Priar ill es-We chose to focus on EPA educational priorities #1 Capacity Building, (through water data collected by volunteers and used by organizations/decision makers)93 Community Projects,(utilizatlon of place based learning) and US EE Teaching Skills, (through teacher training in water monitor ram These ng) programs EPA environmental priorities #2 Taking Action on Toxics and Chemical Safety® 1 5 r 9 S address (through non-point source pollution education in best management practices) and #4 Protecting Water: A Precious, Limited Resource, (through water quality education) 3 lH) �ifl''wy MGM- This Project will serve as a model on citizen engagement In the field of environmental education„ This project will determine if water quality can be improved through the combination of site.,specirx education and citizen monitoring One or more actual carnal restorations will also take place to determine the effectiveness of the restoration technique(s)so that future restoration#rolects can implement slrnllar measures, Goals,,, The goal of this project is to improve near shore water quality through education of best practices„ development of site specific strategies, volunteer monitoring. reducing barriers to restoration projects and implementing an actual canal restoratlorn project,, Knowledge gained through monitoring will enable dt9zens to see how behavior change affects water guallty. Educating through demonstration of carnal restoration techniques and reducing harriers to restoration options for specific canals allows citizens to determine the(nest management practices for the waters they use. Ptiorltl This program focuses on EPA environmental priorities #4 Protecting Water and #2 Taking Action on T'raxscs and Chemical Safety. The Florida Keys waters are considered a state and national resource but near shoran water quality is a direct result of on shore behavior. Behavior change through education can prevent pollution in canal and smear shore waters The EPA educational priority 92 COP00ty Buildingis identified as important to the project both at the local and state leveL The CIA process to validate the data collected will give assurance to organizations, including the IEPA, who can use the data to determine effectiveness of new or existing polkies and procedures. EPA educational priority#3 Coararrnundy Projimis is another Important aspect of these programs, The utilization of place-based learning including site specific recommendations and hands on monitoring training is essential to engaging citizens in the stewardship of local water resources., Active citizens will participate in monitoring, analyzing and making decisions about their carnal and near shore water Educational priority 09 EE Teaching Skills is met through the targeted teacher training an water quality monitoring and hest practices. This is will done as part of teacher specific workshop series at 40 county schools Background-Many of the 502 carnal systems currently present 9n the Florida Keys were excavated to depths of 2 feet or more 9n order to maximize production of fill mmaterial. Most were designed as long„ multi segmented, dead end carnal networks which maximize waterfront property but provide little or no tidal flushing and accumulate nutirlents and decomposing organic material. Canals within the Florida Keys have recently received considerable attention from regulatory agencies, including EPA, because many are associated with ,poor water quality Canals with poor water quality have the potential to cause significant harm to near shore marine waters upon which the community depends beater quality impairments within canals are most often associated with low dissolved oxygen (DO)as a result of accumulated organic matter or lack of flushing EPA #nvolveawnt Water quality Issues involving manmade canals have been evaluated by the U.5 Environmental Proreatl #ernry (#rurzynskl, 1999)" the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary(FKNMS 2007), and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP 2 ). As summimnarazed on the Monroe County Conal Management Mosher Plan (2013), these issues include anthropo#en9c pollutant loadings from on-site sewage disposal and stormwnaater runoff, and accumulation of non._manthropaagenlc materials such as senescent seagrass leaves and other organic flotsam ("'weed wrack"), leading to elevated levels of nutrients„ n A hydrogen biochemical oxygen demand h 'N a sulfide. and Ibaeraolol8 indicators Kruaczynski (1 99) provided the following summary of water quality issues related to existing Keys canals. ,l t The water column of many canals over six feet deep is stratified and bottom waters are oxygen deficient, Because they usually violate glass 111 Surface Water Quality Standards, canals were excluded from the, State" previous Outstanding Florida beaters( )designations„ . Canal systems and basins with poor water quality are a potential source of nutrients and other contaminants to other near shore waters, 4. Improving flushing of degraded canal systems may improve the water quality within the canal, but may also result on adding additional nutrients to the adjacent waters.and 5 Seagrass beds located near the mouths of some degraded canal systems exhibit signs of undesirable nutrient enrichment and euutroptnlcatlon„such as increased epiphyte load and growth of benthic algae Canal e -Canals that have been identified with poor water quality have the potential to cause significant harm to near shore marine waters upon which the community depends. In response to these documented water quality issues, Monroe Countyselected semen canals in 2013 to design, permit and construct demonstration projects using various restoration techniques (weed barriers, backfighng, culverts, Pumping, and organic re ovall to restore e the water quuallty to acceptable levels. 'fie objectives off the canal restorationdemonstration projects are to implement various restorationtechnl uses to 'verify the apple nllty„ feast ll`uty„ effectiveness, pe ltti ng needs and costs urnreap time on keys nals. The demonstration project results will assist Inmodifying,if required,tine restoration desig ns,and will provide costs that rn be utilized for future restoration planning "one demonstration testing will allow for fuuture"shovel ready pre posals to be prepared and will help to reduce discharges of pollutants from onshore canal systems to near shore and offshoru waters comprehensive Canal Management Moster plan (CM MP)pp was commissioned by Monroe County, with flnanc1al assistance frorn the United States ErivironmE ntol ProtectsAgency (l"I.SFp I, and with approval from the F°lorudo Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKI I S) Water Quolity Protection prom ( pip Goals and ity management issues were established and a framework for Identifyingand correcting water uquuallty Impairments within the entire Florida(Keys carnal network was developed Approximately SIX canals were examined and ranked as part of this effort using a combination of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools and water quality fiend reconnaissance to develop the hest possible assessment, The CMMP development process was directed by the pp"s steering subcommittee known as the Canal pestoroDon Advisory Subcommittee consisting of federal,state, and local agency members 'The Faunal Management Master lllon CMMP addresses items t referenced on page 4 Item S will be addressed by community-the initiation of the following canal restoratior to hnologies, weed wrack a�tes air buu ,r)r,� I'f', ' llr�r r /�;r'F< as described herein.

In addition to the implementation of the above discussed restoration techniques,there are many best management practices(BMPs)that can be easily implemented by homeowners and business owners to protect water quality and require only minimal use of public funds, 8MPs vary from careful selection of fertilizers and landscape plants to proper disposal of fish waste. In addition to providing various BMPs,the �a� In a i i E r J[G€(r I I e#7 p P(,/q r,jp!, will encourage public participation by providing homeowners actual observation and links to an line Information about canal restoration efforts, Education and Outreach- i lo(yfi ',r i, c :,7 j' A,ml`r, h will partner with the Monroe County Sustainability Program to develop a program to educate homeowners about the demonstration projects, canal monitoring and instruct them how to obtain the necessary permits to initiate canal restoration projects in their own canals. Since the canals discharge directly to near shore waters, where the Florida Department of Environmental Protection adopted a "zero-degradation" policy for marise waters, addressing on going canal water quality impairment is of utmost Importance, The state of Florida is riddled with canals similar to those in the Keys; therefore this program could become a model for future programs throughout the state that are dealing with similar issues. The A, o will consult with the homeowners to determine canal specific restoration needs and preferences for design and/or potential issues of which they may be aware and Reach participants about the required permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies. The canal 8MPs and restorations include things that homeowners can implement to assist with limiting impacts to the canal water quality,as well as restoration technologies that will assist with water quality Improvements The restoration technologies focus on increasing dissolved oxygen (DO) levels through reducing organic loading to the canals and/or and improving canal flushing, Monroe County will work with homeowners to identify new methods that Improve the water quality in the canals through new BMPs and restoration techniques Homeowner Stewardship- The University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (9FAS), Monroe County Extension is proposing reaching out to the Keys' residents interested In improvingw1th B canal waterTh quality Numerous resources are available to assist homeowners throughout the Florida e y K e F rda Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) maintains an extensive database 5 M P s lo i atabase of technical RAP literature (http'//www.dep-state.fl us/water/nonpoint/pubs htm).
