The Department finds the Amendment not"in compliance",as defined in Section 163.3184(1)(b)> Florri'da Statutes,because it is not consistent with Chapter 163,Fart U,Florida Statutes,Florida Administrative Code("F.A,C,")Rule 9J 5,and the State Comprehensive Flan,Chapter 187, Florida Statutes,for the following reasons: I. CHANGES RE ED TC7 THE 10-YEAR WA-TER-&UPPLY FACILITIES WORK L A. Inconsistent 2rovissons: The City of Dania Beach 09-RWSP1 adopted amendment consists of revisions to the City's Comprehensive Man incorporating the I 0-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan "Water Supply Plan' The Ci 's Water( pp Y ')• ty Supply Plan is incorporated into the Sanitary Sewer,Solid Waste,Drainage,Potable Water,Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City has not EXHIBIT Jul 9 M 11:08 07/09/2009 10:51 8509222679 ICA LEGAL PAGE 06/12 adequately demonstrated that the City"s future potable water supply needs can be met as a result of the following insufficient supporting data and analysis and inadequate policies: l• The City's projections of population for the City's water supply service area are provided in Table 5 (page 3 l)and Table 6(page 37)of the Water Supply Plan. The City has not explained how these population projections were determined. Furthermore,these population projections are lower than the population projections for the water supply service area submitted by the City to the South Florida Water Management District in its application to rencw its consumptive use permit Because the population projections for the City's water supply service area may be too low,the City's projections for water demand may also be too low. As a result,the City's water supply resources may be inadequate to meet the future water supply demand within the City's water supply service aJt'ea. 2. Evert if the population projections in Tables 5 and 6 are correct,the City has not explained how the water supply demand projections were determined and the City's projections for water supply demand included in Table 5 may be too low. For example,the City states on page 25 of the Water Supply Plan,that water supply demand in 2004-2006 was 2.7 mgd,but current demand is 2.1 mgd. The lower water demand is due to water use restrictions unposed by the South Florida Water Management District and may not be representative of current water supply demands once the water use restrictions are removed. As a result, Table 5,on page 31 of the City's Water Supply Ptah,appears to under estimate 2 Jul 9 2009 11:08 07/09/2009 10:51 8509222679 DCA LEGAL PAGE 07/12 projected water supply demand. For example,Table 5 states that water demand through 2010 will be 2.4 mgd. This demand is less than the demand for the period 2004-2006. The Water Supply Plan does not explain how the reduction in water use will be achieved. 3. The City has not demonstrated that it will have adequate water supply resources to meet projected demand. For example,Table 5,of the City's Water Supply Plan,indicates that the City$available water supply will increase from 1.8 mgd to 2.0 mgd by 2416. This increase in waxer supply will be provided ihrough an "attempt to skim additional water from its coastal wellfield to regain lost capacity(0.2 MGD)which will solve the water supply issues through 2019.ts' if the water skimming project is not feasible,the current water supply of2.9 mgd will only be sufficient until 2017;two yeah short of the required Minimum Planning period. The City has not identified a reliable alternative water supply program to implement if the water skinwiing project is not feasible. In addition,the City's new 2.0 mgd nanol11ltration water treatment plant is expected to be online by 2010. The City's Water Supply Plan does not address water supply loss that will occur through this water treatment process or demonstrated that an adequate finished water supply will be available to meet projected demand. 3 Jul 9 2W9 11:08 07/09/2009 10:51 8509222679 DCA LEGAL PAGE 08/12 Furthermore,by the year 2025 and through.2028(the long term planning time frame established in the Water Supply plan),the City expects to have an available water supply of 3.0 mgd. To meet this demand,the City states that it will need"to consider acquisition of water from Hollywood,or participate in a Yet-to-be identified regional solution"(Water Supply Plan,page 30). Other alternative water supply options include investigating additional well locations in the City and participating with the County in"efforts to recharge the Coup ty wellfield on a utilization basis."(Water Supply Plan,page 32) The Water Supply Plan does not identify the specific alternative water supply project or Projects the City will implement to ensure a sufficient source of water to meet projected demands. 4. Policies 4.1,4.2,4.3,and 4.5 in the Potable Water Sub-element,Polioics 5.1 5.2,and 5.5 in the Intergovenunental Coordination Element,and Policies 7.1, 7.2,and 7.3 in the Conservation Element require the City to"[0rivestigate additional well locations in the City's current wellfield",to"Marticipate with the County o[n]efforts to recharge the County wellfield on a utilization basis'". and to continue the evaluation process to determine the feasibility of implementing the water skimming project. These policies do not include specific programs and activities to be undertaken by the City to implement alternative water supply Projects to ensure their implementation in time to meet future water supply needs. 4 Jul 9 20N 11:08 07/09/2009 10:51 0509222679 DCA LEGAL PAGE 09/12 Therefore,the Amendment is inconsistent with Section 163.3167(13),Florida Statute, F.S.,which states, in part,that local governments shall address in its comprehensive plan the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the existing and projected water use demand for the established planning perm. The Amendment is also inconsistent with Section 163.3177(6)(c),F.S.which states that elements within the comprehensive plan must identify alternative water supply projects and traditional water supply pirojects and conservation and reuse necessary to meet the water needs%ithin the local government's jurisdiction and include a work plan,covering at Icast a 10 year planning period,for building public,private,and regional water supply facilities,including development of alternative-water supplies,which are identified in the elements as necessary to serve existing and new development.

B. Recommended remedial actions• The Department recommends the following remedial actions: 1. Revise the City's projections ofpopulation for the City's water supply service area based upon a professionally accepted mid applied methodology. 2. Based upon the revised projections of population within the City's grater service area,revise the projections of water supply demand through the year 2028 using a professionally accepted and applied methodology. 5 Jul 9 2009 11:09 07/09/2009 10:51 8509222679 DCA LEGAL PAGE 10/12 3. Revise the data and analysis to explain how the City will meet projected water demand and identify the alternative water supply sources that will be used to mect the projected demand,accouming for expected water losses that will result from the nanofiltration treatment process. 4. Revise Policies 4.1,4.2,4.30 and 4.5 in the Potable Water Sub-element,Policies 5.1,5.2,and 5.5 in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element,and Policies 7.1,7.2,and 7.3 in the Conservation Element to include the specific programs and activities to be undertaken by the City to implement the alternative water supply projects that will be used by the City to meet future water supply needs. Include any water supply projects that will be implemented by the City in the next five years in the City's Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. II. CONSISTENCY W1RJ THE TA COMP HENS E PLAN A.

While this solution may be tantamount to a surface system with regard to treatment, but the extensive loss of water to tide would be only partially curtained as a result of the proposed horizontal well project. A protocol for development for this type of supply will result from ongoing modeling and investigations funded in 2008-2011. Pursue by 2015 if found to be viable.

The City OCTOBER 15,2010 4 changes out a number of older meters each year, depending ion the age(prior change outs were not recorded). 2. Conservation Element The following revisions will be made to the policies associated with Objective VII: Policy 7.1 The City will utilize its existing agreement with Broward County to provide traditional water sources that will be required within the 10 year planning horizon. Policy 7.4-2 Investigate additional well locations in the City's current wellfield. This will require drilling of test wells, additional monitoring wells (completed 2007)and modeling of proposed locations to determine if additional raw water is available in Dania Beach. Policy 7.3 Investigate Ranney well. 'The City shall continue the process to evaluate the ability of horizontal wells to skim water off of the sands above the Biscayne aquifer, while creating minimal drawdown that will prevent saltwater intrusion and upconing, and shallow enough that the Bisca a aquifer/Everglades is not affected. While this solution may be tantamount to a surface system with regard to treatment, but the extensive loss of water to tide would be only partially curtained as a result of the proposed horizontal well project. A protocol for development for this type of suvply will result from ongoing modeling and investigations funded in 2008-2011. Pursue by 2015 if found to be viable. Policy 724 Participate with the County ofn efforts to recharge the County wellfield on a utilization basis. This may include additional wells, storm water recharge or reuse recharge. Policy 7.5 By 2012,develop a preliminary model of the Ranney collector/ horizontal well and by 2015 test well for production to identify a water source and infrastructure to meet water demands beyond 2030.
