capable of removing up to 80% of all Total Suspended Solids (TSS) from stormwater. This TSS removal rate is in compliance with management measures created by the EPA. With a per pound of pollutant removed cost of 10¢/1 lb., this technology provides the City with an affordable and easily maintainable water quality improvement device. Further, since the unit is currently in service and was paid for utilizing CFI dollars, the District would see an increase in stormwater treated for their initial investment. Drainage structure/piping placement and sizing was derived through the utilization of stormwater modeling data. The City will follow ERP submittal protocol as outlined in SWFWMD's regulations. Design funds are not being requested and, if the water quality improvement project is selected, construction can commence immediately. Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection ordinances. The City of Belleair Bluffs is actively involved with maintaining clean water through yearly NPDES evaluations. The City has aggressively pursued ways to control erosion, minimize street and structural flooding and enhance water quality. Ordinances have been developed to maintain State and Federal requirements.

Project participants will receive an irrigation system evaluation, site-specific recommendations, rain sensor installation if an operable sensor is not present, water wise landscaping educational materials, and a watering shut-off nozzle. Reclaimed water and private well water users have been included to encourage conservative practices and prevent overutilization of these resources, in an effort to protect natural systems and water quality, minimize flooding potential, and increase water resource availability to additional customers. A qualified irrigation contractor will be hired to perform evaluations. To date, over 1,639 evaluations and 1,204 rain sensor installations have been performed as part of this project. The proposed 2014 project (Phase 6) is expected to provide approximately 300 irrigation system evaluations at no cost to the customer. According to "Potable Water Conservation Best Management Practices for the Tampa Bay Region" (Tampa Bay Water, 2003), a City of Tampa study of 96 residential locations identified average savings of 188 gallons per account per day (gpad) as a result of irrigation evaluations. Despite the lack of a rebate associated with modifications, during the previous phases of this Program customer survey and followup evaluation results indicate that many of the system and time clock suggested efficiency modifications were implemented. Annual water savings will average 15 million gallons, affecting the entire tri-county area since water savings in St. Petersburg has a positive effect on regional water supplies and assists in protection of natural systems. Utilizing the District's methodology, the overall cost effectiveness of this rebate program is $1.59 per thousand gallons saved, and is expected to save 75 mg over the next 5 years. Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection ordinances. The City Administration has been proactive in the development of ordinances vital to achieving the desired objective of management of water resources and flood protection. Watering restrictions have been established through City Ordinance 842-F and 178-G. A Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Chapter 16 of the City Code) was adopted by City Council in March of 2002. In 1994, the St. Petersburg Stormwater Management Master Plan was completed and SWFWMD conceptual permits were obtained for the proposed projects. The St. Petersburg Stormwater Management Master Plan also addresses level of service criteria and serves as the guide document for City ordinances and pending drainage improvements within the City of St. Petersburg. Ordinance No. 2017-F and 147-G regulates the control and management of drainage and surface waters in harmony with the City 97
