Background: In April 2009 the Utility submitted to Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Water Facilities Funding a Request for Inclusion for Drinking Water Project funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Acf of 2009 (ARRA). The Utility just received notification that some of our projects will qualify for funding for a combination grant/loan through the ARRA. There is a cap of $3 million for the ARRA funds, with an 85% grant or principal forgiveness. The first step in meeting the requirements for this funding is adoption of the resolution that approves the Water Facilities Plan by June 30~'. To take advantage of this opportunity, the County is holding this special meeting of the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) to explain the projects, discuss costs, their location, and the implementation schedule. The projects and estimated costs are summarized in EXHIBIT 1. These projects are all part of the approved Utility 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. Upon approval and submittal of the resolution with accompanying documentation, and other FDEP requirements to complete our project package, a hearing will be held by FDEP in August to award the funds. This resolution is still part of the application process, and upon actual award by FDEP, the Utility will return to the Board for approval of the final projects that will be part of the ARRA, along with loan documents. The County has an estimated $3.56M in projects that we are submitting. With the 85% grant, the County would receive about $2.55M with a Utility funding requirement of about $1 M, if all the projects are ready, selected by FDEP, and approved by the County. The County can remove one of the projects at a later date, but FDEP staff suggested we include these now in case one does not make the ready stage, we would have enough projects to hit the $3M stimulus cap. The $1 M would be in the form of a low interest loan payable over 20 years with repayment starting six months after the project work is scheduled to be completed, or the last quarter of FY 2011. Currently the interest being charged is 3.27%; the actual percentage will be determined during the loan agreement negotiation phase (after the August hearing). Recommendation Staff recommends the Board approve the adoption of Resolution No. 09-197 authorizing a facility planning document titled "Application for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Funding, Facilities Plan for Drinking Water Projects" and providing for an effective date within the St. Lucie County Water and Sewer District. .Notice of Public Hearing Thee public is hereby notified that the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, will' liold a public hearing on Tuesday, June 30', X2009, during a spe- ' cial meeting of: the County 'Commission , beginning at 1:30 .

(CDM) on behalf of St. Lucie County (County) to meet the requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (a.k.a. Stimulus Package). Stimulus package funds are being dispersed through the State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan program for drinking water systems. The area considered in preparing this plan includes the unincorporated portion of St. Lucie County. The County's facilities plan includes documentation for a total of four drinking water projects. The projects are described further below. 1.1 Phase I The existing Holiday Pines water treatment plant (WTP), providing water to a population of 66,945, is supplied by water from two Surficial Aquifer (SA) wells and currently produces 0.288 million gallons per day (MGD). The remainder of customers is served via a bulk water agreement with the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA). As the County prepares to "flat line" the capacity allocated to County customers in the FPUA agreement, alternative treatment facilities must be constructed to meet future demands. The County proposes first to expand the Holiday Pines WTP from 0.288 MGD to 0.5 MGD, which the existing water use permit already provides for. The expansion will require one additional SA well to provide for redundancy and operational flexibility for the expanded WTP. _ Additionally, the County has longer-term plans to construct a new regional WTP at a site north of the Holiday Pines WTP. While the County is not requesting funding at this time for the new WTP, an Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) test well is required on the site in advance of the design phase of the new WTP in order to determine well production capacity and anticipated water quality. The data collected from the test well will be used in specifying nanofiltration membranes that will most efficiently treat the source water. i~ The County's outstanding agreement with FPUA requires that the County construct a water main that will extend the distribution system and allow FPUA to serve the County's customers. This water main extension project will consist of the construction of approximately 8,000 feet of 12-inch water main along US Highway 1 from Naco Road to North 25th Street. A second 12-inch main (6,500 feet) will also be constructed ~ on North 25th Street from St. Lucie Boulevard to US Highway 1. These 2 mains will then connect to a 16-inch main constructed along US1 from North 25th Street to Fairwinds Boulevard (approximately 3,000 feet). This project is required in order to provide a second interconnection between the County and FPUA for redundancy within the system. ~ VMR 1-1 jp314 Section 1.doc Section 1 Application for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Funding 1.2 Project Costs The total post-allowance project cost of the proposed facilities is estimated at $3,560,000. The annual cost (debt service for the SRF loan of the capital cost at the prevailing second quarter 2009 drinking water SRF interest rate of 3.00 percent) for the proposed facilities is $245,140. The details of the capital costs are shown in Appendix A (Business Plan). i¦ t 1-2 jp314 Section 1.doc F Section 2 Introduction 2.1 Background The County owns and operates a 0.288 MGD RO WTP that provides potable water to just over 2,000 residents in the Holiday Pines area. The remainder of the unincorporated County service area is served through a bulk user agreement with FPUA. The bulk user agreement was intended to serve County residents until such a time when the County could construct regional facilities to accommodate growth. The agreement with FPUA is scheduled to "flat line' in 2010, when the capacity within the FPUA water system will no longer account for additional growth or demands within the County's service area. The County will have to implement alternative water supply facilities prior to that time in order to account for new growth. The projected growth within the County has slowed considerably since the population boom in 2003 and 2004. The County's recently issued water use permit (reviewed and approved by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)) included the population projections included in Table 2-1.

The median household income in the service area is $35,396. 2.2 Need for Projects While growth has slowed considerably in recent years, the County must still account for new customers between the point when the FPUA bulk user agreement flat lines and the new regional WTPs are constructed and placed into service. As an interim measure, the County plans to expand the Holiday Pines WTP capacity from 0.288 MGD to 0.5 MGD. The current two surficial aquifer wells at this WTP could provide a sufficient volume of raw water to meet the increase in capacity; however, the planned expansion warrants the need for an additional surficial aquifer well to provide for operational flexibility and redundancy within the system. Both the expansion and the new well will need to be completed prior to the 2010 deadline associated with the ~ bulk user agreement. FPUA's planning documents do not account for County demands beyond the 2010 t deadline. Therefore, the County's only option is to provide service for additional customers through the construction of new facilities. At this time, FPUA has indicated that some additional capacity exists within their system and they can accommodate minor increases in demand from the County if needed until these projects can be constructed. The expansion will also require the installation of a new concentrate disposal line and pump station. The concentrate from the existing WTP is currently piped to the nearby Holiday Pines Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP); however, this project proposes to redirect the concentrate away from the WWTP (which FDEP has indicated must be decommissioned in the near future) and into a mosquito impoundment owned by the County. The concentrate will mix with water from the St. Lucie River and sheet flow through the mosquito impoundment prior to ultimate discharge back to the River. This option will reduce Total Maximum Daily Loads and provide for a beneficial use of the concentrate. In anticipation of the need for the regional WTP at the Taylor Dairy Road location (North County Regional WTP site), the County proposes to construct a test well into the UFA. The test well will provide the necessary water quality for the County to begin design of the regional membrane treatment facility. Water quality data is necessary prior to design to allow for membrane testing, membrane projections, and ultimate selection of the treatment technology. The need for the water main extensions along US1, 25th Street and Fairwinds Boulevard stems from a requirement of the FPUA bulk user agreement. The agreement requires the County to construct certain lines which allow FPUA to serve residents in the unincorporated areas of the County. The lines, once constructed by the County, will be transferred over to FPUA for ownership and maintenance.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the County is 688 square miles (83 percent land, 17 percent water). Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce are the main communities in the County. The St. Lucie County Utilities (SLCU) service area covers most of the County, while the remaining portions are serviced by FPUA and Port St. Lucie Utilities (http://www.stlucieco.gov/utilities/index htm). 3.1.1 Summary of Projects To briefly recap what was presented in the first two chapters, the four proposed projects are: 1. Holiday Pines WTP Phase I Expansion from 0.288 MGD to 0.5 MGD -The additiona10.212 MGD of finished water has the potential to serve an additional 700 customers in an area that now rely on private wells and to serve the future water needs of the residential and commercial properties in this area. 2. Holiday Pines WTP Well No. 3 Surficial Well -This project is associated with the proposed Holiday Pines WTP expansion in order to fully utilize the allocated SA raw water withdrawal allocation. Two on-site wells draw 0.8 MGD of raw water from the SA, one for regular supply and one for backup. For the expansion to occur, an additional well will be needed for backup so that the two existing wells can be run in concert to supply water to the treatment plant. 3. Test Well at Taylor Dairy Utility Regional Site (UFA) -This project proposes to construct a test well in the UFA at the SLCU site on Taylor Dairy Road in order to serve as a water test point to verify that the site is a viable location for a future 6 MGD regional WTP. The future 6 MGD WTP will be adequate to supply the water capacity needs of portions of the north county service area. 4. Water Main on US1 from north A1A to the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority System- This project proposes to expand the FPUA water distribution system by constructing 8,000 feet of 12-inch water main along U.S. Highway 1 from Naco } Road to N. 25th Street. A second 6,500 feet of 12-inch water main is to be i~ constructed on N. 25th Street from St. Lucie Boulevard to U.S. Highway 1. The two 12-inch water mains are to converge at the N. 25th Street and U.S. Highway 1 intersection where they will serve a 16-inch water main. A 3,000 feet 16-inch water main will be constructed along U.S. Highway 1 from N. 25th Street to 3-1 page 1.docx Section 3 Application for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Funding Fairwinds Boulevard. This water distribution system expansion is required in order to provide a second water interconnection point between SLCU and the FPUA for bulk water service to portions of the SLCU North County service area. The existing water interconnection point between SLCU and the FPUA is located at the intersection of St. Lucie Boulevard and Taylor Dairy Road. 3.1.2 Topography and Surface Water Figure 3-1 depicts elevations and surface waters within the water service area. This map was developed from the National Elevation Dataset, Florida Geographic Data Library. The topography of the water service area is generally flat and for the most part does not exceed 20 feet above sea level. The Holiday Pines WTP, onsite No. 3 SA well and the test well at Taylor Dairy road are all situated on land that is 15 to 20 feet above sea level. The water main project is located on elevations ranging from 10 to 50 feet above sea level. Scattered lakes are found in the projects area and the Indian River Lagoon separates the mainland from the Atlantic islands to the east. All construction activities associated with the proposed projects will abide by County and State (Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)) standards and employ proper sediment and erosion control measures to prevent alterations to existing topography. 3.1.3 Soils and Physiography A few predominant soil types are found in the project area even though the SLCU service area as a whole contains numerous soil types as shown in Figure 3-2. The ~ WTP, surficial well and test well lie on soil that is characterized as nettles and oldsmar sands. The water main project stretches over multiple soil types: nettles and oldsmar sands, astatula sand (0-5 percent slopes), paola sand (0-5 percent slopes), pendarvis and pomello sands (0-5 percent slopes), pendarvis- urban land complex, samsula muck, and St. Lucie sand. Figure 3-3 shows the two physiographic provinces in the County: Central Atlantic Coastal Strip on the eastern side and Sebastian- St. Lucie Flats inland on the western side. The WTP, surficial well, test well and the western portions of the water main ~ project are within the Sebastian- St. Lucie Flats physiographic province while the remaining portions of the water main lie on the physiographic border with the Central Atlantic Coastal Strip. o- 3.1.4 Hydrology and Sourcewater Protection The following three subsections describe the surface and groundwater hydrology and water quality as well as measures taken to protect the source of drinking water. 3-2 page 2.docx 1; ~ M ~ a . ~ I \ k rl 1 ~ ~1 _~j~~ t<=;i- ~JI li :J ~ 11 ~ ~ ~ ~ J7 r~ ~`4 t~~ r ~ / L Y 7 fi ? ~ ~ dUJ ~?..~J I/o, ~ ~vI `~j~o q 1 , r. ~ i j~~ - , i rll!

The WTP is neighbored by three small ponds +r. yet remains at some distance from any major hydrologic feature. Thus, minimal hydrologic impact is expected with the two onsite projects. The Floridan Aquifer test well will not interfere with any lakes, ponds, swamps, or marshlands, according to the USGS National Hydrologic Database, SFWMD, and the Florida Geographic Data Library. The water main project, however, has some potential to disturb swamp/ marsh on the western leg of the project that runs north on 25th street, so proper steps will be taken to minimize environmental impact during the installation of the pipe in this area. The County currently has two SAwells at the Holiday Pines WTP and no other wells or WTPs. There are no water quality impacts to nearby waters. Since there are no discharges to surface waters, no NPDES permit is required. 3.1.4.2 Sourcewater Protection The groundwater system currently underlying the drinking water source for the County consists of the water table or SA system. The SA which underlies St. Lucie County has an upper layer composed of sandy material and a confining bed made up of a mixture of clay and sand that separates the SA from the Floridan aquifer. The ~ surficial aquifer is a less reliable source of water but is hydrologically important as it provides storage space and filtration for water to recharge the Floridan aquifer. r. The County is exploring using groundwater from the Floridan as future source of ~ drinking water. The groundwater from this aquifer is of consistently high quality. It is primarily fed by rainwater that is filtered through hundreds of feet of sand and rock in a natural filtering process over an extended period of time. Groundwater found in the surficial aquifer is generally less mineralized than that found in the Floridan aquifer and is subject to a higher probability of contamination from surface activities. Consequently, the quality of the surficial waters may vary considerably because of the conditions which influence its chemical make-up. 3.1.5 Environmentally Sensitive Areas or Features 3.1.5.1 Wetlands ~ Figure 3-5 presents a map of wetlands identified by the USGS National Hydrologic Database, SFWMD and the Florida Geographic Data Library. The data provide information on wetland location and type. Freshwater emergent wetlands are common in the lagoon area between the mainland and island to the east. Scattered wetlands are found in the SLCU service area, but few, if any, will be disturbed with the implementation of the proposed projects. The western portion of the water main project along 25th street will cross through a wetland, so the following measures will be employed to mitigate impacts to wetlands and vegetation. 3-6 j12314 Section 3.docx _ _ h '''mss I ~ c J ~ J L ( •O J I ~f`J . , ~ Li ~ ~ o f~ m ,r ~ ~ ' { III! ~ ^~ri1 ii II ~il_* , ; L w _ _ Ian `III r,,~~ _ y.. _ _ _ ~ Y~~'~~~' ~ o ~I o ` 'ILA-~ ~ •N; l-~' C~ - 5~~",~-~~~1, w~ - ~ _ ' 1332f 1S SZ S/N ~Ir ~J ~ ~ ~ _ - - ~ _ i q I ~ ti ' 'I • ~ ` Q ~ `T' j _LLl ' I ~ : , ~ - ° , ~ o ~ ~ a . ~ ~ i ~ t ~ ~ I O ~ I ~ - ~ _ ~ ~ - a ~ ~ ~ - I o ° p ~ ® © j s - . ~ I . _ ;1 ~ ; ~f o 0 er 4 i I o © ® , \ D ~q ~ ~ _ Qo 0 r Sys - ~ Q 0 ~ ~ti~~ o i ~~Q _ ~ _ AVMH°JIH S`JNIN O - 0 C.'~ O ~ ~ ~ i O ~ C ~ W ~ p o ~ ~ ~ p h ~ ¢N H H m a 1, a~ O I ~L ~ ~ t?

The plan would provide detailed specifications for erosion control methods, revegetation preparation, seeding and planting species mixes, and long-term vegetation maintenance objectives. ~ ¦ A qualified environmental monitor familiar with all plans noted above would inspect the work site prior to and during construction when the undisturbed soil is 1 disturbed to ensure that avoidance areas are properly marked and observed. ¦ Weed control techniques would be implemented in accordance with Florida Department of Transportation Best Management Practices. ¦ All straw (bales or loose) or hydro-mulch would be certified as weed-free. ¦ Native plant species would be used, when possible, in revegetation and landscaping activities. Non-invasive species of non-native plants may be used in situations where no native species is well suited for the project site or objective. 1 ~ ¦ When working within or adjacent to any drainage ditch, or watercourse, the contractor would have an emergency spill containment kit to contain and remove spilled fuels, hydraulic fluids, etc. Likewise, equipment refueling, disposal or storage of these materials or any other toxic or deleterious materials would not occur within 100 feet of surface water. The washing of construction equipment, use F of herbicides or disposal of general or other waste materials would not occur within or adjacent to within 100 feet of any drainage ditch, or watercourse. ¦ Avoidance areas would be established for all sensitive plant and wildlife occurrences in or near the construction impact zone. Metal or other strong stakes connected by rope or other visible fencing would identify the avoidance areas with flagging to increase visibility, as appropriate. Avoidance areas would be marked prior to construction in an area and would be maintained until construction activities have been completed. Markers would be removed when construction in the area is completed and all construction equipment has been removed. 3.1.5.2 Conservation Areas Indrio north savannahs, Capron Trail Park, Avalon State Park, and D.J. Wilcox Preserve are all found within SLCU's service area, but no conservation area will be disturbed with the implementation of the proposed projects listed in Section 3.1.1. The avoidance of impacts to conservation areas is evident in Figure 3-6. 3.1.5.3 Vegetative Communities Four types of vegetative communities were identified in the water service area ' (Figure 3-7). The WTP expansion, surficial well and test well all lie in pine flatwoods while the water main project is located in the sand pine scrub forest community. Since the entire SLCU water service area is characterized by one of these vegetative i" communities, there is no way to avoid construction inside of a vegetative community. 3-9 i. page s aa, / r ~ ,i-\~~`_/ rte- "\i ~ ~ I9 ti p I.L 0 ` f l ' c- 1. ~ U l~ 1 ~l i J i ` J1L 1l`~I l \ \~i~ u J 1 7 ~ "1J> a t1 , //,J - i ~ i i.~ J / ~i J fi ~^~,r'~ ~ti~~ Us ~ I sR5 ' f'f jj ~,I~ ~3 ~ III il! ~ -'Y IJ u ~ p ~ LL r j i f_ I,~--'N~ 133M1S SZ~S/N i~ i~ i ~ ~Lo N °o 0 O - O CJ ~ N (6 I ~ Q L U ~C o ~ ~ ~ ri - O O o Sys ~~~d~ m ~ y~'~i Y ~ a~d~ Y Q o _ ~ ~ a a W w a cn > C7 ~ ~ Q Q > ~ ~ ~ ~ _ w 1 ~u~zcwn ~w a a~~/I ~ LLJ w> W d W ~ ate/ ~ m tl7 d d w Z~ d p C7 0 ~ ~ c C ~ U C Q¢~ X U Q.' ~ a J Q a ~'o c~Z~w_zcUncJi~a<now~ r = m w p O J d 0 0 co W Z~ V U Q ~ N '0 a c l0 ~ a~~~~ C7 a W W ~ ~ c ~ x ~~w3 y¢UOLL??YaOcncn~ zQ ~ ~~®I ®~J~11111 111111 o " J/ I \ ~ ~ jai"!r•-' ~ ~ (/7 LL _ ~ ~ ° ~ E - c IL, Li _I~-__~_~ \ lam. \ ~ p ~ C ~7 ICJ C I ,1~ `Zti1 i u ~ m J L a in / ~ J 1 J o C1 ~ ,i ~ ,J1J ~ `5 ~ n , .

With that, potential adverse effects on flora, fauna and threatened or endangered plant or animal species are expected to be minimal. 3.1.6 Flood Plain Flood zone X covers most of the SLCU service area (refer to Figure 3-8), including the locations of the WTP, surficial well and test well. Interruptions to the regional flood plain are not expected with the proposed expansion and well projects. The coastal zones have more varied flood zones than the inland, but the water main project should have little impact on the flood zone. The eastern stretch of the water main along US-1/ SR5 is completely in the X flood zone while the western run of pipe ~ passes through flood zone AE where the wetlands/ swamp/ marsh are located. 3.1.7 Air Quality The County does not use degasification at the Holiday Pines WTP, so there are no emissions released into the air. The County landfill partnered with a neighboring industry to sell their landfill gas to that company for use in one of their boilers in lieu of natural gas. It greatly reduced atmospheric emissions and flaring of the landfill gas. 3.1.8 Climate it The Southeast Regional Climate Center collects climate data that is available online at www.sercccom. Table 3-1 shows monthly average temperature and precipitation data from 1901 to 2008 for the City of Ft. Pierce. The County receives on average 53 inches of precipitation each year.

None of these sites are anticipated to be affected by the proposed projects. ~ 3.2.2 Population According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the 2000 census for St. Lucie County population was 192,695. Since then, the population has grown to an estimated 265,108 in 2008. There were 337 persons per square mile in 2000 (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/12/12111.htm1). The current population density is approximately 1,840 persons per square mile of land area within the County limits. Figure 3-10 shows the population density (2000) in the County's service area. Note that there are fewer than three persons per acre in the vicinity of the WTP and test well and most portions of the water main. The water main does run 1 into areas with three to nine persons per acre, but no significant areas of high population density. 3.2.3 Land Use and Development Existing land use in St. Lucie County is presented in Figure 3-11. The service area is dominated by agriculture and upland forest but pockets of residential, industrial, and recreational area also found. The St. Lucie County International Airport is in the heart of the service area and is surrounded by scattered rangeland and wetlands. The WTP site is located on high density residential land while the test well on Taylor Dairy Road is in an upland forest, with little potential for public disturbances. The stretch of land along which the new water main will run is mixed use so each section of pipe installation should be handled according to the land use in that area. Residential, commercial and industrial disturbances are possible, but all actions will be taken to minimize impact to the community during installation of the water main. 3.3 Water Supply, Treatment, and Transmission/Distribution System The purpose of this section is to provide an understanding of the existing water treatment and distribution system. 3.3.1 Description of the Existing Water System The SLCU system serves is neighbored by FPUA and Port St. Lucie Utilities. The County currently owns, operates, and maintains only one water treatment plant, the Holiday Pines WTP which uses membrane softening technology. The capacity of this plant is 0.228 MGD and the proposed expansion will increase this capacity to 0.5 MGD. The Holiday Pines WTP provides potable water to the North County District service area of the SLCU. SLCU owns, operates and maintains 30 miles of water distribution mains. 3-15 j12314 Section 3 docx I LrLi I~ _I( __S 7 L~~ _ \ \ \ \ ~ ~ ~ O (0 O ~ i\ ~ .i i-~ -~,/\lt i~ i- 1 ` ~ ~ to J 'v v/ ~J `i 11 J ° q / ~1 . ~ O J,J ~5 ~1 ~ , , c,,~ - III/ 1,~~( ~~,r~l~] ' 'U JII~ ' G N 1332J1S SL S/N J i r_ I~~ I ti ~ ~ II "L, N °o r O O to M (0 Q N _ U ~ ~ ~ n O 0 "P.. n O ~ r 'S' s p~~~ ~ ~ ~O d~ .r ~~~a N m a AtlMH'JIH S'JNIN O > ~ U W ~ ~ ~ I Q ~ ~ / I\ 0 N N l1 7 T ~ O ~ 1\`~~~ F ~ m d U Q O ~ C v Q ~ Q c c 3 U p d Q c o w LL ~ z r a~ p p c o a ~ c Q a m m ~ m p m J. z c T~= a~ y C~ d d~ m ~ - ~ ~ a c p a d o o a~ ~ O O f0 N p p IC M~ M O m ~ ~ 2 ~ ~ tL U ~ 3 v m rn c~ zQ ~ ~ 0 I I ~ a° e L i-/ _ _--I~ r ~ q _ \ r ~ Cyr \Jr ~Zv ~ ~ ~ ~ Y / `i 1J J ~ q ~.1- r-"` r5 ter'. /.~1r r / Sµ.5 r rr~; / ~ ~ 1 / ~ _F ~I Il li, i II ill I~I'+ I ~r y _ o J it=~~ - , ~ib;~1 ~ _ g~a ~ ~ ~ "'~~j$~133a1S SL SIN ' i II I - I ~ I I l _ A x~ i 'o"'' - i I ~ I t i ~ o 0 _ ~ c~ ~ ti ;i m (/1 C o L O m o I ~ 3 ~ ~ ~ ~ I ~ ~ - - ~ ~ o ,~a _m _m - ~ ~ N N N > C C ~ ~ 'O 'O C (0 in a aUi aNi m m ~'a ~ 0 0 5 O ~ ~ ~ ~ O ~ ? 1. ~ ~ N U ti J .J - F ~ N ! ~ _ dd~ - ~ o y - o - ~ ~ ~ c AVMH`JIH S°JNIN ' ~ ' ' - I_ o - fV Q _ ~ z ~ ~ ~ N _T f9 J a~ U c m g' ~ o ~ Q a ~ ~ o - _ - o - ~ ~ ~ v> a Z` ~ n ~ ° ° m ° ° ° c~ d ~ 3 ~ LL I I Section 3 Application for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Funding 3.3.2 Present and Historical Water Usa e g SLCU per capita water consumption is currently estimated to be 110 gpcd. The ~ percentage of water consumption in each area of the SLCU domain varies by service type. For instance, Lakewood Park water usage is 100 percent residential while the airport water usage is 100 percent commercial. Figures 3-12 and 3-13 show the North Hutchinson Island and North County water usage breakdown. Irrigation (This is potable water where Recreation, reclaimed 0.45% water is unavailable), 7.05 % - i Commercial, 7.50 ~ Multi Family ~1 Residential, ~ Single Family 51 % ' Residential, ~'1 ICI 34 % / Figure 3-12 North Hutchinson Island Water Usage Eighty-five percent of all potable water delivered to North Hutchinson Island is used to serve the residential sector of SLCU. Single family homes have individual water meters while multifamily residences include condos, apartments, etc. that are served by a master meter. Commercial and irrigation each use roughly 7 percent of North Hutchinson Island potable water while only 0.45 percent is used for recreational purposes in this area. 3-18 jp314 Section 3.docx i Section 3 Application for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Funding ~ Multi Family, Commercial, 3.20 11.30% Single Family j'~ Residential, 85.50 % / ~r ~ Figure 3-13 North County Water Usage Single family residential clearly dominates the water usage distribution of the North County area. Commercial (11.3 percent) and multi-family (3.20 percent) sectors of the North County area are also serviced with potable water from SLCU. ~ 3.3.3 Water Conservation To encourage water conservation within the service area, the County has instituted an inclining block rate structure. A water conservation plan was prepared in conjunction with the most recent Water Use Permit (WUP) application in 2007/ 2008. More water conservation information including water saving tips can be found on the County's website at http://www.stlucieco.gov/pdfs/USE_WATER_WISELY.pdf . 3.3.4 Performance of Existing Water System Regular maintenance allows the County to keep the existing water system performing as required. The WTP has passed all inspections and is conforming to permitted conditions. ~ 3.3.5 Service Population and Finished Water Projections Future of SLCU water services; planning projections 3.3.6 Plant Waste Concentrate from the WTP is sent to the Holiday Pines WWTP. Alternative disposal locations are being evaluated and will likely be implemented once the WTP expansion is completed 3-19 j12314 Section 3.docx Section 3 Application for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Funding 3.4 Mana erial Ca aci g P tY St. Lucie County has contract operations through Severn Trent to operate their water and wastewater plants. The County does not actually employ any operators themselves. Severn Trent pays for all the O&M of the plants and is reimbursed via the contract that the County has. The base rate for operations through contract with Severn Trent is $794,419 annually. 3.4.1 Operation and Maintenance Program On site at the WTP, the County maintains operations and maintenance manuals for all process equipment, pumps, motors, and various other appurtenances that are made available to the operators when needed. The contract operations with Severn Trent covers maintenance expenses. Approximately $75,000 per year is budgeted for annual repair and maintenance. i d 3-20 page 20.docz Section 4 ~ Implementation Plan 4.1 General ~ This section presents a detailed plan for implementing the recommended water facilities for the planning area. The implementation plan includes institutional arrangements, an implementation schedule, and a financial plan. These aspects of the implementation plan are summarized as follows and discussed in more detail in the remainder of this section. ¦ Financial Plan (Section 4.2): Identifies the projected capital costs and their financing. ¦ Institutional Arrangements (Section 4.3): Identifies entities responsible for the design, construction, financing, ownership, operation and maintenance of the project facilities; cite the legal, financial, and administrative relationship between entities; and cite the associated laws, agreements and resolutions, etc. _ ¦ Implementation Schedule (Section 4.4): Describes an orderly schedule of the actions that must be taken to initiate and complete the proposed projects. ¦ An advertised public hearing was held on June 30, 2009 to encourage the public to learn about this program and the financing plan. The public will be encouraged to offer comments regarding the proposed programs. The Notice of Public Hearing was published on June 24, 2009 (see Appendix B). A record of this hearing will be kept for public record and review. The minutes from the hearing will be incorporated in this document as Appendix C. The Resolution adopting the _ Facilities Plan is provided in Appendix D. 4.2 Financial Plan Capital financing of the wastewater program will be the responsibility of the County. Table 4-1 provides the anticipated cost of the water improvement projects. The program costs for the water collection program are estimated to be approximately $3.6 million, with this amount planned to be provided by SRF Stimulus Funds. These costs include construction of the capital improvements, engineering and program management, administration and legal, and contingencies (Table 4-1). The use of SRF financing was compared to revenue bond financing on Table 4-2. There is a cost savings projected using SRF financing when compared to 20 year revenue bonds. The interest rate was estimated at 3 percent for SRF financing and 5.5 percent for revenue bond financing.

Surface Water ? Surface/Ground Combined The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program (DWSRF), authorized by the 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act, provides financial assistance to public water systems (PWS). To obtain this assistance, project sponsors must demonstrate Capacity Development or demonstrate how the assistance will ensure these requirements are met. The term Capacity Development takes into consideration three vital areas of a public water system: Technical, Managerial, and Financial capabilities. FINANCIAL A financial capability demonstration (and certification) is required well before the evaluation of the actual loan or grant application. This demonstration is necessary to ensure that the system has the financial capability to repay the loan, if applicable, and to adequately operate and maintain the system. Financial capability also includes funding future capital improvements that may be required. Please see Rule 62-552.700(4) in Chapter 62-552, F.A.C. for further details. i It is expected that the revenues to be dedicated to repaying a loan will be generated either from water and sewer utility - operations or from water utility operations alone. If the source of revenues will not be from such enterprises, this set of worksheets alone will not satisfy the Department's needs. (Please contact the Department for further guidance if dedicated revenues will be generated externally to such utilities.) i The following worksheets have been developed to identify the minimum information needed. The completed worksheets should be used in disclosing DWSRF project financing to the public during the required dedicated revenue hearing. The worksheets can serve to identify the impacts of the SRF project on residential users and how the project fits into the project sponsor's overall capital improvement program for the water and sewer utility (or water utility, as appropriate). Supplemental capital financing documentation may be submitted with these worksheets and may be presented at the required dedicated revenue hearing. _ The revenues being dedicated to repayment of the DWSRF loan are: Net water and sewer system revenues What is the frequency of water system billing?

In completing this table assume through year 3 that no SRF project is constructed. In the "SRF Project" column enter the numbers that reflect the first year in which the SRF loan will begin repayments. When completing the numbers in this column assume that the SRF project will be financed using 100% loan funding. Line 1 Include the actual number of customers for last year and year 1 (current year). The numbers in years 2 and 3 should reflect an estimated number of residential customers, adjusted for growth. In the SRF column include the expected number of customers based on constructing your SRF project. Line 2 This line is a subset of line 1. It should reflect the number of new customers for that year. Line 3 This line is your total volume (gallons) of water used by your residential customers. Use actual gallons sold for Last Year and do an estimate for the current year based on total to-date. To determine Year 2 and 3 water sales, first calculate the average daily residential usage in gallons per day on line 4. The estimated water sales for Year 2 and 3 can now be determined by multiplying line 4 by line 1. ~ Line 4 This is the average daily residential usage (gallons per day) by a single residential customer. To get this number divide line 3 by line 1. Use Last Year and Current Year to project usage for Year 2 and 3. Usage should be fairly constant.

Instructions for Completing Table 2 ~ Identify the source of the above information and explain methods used to develop the projections (Attachment # Include an explanation of any revenue and expense growth or other adjustments; for example, any rate increases, service growth, inflation adjustments, expense adjustments reflecting the cost of operating additional facilities, or other considerations. REVENUES- Revenues include all sources of income to the system. They are separated on this form ~ as: "Operating", lines 1-6 and "Non-Operating", lines 7-15. When using the subcategory "other" under any item, please write a descriptive term. r EXPENSES- Expenses include all those activities or purchases which incur cost for the system. Expenses can be estimated in various ways. One method bases the projections on historical expense. This can be accomplished by using historical costs and escalating them from known and projected changes. An example of a known change would be an increase in labor costs for the budget period due to known or anticipated salary increases. An example of a projected increase or escalation in costs would be a 5% annual inflation rate. Materials and Supplies expense, for instance, would be expected to increase with the projected inflation rate. Expenses are separated on this form in the same fashion as Revenues with further subtopics to more clearly define expenses. When using the subcategory "other" under any item please write a descriptive term and cross out the word "other". Expenses are separated on this form as "Operating", lines 16-26, "Administrative", lines 27-35, "Non-Operating", lines 37-45, and "Taxes" lines 48-50.
