For the purpose of this objective, water quality will be based on primary and secondary maximum <br />contaminant levels (MCLs), as defined by the FDEP in Chapter 17-550, F.A.C. The County will take measures to protect its <br />sources of drinking water within the Upper Floridan aquifer and public supply wells within the county against regulated <br />contaminants, such that treated drinking water can meet primary and secondary maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), as <br />defined by the FDEP in Chapter 62-550, F.A.C. <br />Policy 1.1: By 2010, tThe cCounty shall update as needed the Surficial Primary Recharge Overlay District (SAPROD) <br />map using a geographic information systems (GIS) format. <br />Policy 1.2: By 2012, the county will assist the SJR WMD and FDEP in developing a Wellhead Protection Area (WHP A) <br />map for Indian River County by providing the following information: <br />~ the location of existing public wellheads; <br />PAGE 52
