JUN 18 19 90 BOOK 43 ?AGE 83 <br />.0 <br />DRAFT <br />Office of Water Research and Technology <br />Attention: Research Proposal Center <br />U.S. Dpeartment of the Interior <br />18th and "C" Streets, N.W. <br />Washington, D.C. 20240 <br />Subject: Reynolds, Smith and Hills Proposal No. C 00046-2 <br />dated December 28, 1979 <br />Gentlemen: <br />Reynolds, Smith and Hills, AE&P, Inc. is under contract with Indian <br />River County to prepare a Master Drainage Plan geared toward solving <br />existing flooding problems, prevention of future problems, conservation <br />of our water resources, review of our water management ordinances, <br />and preservation of environmental quality. In doing so, RS&H has been <br />charged with coordination of its efforts with regulatory agencies to <br />insure that the end result is a plan which can be permitted and which <br />is cost-effective from an implementation standpoint. <br />We understand that the subject RS&H proposal before you now is a research <br />project that is directed toward evaluation of local, State and Federal <br />regulatory impacts on cost of Stormtirater Management Systems in Florida <br />for new developments. We are keenly interested in this subject because <br />we recognize the need to harness increasing housing costs and to reduce <br />operation and maintenance costs (i.e. taxes.) through well -do c'umented <br />regulation of these systems. The study which RS&H is currently doing <br />for the County will produce a large quantity of data, including aerial <br />photogrammetry, <br />which <br />can be used in <br />the work <br />proposed to you. <br />Therefore, we would <br />like <br />to express our <br />support <br />of Reynolds, Smith and <br />Hills on this proposal and ask that you look favorably upon it. <br />Very truly yours, <br />W.W. Siebert, Jr. <br />Chairman <br />Indian River County <br />
