SECTION 1
SCOPE OF PROJECT
1.1 INTENT OF TIllS AGREEMENT
This project is being developed in accordance with the Cooperative Agreement between the
Southwest Florida Water Management District and the City of Clearwater for the
Development and Implementation of a Watershed Management Plan for the Stevenson
Creek Watershed, hereinafter referred to as the MANAGEMENT PLAN, and the
management needs of each party.
In accordance with the following sections, it is the intent of the CITY to contract the
services of the CONSULTANT to provide professional engineering, land surveying,
biological, environmental and planning aspects in developing the MANAGEMENT PLAN.
The CONSULTANT, by executing this Agreement, acknowledges familiarization with the
project and SCOPE OF SERVICES and accepts the responsibility to provide a product that
is complete in every respect and which fulfills the intent of this agreement, whether or not
all items of work are specifically included herein.
1.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the project will be to develop a MANAGEMENT PLAN for the
Stevenson Creek basin, which encompasses approximately 6000 acres in central Pinellas
County. The MANAGEMENT PLAN will be used as a tool in the planning, regulation and
management of Stevenson Creek for future development and as a basis for determining and
prioritizing capital improvements by SWFWMD, and the City of Clearwater, hereinafter
referred to as the TEAM. This objective will be met in part, by conducting an analysis of
the watershed in order to characterize the existing watershed conditions and recommend
improvements for flood protection, natural systems, habitat, water quality, erosion control,
public awareness and involvement, regulatory control, and capital improvements.
The second objective is to coordinate the development of the MANAGEMENT PLAN for
the freshwater portion of the basin with limited evaluation of the estuarine saltwater portion
of the basin, to be performed in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as the
lead agency, as may be required.
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 Stevenson Creek Watershed,
identify problems requiring management of resources, and recommend solutions affecting
water quantity and quality, and natural resources. At a minimum, the MANAGEMENT
PLAN will address localized flooding situations to be defined herein, erosion,
sedimentation, and stormwater pollution. The Planning Phase will include the initial
3

collection of design, water quality and sediment data, the diagnostic evaluation of the
Stevenson Creek Watershed, the use of an appropriate hydraulic/hydrologic model that is
approved by National Flood Insurance Program and the TEAM, and the development of a
watershed management plan that provides recommendations for site-specific physical
improvements. A spreadsheet pollutant loading model will also be developed for evaluating
existing surface water quality and improvements anticipated as a result of implementing the
MANAGEMENT PLAN. The Planning Phase will also include the conceptual design
necessary to determine permit and construction feasibility and cost effectiveness.
At the end of the Planning Phase there will be an assessment meeting of the TEAM 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 one or more of the
PROJECT(S) recommended in the MANAGEMENT PLAN, and the bid advertisement,
award, and construction of that PROJECT(S). Description of the implementation phase is
NOT a part of this Agreement.

Existing available data shall be evaluated by the CONSULT ANT to identify any missing
data that are 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 protection, 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 DAT A ANALYSIS
2.3.1 Field Work
CONSULT ANT shall conduct field investigations of the drainage ways and tributaries and
of existing drainage and stormwater management systems to verify stormwater atlas sheets
meet 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 meetings with City and
County maintenance personnel to acquire knowledge of drainage systems and maintenance
practices and problems.
CONSULTANT shall provide written and/or photographic documentation of all open
waterways, including structures. Structure numbering will be consistent with the labeling
system chosen for modeling. Field documentation will point out specific problem areas and
also note other pertinent factors such as areas subject to erosion, sedimentation, high
velocity reaches, environmentally sensitive areas, and features affecting modeling.
2.3.2 Biological Resources
CONSULTANT shall conduct an evaluation of biological resources that will begin with
analysis of such information from high resolution vertical aerial photographs, National
wetland inventory maps, and the Soil Survey of Pinellas 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. A 'Habitat Inventory' form
suitable for input to the GIS for the basin shall be used which limits the attribute data to a
general determination whether the system may be ranked as pristine, low impact, medium
impact or high impact. Boundaries of the vegetative communities, including wetland
boundaries, will be approximated based on aerial photos and limited field verification. No
wetland jurisdictional delineation will be conducted. Vegetative communities will be
estimated in conformance with the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification
System (FOOT, 1985), as appropriate.

po
I
I
2.3.3.1 The CONSULTANT shall install, maintain, and operate two (2) automatic
streamflow and water quality sampling stations within the study area at agreed
upon locations near the mouths of Stevenson Creek and Spring Branch, before
they discharge to the estuarine saltwater part of the basin, during the period of
study. Each installation shall consist of an ISCO automatic sampler, water level
recorder, and a recording precipitation gage. The stage, rainfall, and flow
monitoring data shall serve as the basis for calibration and verification of the
hydrologic and hydraulic models of the watershed. A streamflow rating curve
shall be developed for each of the sites by obtaining a minimum of ten (10)
separate flow measurements using a flow velocity meter. Additional rainfall data
will be provided by the CITY from its other stations located near or within the
study area.
The two sampling stations shall be installed at the freshwater flow monitoring
locations near the mouths of Stevenson Creek and Spring Branch. Flow-weighted
composite samples will be collected for up to ten (10) separate storm events and
six (6) ambient (baseflow) events during the period of study at each of the
sampling stations and analyzed for the following water quality constituents:
. Total Suspended Solids
. Total Dissolved Solids
. Biochemical Oxygen Demand
. Chemical Oxygen Demand
. Total Organic Carbon
. Nitrogen (NH3, TKN, N02/N03)
. Phosphorus (Total P, Ortho-P)
. Oil and Grease
. Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
. Total Hardness
. Metals (Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Zinc, Nickel, Copper,
and Lead)
. Fecal coliforms/ ABA
2.3.3.2 The CONSULTANT shall conduct a sediment sampling program designed to
investigate the sources of sediments in the Stevenson Creek estuarine basin. The
water and sediment quality sampling program will allow for a more accurate
interpretation of the existing conditions within the watershed. It will focus on the
identification, qualification and quantification of sources of sediment in the lower
estuary, determine deposition rates, establish flowffSS relationships (if any), and
provide the basis for evaluation of the effectiveness of proposed measures to
control the sources of sediment prior to delivery into the lower estuary. The
sources to be considered are marine sources, freshwater flows (stormwater and/or
baseflow), and the Marshall Street WWTP.
The sediment sampling program shall consist of the following:
9
fIj
I
I
(a) Sediment cores will be taken at eight (8) locations throughout the estuarine
basin. Three will be located in the western basin ((between U.S. Alt. 19 and
Pinellas Trail) and are expected to collect sediment from the top 2 meters.
Three will be in the eastern basin (between Pinellas Trail and Douglas Ave.)
and the sediment core will collected from the top 1.5 meters of sediment.
The remaining two samples will be taken in upstream sedimentary basins in
each of the Stevenson Creek main branch and Spring Branch.nCores will be
preserved for subsampling. Recommended locations for core sampling sites
will be presented following the completion of historical data review and
inspection of the study area. Selection of sampling locations will also be
coordinated with the sampling program activities of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers to provide a consistent set of data for the estuarine basin.
(b) Each core will be profiled using radioisotropic dating. This will involve the
subsampling of each core at one centimeter intervals until the cesium horizon
is located and at 10 cm intervals thereafter to determine pre-1960 profiles.
(c) Core samples shall also be analyzed for beryllium to establish bioturbation
effects. If bioturbation is prevalent, subsequent tests may not produce
reliable or conclusive results and will not be conducted. Additional cores
may be recommended based on the results of the first series of analyses. If
the beryllium profile indicates that the sedimentary layers are stable, the
upper layers of the core samples (pre- and post-WWTP) will be analyzed for
Coprostonol, carbon isotopes, and metals. The depths of these subsamples
will be determined based on critical dates related to development in the
watershed and WWTP upgrades.
(d) The sediments from the upstream sites will be analyzed similarly to provide
insights into the composition of sedimentary source materials.
(e) The data will be analyzed in concert with all known historical facts relevant
to the watershed and its development in order to produce estimates of
historical sedimentary deposition rates and sources. Historical data for the
watershed and data from other sources will be utilized to further support the
analysis of conditions in the watershed.
2.3.3.3 The CONSULTANT shall evaluate existing water quality, sediment, flow and
pollutant 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. The need to conduct any additional water quality
sampling will be evaluated and recommendations provided to the PROJECT
REPRESENTATIVES. The cost for additional monitoring is not part of this scope.
2.3.3.4 The CONSULTANT shall utilize existing and ongoing water quality studies to
identify specific water quality problems that can be targeted for remedial action.
Pollutant loading rates for specific land uses and pollutant removal efficiencies for
typical stormwater treatment systems shall be considered in the assessment based
10
IX)
I
I
upon existing water quality data for the watershed, water quality sampling data
collected in Subtask 2.3.3.1, and existing literature values. Average annual
pollutant loadings shall be calculated for existing land use conditions in the basin.
Calculations shall take into account known existing point source discharge
loadings, baseflows, stormwater pollutant loadings, and the pollutant removal
efficiencies of existing stormwater treatment facilities.
The following approach shall be utilized in the development of the water quality
analysis:
Compilation of the Watershed Map. The CITY shall provide the AutoCad or
Arclnfo maps developed for the area encompassing the study area and
CONSULTANT will be responsible for aggregating the data for each level of
analysis.
Land Use Data by Catchment. Catchments shall be defined as the small
hydrologic units used as the basis for the hydrologic/hydraulic models.
CONSULTANT will conduct the Arclnfo intersection analysis by catchment using
the SWFWMD FLUCCS maps.
Assessment of Current Stormwater Treatment Capabilities. By reviewing
aerial photographic mapping provided by the CITY and conducting a limited
number of field visits, CONSULT ANT will identify all treatment facilities in the
watershed as well as their location by catchment. CONSULT ANT shall obtain
SWFWMD GIS coverages of all MSSW and ERP permitted stormwater
management facilities and obtain record drawings of these facilities to define the
type of stormwater treatment provided and the contributing drainage area.
Subsequently, the pollutant removal capacity of those facilities will be estimated
based on literature review. For that purpose, information will be obtained
primarily from SWFWMD. Pollutants considered will include those in the
NPDES permit (pinellas County and/or City of Clearwater) for stormwater
discharges. The pollutant removal processes that take place in the watershed's
lakes and wetlands will be considered separately from the removal in stormwater
treatment units.
Development of Pollutant Loading Model. The model will be spreadsheet-based
and will include the following:
(1) Land use distribution by catchment.
(2) Point source pollutant loadings.
(3) Baseflow pollutant loads.
(4) Stormwater pollutant loads based on event mean concentrations.
(5) Removal capabilities of proposed stormwater treatment facilities.
(6) Loads by pollutant and by catchment, subbasin, and basin.
2.3.3.5 The CONSULTANT shall identify and evaluate impacts of potential solutions
within the three (3) major subwatershed branches of the Stevenson Creek
watershed, including the main Stevenson Creek channel, the Highlands Avenue
11
IiJ
I

branch, and the Spring Branch. This assessment shall consider the average annual
pollutant load from each branch to determine relative contributions to the lower
estuary for determination of the most cost-effective resolution of water quality
problems.
2.3.3.6 The CONSULTANT shall make recommendations for ongoing monitoring to
demonstrate improvements to water quality brought about by implementation of
the recommended MANAGEMENT PLAN and PROJECT(S).

Numbers 125096 00080, 00090, 00150, and 00160, all dated August 19, 1991 and the
associated Flood Insurance Study may be affected by the request for a revision.
CONSULT ANT will use the following for guidance in preparing appropriate
documentation:
(a) The National Flood Insurance Program Regulations (44 CFR Chapter 1, Parts 59
through 77)
(b) The document entitled 'Guidelines and Specifications for Study Contractors (FEMA
37)' dated January 1995.
(c) The document entitled 'Revisions to National Flood Insurance Program Maps
(OMB Number 3067-0148)', which expires April 30, 2001.
The CONSULT ANT will generate documentation by recasting data in the
MANAGEMENT PLAN. Additional analyses will not be performed for the preparation of
documentation. More specifically:
(a) The documentation will be based on existing conditions. The results of future and
on-going projects will not be shown in the revision.
(b) The existing conditions analyses will be generated with the AdICPR version 2.1.12
model, or more current version.
(c) Flood hazard boundary delineation's for 1- and 0.2-percent annual chance floods will
be generated based on topographic data shown on existing Southwest Florida Water
Management ~istrict aerials and surveys of existing conditions within the
watershed.
(d) Some areas which are not currently identified as exposed to flood hazards may be
subsequently shown as exposed to flood hazard.
( e) Flood hazards may be defined for tributary areas and within closed basins.
(f) Coastal flood hazard analyses will not be performed. Existing conditions analyses
from the MANAGEMENT PLAN will be tied into effective coastal flood hazard
delineations currently shown on Flood Insurance Rate Maps.
(g) Floodway analyses are not currently delineated along Stevenson Creek, as shown on
the map-initiative format Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the City of Clearwater, and
will not be generated with the MANAGEMENT PLAN or this request for a revision
to National Flood Insurance Program data.
(h) Portions of Stevenson Creek and the Stevenson Creek floodplain that lie outside the
corporate limits for the City of Clearwater may not be revised. Revision to areas
that lie outside the City of Clearwater may only be made to meet National Flood
Insurance Program tie-in requirements.
