Estuarine Pollution<br />

Estuarine pollution conditions in the Banana River lagoon are affected by discharges from<br />

stormwater outfalls in the City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong>. Lacking significant industrial l<strong>and</strong> areas, the<br />

major sources of pollution are runoff from residential areas, streets, <strong>and</strong> commercial parking lots.<br />

The City has adopted on-site stormwater detention-regulations for private development activities.<br />

Regulations currently in place <strong>and</strong> limited opportunity for future l<strong>and</strong> development of the City<br />

(primarily residential uses) eliminate significant potential for increases in estuarine pollution.<br />

Level of Service<br />

The adopted LOS for the City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> is the 5-year design storm, 6.6 inch rainfall, with 24-<br />

hour concentration. This LOS is the result of a negotiated agreement with the SJRWMD recognizing<br />

that the City is essentially built-out <strong>and</strong> lacks the necessary open real estate in which to build storm<br />

water detention/retention facilities. The City is meeting its current level of service st<strong>and</strong>ard for<br />

drainage throughout the current <strong>and</strong> future 10-year planning period. With the amount of vacant l<strong>and</strong><br />

available in the City it is not anticipated that future development will cause an influx of additional<br />

adverse impacts on the City’s drainage systems.<br />

Improvements to the Drainage System<br />

Through enforcement of City regulations, all future residential development or redevelopment will<br />

be required to provide stormwater drainage facilities. Therefore, the majority of requirements for<br />

future stormwater drainage systems will be provided by developers; however, there are some City<br />

drainage improvement projects scheduled within the next 5-year schedule of capital improvements.<br />

The City entered into a joint agreement with FDOT to reduce storm water drainage to the<br />

beach/ocean at Grant Street, DeSoto Parkway, <strong>and</strong> Norwood Court.<br />

The City continues to use the City newsletter <strong>and</strong> other available media to conduct public education<br />

programs concerning City policies <strong>and</strong> codes to reduce careless actions that could further diminish<br />

the effectiveness of the City’s drainage system.<br />

Potable Water<br />

Responsible Agencies<br />

Potable water service has been supplied to the City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> by the City of Melbourne<br />

under a 1970 Interlocal agreement that was effective until March 10, 2000. A revised Ordinance No.<br />

782 was adopted on March 1, 2000, further extending the agreement for 30 more years to March 10,<br />

2030. Under this franchise agreement, the City of Melbourne agrees to continue to operate <strong>and</strong><br />

maintain the system to service the City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong>. Service level <strong>and</strong> rates shall continue to be<br />

uniform <strong>and</strong> non-discriminatory throughout the entire system, except that geographical areas with<br />

higher costs can be higher. It should be noted that <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> water rates have been <strong>and</strong> will<br />
