Abstract/Description
-
The purpose of this study was to determine what budgetary costs and revenues the City of Boca Raton would incur if municipal jurisdiction and services were extended to a 10,100 acre tract of land located to the west of the city. The projections of costs and revenues were made for both the present level of development and for the area at full development. The conclusion of the study is that should annexation occur, revenues from the Reserve Area would equal or exceed the costs of providing...
Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine what budgetary costs and revenues the City of Boca Raton would incur if municipal jurisdiction and services were extended to a 10,100 acre tract of land located to the west of the city. The projections of costs and revenues were made for both the present level of development and for the area at full development. The conclusion of the study is that should annexation occur, revenues from the Reserve Area would equal or exceed the costs of providing municipal services at both levels of development. Early annexation would result in increased revenues from construction related permits and fees.

Arsenic is a known carcinogen, but is persistent in the environment, remaining a popular pesticide. It represents a particular hazard to humans when it stays resident in shallow soils and groundwater. This study of contaminant hydrogeology examined conditions at a former golf course in Florida with known arsenic contamination, and included a detailed examination of existing assessment data for the study area, an experimental pumping test with groundwater sampling, examination of sediment...
Show moreArsenic is a known carcinogen, but is persistent in the environment, remaining a popular pesticide. It represents a particular hazard to humans when it stays resident in shallow soils and groundwater. This study of contaminant hydrogeology examined conditions at a former golf course in Florida with known arsenic contamination, and included a detailed examination of existing assessment data for the study area, an experimental pumping test with groundwater sampling, examination of sediment cores, and a preliminary geophysical investigation. The primary purpose was to determine what the existing controls are on As mobility. The primary findings were that redox conditions did have an effect on As concentrations. Groundwater in the study area is generally reducing, but during the pumping test was generally oxidizing. No potential As sources were definitively identified, and the most likely source remains anthropogenic, but interactive conditions with Fe, Mn, NO3-N, and S remain nebulous.
