Subtask 2. 1 — Existing Effluent Transmission and Disposal System. Review reports, maps, hydraulic models, design documents, permits and permit applications, operating data and other available information related to the location, type and capacity of pumping facilities, pipelines and disposal sites comprising the County ' s existing effluent transmission and disposal system . Meet with County staff and golf course managers to document the wet weather storage capacity available at each disposal site, the quantity of irrigation water used, and the terms of the agreements between the County and the golf courses for delivery of treated effluent. Review operating data available from Indian River County regarding the quantity of treated effluent disposed of at each disposal site over the past five years . Subtask 2 . 2 — Land Use Projections and Planned Future Developments . Compile and review future land use and zoning information available from the Indian River County Planning Department to identify those areas where either a low pressure or pressurized reclaimed water transmission and distribution system would most likely be successful initially. Identify the location of residential and commercial developments already in the planning process that could be potential initial customers for a low pressure, pressurized and/or hybrid reclaimed water transmission and distribution system . Subtask 2 .3 — Population and Wastewater Flow Projections. Review and confirm the population and wastewater flow projections contained in the most recent update of the County ' s Wastewater Treatment and Effluent Disposal Master Plan. If necessary, revise those projections to reflect current planning data available from the County. Subtask 2 .4 — Existing Institutional and Regulatory Environment. Review the provisions of the County' s existing Comprehensive Plan, ordinances , and land development regulations (LDRs) to define policies and procedures that affect the County' s ability to distribute reclaimed water throughout its Urban Service Area. A review of the permitting requirements will be conducted, particularly as it relates to obtaining a General Permit for expanding the reclaimed water system, and how this type of permit can be coordinated with the County' s Comprehensive Plan. Finally, identify regulatory mandates that must be appropriately addressed in the planning phase to gain project approval and eligibility for financial assistance. Subtask 2.5 — Utility Finances and Rates. Review the financial position of the County' s water and wastewater utility system and its current rate structure. Meet with County staff and the County' s financial advisor, if so directed, to identify potential options available for funding of reclaimed water system improvements . Task 3 — Reclaimed Water Needs Assessment Using data compiled in Task 2, make an assessment of the reclaimed water needs of Indian River County to satisfy future customer demand for water and wastewater service in the Urban Service Area. The needs assessment will be made by comparing existing consumptive use permits and existing effluent disposal capacity with future projections of water supply demand and wastewater flow rates .
