BOOK 99 PACE 798 <br />Director Keating focused on Objective 2, surface water <br />quality, advising that several new policies will be inserted. <br />Staff is recommending deletion of a policy concerning maximum depth <br />of created water bodies which had been resolved by handing it over <br />to St. Johns River Water Management District. <br />With respect to Objective 3, Director Keating declared that <br />once again, the County is subject to State requirements. He <br />advised that staff is recommending revision to set an objective <br />target, and advised that new policy relating to well head <br />protection will be included. <br />Director Keating advised that under Wetlands, Objective 5, <br />staff is recommending deletion of policy 5.6 and addition of a new <br />policy to support the CARL Blueways program. <br />Chairman Adams wanted to know if the change(s) would give the _ <br />Board the opportunity to take another look at the Flynn tract, and <br />Chief of Environmental Planning Roland DeBlois advised that will be <br />coming up following an inter -agency coordination. He declared that <br />SJRWMD's staff has decided the project is worthy and staff is <br />hopeful that issue will move forward. <br />Chairman Adams was pleased to hear Mr. DeBlois' report. <br />Director Keating touched on Objective 6 advising that staff is <br />recommending the target date be set back for the year 2000 and he <br />expected they would be recommending other revisions. He felt the <br />County had made a lot of progress in this area. <br />Director Keating briefly reviewed Objective 7, recommending a <br />new policy to complete a habitat conservation plan, which they feel <br />will be helpful in resolving some problems that have come up <br />regarding endangered species. Staff feels some revision is <br />necessary in Objective 8 to set a manageable target. He thought <br />they will begin seeing initiatives generally with respect to the <br />County's land acquisition and natural resource protection and <br />management. In Objective 9 there will be a new policy promoting <br />aqua culture. <br />Chairman Adams inquired about sand mines, and Director Keating <br />explained that this relates to administering State regulations; <br />that the County still has its own regulations but we try to defer <br />to SJRWMD as much as possible. <br />Mr. DeBlois advised that with respect to sand mines, staff had <br />become aware of some obscure state mining regulations and had been <br />working with the State. The result was really not practical and <br />our sand mining regulations were not affected. <br />14 <br />November 12, 1996 <br />
