230 Water Quality Assessment Report: Middle St. Johns discharges via a 36-inch pipe directly into the St. Johns River. The project involves the installation of a water quality baffle box to remove sediments and pollutants and improvements to the secondary drainage system, consisting of the installation of one curb inlet, curb repairs, and regrading and sodding of an existing swale/ditch. − − − Brisson Avenue Drainage Improvements and Water Quality Retrofit Project: The drainage area includes Brisson Avenue at the railroad crossing and south of Celery Avenue. Drainage is provided by ditches and cross-drains that eventually discharge into Lake Monroe, with no water quality treatment. Roads in the area frequently flood. The retrofit involves the design and construction of a retention pond to improve water quality, the replacement and upsizing of several culverts and cross-drains, and regrading and sodding of some of the ditches. First Drive Drainage Improvements and Water Quality Retrofit: Drainage for the First Drive area consists of ditches and cross-drains that eventually discharge into the St. Johns River, with no water quality treatment. Roads in the area frequently flood. The project involves the design and construction of a retention pond/sedimentation basin, the upsizing of several cross-drains, and the regrading and sodding of some ditches. Celery Avenue Regional Flood Attenuation and Water Quality Treatment Facility: The Celery Avenue drainage area, which currently receives no water quality treatment and experiences erosion and flooding problems, discharges into Lake Monroe and the St. Johns River. The construction of a 20-acre regional stormwater retention pond will improve water quality and provide flood protection for homes and for Celery Avenue, which floods during minor storms. A created wetland will further improve water quality and enhance wildlife habitat. The project will also delineate and remediate contaminated soils on the site.

LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL INITIATIVES Activities initiated by Volusia County are listed under the Deep Creek Planning Unit.
Water Quality Assessment Report: Middle St. Johns 231 Wekiva River Planning Unit STAKEHOLDERS The Wekiva River Basin Working Group was initiated by the Department and has been meeting since 1994. Membership in the group comprises the Department, SJRWMD, Lake County, Seminole County, Orange County, Altamonte Springs, Division of Forestry, FWC, and U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. A major accomplishment of the group was the development of a master mitigation list for use by permitting agencies and local governments. The Friends of the Wekiva River, a nonprofit organization, works to preserve the beauty and natural function of the Wekiva River ecosystem. Its major goals are to promote and protect the aesthetic and recreational values of the watershed, promote restoration of the river and its tributaries, and present educational programs to achieve these goals. The Friends identify potential impacts to the river and work to minimize or eliminate them. The Little Wekiva River Technical Subcommittee, formed in 1995 by the SJRWMD, has a legislative mandate to direct state funding for projects in the Little Wekiva watershed. The group has secured funding for riverbank stabilization projects, sediment removal, and stormwater retrofits. Membership includes the Department, the SJRWMD, Orange and Seminole Counties, the cities of Altamonte Springs and Orlando, the Friends of the Wekiva, and property and business owners. New efforts are under way to develop a basinwide master plan to address water quality and stream flow attenuation projects in the watershed. Sedimentation in the downstream sections of the Little Wekiva has also added to nuisance vegetation problems in both the Little Wekiva and the Wekiva rivers. Canoe usage is being documented to encourage state and federal agencies to maintain the stream, and to identify parcels of land needed to provide public access for recreation. Sweetwater Cove is a tributary to the Wekiva River that historically received wastewater. Excess sediment, nuisance vegetation, and poor esthetics are concerns. The Sweetwater Cove Tributary Surface Water Restoration Project was initiated in 2000 with legislative funding. The SJRWMD formed the Sweetwater Cove Tributary Surface Water Restoration Project Advisory Group to allow stakeholders the opportunity to participate in the restoration process. The group comprises representation from local residents, the Department, Friends of the Wekiva, Utilities, Inc., SJRWMD, and Seminole County. PROJECTS • Water quality planning, management, and improvement projects: Projects in the Little Wekiva watershed include intensive work to address erosion and sedimentation issues. Since 1995, the Little Wekiva River Technical Working Group and the SJRWMD have developed a master plan for erosion control, and received $11.95 million from the state during 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2001 to implement the plan. An additional $350,000 was made available through the Florida Department of Transportation Mitigation Bill process. All of these funds were matched with local and regional funds to complete the work. Eleven projects have
