B. Effluent and Reuse Water Quality <br />Disposal of water and wastewater treatment plant waste <br />effluent water is an environmental concern to all and <br />future generations. It impacts our ground and surface <br />waters and accordingly requires monitoring. <br />Our operations permits require submission of quarterly <br />Reclaimed Water or Effluent Analysis Reports to the FDEP. <br />These reports contain the analytical results for <br />organics, volatile organics, inorganics, trihalomethanes, <br />radiological elements, and secondary chemical parameters. <br />Satisfactory completion and reporting of these testing <br />requirements gives assurance that we are in compliance <br />with the antidegradation law. <br />Sludge Disposal Monitoring Report <br />This report provides tracking and disposal information <br />for sludge residuals generated and/or processed at our <br />treatment facilities. These reports must be submitted to <br />the EPA annually as a requirement of our National <br />Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. <br />Commissioner Ginn pointed out some equipment and glass vials <br />on the front table of the Chambers and questioned their purpose. <br />Director Pinto explained that the equipment was an example of <br />a RO processing plant and the vials are: (1) water that comes into <br />the processing plant; (2) water after a part of the process has <br />been applied; (3) after more of the process; (4) wetlands water; <br />and (5) RO water which is supplied to homes. <br />Design and Implementation of Collection and Distribution System <br />Environmental Engineer Mike Hotchkiss reviewed how the County <br />plans expansion of the collection and distribution system to meet <br />the needs of growth and development by means of the Master Plan <br />which is derived from the County's Comprehensive Plan and <br />implemented through Developer's Agreements and assessment projects: <br />32 <br />FEBRUARY 3, 1997 <br />
