EXHIBIT "A"

INTRODUCTION
[New Language, page 1]
The Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub-Element establishes the manner in
which Collier County will identify and protect the natural groundwater aquifers that serve
as the primary sources of drinking water for County residents and visitors. This Sub-
Element relates only to those aquifer recharge areas located in unincorporated Collier
County that serve as potable water wellfields.
The Implementation Section of this Sub-Element contains a single Goal. divided into five
(5) Obiectives. Beneath each Objective are the specific County implementing policies.
The water supply protection Obiectives in this Sub-Element include:
. Mapping and delineation of natural aquifer recharge areas:
. Protection of groundwater quality:
. Groundwater quality monitoring:
. Public education with regard to groundwater protection issues: and.
. Protection of critical recharge areas and groundwater resources.
Goal, Objectives and Policies
Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub-Element
GOAL 1:
[Number Removed, page 1]
THE COUNTY SHALL IDENTIFY AND PROTECT NA TURAL
GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE AREAS FROM ACTIVITIES THAT
COULD DEGRADE AND/OR CONTAMINATE THE QUALITY OF
GROUNDWATER.
OBJECTIVE t-.l: (MAPPING AND DELINEATION OF RECHARGE AREAS)
[Renumbered, revised text, page 1]
The County shall continue to On a bianm:lal basis, beginning in October 1998, review
every two years. and revise fas necessarY1, existing map delineations of recharge areas
County potable water wellfields that are most sensitive to contamination from nearby
land development and other surface activities. The biennial review and any subsequent
map revisions will be based on geologic, hydrogeologic, hydrologic, and updated
anathropogenic anthropogenic contaminant data aggregated during since the previous
biennil:lffi revision.
