Mr. Henry Dean <br />Page Two <br />This injected water can later be recovered for irrigation for golf <br />courses, residences, and citrus groves in the area during the dry <br />season or during high groundwater demand. The system is intended to <br />provide further natural treatment through ground filtration for <br />nutrient and chemical removal. In essence, the system will also <br />improve the surface water quality of the non -point source runoff to <br />the canal system and finally to the Indian River Lagoon destination. <br />The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation is currently <br />evaluating this proposed shallow extraction/injection well system. <br />Should the Department conceptually approve the proposed system, <br />Indian River County will immediately proceed with a pilot study, <br />which is the main reason this letter is directed to the District. <br />The pilot study proposed has a budgeted cost of $200,000. Given the <br />potential benefits of the system, is the District willing to provide <br />financial assistance to cover the cost of the pilot program? <br />Enclosed is a copy of a technical report discussing the shallow well <br />extraction/injection concept in more detail. If your schedule <br />permits, please review the report, and live the request for <br />financial assistance appropriate consideration. You may contact <br />Robert Wisemen, P.E., project manager for this project at (407) <br />567-8000, Extension 382, if you need additional information. <br />If there are any questions, please advise. <br />Very truly yours, <br />1 <br />eio <br />TAMES E.
