D. Commissioner Peter D. O'Brvan <br />11:49 1. Addition — Emergency Item 14.D. Economic Development <br />a.m. Opportunity <br />Commissioner O'Bryan announced that the CEO of AAG, <br />Jason Atwell, after hearing the remarks made during the <br />Board discussion under Item 4, has emailed a request (copy <br />on file) to remove AAG's proposal from today's Board <br />Agenda. <br />E. Commissioner Tim Zorc <br />9:43 1. Consideration of Issuance of RFP for Nutrient Removal System <br />a.m. (memorandum dated April 13, 2016) 214-220 <br />--- --------------------------- <br />(Clerk's Note: This item was heard in conjunction with Item <br />8.K. Recommendation of Consultant to Perform a Pilot Plant <br />Study for a Full -Scale Managed Aquatic Plant Pollutant <br />Removal System that Incorporates the Beneficial Use of <br />Harvested Biomass, and is placed here for continuity). <br />Commissioner Zorc stated that his item, along with Item 8.K., <br />also pertains to the exploration of pollutant removal systems. <br />However, he was interested in learning more about the new <br />technologies, which offer multiple benefits, in addition to <br />nitrogen and phosphorous removal. <br />Public Works Director Chris Mora advocated for Item 8.K., <br />which he explained was a pilot plant study for a pollutant <br />removal system to clean the water from the Indian River <br />Farms Water Control District's North Relief Canal. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the water quality credits that <br />are available through the Central Indian River Lagoon Basin <br />Management Action Plan (BMAP). <br />Stormwater Engineer Keith McCully provided additional <br />details on the proposed treatment system for the North Relief <br />Canal. <br />Commissioner Zorc remarked that he would be fine with <br />moving Item 8.K. forward, but stressed that there are other <br />measures of pollution control worth exploring. He proposed <br />reaching out to Sherry Brandt -Williams from the St. Johns <br />River Water Management District (SJRWMD), who has been <br />researching newer technologies. <br />Board of County Commission Minutes Page 12 <br />April 19, 2016 <br />
