Wirth mentioned that Habitat for Humanity is entering their annual fundraising season and may have to delay the Wharf Street Redevelopment fundraising efforts until January 2011. White mentioned that the Town of Bluffton plans to designate Habitat for Humanity as the project’s developer in an effort to help with the procurement process under NSP Guidelines. Wirth mentioned that if Habitat is designated as developer, the project’s program income will go back to Habitat to invest in more affordable housing and not back to the Federal Government.

MAY RIVER WATERSHED ACTION PLAN

1. May River Watershed Action Plan

The Town of Bluffton and Beaufort County have agreed to work together to develop a plan to improve conditions in the May River. The plan will address water quality issues throughout the watershed to be implemented in a phased approach. Setting out clearly defined and measurable goals and milestones are critical to this plan's successful implementation. This plan will also serve as a template for the Okatie and New Rivers.

Town of Bluffton and Beaufort County Staff developed a Scope of Services that will be utilized to address current and future May River water quality improvement initiatives. A Deliverables list has been created for each project within the Action Plan. More detailed information on current initiatives of the May River Watershed Action Plan is below. Town is exploring option of utilizing a consultant (private and/or non-profit and/or agency) to aid in the completion of document to provide 3rd party input and validation. Goal is to develop document by January 2011. Council has given authorization to pursue consultant and advocacy group team.

Town Aug-09 TBD Aug-10

2. May River - SCDHEC Section 319 Grant for Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Projects

Administer and implement a $483,500 stormwater quality retrofitting grant through the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs). The grant is incorporated into the May River Watershed Action Plan and extends for 3 years (July 2009 to July 2012).

Current Initiatives discussed below. The first annual site visit with SCDHEC officials was held June 29, 2010 and included project updates and site visits. An amendment request to alter the original work plans has been developed and will be submitted to SCDHEC for their consideration .

3. Section 319 - Unified Ordinance Overhaul

Overhaul of the Town's existing Unified Ordinance to allow for better watershed-level planning. Updates to include land use principles, zoning, thoroughfare standards, tree standards, stormwater standards, and development of a wetlands ordinance. Supported by $50,000 SCDHEC-OCRM Nonpoint Source Pollution grant and Town General Fund.

First Draft is prepared and undergoing review by Town of Bluffton Code Overhaul Team. Organization, Code Structure and Table of Contents was presented to Town of Bluffton Planning Commission on August 25, 2010. Specific components such as the watershed elements intended to address stormwater management, site design, impervious surfaces and other sustainability measures are integrated into zoning and land development regulations.

Town Jun-09 Dec-10 Aug-10

4. Section 319 - Pilot Project

Town is funding design work for approximately $545,000 worth of structural BMPs that will directly reduce fecal coliform loading to SCDHEC shellfish station 19-19 in the May River. Funding for construction is through the Section 319 Grant.

Thomas and Hutton Awarded contract at the end of April. Kick off meeting was held on May 6, 2010. Phase 1 (Preliminary Design) completed at the end of June. Phase 2 (Final Design) expected to be completed by the end of fall, with construction starting in January 2011. Strategy is being developed to address possible land owners and easement acquisition.

Town Dec-09 Jan-11 Aug-10

5. Section 319 - Community-Based Environmental Sustainability Awareness Campaign

One BMP detailed in the Section 319 Grant is to craft and launch a community-based social marketing campaign to promote adoption of practices and behaviors in targeted segments of the local population, including but not limited to pet owners, horse owners and septic system owners, which will reduce ambient sources of fecal coliform in the May River watershed.

The revised RFP is under internal review with an anticipated release of late August/early September 2010.

Town Dec-09 Jun-12 Aug-10

6. Section 319 - Rain Barrel/Rain Garden Retrofit Program

The Rain Barrel/Garden Program will provide greater Bluffton businesses and residents with free assistance (up to a $650 value) for rain barrel equipment and installation, as well as materials to plant a rain garden. This highly visibleproject is designed to reduce stormwater runoff and its impact to the May River, as well as demonstrate how individuals can reduce stormwater leaving thier property. Goal is to install 145 barrels & 45 gardens.

First rain garden installed at May River Montessori in May. Eighteen rain barrels were installed July 17, 2010. Another 17 barrels were installed on August 21, 2010. Rain garden installations will resume in October 2010. To date, 108 rain barrel and 45 rain garden applications have been received.

WATER QUALITY-VOLUME CONTROL STUDIES

21. Statistical Analysis by SCDNR

Analyze existing water quality sampling data to determine if statistically significant changes in water quality have occurred since the 2002 Baseline Study and to recommend future water quality monitoring needs. The analysiswill benefit both the Town and County with future water quality monitoring studies as it will identify gaps in the data to target with future sampling, thus being more cost-effective.

Coordinate with Palmetto Bluff and the USCB Water Quality Lab based upon the report's recommendations. Palmetto Bluff will utilize the USCB lab for sample collection and analyzation, thus achieving the similar protocol method DNR recommended. The Town is restructuring its sampling program to adopt the recommendations.

Town Feb-09 Feb-10 Aug-10

22. USCB Lab Weekly Bacteriological Testing by Town & Beaufort County

Oversee the analysis of water quality samples taken in the May River watershed. In addition to the Town's collection of ten fecal coliform samples per week in the May River watershed since February 2009, Beaufort County has collected weekly fecal coliform samples since June 2009 at an additional ten locations within the unincorporated sections of the watershed. Results are updated on the May River webpage each month.
