(ISOP) Interim Structural and Operational Plan 2001& (IOP)Interim Operating Plan for 2002 – 2003
Western Habitat Water level of 6.0 feet or less at NP 205 for 60 consecutive days between 1 March and 15 July Avoid adverse impacts to other natural areas and species in system Eastern Habitat Pass 30% of regulatory releases from WCA3A to east of L-67 ext measured weekly Implement Test 7 P 2 or equivalent for SDCS by 1 March Limit S-332 & 332D discharges to 165 cfs ISOP was needed to met the US Fish & Wildlife Service Biological Opinion Requirements
What was ISOP 2000? • Temporary Deviation to WCA-2A • Temporary Deviation to WCA-3A
What was ISOP 2000? • Changes in the operation of structures in WCA-3A, and WCA-3B • Maximized the outflow to coastal canals from the Water Conservation Areas • S-12 A-D:Minimized • S-343 A & B and S-344:Minimized • S-333:Maximized when downstream conditions permitted • S-151, S-31, S-337, S-335, S-334, L-31N, L-31W operations:Modified
What was ISOP 2000? • Canal stages in L-31N were Lower • Operation of S-332D, no upper limit on stages in L-31W • S-332 and S-175 were not operated • Construction and Operation of S-332B pump station to move water from L-31N west to a detention area
S-332B Concept • Temporary 575 cfs Pump Station and detention area. • Constructed within footprint of C-111 permanent pump station and detention area for land credit. • Detention area re-hydrates eastern areas. • Completed 13 April began pumping 17 April.
ISOP 2001 vs. ISOP 2000 • No deviation to the WCA-2A reg. schedule • Revised deviation to the WCA-3A reg. Schedule which allows for S-12D ops all year. • Changes in pumping rate for certain months at S-332B and S-332D • Overflow may occur more often at S-332B detention area to meet requirements for the sparrow - No Additional Detention Area
ISOP 2001 = IOP Phase 1 • IOP Phase 2 = When the 8.5 SMA project is completed, then S-333 will not be cutback when water levels at G-3273 exceed 6.8 ft-NGVD.
NWS Climate Prediction Center • Updating the late winter to early spring (February through April) Seasonal Outlook, forecasters at the NWS Climate Prediction Center are predicting warmer than normal temperatures along the southern tier states • There is a higher than normal chance of less than normal precipitation expected in Florida.
