UTILITY MASTER PLAN UPDATE "" The Master Plan Update that was approved by the Board of County Commissioners is moving along as planned. The Master Plan consisted of three major categories of defined work. Part I, which deals with Water and W aster updates~ Part IT which is development of a water and wastewater GIS information system and Part ill, which is development of Utility design Standards and Details. An understanding of the purpose of a Master Plan is as important as the plan itself so lets talk about that before we get into the plan and where it is today. A master plan for utilities is a planning tool that contains information necessary to make responsible utility decisions related to planning and implementation. The North County Area is a good example to talk about and explain the importance of a plan. When this master plan process started the North County was identified as an area that did not have a specific plan for utilities. The area represents a substantial residential population and the potential for commercial development, primarily St. Lucie County Airport and the surrounding properties. In addition to the airport a significant corridor of U.S. Highway # 1~ and an interchange with Interstate 95 at Indrio Rd. Limited commercial development exists along these corridors and development is hindered because of the lack of municipal utility service. The \..- purpose of a master plan is to identify these areas and a way to serve them. This is an important part to understand about the entire process~ identifying the areas and a potential way to serve those areas is just that, and not design and construction of the actual facilities. Identifying existing needs together with population projections enables County staff to better understand the study area and how to develop a Plan that best suits the area needs. Understanding the long term requirements of a study area enables staff to efficiently plan for future needs in provide the best economic approach to supply and demand. There is certainly a need for utilities in the North County area, but to start designing and and constructing lines without a customer base to support the infrastructure would not be cost efficient. As utility staff progressed with the Engineer through the early phases of this master plan is was still very evident that the County needed a basis for a utility system in North County. That basis could be the initiation of a water production facility and minimal expansion of our Fairwinds wastewater facility or as we are currently pursuing, the acquisition of Holiday Pines. Acquisition of an existing utility would be the primary choice to establish a utility because a customer base is existing and supportive of the current needs of the area that it serves. The acquisition of Holiday Pines will provide a sound basis for future planning of the North County with regards to utility needs. As the need arises expansion of the utility is accomplished much easier than implementation of a complete new system. Connection charges and third party pay backs become important factors in the expansion as well as Municipal Service Benefit Units for areas desiring to do so. '-" \.., Again, it is important to understand, that a master plan is not the design and construction of water, wastewater or reclaimed lines to each and every resident and business in the North County. It is a plan to accomplish that task as the County grows or the need arises. Now to discuss the Currenet Master Plan Part I. Work on this part of the Master plan has proceeded through the majority of the work with the exception the last three sub parts. The remaining tasks deal with utility acquisitions and capital improvements. With the acquisition of Holiday Pines underway it will be necessary to wait and see if the utility is acquired by the County. If the utility is acquired it will need to be included in the master plan infonnation along with any capital improvement that may be identified during the acquisition process. Additionally acquisition of holiday pines would allow for the service area to be added to the GIS information of utility service available by S1. Lucie County. Part IT of the master plan consists of compiling all the "as-built" information that pertains to S1. Lucie County utilities and entering that information into the GIS system for S1. Lucie County. Existing plans and electronic information available have been forwarded to the engineer and are in the process of being reviewed prior to formatting for the GIS information bank. Utility staffhas been working with the engineer on this portion locating older drawings to be included, some of which date bact to the late 1950's. Once this section is complete any person interested in determining the location of utility lines owned and operated by S1. Lucie County would have access to this information through the GIS system. Additionally once this infonnation is established St. Lucie County would require new utility construction projects to provide digitized "as-built" drawings at completion of the project to continue the information \.r building process. The utility information being placed on GIS will be consistent with the drainage infonnation that Public Works is currently underway with . Part ill of the Master Plan de~ls with deyelopment of Utility Design Standards and details for all of the County owned systems.! The current standards and specifications that the County Utility utilizes were adopted in 1990 and are remnants of the old General Development utility system. Utility staff has been working with the engineer to define standards and specification that are consistent with what the County has constructed recently and consistent with the surrounding area utilities. A general standard among all of the utilities and the surrounding counties will allow for easier construction methods and common knowledge among our area contractors. The end result of our Master Plan will be a document that identifies existing utilities and their capacities as well as infonnation for planning for future growth. Standards and specifications consistent with all of St. Lucie County construction and the ability through GIS to make this information readily available to any interested party. '-'" ~ EXIllBIT A ST.

On Apri!25, 1995, I responded to the PSCC's request for solutions with recommendations that would temporarily relieve overcrowded conditions for 12 to 14 months from that date (see attached memo J. Since 1992, when Pod 8-4 was compleœd, no construction of pennanent facilities to house maximum, medium, or minimum prisoners at the jail has been undertaken. A3 a very temporary measure in 1996, army tents were erected to house 80 male and 48 female minimum security prisoners. These tents are no longer adequate to meet the growing population. While tents will continue to be used, they are short term and temporary solutions. Recognizing that overcrowding at the jail exists and that the population of the county continues to grow, the present needs at the jail are: 1. A 100-bed barracks style unit to house minimum security prisoners and those sentenced to weekend time. Such construction would allow the control and assigning of work details to trustees and weekenders and other minimum security prisoners to be managed outside the jail propenyl freeing up jail and booking space. 2. A SO-bed single cell confinement unit that is attached to the jail f9r containment of special needs . that have discipline or health problems. Such construction provides protection for the nd enhances the operational capabilities of an overcrowded jail. 3. A maximum security pod for 100 prisoners. These pods can be used to house aU classes of prisoners as needed. Within ten years it is anticipated that an additional maximum security pod wilt be necessary. These projects should be undertaken soon to avoid possible litigation arising from overcrowded conditions. ts Attachment M·e M 0 RAN DUM ~ TO: PUBUC SAFETY COORDINATING COUNCIL TASK FORce ON ALTERNATIVES \. 1'/ UNDERSHERIFF D~NIS M.

Task force members recelved this lñfonnation ' . for revfew. At the March 13 task force meeting, I agreed to prepare a report, of options available to ~l Lude County~ A report of those options was presented and disarssed at .U:1e Maich 23, meeting' of the task force with concJuslons and reoommen~ations. The following is the final report I?y the task force with a view toward presenting recommendations· to the Public Safety Coordinating Coundl. . The primary objective ~f the Sþeriff is to identify cost-effective solutions to the. jail aowding aisls which favor public safety· and recognize the existençe and Importånce of other pre~sing Issues facing the County Commission and the available resources to deal with these issues. ~ The task for~. embraced this important, objective and presents the reçommendations below. . . .' Recommendations: '. 1. Implement a conditional bond procedure designed to grant pr~-trial release to qualified candidates. This bond mechanism maintains the integrity of the jOdicial process, ensures accountability of the offender and generates appearance at trial. This is accomplished at no' cost to fhe taxpayers. . 2. Enhance the booking area of the jail with an ina-ease in staff. The purpose is to provide a more 'detailed backgrolÏnd report on each offender for the first appearance judge, thereby anowing a more informed decision on detention reqúirements to the Judidary and assis~ng in the timely execuUon of the State Attorney I Public Defender -Fast Track" policy. 3. Build a 50-bed barracks style work camp at the ·Sheriff's work fann. These additional beds would house sentenced trusties, thereby freeing beds within the secure area of the jail.

Anderson, County Administrator FROM: Jack Doughney, Leisure Services Director DATE: December 29,1998 SUBJECT: Revenue Enhancement ******************************************************************************** INTRODUCTION In an attempt to enhance the incoming revenue of County departments, the Department of Leisure Services was directed to analyze its existing fee schedule to detennine the feasibility of implementing a rates & charges increase for departmental programs and services. The following . infonnation will corroborate our efforts to analyze our present fee schedule, research potential new sources of revenue, and clarify our conclusion. LEISURE SERVICES ADMINISTRATION: In September 1998, the Board of County Commissioners approved an agreement with the S1. Lucie County School District that transferred the programming responsibilities and operational costs of the Lawnwood football stadium to the Department of Leisure Services. Because of the short amount of time between the County's assumption of stadium operations and the first football game, (3 days), staff felt obligated in continuing to impose the same stadium rental policies that had been previously utilized by the school board. The rental rate applies to all non-public school athletic events and falls into two categories: a $600.00 nighttime rate (lights provided) and a $400.00 daytime rate (no lights). Inasmuch as the public schools were not charged a rental fee for use of the stadium, St. Lucie County retained all box office and food concession revenues during all public school events. Based on 9 varsity level events, box office revenue averaged $3,063.00 per varsity contest. Now that programming and staffing needs per contest are better known, staff is of the opinion that the stadium rental rates should be looked at more closely in the Spring, with the idea that a slight adjustment is probably warranted. -Continued- I,. Anderson Memo/Revenues 12/29/98 Page 2 ~ PARKS DIVISION: Please be advised that on December 21, 1998, after surveying several surrounding counties and local citizens, a presentation was made to the Recreation Advisory Board in reference to proposed boat ramp fees. I. Staffs findings in reference to the boat ramp fees is that the community of boat users voiced their opinion that they should not be charged for facilities they have been using for many years and -on which they are already paying taxes. II. The current boat ramps are in need of repair and upgrading. III. The current boat ramps cannot accommodate the larger boats that are being used in this area. IV. After reviewing other municipalities fee structures, we found that Indian River County, Martin County, and Palm Beach County do not have boat ramp fees nor any plans to implement them. The above mentioned items are several reasons why fees should not be initiated on our older boat ramps. It is staffs recominendation, that ifnew revenues are to be generated, that it should be at the new boat ramp facilities such as the Fort Pierce Inlet State Recreation area or the potential Harbour Point site. ...J In summary, staff recommends that we do not initiate ramp fees on our older existing boat ramps, but consider implementing a schedule of fees on any new boat ramp facilities in the future. SPECIAL FACILITIES DIVISION: ,- Marine Safety & Aquaticš Special Facilities has completed a comparative analysis of all Florida East Coast Counties, with the assistance of the United States Lifesaving Association, Florida Beach Chiefs Association and the Florida Recreation and Parks Association. Shared observations were that beach parking assessments were implemented in areas with higher population levels as in all metropolitan jurisdictions from Palm Beach County through Dade and that less frequented ocean front parks from Martin County through Femadina Beach favored open parking to encourage visitations. When apprized on staffs research into the feasibility of a beach parking assessment, the general ..",, -Continued- ~ Anderson Memo/Revenues 12/29/98 Page 3 consensus of the Recreation Advisory Board was that the spill over effect, ie.; monies spent on gas, food and lodging in the area were more substantial than parking revenues and that they in fact might deter tourism. Several logistical situations that would need to be addressed if directed to proceed with implementation of a beach parking assessment are approval from the State of Florida through amendment to the (50) fifty year lease executed October 31, 1984 on North Hutchinson's Pepper Park and a negotiated agreement with the City of Fort Pierce as to equitable disbursement of parking revenue for the (3) three Fort Pierce owned beaches we currently staffwith Marine Safety Officers. Staffhas explored the feasibility of an entry level assessment of25¢ for the North County Pools ie.; Paradise Pool located at 2020 Juanita Avenue and Open Space Pool located at 1211 Avenue M. In order to implement staff levels at both pools during seasonal operational hours May through September would need to be increased by a minimum of (1) one to properly supervise sign in sheet and cash flow procedure. Cost of these add to staffs would negate revenue projections. ~ Civic Center Civic Center rates/fees were reviewed in Summer of 1998 amended and implemented on September 22, 1998. To increase again would decrease Facility marketability. Staff is currently exploring additional revenue streams for tentative implementation in Summer 1999 ie.; co-promotion concert ventures, sale of advertising rights and sponsorship listings on the anticipated constnlction of a message center on the site of the existing marque. Savannas Camp Ground The Savannas Camp Ground and Recreation area is currently in year three (3) 98/99, of a rate and fee structure implemented in FY 96/97 and scheduled for continued increases through 99/2001. The progressive increases over the (5) five year plan were designed to decrease the general fund operations subsidy to a break even point. Any additional assessments prior to the projected upgrades to campground sites, restrooms, infrastructure and access roads could adversely effect bookings. S1. Lucie County Sports ComplexfThomas J. White Stadium In Fall of '98 Leisure Services completed a staff analysis of all operations practices/procedures, \.... programming and accompanying revenues with the assistance of Florida State League, -Continued- Anderson Memo/Revenues 12/29/98 Page 4 ..,J the Florida Facility Managers Association and the International Association of Assembly Managers. Recommended changes were presented to Board of County Commissioners on September 22, 1998, approved and implemented on November 11, 1998. To revisit for additional increases at this time would adversely impact the facility's target marketability. RECREATION DIVISION: On January 1, 1997, new fees and charges went into effect through the Board of County Commissioners approval of County Resolution 96-236. A copy of the approved fee schedule is attached. Since the new fee schedule was implemented, we have seen a decline in the rental of park facilities and, as a result, would recommend that the current fee schedule remain unchanged. CONCLUSION .~ Since 1996, the Leisure Services Department has periodically reviewed its fee schedule for local recreational programming and services. Adjustments have been made in some areas where an increase in rates & charges could be justified. However, considering the existing condition of many of our facilities, additional increases in programming and service fees would be ill advised. Staff recommends that no new fees be implemented or existing fees increased at the present time, with the understanding that all Leisure Services fees and charges will continue to be reviewed on a periodic basis, and if warranted, recommendations to adjust the fee schedule will be brought before the Board. ,- Attachments: 1.

Research focuses on the Indian River Lagoon and the offshore waters of Florida's east central coast, with comparative studies throughout coastal Florida. The Station is part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC and serves as a field station which draws up to 100 top scientists and students each year ftom the Smithsonian and collaborating institutions around the world. These scientists investigate the plants and animals in the ocean and Indian River Lagoon and the physical processes associated with these habitats, Information uncov- ered at the Marine Station is published in scientific journals and forms the basis for effective public policies, conservation efforts, sustainable resource management and enlightened development pat- terns. The Smithsonian marine station hosts a vigorous research program with emphasis on the biodiversity, life histories, and ecology of marine organisms. At present, there are 20 active programs in progress. Six of these projects focus on biodiversity researc on organisms such as algae and seagrasses, snails, echinoderms, hermit crabs, and isopod, decapod and stomatopod crustaceans, Life history studies include investigations of the developmental patterns of copepods, the life history strategies of crabs, and the biology of sea urchins. Another major focus of life history studies is on the biology ofbue crab larvae and the collection of data on larval migration into the Indian River Lagoon as affected by seasons, tides, winds, and currents, Long term ecological studies are continuing on foraminifera, and on parasitology in snails, crabs, and protists. Studies of the impact of solar UV on aquatic plants and the role of prostaglandin-like compounds on marine plant photosynthesis and respiration are also underway: The facilities at the Smithsonian Marine Station include labQratories for histology, electrophoresis, DNA and chemistry, a photographic darkroom, a small industrial shop, and offices and labs for individual scientists. Specialized equipment includes flow-through and recirculating sea water systems, temperature-controlled aquaria and incubators, equipment for preparing tissues for light and electron microscopy, centrifuges, an ultra-cold fteezer, equipment for electrophoresis studies, thermo cycler for DNA analyses, and a UV -visual spectrophotometer. The Smithsonian Marine Station is dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge in the marine sciences, Over 400 scientific publications have come ftom the research at the Station. Most of these contributions have been reports in scientific journals, but they include a superbly illustrated key to the algae and the marine plants of Florida and the Caribbean, an educational video on meiofauna, and a handbook on the echinoderms of Florida and the Caribbean. The Marine Station also contrbutes to the community by participating in local educational displays for the public and school systems. Dr. Mary Rice, Director, participates on the Research & Education Coalition for the Smithsonian. ST. LUCIE COOPERATIVE EXTENSION 8400 Picos Road, Suite 101 Fort Pierce, FL 34945 (561 )462-1660--jfc@gnv.ifas.ufl.edu The mission of the S1. Lucie Cooperatve Extension is to provide scientifically based agriculture, human, and natural resource knowledge that citizens use in making decisions that contrbute to an improved life. The St. Lucie County Cooperative Extension is a partnershp of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), and the St. Lucie Board of County Commissioners, Research-based information is provided by the University of Florida IFAS and the USDA. The information is available to the individual, and is presented through public meetings, demonstration projects, tours, personal visits, telephone calls, direct mailings, publi- cations, computer, and mass media. Extension programs are developed to meet specific local needs in the areas of agriculture, natural resources, family and consumer sciences, 4-H and youth development, environmental horticulture and marine science. Volunteer leaders contribute time and skills to help Extension adult and youth pro- grams. Agriculture programs help farmers, ranchers, nurserymen, and agribusiness make the best oflFAS agricultural research information. These programs show how to grow, market, process, and use local farm products, and how to adjust to changing economic conditions. The programs also teach effec- tive soil, water, and energy management in agricultural production. Great emphasis is placed on farm safety, and the use of pesticides. Extension's aim is to protect the Florida environment (especially groundwater quality), while showing producers how to manage pests, select vigorous disease-resis- tant crop varieties, and attain the best production rates by the most economical methods. The multi-county concept of the citrus agent's position is to provide technical expertise, education, and relevant programming information to the citrus growers of Indian River, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties. The agent assumes responsibilities for developing and implementing expanded educational programs with progressive insight into future industry needs. Such programs are fostered towards increased effective cohesiveness of agriculture, the ecosystem, and the environment. Family and Consumer Sciences programs build on the cornerstone traditions of cultivating skills. The program, however, also helps families--men, women, and children--develop the skills necessary to tackle today's life and lifestyle challenges. Five distinct services fall under the Family and Consumer Sciences program: Housing and Home Environment, Family Economic Stability, Food, Nutrition & Health, Strengthening Families, and leadership Development. These Programs seek to help families function on their own strength and to assist indviduals and families to feel confident in coping with the complexities of change. Jim Cummings, the Director, is the designated representative ftom the St, Lucie County Cooperative Extension on the St. Lucie Research & Education Coalition. ST. LUCIE COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT 3150 Will Fee Road Fort Pierce, FL 34982 (561 )462-1692--davidm@stlucieco.gov The mission of the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District is control of nuisance and disease by vectoring arthropods, The area of eastern St. Lucie County is the focus of the agency. The major areas of research and education specialization would be mosquito biology and ecology, marine ecology, wetland ecology, marine geology (biological and geological interaction). The District also manages wetlands and could make those areas available to researchers. The agency is involved in wetlands and mosquito research. Funding for the Distrct is provided by the County Government through a tax millage levied on property, There is some other money generated by grants. The St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District has employed many innovative wetland management techniques to assuage mosquito production. The reduction of mosquito populations by wetland management diminishes the need for chemical insecticides. Lowering chemical use is both cost effective and beneficial to the environment. Along with developing innovative land management techniques, the district has embarked on a land aquisition program. To date, several large tracts of coastal wetlands and adjacent uplands have been acquired and more are in the process of acquisition. Aquisition of land not only makes it easier for the district to maintain management protocols, but also allows for the preservation of acquired wetlands and coastal hammocks in their natural state. An additional benefit of the acquisition program is that the public can use these lands for passive recre- ational purposes such as fishing, birdwatching, and hiking. Fishing docks, bird towers and picnic shelters are planned for the acquired tracts in order to increase their recreational value. The land acquisition program goes far beyond simply controlling mosquitoes. Mangrove swamps and coastal hammocks are very important'to the well being of the Indian River Lagoon system. Their preserva- tion will aid in preserving the ecological function of the lagoon, maintaining its value as an important resource for the region, The mosquito control district also has an educational outreach component. They have worked with Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution in establishing a program for elementary children. This project introduces students to the dynamics of mangrove swamps and their importance to the la- goonal ecosystem, Another program with Florida Power & Light introduces small children to beaches, sea turtles, and coastal wetlands. Through science fair projects and classroom visits, they have interacted with a number of older students. They also give presentations to church and civic groups on the many aspects of mosquito biology and lagoon ecology. David Mook is the designated representative on the St. Lucie Research & Education Coalition. ST. LUCIE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 532 North Means Court Center, Room 208 Fort Pierce, FL 34981 (561 )468_5241--huetenn@plato.stlucie.k12.fl.us The mission of the St. Lucie County School District is to enable all students to graduate from safe and caring schools equipped with knowledge, skills, and the desire to succeed. The St. Lucie School District has more than 28,000 students and operates five high schools, six middle schools, and 23 elementary schools. Through the office of Vocational and Applied Technol- ogy with the School District, there is the opportunity for students to gain work experience while still in high school. This program is called Tech Prep. Tech Prep Academy Programs provide an exciting and innovative approach to education and fulfill, in a unique way, the need for students to choose a program of study that correlates their educational goals with their career aspirations. The goal of the Tech Prep/School-To-Work Program is to prepare students to succeed in college and in the workplace by raising the academic achievrnent of all students. For students, it provides a solid foundation in academics and applied technology; for employers, this initiative creates a bright pros- pect for well-trained employees who will be prepared to enter the work-force with a competitive advantage. Academy Programs are based on the practical application of skills and knowledge at all levels of ability. Academy Programs are designed to serve those students who wish to prepare for a career in one of the following clusters: Agriscience, Business and Office, Medical, Sales and Marketing, Trade and Technical, or a Public Service related career after coinpleting: 1. a two-year Associate Degree Program, or 2. a technical Certificate Program, or 3. a Postsecondary Adult Vocational Career Training Program. Each Tech Prep Academy program: · consists of a sequential program of study that integrates vocational & academic competencies; · uses business/industry advisory boards for developing the curriculum, validating student competencies, designing learning labs, serving as employers or mentors and providing support services. · consists of rigorous course work which prepares students for postsecondary education; · provides an opportunity for students to receive the Florida Gold Seal Endorsement on their high school diploma and become eligible for a scholarship. Mark Hueter, Director of Vocational & Applied Technology is the St. Lucie County School District representative on the Research & Education Coalition, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE HORTICULTURAL RESEARCH LABORATORY 2120 Camden Road/2001 South Rock Road Orlando, FL 32803/Fort Pierce, FL 34945 (407)897 -7337 --mbausher@magicnet.net The mission of the laboratory is to: a) Develop new control methods for insect pests of citrus and other subtropical fiuits and vegetables; b) Conduct basic physiological, biochemical, and pathologi- cal research on postharvest problems of horticultural crops; c) Develop new citrus scion and root- stock varieties that have enhanced tolerance to environmental stress, resistance to diease and pests, improved fiuit quality and yield; d) Conduct research on bacterial, fungal, nematode, and viral diseases of subtropical crops to improve crop production; e) Develop alternative solutions to envi- ronmental stresses that cause losses in crop growth, survival, and production; f) Develop alternatives for methyl bromide fumigation. Operations at the new $35 million facility are expected to begin around June 1999, however some employees are already working in St, Lucie County housed i~ temporary facilities at Fort Pierce Westwood High School and sharing space at the University of Florida, Indian River Research & Education Center. Currently, in Orlando, there are 21 scientists and 140 support personnel working. By the time those people are relocated there may well many additional positions created. There is speculation that the USDA will consolidate several other programs to Fort Pierce once the facility is completed. Major areas of research conducted will be: plant genetics, breeding, entomology, plant physiology, plant pathology, and horticulture of agricultural crops. The opportunity for cooperation and collaboration with the other participants of the coalition are significant. There is already joint projects with the University ofFlorida/IFAS, the St. Lucie County Schools, Indian River Community College, and the Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce. The USDA Horticultural Research Laboratory has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Smithsonian Marine Station to develop a joint-use electron microscope facility for collaborative research and use of equipment. This electron microscope facility will be located at the Smithsonian Marine Station's new laboratory and the USDA is arranging to place instruments there. Scientists from both organizations will have equal access to the microscopes. Dr. Michael Bausher of the USDA is the designated participant on the St. Lucie Research & Educa- tion Coalition. USDA NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE 8400 Picos Road, Suite 202 Fort Pierce, FL 34945 (561 )461-4546--dsmith@f1.nrcs.usda.gov The mission of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is to provide leadership and administer programs to help people conserve, improve, and sustain our natural resources and environment. Currently the primary function of the USDA-NRCS is to carty out the activities of the 1996 Farm Bill, such as the EQIP program. These activities are carried out with local input, specifically, the priorities are set by the St. Lucie Soil & Water Conservation District (SLSWCD) Board of Supervisors. Most recently, the priorities of the SLSWCD have been to alleviate the rresh water attenuation to the Indian River Lagoon and to have good quality surface water available for irrigation and other uses. Most of the efforts of the agency have been in the form of lobbying and public education. ' In the past, NRCS in St. Lucie County has taken advantage of certain USDA programs that allow for studies to be performed. In 1993, the agency published the Indian River Lagoon Agricultural Land- Use Inventory and Discharge Study and in 1996 the Indian River Lagoon Cooperative River Basin Study. Due to staff and funding limitations, USDA-NRCS rarely performs research on its own. However, NRCS has an unique advantage in supplementing research on-going by other entities. There are five areas in which this agency can be of assistance, most of the time: · By providing detailed soils information and soil maps of study areas, · By providing detailed land survey of study areas including topographic maps & NGVD elevations of såmpling points. · By performing inventories, including the number of acres of various crops or irrigation systems in the county, · By providing equipment as the budget allows. · By publicizing the need for the research or preliminary results of the research through a public information program. Donna Smith is the designated representative rrom the USDA-NRCS participating on the St. Lucie Research & education Coalition.
