Task 2a – Reservoir Can Meet Intent of LEC Regional Water Availability Rule
■ It can be considered an AWS project and/or a water resource development project
■ It captures stormwater and may offset additional demands
■ May provide the volume of water needed by utilities seeking additonal allocations without increasing volume or change timing of demands on the regional system
Because:

Task 2a – Multiple Pathways for Rule Compliance via Certification
■ As a resource development project, SFWMD Governing Board could authorize offsets to allow use of the reservoir as a future AWS
■ As a water supply project, District reviews an application for an alternative water supply reservoir to provide offsets for additional withdrawals from the surficial aquifer
■ Reservoir can be a key component in achieving the offset requirements of the Regional Water Availability Rule

Task 2b – Both Conveyance Alternatives Can Deliver Water from Reservoir to LEC Wellfields
■ Conveyance Alternative No. 1 – LWDD: ● Additional capital cost = $50 million● Annual O&M cost = $200,000
■ Conveyance Alternative No. 2 – EAA: ● Additional capital cost = $0 million● Annual O&M cost = $200,000
■ Water quantity and water quality analyses required for EAA route
■ Further analysis is particularly important to identify the potential impacts and benefits to Everglades restoration

Task 3 – Hydrogeology Directly West of L-8 Reservoir May Be Favorable for Storing Water
■ Conclusion based on examining available data from District and from Palm Beach Aggregates’ engineering consultants
■ Geologic and hydrologic characteristics in area west of and adjacent to the existing L-8 Reservoir are similar to those of the L-8 Reservoir
■ Aquifer performance properties show a higher transmissivity in west area but still significantly lower than typical EAA conditions

Task 3 – Hydrogeology Directly West of L-8 Reservoir May Be Favorable for Storing Water
■ Overall, west area likely to have favorablehydrogeologic characteristics: ● Isolate stored water within the reservoir ● Allow for very little seepage from outside the
reservoir ■ Final design of any new feature to the west of the
L-8 Reservoir will require: ● Further data collection● Site and performance analysis● Study anticipates adding a slurry wall ($15M)

Task 4 – Project Costs
■ Total cost of water produced and delivered, either through LWDD or the EAA, cannot be done cost-effectively by Palm Beach County alone. Capital cost ($/gallon) for potable water produced would exceed $9.00 per gallon in both cases.
■ Virtually all study area utilities included, reducing per gallon cost to <$3.75 per gallon.
■ More attractive than development of new, low-pressure brackish reverse osmosis systems ($5.00 - $6.50 per gallon) that might be considered in the future, at today’s dollars.
