AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing to consider adoption of an ordinance by the Monroe County
Board of County Commissioners amending the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, adopting the 10 -Year Water
Supply Plan Update to be consistent with the South Florida Water Management District Lower East Coast Water
Supply Plan Update of 2013. (Legislative Proceeding)
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Planning & Environmental Resources Department is requesting to amend the
Monroe County Comprehensive Plan to adopt a 10 -year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan update, pursuant to
Section 163.3177(6)(c), F.S., which requires local governments that are subject to a regional water supply plan to
update their adopted 10 -year water supply facilities work plan within 18 months of the adoption of the regional
water supply plan update. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) updated its Lower East Coast
Water Supply Plan on September 12, 2013, which identifies areas where water supply, demand, and shortages are
projected to occur within the next 20 years.
The Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) references the initiatives already identified in
FKAA's 20 -year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan. According to state guidelines, the Work Plan
and associated comprehensive plan amendments must address the development of traditional and alternative water
supplies, bulk sales agreements and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new
development for at least a 10 -year planning period. The Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan will
have the same planning time schedule consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Lower East Coast Water
Supply Plan Update.
The adopted and presently effective Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan includes several Goals,
Objectives and Policies (GOPs) that implement water supply concurrency and conservation. Proposed amendments
to these GOPs have been included in the Monroe County 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which the BOCC transmitted
to the State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) at their January 14, 2015 special meeting. On
April 28, 2015, DEO issued its Objections, Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) Report on the proposed
amendments. The ORC report contained no objections to the proposed changes within these GOPs, and they are
anticipated to be adopted by the BOCC at their April 13, 2016 special meeting.
On July 15, 2015, the BOCC adopted a resolution transmitting the proposed ordinance amending the Monroe
County Comprehensive Plan, adopting the 10 -year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan update, to DEO.
On October 19, 2015, the County received DEO's ORC report regarding the proposed amendment. The ORC report
identified two objections and two comments. The County must address the two identified objections and determine
whether to adopt the amendment, adopt the amendment with changes or not adopt the amendment. The County is
not required to make modifications relative to the two comments.
The ORC report's first objection relates to Goals, Objectives, and Policies (GOPs) proposed under the County's
Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) that were not yet adopted. DEO's recommendation states: Remove the
Goals, Objectives, and Policies referenced in Section 5.0 of the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. Alternatively,
include these policies within the Ordinance for explicit adoption and include them within their respective elements
within the Comprehensive Plan. However, if the Evaluation and Appraisal Review -based amendments are adopted
prior to this amendment's adoption, and includes these policies verbatim, they may remain within the Water Supply
Facilities Work Plan. Staff is proposing to leave the GOPs within the Work Plan, since they will be adopted at the
April 13, 2016 public hearing as part of the EAR -based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan (prior to this item).
The ORC report's second objection relates to Policies regarding a five year timeframe for considering the
vulnerability of public infrastructure to sea level rise. DEO's recommendation states: Use the available data and
analysis to identify points along a sea level rise continuum that threaten public infrastructure. The County can then
identify approximate planning time frames for addressing those risks. The County's response to the second
objection is that the County does not currently have data available regarding the elevations of water supply
facilities; the data or mapping capabilities to analyze the projected 3" to 7" rise; or a specific timeline of estimated
future sea level rise. Additional time is necessary to allow the county to obtain additional data on both the water
supply facilities and LIDAR or comparable elevation data. Further, the referenced policies are proposed as part of
the new Energy and Climate Element in the EAR -based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. These policies
have been transmitted to the State, and the County received DEO's ORC report on April 28, 2015, which identified
no objections or comments regarding the policies. As specified in the EAR -based amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan, the County will complete this analysis within 5 years of the adoption of the 2030
Comprehensive Plan.
The County has 180 days from receipt of the ORC report to adopt, adopt with changes, or not adopt the proposed
amendment. The deadline for adoption is April 16, 2016. Staff has prepared a response to the ORC report's
objections (included in staff report) and is recommending that the BOCC adopt the amendments.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
On June 2, 2009, the BOCC adopted Ordinance 021 -2009, amending the Monroe County 2010 Comprehensive
Plan to revise sections of the Potable Water Element and the Intergovernmental Coordination Element regarding
water supply coneurrency, and adopting a l0 -Year Water Supply Plan.
On July 15, 2015, the BOCC adopted a resolution transmitting the proposed ordinance amending the Monroe
County Comprehensive Plan, adopting the 10 -year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan update, to the State for
review.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) is to
identify and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and new
development within the local government's jurisdiction. Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., requires
local governments to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18
months after the water management district approves a regional water supply plan or its
update. The Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update was approved by the South Florida
Water Management District (SFWMD) on September 12, 2013.
Residents of Monroe County obtain their water directly from the Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority (FKAA), which is responsible for ensuring that enough capacity is available for
existing and future customers.
The Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) will reference the
initiatives already identified in FKAA's 20 -year Water System Capital Improvement Master
Plan. According to state guidelines, the Work Plan and associated comprehensive plan
amendments must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk
sales agreements and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing
and new development for at least a 10 -year planning period. The Monroe County Work Plan
will have the same planning time schedule consistent with the comprehensive plan and the
Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update,
The County's Work Plan is divided into five sections:
Section 1 — Introduction
Section 2 — Background Information
Section 3 — Data and Analysis
Section 4 — Work Plan Projects /Capital Improvement Element/Schedule
Section 5 — Goals, Objectives, Policies
1.1 Statutory History
The Florida Legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2011 sessions to
address the state's water supply needs. These bills, particularly Senate Bills 360 and 444
(2005 legislative session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida Statutes (F.S.)
by strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared by the
water management districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments. In
addition, these bills established the basis for improving coordination between local land use
planning and water supply planning.
1.2 Statutory Requirements
Monroe County has considered the following statutory provisions when updating the Water
Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan):
1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate water
management district's regional water supply plan, [I 63.3177(4)(a), F.S.]
2. Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water
supplies and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S. Data and analysis
demonstrating that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities will be
available to meet projected growth demands must accompany all proposed Future
Land Use Map amendments submitted to the Department for review.
3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities area available to serve new
development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates issuing
a certificate of occupancy and consult with the applicable water supplier prior to
approving a building permit, to determine whether adequate water supplies will be
available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the certificate
of occupancy [s. 163.3180(2)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 20051.
4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General
Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater
Aquifer Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element "), within 18 months after the
water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to:
a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by the
local government from projects identified in the updated Lower East Coast
Regional Water Supply Plan, or the alternative project(s) proposed by the
local government under s. 373.709(8)(b), F.S. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.];
b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects and the
conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet current and future water
use demands within the Lower East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan [s.
163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; and
c. Update the Work Plan for at least a 10 -year planning period for constructing
the public, private, and regional water supply facilities identified in the
element as necessary to serve existing and new development. [s.
163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]
5. Revise the Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include any water supply,
reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during the five -year
period [s. 163.3177(3)(a)4, F.S.].
6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes
described in Paragraph 1 through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to assess
projected water needs and sources for at least a 10 -year planning period, considering
the Lower East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan, as well as applicable consumptive
use permit(s). [s.163.3177 (6)(d), F.S.]
The plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the
existing and projected water use demand for established planning period, considering
the appropriate regional water supply plan. [s.163.3167 (9), F.S.]
7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes
described in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Intergovernmental
Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with the
Lower East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan. [s.163.3177(6)(h)1., F.S.]
8. While an Evaluation and Appraisal Report is not required, local governments are
encouraged to comprehensively evaluate, and, as necessary, update comprehensive
plans to reflect changes in local conditions. The evaluation could address the extent to
which the local government has implemented the need to update their Work Plan,
including the development of alternative water supplies, and determine whether the
identified alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects, bulk
sales agreements, and conservation and reuse programs are meeting local water use
demands. [s.163.3191 (3) F.S.]
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Overview
Monroe County was incorporated in 1824, making it one of the first counties established in
the State of Florida. Monroe County includes an approximately 112 -mile long string of
islands served by Highway US 1, an area of approximately 1,200,344 acres bounded by the
Atlantic Ocean to the east and south, the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Bay to the west, and
Miami -Dade County to the north. Incorporated municipalities within Monroe County
encompass 12,678 acres, which include Key West, Marathon, Key Colony Beach, Layton,
and Islamorada. A non - contiguous uninhabited mainland portion of Monroe County totaling
944,275 acres is located within Everglades National Park with another 126,437 acres located
within Big Cypress National Park. Fort Jefferson/Dry Tortugas National Parks total almost
64,379 acres. The remaining unincorporated area totals 51,747 acres or approximately 81
square miles.
Monroe County has limited or restricted growth potential. Future development potential and
population growth is limited by linear geography, the amount of land already in public
ownership, and the scarcity of vacant and developable land, together with growth restrictions
dictated by the County's Residential Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) and Non -
Residential Rate of Growth Ordinance (NROGO). These growth ordinances were developed
following designation of the Florida Keys Area of Critical State Concern and the completion
of the Florida Keys Carrying Capacity Study. The unincorporated County's total ROGO
annual allocation for new residential building permits is 197 dwelling units per year, and the
County allocates 47,083 square feet of new floor area for nonresidential uses. This provides
the FKAA with a firm basis for predicting future water supply allocation needs.
Existing land use data in the 2011 Technical Document of the Monroe County
Comprehensive Plan reveals that 4,988 acres or 6.8% of the total gross acreage in the
unincorporated County (outside the mainland portion) is dedicated to residential uses. The
remaining gross acreages are allocated to nonresidential uses such as commercial (1.2 %);
industrial (0.6 %); institutional (0.2 %); recreational (1.8 %); military (5.5 %); conservation
(75.9 %); and vacant or undeveloped (3.2 %). The County does not anticipate substantial
increases in land area in the near future, unless there is policy decision from the
municipalities for dissolution. In the meantime, the residential and nonresidential growth rate
is anticipated to be minimal for the next 10 to 20 years due to ROGO and NROGO.
2.2 Relevant Regional Issues
As the state agency responsible for water supply in the Lower East Coast planning area, the
SFWMD plays a pivotal role in resource protection, through criteria used for Consumptive
Use Permitting. As pressure increased on the Everglades ecosystem resource, the Governing
Board initiated rule - making to limit increased allocations dependent on the Everglades
system. As a result, the Regional Water Availability Rule was adopted by the Governing
Board on February 15, 2007 as part of the SFWMD's water use permit program. This reduced
reliance on the regional system for future water supply needs, and mandates the development
of alternative water supplies and an increase in the use of conservation and reuse techniques.
The regional issues identified for 2030 in the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update
(adopted September 12, 2013) include:
1. Increased withdrawals from both the Surficial Aquifer System (SAS) and surface
water from Lake Okeechobee are limited;
2. Conservation continues to be relied upon to reduce per capita use and as a means to
potentially delay or perhaps avoid adding capacity;
3. Use of reclaimed water continues to be an important alternative source in the region
and helps to meet requirements of the 2008 Leah G. Schad Ocean Outfall Program;
and
4. The FKAA wellfield in Florida City is indicated as a Utility at Risk from saltwater
intrusion.
The sole source provider of potable water to Monroe County is FKAA, whose wellfield is
located in Florida City. As stated above, the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update
indicates the FKAA wellfield as a Utility at Risk relative to saltwater intrusion based on
SFWMD's updated analysis of utilities facing saltwater intrusion in 2007 following an
extended period of dry weather and concerns for accelerated saltwater intrusion. SFWMD
anticipates reformulating its analysis of utilities at risk and utilities of concern prior to the
next update of the LEC plan. This, along with the limited availability of SAS withdrawals,
presents a potential risk to the water supply for all of Monroe County. FKAA is a permitted
Floridan Aquifer User, which should offset any anticipated drought- driven salt water
intrusion event. FKAA also operates reverse osmosis facilities in Marathon and Stock Island.
Other regional water issues have been identified by the Southeast Florida Regional Climate
Change Compact, which includes Palm Beach, Broward, Miami -Dade and Monroe Counties.
The Compact communities have agreed to use a sea level rise prediction of between 3 and 7
inches by 2030, and between 9 and 24 inches by the year 2060 for planning purposes in the
Southeast Florida region until more definitive information on future sea level rise is available
(the Compact's A Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida, April, 2011). The
potential landward movement of the salt water intrusion line resulting from the impact of sea
level rise may affect future decisions regarding the implementation of capital improvements,
requiring adaptation mitigation strategies to preserve the potable water supply. Monroe
County's climate change and sustainability consultants have recently summarized hydrologic
modeling by the United States Geological Survey that suggests relatively low risk to the
FKAA wellfields in Florida City under even the worst -case 2060 sea level rise scenarios.
However, FKAA continues to monitor the most current data and analysis regarding this
issue.
To address these issues, FKAA's strategic goals include encouragement of water
conservation and reuse through their grant and rebate incentive programs for customers and
continued development of their reclaimed water program. Additionally, as shown in Figure
30 of the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update, FKAA is a permitted Floridan
Aquifer User, which should offset any anticipated drought- driven salt water intrusion event.
Further, FKAA also operates RO facilities in Marathon and Stock Island, with a combined
supply capacity of 3 MGD, as an alternative water source for the county during emergencies
and extreme peaks in demand.

3.1 Population Information
The County's existing and future population figures are derived from the projections
prepared by Fishkind and Associates for the Monroe County 2030 Comprehensive Plan
Update (March 15, 2011). The methodology for the preparation of these projections was
approved by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (formerly known as the
Department of Community Affairs (DCA). Table 9 of this report identifies unincorporated
functional population (permanent and seasonal) projections from 2000 — 2030. In 2000, the
unincorporated functional population was 69,277. This increased to 70,808 in 2010 and is
projected to be 71,763 in 2015; 72,494 in 2020; 73,225 in 2025; and 73,956 in 2030, The
projection reflects a total increase of 4,679 in population with a predicted decrease in
permanent population and increase in seasonal population.
The relatively minor increase in population growth is reflective of the fact that County
development is substantially constrained, with future development potential and population
growth limited by the amount of land in public ownership and the scarcity of vacant
developable land, together with growth restrictions dictated by the County's Residential Rate
of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) and Non- Residential Rate of Growth Ordinance (NROGO).
These growth ordinances were developed following designation of the Florida Keys Area of
State Critical Concern and the completion of the Florida Keys Carrying Capacity Study. The
County's total ROGO annual allocation for new residential building permits is 197 dwelling
units per year. This provides a firm basis for predicting future water supply allocation needs.
3.2 Maps of Current and Future Areas Served
A map depicting current and future County boundaries served by the FKAA is included as
Figure 1 on page 8 of this document.
3.3 Potable Water Level of Service (LOS) Standard
Pursuant to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, Monroe County has an adopted Potable Water
LOS of 132 gallons /capita/day. The FKAA has recommended an overall LOS for Monroe
County of 100 gallons /capita/day, and this adjustment has been included in the Monroe
County 2030 Comprehensive Plan update (to be adopted in 2016). The unincorporated

3.4 Population and Potable Water Demand Projections
The population estimates and projections and the potable water demand projections for
unincorporated Monroe County are presented below in Table 1. The projections are through
the year 2030. The population projections are consistent with the other elements of the
comprehensive plan. The water demands are for finished water.

Schnars, P.A.; Fishkind and Associates)
The FKAA Projected Finished Water Demand compares projected population and potable
water demand for the entire FKAA service area. In summary, FKAA's average daily water
demand for the entire service area is expected to increase from 16.22 MGD in 2010 to 17.76
MOD in 2015 and 21.48 MGD in 2030.
3.5 Water Supply Provided by Local Government
Monroe County does not supply potable water to Unincorporated Monroe County and its
municipalities.
3.6 Water Supply Provided by Other Entities
The Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority (FKAA) is the sole provider of potable water in the
Florida Keys, established by Special Legislation, Chapter 76 -441, L.O.F. (as amended).
FKAA's primary water supply is the Biscayne Aquifer, a shallow groundwater source. The
FKAA's wellfield is located within an environmentally protected pine rockland forest west of
Florida City. The location of the wellfield near Everglades National Park, along with
restrictions enforced by state and local regulatory agencies, contributes to the unusually high
water quality. These wells contain some of the highest quality groundwater in the state,
meeting all regulatory standards prior to treatment. Additionally, the FKAA is continually
monitoring, assessing, and working to eliminate potential hazards to our water source,
including inappropriate aquifer utilization, unsuitable land uses, and the potential for
saltwater intrusion.
The groundwater from the wellfield is treated at the FKAA's Water Treatment Facility in
Florida City, which currently has a maximum water treatment design capacity of 29.8 million
gallons per day (MGD). The primary water treatment process is a conventional lime
softening/filtration water treatment plant and is capable of treating up to 23.8 MGD from the
Biscayne Aquifer. The secondary water treatment process is the newly constructed reverse
osmosis (RO) water treatment plant which is capable of producing 6 MGD from the brackish
Floridan Aquifer. The product water from these treatment processes is then disinfected and
fluoridated. The FKAA treated water is pumped 130 miles from Florida City to Key West
supplying water to the entire Florida Keys.
The FKAA maintains storage tank facilities which provide an overall storage capacity of 45.2
million gallons system wide. The sizes of tanks vary from 0.2 to 5.0 million gallons. These
tanks are utilized during periods of peak water demand and serve as an emergency water
supply. Since the existing transmission line serves the entire Florida Keys (including Key
West), and storage capacity is an integral part of the system, the capacity of the entire system
must be considered together, rather than in separate service districts.
Additionally, two saltwater RO plants, located on Stock Island and Marathon, are available to
produce potable water under emergency conditions. The RO desalination plants have design
capacities of 2.0 and 1.0 MGD, respectively.
At present, Key West and Ocean Reef are the only areas of the County served by a flow of
potable water sufficient to fight fires. Outside of Key West, firefighters rely on a variety of
water sources, including tankers, swimming pools, and salt water either from drafting sites on
the open water or from specially constructed fire wells. Although sufficient flow to fight fires
is not guaranteed, new hydrants are being installed as water lines are replaced to make water
available for fire- fighting purposes, and pump station /tank facilities are being upgraded to
provide additional fire flow and pressure. A map of the key FKAA transmission and
distribution facilities is shown in Figure 1 on the following page.

Demand for Potable Water
Figures 2 and 3 provide a historical overview of the water demands in the FKAA service area
including Water Use Permit (WUP) allocation limits, yearly percent changes, and remaining
water allocations. In March 2008, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
approved the FKAA's modification of WUP 13- 00005 -5 -W for a 20 -year allocation from the
Biscayne and Floridan Aquifers. This modified WUP provides an annual allocation of 8,751
Million Gallons (MG) or 23.98 MGD and a maximum monthly allocation of 809 MG with a
limited annual withdrawal from the Biscayne Aquifer of 6,492 MG or 17.79 MGD and an
average dry season (December 1 -April 30 of 17.0 MGD.
In order to meet the requirements of this limitation, the FKAA constructed a new Floridan
Aquifer Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment system. This RO water treatment system is
designed to withdraw brackish water from the Floridan Aquifer, an alternative water source
approximately 1,000 feet below the ground surface, and treat the water to drinking water
standards. The RO water treatment plant provides added capability to limit Biscayne aquifer
withdrawals and is designed to meet current and future water demands. The RO water
treatment system provides an additional 6.0 MGD of potable water.
Along with the new reverse osmosis water treatment plant, compliance with withdrawal
limits can also be accomplished by using other alternative water sources (blending of the
Floridan Aquifer, reclaimed water and operation of the RO desalination plants), pressure
reduction, public outreach, and assistance from municipal agencies in enforcing water
conservation ordinances.

As shown in Figure 5 on the following page, in 2414, the FKAA distributed an annual
average of 16.83 MGD from the Biscayne Aquifer plus 0.64 MGD from Floridan RO
Production. This table also provides the water treatment capacities of the emergency RO
plants. Since the emergency RO plants utilize seawater, a WUP is not required for these
facilities.
The 2014 figures and projections for 2015 indicate a slight increase in annual average daily
demand Iron 17i47'to 1276! MGD and an increase in maximum monthly demand from
546.94 MGD to 596.29 MG.

Improvements to Potable Water Facilities
FKAA has a 20 -year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan for water supply,
water treatment, transmission mains and booster pump stations, distribution mains, facilities
and structures, information technology, reclaimed water systems, and Navy water systems.
In 1989, FKAA embarked on the Distribution System Upgrade Program to replace
approximately 190 miles of galvanized lines throughout the Keys. FKAA continues to
replace and upgrade its distribution system throughout the Florida Keys and the schedule for
these upgrades is reflected in their long -range capital improvement plan. The FKAA's Water
Distribution System Upgrade Plan included the upgrade or replacement of approximately
58,000 feet of water main during fiscal year 2014.
The master plan was revised in 2013 to include the critical projects, as summarized in Figure
7. Figure 7 also provides the schedule and costs projected for the capital improvements to the
potable /alternative water systems planned by the FKAA. The total cost of the scheduled
improvements is approximately $34 million over the next 5 years. These projects are to be
funded by the water rate structure, long -term bank loans, and grants.

In summary, based on current conditions and projects, an adequate supply of water to meet
current and future demands is provided by the following: The Biscayne permitted water
supply of 17.79 MGD, the 6.0 MGD RO water treatment plant, the new reclaimed water
systems, and the ability to operate the 3.0 MGD RO desalination plants during emergency
situations. The FKAA continues to monitor and track conditions and events that could
negatively impact the existing water supply. Any such impacts will be evaluated to determine
future changes necessary to continue servicing Monroe County with adequate water supply.
3.7 Conservation
One method of reducing water use and increasing the availability potable water is the
implementation of Best Management Practices for water use. Mandatory outdoor water
12
restrictions, water rate pricing and xeriscape landscaping that utilizes native flora can all
assist in reducing potable water demand and the impacts of future growth.
3.7.1 County -Wide Issues
Water conservation is one method available to promote the reduction of use and increase of
availability of potable water. FKAA implements a high base water rate for water use, which
effectively deters wasteful water use. Implementation of mandatory year -round watering
restrictions also aid in conserving water.
3.7.2 Local Government Specific Actions. Proerams. Reeulations, or Opportunities
Monroe County will coordinate future water conservation efforts with the FKAA and the
SFWMD to ensure that proper techniques are applied. In addition, the County will continue
to support and existing goals, objectives and policies in the comprehensive plan that promote
water conservation in a cost - effective and environmentally sound manner. The County will
also continue to actively support the SFWMD and FKAA in the implementation of new
regulations or programs that are structured to conserve water during the dry season.
Monroe County has also adopted an Interlocal Agreement between FKAA and Monroe
County that will ensure the availability of potable water prior to the issuance of a building
permit. This agreement is to be referenced in the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the
Monroe County 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update as Policy 1301.1.16, which states:
3.8 Reuse
Water reuse is a method for supplementing water availability. Desalination at the source
through reverse osmosis is presently incorporated within the design of new water treatment
facilities that tap into the Floridan Aquifer. Some local communities, such as Key Colony
Beach, use recycled water to irrigate its municipal golf course. However, the cost of
developing a centralized collection, treatment, and distribution system for recycled water in a
county such as Monroe that is less than 5 miles wide and 112 miles long creates significant
feasibility challenges.
Monroe County, together with FKAA and the Key Largo Sanitary Sewer District, has
implemented a public infrastructure program to construct and operate central sewer
collection and treatment systems. Sewage treatment facilities will have the capability to make
available gray water for non - potable water applications, such as irrigation for County parks
and landscaped rights -of -way. However, the lack of possible users has inhibited the
necessary investment to create and maintain a viable reuse water distribution system.
13
3.8.1 Regional and County -wide Issues
State law supports reuse efforts. For the past years, Florida's utilities, local governments, and
water management districts have led the nation in implementing water reuse programs that
increase the quantity of reclaimed water used and public acceptance of reuse programs.
Section 373.250(1) F.S. provides that "water reuse programs designed and operated in
compliance with Florida's rules governing reuse are deemed protective of public health and
environmental quality." In addition, Section 403.064(1), F.S., provides that, "reuse is a
critical component of meeting the State's existing and future water supply needs while
sustaining natural systems."
3.8.2 Local Government Specific Actions, Programs, Regulations, or Opportunities
The County will support the SFWMD and FKAA water reuse projects and implementation of
new regulations or programs designed to increase the volume of reclaimed water used and
public acceptance of reclaimed water.
The County has established regulations limiting the clearing of native habitat and requiring
landscaping consisting of native plants, which are more drought tolerant and demand less
irrigation than most non - native species. Incentives for the installation of cistern rain
collection systems are also encouraged, such as the granting of positive points in the Rate of
Growth Ordinance permit allocation system.
3.9 Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Southeast Florida is widely considered one of the most vulnerable regions to the impacts of
climate change and sea level rise. This is especially true of the Florida Keys, a 110 mile
string of offshore islands connected by US 1 to Miami -Dade County. As discussed earlier,
potential landward movement of the salt water intrusion line resulting from the impact of sea
level rise may affect future decisions regarding the implementation of capital improvements,
requiring adaptation mitigation strategies to preserve the potable water supply. Monroe
County's climate change and sustainability consultants have recently summarized hydrologic
modeling by the United States Geological Survey that suggests relatively low risk to the
FKAA wellfields in Florida City under even the worst -case 2060 sea level rise scenarios.
However, FKAA continues to monitor the most current data and analysis regarding this
issue.
3.10 Local Government Specific Actions, Programs, Regulations, or Opportunities
FKAA presently operates two reverse osmosis (RO) plants within Monroe County, in
Marathon and Stock Island, which have a combined production capacity of 3 MGD. A
Floridan wellfield and RO water treatment facility were constructed by FKAA in Florida
City and have been operational since the fall of 2009. This RO water treatment plant treats
the brackish water of the Floridan Aquifer and has a production capacity of 6 MGD. Storage
facilities maintained by the FKAA have a total storage capacity of 45.2 MG; of this amount,
there is 12 MG of storage available in above ground storage reservoirs at Florida City. The
remaining capacity is obtained from tanks located throughout the transmission and
distribution system that provide an additional 33.2 MG of storage capacity. It is therefore
14
anticipated that FKAA will be well positioned to accommodate Monroe County's future
water demands as sea level rise impacts South Florida's regional water supply.
4.0 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 Work Plan Projects
The FKAA 20 -Year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan identifies all proposed
work projects within Monroe County (See Exhibit A: Section 7.2 of the master plan).
4.2 Capital Improvements Element/Schedule
Monroe County presently has a proposed LOS of 100 gallons /capita/day (2030
Comprehensive Plan Update). The County will continue to work with FKAA to ensure that
the adopted LOS is maintained. Adoption by reference of Section 7.2 of the FKAA 20 -Year
Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan (see Exhibit A) will link water availability
and programmed improvements with the County's Concurrency Management System
through the establishment of a permit review and approval process that requires evidence of
water supply availability prior to the issuance of a building permit and certificate of
occupancy.
Exhibit 7 -2 of the FKAA 20 -Year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan will serve
as Monroe County's 10 -year Water Supply Plan and CIE for potable water (see Exhibit A).
5.0 GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The adopted and presently effective Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan
includes several Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) that implement water supply
concurrency and conservation. These GOPs are located within the Potable Water Element,
Intergovernmental Coordination Element, Conservation and Coastal Management Element,
Future Land Use Element and Capital Improvements Element. The following proposed
amendments have been included in the Monroe County 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which the
BOCC approved for transmittal to the State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity

identifv the infrastructure within those areas its useful life and any retrofits or
capital projects necessary to address the impacts of sea level rise. "These
stratepjes may include defense accommodation or and, retreat proiects, or not
building planned infrastructure in vulnerable locations to address the impacts
of sea level rise Monroe Countv will consider developing design criteria. in
conjunction with a broader asset management planning process.

programs.
Policy 1503.1.7
Within live (5) years after the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan,
Monroe Countv shall determine the appropriate climate chamu considerations
(including but not limited to. emergency management, flood risk, storm surge,
,threats to potable water supply, the potential for changing habitat and Formatted: Pattem: Clear

land use amendments.
6.0 REGIONAL ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY PLANS
6.1 Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update, September 12, 2013
The sole source provider of potable water to Monroe County is FKAA, whose wellfield is
located in Florida City. The Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update indicates that the
FKAA wellfield as a Utility At Risk from saltwater intrusion, but also states that the FKAA
is a permitted Floridan Aquifer User, which should offset any anticipated drought- driven salt
water intrusion event. FKAA also operates RO facilities in Marathon and Stock Island.
6.2 Integrating Climate Change & Water Supply Planning In Southeast Florida,
Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, June 10, 2014
The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, which includes Palm Beach,
Broward, Miami -Dade and Monroe Counties, predicts that the sea level will rise between 9
and 24 inches by 2100 (the Compact's A Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast
Florida [April, 2011] predicts that the sea level will rise between 3 and 7 inches by 2030).
This may have implications regarding the ability of the local utility to provide fresh potable
water from the Biscayne Aquifer to Monroe County as the salt water intrusion line shifts
westward towards the FKAA wellfield. Monroe County's climate change and sustainability
consultants have recently summarized hydrologic modeling by the United States Geological
Survey that suggests relatively low risk to the FKAA wellfields in Florida City under even
the worst -case 2060 sea level rise scenarios. However, FKAA continues to monitor the most
current data and analysis regarding this issue.

Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Update
SECTION 7. C APITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
7.2 Water Infrastructure System
7.2.1 Major System Upgrades
The CIP identifies many short- and long -term improvements to the water transmission,
distribution, water storage, raw water supply, and the water treatment plants. Upgrades to
the Water Infrastructure System will increase water treatment and storage capacities, and
improve flows and pressures to meet anticipated water demands. Significant upgrades and
proposed new facilities to the water treatment plants are planned to improve the reliability
and quality of FKAA's drinking water. A specific goal is to provide high quality water that
will meet future regulatory standards and will be able to meet projected water demands.
Major improvements to the water system include a new Floridan aquifer wellfield that will
serve a new LPRO treatment facility at the J Robert Dean WTP in Florida City, multiple
rehabilitation or upgrade projects at both the Kermit H. Lewin Desalination WTP and the
Marathon Desalination WTP facility to increase reliability and capacity to meet emergency
and peak day flows, and various transmission/ distribution line replacements, distribution
pump station upgrades, and improved water storage tanks to improve delivery capacity of
the system.
Exhibit 7 -2 shows all planned project improvements from 2006 through 2025 and associated
order of magnitude cost estimates. The total estimated cost (in 2006 dollars) of these
improvements is $208,606,402 during the next 20 years.

'Facilities and Structures are not included in the detailed discussions in previous sections of this Master Plan document. Only
order of magnitude costs included in Section 7 (per FKAA).
7.2.2 Basis of Project Cost Estimates
For master planning purposes, planning level cost estimates are order -of- magnitude esti-
mates. As defined by the American Association of Cost Engineers, order -of- magnitude cost
estimates are believed to be accurate within a range of 30 percent below, to 50 percent
above, actual costs.

SECTION 7. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Project cost estimates reflect April 2006 costs (Engineering News Record Construction Cost
Index of 7,695).
Actual costs for any given project would depend on multiple factors, including, but not
limited to, actual material and market costs, competitive market conditions, final project
scope, implementation schedule, and other variable factors. As FKAA is aware from recent
construction projects, prices are also highly subject to variation as a result of shortages
resulting from recent natural disasters. As a result, the final project costs will vary from the
estimates presented herein.
Because of such factors as limited labor force, high cost of housing, and high cost of goods
and services, Keys construction costs are greater than costs for comparable work on the
mainland of South Florida. Generally, a 20 percent "Keys Factor' is added to Keys
construction cost estimates to account for the Keys market conditions.
Wherever possible, actual construction prices recently received by FKAA for different types
of work (that is, distribution system pipelines, distribution pump stations, storage tank
painting) have been used to develop cost estimates for this Master Plan, adjusted to April
2006 costs, where noted. These costs already account for Keys market conditions and
generally provide the most accurate cost estimates at this planning stage when only a
conceptual design is available.
Where actual construction prices for similar types of recent work are not available, standard
estimating procedures are used to estimate construction costs.
Other costs, such as consulting and engineering inspection, administration, legal, and
financing, are part of any project and must be included with construction costs, so that all
capital improvement costs are accounted for. For this Master Plan, these other project costs
are estimated as follows:
• An amount of 20 percent of the construction cost was used for consulting and
engineering inspection, administration, legal, and financing.
• A contingency of 15 percent of the subtotal of construction cost and the 20 percent cost
above was also included as part of the other project costs.
Total project costs are the total of the construction cost and the other project costs. All capital
improvement costs addressed in this Master Plan are total project costs, unless otherwise
indicated.
Estimated project costs for all proposed water system capital improvements are sum-
marized in Exhibit 7 -2. The basis for estimating detailed construction costs and total project
costs for specific projects is provided in the respective sections of this Master Plan.

MEMORANDUM
MONROE COUNTY PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
We strive to be caring, professional and fair
To: Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
Through: Maytd Santamaria, Senior Director of Planning & Environmental Resources
From: Emily Schemper, Comprehensive Planning Manager
Date: March 18, 2016
Subject: 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Update
Meeting: April 13, 2016
L REQUEST
The Planning & Environmental Resources Department is requesting to amend the Monroe County 2010
Comprehensive Plan to adopt a 10 -year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan update, in accordance with
Section 163.3177(6)(c) of the Florida Statues which requires that the Infrastructure Element of the
Comprehensive Plan incorporate a 10 -Year Water Supply Plan that identifies alternative water supply
projects, traditional water supply projects, conservation and reuse to meet identified water needs.
H. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The purpose of the Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) is to identify and
plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and new development within the
local government's jurisdiction. Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., requires local governments to prepare and
adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18 months after the water management district
approves a regional water supply plan or its update. The Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update
was approved by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) on September 12, 2013.
Residents of Monroe County obtain their water directly from the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority
(FKAA), which is responsible for ensuring that enough capacity is available for existing and future
customers.
The Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) references the initiatives already
identified in FKAA's 20 -year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan. According to state
guidelines, the Work Plan and associated comprehensive plan amendments must address the
development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements and conservation and
reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 10 -year planning
File #2014-100 Pagel of 7
period. The Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan will have the same planning time
schedule consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update.
The adopted and presently effective Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan includes several
Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) that implement water supply concurrency and conservation.
These GOPs are located within the Potable Water Element, Intergovernmental Coordination Element,
Conservation and Coastal Management Element, Future Land Use Element and Capital Improvements
Element. Proposed amendments to these GOPs have been included in the Monroe County 2030
Comprehensive Plan, which the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved for transmittal to
the State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) at their January 14, 2015 special
meeting. A new Energy and Climate Element was also included as part of the proposed amendments. On
April 28, 2015, DEO issued its Objections, Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) report on the
proposed amendments. The ORC report contained no objections to the proposed changes within these
GOPs, and they are anticipated to be adopted by the BOCC at their April 13, 2016 special meeting.
At its regularly scheduled meeting on September 23, 2014, the Monroe County Development Review
Committee reviewed the proposed amendment and the Chair recommended approval to the Planning
Commission and BOCC, memorialized in Resolution DRC18 -15.
At its regularly scheduled meeting on January 28, 2015, the Monroe County Planning Commission held
a public hearing to consider the proposed amendment and recommended approval to the BOCC,
memorialized in PC Resolution P02 -15 (Exhibit A).
On July 15, 2015, at its regularly scheduled meeting, the BOCC adopted Resolution 186 -2015 (Exhibit
B) transmitting the proposed ordinance amending the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, adopting the
10 -year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan update, to the State of Florida for review by the Department
of Economic Opportunity (DEO).
On October 19, 2015, the County received DEO's ORC report regarding the proposed amendment
(Exhibit Q. The ORC report identified two objections and two comments. The County must address the
two identified objections and determine whether to adopt the amendment, adopt the amendment with
changes or not adopt the amendment. The County is not required to make modifications relative to the
two comments. The County has 180 days from receipt of the ORC report to adopt, adopt with changes,
or not adopt the proposed amendment. The deadline for adoption is April 16, 2016.
The first objection identified in the ORC report states:
Section 5.0 of the Monroe County Water supply Facilities Work Plan contains Goals, Objectives,
and Policies that were proposed under the County's Evaluation and Appraisal Review. These
policies have not yet been adopted....Adopting the Water Supply Plan containing the draft
policies would make them part of the Comprehensive Plan. Subsequent adoption or modification
of these policies may create inconsistencies within the Comprehensive Plan.
The recommendation in the ORC report regarding this objection is:
Remove the Goals, Objectives, and Policies referenced in Section 5.0 of the Water Supply
Facilities Work Plan. Alternatively, include these policies within the Ordinance for explicit
adoption and include them within their respective elements within the Comprehensive Plan.
However, if the Evaluation and Appraisal Review -based amendments are adopted prior to this
File # 2014 -100
Page 2 of 7
amendment's adoption, and includes these policies verbatim, they may remain within the Water
Supply Facilities Work Plan.
The GOPs referenced in Section 5.0 of the Work Plan are included in the proposed EAR -based
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, which are anticipated to be adopted at the April 13, 2016
special meeting of the BOCC. Based on guidance received from the South Florida Water Management
District regarding preparation of the Work Plan, the relevant GOPs from the County's Comprehensive
Plan should be included in the Work Plan. Therefore, in response to DEO's first objection, staff is
proposing to leave the GOPs within the Work Plan, assuming they are adopted at the April 13, 2016
public hearing as part of the EAR -based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
The second objection identified in the ORC report is directed at Policies 1502.1.5, 1502.1.6 and
1502.1.7, regarding a five year timeframe for considering the vulnerability of public infrastructure to sea
level rise. The recommendation in the ORC report is:
Use the available data and analysis to identify points along a sea level rise continuum that
threaten public infrastructure. The County can then identify approximate planning time frames
for addressing those risks.
The County does not currently have data available regarding the elevations of water supply facilities; the
data or mapping capabilities to analyze the projected 3" to 7" rise; or a specific timeline of estimated
future sea level rise. Additional time is necessary to allow the county to obtain additional data on both
the water supply facilities and LIDAR or comparable elevation data. Further, the referenced policies are
proposed as part of the new Energy and Climate Element in the EAR -based amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan. These policies have been transmitted to the State, and the County received DEO's
ORC report on April 28, 2015, which identified no objections or comments regarding the policies. They
are anticipated to be adopted at the April 13, 2016 special meeting of the BOCC as part of the proposed
EAR -based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. In response to the second objection in the ORC
report, staff is proposing to leave reference to Policies 1502.1.5, 1502.1.6 and 1502.1.7 within the Work
Plan, assuming they are adopted at the April 13, 2016 public hearing as part of the EAR -based
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
III. PROPOSED AMENDMENT
Staff recommends the following changes (Additions are underlined and in green Text to remain the
same is in black):
Policy 701.1.86
Monroe County adopts the Monroe County 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan update
dated March. 2016, by reference into the Comprehensive Plan Monroe County shall update the
10 -year Water Supply Work Plan every 5 years or within 18 months after the governing board of
the South Florida Water Management District approves an updated regional water supply plan.
IV. CONSISTENCY WITH THE MONROE COUNTY YEAR 2010 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,
THE FLORIDA STATUTES, AND PRINCIPLES FOR GUIDING DEVELOPMENT`
A. The proposed amendment is generally consistent with the following Goals, Objectives and
Policies of the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, it furthers:
File # 2014 -100 Page 3 of 7
The proposed amendment will support and enhance the level of service standards identified
within the Potable Water Element and ensure the availability of water supply as identified within
the Capital Improvements Element and the Intergovernmental Coordination Element.
B. The proposed amendment is consistent with Part II of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
Specifically, the amendment furthers:
163.3177(1), F.S. — The comprehensive plan shall provide the principles, guidelines, standards,
and strategies for the orderly and balanced future economic, social, physical, environmental,
and fiscal development of the area that reflects community commitments to implement the plan
and its elements. These principles and strategies shall guide future decisions in a consistent
manner and shall contain programs and activities to ensure comprehensive plans are
implemented. The sections of the comprehensive plan containing the principles and strategies,
generally provided as goals, objectives, and policies, shall describe how the local government's
programs, activities, and land development regulations will be initiated, modified, or continued
to implement the comprehensive plan in a consistent manner. It is not the intent of this part to
require the inclusion of implementing regulations in the comprehensive plan but rather to
require identification of those programs, activities, and land development regulations that will
be part of the strategy for implementing the comprehensive plan and the principles that
describe how the programs, activities, and land development regulations will be carried out.
The plan shall establish meaningful and predictable standards for the use and development of
land and provide meaningful guidelines for the content of more detailed land development and
use regulations.
163.3177(6)c3, F.S. — Within 18 months after the governing board approves an updated regional
water supply plan, the element must incorporate the alternative water supply project or projects
selected by the local government from those identified in the regional water supply plan
pursuant to s. 373.709 (2)(a) or proposed by the local government under s. 373.709 (8)(b). If a
local government is located within two water management districts, the local government shall
adopt its comprehensive plan amendment within 18 months after the later updated regional
water supply plan. The element must identify such alternative water supply projects and
traditional water supply projects and conservation and reuse necessary to meet the water needs
identified in s. 373.709 (2)(a) within the local government's jurisdiction and include a work
plan, covering at least a 10 -year planning period, for building public, private, and regional
water supply facilities, including development of alternative water supplies, which are
identified in the element as necessary to serve existing and new development. The work plan
shall be updated, at a minimum, every 5 years within 18 months after the governing board of a
water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan. Local
governments, public and private utilities, regional water supply authorities, special districts,
and water management districts are encouraged to cooperatively plan for the development of
multijurisdictional water supply facilities that are sufficient to meet projected demands for
established planning periods, including the development of alternative water sources to
supplement traditional sources of groundwater and surface water supplies.
163.3180(1)(b), F.S. — The local government comprehensive plan must demonstrate, for required
or optional concurrency requirements, that the levels of service adopted can be reasonably met.
Infrastructure needed to ensure that adopted level -of- service standards are achieved and
File # 2014 -100 Page 4 of 7
maintained for the 5 -year period of the capital improvement schedule must be identified
pursuant to the requirements of s. 163.3177(3).
163.3180(3), F.S. - Governmental entities that are not responsible for providing, financing,
operating, or regulating public facilities needed to serve development may not establish
binding level -of- service standards on governmental entities that do bear those responsibilities.
C. Consistency with the Principles for Guiding Development in the Florida Keys Area of
Critical State Concern:
For the purposes of reviewing consistency of the adopted plan or any amendments to that plan
with the principles for guiding development and any amendments to the principles, the principles
shall be construed as a whole and no specific provision shall be construed or applied in isolation
from the other provisions.
(a) Strengthening local government capabilities for managing land use and development so
that local government is able to achieve these objectives without continuing the area of
critical state concern designation.

OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT
PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
MONROE COUNTY (DEO No. 15- 4ACSC)
Department staff identified the following objections and comments. If the city adopts the
amendment without addressing the objections, the Department many find the amendment not
in compliance pursuant to Section 163.3184(4)(e)4, F.S.
Obiections:
1) Section 5.0 of the Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan contains Goals,
Objectives, and Policies that were proposed under the County's Evaluation and
Appraisal Review. These policies have not yet been adopted. They are not being
explicitly proposed to be adopted within this amendment cycle. However, the Water
Supply Plan is being proposed to be adopted by reference into the Comprehensive Plan.
Adopting the Water Supply Plan containing the draft policies would make them part of
the Comprehensive Plan. Subsequent adoption or modification of these policies may
create inconsistencies within the Comprehensive Plan.
Section: 163.3177(2), F.S.
Recommendation: Remove the Goals, Objectives, and Policies referenced in Section 5.0
of the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. Alternatively, include these policies within the
Ordinance for explicit adoption and include them within their respective elements
within the Comprehensive Plan. However, if the Evaluation and Appraisal Review -based
amendments are adopted prior to this amendment's adoption, and includes these
policies verbatim, they may remain within the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan.
2) Policies 1502.1.5, 1502.1.6, and 1502.1.7 direct the County to, within five years,
consider the vulnerability of public infrastructure to sea level rise, and to consider its
useful life and potential impacts from sea level rise. These policies also contemplate a
2030 planning horizon and assume a fixed range of sea level rise tied to that planning
horizon. Given the uncertainty inherent within sea level rise predictions, the County
would be better served to initially consider its vulnerability apart from a planning
horizon, identify the elevated sea levels that pose greatest level of risk for specific public
infrastructure, and then identify planning timeframes for addressing these risks. The
consideration of these vulnerabilities is required by recent legislative updates to the
Coastal Management Element requirements (Chapter 163.3178(2)(f)).
Section: 163.3177(1)(f), 163.3177(3)(a)1, 163.3177(5)(a), 163.3178(2)(f), F.S.
Recommendation: Use the available data and analysis to identify points along a sea level
rise continuum that threaten public infrastructure. The County can then identify
approximate planning time frames for addressing those risks. As the County moves
forward with the adoption of its EAR -based amendments, it should closely review its
existing and proposed changes to its Coastal Management Element to ensure that it
meets the new requirements and make changes if necessary.
Comments:
1) Objective 701.1 of the policies provided in Section 5.0 of the Water Supply Facilities
Work Plan changes the timing of ensuring that adequate potable water facilities are
available from the issuance of the development permit to the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy or its functional equivalent. Postponing the assurance of adequate capacity
to serve development until after its construction may create issues associated with
available capacity. The county should consider leaving the timing of facility capacity
requirements at the development order stage, as it is for fire flow requirements.
2) Revised Policy 701.1.4 (renumbered as 701.1.3) states "2 shall specify procedures for
updating facility demand and capacity information, utilizing data provided by the FKAA
as potable water facilities are installed or upgraded." This policy „is not a complete
sentence, and should be revised.
