1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The primary objective of the project will be to prepare a comprehensive Watershed
Management Plan for the Alligator Creek basin, which encompasses approximately 5700
acres in central Pinellas County. The MANAGEMENT PLAN will be used as a tool in the
planning, regulation and management of natural resources, of future development and as a
basis for determining and prioritizing capital improvements by SWFWMD, Pinellas County,
the City of Clearwater and the City of Safety Harbor. This objective will be met in part, by
conducting a comprehensive analysis of the watershed in order to characterize the watershed.
The project will be conducted in two phases: (1) Planning and (2) Implementation
1.2.1 Planning Phase
The MANAGEMENT PLAN is intended to evaluate the Alligator Creek Watershed,
identify problems requiring management of resources, and recommend solutions
affecting water quantity and quality, and natural habitat. At a minimum, the
MANAGEMENT PLAN will address existing flood situations to be defined herein,
erosion, and stormwater pollution. The Planning Phase will include the initial collection
. of design and water quality data, the diagnostic evaluation of the Alligator Creek
Watershed, the use of an appropriate linked watershed/waterbody model if applicable,
that is approved by Pinellas County, Clearwater, Safety Harbor and the Southwest
Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), and the development of a
comprehensive watershed management plan, with recommendations for site specific
physical improvements including public property availability and/or property acquisition
information. The Planning Phase will also include the conceptual design necessary to
3

determine permit and construction feasibility and cost effectiveness.
At the end of the Planning Phase there will be an assessment meeting of the participants
at the close of which a decision will be made on whether the work should proceed into
the Implementation Phase.
1.2.2 Implementation Phase
The Implementation Phase will include the final design and permitting of the top three
(3) prioritized PROJECTS recommended in the MANAGEMENT PLAN, and the bid
advertisement, award, and construction of one (1) or more of the top three (3) prioritized
PROJECTS. Description of the implementation phase is included for the

2.2.2 Evaluate and Define Deficiencies of Existing Data
Existing available data shall be evaluated to identify any missing data necessary to the
study. Additionally, conflicting data will be identified. Missing or conflicting data will
be evaluated to determine the appropriate method of obtaining the needed data or
resolving conflicts.
Data evaluation will include numerous pieces of information that will be grouped in the
four general categories of interest for this study: drainage problems flood control, water
and sediment quality, and natural resources. Furthermore, the data will be analyzed in
terms of their utilization in this study. This information will be provided to the CITY in
a letter report
2.3 FIELD WORK AND DATA ANALYSIS
2.3.1 Field Work
Field investigations shall be made of the drainage ways and tributaries and of existing
drainage and stormwater management systems to verify stormwater atlas sheets and
based on the specific needs of the hydrologic and hydraulic models and for subbasin
delineation clarification. Field reconnaissance shall be completed to ascertain the present
condition of streams and drainage structures. Reconnaissance shall include meeting with
City and County maintenance personnel to acquire knowledge of drainage systems and
maintenance practices and problems.
Written and/or photographic documentation of all open waterways, including structures
shall be performed. Structure numbering will be consistent with the labeling system
chosen for modeling.
Field familiarization will point out specific problem areas and also note other pertinent
factors such as areas subject to sedimentation, high velocity reaches, environmentally
sensitive areas, and features affecting modeling.
Natural resources will be assessed to establish a" level of service" in order to determine
a target condition and will include but not be limited to the following:
a. location and type of vegetative communities (including uplands and wetlands)
along the creek
. b. quantitative and qualitative (degree of disturbance) evaluation of each community
c. potential or actual (observed, nests, etc.) occurrence of threatened and/or
endangered species
d. unique features (sinkholes, etc.)
e. faunal communities (method to be determined)
7

[
f. observed wildlife species
g. wetland boundary (estimated)
Natural Resources
Evaluation of natural resources will begin with analysis of such information on high
resolution vertical aerial photographs, National wetland inventory maps, and the Soil
Survey of Pine lIas County. Vegetative communities will be marked on the maps, using
the preliminary mapping as a guide, and each upland and wetland community will be
assigned a numerical designation and visited to record ecological status, e.g., degree of
disturbance, exotic invasion, potential or actual occurrence of threatened or endangered
wildlife and plant species (observed, nests, etc.), other wildlife species present, and any
observable unique features such as specimen trees. All observations for each numbered
community will be recorded on a "Habitat Inventory" form suitable for input to the GIS
for the basin and should include faunal communities. Boundaries of the vegetative
communities, including wetland boundaries, will be approximated based on aerial photos
and qualitative field verification. Formal wetland boundaries will not be surveyed
except as it becomes critical in the development of the conceptual design of the
PROJECT(s). Vegetative communities will be classified in conformance with the
Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FDOT, 1985).
Based on existing conditions of the natural resources, a set of criteria that will define
existing levels of service will be determined. These criteria will describe aspects of the
biological resources that range from undesirable to desirable, considering the land uses
of the watershed.
CONSULTANT to determine field sampling methods for macrohabitats. Method to be
approved by PROJECT REPRESENTATIVES.
2.3.3 Water Quality Analysis
The CONSULTANT shall evaluate existing water quality, flow and loading data and
make recommendations for additional monitoring that may be required to adequately
determine sources of pollution, and pollutant load "hot spots" in the watershed. In
addition to supplementing existing water quality monitoring programs, a sediment
quality monitoring program is also proposed. A preliminary survey of the sediment
types within the creeks and lakes of the Alligator Creek Basin will be done to identify
. locations of potential monitoring sites. The need to conduct water quality sampling
during storm events will be evaluated and recommendations provided to the PROJECT
REPRESENTATIVES.
The CONSULTANT shall assess impacts of the potential solutions on average annual
pollutant loadings. The CONSULTANT shall utilize existing and ongoing water quality
studies to identify. specific water quality problems that can be targeted for remedial
8
"
I
I
action. Pollutant loading rates for specific land uses and pollutant removal efficiencies
for typical stormwater treatment systems and nonstructural shall be considered in the
assessment. Average annual pollutant loadings shall be calculated for future land use in
the basin. Calculations shall take into account pollutant removal efficiencies of
stormwater treatment facilities required for new developments under current stormwater
treatment regulations.
The CONSULTANT shall make recommendations for ongoing monitoring to
demonstrate improvements to water quality and other ecological considerations brought
about by implementation of the recommended Program and PROJECT(S).
A seasonal water quality sampling program will be undertaken to supplement existing
water quality monitoring data. Additionally, a sediment quality sampling program is also
proposed. Because sediment and water quality parameters are inter-related, the
simultaneous collection of water and sediment samples will allow for a more accurate
interpretation of the existing conditions within the watershed. Historical data for the
watershed and data from other sources will then be utilized to further support analysis
of conditions in the watershed.
Based on the preliminary data review and site investigation performed for the proposal
preparation, approximately eight surface water and sediment quality monitoring stations
will be needed to provide adequate coverage of the Alligator Creek basin for the purpose
of the Watershed Management Plan. The specific locations will be selected based on
environment type(i.e., creeks, man-made ditches, and lakes), surrounding land use (i.e.,
areas with both high and low pollutant loading potential), and sediment deposition
within the watershed. Recommended locations for monitoring sites will be presented
following the completion of historical data review and inspection of the study area.
Water quality sampling will be conducted seasonally to cover two flow regimes: primary
wet season and dry season. Parametric coverage will include aluminum, arsenic,
cadmium, copper, chromium, iron, lead, mercury, silver, zinc, hardness, biochemical
oxygen demand, total nitrogen, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, organic nitrogen, total
phosphorus, orthophosphate, total suspended solids, oil and grease, cWorophyll-a (lakes
only), coliforms (fecal c. and fecal strep.), dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature,
conductivity, chlorides and pesticides (organocWorine and organophosphorus series).
Sediment sampling will be done once in conjunction with a water quality monitoring
event. Sediment grab samples will be collected at each monitoring site and analyzed for
the following parameters: aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, copper, chromium, iron, lead,
mercury, silver, zinc, grain size, pesticides (organocWorine and organophosphate series),
.p AH's (polyaromatic hydrocarbons), PCB's (polycWorinated biphenyls). Analytical
methods shall be subject to the approval of the CITY.

throughout the watershed based on pollutant loads developed from land use and other
information.
The water quality analysis will encompass two types of simulations: single event and
continuous 365-day simulations. The single event simulations will include modeling of
a typical frequent storm in the watershed to be identified through a rainfall pattern
analysis. The rainfall volume for this storm is expected to be between one half and one
inch. The long-term simulation will provide a 365, daily continuous simulation based
on actual collected rainfall with dry season and wet season pollutant loadings. This
simulation will be conducted assuming a typical annual rainfall pattern, also to identified
from the rainfall analysis.
The model will be calibrated using a representative subset of the available water quality
data. The USGS data will be used to the extent possible. The CITY will be responsible
to provide the calibration/verification data. The calibration will define site specific
parameters and kinetic constants appropriate for the prediction of water quality. The
final values of all parameters and coefficients will be evaluated to insure that they are
within reasonable ranges, as compared to values in the literature or based on studies of
similar systems. Where possible, the calibration data set will cover a broad range of
environmental conditions, such as wet and dry seasons since the relative importance of
different kinetic processes may vary. In the case where a reasonable calibration can not
be obtained (as jointly determined by the technical team, the CITY and the project
representatives), possible causal factors will be identified and recommendations made
either to further refine the model or to obtain additional data to further define the
problem. Where data are not available for adequate calibration, critical parameters will
be identified and subjected to sensitivity analyses to determine the impact of their
uncertainty on model predictions.
Similar to the flood control model, once the initial application is complete, the waterbody
model will be verified against one or more additional (independent) subsets of the
available data and a skill test performed to document the accuracy and precision of model
predictions. The evaluation of the results of the model validation will include a limited
skill or error analysis to estimate the model's accuracy. Model accuracy will be assessed
through graphical and statistical comparisons of model predictions to field data. At a
minimum, a least square analysis will be performed comparing predicted and observed
constituent concentrations and associated coefficients of determination (r2) will be used
to assess model skill. A sensitivity analysis will also be conducted at this stage to
estimate analysis will also be conducted at this stage to estimate the impact of
uncertainties on model predictions.
