PLAN OF STUDY FOR ALLENS CREEK
10 April 1987
EXECUTIVE sUMMARY
In response to a complaint filed with the Environmental
Protection Agency and regarding the water quality of Allens Creek
in pinellas County, Florida, the Florida Department of
Environmental Regulation (FDER) contacted the three local
governments with jurisdiction and requested that appropriate
abatement action be initiated. The local governments involved
are the cities of Largo and Clearwater and the County of Pinellas.
The complaint filed with the Environmental Protection Agency and
FDER by Thomas W. Reese on beha If of Mr. and Mrs. Gauss, was
based in large part upon data generated by the City of
Clearwater1s Environmental Management Division and the USGS
(Water Resources Report, 1971). The violations recorded by
Clearwater were with regard to levels of Dissolved oxygen and
Fecal Coliforms.
The AlIens Creek drainage basin lies in the east central portion
of pinellas County in a highly urbanized area. The greatest
portion of the basin is residentially developed. The FDER has
concluded that the most probable causative agent in water quality
degradation of the basin is the discharge of stormwaters. In
previous correspondence with the County and cities, the FDER has
recognized the fact that most of the existing stormwater system
had been installed prior to the Federal Clean Water Act and the
standards currently set forth in the Florida Administrative Code
(FAC) . In light of the age of the storm system relative to the
regulation and the lack of a clear cause-and-effect relationship
between the water quality and the most probable cause, the FDER
has found no fault with the County or the cities.
Agents for the state have, however, conveyed to the cities and
the county the severity of the problem and requested that a Plan
of Study be proposed in lieu of enforcement~ consent orders or
lit iga t ions. The Cities of Largo and Clearwa ter. the County of
Pinellas and the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation
have prepared a Plan of Study as a response to the problem. The
study will be carried out jointly by the four concerned
governmental agencies.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The AlIens Creek drainage basin has been delineated as Basin #19
in the county.s master drainage plan. The creek empties into Old
Tampa Bay. The major channel runs inland to the west southwest
and divides into five minor channels. Four of these have
comparatively short runs with headwaters at natural or man-made
ponds and lakes. The fifth minor channel runs northward well
into the City of Clearwater and accepts drainage from a
I I
res ident ia 1 sec tor nor th of Gulf to Bay Bou levard. Examina t ion
of archived aerial photography indicates that roughly half of the
drainage system (largely in the upper reaches) consists of
man-made ditches.
The majority of the stormwater input is from roadways and yard
areas within residential developments. Some commercial areas can
be found in the southwest of the basin and along major roadways.
Only one area. west of Keene Road wi thin the Ci ty of Largo.
remains undeveloped.
The basin. therefore. may be accurately characterized as an urban
drainage basin modified by numerous flood control structures
wi thin the minor channe ls. accept ing res ident ia 1 dra inage. and
discharging into the upper reaches of the estuary.
OVERVIEW
The data collected by the City of Clearwater indicates that the
waters of Aliens Creek do not meet the standards set forth in the
Florida Administrative Code (FAC) at all times. The infrequency
of the data collection. however. does not allow conclusions to be
drawn regarding the extent of the problem nor the causative agent
of the problem. It is entirely possible that there is not a
causative agent but that the waters of Allens Creek naturally
fall below the legislative standards.
Since the data are not definitive with regard to the already
stated ecosystem parameters. they cannot possibly indicate what
abatement action would be most appropriate. It is therefore the
intent of this study. to:
1. Define the existing ecosystem of the basin.
2. Determine substandard attributes of that ecosystem.
3. Determine the causative agents.
4. Delineate a program of recovery by which undesirable
elements of the ecosystem may be excised or ameliorated.
5. Implement the recovery program.
I n order to accompl ish these goa ls. the County, the c i ties and
FDER are proposing a comprehensive study of the entire basin
covering a wide range of environmental parameters (Table 1).
The Baseline data gathering effort (Phase I) will commence as
soon as is practical and will continue for the duration of the
study. Modification may be made based upon documented stability
(s ta t ion de let ion) or requirements for fur ther ref inement
(station addition). After at least one year of data has been
gathered, problem areas will be defined, prioritized and
investigated further in order to determine causative agents
(Phase II). Once that agent has been identified, steps will be
taken to remove the source and thereby upgrade the system. Where
no causative agent can be identified, the parties (FDER, County
and ci ties) may conclude that the part icular subs tandard
condition represents a naturally occurring condition and
formulate alternative criteria.

2. Validity of (and calibration of) predictive tools,
3. Rainfall dependent pollutant loads,
4. Hydrological processes of, and responses to, varying runoff

5. Potential retrofit areas,
6. Potential water quality control areas,
7. Pollutant loading commensurate with site specific land use,
8. Hydrological functionality of existing instream and site
specific control structures.
9. Water Quality functionality of existing instream and site
specific control structures.
10. Validity of performance standards.
Special Caveat: Where data have been gathered which conclusively
show that a particularly hazardous condition exists, the
pertinent government shall take immediate action to implement
abatement and recovery from such hazards.
During all phases of the study, special care will be taken to
ensure that proper quality control is maintained.
PHASE I
BASELINE SAMPLING
The baseline sampling scheme includes 25 water quality stations,
25 sediment stations, 23 Ichthyological stations, 5 Benthic
invertebrate stations, 5 hydrographic stations and an unspecified
number of rainfall stations (Table 2). The hydrographic and
rainfall stations are not fixed but will be moved throughout the
basin in order to refine hyrodgraphic information already
contained in the Pinellas County master drainage plan.
In conjunction with baseline sampling, the land use plan will be
merged with the drainage plans, specific outfalls will be field
located and sub-basins identified where possible.
Wa ter qua I i ty s ta t ions are to be sampled every six (6) weeks
(Table 1, Categories 1. 2 and 3). Ichthyological and Benthic
invertebrate stations will be sampled quarterly and in
conjunction with a scheduled water quality sample date. Benthic
samples are to be taken in triplicate with a petite ponar
dredge. These samples will be narcotized, field fixed and
packaged for identification by a biOlogical consultant. Samples
are to be taken from the lower reaches of the creek only due to
the faunal discontinuity between fresh and estuarine waters. The
data will be utilized as an indicator of the health of the
ecosystem. Ichthyological samples will be taken by seine, cast
net. plankton net (larvae). and/or minnow trap. The selection of

the sample method at each site is left to t?e project mana~er and
is to be tailored to the physical constralnts ofeachsl te and
the expected catch. The purpose of these samples is similar to
that stated for the benthic samples. Healthy fish populations
are generally indicative of healthy systems as fishes are
generally either intermediary or at the top of the trophic ladder.
During the quarterly sample period, parameters from Category
4a (Table 1) are to be added to the regularly scheduled water
quality samples. Qualitative surveys of birds, reptiles and
rooted aquatics will accompany the quarterly sampling. These
surveys will consist of a visual census. Trapping of reptiles at
selected sites may be conducted in order to further refine the
census. Trapping is to be conducted at the discretion of the
project manager. Sediment samples will be taken once during the
third quarter of the project. These will be analyzed for
parameters in Categories 4b and 7.
Additional information gathered during this phase will include:

PHASE II
EFFECTS OF STORMS
During the second year of the project, areas will be selected for
the study of the effects of storms on water qual i ty parameters.
For the purposes of this study, a storm event sha 11 be def ined
for each sub-basin after hydrographic data has been collected.
Storms of different intensity will be monitored so that
comprehensive results may be generated. In particular, water
quality will be monitored at selected sites for the duration of
the hydrographic fluctuations (where possible). Water samples
will be taken periodically, but not all will be analyzed. Once
the hydrograph has been plotted, representative samples will be
chosen and analyzed.
POLLUTANT SOURCE REFINEMENT SAMPLING
Where data from the baseline study has
refinement is required (commencing during the
period), additional water quality stations
sampled for relevant parameters. These
gradually stepped upstream until the source is
indicated further
quarter 5 sampling
will be added and
stations will be
located.

RECOVERY PROGRAM
It is expected that the Source Refinement section will result in
the identification of a possible violator. Where that occurs.
corrective measures will be developed between the FDER. local
qovernment and the violator. Where no sinqle source can be
identified. the possibility of cumulative effects will be
scrutinized. Where cumulative effects cannot be delineated.
alternative criteria may be adopted.
REPORTS
A year end report will be compiled each year for the duration of
the project. That report will summarize all results of the
previous year's work and copies will be distributed to all four
(4) parties of the project.
SCHEDULE
An outline of the proposed implementation schedule is presented
in Table 3.

Quality Assurance will be conducted under the standard quideline~
of the local FDER office. These quidelines are lenqthy and are
not reproduced in this document. It is understood. however. that
all phases of samplinq are to be conducted in accordance with the
specific samplinq directives that the projeci manaqer has
rece i ved f rom the~' loca 1 FDER off ice. Tha t off ice is a
participant in this study and assessment of quality assurance is
expected to be an onqoinq function of that office.
FUNDING
Pinellas County. the Cities of Clearwater and Larqo. and FDER
will all share in the responsibility of this inter local
aqreement. The fundinq provided by each qovernment entity will
be throuqh in kind services and/or actual monetary expenditures.
