Although under present conditions no pumping is to be done with intake bay water level below elevation. ft., NGVD, the pumps are designed for satisfactory operation with a drawdown to elevation nine and one-half feet to allow for eventual canal subsidence. No pumping should be conducted with the water surface in the intake bay below a gage reading of. ft., NGVD, because under this extreme suction lift condition, pitting of the propellers is likely to occur. If, during a pumping operation, the water surface is drawn down below. ft., NGVD, on the intake bay gage, the speed of all pumps then operating should be reduced to not less than 0 rpm. If this does not restore the water surface in the intake pool to elevation. ft., NGVD, one or more of the pumping units should be shut down until the minimum pool elevation is re-established. The pumps are designed to pump drainage water containing a negligible amount of sediment or other material which might damage the surface of the pump or the bearings. All pump bearings are designed for grease lubrication and to exclude dirt and grit. However, the quantity of water being pumped by the station should be reduced at any time the water in the suction bay becomes moderately silted or if it appears that the approach velocities are carrying a bottom load of sand or silt into the sump chambers. The operation chart for this pump station follows the hydraulic design data table. Note 1: Due to water quality concerns in Lake Okeechobee, at present this pump station is operated according to the EAA IAP.

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 S- PUMP STATION Location. S- is located in the Herbert Hoover Dike, Levee D, on the south shore of Lake Okeechobee, at the intersection of Miami Canal with Lake Okeechobee, in the western section of Palm Beach County just north of the town of Lake Harbor, Florida. Purpose. The purpose of S- is to pump surplus water into Lake Okeechobee via the Miami Canal from the Agricultural Area south of the pump station at the rate of three-quarter inch per day from the 1 square mile tributary drainage area east and west of the north portion of the Miami Canal, designated as L-. Description. The structure consists of three Fairbanks and Morse vertical propeller axial flow pumps with a pumping capacity of 0 cfs each, a total of,0 cfs, at a rated speed of 1 rpm. The pump station is constructed of reinforcing concrete and concrete block masonry superstructure. Operation. According to the EAA IAP, the pump station will be operated whenever the water surface elevation in the Miami Canal within the Agricultural Area south of the pump station exceeds 1.0 ft., NGVD, unless the water level in Lake Okeechobee is low enough to permit gravity discharge into the lake through S- at a desirable rate. At this speed the pumps will pump 0 cfs or greater with pool to pool heads not in excess of. feet and an intake pool stage between 1.0 and. ft., NGVD. The water surface should not be drawn down below elevation.0 ft., NGVD. The pump station has a design capacity of,0 cfs, equivalent to a removal rate of three quarters of an inch of runoff per day from the drainage area served, under a design head of. feet pool to pool and intake pool stage between 1.0 and. ft., NGVD. The pumping machinery is designed to permit operation at rated conditions of head and capacity with intake water surface down to elevation. ft., NGVD. The pumps are designed to pump drainage water containing a negligible amount of sediment or other material which might damage the surface of the pump or the bearings. All pump bearings are designed for grease lubrication and to exclude dirt and grit. However, the quantity of water being pumped by the station should be reduced at any time the water in the suction bay becomes moderately silted or if it appears that the approach velocities are carrying a bottom load of sand or silt into the sump chambers. The pumping units are free from harmful criticals throughout the range of operating speeds from 0 to 1 rpm inclusive. However, there exists a severe critical at 0 rpm. The unit should therefore be brought up to 00 rpm immediately on starting and no operation should be attempted at speeds below 00 rpm. The pumps should be started and stopped slowly, one pump at a time, so that high velocities and surges will not occur in the Miami Canal. Lake Okeechobee & EAA Vol A-S-1 December 00

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 S- PUMP STATION Location. S- is located in the Herbert Hoover Dike on the southwest shore of Lake Okeechobee approximately three miles along Levee D1 in a northwesterly direction from Clewiston, Florida. Purpose. The purpose of S- is to pump surplus water into Lake Okeechobee via the L-D1 borrow canal, C-0 and C-1 from the Agricultural Area south of the pump station. S- serves square miles of drainage area including 1. square miles of agricultural area and. square miles of urban area. The pump station will be operated as necessary to maintain the water level between elevations. and 1. ft., NGVD in the intake canals. The surplus consists of seepage through the Herbert Hoover Dike and runoff at the rate of three quarters of an inch per day from the square mile tributary drainage area, and at a rate of two and one-half inches per day from the. square mile urban drainage area of the city of Clewiston. Description. The station consists of three Fairbanks Morse 1 inch diameter vertical propeller axial flow pumps with a pumping capacity of cfs each, a total of,0 cfs, at a rated speed of rpm. Operation. The pump station will be operated as necessary to maintain the water level between elevations. and 1. ft., NGVD in the intake canals. At rpm the pumps will pump cfs with a pool to pool head of seven feet and an intake pool stage not lower than. ft., NGVD. The pumping units are free from harmful criticals through the speed range zero to rpm. However, there exists a minor critical at 11 rpm and extended operation at this speed is to be avoided, except as necessary in the starting and slowing down phases. The pumps should be started and stopped slowly, one pump at a time, in order to avoid high velocities and surges in the approach canal. The water surfaces should not be drawn down below elevation. ft., NGVD, at the pump intake in order to prevent pitting of the propellers. If, during a pumping operation, the water surface on the intake bay falls below. ft., NGVD, the speed of all pumps then operating should be reduced to not less than the minimum speed shown on the operation chart. If this does not restore the water surface in the intake pool to. ft., NGVD, one or more of the pumping units should be shut down until the minimum pool elevation is reestablished. The pump station has a minimum total capacity of,0 cfs, equivalent to a removal rate of three quarters of an inch of runoff per day from the agricultural area and four inches per day from the urban area, plus seepage from the ten-year flood stage of 1. ft., NGVD, on Lake Okeechobee. This capacity is achieved at an average pool to pool head up to and including seven feet; it will also deliver a reduced capacity at higher pool to pool head up to and including 1.0 feet. At heads exceeding seven feet and operating at rpm, the pump capacity decreases to a minimum of 0 cfs at the maximum pool to pool head of 1.0 feet. No operation should be attempted at heads in excess of 1.0 feet nor should Lake Okeechobee & EAA Vol A-S-1 December 00
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 engine speeds be increased above rpm. During extended periods of operation, speed may be decreased in order to improve operating efficiency and fuel economy, although such operation will simultaneously result in a slight decrease in capacity. The station optimum headwater elevations are 1.0 ft., NGVD, during the wet season and 1.0 ft., NGVD during the dry season. Normal drawdown is. ft., NGVD, during pumping. The pumping machinery is designed to pump drainage water containing a negligible amount of sediment or other material which might damage the surface of the pump or the bearings. All pump bearings are designed for grease lubrication and to exclude dirt and grit. However, the quantity of water being pumped by the station should be reduced at any time the water in the suction bay becomes moderately silted or if it appears that the approach velocities are carrying a bottom load of sand into the sump chambers. The backflow control gates serve two primary functions: (1) To permit priming of the pumps and starting of the engines without danger of reverse rotation and without regard to relative pool stages, and () to prevent backflow through the pumps during periods when abnormally high discharge pool elevations exceed the pump invert elevation of. ft., NGVD. The pump station is constructed of reinforcing concrete and concrete block masonry superstructure. The operation chart for this pump station follows the hydraulic design data table.

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 S-A(W) STRUCTURE A(W) Location. S-A(W) is located in the West Palm Beach Canal (C-1) west of L-0 and the L- canal. Purpose. The structure functions with S-AE, S-AS, and S-A to control irrigation releases along the West Palm Beach Canal east of Levee 0 during periods of flow deficiency and to pass flood runoff from the L- Canal and C-1 into Water Conservation Area (WCA) No. 1 via S-A pump station. Description. The structure is a twin barrel x-foot box type, reinforced concrete culvert. The gates of the structure are located on the east end of the culverts, since during pumping conditions the West Palm Beach Canal to the west is drawn down to. ft., NGVD developing a maximum head on the culvert equivalent to the pool to pool head of the pump station. The structure is designed to pass a maximum of 00 cfs at such times as necessary but not including times when pumping is being conducted at Pump Station No. A. Operation. The gates on the structure are normally closed; however, during times when it is necessary to pass water into the West Palm Beach Canal the gates of S-A(W) and S-A(E) are opened and under favorable head conditions, approximately 00 cfs can be passed through the culverts. The gates shall always be closed when a flood condition exists in the L-, L-1 basin. This condition shall be recognized as existing whenever pump station S-A is not able to lower the stage at Canal Point below 1. feet. The gates may be opened and the excess flows pumped at S-A in the absence of the above condition whenever a flood condition exists in L-, or in the east end of C-1. A potential flood condition exists in the L- basin whenever the stage at Sand Cut exceeds 1.0 feet and in the east end of the C-1 stage whenever the tailwater at S-AE exceeds 1.0 feet. The use of the gate is also determined by other factors, such as environmental concerns, and water level in WCA No.1. It will be considered case by case. When flood conditions do not exist the gates will be operated subject to water availability to meet water use requirements in C-1 east of WCA No. 1 and in the L- basin.

This structure functions with S-AW, S-AS, and S-A to control irrigation releases along the West Palm Beach Canal east of Levee 0 during periods of flow deficiency and to pass flood runoff from the L- Canal and C-1 into WCA No. 1 via S-A pump station. Description. The structure is a twin barrel x-foot box type, reinforced concrete culvert. The structure is identical to S-A(W) except that the gates are located on the west end where the maximum head occurs. The structure is designed to pass a maximum of 00 cfs of water under favorable head conditions. Operation. The maximum head on the structure when it is operated is. ft., NGVD, a condition obtained during pumping at S-A with S-A(S) open raising the pool level of WCA No.1 and L- Canal to 1. ft., NGVD, on the west side of the structure and with normal water level of 1.0 ft., NGVD, on the east end of the structure. During flood conditions, the gates will be closed whenever releases would aggravate flood conditions downstream. The gates will be opened whenever damage stages will not be exceeded below the structure and excess water in West Palm Beach Canal, Levee Canal, or WCA No. 1 is increasing flood potential in the Agricultural Area southeast of the lake. When flood conditions do not exist, releases will be made as necessary to meet the agricultural needs of the area. Lake Okeechobee & EAA Vol A-SA(E)-1 December 00

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 S- STRUCTURE Location. S- is located in the L- borrow canal about 00 feet west of the north tie-back levee, approximately two miles east of Lake Okeechobee. Purpose. The structure prevents runoff from the area east of Levee from overtopping levees in the developed area between the structure and Lake Okeechobee. The structure also makes discharges from the Lake during dry periods through LD- at culvert A. Description. The structure consists of a spillway section with three 1-foot by.-foot roller-bearing gates and lift stands, a breastwall immediately over a sloped weir, gate piers, and retaining walls. A stilling basin with end sill and riprap is provided westward for high velocity discharge to the lake with riprap provided eastward for low velocity flows. Flood discharge of S- is dependent on the capacity of the L- borrow canal between S- and the lake. The capacity under normal head conditions is about 1,000 cfs. Operation. Normally the structure is controlled to meet agricultural requirements as water is available. Gates are full open during this time. During flood conditions, the gates remain open until the water approaches damage stage west of the structure, 1. feet at US 1 or 1.0 feet at the structure. The gates are then operated to allow maximum releases without exceeding damage stages. Lake Okeechobee & EAA Vol A-S-1 December 00
