Boa 69 - f'r;uE J, 5 <br />,AUG rrr <br />that once the County system is available in the general area, <br />that load could be shed back and then used for GDU and its <br />expansion. However, GDU has not wanted to do that for whatever <br />reason. <br />Director Pinto explained that we designed a very feasible, <br />economical core system that can be expanded to take on the Winter <br />Beach and Wabasso area. Currently, the north county system comes <br />south to Hobart Road, but we are not sure yet how much further <br />south it will go, because we have yet to draw the northern <br />boundary line for the Gifford system. If there is some major <br />development, such as the Mooney property, we would probably bring <br />them into the north county system rather than the Gifford system. <br />However, if it is less costly for a developer'to go south, we <br />would take them south into the Gifford system, because it is all <br />really one system, just two different plants. <br />Director Pinto believed that the Gifford system could be on <br />line in 6 months once the permit business is cleared up. The <br />north county plant could be on line in approximately 18 months. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked about the status of the permits on <br />the Gifford plant, and Chairman Scurlock reported that Bent Pines <br />has filed two objections; one for the construction of the plant <br />and one against the effluent disposal. <br />Director Pinto further explained that they actually have <br />filed 3 objections: the construction of the Gifford plant, twice, <br />and the effluent at Hawk's Nest. We have submitted applications <br />for the plant twice, even though it is the same plant -- one for <br />Gifford and one for Grand Harbor. However, these objections are <br />blocking us from building anything, and even though we have <br />approval for using effluent at Grand Harbor, Bent Pine is <br />objecting to the construction of the plant itself. A hearing <br />scheduled for September 12th could result in the removal of the <br />objection to Hawk's Nest, and then we could withdraw the permit <br />for Grand Harbor as it is the same plant. Director Pinto advised <br />that -the north county plant probably will be located somewhere <br />32 <br />
