Its watershed encompasses 52 square miles, including its two largest tributaries, South Creek and Brooker Creek. The lake is a valuable recreational destination and is renowned for its largemouth bass fishing. Pinellas County and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) share jurisdiction in maintaining and improving the health of Lake Tarpon. In 1998 the Lake Tarpon Drainage Basin Management Plan was completed and outlined a series of initiatives to protect the Lake from water quality degredation. Many intiatives from the plan have been implemented; however, Lake Tarpon's water quality has continued to decline; the Lake is now on the state's verified impaired waters list; and the remaining capital improvements are not feasible. This effort is to understand the continuing decline of water quality within the lake and to develop strategies to decrease nutrient loadings to the lake and restore and protect the lake's natural resources. Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection ordinances. Pinellas County is dedicated to improving flood protection as documented in the County's Comprehensive Plan (CP). The Surface Water Element of the CP obligates the County to protect, enhance, and improve water quality through water quality monitoring, watershed management plan development, and environmental enforcement. In addition, Pinellas County continues to expand its reclaimed water service areas to reduce demand on potable water for irrigation, to enforce watering restrictions, and to educate the public on the benefits of Florida Friendly Landscaping and proper irrigation and fertilization practices. Pinellas County also offers free resources to help students learn about saving water and offers numerous programs through the Extension office on the use of rain barrels, rain gardens, composting, and other conservation measures.
