Commissioner Adams also questioned whether we have this in any <br />other plant now, and Mr. Suratt advised that all the R.O. plants in <br />the state now have it, including the City of Vero Beach and the <br />North Beach R.O. Plant. <br />Chairman Macht questioned whether hydrogen sulfide was the <br />culprit and Mr. Suratt agreed that it was. Chairman Macht then <br />questioned whether hydrogen sulfide was a flammable gas and whether <br />it could be flared. He felt that it could be collected and stored <br />until it reached a sufficient concentration and that method would <br />be a lot less expensive. <br />Mr. Suratt stated that it would cost a lot more money to get <br />the hydrogen sulfide to a concentration where it could be burned. <br />They are attempting to use a method which injects chlorine <br />straight into the water to oxidize the hydrogen sulfide chemically. <br />The problem with that and the reason for these experiments is that <br />the sulphur creates turbidity and flowers of sulphur would show up <br />in the water. It would not show up in spigots but it may settle in <br />the pipes and cause problems in water heaters. Mr. Suratt further <br />advised that it is not uncommon to have lab analyses come back with <br />inconclusive results. <br />Commissioner Adams questioned whether it could be given one <br />more chance as she would love to see it made to work. <br />Director Pinto questioned the time needed to finish out this <br />pilot project, and Mr. Suratt felt that it would take a month at <br />least because of the time it takes for these labs to turn the <br />results around. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously deferred <br />this matter for a period of six weeks. <br />DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT/INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AND INDIAN <br />RIVER COUNTRY CLUB/CONSTRUCTION OF A REUSE LINE <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of January 27, 1995: <br />B®og 361 <br />FEBRUARY 14, 1995 31 <br />
