CHANDLER, COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: ERIK OLSON, DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: GRANT APPLICATION TO DEPARTMENT OF <br />ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION <br />BACKGROUND. <br />The Indian River Lagoon has been recognized as one of the most environmentally diverse <br />ecosystems in North America. As a result of the environmental importance of the <br />Lagoon, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), has placed programs that <br />protect this fragile environment on a high priority. Currently, Indian River County uses a <br />Reverse Osmosis treatment process to treat the drinking water. When groundwater is <br />treated by Reverse Osmosis a portion of the byproduct water is a Brine reject that is <br />disposed of by discharging it into the Indian River Lagoon. This Brine reject water has <br />been determined by the DEP as being detrimental to the Indian River Lagoon. <br />NOVEMBER 12, 2002 <br />141 <br />:d <br />ar <br />
