the RLF's interest.

public hearings. Ail construction projects will require approval
from the State Historical Preservation office to assure that no
historic properties or archaeological factors are affected.
Projects which have potential liquid or harmful waste will be
required to obtain a letter of approval from the Department of
Environmental Protection. In addition, all construction projects

ordinance of Collier County or other applicable law, the more
restrictive shall apply. If any phrase or portion of this
