Director Burke provided feedback, noting that it was his understanding that Frankens Energy was looking into the integrity of the well due to their interest in having the well repermitted. Commissioner O'Bryan voiced his concern for deep injection wells; however, he supported high-level discussions with agencies such as the Florida Depa' liuent of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the St. John's Water Management District (SJWMD) to provide additional options for disposal, noting the increased number of septic -to -sewer conversions and the growth involving new developments requiring connection to the County's sewer system.
