flood and drought which maintained the lakes' ecological balance. Also associated with the drawdown will be the removal of...
Show moreAn extreme drawdown of the Alligator Chain and Lake Gentry to reverse the decline of aquatic habitat associated with years of lake level stabilization has been proposed. The project area is located southeast of St.Cloud in Osceola County,Florida. During the drawdown, approximately 3,450 acres of bottom sediments will be exposed, simulating the historic cycle of flood and drought which maintained the lakes' ecological balance. Also associated with the drawdown will be the removal of approximately 475,000 cubic yards of organic material (muck) from the lake bottom. This habitat enhancement project was initiated by public concerns for protection of their resource. Although the lakes' water quality is good, the prospect of cleaner shorelines, less nuisance vegetation and organic material, and an improved sport fishery has engendered a great deal of support for this project from homeowners and other area residents who utilize these lakes (see Appendix A for more detailed overview of the proposed drawdown project).

It compares the results to studies conducted across the United States. The report evaluates the data reported in the literature concerning the treatment efficiencies associated with various stormwater management systems. The authors conclude that stormwater runoff is highly variable among different land use areas, and that stormwater treatment systems should be chosen on a site-specific basis.

Additional presentations were made early on day 2. Most of day 2 and all of day 3 was devoted to open discussion of subjects related to evaluating the restoration program., After introductory comments on each major topic by members of the Committee, audience participation and comment was welcomed. Interspersed among these sessions of 60 to 90 minutes were working sessions for Committee members to draft a report based on their experience and the knowledge gained during the three day session. Readers should keep in mind that this work was completed in less that a month and after only three days in the project area.

Show morePrompted by the Department of Environmental Regulation and under the guidelines of the Everglades National Park/East Everglades Resource Planning and Management Committee Implementation Plan, the South Florida Water Management District initiated a two year East Everglades ground water monitoring study. This study was proposed in order to determine the potential adverse water quality impact(s) to the Biscayne Aquifer resulting from current agricultural practices conducted within the South Dade Agricultural Area of study., A monitoring network consisting of 20 sampling locations, both surface and ground water, was established within the agricultural areas bordering the L-31 Borrow Canal and sampled throughout the 1985-86 growing seasons. Network stations were sited in areas deemed representative of active and nonactive agricultural practices. Both surface and ground water quality data were compared and contrasted for selected indicator inorganic and organic (pesticides) chemical constituents., In general, the water quality data indicate elevated concentrations for select inorganic and organic parameters representative of agricultural activity. However, overall water qualitly displayed by the Biscayne Aquifer within the area of study meets established regulatory standards. Current farming practices, combined with the process of dilution attained during the wet season, appear to minimize the overall impact of agriculture on the water resources of the Biscayne Aquifer.

The initial development of the ELM was to take 2.5 years, and is referred to as Phase I., The work product of Phase I will be a dynamic spatial simulation model of the Everglades and closely associated ecosystems. At this stage the model will be a calibrated, verified tool to use in management scenario analysis. Phase I is divided into three major tasks. This report presents a summary of Task I accomplishments, and a discussion of many components of the work that will be done in Tasks 2 and 3.

This report documents the rainfall, surface water elevations and groundwater table and the water surface elevations in canals in the Golden Gate City area, especially those in the northerly section. One week later runoff from the rainfall of September 1-2 was superimposed onto canals that were still removing water from the previous rainfall.
