J. AND MAINTAIN THE ROADS AND CLEAN UP THE RIGHTS-OF-WAY IN SEBASTIAN GROVE ESTATES AT A TIME CONVENIENT TO THE COUNTY, AND AFTER THE CLEANING UP IS DONETO NOTIFY ALL PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE CONDITION OF THEIR LOTS. THE AMINISTRATOR DISCUSSED WITH TRE BOARD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM THE CITY OF VERO BEACH IN REGARD TO THE PROPOSED DRAINAGE FOR BARBER AVENUE AND SUGGESTED THAT A COP*? OF THIS LETTER BE SENT TO THE DOT AND THAT HE DISCUSS THE PROBLEM WITH THEM SO THAT THEY CAN CONSfDER INCOR- PORATING SOMETHING TO ALLOW FOR THIS PROBLEM IN THE DESIGN. FOR THE DRAINAGE ON BARBER AVENUE. It has core to my attention that the proposed drainage for Barber 3AA.�1 a SCa L C1 u1c1111C6C diLeh. -.rnis proposal causes me some concern considering the magnitude of the possible damage that might occur in the City's well field as a result of salt water.intrusion. As you know, our well field lies directly west of the proposed construction and anything that would allow tidal salt water intrusion further west could have serious consequences. At present our Consulting Engineers and Ground Water Geologists are developing a program to extract 5 million gpd of additional water from the present well field and adjoining property. To this end, monitoring wells are planned north and south of the hospital area, east of AlA, to monitor the long term effects of salt water intrusion as a result of heavier draws from the present aquifer and well field. •I strongly suggest that a salt water barrier structure be constructed at the discharge end of the proposed ditch, and that a meeting be held at an early convenient date with the Department of Transporta- tion., Department of Environmental Regulation, City and the County to see what precautions should be taken to minimize a potential threat to the area water supply and well field.
