OCT 2 7 1987 BooK 69 ui,F845 Director Davis reported that staff has no problem. He noted they since have received another letter that describes in more detail what the stabilization process really involves, and staff's thought was that at this time they would simply present the Board with the request to do the survey work and then at a later date bring in a more formal request to do the project. Commissioner Eggert believed Pfizer is looking at Brevard County also, and Chairman Scurlock advised that he spent a lot of time with them, and he believed the real question is the number of movements of turtles within a certain area. He noted they were also considering an area near`Chuck's Steak House, which is in Brevard County, and he personally.told them to go do it there. Commissioner Wheeler noted that he would like to see it done here as he felt some of the data received could be beneficial to the County. He also believed erosion is considerably heavier south of the inlet than it is by Chuck's Steak House and this should give us some idea of how well this substance works. Chairman Scurlock commented that, in that case, he would like to move the project to Ambersand Beach because we keep getting washouts there, and if the material works, we could at least get some benefit from it. Commissioner Bowman believed they don't want to do it at that location because they can't get their equipment in there. Commissioner Wheeler suggested that we allow them to do their surveying and prepare; and in the meantime, he can come back with a report from the Beach Preservation & Restoration Committee as to their feelings about this project. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com- missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0) agreed to allow Pfizer Chemical to proceed with their survey of the dune and shoreline at Wabasso Beach and have Commissioner Wheeler come back with a report from the Beach Preservation & Restoration Committee. 72
