December 29, 1988 " Mr Carmen Annunziato Director of Planning City of Boynton Beach, Florida POBox 310 Boynton Beach, Florida 33435 Subject Transmittal of Baseline Surface Water Quality Monitoring Results for Three Discharge Outfalls, Quantum Park, Boynton Beach, Florida (1003 01 03) Dear Mr Annunziato In accordance with Special Condition No 16 of the City of Boynton Beach's Development Order for Quantum Park, Resource Engineering and Planning, Inc (REP/Inc), on behalf of Quantum Associates, is pleased to submit the results of baseline surface water quality monitoring at three discharge outfalls at Quantum Park These data are concurrently being submitted to the South Florida Water Management District, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, and the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation for review Responsibility for review of on-going surface water monitoring at the park is claimed by the South Florida Water Management District in Special Condition No 16 of the Development Order, with all further monitoring data submitted to that agency Surface water at Quantum Park is managed via three separate retention basins Each basin is equipped with a control structure to maintain pond levels in each basin The location of the three basins and the control structure for each is shown on a site plan of Quantum Park included as Attachment 1 As shown in Attachment 1, Basins #1 and #2 discharge directly to the Lake Worth Drainage District I s Equalizing Canal 4 (LWDD E-4) Basin #3 discharges to the LWDD's Lateral Canal L-21 Surface water samples were collected at the outfall of each retention basin on November 17, 1988 Samples were collected by removing the iron traffic grate from the top of each control structure and lowering a clean stainless steel bailer into the flow through the control structure The sample from each outfall REPllnc. 3920 ReA Boulevard. Suite 2001 · Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410 · U 407 622.9030 --- Mr. Carmen Annunziato December 29, 1988 Page 2 was given a unique designation (Basin #1, OF-3i Basin #2, OF-2i Basin #3, OF-1) and placed in appropriate containers and labeled The three surface water samples, as well as a bailer equipment blank, were submitted to Savannah Laboratories and Environmental Services, Inc , for analysis, except as noted below Each of the three surface water samples were analyzed for the following compounds: General criteria Total Organic Carbon Turbidity Specific Conductance Alkalinity Dissolved Oxygen pH Chemical Oxygen Demand organic Compounds Trichloroethylene Carbon Tetrachloride 1, 1, 1-Trichloroethane Benzene Tetrachloroethylene Vinyl Chloride 1,2-Dichloroethane Ethylene Dibromide Metals Aluminum Beryllium Copper Iron Mercury Selenium Zinc Antimony Cadmium Cyanide Lead Nickel Silver Analytical results are presented on page 3 of this letter Any exceedance of the analytical results with respect to Class III or other appropriate surface water quality standards is noted on page 3, where appropriate Attachment 2 presents the laboratory analytical results for surface water samples collected at Quantum Park Mr. Carmen Annunziato December 29, 1988 Page 3 --- Baseline Surface Water Analvtical Results Ouantum Park.

Future monitoring will identify if this data is indicative of on-going conditions for surface water in Basin #2, or is the result of certain factors or activities present in Basin #2 at the time of baseline sampling Quantum Associates and REP/lnc appreciate the City of Boynton Beach's review of this monitoring data Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us Sincerely, Matthew D.
