letter to Mayor Martino encouraging Palm Beach Gardens

r
On September 18, 1991 the Palm Beach Post printed a letter
® from a resident of Palm Beach Gardens in which the writer asks
"Has any laypayor evaltiaLeyd Lhe $100 million bond issue to
purchase land desirable only to the environmentalist ?"
This question struck me as unusual because I had always
thought that everybody lives in the environment, not just
"environmentalists." Thin question does raise the thought though
that we a1L, environmentalists and non - environmentalists alike
had better care about the environment in which we live and which
gives us life. We had better care about the condition of the
food we eat,, the air we breathe and the water we drink.
It seems to me that potable water is the major reason
for not developing Ecosite #109. whether we be environmentalists
or simply those who live in the environment, we all drink water.
Every state and local agency that has an interest in our
City's proposed land use amendment known as B.1 has raised a
number of objections to it, with one exception, but all expressed
serious concern about the water supply. The one exception was
the Jupiter Inlet District. It limited its objection to just
the subject of water which is what I am going to do now.
In a letter to Mr. Charles Edwards, Chairman of the Board
of Regents Mr. Michael Grella, Executive Director of the Jupiter
Inlet District indicates that the inflow of fresh water from
C -18 and the Northwest Pork of the Loxahatchee River into the
Central Embayment protects against salinity levels and upstream
intrusion. He goes on to say "Any upstream development that
will adversely impact freshwater inflow, such as the Florida
Atlsntac University (FAU) satellite campus site proposea in
coniunct.on with the City of Palm Beach Gardens Plan Amendment
B.1, should be carefully scrutinized."
In its report to the Department of Community Affairs dated
September 4, 1991, the South Florida Water Management District
on page 2 says "She amendment lacks a necessary demonstration
that adequate potable water can be made available over time
for the proposed land use change. The Integrated Water Resources
Plan offered in this amendment relies on five major assumptions
Page 1
of future water availability. These assumptions lack technical
support. One assumption is that the existing service provider,
Seacoast Utility Authority, c,n expand existing wellfic -Ms and
establish a new wellfleld to meet future demands. District
studies show that existing Seacoast operations are already
adversely impacting wetlands adjacent to the Loxahatchee Slough."
On page 5 of the same report ir further reference to the water
supply it says "This current usage already exceeds the sum of
the 1994 demand projections in the Comprehensive Plans for all
Seacoast Utility members (Lake Park, North Palm Beach, Juno
Beach, Palm beach Gardens, and the unincorporated portion of
Palm Beach County which includes the annexation under
consideration)."
The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council in its report
by its staff dated August 16, 1991 says, starting on page 20
"It appears that the increased demand resulting from this
amendment would greatly exceed the current daily withdrawal
permitted by the SFWMD." On page 32 the Report continues: "To
justify a land use change of this magnitude, a sufficient supply
of water should be available to meet irrigation and potable
water demands .... It should .... be demonstrated that the
provision of water to this area will not adversely impact the
Levels of service of other local governments within the service
area. Information has not been provided which indicates that
a sufficient supply c-f water is ,iailable."
Paragraph 6 in '_he Report to DCA from The Florida Department
of Environmental Regulation dated September 4, 1991 expresses
its concern about the " ava_lability of potable water supplies"
and the "dangers of over - pumping of the shallow aquifer which
could lead to a drop in water table levels and lake levels."
The DCA in its findings dated October 21, 1991 regarding
the City's proposal says: "The analysis (provided by Palm Beach
Gardens) does not identify the ability of the Surficial acquifer
to provide sufficient amounts (of) water to serve the proposed
development and development proposed in the comprehensive plans
® of the other local governments within the Authority's service

area.
The Loxahatchee Slough area is -a special• area for many
reasons which &ie; deal's wiLii in depth in the reports from the
several agencies mentioned. But this area should be special
not just to the environmentalists but to all of us who care
about and live in the environment and enjoy drinking water.
In your letter of September 4, 1991 to the County
Commissioners Mr. Mayor, you offered your " complete and sincere
cooperation in the county's effort to purchase fourteen (14)
sites identified as environmentally sensitive lands in the
successful March 12, 1991 ballot referendum. More particularly,
there are three referendum identified ESL sites in Palm Beach
Gardens." One of these sites, as you know, is Ecosite #109,
the Loxahatchee Slough area. I hope that you will live up to
this commitment and make every effort to assist the County to
purchase this land that is vital to all of us and thus help
resolve a :serious problem.
Please Mr. Mayor, work to protect our City's water supply
rather than persist on a course that will risk its depletion.
