Project Description:
The Oldsmar Stormwater Master Plan was last updated in 2002 with cooperative funding from the District. Since 2002 the City of
Oldsmar has seen considerable growth including additional construction along the Tampa Road corridor, the completion of Forest
Lakes Boulevard, and several new subdivisions. During this time significant changes in stormwater rules and regulations have
developed making the 2002 plan that focuses only on the flooding component of stormwater management obsolete. The primary
objectives to update the stormwater master plan are: development of water quality/quantity model to estimate pollutant loadings to
surface waters, determine level of service of existing infrastructure, identification of localized flooding, development of GIS to
identify stormwater management system for planning/maintenance purposes, evaluation of current City Code to identify updates
necessary for the protection of natural resources and promotion of conservation, identification of stormwater improvement projects
to increase basin storage, retrofit urban systems to incorporate best management practices and eliminate/reduce localized flooding.
By utilizing a holistic approach to stormwater management, pollution is anticipated to reduced through the implementation of the
resulting projects, which would help protect Mobbly Bayou and other receiving waters.
As part of the update, we propose completing the following tasks:1) Development of stormwater model to determine water quality/
quantity loadings to surface waters that shall incorporate LiDAR and permitting data. (LiDAR shall be utilized to verify basin
delineation). 2)Survey of all major drainage systems within the City to incorporate into the model. 3) Establishment of stormwater
monitoring stations to record stage and site specific monitoring of water chemistry for model verification and calibration. 4) Utilize
land use data to incorporate into the stormwater model to estimate pollutant loadings. 5) Development of GIS database to reflect:
basin delineation, proposed stormwater monitoring locations, asset identification: canal/ditches, pipes, inlets, BMPs, weirs, outfalls,
locations of localized flooding, land uses, and proposed projects. 6) Evaluate the existing City Code specifically related to the
protection of natural resources and promotion of conservation (Specifically dealing with: landscape, irrigation, stormwater
management, pollution prevention/enforcement)
Through the completion of the Stormwater Master Plan, the City will be able to better prioritize the use of capital improvement funds
for projects that are projected to have the most benefit to water quality and increasing basin storage. Projects shall be identified to
meet the target goals for nitrogen in the upper Tampa Bay estuary that have already been established.
