TAMPA BAY NITROGEN MANAGEMENT CONSORTIUM
1995..1999 ACTION PLAN
March 1998
"
1. Introduction
This Action ~lan of the Tampa Bay Nitrogen Management Consortium is the culmination of a
year~long effort among local governments, agencies, and industries in the Tampa Bay region to
develop a rum plan of action to achieve the nitrogen management goals adopted by the Tampa
Bay National Estuary Program (NBP). Controlling the bay's nitrogen intake as a means of
restoring vital undeIWater seagrass br.ds has been one of the most prominent initiatives of the
, Tampa Bay NEP. Seagrasses were selected by the NEP as a yardstick by which efforts ~
,'improve the bay will be tn~ because of their overall importance to the bay ecosystem,
and because they are an importan~ barometer of their environment, ].ndicaling changes in long-
term water quality.
Since the turn of the century. pollution and dredging have destroyed more than half of the .
bay's seagrass beds. But aerial photographic surveys bave documented recovery of more than
3,000 acres of new or expanded 5eagrass beds in Tampa Bay since 1988, some in areas like
HUlsborough Bay that bad been barren for decades.
""-"'nl~
". /1'
This remarkable recovery is strongly correlated with reductions in nitrogen loading to the bay.
The weight of scientific evidence indicates that the dieback of seagrasses which accompanied
the rapid urbanization of the Tampa Bay region (excluding beds which bad been buried or
physically removed by dredging and filling) was due to insufficient light reaching submerged
grassbeds. The primary cause of the reduced light penetration was an overabundance of
phytoplankton (algae' suspended in the water column) which was being fueled by excessive
ni~ogen input to the bay.
2. Seagrass Restoration and Nitrogen Management Goals

The Tampa Bay NEP bas adopted a long-term goal of recovering 12.350 acres of seagrasses .
baywide which would bring the total seagrass coverage to about 38,000 acres. That roughly
represents the seagrass acreage that existed in 1950, excluding areas that have been
permanently altered by dredging and ftlling activities. Empirical water quality models
developed through the NEP for each major segment of the bay indicate that wllter quality in
the bay bas improved sufficientlY to allow the seagrass recovery goal to be acbieved, over
time, through natural regrowth.
~~~
To maintain existing water clarity and sustain the seagrass recovery process, the NEP haS
adopted a five-year nutrient management goal to cap nitrogen loadings at existing levels (1992-
94 average).

Though not members of the Consortium, Tampa Electric Company (TEe) and Florida Power
Corporation have been observing and occasionally participating in Consortium discussioDS.
Efforts by TEe to reduce NOs emissions from its plants on Tampa Bay are among the key
industry projects included in the Action Plan.
4. Methodology
The approach advocated by the NEP stresses cooperative solutions and flexible strategies to
meet nitrogen management goals. The Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan
(CCMP) adopted by the NEP does not prescribe the specific types of projects that must be
included in the Action Plan. Consortium partners have been encouraged to pursue the most
cost--effective optio~ to achieve the agreed~upon goals for nitrogen management.
The Tampa Bay NEP and several agency members of the Consortium have responsibilities for
monitoring and tracking the impact of nitrogen management efforts on seagrass recovery and
associated water quality. A separate -monitoring and tracking- element is included in the
Consortium Action Plan. itemizing specific monitoring actions by the NEP office and others.
Project.specifi~ nitrogen reduction calculations
Estimates of existing (untreated) loads and expected load reductions for each project were,
calculated by the NMC participants responsible for implementing the projects. Project .
descriptions and nitrogen management load re4uctions are listed by participant in Appendix A
The participants used one or more of the following methods for calculating contribution toward
the nitrogen management goal for each bay segment.

The Air Division of the Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County used a
different procedure to estimate emissions and associated reductions from the TEe power
plants. While both EPC and TEC use the same Continuous Emissions Monitors, different
estimates of heat input were used to calculate annual emissions. Using the alternative method,
EPC estimates that TEe bas reduced NO... emissions by 11,600 tons/yr between 1995 and
1997. Using the 400:1 ratio between NO" emissions and nitrogen entering the 'bay, the 11.600
ton reduction in NOx translates into an estimated 29 ton reduction ~aY~y,'ide per year.
Estimates of N reduction to each bay segment using EPC assumptions are as follows.

EPC and TEe both agree that ultimately the same data base should be used to calculate emissions
, and estimated reductions, and are working toward that end. For purposes of this Action PJan,
reductions realized from atmospheric deposition rates are included as a range, using both the TEe
and EPC estimates.

Project Name: Flood Management Program
~oject Description: The objective of this program is to ensure that flood control projects
consider water-quality impacts and to show how flood management projects in HHlsborough
, County can be designed to protect or enhance water quality. The SMS is providing evaluations
of the environmental condition of the master basin studies prepared by the Planning and
Development Management Department (PDMD). Beyond flood control, the SMS emphasizes
the importance of providing methods to improve existing water quality in a particular basin.
This effort involves providing environmental analysis to the Stonnwater Master Drainage Plan.
including research on historic environmental conditions within the basin and calculations of
pollution loads for each basin. To date, the PDMD has completed a fmal draft for two master
basins studies: East Lake and Lower Sweetwater Creek area. Fifteen other basins in the county
are left to be studied, with an average of one basin study per year. The SMS also provided,
input to PembertonIBaker Creek Master Drainage Study.

Project Description: Based on Trophic State Index (fSI), East Lake has one of the worst
water qualities of the roughly 258 Jakes in HiJIsborough County. The lake receives stonnwater
runoff from an 1100+ acre watershed, and discharges into the Tampa Bypass Canal and
eventually into Tampa Bay. The objective of the project is the implementation'ofan'a1um
injection stonnwater treatment system to treat stormwater runoff entering East Lake. The East
Lake area is a priority area for Hillsborougb County because the lake has such poor water
quality and it was the rust area for which a Master Drainage Plan was drafted.

Project Name: Florida Yards & Neighborhoods/Water Resources Public Education
Project Description: The City of Tampa continues to fund implementation of the Florida
Yards and Neighborhoods program through the West Coast Regional Water Supply Authority.
In addition, the City of Tampa has a series of separate programs operated through its Water
Department, with the same goals of decreasing water demand and fertilizer. They include:
Rate structur~.s: In 1990, the City implemented a two-tier water rate structure as an
incentive for customers to conserve. It consists of a standard water rate which applies to
a threshold level, and a conservation surcharge imposed when'consumption exceeds that'
level.
~ode provisions: Outdoor watering restrictions were enacted in 1992. Ongoing
enforcement efforts include "bill sluffers" detailing the restrictions and the assignment
of employees to a water patrol. A landscape code, promulgated by the Parks ,
Department, has been modified to limit turf and encourage xeric landscaping. Only
30% of a landscape can be planted in high water use plantings. The City also provides

Hl1Isborough Bay
1995-1999 Nitrogen Mo.nagcment Action Plan
Marth J 998
in report from the Florida Phosphate Council to TBNEP (2-94). conveyor improvements in
1993 resulted in a reduction of "spillage" of diammonium phosphate (DAP) product from 1.2
tpy to 1 ~O tpy. This equates to a reduction in total N. which is 18 % of DAP by weight. in the
amount of:
(0.18)(1.2 tonlyr - 1.0 tonlyr) = 0.04 tonlyr
EXisting load was: (0.18)(1.2 tonlyr) == 0.22 ton Iyr
Percent reduction was: [(0.04)/(0.22)](100) = 18%
Note: The above reduction was achieved by installation of belt scrapers at conveyor transfer
points, which reduces the off-belt drift of agglomerated particles. These are more properly
characterized as fugitives as reflected in the Action Plan.
Slilll~ .
Based on actual site data and engineering estimates.
Comments: ,Additional upgrades to the conveyor and delivery system were implemented
which improved containment of product on belts and further reduced drift. In June 1990. air
fallout testS were conducted at the facility to estimate the total product Joss from direct spillage
and drift fallout. Since this direct test did not differentiate. the reductions are combined into
spillage reduction. Results of the fallout testing indicated a tota1loss rate of 48 tonlyr DAP.
At (0.18)(48 tonlyr)) total existing load was 8.64 tonlyr N). These losses were essentially
eliminated by structural controls by 1993. CFs estimate of the reduction is >99%:
(8.64)(.99) = 8.6 ton N/yr.
As a cross--cbeck. prior to completion of the Phase D conveyor enhancement (1997) a loSs of
approximately 5 Jb DAP per ship loading was still being observed under the loading conveyor.
CF loads roughly 30 to 50 ships per year. Maximum spillage is thus (5 Ib)(30) to (S Ib)(50),
or 150 to 250 lb DAP. At 18% N, this equates to 50 Ib/yr N. Compare this to 1 % of 8.64 ton
N/yr = 0.01(8.64)(2000) = 1721b Nt which is slightly higher and thus conservative.
Agreement is good and 99% removal is a reasonable estimate.
, StormwaJer
Based on actual site data.
Comments: The average flow-weighted concentration of Total N in stormwter runoff based
on site monitoring from 1990-1993 was 69 mgfL. Using average annual rainfall of 47.33
inches [96~yr average for Tampa International Airport per SWFWMD), watershed area of 12
acres, and a weighted runoff coefficient of 0.69 [as reported in previous permitting submittals].
total existing load was:
47.33 in (0.69)(12 ac)(43560 rf/ac)(1 ftl12 in)(? .481 galffr)
= 10,600,000 gal
From TBNEP guidelines (March 1997):
10.6 Mgal(69 mglL)(8.342) = 61011b, or 3.1 TPY
Monitoring data from 1994-1995 showed an average flow-weighted concentration of total N of
43 mglL. which is a 38 % reduction in nitrogen. '
6101 Ib(O.38) = 2318 lb or 1.2 tons/yr N reduction

Project Name: Whole Farm Planning
Project description: In 1995, the Hi11sborough County Board of County Commissioners
authorized the formation of an Agricultural Task Force. The charge of this group was to
document the social and economic impact of agriculture on the community, identify the major
impediments to the current and future prosperity of agriculture and propose possible solutions
to those impediments.
As a result of the research generated by the project, it was determined that agriculture was
in distress due to the number of local, district, state and federal agencies involved in
regulation. the number and cost of permits needed to conduct business and the convoluted
nature of the process.
In response to this charge, the Florida Department of Agriculture (FDACS) and the FDEP
submitted and received a Innovative Investment Grant from the Governor's office to establish a
pilot Whole Farm Plan in Hillsborough County. Fanners participating in the program will
implement state-of-the-art BMPs and meet all statutory standards, in return for a more efficient
and palatable regulatory climate. As with all ecosystem management agreements, a net
environmental benefit over and above the traditional regulatory process must be achieved.

Project Name: Overlay District projects
Project Description: Manatee County has created special overlay districts to protect its potable
water supplies. The Lake Manatee overlay district (WO-~ is approximately 82.240 acres and
the Braden RiverlEvers Reservoir overlay district (WO-E) is approximately 32,800 acres.
Allowed activities within the'overlay disl;ricts are significantly more restrictive than in other areas
of the county and require ston11\vater treatment within the overlay'districts to nieet Outstanding
Florida Waters (OFW) standards. Additionally, all tributaries within the overlay districts must
have a minimum 50-foot buffer. and all agricultural activities are required to implement BMPs,
with documentation of such man'agement practices in Conservation Plans approved by the
Manatee River Soil and Water Conservation District.
Location (drainage basin): Lower Tampa Bay
Contribution toward goal: While Manatee County created the overlay districts to protect its
drinking water supplies, efforts within the districts' also limit nutrients and taxies from reaching
Tampa Bay. It is estimated that a reduction or preclusion of 1.49 tons per year from developed
areas. and 8.57 tons per year from agricultural areas will be realized through management
practices required within the overlay district.

Project Name: Central sewer hook~up
Project Description: Residental hook~up to central sewer systems is an important part of
Manatee County Public Wodcs Department Capital Improvement Projects (eIP). As CIP ,
monies are available, Public Works and Project Management Departments target subdivision
for central sewer. The priorities are based on many components such as historically failing
systems, proximity to canals, strt;ams and tributaries or combined with other major
infrastructure improvements. From the period 1995-1997,312 units have been removed from
septic systems. If this trend continues. ,it is estimated that approximately 512 units could be
connected to central sewer by the end of 1999.
Location (drainage basin): Lower Tampa Bay
Contribution toward goal: The removal of units from septic systems eliminates the
contribution of nitrogen into the surficial ground waters which provide baseflow to surface.
