Subject Transmittal of Baseline Surface Water Quality Monitoring
Results for Three Discharge Outfalls, Quantum Park,
Boynton Beach, Florida (1003 01 03)
Dear Mr Annunziato
In accordance with Special Condition No 16 of the City of
Boynton Beach's Development Order for Quantum Park, Resource
Engineering and Planning, Inc (REP/Inc), on behalf of Quantum
Associates, is pleased to submit the results of baseline surface
water quality monitoring at three discharge outfalls at Quantum
Park These data are concurrently being submitted to the South
Florida Water Management District, the Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council, and the Florida Department of Environmental
Regulation for review Responsibility for review of on-going
surface water monitoring at the park is claimed by the South
Florida Water Management District in Special Condition No 16 of
the Development Order, with all further monitoring data submitted
to that agency
Surface water at Quantum Park is managed via three separate
retention basins Each basin is equipped with a control
structure to maintain pond levels in each basin The location of
the three basins and the control structure for each is shown on a
site plan of Quantum Park included as Attachment 1 As shown in
Attachment 1, Basins #1 and #2 discharge directly to the Lake
Worth Drainage District I s Equalizing Canal 4 (LWDD E-4) Basin
#3 discharges to the LWDD's Lateral Canal L-21
Surface water samples were collected at the outfall of each
retention basin on November 17, 1988 Samples were collected by
removing the iron traffic grate from the top of each control
structure and lowering a clean stainless steel bailer into the
flow through the control structure The sample from each outfall

was given a unique designation (Basin #1, OF-3i Basin #2, OF-2i
Basin #3, OF-1) and placed in appropriate containers and labeled
The three surface water samples, as well as a bailer equipment
blank, were submitted to Savannah Laboratories and Environmental
Services, Inc , for analysis, except as noted below Each of the
three surface water samples were analyzed for the following
compounds:

AssurancejQuality Control Plan (FDER Approval No 86216G)
2 - Florida Class III Surface Water Quality Standard presents no
numeric standard for aluminum in fresh waters Aluminum
standard in marine waters is 1 5 mgjl

The results show that all parameters are wi thin Florida
state Class III surface water standards in Basins #1 and #3
This baseline data does indicate that surface water from Basin #2
exceeds Class III surface water standards for turbidity and
aluminum and iron concentration The reason for elevated
turbidity and aluminum and iron concentrations from Basin #2 is
not known. Future monitoring will identify if this data is
indicative of on-going conditions for surface water in Basin #2,
or is the result of certain factors or activities present in
Basin #2 at the time of baseline sampling
Quantum Associates and REP/lnc appreciate the City of
Boynton Beach's review of this monitoring data Should you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us
Sincerely,
Matthew D. Knecht
