reducing the quantity of freshwater discharged into it on a daily basis. Another benefit is the creation of very high quality <br /> wetlands and associated wildlife habitat, and permanent preservation of endangered gopher tortoise habit. The County will <br /> investigate the potential for aquifer recharge since the treatment facility lies on the one-mile sand ridge, a <br /> prime aquifer <br /> recharge area. This project will also produce a usable byproduct in the form of high quality compost, <br /> fiber products, <br /> livestock feed, or methane gas . <br /> This project has several educational components . It will provide a place for school children to observe firsthand an <br /> efficient pollution reduction system that utilizes natural process to achieve pollutant removals. The project <br /> will also <br /> demonstrate that such a facility can produce a useful and valuable byproduct = the harvested algal biomass . The facility will <br /> also highlight the fact that high quality, valuable wetlands can be constructed and easily maintained if they are provided with <br /> a clean water source. The County ' s stormwater educator will showcase the facility as a correct way to use natural processes <br /> and systems to remove pollution from the Indian River Lagoon. <br /> Figure 1 — Simplified Flow Schematic <br /> mg#L <br /> . 3 � <'.-� x,['�:, s� #E�°`. ,.§�" e' ` h z �� .a b, F,c'fr r'�£-`� „'a�, _ #'p.•.,K `��` � <br /> c. .�` <br /> nnnnnnn <br /> �Kt MW <br /> 1 . <br /> P 0V <br /> S ro <br /> h I.TM' vE }i <br /> sem' Q f a 9 <br /> p yti <br /> fW <br /> 4A <br /> Harvested d <br /> . ds <br /> �. <br /> ° <br /> ° <br /> ° <br /> ° <br /> ° <br /> ° <br /> °LL <br /> b <br /> LLL <br /> A' Ox <br /> JK toh <br /> DEP Agreement No. G0353 , Attachment A, Page 3 of 12 <br />
