Oddly enough, if the <br />effluent was going directly into the Indian River, there would <br />not be a problem with the DER. <br />budgeted operating fund. <br />The funds will come out of the <br />Commissioner Lyons did not understand who is getting <br />protected against what since the mosquito impoundment is next to <br />a large residential development where we have required them to <br />close down all their shallow wells, and Director Pinto said he <br />could argue that point on 70% of the DER requirements. <br />Commissioner Scurlock was amazed that the DER is just <br />sitting still on the issue of using effluent on mosquito impound- <br />ments rather than putting it into the river. They seem to be <br />against any solution to the problem that we have to offer. <br />Director Pinto felt the problem is that the DER sets <br />regulations on a blanket basis for all systems and does not have <br />any flexibility for unique situations. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, that the Board authorize the <br />Utilities Department to enter into a contract with <br />Camp, Dress'br & McKee, Inc., for installation of the <br />required monitoring wells and to negotiate a contract <br />for installation of the single piezometer well for the <br />Gifford wastewater plant, as recommended by staff. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bowman suggested inviting the <br />DER down here so that we could educate them to some extent on <br />this matter, but Director Pinto believed that they would just sit <br />here and agree with everything and then place the same <br />requirements into their permit applications. <br />29 <br />BOOK <br />a <br />64: F,,t691 <br />
