Evaluation
Dear Mr. Cooper:
Attached are the revisions for the information which we inadvertently did not include in the
final report due to Xeroxing and binding error, including:
1. Table of Contents
2. Section 5 - Recommendation
Neither item had changed from the draft, and in certain copies, the two (2) pages were not
included, though, in other copies they were.
The second addenda is the clarification from Mr. Votapka relative to the County's position
concerning flow and ERU basis for impact fees. Our report was written utilizing a flow basis
as an alternative to the full ERU basis. Since the ERU basis will be used without
consideration of flow by Indian River County, the value in Section 4.03, Item 6, should be
changed from $5,000 to $7,000; and the value in Section 4.03, Item 1, should be changed
from $122,448 to $170,917.

EXISTING FACILITIES
M 2.01 WASTEWATER PLANT AND PERCOLATION PONDS
„ A. Inspection
_ On Wednesday, April 14, 1993, Mr. Harold E. Schmidt, Jr. P.E. inspected the
Sebastian Lakes wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with Mr. Richard B. Votapka,
P.E. The Sebastian Lakes WWTP is a 60,000 gallons per day (gpd) extended
aeration/activated sludge facility with effluent disposal to two (2) percolation ponds.
The total area on which the WWTP and percolation ponds are located is approximately
3 acres. Presently, the WWTP is treating approximately 8,000 gpd of raw wastewater.
Wastewater is pumped up to the WWTP from an on-site lift station which consists of
two (2) submersible pumps of an unknown make and capacity. In addition, the
_ condition of the control panel could not be inspected since it was locked and keys to
open it were not available. The wastewater enters the WWTP and flows through a steel
splitter box which is a structure that sits atop the surge tank. This splitter box consists
of a manually cleaned bar rack and an overflow weir which diverts the flow to the
surge tank. The steel structure is noticeably corroded. The surge tank is a precast
concrete Marolf type structure that is 12 feet 6 inches long, 8 feet wide and a sidewater
depth of approximately 16 feet. These dimensions equate to a structure with a capacity
of approximately 12,000 gallons. The surge tank is also equipped with two (2)
submersible pumps of an unknown manufacturer or capacity.
_ The screened raw wastewater then flows by gravity to the fust of the five (5) aeration
basins. Each of the aeration basins are hydraulically connected and are also Marolf
type precast concrete structures of identical size and capacity as the surge tank. Air is
supplied to the aeration basins via a 3 -inch galvanized steel air header pipe. Each
•• aeration basin had one (1) drop pipe from this main air header line. The air supply was
operated on a timer and appeared to turn on twice for approximately 15 minutes every
hour.
_ From the aeration basins the mixed liquor suspended solids (MISS) flow by gravity to
one (1) of the two (2) clarifiers. Based on measurements taken, the clarifier tankage
GCH/dn/R-S-1/Sec2.rpt
'� HAI #92-023.05 2-1
was identical in size and capacity to the aeration basins and surge tank. The clarifiers
are equipped with just an overflow scum pipe, not a weir in the center of each unit. As
a result, much of the scum and floatables in the clarifiers are discharged into the
•� chlorine contact chamber. Each clarifier is equipped with an air lift that either can
waste the sludge to the aerobic digesters or return it to the aeration basins.
The chlorine contact chamber consists of a precast concrete tank of unknown capacity.
Chlorine is added at the chlorine contact chamber using two (2) Regal Model 410 gas
., chlorinators each with a capacity of 40 pounds per day (lbs./day). The chlorine is
supplied by two (2) 150 pound chlorine cylinders that sit on a Pennwalt dual scale.
The chlorine room could not be inspected since the doors were locked and an entry key
was not available. Moreover, it was difficult to determine whether or not an exhaust
•. fan and chlorine leak detector was installed.
.. There were two (2) aerobic digesters, each being a precast concrete structure similar in
size to the surge tank and aeration basins. Air was supplied to the digesters with a
manifolded air header and one (1) drop pipe in each digester.
There were two (2) gravity sand filters, each with a diameter of 4 feet. The filters
were not in operation and appeared to not have been used recently.
The effluent flows by gravity to one of two (2) percolation ponds. The ponds were
overgrown with cattails and appeared to be very wet, particularly for a flow of slightly
.. over 13 percent of the design flow.
M
All process piping was above -ground and was laid on top of the tanks. The above-
ground piping consisted of:
• Schedule SO polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe for the raw wastewater,
return and waste sludge lines, sludge airlifts, effluent and chlorine feed.
• Galvanized steel pipe for the air lines.
Other than the chlorination equipment and submersible pumps, whose manufacturer and
_ capacities were unknown, there was some equipment located in a building west of the
WWTP. This equipment housed the irrigation equipment (i.e., centrifugal pumps and
GCH/dn/R-S-1/Sec2.rpt
HAI #92-023.05 2-2
hydropneumatic tank), as well as the blowers and emergency generator for the WWTP.
There were two (2) Lamson positive displacement blowers of unknown capacity. Each
blower was powered by a 1- hp motor. The emergency generator was a Kohler Fast
Response II with a capacity of 60 kw.
M B. Additional Information
Two (2) percolation ponds were designed for a total of 60,000 gpd. These facilities
a were never load tested. Since inception, the ponds have never been used at 20 percent
of capacity. We observed that the ponds were wet during a dry period. We expected
to observe one pond totally dry. We were unable to locate a soils report for these
ponds. There is no record or evidence that we found that the ponds had ever been
.. scraped or cleaned of organisms.
The existing wastewater treatment plant is an activated sludge facility, which in the
extended aeration mode has a capacity of 60,000 gpd. A Daytona Beach contractor
constructed this facility. Within the modules of the plant, flows are conveyed either by
gravity or via air lift piping.
The existing lift station has 3-phase power and 90 -amp breakers. The present engineer
believes that station has Goulds pumps of low head and rated probably at 150 gpm±
.. estimated at 3 HP each (2 pumps).
2.02 SUMMARY OF WASTEWATER MONTHLY OPERATING REPORTS
Mr. Carl Zubek, a "C" licensed operator, is the daily operator. The past twelve (12) months
operating records show an annual average flow of 7,250 gpd. Flows vary from 5,000 gpd to
10,000 gpd. All monthly reports reflect compliance with FDER operating requirements.
Table 2-1 presents a summary of the data.
,.. Mr. Carl Zubek stated that the plant is classed as a Category 2 Class C facility pursuant to
Chapter 17, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The flows' normal average is around 6,000
.. gpd. The plant performance has been fine. Mr. Zubek reported that sludge is removed once
every six (6) months.

2.03 SUMMARY OF PRESENT SERVICE AREA
The franchised service area contains 66.951 acres of land. The customer base appears to be
+� comprised of:
64 Sewer ERC's in Condominiums
2 Master Association Connections (ERC's unknown)
A
1 County Library Connection (ERC's unknown) -
67 Customers
Since $1,469 appears to be a base billing month and the fixed minimum combined water and
sewer charge is $21 per month (includes 3,000 gallons usage), we assume that approximately
70 ERC's total are served. The apparent 70 ERC's approximate the total of 67 customers of
the system.
2.04 SUMMARY OF REGULATORY INVESTIGATION
Mr. Tom Powers of the Melbourne Office FDER reported no inspection problems in the past
two (2) inspections. This plant's latest FDER inspection was on August 26, 1992, with no
deficiencies. The Indian River County (IRC) Environmental Health Department reports no
deficiencies, complaints or apparent health problems. The operating permit does expire on
December 15, 1993 (see Appendix D). This facility is not on the Indian River Lagoon
package plant list for abandonment, modification, or improvement. It was not classified as a
public health threat. Mr. John Armstrong, an engineer at the Orlando Office FDER, reported
that the WWTP had leakage apparently caused by differential horizontal movement of the
structure. He said a brace and elastic sealant was used to patch the problem (see Appendix E).
Mr. Lee Miller of the Domestic Water Orlando Office FDER, said they only built the 60,000
gpd facility and all other permits have lapsed and are now void. He thought the IRC regional
wastewater transmission main would take this facility off-line. Mr. Miller thought that the
.. developer was given notice that sewer service was available from IRC and the developer would
be required to tie-in at his cost, pay IRC capacity fees, and would appropriately abandon his
facility.

..
Ms. Sarah Whittaker of the Groundwater Orlando Office FDER, was the last contact on May
3, 1993. No groundwater monitoring is required. FDER only needs a response from a basic
data request regarding the monitoring wells.
2.05 SUMMARY OF PLANT OPERATING COSTS
Table 2-2 and Appendix G summarize the operating costs of the combined water and sewer
_ utility. The system is expected to lose about $21,000 in 1993. There may be structural
problems with the system. The effluent disposal system has not been tested at capacity (load
test). The permit expires on December 15, 1993, and several costs will be incurred for a
renewal in the short-term. The above is at zero debt or at zero payment for the system.
M 2.06 WATER SERVICE
Water service is provided via a master meter from the General Development Utilities, Inc.
(GDU) system. Sebastian Lakes pays the minimum meter charge, and the consumption charge
for water at the tariff retail rate.

3.01 INDIAN RIVER COUNTY COORDINATION
At this time, the only practical (cost-effective) facilities program would involve tying the
Sebastian Lakes facilities into the Indian River County (IRC) force main under the present
City -County Agreement. The issue of capital charges and the trade -out of capacity per the
existing agreement needs to be discussed with IRC.
3.02 GRANTING LAND, EASEMENTS AND FACILITIES
Free and clear title to all assets transferred to the City, as well as appropriate easements and
., fee simple land (for the pump station), are necessary to be donated by the developer to the
City.
3.03 INTERIM OPERATIONS AGREEMENT
., An interim operations agreement is needed which would make the developer responsible to pay
for operations and to keep permits active for the WWTP and percolation ponds until such time
as the IRC coordination and interconnection facilities are in place.
M 3.04 PROPER ABANDONMENT AND SITE RESTORATION
If the land underlying the plant and ponds reverts to the developer, then the developer must
appropriately abandon and restore the site.
M 3.05 GDU WATER SERVICE
We assume the developer will maintain service with GDU.

HAI #92-023.05 3-1
3.06 CITY FRANCHISE
Ordinance No. 0-85-16 (see Appendix B) clearly places the responsibility of appropriately
operating facilities within the franchise area upon the Grantee - Sebastian Lakes - until the year
2005. Other provisions of the franchise must also be complied with.
3.07 ADEQUACY OF EFFLUENT DISPOSAL
Based upon limited work involving SCS site soils designations, the level of the apparent
groundwater (as indicated from adjacent stormwater ponds), the wet/moist condition of the
percolation pond bottoms at minimal loading rates, the vegetation in the area, and the size and
configuration of the facilities would indicate that attaining 60,000 gpd on an annual average
., basis with the present facilities is suspect. An estimate of actual capacity was outside of the
scope of this report; nonetheless, we do not accept the 60,000 gpd percolation pond capacity
.. without a proper long-term load test or similar verification activity.
3.08 STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF WWTP, REMAINING USEFUL LIFE OF
CERTAIN COMPONENTS, FUTURE NEED OF IMPROVEMENTS
Much of the plant piping is run on top of the tanks. The materials and equipment with respect
to plant piping, valves, header, concrete modular units and chlorine contact tank probably will
.. require replacement prior to the end of the franchise. Since differential settling is apparently
occurring, the structural integrity of the units become suspect. The value of the concrete plant
and appurtenances (in contrast to the blower and auxiliary power building) may be marginal
and may represent latent defects with a future burden of repair.

SECTION 4
., ALTERNATIVES
M
4.01 GENERAL
Conceptual estimated costs are integral elements to the alternatives evaluation. The estimates
involve the cost of a tie-in to the 6 -inch force main owned by Indian River County (IRC), the
cost of capacity for the existing units (70±), the cost of site restoration, the salvage value of
the existing facilities, and the assumed land value of the specific two (2) acre site and the
improved use of over four (4) acres of property. Our estimates are shown on Table 4-1.
M 4.02 ST. PAUL CORPORATION PROPOSAL
The St. Paul Corporation, a subsidiary of Chase-Manhatten Bank, is the current owner of the
Sebastian Lakes development. Their proposal involves the dedication of the water and sewer
system to the City with land and necessary easements, the termination of the franchise, the
., payment of fees due to the City, and the transfer of renewal and replacement account balance
to the City. St. Paul Corporation would be responsible for securing and paying for all
prevailing water system fees, charges and capital contributions. St. Paul Corporation would
build and dedicate all future on-site sewer system, collection system and customer service
facilities to the City at no cost to meet their development needs, all subject to the City's review
and approval. There are no customer deposits to be transferred to the City. There are no
,., capital capacity fees to be transferred to the City. At closing the City will assume no vendor
debt or liability other than the responsibility to provide service to a total of 200 sewer ERC's
(the existing 70± ERC's plus an additional 130 ERC's) at no capital charge, capacity fee or
like fee (free). An ERC is an equivalent residential connection which is used interchangeably
with ERU, which is an equivalent residential unit.
The above is our understanding of the proposal. The above proposal was made when the St.
■+ Paul Corporation believed it owned a plant with a total of 400 ERC's of capacity. The intent
was to split the available capacity 50/50 with the City.
.r
Using the franchise agreement, Exhibit B, page CDA:58, one ERC or ERU is 250 gpd. To
obtain 400 ERC's, the plant and disposal system would need a capacity of 100,000 gpd.

M
Using the present flows for the existing 70± ERU's, an ERU equals about 143 gpd. On this
basis, all ERU's are seasonal condominiums with low sewage flow generation in a high density
configuration and without significant inflow and infiltration, and are primarily inhabited by
•• singles and couples. On this basis, the 60,000 gpd flow is justified. It is doubtful that all of
the above will be held true with future customers.
The first flaw is the assumption that commercial and off-site uses will have the same flow
generation as the condominiums. This will probably not occur.
The second flaw is the time lag to increase the number of units over 200 by the St. Paul
Corporation before which the City could collect capital charges. Only 64 of these units have
been constructed since the early 1980's.
The third flaw is that at 200 units this plant and percolation pond system may be at capacity or
over capacity such that there is no additional capacity available.
The fourth flaw is that the system is expected to lose at least $21,000 per year.
M
The fifth flaw is that this site is not conducive to a regional facility. Therefore, the
replacement capacity of the first 200 units at IRC's current $2,551 sewer impact fee charge per
ERU is $510,200. Added to this cost is the following: (1) a tie-in cost of $20,000, and (2) a
.. site restoration cost of $18,500. The facilities have little salvage value. The residual land has
little if any value to the City (in fact it would be non-taxable).
M
A sixth flaw is the loss of tax revenues from the utility and loss of franchise fee revenues from
the utility.
In summary, for the above six reasons, we do not believe the St. Paul Corporation proposal is
feasible for acceptance by the City of Sebastian.
M 4.03 OPTION 1 - CITY OPERATIONS OF WWTP
M
This alternative involves the dedication of all assets, accounts, land easements and the like to
the City with no liabilities. Approximately 70 ERC's (the existing customers only) would be
assumed without capacity charges. All future infrastructure would be donated to the City free

and clear for on-site water and wastewater lines to serve the proposed 240 residential units and
the 14.5± acres of commercial property.
To make this alternative feasible, the following would be necessary:
1. Payment to the City for the amount of $38,500 for the tie-in to the IRC force
main and restoration of the plant site and percolation ponds.
2. An annual payment of the amount of $21,000 per year up front for each year of
City operations until the tie-in. Pro -rated reimbursement would be made for
that portion of the year which operation did not occur.
3. Payment of prevailing capital charges for all new (non -existing customer)
ERU's to the City.
4. Payment of all current City water and sewer rates by the active customers.
5. Reversion of the treatment plant and percolation pond lands rough graded
(excluding the pump station and necessary easements) to the developer within
one (1) year after tie-in to the IRC force main.
6. A payment of $5,000 per year from the developer to the City for twenty (20)
years for existing customers capacity credits.
4.04 OPTION 2 - NO CITY OPERATIONS OF THE WWTP
This alternative involves St. Paul Corporation performing the tie-in, the site restoration,
dedicating all assets, accounts, the pump station parcel, easements, access, and the like for
both the water and wastewater systems to the City with no liabilities. All future water and
sewer infrastructure would be donated to the City free and clear for on-site lines to serve the
proposed 240 residential units and the 14.5± acres of commercial property.
To make this alternative feasible, the County must make capacity available and the following
would be necessary:
GCH/dn/R-S-I/Sec4.rpt 4-4
HAI #92-023.05
1. Payment to the City in the amount of $122,448 for the existing customers.
2. Payment to the City of prevailing capital charges for all new customers and the
�+ prevailing monthly fees and charges for all existing customers.
M 4.05 NO ACTION
_ The no action alternative maintains the status quo. St. Paul Corporation would continue to
operate the facilities at continually greater annual costs. The present permit No. DO31-
156174 expires December 15, 1993. The previous permit No. DC31-114595 expired and is
void. The developer would have the following regulatory costs prior to December 15, 1993:
.0 1. Providing documentation for the existing monitor wells.
M 2. Performing a capacity analysis engineer's statement.
3. Performing an operational performance report.
r�
4. Cost of preparing a renewal application.
5. FDER permit fee for the application.
Pursuant to the franchise - Ordinance No. 0-85-16 - the City will continue to receive three
percent (3%) of the previous years' revenues, rate adjustments are limited to twenty percent
(20%) every three (3) years, the City maintains its right for purchase, the renewal and
replacement account will continue to build, and the value will probably not increase with time
(consideration of CIAC and depreciation more than offsetting customer growth in a limited 67 -
acre franchise area). Moreover, it appears that the sinldng fund disbursements to the restricted
R & R account of 2.5% of the gross revenues per year were not reflected in the calendar year
1992 and the fust quarter of 1993 in the Monthly Operating Statement. We are unsure
.. whether the apparent $261.25 paid to the City in franchise fees is sufficient and in compliance
with the 3% of the previous year requirements.

Dear W. Cooper:
In response to your request I am providing you with a written outline of my client,
St Paul Corporation's proposal to achieve a comprehensive solution to all of our issues with
the City and to provide the property with certain development rights that will allow the
client to effectively market the property.
1. St. Paul Corporation will give the City $65,000.00 to construct Laconia Road
from Granduer Avenue to Fellsmere Road and will provide the City with copies of its
completed plans for the construction of Laconia Road. If water management permits have
not been obtained from the St. John's Water Management District, the City shall be
responsible for obtaining those permits and St. Paul will reimburse the City for its costs in
permitting up to $3000.00

2. St. Paul Corporation will dedicate to the City the additional 20 feet required
for an 80 foot corridor on Roseland Road. The construction of Roseland Road shall not
be required until the development of commercial uses within the property. The City will
cooperate with St. Paul Corporation in its efforts to obtain County road impact fee credit
for the dedication of right of way for Roseland Road and for its construction.
3. St. Paul Corporation will convey to the Sebastian Lakes sewer utility and will
convey to the City the lands on which the utility is located. In payment for that utility and
for the land the City will grant to the property a credit which will entitle the owner of the
property to 200 sewer connections to the City -operated utility without charge. In the event
that the City ceases to serve the property prior to the time that 200 connections are
obtained, the City shall ensure the property will continue to maintain such rights with any
subsequent sewer service provider.
4. St Paul Corporation will provide the City with a check for 53000.00 within 10
days, 'Ile City shall use those funds to hire a consultant to prepare a feasibility study for
the City with respect to the City's acquisition of the utility.
5. The City will enter a developer's agreement with St. Paul that would agree to
allow the property to remain within the current comprehensive plan land use designations
and remain within zoning designations that would allow the development of the remaining
undeveloped property with general commercial uses in areas where that use is now
permitted and allow the development of residential uses up to a density of 8 units to the
acre on the remaining undeveloped property that is now designated as Medium Residential
use under the City's Comprehensive Plan. This provision would not prevent a subsequent
property owner from seeking a change in the land use and zoning to change some of the
commercial areas to residential and/or to alter the density permitted. Any such request
would be evaluated by the City based on it merits. The agreement would not oblige the City
to approve any such change.
6. The developer's agreement would also recognize that the infrastructure
improvements required for the development of the property have been determined in the
agreement and that such improvements will provide adequate capacity on all affected
roadways for the development of the remaining undeveloped property with uses that do not
exceed the impacts of 145 acres of commercial uses and 240 residential units. This provision
would not prevent the City from requiring minor improvements such as turn lanes to serve
the site at the time that the uses are developed. The agreement would also exempt the
property from any future roadway impact fees assessed to the property by the _Qy.

In the interest of providing you with an outline in writing for tonight's meeting I have
sketched the details of a comprehensive strategy to resolve the concerns of the City and
protect the development potential of the property. Complete details will be worked out
ovor the next two months. We are requesting that the City continue its public hearing for
at least 60 days to allow the city's consultant to provide the City with a report on the utility
issue and allow us to jointly reach written agreements on all issues.

Art. VIII, § 109 SEBASTIAN CODE

Section 109. Rate Adjustment.
It is recognized by the parties that the rate charged by Grantee for the disposal of Grant-
or's sewage and the providing of water under this agreement represents recovery of variable
costs and fixed costs, as well as amortization of return on Grantee's investment in the respec-
tive systems. Over the term of this agreement, it is recognized that variable costs may fluc-
tuate.
With the possibility of this fluctuation in mind, the parties agree that at the end of any
three (3) year term hereof, either party may, upon the advice of its consulting engineer, request
a rate revision for the next ensuing three (3) year term, to reflect changes in variable costs.
Such variable costs shall include energy, water, chemicals and labor used in the normal
operation of the systems. The consulting engineers of each of the parties shall meet and
determine whether a rate adjustment is justified after reviewing all such costs.
In the event the engineers cannot agree on a rate adjustment, they shall, by agreement,
appoint a disinterested engineer who shall review the cost figures and shall determine whether
a rate adjustment is justified, and if so in what amount. Such determination shall be binding 3
upon the parties. However, in no event shall a rate adjustment for any three (3) year term �°!d
exceed twenty percent (20%) of existing rates. Rate increases are subject to the approval of the
city council after public hearing thereon.
Section 110. Systems Cost Data.
As construction of said facilities progresses and when the construction is completed, Grantee
shall furnish the Grantor annually within thirty (30) days after the anniversary date of this
grant, proof of the costs and expenses of such construction. If Grantor seeks to purchase the
facilities as is hereinafter set forth, said cost or expense of figures or cost or expense items shall
.. not be conclusive as to a reasonable purchase price but shall be evidence thereof.

condition and its operations for the preceding year, including customer accounts, opera-
tional expenses, gross and net income. Grantor may use these data to determine the earning
capacity of the facilities, the reasonableness of its rates, and the advisability of Grantor
purchasing the facilities, and for other lawful purposes.
Section 112. Right to Purchase.
Grantor shall have a right to purchase the facilities of Grantee at any time during the life
of this franchise.
Section 113. Restoration.
The Grantee shall restore all streets, alleys, sidewalks, highways, easements, bridges, and
other public places to their original condition after excavation or other disturbance by Grantee.

APPENDIX A—FRANCHISES Art. VIII, § 118
In case any obstruction caused by Grantee shall remain longer than three (3) days after notice
to remove same, or in case of neglect of the Grantee to protect dangerous places by proper
guards, the Grantor may remove the obstruction or alleviate the danger and charge the
Grantee for cost incurred thereby.
�. Section 114. Subordination Provision.
The construction, maintenance and operation of the said facilities shall be subject to all of
�+ the ordinances of the Grantor relating to construction and zoning.
Section 115. Indemnity.
., The Grantor shall in no way be liable or responsible for any accident or damage that may
occur in the construction, operation or maintenance by the Grantee of the systems hereunder,
.� and the acceptance of this ordinance shall be deemed an agreement on the part of the Grantee
to indemnify the Grantor and hold it harmless against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage
or expense, which may accrue to the Grantor by reason of the neglect, default[,] misconduct or
�+ strict liability of the Grantee in the construction, operation, or maintenance of its facilities
hereunder.
Section 116. Severability.
If any part (court] of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision hereof is
invalid, illegal, unenforceable, or otherwise prohibited, or if any federal or state governmental
agency shall establish or interpret any law, rule or regulation by which any provision hereof
becomes invalid, illegal, unenforceable or otherwise prohibited, such portion shall be deemed
.. a separate, distinct and independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of
the remaining portions hereof-, except that the Grantor may declare this franchise terminated
if it finds the invalidated provision to be an essential part of this franchise.
Section 117. Service Standards.
Grantee will maintain and operate all of said facilities in good working order in accor-
dance with established engineering practices and recommendations at all times, and will, at
its cost, make such additions and improvements to its plants and facilities as are necessary to
.� provide adequate service to all of the area covered by this franchise. The provision is subject
to all other provisions of this franchise pertaining to the construction of facilities.
Section 118. Construction Schedule.
Grantee shall proceed expeditiously to construct such part of the plant and systems as
OR shall be necessary to serve water and wastewater demands in the area covered by this fran-
chise as needed, and to maintain said plants and other facilities in a sufficient capacity to
handle the requirements of the then utility service demands in the area covered by this
no franchise.

M Art. VIII, § 118 SEBASTIAN CODE
All of the facilities to be owned and operated by Grantee shall be planned and designed by
professional engineers of the State of Florida. The contract or contracts for the construction of
all facilities shall be awarded by Grantee to reputable contractor or contractors. The Grantee
shall have the right to examine and concur in the design of all facilities, but concurrence shall

Ground Water Monitoring Requirements
Dear Mr. Roberts:
The Department has reviewed your request to exempt the above referenced facility
., from ground water monitoring. The current operation permit specifies that the
facility capacity is 0.060 GPD. The monitoring well network, which was to
consist of ten monitoring wells,was installed as a requirement of a construction
Permit (Permit #DC31-114595) to expand the facility to a capacity of 0.18 MGD.
The facility was never expanded and the construction permit has expired.
Based on the current permitted capacity the Department agrees to exempt the
facility from ground water monitoring.
However, in order to complete our records please indicate which of the ten wells
_ have been installed. The Department's letter dated January 22, 1993 requested
that FDER Well Completion Reports be submitted for all wells. Please complete
and submit these forms for any wells which were constructed and provide an
8.5x11 inch site map showing individual well locations with respect to the area
.0 of effluent application.
If you have any questions concerning the above contact Sarah Whitaker or
Mohammad Maher Budeir of the Ground Water Section at (407) 894-7555.
Sincerely,

1835 20TH STREET
VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32960
In response to your letter of November 3, 1988 to the
.. Permittee, please be advised that there have been ongoing
efforts to remedy the leakage problem during the past few
years - the most recent on October 4, 1988. These efforts
have resulted only in temporary sealing and we are continuing
our efforts to solve this problem. It is believed the cause
of the leakage is differential horizontal movement between
the upper and lower halves of the chlorine contact tank.
We plan, within the next few weeks, to install bracing in
the lower tank half and a more elastic sealant between the
upper and lower halves to rectify the problem.
Very truly yours,
