| Statewide Interest: |
| The Fl. Keys is an Area of Critical State Concern and an ecosystem of statewide and national significance, including mainland America's only living barrier coral reef and the largest documented semi-continuous sea grass bed on earth. It contains the nation's most visited national marine sanctuary and its boundaries encompass John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, Florida's most visited state park. All levels of government, businesses and community organizations are working to improve water quality in the Florida Keys, which has a favorable effect on our environment and economy. |

| Construction of wastewater treatment systems compliant with 2010 standards will continue into DEP FY08-09 for projects identified in the 11/07 Keys Wastewater Plan; funding to provide AWT to Ocean Reef, Key Largo, Long Key, Duck Key, North and Middle Lower Keys, and Lower Sugarloaf areas is still needed. A review of funding to begin construction of Duck Key collection system and WWTP upgrade is scheduled for 1/08. It is likely that the 08-09 appropriation will be used toward construction of Key Largo and Middle Lower Keys Wastewater Treatment Facilities. |
