Dr. Virnstein did not know that he could say which was the <br />bigger problem. He did feel we must find out which one is more <br />important, and if it turns out 800 of the problem is from fresh <br />water, we should concentrate on that first and then address the <br />other. We cannot disregard either problem, however. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked what the timetable would be for <br />accomplishing Projects #1 and #2, and Mr. Montgomery figured <br />about six months maximum on #1. He noted that it is not <br />generating new data that is the problem. Most of the information <br />is diverse and not published and is in obscure documents; the <br />problem is digging it out. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked if a Motion to sponsor would be a <br />help, and Dr. Virnstein agreed it would be. The Chairman stated <br />that he would like to defer on local funds available until we get <br />a better idea about what the insurance package will do to us. <br />Commissioners Lyons and Commissioner Bowman withdrew their <br />Motion. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, that the County agree to, act <br />as agents for Projects #1 through #9 and also to move <br />ahead to see if we can find a way to get some addi- <br />tional funding for Projects #1 and #2 . <br />Commissioner Bird raised a question as to what percentage of <br />these projects will generate new information and what will be <br />just a compilation of data that is already out there somewhere. <br />Mr. Montgomery advised that Project #1 will involve a <br />compilation of data, and #2 will be new research. He agreed the <br />data has been studied a great deal, but he did feel the end <br />result will be something that can be used. <br />Chairman Scurlock wondered if any of the monies received for <br />new docking facilities and making improvements to the river are <br />available for preserving the resource. <br />25 <br />FEB 12 1981 <br />BOOK 63 r� 590.E <br />
