Engineer
Mr. Matthews stated I understand there were some questions regarding the possibility of doing some lake recharge from surficial aquifer wells and I am happy to give you the experience we have in this area and explain the process if that is the pleasure of the Board.
Mr. Vogt stated this was t,asically because the lakes and some of the shallow pieces were dry for two months of this year. It made sense to talk about a recharge well that we could use to flow water from the top of the property down through all the CDD areas to keep everything wet.
Mr. Matthews stated as you probably know all the water in South Florida is managed by the South Florida Water Management District whether it be deep well water from the Floridan Aquifer, surlicial water, which I think you are referring to as the  shallower  aquifer,  lakes, streams and rainwater. They control it all. Any ability to put a recharge well  ih the  property would have to be permitted through the water management district. The water  management district has steadily denied requests for recharge wells for purposes of replenishing lakes and things of that nature, especially in this area. We are adjacent to a couple rivers; you also have some wetlands that are within the boundaries that the surficial aquifer would actually impact.

We would have to do a very rigorous study to make sure that your  water withdrawal  doesn't affect any of those issues. It is a long, lengthy process.
Mr. O'Connor asked is your experience golf courses try to do this?
Mr. Matthews stated golf courses most likely go down to the Floridan Aquifer, which is 1,000 to 1,250 feet down, very deep, very expensive wells. Most golf courses like this one, uses reuse water from the City of Port St. Lucie's treated wastewater, it is piped in and a lot of the  green areas you see here are irrigated through reuse water. You can't put reuse water  into  a natural lake. Part of the problem with permitting and getting South Florida to buy off on  a surficial use of water is that you are using it in the months that you have the highest rate of evaporation so you are losing 30% before you even see it. Florida has a  natural  dry wet  cycle, our wetlands are used to that, it is something they experience throughout the entire lifetime  so  it is not unusual to see wetland areas be dry for a few months du.ring the dry season and be inundated in the wet season. The last time that we tried to do a surficial well recharge of a lake system one of the comments they gave back to us was that it was a selfish use of a natural  resource that was at a commodity in the State of Florida.
If that is something you would like us to explore and spend a  little time doing it, we can but we don't see there being a high probability of success.
Mr. O'Connor asked do we have any ponds that are fed by a natural spring?
Mr. Matthews responded no, we do not. We have Blakeslee Creek  on the north side, but we are kind of segregated and discharge to Blakeslee Creek, this development goes through the giant weir and that is the discharge to Blakeslee Creek. Blakeslee goes into North Fork and if North Fork rises, Blakeslee rises you may see backwater into this system from it,  but  I  have never seen it. We are the engineers that designed the infrastructure and have  been with this  project since the beginning.
Mr. O'Connor stated I have heard certain sales associates refer to one of these ponds out here as naturally fed by a spring underground. That would be false.
Mr. Matthews stated I can't claim that I don't know the answer to that. At  some  point there were a couple of free-flowing wells that were used for agriculture and as far as I know the few that were in the area if there were any they have to be capped.  They  were not allowed  to  stay open.
