MAR 1 � BOOK <br />River Boulevard and discharging by sheet flow into a managed <br />wetlands area south of Fairlane Harbor or, when North Indian <br />River Boulevard becomes a reality, go up that right-of-way to <br />Barber Avenue where we can get easily into the north Airport <br />aquifer, put in some shallow sand bottom lakes to create recharge <br />lagoons, and put the effluent into that area as a recharge. This <br />is being done in some states right now. <br />Discussion continued re what would be required to do this, <br />and further comment was made as to the City's study apparently <br />being disappointing.

We are trying to maximize the capacity of the South <br />County plant to make it more cost effective. The plan is to <br />extend the line north, looping it around Gifford up to Grand <br />Harbor, and come back and service all the way down into the <br />Hospital area. When we get near maximum capacity in the South <br />County, we then will spin off with the North County plant, shed <br />the North County load and the South County growth will take care <br />of what capacity is Left there. We already have entered into a <br />contract with Fellsmere and Sebastian. The missing link is the <br />12 <br />
