Well everyone it has been a while and I'm not too happy about that. Unfortunately living in a world flooding with information, in a country with the freedom to access that in formation, and a state that allows all records to be shared it's still difficult to find out a thing or two. Thanks to some help from Dr. Woodall and her connections in the environmental field I was able narrow down my search with a classification of Smith Creek, the water body in question.

| Mr. Faulkner's residence and canals |
It seems that the only concern with the canals I'm researching come from the current residents one being Mr. Charlie Faulkner, and myself. I did however, have a breakthrough early this morning in the thousands of formal, uninteresting, governmental straight forward documents listed by the Department of Environmental Protection. I found the criteria given for this class of water body in Flagler county. This criteria will allow me to continue onto the next step in my research. I know it doesn't seem like much but, it's a about time I made some progress.

| Class three criteria |
Pedro--I've finally figured out your Class III criteria; the criteria is the first column (many data are not included which is what WE need!) and the third column are the measurements taken from the waste water treatment facility's (WWTF) effluent discharge--they do have data. While their data is interesting (and I should note likely from a particular date only) we are really looking for the Class III data so that we can compare our measurements with FDEP/SJRWMD water quality criteria--which this doesn't really provide. Bummer!!! But having some of the WWTF data may be useful. You wouldn't think this would be so hard! I might have to make more phone calls...I'll email you what I sent to Paul Haydt for his input--that he hasn't 'input' on yet.
