District Supervisor Daisy Morales and USDA Federal Official Tours Agriculture Sites in Orange County
Tuesday, April 14, 2015, Orange Soil & Water Conservation District Supervisor Daisy Morales and USDA-NRCS District Conservationist Chuck O’Rourke visited MID Florida Citrus Foundation / Water Conserv II in Winter Garden and Agri Starts Nursery in Apopka as part of Supervisor Morales’ Earth Awareness Month Tour. April 22 is national Earth Day.
Supervisor Morales look forward to working with the United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS), state and local officials to discuss ways in which all levels of government can work collaboratively to find real solutions to the problems facing Orange County natural resources.
USDA-NRCS offers voluntary programs to eligible landowners and agricultural producers that provide financial and technical assistance to help manage natural resources sustainably. Through these programs the agency approves contracts that provide financial assistance to plan and implement conservation practices that address natural resource concerns or help save energy, improve soil, water, plant, air, animal and related resources on agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest land.
Land and water tours are a great way to learn about agricultural production systems, issues, challenges and opportunities on open space lands, expressed Soil & Water Conservation District Supervisor Daisy Morales, who represents the citizens of Orange County.
WATER CONSERV II Winter Garden, Florida
Faced with a need to expand wastewater treatment service and a state requirement to eliminate discharge to surface waters, the City of Orlando and Orange County formed a long-term partnership to develop an innovative water reclamation program. Following a lengthy and detailed review of potential projects, a combination of the two most promising was chosen and Water Conserv II was born. The project is best described as “A Cooperative Water Reuse Project by the City of Orlando, Orange County and the Agricultural Community”.
Water Conserv II is the largest reuse project of its kind in the world, combining agricultural irrigation with aquifer recharge via rapid infiltration basins (RIBs). The primary focus is agricultural irrigation. The RIBs are used for recharge of Florida’s primary drinking water source, the Floridan aquifer, with daily flows that are not needed for irrigation and excess flows during wet weather periods. Water Conserv II is also the first reuse project in Florida permitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to irrigate crops produced for human consumption with reclaimed water. The project’s reclaimed water meets FDEP’s public access reuse standards and is permitted for use on all public access sites including residences and golf courses, food crops, foliage and landscape nurseries, tree farms, pasture land, the production of soil cement, and can also be used for fire protection.
