M. October 12, 1981 Itis FROM: L_ I SVERDRUP & PARCEL AND ASSOCIATES, INC. AND BEINDORF AND ASSOCIATES, INC. (A JOiNT VENTURE) Mr. David Rever r John A. Robbi nsg6w_ MEMORANDUM Project No. SUBJECT: Review of Proposal from U.S.G.S. for Water Resource Study, Indian River County, Florida At the request of the County Administrator's and Planning Director's offices, I have completed a review of "Proposal for an Investigation of the Availability and Quality of Water Quality in the Shallow and Floridan Aquifers, Indian River County, Florida" (Draft). The referenced draft proposes Indian River County in cooperation and conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey and the St. John's River Water Management District would perform a water resource investigation of the eastern half of Indian River County for the purpose of determining the short range needs and long range tauter resource monitoring for the County. As you are aware, we have met with U.S.G.S. and St. John's River Water Management District to discuss the specific aspects of this proposal, and to also request that information needed to determine which specific water resource to utilize be in- cluded toestablish a possible North County Water System. My basic comments address -not necessarily the overall content of the program proposed, but address a level of detail necessary in order to make decisions regarding an immediate use of a water resource. Specifically, we would request in the proposal that other factors other than chloride content of the Floridan Aquifer and the shallow aquifer be used as control parameters. The use of total dissolved solids monitoring for color and turbidity would also be very beneficial in making decisions relative to a use of a resource and how it relates to an ultimate treatment process for a particular aquifer. Utilizing past data and extrapolating a trend would be very beneficial in predicting what ultimate water quality would be available -from a particular aquifer, and we would request that this information he included in the approach of the Phase I Investigation. Secondly, the amount of time necessary to complete the Phase I approach, i.e., 18-24 months, may be too long of a period to be bene- ficial to the County Cornnission in acco;anodating grater service for the North County REPLY TO: (XXl 3885 220TH STREET SUITE a VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32960 N0V 4 1981 REPLY TO: ( ) 2002 N.W. 13TH STREET SUITE 201- GAINESVILLORIDA 1 BOOK � PAGE
