2. Periodically apply the treated wastewater effluent to an additional land site.
3. Periodically allow the treated wastewater to enter a surface water body such as Lake Dora.
Commr. Windram questioned if the effluent could be placed within the city limits.

Dr. Farmer informed the Board the Lake County Pollution Control Board passed a Resolution on July 12, 1982, recommending the County Commissioners declare an emergency situation and that relief from land use restrictions be granted.
Mr. Wicks recommended the Board assist in alleviating the problem in looking for other areas on a short-term, non-permanent basis. He stated this would enable the City to rest the ponds at the site on 19A. He stated he would recommend the County review the situation periodically and should there be impacts on the property in use, then other alternatives could be reviewed.
Commr . Carson informed the Board and audience he had received a petition from residents requesting the effluent not be pumped into Lake Dora.
On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried, the Board approved to support the Resolution as adopted by the Lake County Pollution Control Board on July 12, 1982 and declared an emergency situation and that an alternative, temporary site needed to be found to dispose the excess effluent and that the sites be acceptable to the regulatory agencies (DER, Pollution Control Board, etc.).
