i <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED ABOUT CONSTRUCTION TIME, AND THE ADMINIS- <br />TRATOR ESTIMATED WITHIN A YEAR. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT THE REASON HE HAS THE 201 FACIL- <br />ITIES PLAN ON THE AGENDA IS THAT A KEY CONCERN IN REGARD TO THE ALTERNATE <br />PLAN PRESENTED BY THE FLORIDA GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION CAME <br />UP AT THE MEETING IN ATLANTA. THE CONCERN HINGES ON WHETHER OR NOT THE <br />STATE OF FLORIDA WILL ADDRESS THE MOSQUITO IMPOUNDMENT AREAS AS STATE <br />WATERS. IF THEY DO, THEN THE EPA PERMIT WILL HAVE TO BE FOR WHERE THE <br />EFFLUENT FROM THE PLANT GOES INTO THE IMPOUNDMENT AREAS; OTHERWISE, THE <br />PERMIT WILL BE FOR WHERE THE EFFLUENT COMES OUT OF THE IMPOUNDMENTS <br />AND GOES INTO THE RIVER. THE CHAIRMAN CONTINUED THAT.IT IS THE STRONG <br />FEELING OF THE FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION AND THE ENVIRONMENTALISTS <br />THAT AFTER DEPOSIT OF THE EFFLUENT IN THE MOSQUITO CONTROL IMPOUNDMENTS, <br />THE NUTRIENT LEVEL OF THE EFFLUENT WOULD BE SO GREATLY REDUCED THAT THE <br />PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS GOING INTO THE RIVER WOULD BE VERY EASILY MET. <br />THE EPA AND DER HAVE MADE STATEMENTS THAT IF THE STATE DETERMINES THESE <br />ARE STATE WATERS, THEY FEEL iT WILL REQUIRE A CHANGE IN POLICY IN REGARD <br />TO SECONDARY TREATMENT IN THE WATERS THAT DO NOT FLOW, THEY HAVE ASKED <br />IF THE COUNTY COMMISSION WOULD ATTEMPT TO SEE IF WE COULD HELP FORMULATE <br />A PRELIMINARY LEGAL OPINION AS TO HOW THE STATE WOULD CLASSIFY THE <br />MOSQUITO IMPOUNDMENT AREAS. THE CHAIRMAN CONTINUED THAT HE AND COMMIS- <br />SIONER LYONS TOLD THEM THAT THEY WOULD HOPE THE BOARD WOULD CONSIDER <br />AUTHORIZING OUR ATTORNEY TO SEE WHAT INFORMATION HE COULD COME UP WITH" <br />TO PROVIDE THE LEGAL STAFF OF THE EPA. CHAIRMAN WODTKE INFORMED THE <br />BOARD THAT HE HAS TALKED WITH JOHN BEIDLER OF THE MOSQUITO CONTROL <br />DISTRICT, KNOWING THAT THEIR ATTORNEY, BYRON COOKSEY, IS ONE OF THE <br />BEST ENVIRONMENTAL ATTORNEYS AROUND, AND MR. BEIDLER WILL ATTEMPT TO <br />ARRANGE TO HAVE ATTORNEY COOKSEY ASSIST ATTORNEY COLLINS IN ANY WAY <br />HE CAN. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS CONFIRMED THE CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS. <br />MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER <br />DEESON, TO AUTHORIZE THE ATTORNEY TO OBTAIN THE LEGAL OPINION DESIRED <br />69 <br />JUN 61979 BOOK 40 PAGE4 <br />
