Percolation of stormwater within the sump means concentrated pollutants never reach SL and TB. A natural treatment area is<br />

proposed upstream of Channel 2A. Directly downstream of the ditch block, a dense planting area is proposed to reduce water<br />

velocity and allow for additional sediment removal while reducing ditch bank erosion.<br />

The proposed devices and natural elements will remove floatables, heavy metals and non-native vegetation seeds, and are<br />

capable of removing 80% of TSS from received stormwater, with a per pound pollutant removal rate of 19-cents/lb. This removal<br />

rate is in compliance with management measures created by the EPA.<br />

Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection<br />

ordinances.<br />

The City of Pinellas Park is committed to developing, implementing, and enforcing water conservation and flood protection<br />

measures. The City has adopted a floodplain ordinance, Ord. 848 (7/14/77), and participates in the National Flood Insurance<br />

Program and the Community Rating System. The City's Flood Damage Control provisions under the Land Development Code were<br />

recently updated (Ord. 3157) and the City has received a Class 7 rating from the Federal Emergency <strong>Management</strong> Agency<br />

Community Rating System. Floodplain requirements are incorporated through required building and site alteration permits,<br />

development review, and inspection. Ord. 1492 (6/13/85) incorporates water shortage declarations and measures of Pinellas<br />

County and SWFWMD and makes them subject to enforcement action under the Code of Ordinances. Ord. 2316 (03/09/95)<br />

establishes and sets terms of use for the City's Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong> program, initiated in 1996 as a five-stage, ten-year project. Ord.<br />

2392 (8/22/96) requires separate metering of all reclaimed water utilities and requires the owners of single family homes with<br />

reclaimed water service to connect irrigation systems with reclaimed service. In addition to City ordinances, the City has worked<br />

closely with SWFWMD and other partner agencies in a number of conservation and flood control measures. In 2001, the City<br />

received a SWFWMD Education Grant to implement a broad-based showerhead replacement and public education campaign to<br />

promote water conservation. The City recently completed the final phase of its Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong> program, developed with support<br />

from the SWFWMD Cooperative Funding program. The Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong> project was successfully completed under budget while<br />

meeting all SWFWMD grant requirements. With SWFWMD Cooperative Funding and staff participation, from 2005 through 2009<br />

the City completed major drainage improvements along Park Boulevard with the implementation of BMPs in the City's <strong>Water</strong>shed<br />

<strong>Management</strong> Program, including the construction of stormwater management storage areas (SMSA), environmental education<br />

components, and outfall structures. The City is currently implementing BMPs in the Sawgrass <strong>Water</strong>shed area in participation with<br />

SWFWMD and the SWIM program staff, and the assistance of SWFWMD Cooperative Funding and SWIM Funding.<br />
