DEP identifying number: WW20023005
Is this project eligible under section 403.885(5) F.S.? Yes
 
Is your project addressed in a state, regional or local plan (such as a SWIM plan, Comprehensive Plan, local master plan, etc.)? No
 
If you are requesting funding for a stormwater or surface water restoration project:
 
Which Water Management District has the jurisdiction of your project?
  NA
Have you provided at least 50% match? No
 
Will this project reduce pollutant loadings to a water management district designated 'priority' surface water body? Yes
  Name of water body: Indian River Lagoon
 
Describe how it will reduce loadings, identify anticipated load reductions for total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and other contaminants, and specify the practices that will be used to reduce loadings:
This project will provide for a more efficient usage of relaimed water by increasing the customer base which in turn reduces the discharge into the Indian River Lagoon. The discharge of fresh water effluent into a brackish water body causes changes in salinity that may be harmful to marine life and the ecosystem. The nitrogen that we discharged into lagoon is 5,900 pounds a year. 1,000 pounds per year of phosphorous. 659 solids per year. 1,700 BOD per year. Our best estimate is that the addition of a valving system for rationing will reduce theloadings by 1/3. On a daily average we discharge from the plant .8 millon gallons.
 
If you are requesting funding for a wastewater project:
