Bradford, Villaqe Manaqer �� DATE: September 1, 1994 SVBJECT: ENCON Tequesta Peninsnla Septfc Tank Study; Aqeada Ites In light of Mayor Mackail's report concerning the Auqust ENCON Board Meetinq, I believe we are forced to conclude the followiaq: 1) ENCON�s actions are such that they may seek Tequesta to participate in funding of this Stndy. 2) ENCON intends for there to be no meaninqful role for our citizens from thcse neighborhoods affected bp the proposed Septic Tank Study. To date, ENCON has selected the consultinq engineer to.undertake the work effort. Additionallp, without any indication to the Villaqe as to its make-up, ENCON has created a Technical Advisory Committee via its consultinq engineers to direct the work of the chosen consultinq firm. It is feared that the members of the Technical Advisory Committee may have predetermined opinions on this issue. Finally, ENCON has made no formal indication as to its methodology, outline or approacb to this Septic Taak Study. 3) ENCON is not willinq to co�aait to the gravity sever system in the event that pollution enoonntered in the River is attributed to Tequesta septic tanks and cannot bes cbrrected. This flies in the face of the ENCON Governinq Board previous conunitments relative to provision of qravity sewers within the Tequesta area. i recall certain Board Members statinq that gravity sewer systems t�ould be the 'seweraqe eystem of first- choice" for tbe Tequesta area fa the event that ENCO�i were to chocse to move forward with installation of c�ntralized sever systems. � � P� � KBKO: Villag• Council � Page 2— M�M��N Based upon the foreqoinq, it is my recommendation that we write a letter to ENCOtd indicatinq the followinq: 1) In liqht of the foreqofnq, Tequesta is.unable to endoree or participste in your Tequesta Septic Tank Study and, accordinqly, does not recognize the same. 2) By virtue of ENCON's failure to accept the conditions put forth by the Villaqe of Tequesta, any recommendations of such Septic Tank Study shall be of no value to the Villaqe of Tequesta and its findinqs and recommendations relative to centralized seweraqe systems shall be ignored since nothinq causes us to adhere to its findinqs. � 3) In the event that the ENCON Septic Tank Study recommends a centralized seweraqe system found to be unacceptable to the people of Tequesta it will be fought agqressively at each and every step in the process should ENCON choose to pursue tbe same. 4) Sugqest the Mayor and Board Chairman of ENCON meet one on oae in a last attempt to reverse this course. � Copies of Mayor Mackail•s correspondence to ENCON and their responses to the same are attached for your review in your efforts to prepare an adequate response to the actions of ENCON.

We are eacouraged by pour Board'a decision to apperently withdraw your penait application fQr a low- pressure sewer system within any portion of Tequesta. Accordinqlp, our response to your request has been ameaded as appears below. At the request of your Executive Director made at a meetiaq with our Villaqe Manaqer on April 14, 1994, the Villaqe Manaqer sougbt Village Council direction reqardinq Tequesta participation in a proposed ENCON Septic Tank Study at the Village Couacil Meeting on April 14, 1994. The Villaqe Council responded that their wieh was for Tequesta to be involved in the ENCON Septic Taak Studp by solicitinq the direct involvement of citizeas from each area potentially i.mpacted bp the installation of a sewer system. A copp � of the Villaqe Manaqer's correspondeace of April 19, 1994, advisinq your Executive Director of the Village Council's preferences in this reqard, ia attached for your�reviev. subsequeat to our April 14th Villaqe Council 1�Ieetinq, �tillage staf! has identified representatives freaa each potentially impactad neighborhood that wish to be involved in ENCON's Septic Tank Study. Siiice ENCON has authorized the enqagement of an eaqineeriaq fir� to prepare a specificatian for the study aad ia prepared to compensate (�63, 000 ) the enqiaeerinq fis�a to nndertaYe such efforts, Tequesta sponsorship of the study appear8 to entail an endorse�ent of aad participation in the same. l�vcte.� P,�n • ' Pag• 2- ��N we believe that if the tollowinq conditions are n�et, Tequesta could endorse and that the septic tank itudy could be eonsidered, 'Tequeste sponeored": 1) ENCON funds 100t ot the specificetion for the study and 100t of the study itaeli. 2) The citizens volunteerinq from the ettected neiqhborhoods ars quaranteed an active and meaninqful role �n the entirs studp proceas, in addition to the preparation of th� speeification for the study. 3) In the event that the study demonstrates conclusively thnt a substantial neqative impact to the Loxahatchee River is directly caused by septic taAks located solely within Tequesta, and such problems cennot be corrected, then, in keepinq with ENCON's previous public commitments in this reqard, a more traditional and acceptable alternative to the low-pressure sewer system, installed and funded by ENCON, shall be the aqreed upon alternative for mitiqation if a centrelized sewer system is recommended to address substantial neqative impacts attributed soleiy to septic tanks located within Tequesta, and problems from which cannot be corrected. Lastly, please be advised that Tequesta's Comprehensive Development Plan does not call for a septic tank study under the conditions pou have refereaced. Tequesta, however, is willinq to sponsor ENCON's funded study under the conditions referenced in the name of qood interqovernmental coordination which is an important element of Tequesta�s Comprehensive Developmeat Plaa. We look forward to workinq toward a cooperative arranqement to study the problems of the Loxahatchee River alleqed bp ENCON and to rectify anp significant neqative fiadinqs in an acceptable manner as referenced.herein. We would appreciate receivinq any and all documentation ia the possessioa of ENCON regardinq your alleqatioa that the Loxahatchee River does not meet state sta.ndarda. Sincerely, .Q�. �. �� - .

A year a9o, that committee recommended that the Oistrict develop additional technical information and get a better understanding of public perception before proceeding with this pollution prevention p�o9ram.

Mr. Dent provided respo�ase to this request, revie�ing the . "segments" of the river, and data provided by STO�tET to date. An information package was provided to the cou�ittee members which included a map of the sampliag locations ia the rives . basin, with a description of the locatioa and the parameters monitored, a.nd also included var3ous tables developed to isolate specific pollution sources. Analysis was coaducted first, by co�aparison cf the 8istoric water Quality Means for each of the 5 river segmeats, aad for nine parameters. . The neat analysis identifted the 3•worst' quality statioas ot the nine most sa:apled locations oa t.�e river.
