CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – On Tuesday, Cape Canaveral’s city officials will deliberate on whether to formally request a public hearing from the state concerning the renewal of Blue Origin’s permit, which involves discharging water into the Indian River Lagoon.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has proposed a permit that would authorize the aerospace company to release approximately 500,000 gallons of industrial wastewater daily into a retention pond that ultimately drains into the Indian River Lagoon.

During the city council meeting on Tuesday, members will review a motion that, if approved, would enable the city manager to draft a letter to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requesting the public hearing.

Similarly, the Brevard County Commission plans to send a comparable letter. It’s important to note that state regulators are under no obligation to hold such a meeting and have the exclusive authority to decide on the permit’s approval.

The plan has angered residents, who recently packed a county commission meeting to voice their opposition.

While the permit requires testing for pollutants and prohibits direct discharge into drinking water supplies, recent developments have heightened public concern. FDEP recently fined Blue Origin for improper water testing procedures.

Residents are also frustrated as the county wants voters to consider reissuing a sales tax to continue paying for Indian River Lagoon restoration efforts.

Council members are also expected to hold another discussion on plans to close Cape View Elementary School, another proposal, this time by Brevard Public Schools, that has generated a lot of controversy among residents.

The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. at City Hall on Polk Avenue.
