currents, winds and tides which could have serious, dangerous and harm-
ful effects on marine life within the tidal and off-shore waters of
the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida, and
WHEREAS, the citizens and City Commission of the City of Atlantic
Beach, Florida, have deep concern not only in regards to marine life,
but also in regards to the affect of depositing such waste matter so
close to the shores of the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida, thus per-
haps causing harm to human life, and
WHEREAS, the United States Department of the Interior has recom-
mended aaainst building any such ocean outfalls, and the National
Water Quality Act requires that applications for them may not even be
considered unless approved by the States, and
WHEREAS, initially, the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control
Board rejected such a proposal, and
WHEREAS, the President , s Council on Environmental Quality has
specified that ocean dumping of sludge "should be phased out and no
new sources allowed", and

to be put into force as it "is an improvement on what is now being
done
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMr SSION OF THE CITY OF

That a copy of this Resolution be sent to Colonel A. S. Fullerton,
District Engineer for the United States Army Engineers, that he
may be appraised of the attitude of this Commission and the peo_'le
of Atlantic Beach. The economic consideration balanced against
ecological aspects should be taken into consideration and a method
of disposal be found that would be acceptable to the President's
Council on Environmental Quality, as well as other agencies charg-
ed with the protection of the environment, and that all necessary
steps be taken to nulify any recommendation which has been made in
regards to the plan of building two ocean outfalls .
