fineries located and operating in your State? How is this figure expected to change over the next fifteen years?

4. Describe generally the existing systems of petroleum distribution within your State i.e. pipelines, port facilities, intermodal transportation systems, etc. What pressures on such facilities can be expected to result from anticipated changes in petroleum demand over the next fifteen years?

5. (a) Describe briefly what interstate, State or local government entities in your State have authority to:

(1) regulate or otherwise oversee harbor or terminal planning, siting, development and operation;

(2) coordinate this planning with that being conducted by agencies of the Federal government concerning such activities?

(b) Is your State, in the near future, expected to consider legislation or to follow some other course of action which would provide for any of the above?

6. What percentage of your State's coastal area which is set aside, preserved or otherwise protected, or which, because of consistent and predominant use, can be characterized as having significant scenic or recreational value?

7. (a) What, in summary, are your State's laws and policies toward the preservation or development of coastal lands, estuaries, and submerged lands which could be expected to have some bearing on the planning, siting, development, construction or operation of deepwater port facilities?

(b) Is your State, in the near future, expected to consider legislation or to follow some other course of action which would provide for any of the above?

8. Should the Federal government enact a measure to authorize the development of offshore deepwater port facilities:

(a) What economic, environmental or social impacts could your State expect to result from the location and operation of such a facility off its shores,

(b) What role would you view for your State in the planning, construction and operation of deepwater port facilities in connection with the implementation of the Federal law?

1. Oil supplies 72% of Florida's energy demand compared with 44% nationwide.

Florida's demand for petroleum represents approximately 6% of the national demand.

If tourism and in-migration continue at present rates, demand for petroleum products will doube within 10 years.

2. Diesel fuel and some crude oil come from South America-primarily Venezuela. Refined projects come in by tanker from Texas and Louisiana refineries.

3. Refinery capacity: 1 refinery with a capacity of 3300 barrels/day. This represents .00025% of the national refinery capacity.

This capacity represents less than .01% of the state demand for petroleum products.

If large amounts of offshore oil are discovered, refinery capacity will probably go up. If little oil is discovered, refinery capacity will probably not change.

4. Almost all oil coming into the state comes by way of tanker into the ports. Tampa, Jacksonville, and Port Everglades are the major ports for receiving petroleum products. Some comes by barge, or is distributed by barge. Distribution is primarily by truck tanker. Natural gas comes in by pipeline. Ports will need increased docking and storage facilities. Alternative distribution methods should be investigated-i.e., pipelines for bringing oil into the state and for distribution to diffuse markets.

5 (a). There are 16 deep draft ports (greater than 27' depth) and 35 shallow draft ports (less than 27' depth) in Florida's coastal zone. In addition, there are at least four significant river ports in Florida. Not all of

these ports presently handle petroleum products, but most of them could be utilized in one way or another within a distribution system.

5 (a)(1). The problems of defining regulatory, planning, siting, development and operational criteria within the state of Florida lie between several agencies and organizations. These responsibilities rest among several different administrative enties. Authority at the state level is divided between the Department of Natural Resources (Bureau of Waterways), Department of Transportation and the Department of Commerce. The Florida Coastal Coordinating Council has been given the responsibility by the legislature for developing a comprehensive coastal zone management plan. This interagency group provides the primary liaison and implementation relative to all management and planning activities within the coastal zone. Sub-state and local authorities are created under separate and very different special acts of the legislature. Some have taxing powers, some do not. Most of them can finance their operations through sale of bonds, with repayment from charges for services rendered. The type and magnitude of services rendered vary greatly. Some authorities have regulatory powers, while others do not. A chart of the location of Florida ports is included in Figures 1 and 2.

There has never been, as far as can be determined, a compilation of the various responsibilities and powers of the varied authorities having regulatory or recommendatory functions in Florida relative to Florida ports. The present methods for harbor or terminal planning, siting, development and operation and regulation consist of the following steps. Facilities are proposed and planned by the individual port and navigation authorities. The various state agencies concerned with natural resource management become involved through the state regulatory mechanisms (DNR, Trustees, DPC, CCC, Div. of Health, Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission) depending on the proposal, and work directly with the authorities to attempt to minimize adverse effects. Permits are required from the Trustees, certification by DPC, and possibly a permit from the Bureau of Beaches and Shores if open beach areas are involved. Comments by other agencies are considered prior to permit issuance.

5 (a)(2). General coordination with federal agencies by state entities occur through the following mechanisms: The Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund deal directly with the Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Department of Pollution Control deals directly with the Environmental Protection Agency. The Coastal Coordinating Council assists in the coordination with these and other groups. If federal funds are involved the Department of Administration (State Clearinghouse) is responsible for conducting the necessary review and coordination under the A-95 review program.

5 (b). No new state legislation for ports is envisioned at this time, although the Florida Energy Committee, created by the 1973 legislature, will very likely recommend legislation to deal with various aspects of energyrelated planning, coordination, and conservation as soon as they have had time to formulate their plans and strategies.
