	Hillsborough River Proposal Raises Red Flags
		While Tampa Bay officials continue their search for new sources of water supply, scientists are carefully considering the effects of proposed projects.
		While overall nutrient loadings to Tampa Bay would remain unchanged, downstream augmentation would increase nutrient loadings in the lower Hillsborough River, proliferating the growth of algae and stressing marine life in summer months when temperatures rise and the water is stagnant.
		Hillsborough County scientists also questioned Janicki’s conclusions on the effects of low oxygen on various species, drawn from a Chesapeake Bay study that did not account for the combined impact of high temperatures and low DO.

	Congressman Jim Davis' - District Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Native tribes called the village by the bay "Tanpa," which meant "sticks of fire." On maps made by the early explorers, the spelling became "Tampa." The area has certainly come a long way since 1521, when the search for the fountain of youth began just south of Tampa Bay with Ponce de Leon.
		Meanwhile, in 1834 Hillsborough was organized as Florida's 19th county and was a sprawling area that included what is now Pinellas, Polk, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee and Highlands counties, but despite the size, its population only numbered 836.
		In 1914, due to increasing demands from local residents, a sea wall and brick-paved road was constructed along Hillsborough Bay in the Hyde Park area.

	Agency on Bay Management, Charting the Course for Tampa Bay’s Recovery
		In Hillsborough Bay, massive deposits of oyster shell were being stripped from the bay bottom to be brought ashore and sold for road fill.
		Bombarded by nutrients, the bay went into overdrive, producing dense mats of algae that sucked the oxygen of the estuary, causing massive fish kills and littering shorelines with weedy rot.
		The organic, malodorous ooze in Hillsborough Bay was so deep, according to witnesses, that you had to navigate six feet of “glop” before hitting bottom.

	Enhanced Surface Water System Studies
		In Hillsborough Bay, the cumulative impacts of the two surface water withdrawal projects on surface water salinities are negligible, typically one part per thousand (ppt) or less.
		In lower Hillsborough Bay, the predicted salinity increases for these months were 2 to 2.5 ppt; in McKay Bay they were 2 to 3 ppt; in the tidal portion of the Tampa Bypass Canal they were 3 to 4 ppt.
		Implementation of the Hillsborough River/Tampa Bypass Canal surface water withdrawal project alone would not significantly affect salinity, nor would there be significant impacts to living resources of interest in the tidal Hillsborough River and McKay Bay.

	Tampa Bay Seawater Desalination Environmental Protections
		Studies conducted through the plant's first year of operations during 2003 showed the salinity outside the discharge point was the same whether or not the desalination plant was operating.
		Although the plant’s discharge is roughly twice as salty as Tampa Bay, it does not increase the bay’s salinity because it is diluted in up to 1.4 billion gallons of cooling water per day from Tampa Electric’s Big Bend Power Station before being discharged back into the bay.
		Hillsborough County ’s own, independent study into the potential environmental impact of the desalination plant concluded that, “The marine ecology of the areas of major biological concern will not be affected by the desalination facility operations.”

	Hillsborough: Bay's origin: It's all sedimentary
		These are sediments and sedimentary rocks that have been folded and collapsed, creating structures that were quite different than the original horizontal position in which sediments are deposited.
		If we're looking at Tampa Bay and kind of comparing it to a bowl, would it be like the bowl is made of limestone but then there's portions of that bowl that have collapsed and there's little caverns sort of beneath where the bowl was?
		However, I was left as to where the 'Bay' was headed.
