Our Department also conducts Certificate to Operate (CTO) inspections at local businesses that have large quantities of hazardous products located near municipal well heads. CTO regulation of hazardous products against discharge supports the NAHMMA goals because if product is spilled, it instantly becomes a waste. Protecting our municipal wellheads out to the 5 year travel time (isocontour) from discharges of hazardous products or wastes is very important to Collier County. This goal is directly tied to Department's (CCPCPD) mission is to protect Collier County's drinking water resources from pollution. All of Collier County's drinking water comes from vulnerable shallow aquifers that supply groundwater to both municipal well fields and thousands of individual potable wells throughout the County. These aquifers are recharged annually by surface water that percolates down through porous soils and sedimentary formations. Our SQG Program and the other aquifer protection programs within our Department are crucial as a first line of defense in protecting the integrity and quality of the groundwater resource in Collier County. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>3.

This allows us to absorb new and innovative insights into common concerns we share, in addition to unique issues that have the potential to impact our local area (I.e. Meth Lab waste). We share inspection techniques, training materials, technical information, and support; all which enhances and streamlines our daily work load. These yearly conferences especially the National conferences give us an opportunity to meet Inspectors one on one to place faces with people we communicate with.

All type of rumors have been circulating as to whom will be the new member of the Sunsationals. One disturbing rumor is that a member of the Mango's will be joining the Sunsationals. To that, Gomez stated "that he would disband the Sunsationals before naming a Team Mango member to the team." To halt further rumors, Gomez indicated that after an extended search, Team Sunsational has invited Sandra Keil to be the fourth member of the Team. Team member Curt DeBrunner stated "Sandra has all the qualifications to be a Sunsational, knowledgeable, athletic and can beat Glen Perrigan at arm wrestling." The big question is who replaced Perrigan on the Team? At the Fifth Annual Haz-Waste Olympics in Lakeland, Florida the Sunsationals issued a press release indicating that the third member of the Team (Perrigan's replacement) had been signed to a contract. The Sunsationals indicated that due to sensitivity issues they will not name the replacement until game time.
