' 10.2.2 AIR <br />' <br />Minimum velocities in the sewers, coupled with the high ambient temperature <br />inherent to Florida provide conditions that are conducive to the production <br />' <br />of malodorous hydrogen sulfide and other gases. These gases are produced <br />by anaerobic bacteria which are present in septic sewage. <br />' <br />This factor was considered in the preliminary sewer layout. Generally, the <br />shortest, most direct route from the house lateral to the force main was <br />' <br />chosen in order to minimize the travel time and, therefore, the septicity <br />of the wastewater. <br />10.2.3 LAND USE <br />' <br />As discussed in Sections 4 and 5, the Comprehensive Plan and the Area -Wide <br />' <br />Wastewater Master Plan were the bases used in establishing the requirements <br />of this project. The Comprehensive Plan was prepared by The Planning and <br />Development Division of Indian River County. The Comprehensive Plan guides <br />' <br />future growth and development in accordance with the County's goals and <br />objectives. <br />The unsewered areas are fully developed, which was substantiated by the <br />' <br />aerial photographs in this Report. Therefore, new sewers cannot promote <br />new growth in the area; they will serve to raise the quality of groundwater <br />' <br />and surface water in the area. <br />The proposed facilities will not impose any restrictions on land use. The <br />' <br />proposed alignments of the recommended sewers and force mains lie within <br />public rights-of-way or existing easements where land use had previously <br />' <br />been restricted. Since the service area is developed, this project will <br />not stimulate substantial growth. Enforcement of the County's land use and <br />' <br />zoning laws should ensure that any future growth will conform to the <br />desired land uses outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. <br />' <br />IRC.FL1 <br />6/4/87 <br />10-2 <br />
