r Novo <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />INTER v OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: THE 11O tORa�BLE BOARD OF <br />COUNTY CO'X.MISSIONERS <br />FROM: <br />NEIL NELSON <br />County Administrator <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: <br />DATE: E: October 13, 1981 FILE: <br />SUBJECT: WATER RESOURCES STUDY <br />REFERENCES: <br />David Rever, Planning and Zoning Director and John Robbins of Sverdrup <br />and Parcel have been looking into the means by which the County could <br />participate in the production of a comprehensive'survey of the County's <br />water resources. They have met with U.S.G.S. and The St. John's Water <br />Management District to discuss the specific aspects of a proposal <br />submitted jointly by these agencies which outlines a scope of work <br />for investigation of the water resources of the eastern half of Indian <br />River County. The purpose of this study is to determine the short <br />range needs and long range water resources of the County in the <br />Shallow and Floridan aquifers, with regard to quantity as well as quality. <br />The area of concern generally conforms to the developable districts of <br />the proposed Comprehensive Plan,from I-95 east to the Atlantic Ocean. <br />Specifically, immediate concern is focused on the lands north of State <br />Route 60. <br />For comparison we also asked Geraghty and Miller, Inc, to submit a <br />proposal to accomplish the same work as proposed by the governmental <br />agencies. Due to the short time period available and the fact that <br />this was not a formal request by the County, the G&M submission is <br />general in nature. Their response is sufficient for the comparative <br />purposes intended by Rever and Robbins. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: <br />1.
