Brighton Reservation Monitoring
Abstract: The primary purpose of Project BRM is to address the mandates specified above, particularly the agreement the SFWMD has with the tribes to address water quality issues. The Brighton Seminole Reservation has its own internal water quality-monitoring program. Project BRM was instituted because the Reservation began detecting spikes in the water coming off their land and it did not appear to be from any internal practices. Therefore, one goal of the project is to determine the source (s) of total phosphorous measured by the Tribe at monitoring stations in the primary and secondary canals of the Brighton Seminole Indian Reservation. Another goal for this project involves investigating potential water quality changes within the reservation boundaries, in response to the integration of water supplies from Lake Okeechobee. Specific objectives include assessing the quality and quantity of water delivered to the reservation from Lake Okeechobee via pump stations G207 & G208, assessing the quality and quantity of water delivered to the reservation via the C-40 and C-41 canals, and assessing water sources entering and leaving the reservation.; Project Start Date: 05/23/2002
