4B THE PALM BEACH POST MONDAY, APRIL 1 199 1 MSL Sugar growers would be hit hardest by proposed surcharge industry out of business, said Barbara Miedema, spokeswoman for the Florida Sugar Cane League. Sugar farmers argue that in some cases they give back more water than they take. They say they give it to the system in the form of rainfall on fields that is drained into reservoirs. In those instances, they should get full credit and pay no taxes, Miedema said. "We should be fair with this thing," said Estus Whitfield, environmental adviser to Gov.

Lawton Chiles. "If somebody is giving back as much as they're taking out, they shouldn't be charged." Farmers are also being asked to give millions for projects to clean their runoff, which is blamed for polluting the Everglades. The two taxes "have to be considered in concert," Miedema said. per year. The Chase study estimated the fee would raise water bills by less than 10 percent in Palm Beach, Martin, St.

Lucie and Okeechobee counties. The study presumes farmers would pay only 2 cents because the 10- and 20-cent fees would raise their costs too dramatically. Farmers also would receive up to 30 percent in credits because much of their water is returned to the system when it seeps into the ground or is pumped into canals. Even with those breaks, water costs for the average sugar grower, now $12 per acre, would increase by $6.58, or 54.8 percent, the study said. With about 405,000 acres in production, that means $2.7 million from Florida sugar farmers.

Even the lower surcharges would probably close down some farms, especially small ones, and a 10-cent fee could put the entire rnff! lhe state's average water use r.sts Percent and generate $108.4 minion per year in Florida through 2010, the study said. everyone house-no ds, business, industry and agriculture io cents would raise 171.4 million. The surcharge would be used as col ateral for loans, giving the state enough money to offer utilities $5.76 billion in loans and $576 million in grants in 21 years an average of $300 million a year. Money would go to local utilities to develop systems that reuse treated wastewater and plants that use processes such as reverse osmosis to treat otherwise unusable water.

"The persons contributing to this fund will be the beneficiaries," said Rep. R.Z. "Sandy" Safley, R-Clearwater, who sponsored the House version of the bill. Sen.

Curt Riser, R-Palm Harbor, sponsored the Senate version. In the bill, 75 percent of money raised would go to a trust fund for utilities similar to the one outlined in the Chase study. It would be administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation. Twenty percent would go to state Surface Water Improvement and Management plans to clean up lakes, rivers and swamps. DER would get 2.5 percent, and another 2.5 percent would be distributed among the state's five water management districts for administrative costs.

Any leftover money would go back to the trust fund. Whitfield doesn't expect the bill to pass this year.
