BackgroundBackground
1994 Everglades Forever Act Required the submittal of a permit modification
by December 31, 2003 containing a PLAN for achieving compliance with phosphorus criterion in the Everglades Protection Area
Strategy has been in every annual Everglades Consolidated Report
Utilized results of Basin-Specific Feasibility Studies
Everglades Protection Area Tributary BasinsLong-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals
Everglades Protection Area Tributary BasinsLong-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals
Basic PreceptsBasic Precepts
Although existing phosphorus control programs are doing better than expected, additional measures will be needed to achieve compliance with water quality standards
Substantive scientific uncertainties remain
Maximum water quality improvement through an adaptive implementation process
Everglades Protection Area Tributary BasinsLong-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals
Everglades Protection Area Tributary BasinsLong-Term Plan for Achieving Water Quality Goals
Overall StrategyOverall Strategy
1. All scientifically defensible steps are taken at the earliest achievable dates
2. Focused efforts to improve the scientific and technical basis for additional steps
3. Incremental implementation of additional steps as soon as their need is confirmed

Florida Legislature found that the Plan provides the best available phosphorus reduction technology
Florida Environmental Regulation Commission adopted Everglades Phosphorus Rule that declared the Plan shall constitute the best available phosphorus reduction technology
Plan was revised to incorporate legislative guidance and public comments
Final document dated October 27, 2003 was submitted to FDEP as part of Everglades Forever Act required long-term permit application due by December 31, 2003

PDE contains seven primary elements Identify means and methods to replicate the
optimal performance of SAV Develop engineering criteria and forecasting
tools for additional measures which can be applied within the footprint of existing STAs.

Post-2006 StrategyPost-2006 Strategy
Identification and adaptive implementation of additional water quality improvement measures following completion of pre-2006 projects Implement as soon as their functionality and
need is determined Based on ongoing analysis of actual
performance and the PDE effort Recommended funding of $36 million

Post-2006 StrategyPost-2006 Strategy Possible measures for adaptive implementation within
proposed budget includes: Conversion of additional lands to SAV, PSTA or other
vegetative communities Additional structural and operational modifications within
existing STAs Interbasin transfer of water for more integrated and improved
operation Integration of water quality improvement strategies into CERP
projects Implement more aggressive urban and agricultural source
control programs
