}.)

September 2024

Administration - Focused on transition entailing vendors, reporting requirements, office set-up, technology. Also began review of historic and current files. Started organizing for new mowing and spraying contract.
Issues encountered - delays due to no computer and, once loaner was provided by SOS, then due to setting up system for full functionality..As of end of month, appointment arranged with outside IT vendor to assist in final technology adjustments for full functionality. Given delays in technology, was not able to take over finances by end of month. All efforts in place to take over finances by end of October. Recommend continuing with Paymaster at $100 per month for payroll services given the liability protection obtained by their responsibility for all tax payments, etc.
Direction Desjred -Quickbooks is the standard program used for finance tracking at a price of around $600 per year plus training at $600 to bring me up to speed. An alternative is to simply use EXCEL since FWCD has so few accounts and issues so few checks per month. I am recommending EXCEL.
Operation/Maintenance - Rob inspected ditches, organized workshop and disposed of junk/debris. I also inspected a number of ditches and met with three landowners about their concerns. Rob & I also coordinated with contractors performing Park Lat work to address issues with machine reach and bank washouts. I also met with Main Canal contractor regarding amount of material being pulled from canal and place to located muck until dried. While machines was working, time was split between repairs and cleaning (Ditch 11). Future reports will be accompanied with copy of Ditch Maintenance Log showing where the machines worked and for what purpose.
Issues Encountered - Machine was non-operational for 1O days due to electronic issues. As of end of month, machine is back up and running. Park Lateral contractor directed to do the best they can with the reach they have. For approximately 200 yards the ditch bottom may be about half-three quarters cleaned due to reach issue. Cost to repair bank is too high to resolve with this project. Main Canal contractor was directed to place muck on north side of Fellsmere Grade where it can dry and be used by FWCD or SJ for fill needs. Change Order may be sought.
Direction Desired - If there are strong objections to direction provided Park Lat. and Main Canal contractors, please let me know. As to priority of ditches to be cleaned when Rob is not addressing emergencies, this will be created over the next couple of months with assistance of landowners, Rob and myself. Goal will be to focus on the worst of the worst- but first we have to find them!
Operation/Capital

No capital projects or capital purchase this month.

Next Month

Administration: Finalize mowing and spraying contracts (either via RFP or piggyback).
Prepare November Board agenda packet (to include year-end budget amendment prepared by SOS). Public Depositor Annual Report is due.
Finalize all SOS transition.
Initial meeting with Resident Group.
Initial meetings with adjacent WCD for BMP and piggyback contracts.
Initial meeting with County on partnerships.

Operation Maintenance: Continue to clean sublaterals under priority set by Rob (until new priority system is created).
Continue to manage Park and Main contractors. Continue ditch inspections.

Operation Capital - no anticipated actions.

October 2024
Administration - Transition entailing vendors, reporting requirements, office set-up, technology is nearly complete. SOS is no longer being used except in unique situations where their historical knowledge may be required. Continued review of historic and current files. Organized first meeting with existing organized community group on 10/24/31. Minutes provided as part of Board packet. Finally, developed end of year and current year budget amendments and mowing contract. Received one pipe replacement permit for District Manager action and one project permit sent to Carter for review.
Issues encountered - Due to budgetary and time constraints, Quicken will NOT be used for finance tracking. District Manager will use EXCEL to record all transactions and for use of monthly financial reporting and end of year audits. Continuing with Paymaster at $100 per month for payroll services given the liability protection obtained by their responsibility for all tax payments, etc. The current year budget amendment will result in the loss of all reserves and a large portion of the discretionary sublateral maintenance budget. Item is on the Board agenda for discussion of this matter.
Direction Desired - None; unless the Board is adamant on the use of Quicken. An agenda item is on the November 2024 Board agenda to discuss the current year proposed budget amendment.
Operation/Maintenance - Rob cleaned ditches and addressed washouts. District Manager inspected a number of ditches and met with landowners about their concerns. Continued to coordinate with contractors performing Park, Main and Lat U work. Main Canal contractor was required to relocate spoil material to north side of Fellsmere Grade at direction of SJ. A change order for this is on the November Board agenda. Trees from Hurricane Milton were removed from Park Lateral. Request for payment from contractor forthcoming. Ditches cleaned include PL-13 (partial) and PL-18. See copy of Ditch Maintenance Log showing where the machine worked and for what purpose.
Issues Encountered -Access to maintain ditches is an issue. Not just at the end of each street where most landowners have blocked access to the last portion, there are other sublateral locations that are not accessible. In addition, since most sublaterals are now over 30' wide, the available district ROW is not sufficient to maintain the ditch. A concerted effort is needed to ensure access to all portions of the sublaterals. A second issue will develop as the District aggressively maintains the sublaterals. The spare road material placed as a windrow along top of bank will be covered by the deposit of the ditch muck/weeds. This good road dirt would no longer then be available for use on the roads by the County or residents. A meeting has been requested with the County to address this issue.
Direction Desired - Course of action desired to ensure access to all portions of the sublaterals. First, the prior FWCD policy of prescriptive easement rights must be legally confirmed. Second, for new access locations, since these prescriptive rights cannot be claimed, new easements will be required. Initial request to FWCD Attorney to assist with these options has been requested.
Operation/Capital

No capital projects or capital purchase this month.

Next Month

Administration: Implement mowing contract
Begin managing financial transactions Work on change of Public Depository
Initial meetings with adjacent WCD for BMP and piggyback contracts - continued from October Initial meeting with County on partnerships - continued from October

Explanation of team, and Jed talks about our concerns
Jed: This meeting is more solutions based that confrontational.
Mathes -Wants a landowners committee. Meeting monthly/bimonthly before board meeting.
Need priorities and recommendations from landowner group.
Not binding / no by laws that control the meetings.
lX per month Landowner, unless board meeting 2x that month.
Mathes needs pre-preparation data before our collective meeting with him.
Mathes does not receive daily direction from the board. He implements policy that is assigned by the board. Mathes stated that it may be a Sunshine Law violation to as for guidance outside of an actual district meeting.
Direction from board should be minimal from meetings
Mathes: SDS was running on auto-pilot for 5 years, with no real management of FWCD resources (ditches or employees - Rob - that maintain the ditches)
Mathes: The board wasn't actively monitoring the status well and needs to be engaged. This is why he was onboarded as the district manager.

Has Mark inspected the entire district to identify where the biggest problems are.
What is the plan to address those?

Mathes has physically rated about 25% of the district.
1/3rd of sub-laterals of the 25% reviewed are Red (bad)
He's 'color coded' each ditch according to how 'bad' the ditches condition is.
Purple, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green.

Inspection

Purple = blocked ditch/sub-lateral with limited or no access due to fencing, landowner gate locks, or trees being in the way of the equipment to access ditch.
Red = level lower than purple.
Not cleaning ditch if Blue or Green for now.

Priority to clean is Red & Purple ditches
Good sub-lateral example = no grass in the ditch
Bad sub-lateral example =
Shrubs/ trees in the ditch, no access for equipment.
Type of grass matters (99th Street east of park lateral) Some types of grasses impede water flow more that other types.

Canal Cleaning

	What's the status of Lateral U, Main Canal and Park Lateral cleaning?
Details on plan for using $163k sub­ laterals cleaning. When is RFP going to be advertised!
$15-20 per foot for cleaning and dump truck removal of muck to another site provided by contractor.
Less if FWCD had a site nearby that dirt company could use to drop the removed material from subs­ that dropped by $2-6 a foot depending on the arrangement.

Lateral U is complete
Main Canal is complete
Park Lateral Cleaning will need to be redone, depth was not sufficient in accordance with engineering specifications in the RFP.
FWCD Budget sheet - Mathes Describes budget. There is a shortfall for the coming year (FY24/25).
$140K left in budget
Canal work has not been paid. $230K is left to pay. The payments were made on a schedule after completion points by contractors. Final payments have not been made yet.
The proposed $163K to do canal maintenance is gone. That will be used for other things. There was additional work done by the contractors to clear some storm damage - they have been paid from this amount.
Another big cost was Mathes' Salary. Money had to be moved around to accommodate.
Proposed shortfall solutions:
Cut sublateral maintenance to deal with shortfall. However, Rob will clean Red/Purple ditches based on Mathes' inspection.
Aerial Spraying is not needed at this time.
Got rid of canal ditch maintenance spraying. For now.
31K left for sub-laterals. Mathes is solving access issue with this amount in Purple conditioned sub-laterals.

Questions from resident about the money that had been paid in taxes.
Mathis indicated will be doing a review of the prior annual audits to look into where all the money went going back 20 years.

2 of 2

Solutions for sublateral cleaning:
Rob will be assisted in prioritizing maintenance (In the past, 75% of his time was spent on Emergencies, 25% on maintenance)
Based on recent work progress, Mathes believes that Rob could clean nearly every ditch in a year.
In 8 days 2 miles has been cleaned.
Rob can clean about ¼ mile ditch per day
•Goal-we may not need $163K.
Rob will be working on ditch maintenance every day. He will be spending 75% of his time on maintenance and 25% on emergencies.

Questions about moving the dirt after it's pulled from the canal:

Mathes said the muck/weeds removed from ditch is placed on ditch top of bank. Most remain there while some may slough to ditch bank. Some may fall back into ditch but should not if placed properly by operator.
Committee member mentioned that if the dirt is placed on the bank, it will likely slide back into the ditch. (SEE number 1 above)
It was mentioned that Susan Adams said the county may be able to help with dirt removal.
Mathes said there was no economic viability for
the dirt.	4

Plan for buffer preserve flow into FWCD areas.
Prioritize ditches 1-8?
Some of the surface waters from the Saint Sebastian River Preserve State Park are draining into the FWCD sub­ laterals, increasing the volume of water the district's infrastructure needs to handle. This water then drains to the Fellsmere Main Canal. The state should redirect the flow of
Buffer Preserve	this water directly to the Fellsmere

Main Canal to relieve this burden on our drainage system. The state needs to address this. We need to push back hard on this issue.
How does Mr. Mathes intend to address this?

1999 Carson Platt land was purchased by the State of Florida, 2400 acres in FWCD. 2017 District boundaries.
The State (Park System) was never charged FWCD assessments. Therefore, not paying fees but water is flowing into FWCD canals.

Mathes has two proposed solutions that will be discussed in the board meeting:

Get the State to start paying or block the water flow.
If FWCD Blocks water flow it will cause Capital assessment to taxpayers. Because this entail building a berm to keep water from FWCD area.
Whoever negotiated the plan - only 10% water is required to be blocked.

Plan is to run a berm. St Johns only has to block 10% of water flow.
St Johns is NOT paying taxes to the district. State Park is owned by then definitely through SJ, I believe - if not SJ then FDEP.

Post storm

	After contractions have already done cleaning.

Some clearing has been done by the contractors working on the main cleaning project. There was an added charge for this.

Miscellaneous
Topics

Next Meeting
with Mark Mathes

These are topics that were outside of the formal agenda items that we discussed with Mark Mathes.

21 November, Thursday, at 7pm
Willow St Office
With East Landowners Core Group

Roads aren't FWCD issue. Landowners and county. $30K is for clearing right of way.
Rights of way are no longer road width because ditches are 35 feet wide now, as over time the ditches have been widened. Only about 2 feet of the road is right of way now, the rest is private property
Desired Level of service from district- NOT roads.
Weir aka low head dam is SJWMD.
Admin, maintenance and capital assessment are avenues of taxation. New Facilities will be capital assessments. Pump would be a capital assessment.
Provide Ditch inspection form for landowners to review. This is provided in another document.
FWCD Plan of action:
Mowing and spraying
Mow in December - no real growth for 5 months.
Spray June, July. Winter and spring are the best times for maintenance cycles.
Residents forward your concerns NLT 14 Nov (day after district meeting on 13 Nov) via FB East Landowner page or through email list to anyone of us or Debbie's list back to us.

AGENDA SUMMARY

SUBJECT: State Park control of stormwater runoff REQUESTED ACTION: Discussion
REASON: The State Park is obligated by lnterlocal Agreement with the FWCD to reduce outflows from the State Park by at least 10%. The State had six years from purchase in 1999 to develop such plan. A plan was indeed provided to the FWCD meeting this deadline. Unfortunately, no apparent action has been taken on this draft plan.
The plan was recently reviewed by the District Engineer who offered the following comments.

The Introduction Paragraph describes a biological analysis, coordination with various agencies, and permits. I don't think this hurdle was ever crossed.
On page 11, the 25-yr Flood Existing Conditions- Paragraph work includes,
plugging the sub-laterals around the midpoint (extension of Willow Street)
no pipe to be installed on the plug for peak flow relief
Somehow the plugs are to be extended past the top of ditch slopes to allow the runoff to spill around the plugs in a 200-foot swath. Significant ground surface regrading is required for this concept.
Concerns with this concept includes
Sheet flow west of the plugs between the sub-laterals onto FWCD landowner properties.
No control "bleed down" pipes in the plugs which would keep the flows in the ditch alignment, and would provide some attenuation
	Lack of a north - south berm along the west property limits of the buffer area results in the lack of any flood protection for landowners to the west.
The November 2023 storm event resulted in sheet flow across Babcock and flooding negative impacts. The lack of any stormwater management plan likely contributed to the impacts.
At this time, direction from the Board is required as to how to proceed. If the draft plan is acceptable, then SJ will finalize plans, permit, budget and construct the improvements. If changes are desired, then a meeting with SJ will be arrange to review our requested changes and the issue will be brought back for further Board consideration.
Separate from this specific plan, the State Park lands are in the District boundary but not paying any assessment. With or without the implementation of the proposed plan, the State Park drains water into the FWCD system. Direction from the Board is required as to whether the State Park should begin to be assessed (and have votes equal to their acreage) or if the State Park will be removed from the District in a future amendment. The acreage of the State Park in the District is approximately 2,450 acres. The gravity basin is approximately 15,000 acres and the pumped basin is approximately 19,000 acres.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT

TIDS INTERGOVERNMENTAL (ho,cinafren l«I "Agreoment"), is made and entered into as of this of	, 19.i:!, by and between FELLSMERE WATER CONTROL DISTRICT, a quasi-public body existing under Chapter 298 of the Florida Statutes, also known as Fellsmere Drainage District, whose mailing address is Post Office Box 438, Fellsmere, Florida 32948 (hereinafter referred to as "Seller"), and ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, a public body existing under Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes, whose mailing address is Post Office Box 1429, Palatka, Florida, 32178-1429 (hereinafter referred to as "Buyer").
WITNESSETH THAT
WHEREAS, the Seller and Buyer have entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated November J.L, 1999, ( the "Purchase Agreement") providing for the Buyer to purchase fee simple title to certain real property situate in Indian River County, Florida, consisting of canal and road rights of way within lands owned by the Carson Platt Estate, described as Parcel "B" in the Purchase Agreement, and as more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached
hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, Paragraph 28(D) of the Purchase Agreement contains an agreement between Buyer and Seller whereby Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller to ensure that any future restoration plans for the Property will not substantially impede or interrupt the drainage and operation of the works of the Seller with respect to remaining lands served by the Seller; and
WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement is further contingent upon Buyer's coordination
with Seller, prior to closing on the Property, to delete from Buyer's purchase of the Property any canals, roads, rights of way within the Property which may be required by the Seller to provide for (i) maintenance and repair of any of Seller's existing works, (ii) the drainage needs of out parcel owners, or (iii) any other purposes as may be deemed necessary or desirable by Seller; and
WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer are entering into this Agreement to set forth the terms and
conditions of the parties with respect to the Seller's continued maintenance and operation of Seller's works as described above.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable considerations, the parties'hereto, each intending to be legally bound, do hereby warrant and agree as follows:

Property. The Water Management Plan shall set forth in detail Buyer's proposed use of the Property, and the method of minimizing impacts to remaining lands and drainage systems within the Fellsmere Water Control District jurisdiction from surface water run-off from the Property. The Seller shall have the opportunity to review and provide input regarding issues addressed within the Water Management Plan. The goal of the Water Management Plan, which shall contain a project construction schedule, shall be to achieve at least a ten percent (10%) reduction in peak discharge off the Property as a result of a 25-year 24-hour storm event and, to the greatest extent reasonably practicable, minimize the coincidence of peak discharges from the property with peak discharges from other properties within the Fellsmere Water Control jurisdiction. The basis for approval by Seller of the Water Management Plan shall be limited to consideration of the extent to which such Plan achieves the goal stated above. The parties agree to negotiate responsibly and in good faith, regarding the elements of said Water Management Plan to accomplish the dual needs of both parties, and Seller's approval of such Water Management Plan shall not unreasonably be withheld.
Prior to the development of the Water Management Plan, the Buyer shall not install any drainage improvements or make any drainage modifications that result in discharges from the Property greater than current conditions. Buyer and Seller agree that their engineers shall work together to attempt to effectuate a reduction in discharge flows and protection of other properties within the Fellsmere Water Control jurisdiction from flooding.
In the event Buyer, for any reason, is unable to satisfy the conditions of Paragraph l(A) above, Buyer agrees.to pay Seller an annual amount of Twenty Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($20,500.00). Such payment shall continue to be paid by Buyer to Seller, until such time as the goal described in Paragraph l(A) has been met.
Out Parcel Ownerships. The Seller and Buyer are aware of the existence of an approximately 10 acre out parcel ownership owned by Henrique and Emilia Rodrigues, identified as Lot 949 of Fellsmere Farms Company Subdivision, which parcel of land lies within the perimeter of the Property being acquired by Buyer (hereinafter the "Out Parcel Ownership") which, until acquired by Buyer, will remain within the jurisdiction of the Sellers drainage system. In the event a purchase and sale or exchange of the Out Parcel Ownership has not been
consummated prior to closing under the Purchase Agreement, Buyer agrees to-diligently pursue and expedite negotiations for sale or exchange of the Out Parcel Ownership within the perimeters of the Property purchased by Buyer. Seller agrees to attempt, in good faith, to facilitate negotiations for sale or exchange of the Out Parcel Ownership within the perimeters of the
Property purchased by Buyer.	•

Right of Way of Adjoining Rodrigues Out Parcel Ownership.
Seller shall sell to Buyer, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
the canal right of way along the southern boundary of the Rodrigues Out Parcel Ownership known as Ditch 9, ("Ditch 9") from the east boundary of the Fellsmere Water Control District to Willow Street as generally shown on Exhibit "B" attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. At the time of closing by Buyer from Seller under the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agrees to grant to Seller an easement for ingress and egress along said Ditch 9 right of way, from the southeast comer of the Rodrigues Out Parcel Ownership west to Willow Street, as shown on said Exhibit "B", for purposes of Seller's continued operation, repair and maintenance and access to and from the Rodrigues Out Parcel ownership of the aforesaid portion of Ditch 9 to provide drainage of surface waters to and from the Rodrigues Out Parcel Ownership. The Easement to be granted to Seller under this Paragraph 3(A), shall terminate and be of no further effect upon the date of closing for any sale, exchange or conveyance to Buyer of the Rodrigues Out Parcel Ownership. The Seller agrees to provide the Buyer with a document effecting the termination of such easement.
Parties. The rights and obligations created by this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties, and there are no understandings dealing with the subject matter of this Agreement other than those contained herein.

Re: Carson Platt Water Management Plan

Dear Mr. Till man:

Several years ago the Fellsmere Water Control District (WCD) sold drainage canals and roads within the Carson Platt prope1ty in Indian River County to the St. Johns River Water Management District (District). You may recall that as part of the acquisition the District agreed to develop a hydrologic restoration plan to reduce surface drainage from that property. Enclosed is draft of the Carson Platt Water Management Plan for your review.

The plan meets the requirements of our 10 November 1999 Intergovernmental Agreement. The modeling results indicate that surface water conditions will be enhanced by plugging seven ditches to reduce the peak 25-yr 24-hr discharge by 20 percent, twice what is called for in the inter-governmental agreement.
Constructing the proposed weirs and plugs should also minimize impacts to the remaining lands and drainage systems within the WCD by reducing the volume of surface water run-off to those areas. This restoration will increase the hydroperiods of the onsite wetlands and pine flatwoods that have been colonized by upland species due to the drained conditions. This enhancement is consistent with the Department of Environmental Protection's approved land management plan and the proposed long-term use of the property as a conservation parcel within the St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park.

Please coordinate your response with Tom Workman (386) 312-2345. Implementation requires a biological analysis and consultation with USFWS; state and federal permits; and logistical assistance from the Park Service. Construction activities are scheduled for the 2006-07 District budget.

Carson Platt Water Management Plan

INTRODUCTION

Fellsmere Water Control District (WCD), a quasi-public body located in Fellsmere, Florida, and St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) located in Palatka, Florida, signed an intergovernmental agreement on 10 November 1999 for the sale of the Carson Platt Estate by the WCD to the SJRWMD for the purpose of creating a conservation area and ultimately improve the water quality of the Indian River Lagoon estuary system. A contingency of the intergovernmental agreement was that within six years from the date of signing the SJRWMD would submit a plan to manage the surface waters of the property by reducing the peak discharge from the 25-yr 24-hr storm event by at least 10%. If reasonably practicable, the coincidence of peak discharges from the Carson Platt with other properties within Fellsmere Water Control jurisdiction would be minimized. This paper develops the plan to comply with this requirement along with supporting data. Implementation requires at least ten months to complete a biological analysis and consultation with USFWS; obtain state and federal permits; and coordinate logistical assistance from the Park Service. These activities are scheduled for the 2006- 07 District budget with a targeted construction window during the anticipated dry season from January-May 2007.

STUDY AREA

Drainage Area - The Carson Platt property (Fig. 1) comprises about 2,100 acres and lies entirely within Fellsmere WCD. Runoff drains into the Park Lateral Canal, the eastern most drainage canal in Fellsmere WCD. The Park Lateral Canal drains 9,318 acres. The canal is just under 6 miles long and drains north into Fellsmere Canal, which is the main collection channel for Fellsmere WCD. Fellsmere Canal then discharges into the Indian River Lagoon. Park Lateral Canal has 24 sublateral canals or ditches spaced at quarter­ mile increments (Figures 1 & 2). Most the sublaterals are12,800 ft long and flow west into Park Lateral Canal. The northern 14 ditches collect the runoff from Carson Platt plus adjoining land to the east between the high point of the coastal ridge and Fellsmere WCD's eastern boundary.

Subbasin Delineation - The 14 northern drainage ditches that collect runoff from Carson Plat and areas east were generally subdivided into 5 subbasins (Fig 1). Drainage was assumed from north to south. , i.e. Ditch #1 collected sheet flow from lands lying to its north, Ditch #2 collected runoff from lands between Ditch #1 and Ditch #2, etc.

Ditches 16 through 24 were all single subbasins. A total of 96 subbasins were modeled for Park Lateral varying from 16.23 ac to 384.02 acres.

Land Use• The land use for each subbasin was estimated using 2004 aerial photography. Carson Platt was 100% forested. Table 1 lists the percent in each of ten land use categories for Park Lateral drainage area, including the Carson Platt property, which comprises about 22.5% of Park Lateral Canal watershed.

Soils and Associated Water Table Characteristics - Soils are commonly classified A, B, C, or D to represent their runoff potential. A soils have high infiltration capacity and low runoff. At the other extreme are D soils with very low infiltration capacity and high mnoff amounts. In Florida's sandy soils, it is depth to the water table, not infiltration capacity that generally governs how much rain is captured and how much runs off, with A soils having a deep depth to the water table and D soils having a shallow depth.
Table 2 gives a breakdown of the soil types found in Park Lateral Canal drainage area. Figure 3 shows the soil types found in Carson Platt. BID soils predominate. BID soils exhibits D characteristics under natural conditions, but can revert to a B type soil if adequately drained. Table 3 lists the depth to seasonal high water table for each of the soil types. There were no A or B soils in the study area so the depths listed are for A and B soils found elsewhere in Indian River County. The only C soil in the study area was for Satellite soils with depths of 1.0-3.5 ft to the water table. The depth given for D soils is for non-wetland areas. The D soils in the study area were all wetlands, which are under water during the wet season. Since most of the wetlands in the study area are drained to a limited extent, the depth to water table was assumed to be 0.01 ft. Likewise the BID soils are drained but not all that well in the Carson Platt property, so they were assigned a depth half way between a B and a D soils or 1.5 ft. Similarly, the CID soils were assigned an average depth between a C and D soils or 1.4 ft (see table 3).

Topographic Data - Carter Associates, Inc did an extensive survey of Fellsmere WCD. Ground elevations were obtained from aerial orthometric surveys flown on 23 April 2003 with spot elevations given approximately every 300 ft in all directions. Ground truthing of prominent features indicate an accuracy of+/- 0.5 ft. Field surveys were made of every culvert and bridge. Representative cross sections were obtained at regular intervals along Park Lateral, and 4 to 6 cross sections were obtained on each sublateral ditch.
Fieldwork was completed 12 September 2003.

HYDROLOGIC DATA

Previous Investigations - The SJRWMD did preliminary runoff calculations for the Carson Platt property at the time of its purchase using the USACE's HEC-1 program. Runoff was based on the curve number (CN) method and the SCS unit hydrograph. Figure 3 is from that study. The property was divided into 3 subbasins and the runoff totaled. Peak discharge was 1,050 cfs for the 25-yr storm.

Carter Associates, Inc. did a master drainage plan and stormwater hydrologic analysis of the eastern half of the WCD in December 2003 for SJRWMD and Fellsmere WCD. They developed the runoff for the 25-yr storm. They used the ICPR model and

the SCS method of runoff determination. Their model was in great detail having 240 subbasins, 569 culverts, 732 channel segments plus other structures. Curve numbers (CN) varied from 70 for woods to 86 for residential areas. Their 25-yr 24-hr rainfall was
9.20 inches. The !CPR model did not use actual channel cross sections but only approximated them as trapezoids. SJRWMD plans to model the Fellsmere Water Management Area with EPA' Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) as part of the Indian River Lagoon North Feasibility Study, being conducted in concert with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Meteorological Data

Rainfall Data - A 25-yr rainfall distribution file totaling 9.63 inches in 24-hr from SJRWMD's earlier investigation in 1999 was used in the SWMM model. This value is high based on SJ TP 88-3 and point rainfall should be about 9.30 inches. Adjusting point rainfall to Park Lateral Canal's drainage area of 14.6 sq mi reduces this to 9.20 inches, the same amount used by Carter Associates, Inc. Future modeling should use 9.20 inches. Rainfall was distributed in 15-minute increments following guidelines in SJ TP 91-3.

Evaporation - Default values of 0.10 in/day contained in SWMM were used.
Evaporation is not a significant factor over the 3 to 4 days modeled and is usually ignored for flood runoff.

Surface Water Data

Flood of 5 November 2003 - This was the largest flood event over the 14 months that Carter Associates, Inc. collected stage and rainfall data. The Fellsmere raingage recorded 3.21 inches ofrain and the other gage 2.5 miles to the south recorded 2.27 inches. Stage data was recorded at four sites on Park Lateral but not discharge. The stage recorder at Park Lateral just downstream from Ditch #4 was the only gage downstream of most of Carson Platt and was selected for calibration. It peaked at 15.0 ft NGVD, a rise of just of over 5 feet, during the 5 November 2003 flood.

VISUAL SWMM MODEL
Visual SWMM is a proprietary Windows version of EPA's SWMM version 4.31.
The Runoff block of SWMM applies rainfall to the various subbasins, computes infiltration and evaporation losses, and routes the runoff across the ground to the channel. It is also capable of doing simple downstream channel routings, but for more complicated hydrodynamic channel routings the EXTRAN block of SWMM is used.
Runoff Block

Subbasin data - Table 4 list the I values used to compute overland flow for each subbasin and each land use category. These values were taken from "City of Jacksonville

Master Stormwater Management Plan" (CDM, 1986). These values represent commonly accepted values taken from literature search and supported by their study results for the city of Tampa. Additional input data are subbasin drainage area, width of overland flow, and slope. These values were then used to come up with weighted values based on subbasin land uses. Overland flow slopes were based on the slopes taken from the USGS 5-ft quadrangle map and varied from 5'/1,5000 ft to 5'/13,500 ft. Slopes for subbasins on ditches 14-24 were later reduced to .0001 in an attempt to slow down runoff to simulate the presence of culverts for these ditches.

Infiltration Data - SWMM version 4.31 offers a choice of two infiltration equations, Green-Ampt and Horton. Each requires three input parameters. South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) recommends Horton's equation (Lin and Perkins 1989). Horton's equation is as follows:
fp = fc + (fo - fc)e-Pr

where: fc = final constant infiltration rate fo = initial infiltration rate
p = a decay factor
fp = infiltration capacity as a function of time t = time.
SFWMD uses a modified version of Horton's equation that accounts for soil storage by adjusting the decay factor p. SFWMD recommends fo = 3.1 in/hr and fc = 0.01 in/hr for south Florida soils. These two parameter values were retained for use in the SWMM
model. The third parameter, p was solved for using the equation P = (fo - fc)/So where So is the initial watershed storage in inches. Table 3 gives the values for p for each soils type. A weighted average P had to be computed for each subbasin because most had two or more soils types. Before p could be solved, So had to be determined. Figure 4 was
used to obtain So. Figure 4 was derived as follows. In SJRWMD publication SJ TP No. 85-5 (Suphunvorranop, 1985) the author recommends the ARS (Agricultural Research Service) method for obtaining watershed storage for Florida flatwoods based on a report

by Capece (Capece, 1984). The recommended method was developed from the absorption curve of sandy soils in the nearby Taylor Creek area in Okeechobee County (Speir et. al., 1969). Capece found the SCS curve number method consistently under estimated runoff volume. A plot of part of the ARS curve (Fig. 3 of Capece, 1984) revealed a regression equation and is duplicated in Figure 4 below. The equation is not valid beyond 3 ft.

EXTRAN Block - The EXTRAN block collected all the runoff generated by the Runoff block for the 96 subbasins and routed it downstream to the Indian River Lagoon. A total of 436 junctions and 513 conduits were used to model Park Lateral Canal and its sublaterals. Figure 5 shows a schematic of all the conduits with the junctions representing the end of one cross sectional reach or culvert and the start of another representing. The only exceptions are the junctions representing subbasins, which are identified.

Channel Data- Ditches 1-13a, the North Diversion Canal, and the upper part of Ditches 14 and 15 were modeled in great detail using all the culvert and cross section data shown on the survey drawings. These ditches collect all the runoff from Carson Platt and convey them to Park Lateral Canal. (The North Diversion Canal intercepts the discharge from the upper 5,000 ft of Ditches 14 and 15 and sends it north into Ditch 13a. Ditch 13a lies between Ditches13 and 14.) Each channel segment requires a junction at each end. An additional junction was inserted in long conduits if needed to collect the adjacent subbasin runoff. Park Lateral Canal was also modeled using all the culvert, bridge, and cross section data.
The lower half of sublateral Ditches 14 and 15 and Ditches 16 through 24 were not modeled in detail. Culverts were ignored for these ditches except the final culvert discharging into Park Lateral Canal. Other means were used to slow the runoff rate for these ditches. Manning's "n" values from the ICPR model were used in the SWMM

Figure 5. SWMM link/node diagram with subbasin numbers only identified.

model, which were 0.035 for Park Lateral Canal and 0.07 for sublateral ditches. The "n" value for Park Lateral Canal south of Fellsmere was increased to 0.06 to slow the runoff rate upstream, but had little impact.

Overland flow/surface storage accounting - There are numerous depressions and wetlands throughout the study area that retain runoff, attenuate flood peaks, and can divert flow from one ditch to another. Aerial photographs show breaches in existing ditch banks where they pass through wetlands that the surveys do not detect. To account for storage and movement of water between ditches, representative samplings of ground elevations within each subbasin were taken and an equivalent channel having the same stage storage characteristics of the subbasins was created. The length of this channel was the overland flow distance for the respective subbasin. This combination storage/overland flow channel was usually placed at the lowest end of the subbasin connecting the subbasin junction with the nearest junction in the ditch south of it.
Another connection without storage was made from the subbasin junction to the ditch to the north. This allowed flow to either ditch or from one ditch to another if water levels

invert elevation equal to the lowest storage channel elevation was used for the north connection.

MODELING RESULTS

5 November 2003 Flood -Table 5 compares the simulated peak stage at the downstream most gage on Park Lateral Canal with the observed peak stage. SJRWMD's results fell in between Carter Associates, Inc. and the observed. This is a good indication that SJRWMD's model is giving reasonable answers. Had the time been taken to model the 171 culverts in the city limits of Fellsmere and areas to the south, the results for SJRWMD's model would have been even better. Regardless, the level of detail used to model Carson Platt is more than adequate to assess the impact of different alternatives for reducing the runoff rate independent from what the runoff is from the remainder of the Park Lateral Canal watershed.

25-yr Flood Existing Conditions - The SWMM model predicted a peak stage of
21.0 ft at the Park Lateral Canal-Ditch 4 gage site for the 25-yr flood. Peak discharge wasl,192 cfs. Carter Associates, Inc. predicted a peak stage of 19.78 ft and a peak discharge of 1,139 cfs. Much of this difference is due to Carter Associates, Inc. using 9.2 inches for the 25-yr rainfall and SJRWMD using 9.63 inches. This is a good indicator that both models are simulating runoff well. Table 6 lists the peak stages for existing conditions along the west boundary of Carson Platt. Figure 6 shows the combined discharge hydrograph from summing all the flows passing these same locations. Flow at the upstream end of Ditch 14 was included since it receives runoff from subbasins 8E- 13aE, which make up the headwater area lying outside of Carson Platt.

25-yr Flood 7 Plug Alternative -For this alternative 7 plugs were placed in Ditches 2 through 8 along the middle trail that pretty much splits Carson Platt in half in this area (see Figure 7). This is the trail that is an extension of Willow Street in Fellsmere. Water was allowed to spill around the plugs as a 200 ft swath having a radius of 300 ft at appropriate ground elevations as shown on the plan view of Carter Associates, Inc.'s plan and profile drawings. Upstream of the plugs, starting water levels in the ditches and adjoining wetlands for the 25 yr flood were assumed to be the level at which spilling to the west begins. Table 6 compares the resulting peak stages and discharges along the west boundary of Carson Platt. Figure 6 compares the combined runoff hydrograph with the 7 plugs to existing conditions. There is a 20 percent reduction in peak outflow. The peak occurs about 3 hours sooner and the recession is spread over a much longer time. The peak stage immediately upstream of the plugs varies uniformly from 27.4 ft at ditch 2 to 27.15 ft at ditch 8. This is 0.8 to 1.0 ft above

ll

natural ground or spillover elevation for ditches 2-6, and 1.8 and 1.65 ft above natural ground, respectively for ditches 7 and 8. The plugs should therefore be at least one foot higher than the 25-yr peak water level and extend beyond the banks for 200 ft to force the water inland and around the plugs.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Plugging seven ditches, Ditches 2 through 8, along the middle trail (Figure 7) would restore much of the forestland upstream of these plugs to their original condition, and would effectively reduce the peak 25-yr 24-hr discharge leaving the Carson Platt property by 20 percent, twice what is called for in the intergovernmental agreement. The peak in the discharge hydrograph (Figure 6) occurs 2 hours sooner than before. It also peaks 5 hours sooner than Park Lateral Canal instead of 3 hours sooner. The land elevations along the Middle Trail range from 27 ft at Ditch 2 to 25 ft at Ditch 8. Plugs at these points would not impact lands outside the property or along the FPL right-of-way to the east, which ranges between 32 and 33 ft. Therefore, it is recommended that ditches 2 through 8 be plugged along the Middle Trail. The plug should be at least one foot above the 25-yr flood stage, or to a minimum grade of 28.4 ft and should extend north and south 200 ft beyond the top of ditch bank to force the water inland and around the plugs.
