Lake Tohopekaliga Pollutant Modeling Study for Kissimmee, Florida
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns
Abstract
Over the years, there have been a number of hydraulic and hydrologic studies of the Mill Slough and East City Ditch drainage basins of Lake Tohopekaliga (Lake Toho) for the City of Kissimmee (City), Florida. These studies were highly detailed analyses performed to address a number of flooding and water quality issues within these basins. Specific recommendations for projects were made in these reports for improvements in the watersheds to alleviate identified problems. With the growing certainty of TMDLs being set by DEP, the City engaged Berryman & Henigar (BHI) to undertake a stormwater pollutant loading study, not a hydrologic or hydraulic analysis, to identify projects which could improve water quality discharges in the Mill Sough and East City Ditch basins. This report summarizes the findings of the pollutant modeling and investigates alternative BMPs in the Mill Slough and East City Ditch watersheds.
