NOV <br />7 <br />1984 <br />BOOK <br />58 <br />FA.rE 790 <br />Mr. <br />Schuessler informed the Board that their survey <br />was <br />done <br />on a Tuesday, and the organisms they were looking for are <br />delicate and don't live well in an outside environment. All they <br />looked for were indicator organisms. He stated,that they sampled <br />the whole lake, and in the middle of the lake, which they would <br />consider the purest point, he felt you could drink that water. <br />The B.O.D's are low and the nitrates are low. Re the total <br />coloform count, the State sets a limit of 1,000 colonies per 100 <br />milliliters at shellfish and bathing places. Most of the fingers <br />exceeded that. In a couple of the fingers, the total fecal <br />coloforms, were over 200, which is the limit. Mr. Schuessler <br />stated that he expected higher counts, but they are high and <br />higher than they should be. They will continue to monitor this <br />in the winter season and possibly on the weekends. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked if it is not common to have this <br />where there is pasture land adjacent, and Mr. Schuessler reported <br />that they did sample some of the Holman canal and got high counts <br />there also. <br />Discussion continued at length about the samples gathered at <br />various locations, and it was generally agreed all this just <br />provides further justification for putting in a wastewater plant. <br />Mr. Galanis inquired if he had heard that by virtue of <br />requiring a permit, it has been determined there will be no more <br />building until such time as there is sewage, and Attorney <br />Brandenburg stated that he would meet with Mr. Galanis on this. <br />He believed the Commission has indicated they will not tell <br />Environmental Health what to do, and they will have to make their <br />own decision. <br />REQUEST FROM PURDUES FOR ELECTRICAL HOOKUP AT BLUE CYPRESS <br />The Board reviewed the following letter from Mr. Purdue: <br />44 <br />
