CHAIRMAN"WODTKE QUESTIONED IF THE ANALYSIS DONE BY ORLANDO LABORATORIES (EXHIBIT 8), REPORT #17246-1, 17246-2 AND 17246-3, IS ON THREE DIFFERENT WELLS. MR. VAUGHN STATED THAT IT IS NOT AND EXPLAINED THAT IT IS AN ANALYSIS OF THE RAW WATER SUPPLY AND IS A COMBINATION OF ALL WELLS PUMPING INTO THE PLANT PRIOR TO TREATMENT. THE SAMPLE IS TAKEN FROM THE RAW WATER TAP AT THE PLANT. IN EXHIBIT 1, ATTACHMENT 4, THERE IS AN ANALYSIS FROM ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & ENGINEERING, WHICH HAS EACH OF THE THREE WELLS SEPARATE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFERENCE FROM ONE WELL TO ANOTHER AND ASKED WHETHER IT IS NORMAL TO MAKE TESTS FROM THE COMBINED WELLS OR BY SAMPLES FROM EACH WELL. MR, VAUGHN EXPLAINED THAT THE DER DOES NOT REQUIRE A TEST OF THE RAW WATER, BUT A TEST OF THE WATER LEAVING THE PLANT GOING TO THE CONSUMER. THE CHAIRMAN POINTED OUT THAT THERE IS A NOTE STATING THAT THE SAMPLE MEETS REGULATIONS, AND HE ASSUMED THERE ARE REGULATIONS TO BE MET. MR. VAUGHN STATED THAT THEY JUST WANTED TO INDICATE THAT THEIR RAW WATER BEFORE ANY TREATMENT DOES MEET ALL THE NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS - WITHOUT ANY TREATMENT. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF THESE ARE ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE MET, AND MR. VAUGHN STATED THAT THESE ARE THE RE- QUIREMENTS OF THE NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS, CHAPTER 22. HE NOTED THAT THERE ARE OTHER STANDARDS WHICH DO NOT RELATE TO THE PRIMARY STANDARD, BUT THESE ARE THE STANDARDS THAT EACH WATER TREATMENT FACILITY IS REQUIRED TO HAVE MET BY JUNE 24TH. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF ON EXHIBIT 1, ATTACHMENT 4, THEY ARE SAYING IN THE WRITTEN TEXT OF COMMENTS THAT EVERYTHING ON THIS PAGE MEETS THE REGULATIONS. MR. VAUGHN EXPLAINED THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE IN EFFECT AS OF THIS DATE. HE THEN MENTIONED TOTAL ALPHA AND TOTAL BETA AND SAID THEY DO NOT MEET THAT REQUIREMENT, DEC 111979 15 boUit PACE SQ
