in an attempt to avoid prolonged debate or judicial action. This could avoid the department being drawn
into protracted local issues that are divisive in nature. It would also further the department's completion
of its oversight requirements from the legislature that there be substantial reduction in on-site waste
disposal in the Keys by 2010.
