AUG1989 BOOK F�cE j <br />OBJECTIVE 2 PRESERVING THE QUANTITY OF THE SHALLOW AQUIFER <br />By 1995, the county will have no net loss in the amount of the <br />groundwater in the shallow aquifer. <br />Commissioner Bowman suggested that we say strive to instead <br />of will and minimal instead of no net. <br />It was felt that the state wanted a more positive word than <br />"strive," but agreed that we would say minimal instead of no net. <br />OBJECTIVE 3 PRESERVING THE QUANTITY OF THE FLORIDAN AQUIFER <br />By 1995, the county will have no net loss in the amount of the <br />groundwater in the Floridan aquifer. <br />It was noted that this also should be worded minimal instead <br />of no net loss. <br />Commissioner Bird wondered if it is really necessary to have <br />anything in there. We have no ability to put any water back into <br />the aquifer; so, why do we even talk about it. <br />Planner Rohani noted that we have some policies where we <br />have to coordinate with other counties to get enough recharge, <br />and Director Keating further noted that some of our policies <br />encourage the use of low volume irrigation systems to prevent <br />overpumping and also recommend discouraging flood irrigation with <br />water from the Florida aquifer, which, in effect, would keep more <br />water in the aquifer. <br />OBJECTIVE 4 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION <br />By 1992, the count will have a regular coordination mechanism <br />with other local governments and agencies for identification and <br />preservation of the function of natural groundwater aquifer <br />recharge areas. - NO COMMENT <br />OBJECTIVE 5 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS <br />By 1992, the county will have a specific capital improvements <br />program in place for the acquisition and protection of the prime <br />groundwater aquifer recharge areas. - NO COMMENT <br />** END OF NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE SUB -ELEMENT ** <br />40 <br />
