low oxygen levels. The recovery water quality data will provide information necessary to obtain an operational permit
from the FDEP. The North Port the cooperative funding agreement, Phase V, for FY2009 is in effect. Groundwater
sampling and testing from monitor wells are ongoing. An FDEP UIC permit modification has been applied for to reduce
the frequency of sampling during the standby period. The water quality has returned to ambient conditions and the ASR
well flow has been shut off. The consultant is working on the coordination and engineering of the degasification
equipment.
ACTION-TO-DATE: Delayed. The project has been delayed as noted in the status above. An information request
concerning the Accelerate Florida Program was mailed to the cooperator on October 15, 2008. District follow-up email on
January 12, 2009 prompted an email from Jennifer Desrosiers, North Port Business Manager, January 29, 2009. She
sent a spreadsheet of preliminary action plans for projects with District funding. She states that she is eager to accelerate
North Port projects. Specific to this ASR project she says "This project is being monitored pursuant to our SWFWMD
contract and we are awaiting the results of the pre-treatment study being conducted at the Bradenton ASR project site to
remove dissolved oxygen and other oxidants from the injection water to mitigate the arsenic problem."
