4O4 Operationally, water would be drawn into the easterly end of the interior waterways during periods of high tide . This would result in a minor current westerly to the Diamond Waterway area . Water would be drained from the Diamond Waterway area into Belmont Slough during periods of low tide . Volumewise , this circulation of water would amount to two complete changes of water in the interior waterway system within a one-month period . The effect of this circulation on water quality in the vicinity of Neptune Beach was unpredictable due to the semi- isolated location of the beach and the fact that the current velocities of the circulated water were extremely slow . Additional means of combating the water quality problem at Neptune Beach were continuing in several areas . The estimated cost of the project is $50 , 000 and sufficient funds were budgeted in the 1972-73 Capital Improvement Budget for GID 1-64 . Application had been made for a "negative declaration" of environmental impact under Resolution No . 6882 . This application would be processed prior to the bid opening . Mr . Ron MacQuarrie , 558 Keelson Circle , expressed concern with regard to apparent attempts of Marine World to increase changing of water for their water ski show , due to conform, and whether the time schedule for interchange of water in the lagoon for Redwood Shores residential area as opposed to Marine World, would raise the possibility of interchange of one into the other . Director of Public Works gave assurance that both Redwood Shores and Marine World would be filling from the flood tide , and discharging at the exit tide , and that the Water Quality Control people would be watching this closely . Councilman Norris moved that the subject of water pollution be reported on each month as part of the Community Progress Report , seconded by Councilman Williams . Following additional discussion on what the Progress Report should consist of , it was felt that inclusion of details of various problem areas would defeat the purpose of the Report , since the Progress Report was supposed to emphasize areas of positive action . Motion failed, with Councilmen Henderson , Leipzig, Weymouth , Williams and Mayor Keckley voting no ; and Councilmen Norris and Rhodes voting yes . The question was raised as to what condition the water was , in the Municipal Marina area . A request was made by Council to have the Manager investigate the status of the water and report back to Council , with perhaps a time- table as to when change could be expected in this area . 5/21/73 Memo 5/23/73 Reg .
