DANIELS’ DITCH CULVERTS

Mr. Fabry motioned to approve the field report. Mr. McKenna seconded. Motion passed.
ENGINEER’S REPORT
STATUS OF FLOODING ISSUES (TARPON BLUE) AT BABCOCK RANCH
Mr. Grandusky said that due to a large rain event that happened back in February, he went out and did an inspection, with a drone. Mr. Grandusky said there was a lot of water flowing into the north culverts from Babcock Ranch at the beginning of March 2019, and then there was a breach at Babcock’s outfall structure. Mr. Grandusky said that he reported the breach to SFWMD (South Florida Water Management District) who then followed up with an inspection. Mr. Grandusky said that Tarpon Blue then repaired the breach. Ms. Roberts, SFWMD representative, came and performed another inspection and reported that everything was in compliance.
Mr. Grandusky said that two weeks later there was another rain event and water had flowed into CLDD, once again. Mr. Grandusky said that he spoke with Ms. Roberts again, and told her that Tarpon Blue had actually not installed a culvert with a riser, per their permit, but instead, installed a PVC pipe. Mr. Grandusky said that Ms. Roberts is following up on this issue and reviewing Tarpon Blue’s permit to make sure the project was performed in accordance with Tarpon’s permit conditions.
Mr. Grandusky said that CLDD needs to document all issues regarding Babcock Ranch from now on with documentation and pictures, all dated. Mr. Beale said that Mr. Lynn can get out on the wing wall and take pictures, but he does not want to do anything that will be considered trespassing.
Mr. Beale asked Mr. Grandusky if he has had a chance to look at the operations agreement with CLDD and Babcock Ranch to see where the boundary is. Mr. Grandusky said that he has looked at the maps and boundaries and said that the boundaries are east of Sections 1 & 2, north from CLDD’s berm to the south end of Tarpon Blue’s new melon field.
Mr. Beale said, that out of courtesy, CLDD should contact Mr. Conrath at the Forestry Division and ask if CLDD has the right to monitor the infrastructure, inspect the berm and monitor water levels. Mr. Beale said that Mr. Lynn has reached out to Mr. Conrath, but has not received a response.
Mr. McKenna said, it will be critical to know, if at the end of May 2019, if Tarpon Blue is ending the season or does it look like they preparing the fields for an additional harvest.

APRIL 10, 2019

Mr. Grandusky said that the fee to hire a person to fly a drone is $159.00 per hour. The supervisors agreed that hiring someone to operate a drone is a good idea.
UPDATE ON SPANISH CREEK PROJECT, RE: ELEVATIONS
Mr. Beale asked Mr. Grandusky for an update on the Spanish Creek Project. Mr. Grandusky said there are two parts. First, what the district needs to do is vegetative maintenance on the ditch downstream of the outfall culverts in Spanish Creek. Second, Mr. Grandusky said that he has done research on property ownership, and the ditch itself falls within the piece owned by CLDD and that the spoil parcel is partially owned by SFWMD and flows freely and probably holds water year-round.  Mr. Grandusky said, that if CLDD was to perform some maintenance, this is where it needs to begin because it is overgrown with Brazilian Pepper Trees.
Mr. Grandusky said that there is a Right-of-Way Permit that was issued to CLDD by SFWMD for the use of the ditch which allows maintenance. Mr. Grandusky said that he will get in touch with a representative of SFWMD regarding CLDD performing the maintenance.
CALL FOR NEW OR OTHER BUSINESS

Subject: Engineer’s Annual Report for Year 2018 – 2019

Dear President Beale and Board of Supervisors:

GMAwater, LLC (formerly Grandusky, Lamb and Associates, LLC) is pleased to submit the following engineer’s report summarizing the progress of projects within the County Line Drainage District (CLDD) during the past year.

County Line Ditch Pump
The permanent surface water pump located at the northeast corner of Section 1 (installed in September 2014) was used to discharge offsite into County Line Ditch under the permitted operations plan. The pump provides additional drainage relief to offset water flowing into the CLDD from lands lying to the north through the five inflow structures when “off‐peak” flooding conditions exist in County Line Ditch. The following is a summary of pump operations during the past year (records provided by Florida Agri Management):
June 2018:	44.2 hours over 6 days
July 2018:	106.0 hours over 16 days
August 2018:	131.3 hours over 17 days
September 2018:	80.8 hours over 11 days
October 2018:	21.0 hours over 3 days November 2018 thru January 2019: no pumping
February 2019:	8.0 hours over 2 days
March 2019:	72.5 hours over 10 days
April 2019 thru May 2019:	no pumping

Babcock Water Storage Project
Construction of the project was completed in June of 2018. CLDD continues to maintain the berm improvements by mowing, repairing washouts and re‐seeding disturbed areas. Water levels on the north side of the berm are being monitored and recorded in a log. The monitoring data is available to evaluate the project’s effectiveness in terms of extending the duration of wetland hydroperiods within the water storage area on Babcock Ranch Preserve and reducing flows into CLDD (which ultimately goes to the Caloosahatchee Estuary).

Engineer’s Annual Report for Year 2018 ‐ 2019

Hydraulic Capacity Evaluation of Daniel’s Ditch Outfall Structure
The District Engineer presented the results of a capacity evaluation on the existing Daniel’s Ditch outfall structure at the board meeting in July 2018. The evaluation showed the invert elevation (8.45ft NAVD88) of the existing twin 72” CMP culverts was set too high with respect to the permitted weir crest elevation (9.73ft NAVD88), and was causing a restriction in the discharge capacity of the structure. By lowering the culverts 2ft (and leaving the weir crest elevation the same), the peak discharge in Daniels Ditch resulting from the 25‐year, 72‐hour design storm event would increase by about 27% and the resulting peak flood stage in the grove would be about 0.5ft lower. Based on these findings, the CLDD Board of Supervisors directed the field operations contractor to reset the culverts 2ft lower, and the work was completed in April 2019.

The District Engineer noted additional vegetative maintenance is needed on the stretch of Daniels Ditch from the outfall structure south to where the ditch ties in to Spanish Creek on the north side of River Road (CR78) as shown on the attached exhibit.

Monitor Proposed Farming Activities on Babcock Ranch Preserve
In July 2018, Tarpon Blue Resource & Land Management, LLC (the primary Lessee of the state‐owned Babcock Ranch Preserve) applied to the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for environmental resource permits (ERP) to farm a single crop of melons on five fields within Babcock Ranch Preserve located within close proximity immediately north of CLDD. The five fields included 790‐planted acres and an additional 615 acres set aside for stormwater detention impoundments, in all totaling 1,405 acres. The District Engineer reviewed the applications to determine if the proposed farming activities will increase the amount of runoff entering CLDD, or otherwise adversely affect CLDD. The District Engineer submitted comments in writing to SFWMD on July 20, 2018, which included concerns of potential impacts to CLDD. A follow‐up meeting with the District Engineer, SFWMD staff and the applicant was held on August 2, 2018 to discuss CLDD’s concerns. SFWMD required the applicant to increase the size of two of the detention impoundments, but otherwise did not address all of CLDD’s concerns, and on August 31, 2018 issued five ERPs (one for each field) under Rule 62‐330.501, F.A.C. “General Permit for Temporary Agricultural Activities”. Tarpon Blue carried out the melon farming activity during the months from January 2018 to May 2019.

With all melon fields planted, a weather front produced 2” to 6” of rain (as measured in the citrus grove) during the last week of February 2019, with higher rainfall amounts reported to the north in Babcock Ranch Preserve. The rain triggered the melon farmers to use their drainage throw‐out pumps, which caused the stormwater detention impoundment for one of the melon fields to breach and release a large volume of water. The District Engineer discovered the breach during an inspection on March 2, 2019 following reports of high inflows coming through CLDD’s north perimeter berm at culvert #5 in Section 3 of the grove. The breach was reported to SFWMD and Tarpon Blue made repairs. SFWMD conducted a follow‐up compliance inspection and found the repairs to be acceptable, and deemed the remainder of the farming activities to be in compliance with the ERP conditions. Culverts #1, #2 and #3 in CLDD’s north berm also flowed (to a

2

lesser extent) as a result of the melon farm drainage pumping following the rain event for about a week. In an effort to increase discharges from the grove in response to the inflows from Babcock during this period, CLDD operated the County Line Ditch Pump for 12 days and lowered the weir crest elevation on Millers Gulley as authorized under existing SFWMD permits.

The ERP requires Tarpon Blue to revert the fields back to pastures following the melon harvest, including removal of drainage facilities and planting of grass, by the end of June 2019. Given the documented impact of the breach and increased amounts/durations of standing water observed north of CLDD’s berm because of the farming activity, CLDD should continue to monitor for permit application activity associated with future farming activities proposed on Babcock Ranch Preserve.

Sincerely,

Kyle D. Grandusky, P.E.
