This project is now activated coinciding with the new fiscal year. Staff is still developing project milestones. From an
operational standpoint, staff have narrowed a field site (Gum Springs) for the execution of this project. Current activity
related to this project is mapping of the entire field site for placement of potential experimental and control sites.
Currently, baseline assessment studies are being lined up to avail of the 150K budget for the first year. Inquiries for a
hydraulic pump and a sluice gate mechanism (relative to costs and maintenance) are presently being sought. Staff also
plan to explore soon how to obtain the necessary permits required to operate this flow manipulation study out in the field.
A meeting with Florida DEP scheduled in July was receptive to the issuance of an Environmental Resource Permit based
on certain conditions. All budget monies have already been encumbered for FY2009.
