Introduction: Acknowledgments

J.B. Cowart, Geology Department, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Fla., provided all uranium isotope analyses and contributed many ideas on their usefulness as ground-water tracers. He also wrote some pages of an early draft that was a predecessor to this report. Those pages are included in this report in the section on isotopes. The author also thanks the following people, who provided technical assistance and data for the study: J.I. Garcia-Bengochea, C.R. Sproul, and J.D. Lehnen, CH₂M Hill, Inc., Gainesville, Fla.; R.J. Kerrn, Alsay-Pippin Corporation, Lake Worth, Fla.; V.P. Amy and J.A. Wheatley, Geraghty and Miller, Inc., West Palm Beach, Fla.; P.E. Robbinson and P.A. Davis, Hazen and Sawyer, Inc., Hollywood, Fla.; J.R. Peralta, General Development Utilities, Inc., Miami, Fla.; W.R. Mehner, City of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Garrett Sloan, Miami- Dade Water and Sewer Authority, Miami, Fla.; E.E. Mitchel, City of Stuart, Fla.; T.M. Missimer, Missimer and Associates, Cape Coral, Fla.; E.L. Fennell and R.T. Mooney, Exxon Company, New Orleans, La.; C.W. Hendry, C.H. Toodle, and E.C. Lane, Florida Bureau of Geology, Tallahassee, Fla.; N. Van Devender and R.L. Nicholas, Shell Exploration Company, New Orleans, La.; and R.C. Runvick and D. Jorgensen, U.S. Gypsum Company, Chicago, Ill.

The author also wishes to acknowledge the cooperation and assistance of the members of the South Florida Technical Advisory Committee, Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (DER): R.M. Duke, J.A. Guidry, and J.G. Strasser, DER, West Palm Beach, Fla.; L.A. Bell, R.J. Duerling, and D.R. McClaugherty, DER, Tallahassee, Fla.; A.E. Coker, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region IV, Atlanta, Ga.; Abe Kreitman and L.A. Wedderburn, South Florida Water Management District, West Palm Beach, Fla.; and Bruce Kester, Broward County Environmental Quality Control Board, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

B.H. Lidz, U.S. Geological Survey, Fisher Island Station, Miami Beach, Fla., identified planktonic foraminifers in selected samples of drill cuttings. Conrad Newman, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N.C., provided data on Pleistocene and Holocene sea-level fluctuations. Peter Popenoe, R.P. Freeman-Lynde, and M.M. Ball of the U.S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Mass., provided seismic reflection profiles for the western Straits of Florida. Albert Yang, U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, Cob., and H.G. Ostlund, Director, Tritium Laboratory, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Miami, Coral Gables, Fla., supervised the radiocarbon analyses and provided much useful discussion on carbon isotopes during the study. The carbon-14 analyses of water samples from the deep wells at Fort Lauderdale and Port St. Lucie were contributed by the city of Fort Lauderdale and General Development Utilities, Inc., Miami, Fla., respectively.
