Vote thrills




supporters


Local and power group officials
were ecstatic about Tallahassee's
overwhelming vote to participate
in the planned $1.5 billion coal-
fired power plant in Taylor County.
Nearly 60 percent or 19,997
Tallahassee voters last week said
"yes" to the city's 20 percent
participation in the project.
Taylor County Commission
Chairman Daryll Gunter said he is
looking forward to partnering with
Tallahassee on the plant.
"Tallahassee has always been
important to our area and I look
forward to a closer relationship as
this project progresses. Tallahassee
Mayor John Marks and his city
commission along with the Taylor
County Commission can now work
together to ensure this will be the
best power plant in America,"
Gunter said.
Tallahassee officials, who have
already committed $6.4 million to
the project, said the vote will allow
them to include the Taylor County
plant as an alternative as they
move toward a final decision this
spring.
Those other options include
Tallahassee building its own coal
plant, the continued use of natural
gas and the buying of power from
other utilities.
North Florida Power Project
spokesman Mark McCain said his
group is happy with the
Tallahassee vote.
"We are pleased to have
Tallahassee in the project because
they share the same commitment to
the environment as the other
utilities involved," McCain said.
In addition to Tallahassee's 20

Death investigation on-going


There is still no official ruling in
the death of a 25-year-old Perry
man who was found fatally shot
during the early morning hours of
Sunday, Nov. 13.
Law enforcement officers say it
could take weeks before they are
ready to conclude their
investigation.
Joshua L. Massey's body was
found on Beach Road at


approximately 3:30 a.m. with his
truck still running and headlights
op, according to a witness who
discovered the body.
Taylor County Sheriff L. E.
"Bummy" Williams confirmed
Tuesday that several signs on
Ocean Pond Road had apparently
been hit by Massey just prior to his
death.
Florida Department of Law


Enforcement (FDLE) and Taylor
County Sheriffs Office Inv. Donna
Lee are leading the investigation
into the death of the Perry native.
Lee said last week, "No stone
will be left unturned during this
investigation. It's frustrating for all
parties involved, but reports from
Massey's autopsy, such as a
toxicology, take several weeks to
get back."


Williams also said Tuesday
that one set-back in the case
occurred when one of the
FDLE investigators assigned to the
case was sent to South Florida to
assist with the Hurricane
Wilma devastation.
He added that he expects
investigators to be in town next
week to resume "their part of the
investigation."

Jacksonville-based JEA will own
32 percent, Reedy Creek (a retail
electricity supplier in parts of
Orange and Osceola counties) will

Municipal Power Agency (FMPA)
will own 39 percent.
FMPA is a wholesale supplier to
29 municipal electric utilities
including Gainesville, Alachua,

Opponents

encouraged

by dialogue

While disappointed with the
outcome of Tallahassee's "yes"
vote to coal, local power plant
opponent Diane Whitfield said she
is encouraged by the debate and
dialogue sparked by the issue.
It is that spirit of dialogue she
would like to see re-established
with the Taylor County Board of
Commissioners.
"We have been argued back at,
instead of engaging in dialogue. I
would like to see a workshop
where we can get together and
talk," she said.
As a member of TRUE (Taylor
County Residents United for the
Environment), Whitfield said, "We
are more determined than ever to
have our turn to vote. In the past
week, numerous Taylor County
residents have asked us to allow
them to circulate petitions
requesting commissioners to give
us a local vote."
The vote, she said, would be
about "not wanting it (coal-fired
power plant) in Perry. I would like
to undo what they (the county
commissioners) have
done...rescind their invitation to
the power plant."
Whitfield continued, "It is
troubling that so many people
think the proposed Perry plant is a
sure thing, when of course it isn't.
My hope is that our local
commissioners have learned
something about how this

Collins will serve


county's veterans


After three months, Taylor
County has a new veterans affairs
officer, Joe Collins.
Originally from Albany, Ga.,
Collins has lived in Perry for the
past 31 years. He is a U.S. Navy
veteran and served during the
Korean War.
Collins will fill the position left
vacant when former Veterans
Affairs Officer Scott Nobles


Joe Collins


resigned in August.
According to Collins, his two
priorities are jobs and healthcare.
"Since I'm retired from the
veterans administration, I have
contacts," he said. "I am
determined to serve veterans.
Hopefully'I will be able to bring
something to the table.
"I want to make sure veterans are
aware of the benefits available to
them."
He also said he would like to see
the area veterans groups work
together more.
"That's important to me," Collins
said.
A graduate of the U.S. Navy
Medical School in Bethesda, Md.,
he is a member of the American
Society of Clinical Pathologists
and holds a Florida supervisor's
license in lab work.
Collins is the founder and
director of CHC Labs in Lake City,
where he continues to work part-
time, and has taught at Lake City
Community College. He is also a
member of the Doctors' Memorial
Hospital Board of Directors.


Organizers report "a great turnout" for the 12th annual Public Safety Appreciation Cook Out
held Friday, Nov. 18, at City Park. "This is one of our most favorite events--where we get to
show appreciation to those who serve us," Perry/Taylor County Chamber of Commerce Director
Dawn Taylor said.

at Cracker Homestead


BLUEPRINT
Continued from page 1
Waters reccomended the Cracker
Homestead herein Perry, Griest
said.
The homestead was originally
the Whiddon house, constructed in
1864, and was moved t'q its
present location at the par! in
1972, where its been a highlight
of the museum ever since.
The "Back to the Blueprint"
crew focused its morning on the
corn crib behind the homestead.
The small log building had been
used to store animal feed.
The projects for the day were to
replace a log which was beginning
to rot in the back wall of the corn
crib as well as repair a rafter in its
roof.
Geis talked with Waters and
Dunham about how the scenes
would go and what each would
say.
Dunham has been restoring and
renovating homes since he was 19
and has worked on several Parade
of Home winning houses.
Cameraman Mike Glickman and
sound engineer Al McGuire
prepared their equipment and then
it was time for action.
Several of the scenes were
filmed multiple times with Waters
and Dunham having to repeat their
conversations each time.
At times, they had to retake
scenes when noise from the
highway or nearby businesses
cteeped in.
To replace the old log, the two
first had to use jacks to hoist the
building up so they could pull it
out.
With the replacement log
waiting, Dunham used a chainsaw
on one end and then a hatchet on
the other to create notches
mimicking the one in the old log.
Geis and the film crew hovered
around constantly, finding just the
right angle for each scene,
occasionally trying several before
moving on to the next step.
At one point, Dunham replaced
the notch he had just cut out of
the log with the chainsaw so they
could.redo the scge with a,better,
angle Another time he forgot to

Once the new log was in place, '

gaVe Dunham a tour of the rest of r
the homestead.
"It was funny having to walk .
through the same thing three or
four times," Griest said. "It was
just like a movie.
"I think they thoroughly
enjoyed being here. It was very
nice that they chose us. There
were several places they could
have gone."
The episode with the Cracker ri
Homestead is set to air next spring
on the History Channel.
"Back to the Blueprint" debuted
last November with the first
season including episodes on a
300-year old Saltbox home in

Whitfield stumps for 'clean

OPPONENTS
Continued from page 1
proposed plant would affect the
health, well-being and quality of
life in Perry. The commissioners
voted without much information--
three of them told me they had not
heard anything directly from the

power consortium prior to their
vote. They didn't even know the
difference in pulverized and
gasification plants. They didn't ask
any questions about pollution or


talk to any physicians or scientists
with concerns about particulate
matter or mercury."
The commission seems to be
mainly concerned about the jobs
this plant will create, Whitfield
said, "and if it's all about jobs,
then maybe we need a dialogue
about jobs. When this first came
up, all we heard about was the
need for jobs in Perry. In the four
months since then, we read that
more than 500 jobs with decent
pay and benefits are available right


now.. Then we read that
the (former) Sport-Craft boat
plant is reopening; a huge
marina/development is being built
'on our coast and two new hotels
are also being proposed.
"Why didn't our development
authority think about these jobs
before proposing a major polluter
with only 150-180 jobs?
"Perry could be developed in
other ways...job creation that isn't
polluting."

The 3,200-acre plant site is
located about four miles southeast
of Perry and is bordered by
Highway 27 on the north, just
east of Buckeye.
McCain said now that the
Tallahassee vote is done, the
project partners can move forward
with a complete team in place.
A site access agreement is
expected to be signed before the
end of the year that will allow
workers to get on the land to do
soil borings, wetland assessments
and other studies.
While a "letter of intent" was
signed in September, McCain said
he hopes a more definitive
agreement will be signed "early
next year" for the final purchase of
the property.
The power plant permitting
process is expected to take two


years, so .groundbreaking could
occur in 2008, and commercial
operation could begin in 2012.
During peak construction, the
plant will employ some 1,500
workers. Once in operation, some
180 people will be employed.
The generating unit will produce
800 megawatts of electricity,
capable of serving 400,000
people, McCain said.
Power plant officials have said
that although the facility is
municipally owned and, therefore,
exempt from local property taxes,
they will nonetheless be making
annual contributions to the tax
base here.
Gunter said he, County
Attorney Conrad Bishop and a
Tampa attorney have been meeting
with power group officials to
negotiate what annual
contributions in lieu of taxes the
plant will contribute to the local
coffers. One local official has said
he expects that contribution to be
"in the millions."

A-5 The Taco Times November 23, 2005


For scholarship funds


Rotary, NASCAR team up


-:'-, ,-. .. .. ........... ...
While waiting for the 50th anniversary Florida Forest Festival parade to begin, Queen
Mother Hattie Adams had the opportunity to visit with "Mrs. Tourist" Sonja Sedberry.


The Rotary Club of Perry has
kicked off its annual chance
drawing to raise money for its.
scholarship fund. A new twist has
been added to this event with the
Richard Petty Experience.
"You can win a chance to have
one of the two greatest experiences
with race car driving," Rotarian
Dawn Taylor said.
"Here's what you have a chance
to win--the first is the 'Rookie
Experience' where your hands are
on the wheel, your foot is on the
gas and you're in the driver's seat
for eight laps around the speedway
in a 358-cubic-inch V-8
NASCAR-style racecar that roars


with 600 horsepower. Prior to
driving, students will go through
two elements of safety and
instruction training, in-car and on-
track instruction. After driving
like the 'King,' students will
receive a graduation packet that
includes a time sheet with a
breakdown of each lap driven. The
program is three hours, the
memories last a lifetime."


She continued, "if driving is not
your thing, then the 'Ultimate
Experience' will be. The Richard
Petty Driving Experience is taking
you one step closer to
experiencing firsthand the thrill
and excitement of stock car racing.
Experience a real race from the
passenger's seat. Ride for six to 10
laps, (varies according to track
size), from flag to flag as you
experience side-by-side racing,
drafting, passing, pit stops and
more!"
Tickets for the drawing are
available from Rotary Club
member. The drawing will be held
Dec. 20.


Red Hat float takes Grand Marshal's award


Submitted to the Taco Times
Twenty-seven members of the
Roseheads, Perry's chapter of the
Red Hat Society, met on Saturday,
Nov. 5, at noon at Sisters' Tea
Room. There were 24 Red Hatters
(50 and over), five Pink Hatters
(under 50) and two guests. The
November planning committee
included Cheryl Gregory, Norma
McGuire and Mary Becht.
The Red Hat bell was rung.
Debi Limoges welcomed everyone
to the meeting and began the
discussion of the chapter's award-


winning float by acknowledging
Cheryl Gregory's leadership as
chair of the float committee.
Limoges gave an account of
monies spent to cover the cost of
materials. She reminded everyone
that 2006 dues will be due by Jan.
31, 2006.
Gregory thanked Limoges and
the members for their "kind
words" and explained why she
sought Limoges out as co-chair.
"Debi played a big part on this
committee," said Gregory who
then named all the members who


worked on the float and the many
ways they had contributed to its
success. Queen Mother Hattie
Adams acknowledged that some
non-members had worked on the
float, too. Everyone was
delighted that Cookie Workman's
husband, Holly, had pulled the
float with his red tractor which he
allowed to be decorated with red
and purple. All agreed that he was
a great driver and a "good sport" in
his purple shirt and red hat.
"A special treat was meeting
Mrs. Tourist who is also a Red


Hatter. I'm so glad her hostess,
Linda Gunter, brought her to our
float," stated Adams. She
suggested that the plaque the
group received for earning the
Grand Marshal's award be kept on
display at Sisters' Tea Room. "It
will be enjoyed by more people
here and can be displayed next to
our charter," Adams continued.
Everyone agreed. Photographs
were enjoyed as they were passed
from table to table.
Norma McGuire said the
blessing. Everyone enjoyed


visiting together over a delicious
lunch.
Barbara Patrick reminded all that
the next meeting will be Saturday,
Dec. 3, and she shared thoughts
the December committee had for
this meeting. Final details will be
in the next invitation.
Birthdays for October and
November were recognized.
Mandy Cornelius led everyone in
singing "Happy Birthday" to
Queen Mother Hattie Adams who
was presented a gift in honor of
her 90th birthday, which was Oct.


10. The song, "Wind Beneath My
Wings," was played and dedicated
to Adams who is called the
group's inspiration.
Door prizes were provided by
Norma McGuire, Mary Becht and
Sharon Chase. Winners of the
prizes were Marie Hill, Limoges,
Deborah Cooper, Sharon Neiert,
Bert Sabol and Norma Collins.
Everyone was thanked for
coming and reminded to take the
gifts at each place setting as
members. The gifts were provided
by the November committee.

Mother Mary
Days go by that remind us of you
You touched our hearts and loved us anew
The night lingers and closes in with memories embrace
Our solace is knowing you are now in His grace
We are astounded by our loss a burden so great
Time was not our hero, some were too late.
We now are void'of Mother, lover and friend
Who was to know one such as you, gone like the wind
No more tales of fishing, books, the boys or my new shoes
But the memories, thank you, God, for those we do not lose.
It seems we only had a taste of the joy, love and
laughter you could bring
With your passing come the shadows on a birds wing
There are brighter days ahead for our recovering hearts,
this we know,
Yet at times that goes on for eons, the healing is slow
We miss you here, Mother Mary, our hearts still sore
Though we know you're at peace, we wanted more.

From your loving husband, kids and grandkids
We miss you.

More than 200 soccer players spent the months of
September and October on fields provided by the
Perry Elks Club, participating in games presented by
the Perry Soccer Association (PSA).
From the Under-6 division to the Under-14 division,
PSA players were placed on 28 teams with volunteer
coaches honing the skills of goalies and forwards, or
just reminding the younger set: "our goal's the other
way."
Kay Parker was PSA president this year, assisted by
Carol Wentworth as vice president. "We always need
volunteers and hope interested persons will contact
us." Parker can be reached 584-6438; Wentworth can
be reached at 584-5382.
The PSA, which was established in the early 1980s,
hopes to play its season at the new sports complex next
year, "but we are always thankful for the fields
provided by the Elks Club," said Parker.

Vets park will serve as 'public reminder'


Dear Editor:
I would like to express the
thoughts of many who have served
their country and returned home to
raise a family, and contribute to
society. I would imagine that there
are very few families in Taylor
County who have not been touched
by a family member or friend who

Writer questions

boat ramp logic'
Dear Editor:
It is hard to understand the logic
of a designated Taylor County
Boat Ramp Committee proposing
a boat ramp which would be in
Dixie County. There must be an
area in Taylor County north of
Steinhatchee that could be used as
a boat ramp that would better serve
the Taylor County residents.
In addition to not being in our
county, the suggested site is too far
upstream to be practical. The
boats would put a big strain on all
the docks along' the river just
getting to and from the Gulf. This
boat ramp would require trash
pickup, traffic control as well as a
law enforcement presence.
If you feel as I do, contact your
county commissioners' and let
them know.
Marinelle Pattison,
Taylor County resident


has served their country.
It has suddenly become apparent
that the Veterans Memorial Park is
being built and now the question
is--who will maintain it? This
writer has been a public servant for
most of my life and is aware that
there are high and low priority
items within every governmental
structure and therein rests the
funding. The veterans represent a
group who ask for no personal
recognition.
The Veterans Memorial Park is a
public daily reminder of the price
that has been paid by those who
have served their country. Were it
not for this group nation wide,
there would be no freedom to live
at peace and enjoy the life that we
do. I would remind all that this
park is dedicated to those who died


defending this country as well as
those who survived..It is our duty
as survivors to be sure that their, -
sacrifice is not forgotten. Many of
us returned home as teenagers just
as the veterans of the present war.
These young veterans are the
future of our community and
country.
The price to maintain this park is
a small price to pay when you
consider that no amount of money
can be placed on the lives that have
been and will be lost to make it
possible. This park will also honor
all who serve in the years to come.
If properly funded and maintained
it will be a park that each of us. can
be proud of as well as those who
visit, and pass through our
community. C

What do state constitutions


have to declare about God?


Dear Editor:
Somewhere along the way, the
federal courts and the Supreme
Court have misinterpreted the U.S.
Constitution. How could 50 states
be wrong? After you've reviewed
acknowledgments of God from all
50 state constitutions, one is faced
with the prospect that just maybe
the ACLU and out-of-control
federal courts are wrong. America's
founders did not intend for there to
be a separation of God and state, as
shown by the fact that all 50 states
acknowledge God in their state
constitutions.
God Bless America. A sampling

On behalf of Taylor County
veterans, we would like to extend
our thanks and appreciation for the
events held in honor of Veterans
Day 2005.
From the annual ceremony
hosted by Taylor County High

I find myself in shock and

residents of the city of Perry. It is
as if you are saying "heads up" we

heating bills this winter. I am an
educated person who has kept up .
with the news reports on the
impending price increases for
natural gas; none of the reports.


for organizing the Nov. 11 lunch
program. Mrs. Smith's hard work
and attention to every detail helped
make the event one that will be
long-remembered.
We would also like to recognize
JROTC for the moving Veterans
Day ceremony at the high school
and for their role in the wreath-
laying ceremony at the Taylor
County Courthouse. Special thanks
are also extended to event sponsors

not give the city budget to the local

Letters to the Editor


Is school 'a totalitarian regime?'


Dear Editor:
I would like to take a moment
to inform all parents of public
school children in Taylor County
what their children are being
exposed to in the form of
disciplinary matters. My child
was recently given a referral on the
school bus and upon his mother
and I examining it found it
completely dishonest.
We called to contest the referral
and were immediately given
another long stream of dishonest
remarks until we were finally
granted a conference with the high
school principal and the others
involved. I don't care to get into
the bogus disciplinary matter in
this letter, but would simply like
to pass along some statements'
that were made that are indicative
of how our children are supposed
to "behave at the schools."
When my child was asked to do
something by a bus driver, he
made the huge mistake of
questioning the reasons for the
request. This kind of behavior is
seen as disruptive and must be
punished, even if some of the
details have to be lied about in
order to justify the punishment.
As the high school principal told
my wife and I, our children should
not ever ask "Why?" when asked
to do something. The principal
told us that if he was to ask a
child to do, something and the
child asked "Why?" that the child
would be punished for disrespect'.
He went on to state that even if
the child did ask for reasons that
he would not give them any
reason.


It seems that our children's
purpose while attending school is
l1, l.ili,,i follow the directions of
so called authority figures,
regardless of what is right or
.'r,', mI.l d most assuredly without
in r. .'I for what the child's
parents teach them to do at home.
..Our children are stuck in an
overtly totalitarian regime while
attending school. They are being
.taught to never question the


instructions of anyone who is
"designated" as their superior. I
was asked at one point in the
conference. "if your boss comes in
your office and tells you to do
something, would you ask them
why?" to which I answered, of
course. For one thing how do you
know that what you are doing is
correct without asking questions,

Letters to the Editor


'Two-sided conversations beneficial'


SCHOOL
Continued from page B-3
and-for another there is always the
intention to combine knowledge
and come to a better resolution in
a two-sided conversation.
Unfortunately, our children are
being .shown that the best
approach is not to think for your
self,' and to blindly follow
instructions. This will cause
many students in our schools to
become valuable only as
"workers." They will not be
capable of doing anything more
than to follow the instructions
that someone else gives Them.
Individuality and freethinking will
definitely be discouraged and
eventually non-existent as this
type of control, grows in our
school system:
Here's another example, how
many of you have walked through
the schools lately and heard
teacher's, administrators, etc.
telling the children to "make-the
right choice." Has anyone given
much thought to the question of
who sets the guidelines for what
the right choice is? While.making
the right choice is an individual
matter, the schools seem to use
this as if their rules are the
"choice," and therefore the only
correct answer. To question the
rules or the reason for any
instruction is considered, "making
the wrong choice."
It is unfortunate in these days
and times, but the best- advice to
give our children in these.
situations is to stand up for
themselves and ask for the
reasons. If some adults in,
authority see this as disrespectful,
so be it. It is my job to teach my
children to think for themselves-
.and'to stand up for. themselves,
and if this is a punishable offense
at school then the school can
bring it on. -At the very least I
will know that my children are
being taught to be honest, to
voice their own individual
opinions, and to stand up for their
rights. The concept of honesty
seems to ibe something ,sorelv
lacking in some of our "school
board" employees.
One other comment that was
made in the conference; my wife.
and I were told that be contesting
this referral and setting. up a


'conference that we "were causing
disruption" within the system as
well. Perhaps the schools would


like to punish us for speaking our
mind as well.
Dwayne Searcy


No complaints about JEA


PLANT
Continued from page 2
paint off the imported new cars.
I have lived five miles east of
the JEA plant for the past fourteen
years and have never noticed any
Effects, detrimental or otherwise,
from the plant. Because Perry is
my hometown and I care about the
People and my family I feel I must
share my experiences with the
citizens as I can attest to actual
living conditions and not worst
case scenarios. I know technology
has increased significantly since
the plant in Jacksonville was built
and will only enhance the JEA
plant in Perry.
I would like to commend your'
commissioners for voting for the
JEA Plant. Many times an elected
official has access to facts when
making decisions that others do,
not and those facts are what they
use to determine how they vote.
Perry is a small town, you know
who you voted for. Do you really
think they would knowingly hurt
you? -Again, I admire. the people
who are willing to fight for what
they believe, but are.you a loud
minority. From what I read in.the'
papers I guess I am a part of the
silent majority.
Again, I have brothers, sisters,


parents, children; grandchildren and
an extremely large extended family
located in Taylor County so I do
not take this position lightly.
Respectfully,
Gloria Smith (Parker)


Writer points to
'firm foundation'

GOD
Continued from page 2
political and religious liberty, we
the people of .West
Virginia...reaffirm our faith in and
constant reliance upon God...
History is on afirm foundation
and.cannot be denied. I know there
are a lot of smart people out there
and more people with common
sense out there. Therefore, anyone
with the brain of a gnat would
know, understand and believe there
is God. Any questions? Research
and read your history. Don't just
give your uneducated opinion. Do
your research?
I believe in God, I am a
Christian and I am an American.
Iam,
Ted Colson

FINAL PUBLIC NOTICE
Final notice under Executive Order
11988, Floodplain Management, is
hereby given by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency's
(FEMA) intent to provide Public
Assistance funding to a variety of
projects located within the State of
Florida. Included are projects related
to:
1) The repair and restoration of water
control facilities for the five water
management districts located within
Florida (Northwest Florida. Southwest
Florida, Suwannee River, St. Johnis River.
and South Florida Water Management
Districts). The work may include
dredging of sediment from the canals;
repair, restoration, and stabilization of
canal banks; and the seeding of the
.restored area.
S2) rne r r*.aor r3nd estoratidn,: of
pialground equipme'rr athletic facilities,
boat docks, piers, picnic tables,
restrooms, and the repair 'and
restoration of roads; buildings, and
utilities. These activities will occur in state.
county, or municipally owned park and
recreational facilities located throughout
the state.
3) The repair, restoration, or
replacement of buildings, building roofs,
shingles, doors, windows, shutters, walls,
gutters, fences, gates, signs, awnings,
railings, and includes furnishings and
interior systems such as electrical work.
These activities will occur on state,
county, or municipally owned public
buildings located throughout the state,
4), The repair, restoration, and.
stabilization of road surfaces, bases;
and shoulders, ditches, drainage
structures, bridges, decking, piers,
girders, abutments, slope protection,
and approaches. These activities will
occur on public roads and bridges
throughout the state.
Funds will be provided in accordance
with the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act, Public
Law 93-288. as amended.
Program: Public Assistance, FEMA
Disasters DR-1539-FL, DR-1545-FL, DR-1551-
FL, DR-1561-FL,,DR-1595-FL, DR-1602-FL,
and any other as yet undeclared
Presidential disaster declaration that
may occur during the 2005 hurricane
season.
Sfatement'of Why Action is Located.in
Floodplain: These projects Involve the
repair and restoration of publicly owned
:' facilities damaged during the 2004 and
2005 hurricane season, as discussed
above.. The projects are located within
the floodplain because:
1) Water control facilities are functionally
,dependent on their location, and
therefore are generally located within
mapped 100-year floodplains.
2) Pork and recreational facilities can
be functionally dependent on their
location and therefore be located
within mapped 100-year floodplains.
Other facilities may be utilization of
public facilities within areas that cannot
be developed. In most cases, these
facilities also facilitate open space use.
3) The public buildings will be rebuilt
within the floodplain when there are no
practicable alternatives for moving
them, because they might be
functionally dependent on their location,
or they may help facilitate open space
use.
.4) Roads are connected to roadway
portions outside of the floodplain and
practicable alternatives for moving
them out of the floodplain do not exist.
Bridge oare functionally dependent on
their. location, and therefore located
within mopped 100-year floodplains.
Alternatives Considered: In all cases,
the alternatives to be considered have
been and will be: 1) Repair to pre-
disaster conditions. 2) Repair to pre-,
disaster conditions with mitigation to
minimize impacts during future events. 3)
No action alternative. Where possible,
alternative locations outside of the
floodplain will be examined.
SApplicability of State/Local Floodplain


%GULF COAST
,, iTALri C.


Standards Funding will be conditional
upon the projects conformity with all
applicable state and local floodplain
standards, the prolectis obtaining any
necessary U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
permits, and the project complying with
any terms and conditions placed by
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Affects to the Floodplain and Mitigation:
The proposed actions may have short-
term impacts to the floodplain during
construcTion These impacts would
consist of short-term water quality
impacts. In some cases, mitigation
against damage during future events will
be provided by repairing or replacing
structures wih materials that give
additional protection. Long term.direct
and indirect impacts are not expected
or are expected to be beneficial for
various reasons.
