Section 720, by addressing specific landscape planting requirements primarily for commercial property/development. Section 720 was revised again on 01/03/05 by Ordinance 04-80 to establish specific buffer matrixes including trees. Polk County has adopted a Flood Plain Ordinance (No. 00-009 Land Development Code) as required to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) administered through the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA). All development is required to receive the proper building and site alteration permits. All new structures are required to be placed above the base flood elevation (when the base flood elevation is known). We are also a participant in FEMA¿s Community Rating System and have received a class 7 rating. PCU's Reclaimed Water Program continues to be an integral part of the Polk County's conservation efforts. Polk County Ordinance No. 03-021 requires all new developments served by a wastewater treatment system that produces public access quality reclaimed water to install internal reuse distribution systems and to tie in when reclaimed water becomes available. The Ordinance prohibits the use of potable water for irrigation once reclaimed water becomes available at a particular location. Polk County's Year Round Water Conservation Measures and Water Shortage Ordinance (No. 04-07), approved on February 18, 2004, allows for improved enforcement of watering restrictions as set by the District and allows for localized limits on the use of reclaimed water to be the same as irrigation standards for potable water. This ordinance authorizes representatives of any agency from within Polk County to levy fines for violations and Amendment 09-050, effective 8/1/09, established a more progressive fine structure to curb repeat violations and to aggressively address Gross Water Waste. These cases are managed by a Codes Enforcement Officer position funded by Utilities with supplemental enforcement provided by Environmental Deputies from the Polk County Sheriff's Office and are presided over by the Polk County Code Enforcement Special Magistrate. The PCU Water Conservation Program Manual provides educational, regulatory, financial and operational measures for encouraging water conservation throughout our service areas. Any measures unique to a particular regional utility service area in unincorporated Polk County are also addressed.

A watershed management plan study was completed for this watershed at the end of 2002 and updated in 2007 (due to a limited budget, the alternatives analysis was not included in the scope of services for the 2007 update). Many projects were identified in the master plan, and the model results show that by completing the projects proposed in the master plan, most of the flood prone areas would be mitigated. However, due to land use changes and feasibility of construction issues, some of the proposed projects need to be re-evaluated and additional alternatives need to be analyzed. The objectives of this project are: 1. to update the model with new information on ERPs/CIPs since 2007; 2. to correct errors in the model and GIS files; 3. to convert the model from HCSWMM into EPA SWMM 5; 4. to develop a long term simulation model with EPA SWMM 5 to assess water quality; 5. to re-evaluate the CIPs proposed in the previous master plan; 6. to perform additional alternatives analysis; and 7. to provide final recommendations for flood control, water quality improvement, and natural systems protection. Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection ordinances. Water Conservation: Hillsborough County was the premier local government to criminalize the violation of water use restrictions, and to adopt a civil citation process for the enforcement of the same in July 1993. A fulltime Water Conservation Manager assures that the County stays abreast of conservation issues. This facilitates amendments to the County¿s Water Conservation Ordinance (HCO 91-27) as needed to quickly address changing conditions in the regulatory environment and as deemed appropriate by the County¿s administration. Flood Protection: The principal purpose of Hillsborough County¿s floodplain management program is to protect residents and business owners from flooding risks. Flooding disasters are the leading recurring hazard within the County and have the potential of affecting greater than one-quarter of the population at a value that is greater than five billion dollars in personal property. Construction standards and planning concepts are implemented through the County¿s Land Development Code, Floodplain Management Plan and Local Mitigation Strategy. 23
