Staff Update Report (# 02-02) on Wastewater Master Plan
Implementation Issues
AVAILABLE FUNDS FOR WASTEWATER
Update on FEMA Funds: In preparing its engineering consulting report for Bay Point and
Conch Key projects, CH2MHill identified the possibility that more FEMA funds could be
diverted from the Bay Point project to Conch Key. This transfer of funds will more
equalize these projects by making connection fees and monthly sewer charges more
uniform and equitable between the two projects. (See Attachment A- letter to Roger Braun,
FKAA Executive Director, dated June 12,2002).
FEMA has indicated that transfer of federal funds between projects would be acceptable;
however, recommendations on such transfers can not be made until more cost information
is prepared for all three projects. At this time, the County and FKAA staff are only
requesting authorization from BOCC to consider such transfers as cost data is finalized.
Any such transfers will be subject to BOCC approval.
Update on FDEP Funding Grant: As requested by the BOCC at its June meeting, the staff
has obtained a copy of the specific language from the 2002-2003 General Appropriations
Act of the Florida Legislature, which is attached (Attachments B-1 and B-2) along with an
outline of the requirements for funding eligibility and grant award/distribution process.
The final appropriations was for $11.8 million rather than $12.0 million, as the Governor
line item vetoed funds to the Key Largo Wastewater Treatment District. Therefore,
approximately $4.76 million may be available for other unspecified eligible projects within
Monroe County "hot spots."
Page 1 of 11
The County and FK.AA staff participated in a conference call on July 10, 2002 with the
FDEP, DCA, Governor's Office, and local government representatives concerning the
eligibility requirements, application requirements, grant conditions, and time line for
awarding and disbursing grant funds for this grant program. A detailed summary of that
meeting is provided as Attachment C.
A major issue among the participants, including the FK.AA and County representatives, was
the uncertainty about proposing projects or expanding the scope of one of the four
designated projects to compete for the $4.76 million available for unspecified projects. An
option was to divide the $4.76 million among the City of Marathon, Village of Islamorada,
City of Key West, and Monroe County. The FDEP staff indicated that it would be
amenable to a different funding split if the local governments reached consensus on such a
funding split. An meeting of the Intergovernmental Task Force has been scheduled for July
18, 2002, to come up with a tentative funding split agreeable to the jurisdictions.
The summary in Attachment B provides details on various aspects of the eligibility
requirements and disbursement of these grant funds. Some of the more significant include:
(1) these funds can not be used for private utilities only government wastewater and
stormwater systems, which thereby excludes the use of such funds for Ocean Reef or Key
West Resort Utilities; (2) construction bids or designlbuild proposals for projects must be
received by local governments and an ordinance/proposed ordinance for a revenue
generating system submitted to FDEP by no later than March 1, 2003; and (3) grants will
be in the form of cost reimbursement for eligible construction activities. The County will
need to submit in writing to FDEP that FK.AA will be responsible for project
documentation on its behalf.
At its June meeting, the BOCC directed staff to come back with specific recommendations
on projects for application of these State funds including the $1.66 million designated for
Key Largo. The staff recommends that the $1.66 million be used to expand to Key Largo
service area (see "FEMA Unmet Needs Projects") and that, if the BOCC approves the
Hawk's Cay wastewater option for Conch Key, that funds be applied for to upgrade the
Hawk's Cay facility to A WT (see "FEMA Unmet Needs Projects"). Depending upon the
agreement among the localities on how the $4.76 million in grant funds are to be split up,
some possibility exists that additional funds may be available for Key Largo project beyond
the $1.66 million.
In expanding the Key Largo Trailer Village project's service area, the County and FKAA
staffs will make every attempt to design the expanded project in such a manner that if any
problems or delays occur, they won't jeopardize the project or the FEMA or State grant
funds.

Issues Addressed! Actions Taken:
o Details on the eligibility requirements and procedures for FDEP grant funding were
obtained by County staff and
o Preparation of recommendations by staff identifying projects eligible for some or all
of the $4.7 million in FDEP gr~t funds as requested by BOCC on June 20,2002.
Issue Needed to be Addressed:
o Need to identify specific eligible projects for use of the $4.7 million in grant funds
available from FDEP as authorized by Florida Legislature.
o Need to investigate the desirability of redistribution of FEMA funds to make costs
to customers more equitable and uniform.
Recommended BOCC Action:
o Consideration of staff recommendation to apply for FDEP funding to upgrade the
Hawk's Cay treatment facility, contingent upon BOCC approving combined Conch
Key-Hawk's Cay project and transfer of the ownership of the Hawk's Cay plant to
the County/FKAA.
o Authorize the County staff with assistance from the FKAA staff to investigate the
need and appropriateness of redistributing FEMA funds between projects once
detailed costs are prepared for all three projects; any redistribution of such funds
will require BOCC approval.
Significant Milestones/Action:
o Decision on eligible wastewater project{s) for FDEP funding. [Target Date: July
Commission meeting}
W ASTEW ATER GOVERNANCE
Update: Since the June Commission meeting, the County staff has met with FKAA staff on
at least two separate occasions to discuss project management and governance issues. Both
staffs agree that new resolutions outlining the duties and responsibilities of the two
organizations for wastewater is needed based on actions taken by both the FKAA and
BOCC regarding FKAA's continued responsibility for provision of wastewater services in
unincorporated Monroe County. However, the demands to address issues with individual
projects now underway has prevented both staffs from preparing new instruments detailing
this relationship.
Page 3 of 11
Issues Addressed! Action Taken:
o Decision by BOCC in June to continue to rely upon the FKAA as the wastewater
authority in unincorporated Monroe County.
o Action taken by BOCC in June 2002, directing staff to enter into negotiations with
FKAA to prepare necessary agreements concerning wastewater services.
Issues Needed to be Addressed:
o Need to prepare and approve new agreement(s) between the FKAA and Monroe
County spelling out the roles and responsibilities of the two organizations for each
party for the provision of wastewater services and the financial commitment and
underwriting by the County.
Recommended BOCC Actions:
o Consideration of new agreement(s) with FKAA establishing roles and
responsibilities for wastewater services in unincorporated Monroe County.
Significant Milestones/Actions:
o Execution of new agreement(s) with FKAA spelling out renewed relationship with
the County including specific roles and responsibilities and financial commitment
and underwriting by the County. [Target Date: August or September Commission
meeting)
PROGRAMMATIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Update: In its initial response to BOCC action directing the staff to prepare a
Programmatic Implementation Plan, the staff with cooperation from FKAA staff, has
prepared a resolution with policies and guidelines for the establishment of standards on
"reasonable" costs for connection fees and monthly service charges for central wastewater
systems. Based on these standards, the resolution proposes policies on provision of public
financial assistance to wastewater systems and economically disadvantaged households.
Once the BOCC has approved policies on "reasonable" connection fees and monthly
service charges, the staff will work closely with FKAA in preparing the project and
financing priorities and schedule for implementation of wastewater projects over the next
six to ten years.
Issues Addressed! Action Taken:
o Preparation by staff of proposed policies on "reasonable" connection fees and
monthly service charges and public financial assistance to wastewater projects and
Page 4 of 11
economically disadvantaged households in response to direction by the BOCC on
June 20, 2002, to prepare a programmatic implementation plan.
Issues Needed to be Addressed:
o Need for realistic programmatic implementation plan that establishes: policies on
"reasonable" connection fees. and monthly user charges; project and financing
priorities; and, a schedule for programming of wastewater projects based on
available identified funding in accordance with the Sanitary Wastewater
Management Plan.
o Need to revise the Seven Year Work Program in the Monroe County Year 2010
Comprehensive Plan to reflect the results of the adopted programmatic
implementation plan.
Recommended BOCC Actions:
o Consideration of policies on "reasonable" connection fees and monthly user charges
and public financial assistance to wastewater projects and economically
disadvantaged households.
o Consideration of recommended programmatic implementation plan.
Significant Milestones/Actions:
o Adoption of policies on "reasonable" connection fees and monthly user charges and
public financial assistance to wastewater projects and economically disadvantaged
households. [Target Date: July Commission meeting}
o Approval of programmatic implementation plan for the Sanitary Wastewater Master
Plan. [Target Date: September Commission meeting}
FEMA UNMET NEEDS PROJECTS
A. General
The County and FK.AA staffs have been working with FEMA staff and consultants to meet
documentation and data requirements for completion of the Programmatic Environmental
Assessment (PEA) and Supplemental Environmental Assessments (SEA). It is the staffs
understanding that the PEA is undergoing its final revisions based on review comments
provided by the FK.AA and County staffs and participating agencies. Once the document is
complete, a public hearing(s) will be held followed individual public hearings for each the
three projects.
Page 5 of 11
B. Key Largo Trailer Village (MM 101.5)
Update: In cooperation with the FKAA staff, the County staff discussed possible
applications for the $1.66 million in FDEP funds designated for Key Largo. Several
options were discussed, but it was decided that the County staff would recommend to the
BOCC to pursue the expansion of the proposed service area for the Key Largo Trailer
Village project.
Some concern was expressed about linking the State funds with the FEMA Unmet Needs
funds, because any delays resulting in getting final approval by FEMA for the project may
jeopardize meeting the March 1, 2003, deadline for the FDEP funds. However, other
projects independent of the Key Largo Trailer Village were considered as too costly based
on preliminary cost estimates. The FKAA staff will endeavor to design a project grant
application that it will allow a larger project without jeopardizing either grant funding.
In addition, depending upon the outcome of upcoming meeting of the Intergovernmental
Task Force concerning the splitting of FDEP funds, some opportunity may exist to secure
more FDEP funds beyond the $1.66 million already designated.
Issues Addressed! Actions Taken:
o Preparation by staff of recommendations on use of the $1.66 million in FDEP grant
funds in Key Largo as directed by BOCC on June 20, 2002.
o Action taken by BOCC on June 20, 2002, directing staff to draft individual project
agreements concerning responsibilities, milestones, and funding commitments.
o Action taken by BOCC on June 20, 2002, directing County Attorney to determine
appropriate and legal means to provide a grant or loan to assist the new wastewater
authority.
Issues Needed to be Addressed:
o Lack of specific milestones set by the FKAA and County to complete the project as
called for in the joint resolution with FKAA (Resolution #093-02) including a more
specific transition plan for transfer of the project to the new wastewater authority
and level ofproject funding and underwriting commitment by the County.
o Need to reach decision on use of the $1.66 million in State funds and expansion of
the service area of the project.
Page 6 of 11
Recommended BOCC Actions:
o Consideration of staff recommendations on use of FDEP funds, both the designated
$1.66 million and additional funds, if appropriate and available, for expansion of
the Key Largo Trailer Village project to include Hibiscus Park.
o Consideration of joint-resolut~on or agreement with FK.AA for Key Largo Trailer
Village on milestones to complete project, transition plan, and County project
funding and underwriting commitment.
Significant Milestones/Actions:
o Decision on the use of $1.66 million in newly available State funds and expansion
of the service area of the proposed Key Largo project. [Target Date: July
Commission meeting)
o Approval of joint resolution(s) on milestones to complete project, transition plan,
and County project funding and underwriting commitment. [Target Date:
September Commission meeting)
o Decision on interim County financial and administrative assistance to the new
authority. [Target Date: July Commission meeting)
C. Conch Key (MM61)
Update: The County staff has prepared a staff report and resolution recommending that the
BOCC select as the combined Conch Key-Hawk's Cay option as the preferred wastewater
management option for Conch Key contingent upon successful negotiations with Hawk's
Cay concerning transfer of the ownership of the facility to the County/FK.AA. Based on the
information provided by both the FK.AA' s and the County's engineering consultants, the
staff believes that this option is the most cost-effective and reliable one and will provide the
opportunity for use of FDEP funds for the upgrading of the Hawk's Cay facility to A WT.
[The upgrading of this facility will automatically generate over 700 nutrient reduction
credits from Hawk's Cay alone.]
Although the County staff believes the combined system is the preferred choice, until
negotiations are satisfactorily concluded in an expeditious manner on the transfer of
ownership of the Hawk's Cay plant, it would be desirable for both the County and FK.AA to
continue to pursue a dual track until the outcome of these negotiations. Therefore, the
BOCC is requested to move forward with securing sites for both the wastewater treatment
facility (on July agenda) and a vacuum/pump station.
Page 7 of 11
Issues Addressed! Actions Taken:
o Action taken by the BOCC on June 20, 2002, directing staff to continue pursuing
the following dual track approach to serving Conch Key: (1) stand alone option;
and, (2) combined Conch Key-Hawk's Cay option.
Issues Needed to be Addressed:
o Need for County to make decision on which alternative to pursue, either a stand
alone wastewater treatment facility or the delivery of effluent from Conch Key to an
upgraded Hawk's Cay wastewater treatment facility.
o Lack of specific milestones set by the FKAA and County to complete the project as
called for in the joint resolution with FKAA (Resolution #227-002) and need to
reach mutual agreement with the FKAA on the level of project funding and
underwriting commitment by the County to complete project expeditiously.
o Need to make a decision on pursuing a FDEP grant to upgrade the Hawk's Cay
facility to A WT, contingent upon the BOCC approving the combined project as the
preferred wastewater management option and the Count negotiating an agreement
on the transfer ofthe ownership of the Hawk's Cay plant to the County/FKAA.
Recommended BOCC Actions:
o Consider staff recommended resolution on preferred wastewater management
option for Conch Key and direct the staff with FKAA to negotiate draft contract
agreement for transfer of the ownership of the Hawk's Cay plant.
o Consider staff recommendation to move forward with seeking FDEP funding for
upgrading the Hawk's Cay plant contingent upon BOCC approval of combine
project alternative and successful transfer of the ownership of Hawk's Cay plant.
o Consideration of joint-resolution or agreement with FKAA for Conch Key on
milestones to complete project and County project funding and underwriting
commitment.
Significant Milestones/Actions:
o
Decision on preferred wastewater management option for Conch Key. [Target
Date: July Commission meeting)
o
Decision on authorizing County and FKAA staff to pursue FDEP grant funds for the
upgrading of the Hawk's Cay plant. [Target Date: July Commission meeting)

D. Bay Point (MM 15)
Update: Based on a report completed last year by the FKAA staff, the County staff has
prepared a resolution and staff memorandum regarding recommendations for the selection
of a preferred site for location of a wastewater treatment plant to serve Bay Point as
required by its joint resolution with FKAA (Resolution #227-2002).
Issues Addressed! Actions Taken:
a Preparation of recommendations by County and FKAA staffs on preferred site(s) for
location of wastewater treatment facility.
a Action by BaCC on June 20,2002, directing staff to work with FKAA in preparing
a revised joint resolution outlining milestones for project and the County's project
funding and underwriting commitment.
Issues Needed to Be Addressed:

KEY WEST RESORT UTILITIES (STOCK ISLAND EXPANSION)
Update: As directed by the BOCC; at its June 22, 2002, the County staff met with
representatives of the Key West Resort Utilities about entering into agreement in which the
County would essentially provide up-front financial assistance for the expansion of the
utility's system to serve south Stock Island. A copy of a draft "Infrastructure Contract"
proposed by Key West Resort Utilities is provided as Attachment D-l. The County's
consultant engineer has also done some analysis of the plans and bid packages for the
proposed expansion, which are provided as Attachments D-2 and D-3.
The County staff and its engineering consultant believe that the proposal for expansion of
the Key West Resort Utilities system to south Stock Island merits investigation; however,
several significant issues and concerns need to be addressed in order to take advantage of
this opportunity.
The County Administrator and Chief Assistant County Attorney met with representatives of
the utility on the day of this report to discuss further issues related to any proposed
agreement with the utility. Concerns that still need to be addressed or resolved in reaching
agreement with the utility include: legal issues about providing public funds to a private
utility; performance guarantees on use of any public funds; financial questions regarding
both the expansion and upgrading of the existing wastewater treatment facility; and legal
and financial issues related to mandatory connection of property owners on package plants.
The County Administrator and County Attorney's office will provide the BOCC with a
concept paper with specific issue points at the July Commission meeting.
Issues Addressed! Actions Taken:
o Action by the BOCC on June 20, 2002, directing staff to evaluate the Key West
Resort Utilities Proposal.
o Specific cost data on the proposed expansion has been provided to and evaluated by
the County's consultant.
Issues Needed to be Addressed:
o Need to reach decision on appropriate level and type of public financial assistance
to provide Key West Resort Utilities that meets legal, financial, engineering, risk,
and public interest concerns.

Subject: Comparable Connection Fees and User Charges from Project to Project
Dear Roger:
1'm sorry I cannot attend the meeting today with FEMA regarding wastewater grant
funding, but I have a meeting with the City at the same time. From our conversation
yesterday afternoon, it sounds like some of the same issues that are of concern to us,
namely balancing user charges and conection fees so they are reasonably comparable
from service area to service area, were discussed yesterday and will be discussed again
today. This is why I stopped by yesterday, to discuss our thoughts on different
approaches to equalize rates and charges.
Attached is the analysis that I promised you before your meeting today. This adjusts
the grant amounts between Bay Point and Conch Key projects to where the connection
fees and monthly charges are equal for both projects. In this case, shifting $587,000 of
FEMA grant funds from Bay Point to Conch Key will give equal connection fees of
about $3,400jEDU and monthly sewer bills of about $43jEDU. Page 3 of the attached
shows this.
The first two pages of the attached just show preliminary results of our analysis to
date. In our analysis on page 3, I only used the Conch Key combination as that
alternative makes the most sense, at least from my viewpoint.
Sincerely,
~

What follows is a general summary of the Wednesday July 10 meeting/ teleconference to
discuss the eligibility requirements set forth in line Item 1765A of the 2002-03 General
Appropriations Act. It is intended to help clarify some of the issues discussed. Other issues
may need to be resolved in one-on-one discussions with each local government in
developing its grant agreement.
Preliminary .items
Rhonda Haag, SFWMD, agreed to contact the Corps of Engineers in an attempt to quickly
secure the CaE's commitment that it will accept obligations of the $11.8 million
appropriation as match toward future federal funding, if any, appropriated to the CaE for
the Keys--even if those obligations come in advance of completed COE planning activities.
Our intention is to secure that commitment in writing.
. If Rhonda cannot secure the commitment quickly, she will advise this office so that we
can pursue the CaE issue further at the Secretarial level.
The local government participants in the meeting expressed the intention to meet quickly to
determine if they could work out an agreement on a tentative funding split--ultimately
contingent on meeting the March 1 deadline detailed below--on which to base their various
project proposals. The proposed meeting needs to take place within the next 15-30 days.
DEP will provide each of the local governments identified in the proviso language with a
checklist/ guidance document to serve as a basis for its application for funding. The
checklist will address the documentation needed relative to the fundamental eligibility
requirements set forth in the proviso language (see below). It will require each local
government to identify the scope of its project, proposed schedule for meeting the eligibility
requirements, proposed budget, and similar issues. The checklist will be provided to each
potential applicant no later than July 19.
Local government submittals in response to the checklist will be requested within 30 days
in order that we can enter into specific grant agreement discussions. DEP's intention is to
enter into a grant agreement with each local government that proposes a project as soon as
possible. Such agreements will set forth the March 1 deadlines summarized below as well
as any standard grant requirements and any conditional.requirements for funds

disbursement. Grants will be unilaterally terminated if the March 1 deadline or any other
substantive provision is not met 80 that appropriate redistribution of funds can occur.
Fundamental eligibility requ.irements for ALL projects
No later than March 1, 2003, ALL of the following requirements must be met:
Each proposed project must be consiste~t with the local government's wastewater (or
stormwater) master plan, (Given the dynamic nature of Keys issues, this requirement
will be interpreted as "not inconsistent"with master planning-the project must be related
to a priority area and must accomplish an outcome consistent with the master planning.)
. Documentation: local government plan or relevant pages from Monroe County
Sanitary Master Plan describing the project.
Sites necessary to project viability must have been acquired. (Sites incidental to
construction may be eligible for funding - treatment plant and disposal sites will not be
eligible. )
. Documentation: local government official must certify that local government has
sufficient interest in property on which the project will be located to ensure
undisturbed use throughout the project's useful life-a standardized certification
form will be provided.
o Acquisition may be fee simple, lease, easement, or other binding instrument.
Condemnation proceedings also may constitute II acquisition" if money (fair
market value) has been deposited with court.
. "Viability" means that the project must be able to proceed without delay caused by
unavailable sites. (Treatment plant and disposals sites are essential; other sites will be
considered case-by -case.)
Construction bids or design/build proposals must have been evaluated.
. Project work must have been appropriately solicited such that proposals are in hand.
(Grant agreement will require award before disbursement of funds.)
System of user charges, fees, or assessments must have been established.
(Public notification required.)
. Documentation: local government must submit ordinance or equivalent instrument
providing for such revenue generating system, whether adopted or proposed for
adoption.
. The revenue generation system must account for operation & maintenance, debt
service, and other system costs.
Wastewater projects must meet the following additional requirements:

. Requirements of s. 403.086(4)a., Florida Statutes.
. Requirements of sections (5) and (6) of chapter 99-395, Laws of Florida.
Cesspit Elimination
Cesspit elimination may be funded in the same manner as current program based on a
specific proposal that is consistent ("not}nconsistent") with master planning.
Work on private pr9P~rty (e.g.. collection system laterals)
DEP will accept local government proposals to fund such work as long as it is related to a
collection system project or other construction. The proposal must_ account for existing
funding, including housing assistance money, and provide for priority low-income
assistance not otherwise accounted for.
Funding for private utilities
The proviso states that "funds shall be used by the Department of Environmental Protection
to fund construction of local government wastewater and stormwater systems in Monroe
County." (Emphasis added.) Thus, a local government must own or otherwise control the
facilities being considered for funding. although the flow from those facilities may be
treated at a privately-owned facility. The private facility itself is not eligible for funding.
. There were several questions on this subject raised after the teleconference. These
issues may be considered in future discussions, in consultation with the Governor's
Office.
Other not~~
Marathon and Monroe County each need to submit in writing to the department a
statement as to whether the local government or the FKAA, on the local governmenes
behalf, will be responsible for project documentation.
Grants under the proviso language will be in the form of cost reimbursement for
eligible construction-related costs (including, on a case-by-case basis only, incidental land
costs and lateral work on private property). Local governments will document
expenditures by invoices or other appropriate mechanisms (see checklist). Planning and
administrative costs are not eligible for reimbursement.
DEP will not establish "reasonable" user charges, connection fees, or assessment. These are
the responsibility of the local government.

Subject: KW Resort Utilities Wastewater Collection System Expansion
Dear Tim:
We have made a general review of the drawings for the proposed vacuum sewer
system expansion. Our observations are summarized below.
1. It appears that all existing systems that are currently connected to package plants
are proposed to be connected to the new vacuum sewer system by means of buffer
tanks, a common type of connection to a vacuum system for larger concentrated
flows. It would be beneficial if KW Resort Utilities would confirm this and identify
the buffer tanks where these connections are to be made.
2. Are the proposed buffer tanks always immediately adjacent to the wastewater
treatment plants (WWTPs) or pumping stations to be abandoned?
3. How are the buffer tanks to be paid for? We did not see a unit price for buffer
tanks identified in the Bid Proposal.
4. It is indicated that there are currently 1,775 existing equivalent dwelling units
(EDUs) (KW Resort Utilities refers to these as equivalent residential connections
[ERCs]) that are not served by central sewers.
5. It is also projected that approximately 1,000 EDUs will connect within one year,
with the balance to connect over the next five years (155 connections per year).
Where are these 775 EDUs that will connect over the next five years?
6. There are four areas within the limits of the proposed sewer system expansion
with the note, "Area Required to Install Internal Vacuum Tanks". Exactly what is
reqiured, who is responsible for both installing the internal vacuum tanks and the
the associated costs, when will this work be done, and how many EDUs are in
these areas?
7. Review of the drawings indicates there are other smaller trailer parks, some
housing areas, and other areas that do not have vacuum sewer facilities (vacuum
valve pits) adjacent to the properties for easy connection to the new vacuum
sewer system. How will these areas be connected to the new vacuum collection
system expansion?
Mr. Tim McGarry
July 5, 2002
Page 2
8. There are only 87 vacuum valve pits included in the Bid Proposal for all three
phases. Considering the buffer tanks used for connecting the approximately 410
EDUs currently on package plants (the contributing flow from buffer tanks is
limited in a vacuum sewer system), the 87 vacuum valve pits appear to be low.
There certainly is a good design reason for the low number of vacuum valve pits,
but the reason is not apparent to us.
It is my understanding that three of the bids received on June 27 were just slightly
above the $4,600,000 estimate, and that KW Resort Utilities expects to have negotiated
a contract price of $4,600,000 with one of the three lowest bidders by the July 17 BOCC
meeting. In our opinion, the $4,600,000 is a reasonable price for the work involved.
The fact that the three lowest bidders were within about five percent of each other also
confirms that the $4,600,000 is a reasonable price.
Please let me know how you want to proceed from here. Except for July 8 and 9, I am
available to meet with the County, and KW Resort Utilities, if you desire, at your
convience. In the meantime, feel free to call me with any questions or comments.
Sincerely,

Subject: Estimated Number of EDUs Currently Connected to Existing Package WWTPs
that are Proposed to Connect to the KW Resort Utilities Sewer System Expansion
Dear Tim:
One of the tasks of our Work Order No.1 authorization is to estimate the number of EDUs
currently connected to package wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) within the KW
Resort Utilities Service Area. All these connections are proposed to connect to the sewer
system expansion. This letter provides the EDU estimate and the approach taken to arrive at
this estimate.
To estimate the EDUs associated with existing package plants, the Consultant requested and
obtained from FKAA all their Stock Island water accounts and water use data for the
II-month period May 200l-March 2002. The Consultant then sorted these water accounts to
estimate the number of accounts that currently discharge to existing package WWTPs and
that are proposed to connect to the KW Resort Utilities expanded wastewater collection
svstem.
Two agencies, the Florida Department of Health (DOH) and the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP), permit and regulate WWTPs within the KW Resort
Utilities Service Area. These WWTPs are summarized below. The phase of the collection
system expansion where these systems would connect is shown in parentheses.
DOH is responsible for:
· Spottswood commercial strip mall along McDonald Avenue, which connected to the
inactive Pearl Trailer Park Secondary WWTP (Phase I).
· Burger King Restaurant Secondary WWTP (Phase I)
DEP is responsible for:
· Waters Edge Colony Secondary WWTP (Phase I)
· Roy's Trailer Park Secondary \ '.WTP (Phase I)
· Boyd's Campground SecondztlT \ V\ VTP (Phase I)
· Harbor Shores \lobile Home pztrk Secondary WWTP (Phase III)

Exhibit 1 provides a summary, by phase, of the estimated EDUs currently on package plants
that are proposed to connect to the expanded wastewater collection system. EDUs are
shown for both the KW Resort Utilities EDU definition and the FKAA EDU definition. Both
entities define residential EDUs in the same manner - individually metered living units,
whether they be single family homes, a mobile home, an apartment unit, a condo unit, or a
unit of a duplex, triplex, or quadraplex-are defined as one EDU. Commercial EDUs are
defined differently. KW Resort Utilities defines a commercial EDU to be equivalent to a
water use of 205 gallons per day (gpd), with a minimum of one EDU, whereas FKAA
defines a commercial EDU to be equivalent to a water use of 167 gpd, with a minimum of
one EDU.

For Oceanside Marina, 39 EDUs (43 FKAA EDUs) (condo units and restaurant) do not exist
today, but construction of the condo units has started. It is therefore assumed that the condo
units and restaurant will exist by the time the sewer system expansion is operational.
Therefore, the estimated number of EDUs connected to package plants per the KW Resort
Utilities definition is 410.9, and the estimated number of EDUs connected to package plants
per the FKAA definition is 436.9, a difference of 26 EDUs, which is only about 6 percent
difference between the two definitions.
