City Of Tampa Surface Water Monitoring Plan Of Hillsborough Bay, City Of Tampa Department Of Sanitary Sewers

Reports

This plan of study will outline all aspects of our proposed monitoring program to satisfy requirements set forth in specific condition #6 of construction permit DC29-152799 issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation.

Recent Improvements Of Water Quality And Biological Indicators In Hillsborough Bay, The Northeastern Section Of Tampa Bay, Florida, J.O. R. Johansson

Reports

The City of Tampa was implicated as a major point source polluter of Hillsborough Bay based on its release since 1951 of primary treated wastewater effluent into the bay. To alleviate nutrient loads into Hillsborough Bay, the City of Tampa upgraded its Hooker's Point facility to advanced wastewater treatment (AWT) with a 60 MGD capacity. The transformation from primary treatment to advanced was successive.

The State Of Tampa Bay- 1988, Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (Tbrpc), Agency On Bay Management

Reports

Council's Agency on Bay Management has continued to lead and support major Bay related activities through legislation, development review, intergovernmental coordination, impact assessment and public education in 1988. Management and research efforts expand for the Bay as awareness grows of its significance. The State of the Bay - 1988 document represents the compilation of regional activities and these expanding effort to promote the Tampa Bay estuary.

Press Release, City Of Tampa Bay Department Of Sanitary Sewers

Reports

The City of Tampa Sanitary Sewers, Bay Study Group, is pleased to announce the completion of the study "Recent Geologic History of Mud-Dominated Sediments in Hillsborough Bay, Florida. Phase I." A copy of the results of this study is enclosed for your reference. The study was a cooperative effort between the Bay Study Group and the University of South Florida, Center for Nearshore Marine Science.

Recent Geologic History Of Mud-Dominated Sediments In Hillsborough Bay, Florida - Phase I Report, Gregg R. Brooks, Larry J. Doyle

Reports

The primary objective of this project, one phase of a potentially larger investigation on sediments of Hillsborough Bay, was to determine vertical distribution patterns of mud-dominated sediments. Vertical distribution patterns represent the recent geologic history of the study area. For this project the term 'recent geologic history' refers to the past several thousand years, or the period since being flooded by the Holocene rise of sea level.

Surface Sediments And Their Relationship To Water Quality In Hillsborough Bay, A Highly Impacted Subdivision Of Tampa Bay, Florida, J.O.R. Johansson, A.P. Squires

Reports

This paper will summarize the composition of surface sediment and sediment oxygen demand rated in Hillsborough Bay. Also, a first attempt is made to relate the nutrients released from these sediments to the phytoplankton, the dominant primary producers of the bay.

A Characterization Of Tampa Bay Sediments, L J. Doyle, G. R. Brooks, K. A. Fanning, E. S. Van Vleet, R. H. Byrne, N. J. Blake

Reports

This initial phase of the project involves assessing the present state of knowledge of sediments in Tampa Bay and the identification of data gaps, or areas where more detailed information is required to achieve project objectives. The literature search produced 273 data sources that from their abstracts in the data base are applicable to the project (Appendix I). Data sources were reviewed by experts in the fields of sedimentology, nutrient chemistry, organic geochemistry, trace metal and radionuclide geochemistry, and benthic biology who then contributed the following summary sections.

Ascidian Investigations In Hillsborough Bay, City Of Tampa Bay Study Group

Reports

The City of Tampa Bay Study Group has noticed high numbers of an anural solitary mogulid tunicate, of an unknown ascidian species, dominating some bottom communities of Hillsborough Bay during the winter. Ascidian concentrations have been found in excess of 4000/me , and lengths have ranged from O.25mm to 20mm for larvae and adults, respectively. Coincident with these high ascidian concentrations, excellent water clarity has been observed, where the bay bottom is visible through water of 2 to 3m depths. Ascidians can filter large volumes of seawater as part of their food gathering process. Although not found in Hillsborough Bay, …

The Bay Study Group was created by the City of Tampa in 1976 to monitor the effects of pollution abatement that occurred in Hillsborough Bay when the city’s wastewater treatment plant was upgraded from primary to advanced treatment in 1979. The Bay Study Group documented a remarkable restoration of water quality parameters and biological indicators in Hillsborough Bay from the mid 1980s until 2009, when it was disbanded. This zip Geodatabase file contains the aerial photos for the year 1989.

Distribution Patterns And Accumulation Rates Of Fine-Grained Sediments In Upper Tampa Bay, Florida, Gregg R. Brooks

Reports

Tampa Bay, a drowned river valley, is the largest estuary on Florida's west coast.

Surface sediments consist of a mixture of carbonate and terrigenous clastic sands and muds.

The objectives of this study are to determine accumulation rates and processes controlling the distribution patterns of fine grain sediments.
