Attorney Green wished it noted for the record that all <br />the Highway Troopers in the County would strenuously urge <br />the Board to adopt the ordinance to be considered this <br />afternoon re prohibiting the sale of teflon coated <br />ammunition. <br />REQUEST OF ST. JOHN'S WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO DRILL <br />TEST WELLS <br />James Frazee, hydrologist with St. John's River Water <br />Management District, came before the Board to request on <br />behalf of the District that they be allowed to do test holes <br />at both Round Island Park and Wabasso Beach Park for the <br />purpose of identifying water quality and geologic <br />information. These holes would be in the range of 120'-140' <br />deep in both locations and would be used to sample the water <br />level and quality in the shallow rock zone over a long <br />enough period of time to develop a long term trend. Mr. <br />Frazee stated that they will work with the recreation people <br />as to location based on future plans and will try to drill <br />during the period of lowest visitation. <br />Discussion ensued as to whether these wells will be <br />usable, and Mr. Frazee stated that so far the wells they <br />have put in have been very productive and having these might <br />help identify a future source. They are trying to locate <br />the salt water/fresh water interface, and this is a very <br />productive strata, but as to the wells being usable, he <br />informed the Board that while they have in the past allowed <br />installation of some type pump to use this water for fire <br />control or some similar use, they generally would not <br />recommend it for drinking water. In the case of the <br />Forestry Service wells, when the St. John's District no <br />longer needs them for monitoring, they would regress back to <br />the Forestry Service for fire control, and possibly an <br />agreement similar to that could be worked out with the <br />County. <br />J U L 7 1982 47 ��x 50 w217 <br />
