The purpose of the Infrastructure Element is to ensure the availability of wastewater, solid <br />waste, drainage, and potable water facilities to meet the existing and projected demands within the County. This Element <br />establishes level of service standards and aims to effectively manage growth and maintain environmental quality while <br />providing safe and adequate facilities for residents and visitors. <br />A summary of the changes that are proposed for the Solid Waste Sub-Element are as follows. <br />◊ Avoid definitive determinations, such as the use of “always” in Objective 1 <br />◊ Confirm and update the status of anticipated facilities, such as the Biosolids Facility <br />◊ Continue to emphasize recycling and educate the public to reduce the amount of solid waste <br />◊ Revised the Level of Service to 1.4 tons per equivalent residential unit per year. <br />These recommended changes are important to improve this Element which protects the citizens, as well as the built and <br />natural environment in the County. <br />Florida Statute Reference: Chapter 163.3177(6)(c) <br />PAGE 47
