Apparently, something is happening <br />offshore that is causing more of the tank traps to become exposed. <br />They are a danger to swimmers. Chairman Bird thought that this <br />calm season is the time to remove those tank traps. <br />Mr. Davis explained that it took a couple of years to get the <br />other tank traps removed, and he did not anticipate that a second <br />effort could take place in any shorter time frame. <br />Commissioner Adams recommended that the Board declare an <br />emergency situation, which might cause the DER to address this <br />situation sooner. <br />Chairman Bird and Commissioner Eggert agreed that it is a life <br />threatening emergency. <br />38 <br />_ e AMENDMENT NO. <br />1 TO <br />AGREEME,�'['e r <br />IS ON FILE IN <br />THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO <br />THE <br />BOARD <br />UNDERWATER TANK TRAPS ON SOUTH BEACH, PORPOISE POINT <br />Chairman Bird led discussion regarding the underwater tank <br />traps located offshore at Porpoise Point at south beach. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that 20 to 30 tank <br />traps were removed a year or two ago through the combined efforts <br />of United States Navy underwater divers and County employees using <br />our equipment to drag those objects out of the water. <br />Chairman Bird pointed out that more of these underwater <br />objects have become uncovered and Emergency Services personnel <br />marked them with buoys.
