Robert Reider of Reef Road wished to voice his concern <br />on the issue raised by Commission Fletcher regarding <br />"depending" on other governing agencies to pick up any <br />possible flaws. He felt this onus should remain with the <br />County Commission. <br />Chairman Scurlock reviewed the safeguards, noting that <br />we have a 3% franchise fee, a renewal and replacement fee, <br />and a provision for the County to inspect the facilities, <br />plus the DER requirements. <br />Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that while the DER <br />might have allowed some other type discharge, this Board <br />made it clear that the only discharge allowed would have to <br />be used for irrigation; nothing will discharge in the river. <br />Attorney Sundstrom stated that river discharge would <br />not be allowed in any event. He confirmed that Florida Land <br />Company has promised on site discharge and that will be <br />specified in the construction permit application. <br />Commissioner Lyons asked if the Board would have the <br />chance at the time the permit application is submitted'to <br />say that possibly they don't have enough storage, etc., and <br />Attorney Sundstrom stated that, speaking for his client, he <br />just gave the Board the standing to do so. <br />Commissioner Bird discussed distrust of depending on <br />other governmental to detect possible problems and pointed <br />out that we are a relatively small county with a relatively <br />small staff which cannot rival the staff of the DER or St. <br />John's Water Management District; we, therefore, must rely <br />on their expertise to some degree. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />closed the public hearing. <br />JUL 7 1982 42 a 0 PAS1 7 <br />J <br />
