This project will optimize the recovery of the Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) water source from 75% to 85% through <br />the installation of a new membrane array and optimization of dedicated R.O. trains to pumps. The plant is currently <br />constrained regarding maximizing recovery from the UFA, and the improvements will maximize the limited source <br />supply while complying with limited concentrate disposal resources. Once complete, the project would provide an <br />additional 0.94 million gallons a day (I\2GD) of potable water from the same initial water source, resulting in an increase <br />in storage capacity of 343 million gallons a year (MGI) in the Upper Floridan Aquifer. <br />The project would provide water quality improvements to the Central Indian River Lagoon by reducing TN loads by <br />5,494 lbs. per year and TP loads by 143 lbs. per year. Total project cost estimate is $11,296,680. <br />Position: Indian River County BCC respectfully requests the Legislature SUPPORT an appropriation of <br />$1,129,668 toward the South R.O. Plant Enhanced Recovery Project. <br />12 <br />1l7 <br />
