Sub - consultants
It is anticipated that all work required of this RFQ can be provided in -house by SMW
GeoSciences, Inc. staff. If any sub - consultants are required, with preapproval from the
City's project manager, we will utilize a consultant already under contract with the City or
one which does meet the approval of the City's.
If Professional Land Survey work is required, however, we are recommending the services
of Southeastern Surveying and Mapping Corporation. Southeastern Surveying and
Mapping Corporation has provided surveying services to the City of Ocoee on numerous
projects since 1990 and maintains a continuing services contract with the City.

Pr oject Approach
SMW Geosciences, Inc. is committed to high quality, responsive service to the City of
Ocoee. We have the appropriate professional, technical and support personnel available
to quickly staff any assignment that the City may have under this RFQ. We will provide
open communication with the City during each assignment to have a clear understanding
of the City's goals and objectives.
As a small local firm, SMW excels at providing quality services to a cost - conscious client.
We are able to produce proposals and work products in increments to suit a particular
budget or to allow a step -by step approach in understanding the needs of a particular
circumstance. As the nature and complexity of each type of project varies, the required
approach for each assignment will be coordinated with the City's staff.
We typically appoint one client contact to manage the project and to offer a point contact
and ensure accountability. For the purpose of this submittal, a summary of a typical project
approach to be utilized for each assignment is provided below.
Development of Scope of Work: The initial activity for each assignment will be to meet
with designated City staff to develop a detailed scope and schedule with milestone dates
for the work product deliverables clearly indicated. Based on the scope of services and the
schedule, a basis for fair and reasonable compensation will be negotiated. The proposed
project approach can be amended as necessary to meet the City's requirements for each
assignment.
Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed, SMW will sit down with the City staff to discuss key
issues and special concerns each party may be aware of, and to review the City's goals,
objectives and project schedule /budget. The meeting will serve to confirm the channels of
communication and lines of authority, emphasizing the free flow of communication
between the project participants.
Coordination with Other Consultants and Agencies: Should a scope exceed our area of
practice, or when two separate projects intersect, the SMW team will work side -by -side
with other consultants' representatives as a cooperative member of the team to achieve the
objectives of the City. Additionally the SMW team strives to keep positive relationships
with local permitting agencies and utility service providers.
Public Participation: Strong communication is essential for a city the size of the City of
Ocoee. SMW staff will be available to assist the City with presentations to internal
departments, City Commission and other public venues.
Quality Control: Our objective at SMW is to provide a quality work project right from the
start. Minimum errors not only help our bottom line, but offer a cost savings and better
quality product to our clients through reduced review times and compliance with schedule
goals. SMW provides in -house quality control reviews through each development stage of
a project assignment. Prior to any submittal, SMW will provide draft copies of all reports
13 - SMW GeoSciences, Inc.
P rojec t Ap proa ch
to the City for review. We do not consider the City's review part of the quality control
program.
Permitting: Based on the number of complex projects that our firm has successfully
permitted, we have established a close professional relationship with various regulatory
agencies including the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the St. Johns River
Water Management District, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Florida Department of
Transportation.
The SMW Team will evaluate the permitting requirements to ensure all permits and
approvals are obtained in a timely manner. We advocate early pre - application conferences
with the regulatory agencies. We strive to prepare complete and detailed permit
applications in an effort to minimize the agency's need to request additional information.
This approach has helped build our rapport with the regulatory agencies and more
importantly, helped ensure that our client's project schedule is maintained rather than the
project being held up by the permitting process.
Conclusion: Our approach to each project emphasizes complete and thorough project
communication and documentation beginning with the scope of services and ending with
the project deliverable.
The adjacent map illustrates project
locations that required similar services
and documentation of our experience in
successfully delivering projects relevant
to this RFQ is included on the following

Consu Use Perm itting
The SMW team is highly experienced with all aspects of Consumptive Use Permitting and
projects related to water supply resources. Our staff is keenly aware of the concerns that
growth is placing on our water supplies and the impacts that these demands have on
minimum flows and levels (MFLs), wetlands, spring flows and saltwater intrusion.
Sarah M. Whitaker, P.G. was the Lead Hydrogeologist for the St. Johns River Water
Management District's (SJRWMD) Orlando office. In addition to reviewing consumptive
use permits (CUPs), Ms. Whitaker has been the agent of record for more than 45 clients, for
on more than 70 CU Ps.
SMW GeoSciences, Inc. was the agent for the City of Ocoee's CUP which was issued in
2010 and expires in 2026. This permit allocates the use of 4.88 mgd of groundwater and
2.07 mgd of reclaimed to meet the City's projected water demands. SMW is continuing to
assist the City with its CUP needs and is preparing the CUP compliance report associated
with the water conservation plan associated with the CUP.

Groundwater
SMW GeoSciences, Inc. has provided groundwater modeling services to the City of Ocoee
in the past. The modeling was done for SJRWMD review of the last CUP renewal to
demonstrate the lack of harm posed by the City's increased withdrawals and modified
pumping distribution and for FDEP to demonstrate Rapid Infiltration Basin capacity.
Groundwater flow models are used as planning and permitting tools to evaluate impacts on
natural resources and existing legal users, and to develop well field optimization programs.
For water use permitting purposes, they are used to evaluate the potential for adverse
impacts on aquifer levels, established Minimum Flows and Levels of wetlands and springs
and the vertical and lateral migration of the saltwater /freshwater interface. We are proficient
in the creation, calibration and use of groundwater models for regional and site specific
evaluations for a multitude of purposes.
In Central Florida the two primary CUP modeling tools are the East Central Florida Transient
(ECFT) model and District -wide Regional Model (DWRM). These regionally based
numerical groundwater flow models are used to make predictions of water level conditions
within aquifers covering regions of the St. Johns River Water Management and South Florida
Water Management Districts and the Southwest Florida Water Management District
(SWFWMD), respectively. We are experienced with both of these models, their
predecessors and prototypes, and were one of the first firms to receive and test the beta
version of DWRM in 2006. We are also one of the first firms to utilize and modify the
DWRM model through the telescopic mesh refinement (TMR) extraction process for
SWFWMD's review of a well field withdrawal application.
In addition, Sarah M. Whitaker, P.G. was qualified as an expert in hydrogeology and
groundwater flow modeling by a Florida Administrative Law Judge during a recent
challenge for issuance of a water use permit. She is also a representative on the Central
Florida Water Initiative (CFWI), aka Central Florida Coordination Area (CFCA) Phase II,
groundwater modeling team tasked with the technical oversight for development of the new
ECFT model by USGS.

In the last two years SMW has provided groundwater modeling services on the following:
City of Ocoee — Rapid Infiltration Rerate
SMW constructed a MODFLOW model of the surficial aquifer using Fortran code for
a capacity re -rate analysis on the existing Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIBS) associated
with the City's WWTF and public access reuse system. The results of the model
were reviewed and approved by the FDEP in 2013.
City of Leesburg, Plantation at Leesburg CUP (Allocation re -rate
SMW is assisting the City in the review of potential
impacts to wetlands predicted by the SJRWMD's ECF
model using the new TMR package. Requested
allocation of 1.41 mgd under review.

Water Demand and Reuse Projections and Planning
Almost every project that SMW is involved with require the evaluation of existing water
use and developing demand projections for water supply and reuse planning. We prepare
projections for both groundwater and reuse to support SJRWMD and FDEP applications.
This information is also used in support of cost -share funding requests and for 10 -Year
Water Supply Facilities Work Planning. Our team works closely with applicable City
departments to utilize the most current information to prepare projections for the
appropriate planning horizon and use.
As part of the CUP process for the City of Ocoee we have complete detailed water use
audits, prepared groundwater and reuse water projections and have been providing
services over the years to support cost share applications to the SJRWMD as well as FDEP
and SJRWMD permits.
Sarah M. Whitaker, P.G. served as Groundwater Program Manager for Domestic and
Industrial Waste discharges while employed at the FDEP. She has extensive experience in
reuse planning (projecting reclaimed water capture, storage requirements and public access
reuse water projection demands) associated with FDEP disposal capacity concerns as well
as SJRWMD's concerns with the availability lower quality water to offset to groundwater
withdrawals through the CUP process.
Example Projects in the last two years:
• SMW is assisting municipalities and utilities of the South Lake
Water Initiative in developing reuse /AWS demand
projections for negotiations with Consery II.
• SMW developed potable and irrigation demand projections
for South Lake County's Wellness Way project aka The South
Lake Sector Plan.
• SMW developed groundwater and reuse demands for the
City of Groveland's Alternative Water Utility CUP which
specifically supplies reclaimed domestic and industrial for
beneficial recharge to the service area and the Floridan
aquifer.
• SMW also developed projected water demands (groundwater
and /or reuse) in support of CUPS for :
City of Groveland North Potable Water Service
Area
City of Mascotte
City of Montverde
City of Minneola

Environmental Impact Assessments for SJRWMD and FDEP permit reviews are
accomplished through several processes that often involve groundwater modeling, field
investigations, water quality and water level monitoring and analysis of variations in water
levels, water quality, soils and vegetation through time.
FDEP requires the installation and monitoring of background and compliance monitoring
wells to evaluate the impacts of effluent discharged to Rapid Infiltration Basins and Slow
Rate application sites (golf courses and residential irrigation). Also, associated with the
SJRWMD's CUP program, wetlands evaluations and compliance monitoring has become a
standard condition associated with water supply permitting. SMW GeoSciences, Inc. has
completed numerous wetland impact evaluations, field investigations, and monitoring well
and data logger installations in support of these requirements of both the FDEP and
SJRWMD. We also deliver specialized on -going compliance monitoring and reporting
services and provide interpretations on perceived environmental impacts.
Environmental Impact Services that SMW has provided to the City include:
City of Ocoee — SJRWMD CUP
SMW performed groundwater modeling and then conducted a field review of
wetlands that had the potential for impacts due drawdowns associated with the
requested CUP allocation. We were successful in demonstrating that no adverse
impacts would occur and therefore no wetlands monitoring sites were included as
condition for permit issuance.

Environmental Impact Assessments
Environmental lmnact Assessments
City of Ocoee — FDEP WWTF RIB Rerate
SMW performed groundwater modeling in support of rerating the RIBs at the
WWTF. The results of groundwater modeling demonstrated that no adverse
environmental impact (no day - lighting of the created mound) should occur due to
the requested increase in pond capacity.
City of Ocoee — FDEP WWTF Permit Groundwater Monitoring Plan
SMW has been successful in reducing the required number of groundwater quality
monitoring sites associated with the permit. This reduction in wells that are
monitored quarterly will result in a significant cost savings to the City. We were
also successful in demonstrating that the high nitrate concentrations, often
encountered in the monitored wells at the golf course, are not associated with the
treated reclaimed water applied as for irrigation purposes.
20 -- W - SMW GeoSclences, Inc.
At SMW, we recognize the dynamic nature of water conservation and the need to incorporate
new strategies and technologies while striking a balance with budgetary constraints. We not
only assist in the development of a water conservation plan, we are with you every step of the
way, including implementation, tracking and program evaluation.
Development of a strategic water conservation plan tailored to the water use habits and
patterns of the City of Ocoee's customers has been and will continue to be an effective tool
for both demand management and water supply reliability. SMW began providing water
conservation services to the City to Ocoee in 2006 by assisting the City with the development
of its water conservation plan for public outreach and education for CUP issuance. Most
recently, we are assisting the City with the strategic water conservation planning using smart
meter technology and Microsoft Access. The initial phase of this project received 50% cost
share funding from the SJRWMD. This project includes:
• installation of 388 smart meters,
• joining account level data to property attributes in the Property Appraiser Database,
• development of a strategic water conservation plan
• development of a water conservation tracking tool using Microsoft Access to allow the
City to evaluate the cost - benefit ratio of specific activities.
21 -,- SMW GeoSciences, Inc.
Strategic Water Conservation Planning
We are continuing to assist the City with the development of a strategic water conservation
plan and water conservation tracking tool in addition to providing irrigation auditor
services and the preparation of the CUP compliance submittal for water conservation plan
update to the SJRWMD.
Additional water conservation projects provided by SMW over last two years Water
Conservation Planning services have also been provided for:
City of Leesburg, Main CUP & Plantation at Leesburg CUP
In 2012, SMW completed a study to identify incentive programs to reduce
outdoor water use in Royal Highlands. As part of this evaluation, SMW evaluated
the cash - for -grass program required by the City of Leesburg's CUP and
successfully modified tis requirement to an irrigation rebate program.
SMW provides annual summary reports of water conservation activities for
program documentation and CUP compliance.
City of Groveland
SMW provides assistance for water conservation planning and CUP compliance
submittals related to water conservation. The City has also recently completed a
conservation project to target inefficient outdoor water users. SMW prepared the
cost share application and this project received 50% cost share funding from the
SJRWMD.

SUBJECT: RFQ #1402 Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services
Dear Ms. Tolbert:
The owners of Barnes, Ferland and Associates, Inc. (BFA) and Dunn, Salsano & Vergara
Consulting, LLC (DSV), have a long history of working effectively together. We recognize that
we have synergistic skills and capabilities ranging from data collection to policy development.
We believe that we can most effectively meet all of the City of Ocoee's needs on this contract
by working as a team (The BFA Team), with BFA acting as the lead consulting firm.
BFA is pleased to submit the BFA Team's qualifications to provide the requested services to the
City of Ocoee. Since 1994, BFA, a Florida environmental consulting firm, has been providing
professional engineering, hydrogeological, surveying and environmental related services. With
main headquarters in Orlando, Florida, and satellite offices in Miami and West Palm Beach,
Florida, and New Orleans, Louisiana. BFA is a certified minority /disadvantaged business with
the State of Florida and numerous other state and local government agencies.
DSV is a Florida -based water resources consulting firm, established in 2010 with headquarters
in Orlando, Florida, and satellite offices in Gainesville and East Palatka, Florida. DSV partners

focus of DSV staff has been on the water resource, environmental, and permitting issues facing
utilities in central Florida, making DSV uniquely qualified to support this work.
The BFA Team understands that the objective of this project is to provide assistance to the City
of Ocoee in its efforts to comply with the City's consumptive use permit conditions. The BFA
Team further understands that this assistance may require groundwater modeling, water
demand projections, reuse projections and planning, environmental impact assessment, permit
application and supporting documentation preparation, supporting City staff with public
presentations and meetings; and permitting and compliance with the St. Johns River Water
Management District (SJRWMD) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection rules
and regulations. The BFA Team also understands that assisting the City with information

SECTION 1
FIRM'S QUALIFICATIONS
1.1 Introduction
-0
The owners of Barnes, Ferland and Associates, Inc. (BFA) and Dunn, Salsano & Vergara
Consulting, LLC (DSV), have a long history of working effectively together to serve city owned
water utilities, like Ocoee. This team has the synergistic skills and capabilities covering your
requested professional engineering services for all areas of water supply planning, permitting,
and implementation. We have successfully performed similar engineering support contracts for
other municipal utilities and we know that we will expertly, efficiently, and cost - effectively
meet all of the City of Ocoee's needs for assistance in its efforts to comply with the City's
consumptive use permit (CUP) conditions with our two firms working as a team, and BFA taking
the lead.
The City's location in southwestern Orange County places it in one of the most notable water
supply hot spots in Florida — the Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI) area. In the CFWI area,
the Floridan aquifer, one of the most productive aquifers in the United States, is projected to
reach sustainable limits in the immediate future. As growth in the region continues, increased
quantities of alternative water supplies will be required to meet the growing demand. The
City's current CUP includes requirements for using alternative water supplies (reclaimed water)
and for planning for increased use in the future. The City's relatively small service area
population, which is projected to be 36,580 in 2026, will place limitations on development of
more expensive alternative water supplies by the City alone.
In addition to this challenge, the City's CUP (CUP number 3216) includes more than 40
conditions describing authorized quantities of water withdrawals, sources of water, water
conservation requirements, and numerous reporting requirements. This CUP was authorized by
SJRWMD on November 17, 2010, and extends through 2026, with limitations on increased
withdrawals from the Floridan aquifer after 2013.
Providing water to the citizens of the City of Ocoee in a manner consistent with the numerous
conditions of the SJRWMD CUP and other regulatory requirements is a very significant and
demanding responsibility. The complexity of providing water is expected to increase
significantly because of projected future shortfalls of groundwater in the central Florida area.
The BFA Team is very familiar with the issues related to these projected shortfalls and is in an
excellent position to provide the support necessary to allow the City to address these issues in
the best interest of the citizens of the City. The founding partners of DSV were involved, on
behalf of SJRWMD, in the initial identification of these shortfalls and in approaches for
developing the alternative water supplies necessary to allow continued growth. BFA has a long
history of supporting central Florida water utilities in water supply investigation, demand
projection, permitting, implementation and system operations, and reporting. The BFA Team is

Summary Experience
Ms. Vergara has been involved for 40 years in Florida water resource issues and has developed
a broad knowledge of these resources. Most of her career has been spent working within
Florida's water management system as an employee first of the Southwest Florida Water
Management District and then of the St. Johns River Water Management District. Early in her
career she gained significant experience in Florida hydrogeology and directed the Southwest
Florida Water Management District's regulatory program. Later her career was focused on
managing the St. Johns River Water Management District's (SJRWMD) water supply planning
and implementation efforts. (1��/j
Z -Z7 D
B.FA DUN\, ANO & VERGARA
�- CONSULTING, LLC
She managed development of SJRWMD's 1998, 2003, and 2008 districtwide water supply
assessments. Work involved in these assessments included preparing water supply projections
for all water use categories, developing steady -state regional groundwater flow models, using
these regional groundwater flow models to project changes in Floridan aquifer and surficial
aquifer water levels, developing methods to assess the acceptability of the environmental
impacts of these projected water level changes on the water resources and related natural
systems of SJRWMD, and identifying areas of SJRWMD where proposed sources of water supply
could not sustain projected water use.
Ms. Vergara was also responsible for managing development of SJRWMD's 2000, 2005, and
2010 regional water supply plans. These plans were prepared to meet the water supply
planning requirements of Chapter 373, Florida Statutes. These plans identify minimum flows
and levels, sources of water supply, water supply projects, and other strategies (including
minimum flows and levels recovery and prevention strategies) that could be implemented to
supply projected water use without resultant unacceptable impacts.
Since the formation of Dunn, Salsano & Vergara, LLC (DSV), Ms. Vergara has managed and
supported projects concerning consumptive use permit applications, compliance, and
interference with existing legal uses of water. Ms. Vergara's long -term association with the
consumptive use permitting and water supply planning processes and with the staffs of
Florida's water management districts contributed to the successful completion of these
projects.
Ms. Vergara has been qualified as an expert in water resources and has given testimony in
administrative hearings in Florida. She is a seasoned administrator, project manager, facilitator,
and author with a well- rounded knowledge of water resources and Florida's water
management system.

DUN: , SALSANO & VERGARA
CONSVI.TING, LLC
approaching $100 million. During his Air Force career Mr. Salsano directly managed more 1.5
million man -hours and more than $2 billion in contracts.
Utility Operations
Mr. Salsano was recruited to manage Florida water and wastewater utilities. He served as Vice
President and General Manager of Sanlando Utilities Corporation and as a Regional Manager of
Utilities Inc. of Florida. During this tenure Mr. Salsano oversaw significant Florida growth,
including construction and operation of both water and wastewater facilities for the Florida
operations of the 300,000- customer, $400 million utility. This included development and
implementation of budgets for capital construction, maintenance, and repair; and successful
liaison with regulatory agencies, contractors, vendors, and other public and private utilities.
During this same period Mr. Salsano served in an advisory capacity to SJRWMD in matters
related to SJRWMD's water supply planning efforts. This service included participation on
SJRWMD's Water Utility Advisory Board, Alternative Water Supply Working Group, and Little

Water Supply and Water Resource Development
In order to directly support SJRWMD, Mr. Salsano started Taurant Consulting, Inc., and in early
2000 began what would be 10 % years of continuous full -time service to that organization. In
this capacity he provided a host of services with a primary focus on program and project
management for water supply and water resource development projects. Among those
projects was the St. Johns River Water Supply Project, which established the economic,
environmental, and technical feasibility of treating water withdrawn from the St. Johns River to
public drinking water standards for use by public supply utilities in central Florida. In addition
he very successfully managed the preliminary design and environmental permitting efforts for
both the $500 -$700 million St. Johns River /Taylor Creek Reservoir Water Supply Project and the
$600 -$800 million Coquina Coast Seawater Desalination Project. Of note is that he developed
the scope and assisted staff with procurement for these and more than a dozen other projects
during his tenure, supporting SJRWMD's $2 billion Alternative Water Supply Program.
Mr. Salsano also played a major role in managing significant water resource development
projects, including the $2.5 million East Central Florida Water Supply Planning Initiative, the $12
million Aquifer Storage and Recovery Construction and Testing Project and the $70 million
Central Florida Aquifer Recharge Enhancement Project. In addition to this project- specific
work, Mr. Salsano authored for SJRWMD the first Water Resource Development Work Program
document approved and published in Florida and produced subsequent revisions annually for
six years.
Mr. Salsano has demonstrated outstanding business, organizational management, and
administrative skills as well as strong project and program management skills. His involvement
in regional water supply management activities has provided him with significant knowledge of

1.6 Project Approach
1.6.1 Background
The City of Ocoee (City) is located in southwest Orange County and operates three separate
utility service areas (the North, Central, and South). Potable water and sewer services for the
North and South Service Areas are provided by Orange County. Consery II has agreed to provide
reclaimed water to the South service area. The City provides potable water, wastewater, and
reclaimed water services to the Central Service Area and has the right to provide reclaimed
water to the North Service Area. The City was issued a permit with a 16 year duration on
November 17, 2010. The maximum annual combined groundwater and reclaimed water
permitted total allocation for 2014 is 5.91 million gallons per day (mgd), and for 2026 is 6.95
mgd. In 2026, the District authorizes, the use of 4.88 mgd, annual average, of groundwater and
2.07 mgd annual average, of reclaimed water for household, commercial /industrial, landscape
irrigation, water utility, and essential (fire protection) types of use to supply a projected
population of 36,580 within the City's Central Service Area.
The consumptive use permit provides for the potable groundwater demands of the City's
customers in the Central Service Area up to the projected 2013 demand. The City has two
Supplemental Water Supply projects: 1) self supply of reclaimed water from the A.D. Mims
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), and 2) reclaimed water through agreement with
Consery II, which should meet all of the City's reclaimed water demands through 2026.
The City currently operates two water treatment plants (Forest Oaks Plant and South Plant). A
third plant (the Jamela Plant) was taken offline in 2005, and the associated supply wells were
abandoned and plugged per SJRWMD criteria. The Forest Oaks Plant includes two existing
Lower Floridan aquifer wells ( #1 and #3), one existing Upper Floridan aquifer well ( #2), and one
proposed Lower Floridan aquifer well ( #4). The South Plant includes three existing wells ( #1, #2,
and #3), all of which are completed in the Lower Floridan aquifer.
The City is seeking professional hydrological and water supply planning services needed to
assist the City in efforts to comply with its CUP conditions. Compliance may require:
groundwater modeling, water demand projections, reuse projections, planning, environmental
impact assessment, permit application and supporting documentation preparation, supporting
City staff with public presentations, meetings, and response to information requests; and
related permitting and compliance with SJRWMD and FDEP requirements.
The BFA Team strongly believes that Florida's water resources are reaching their sustainable
limits and it is becoming more challenging to provide traditional fresh groundwater sources.
We have provided assistance to many public supply utilities in obtaining CUP renewals and
modifications. Our goal is to obtain a CUP for a reliable water supply of high quality water at
the lowest cost possible, in an environmentally responsible manner and with maximum
allocation for the longest duration. BFA offers technical expertise necessary to effectively
develop and protect vulnerable natural resources, in a cost effective manner. We feel that our
1 -27 B_ FA_ DSV
-' DUNN, SALSANO & VERGARA
CONSULTIN LLC
comprehensive understanding of current regulations, in conjunction with our extensive
experience in these areas, result in an equitable balance between client and regulatory
interests. Our team provides the City of Ocoee with a complete range of engineering and
hydrogeologic services from water supply development through the disposal of wastewater
effluent.
CUP renewals and modifications may involve the following detailed evaluations:
✓ Historical water use trends
✓Service area population and projected growth
✓ Per capita water use
✓ Water use customer types
✓ Customer water use rates
✓ Reclaimed water system
✓Groundwater modeling and impact evaluations
✓Water resources and hydrogeologic setting
✓ Comparison of the City of Ocoee's water supply plans with SJRWMD 2013 Water Supply
Plan for consistency
✓ Plans of adjacent water users
✓ Preparation of permit applications and supporting documents
✓ Negotiation of favorable permit conditions
v / Permit compliance data collection and reporting
✓ Water supply system components evaluation /source capacity /reliability
✓ Projected population and water use /audit evaluation
✓ Irrigation water use evaluation
✓Aquifer performance testing and analysis
✓Statistical data analysis
✓ Water quality sampling and evaluation
✓Well /well field siting
✓Alternative and reclaimed water supply feasibility
✓Well field operation plans
✓ Water conservation plans
✓Saltwater monitoring plans
- monitoring plans
✓Assistance with ordinance development
✓ Expert witness testimony
An important first step is to meet with the City of Ocoee staff to determine specific goals and
concerns related to the CUP modification and outline a game plan. The next step is to
coordinate a pre - application meeting with SJRWMD Staff to understand which evaluations to
focus on. These meetings will help to identify the specific requirements of this project and
avoid any potential pitfalls.
1 -28 DSV
DUNN, SALSANO & VERGARA
CONSULTING, LLC
The SJRWMD will require a level of comfort that potential new wells will not cause significant
environmental and resource impacts. Our efforts and advocacy will be focused on
demonstrating that the projected withdrawals will not cause adverse impact to: 1) adjacent
legal water users: 2) surface water and natural systems (ie: lakes and wetlands) and 3) water
quality. This may require groundwater modeling to simulate potential drawdown impacts and
to assist with proper well spacing. Our Team has extensive experience in groundwater flow
and solute transport modeling in support of CUPS throughout Florida. Modeling results may
indicate a need for compliance monitoring of nearby lakes and wetlands. Collection of data
typically includes pumping, rainfall and water levels, vegetation and wildlife, which is used to
evaluate causal relationships. BFA has developed and implemented several Wetlands
Monitoring and Mitigation Programs for other utilities.
The Consumptive use permit requires the City to adhere to numerous compliance conditions.
Our Team has developed many analysis reports for compliance issues including, conservation
plans, groundwater contamination monitoring plans, wetlands monitoring plans and saline
water monitoring plans. Compliance issues may require design and implementation of
monitoring plans or analyses and submittal of data generated from existing plans.
Ocoee Project Approach Summary
In summary the BFA Team proposes to meet the professional hydrogological and water
supply /planning services needs of the City of Ocoee by employing the following steps.
1. Meet with appropriate City staff to learn how the City wants to interact with the BFA
Team and discuss anticipated projects, priorities, and schedules.
2. Review the City of Ocoee's current CUP and supporting documentation, and compliance
reports submitted to date to SJRWMD and FDEP, if applicable, and other information
pertinent to water supply issues facing the City. Such other information should include
but not be limited to water and wastewater facilities plans prepared for /by the City,
Central Florida Water Initiative reports, and SJRWMD regional water supply plans.
3. Develop a list of tasks and a schedule for completing these tasks, for consideration by
the City staff. Revise the list and schedule as necessary based on input from City staff.
4. Based on authorization from City staff, prepare a scope, schedule, and estimated cost
for the identified tasks.
5. Based on authorization from City staff, implement tasks, staying in communication with
appropriate City staff. In an effort to work efficiently and minimize expenses, to the
extent possible this communication will be via telephone or email.
6. Hold project meetings on a schedule suitable to City staff (face -to -face or via
teleconference based on guidance from City staff).
7. For each authorized task, as appropriate, prepare draft and final project reports, if
necessary, in a format acceptable to City staff and based on review of City staff.
8. Invoice City for work performed based on provisions included in the BFA Team's
contract with the City.

and testing of 5 Lower Floridan aquifer production wells.
Orange County Utilities /Parsons Brinkerhoff - Orange County STOPR Group Water Supply
Monitoring Program
As a subconsultant to Parsons Brinkerhoff, Inc., BFA is performing annual vegetative transect monitoring
events for 39 sites during the dry season of 2012. Panoramic photographs of the wetland are taken
from photo stations previously established by others.
• Vegetative monitoring consists of a qualitative description of the vegetation by stratum and
zone. Plant communities are being described by plant community using a line intercept
method located 10 feet on one side of the main transect line, and a listing of all vascular
plant species present is included. Each line intercept transect is established at 30 foot
intervals and oriented perpendicular to the main transect. Each line intercept transect is 20
feet in length and all vascular plants are recorded at two foot intervals along each line
intercept transect. Each plant species identified along the line intercept transect line are
also being assigned an indicator status and an invasive species category, if applicable.
• BFA is providing an annual review and evaluation of the changes in vegetation from year -to-
year. All vegetative changes are being discussed. The information will be used to
supplement the water level data collected, and will help to determine if there is any
correlation between water levels and vegetation in each of the 39 sites. BFA is providing
Parsons Brinkerhoff the qualitative descriptions and photostation data in the appropriate
format for annual vegetative monitoring as described in Exhibit 10 of the STOPR WUP. A
baseline transect report is also being provided for use as a template. BFA's report will be
added to PB's annual compliance reports to the SFWMD.
City of Titusville - Water Use Permitting / Well Field Development
The coastal City of Titusville has provided potable water from the surficial aquifer system since
1 -30 D S Y
- DLTNN, SAISANO & VERGARA
CONSULTING, LLC
the mid- 1950s. Groundwater is produced from a fragile and limited freshwater lens that is
surrounded by brackish water. Since 1994, BFA has provided the City consumptive use
permitting (CUP) services for modifications, renewals and a new well field area. BFA has
evaluated historical and projected water use and prepared well field operation plans and
managed an extensive well field refurbishment program. BFA also developed groundwater
models to assess water resource conditions and prepared and implemented wetland and saline
monitoring plans. The City recognized the need for a reliable future supply source and BFA
prepared a detailed Future Water Development and Implementation Plan that included several
source options. Fresh groundwater from the Upper Floridan aquifer in northern Brevard County
(Area IV Well Field) was recommended as the primary supplemental water supply option, based
on technical, economic and environmental feasibility. BFA's Team used MODFLOW and
SEAWAT models, to evaluate potential aquifer drawdown and saltwater impacts. The SJRWMD
was in favor of permitting this facility, however, the permit was challenged by an adjacent
property owner through an administrative hearing process. BFA provided expert witness
testimony and developed numerous trial exhibits for this hearing process resulting in the City
successfully obtaining a 20 -year permit.
City of Wildwood - Water Use Permitting and Well Construction and Testing Program
Since 1994, BFA has provided engineering and hydrogeologic services for the City's water and
wastewater utilities. During 2007, growth plans to build up to 30 new developments in
Wildwood required a modification of the City's Water Use Permit (WUP) for an increase in
allocation and expansion of their water system. BFA provided the necessary WUP evaluations
including historical and projected water use, and a water conservation plan. The BFA team
evaluated the drawdown impacts using the SWFWMD's DWRM2 model. A new well field facility
was recommended, northwest of the City where much of the new development was proposed,
to meet the projected water demands and to replace flows from wells that would eventually be
taken out of service. BFA recommended constructing new wells into the Lower Floridan aquifer,
which will have less potential drawdown impact to surface water /wetlands /springs and other
Upper Floridan aquifer water users. A cooperative project agreement between the City and the
SWFWMD included sharing costs ($130,000 from District) for hydrogeologic data collection and
aquifer performance testing. BFA conducted an extensive test drilling program and found a
producing zone between 600 -1000 feet depth has very high production capacity and water
quality is very fresh and suitable for potable use with minimal treatment. The SWFWMD
approved the WUP for a significant 133 percent increase in average annual allocation.

Kissimmee River Restoration Evaluation Program BFA provided consulting services for
processing aquatic invertebrates samples collected as part of the comprehensive Kissimmee
River Restoration Evaluation Program. Aquatic invertebrates were identified as a critical
biological component for assessing restoration of ecological integrity within the Kissimmee
River ecosystem. Aquatic invertebrates play an integral role in river ecosystem processes
including nutrient cycling, decomposition of detritus, and energy flow to higher trophic levels;
e.g., amphibians, reptiles, fishes, wading birds, and waterfowl. Aquatic invertebrates also have
a long history of use in bio- monitoring and can serve as indicators of biotic integrity and
ecological health. In order to establish a baseline for comparing pre -and post- channelization
aquatic invertebrate community structure and production, three replicate samples were
collected. Samples were analyzed for density, species richness, species diversity, functional
feeding group composition and functional habitat associations. Secondary production of
aquatic invertebrates also was calculated for each habitat type. In order to assess initial
responses of aquatic invertebrates to reestablished flow and compare pre- and post- restoration
aquatic invertebrate community structure characteristics, five replicate samples were collected
from mid - channel benthic and snag habitats of Pool A and C. Sampling ultimately resulted in
the accumulation of approximately 900 samples. BFA completed processing of 25 samples on a
monthly basis and included a total of 25 CPOM fractions and 25 FPOM fractions (50 sample
fractions) per month and removed all invertebrates from the remaining CPOM and FPOM
fractions. BFA processed approximately 1300 sample fractions (CPOM and FPOM) over a one -
year period.
Environmental Monitoring Quality Assurance /Quality Control BFA staff provided assistance in
conducting various high -level QA /QC and Data Validation /Assessment support for several
environmental monitoring projects. BFA was responsible for ensuring that project data
collection process and analytical procedures complied with EPA, FDEP and USACE requirements
and that sample collection, analysis and data were of acceptable quality to achieve the SFWMD
goals and objectives.
Field In -Situ Measurement Data Entry BFA provided a team of three environmental scientists
who performed data entry of field in -situ measurements for samples collected for District and
CERP monitoring activities. BFA collected samples in the field and was responsible for entering
data and maintaining records and verifying data entry. This project consisted of assisting in
filing chain -of- custody forms and other related laboratory forms reviewing /verifying data entry
and resolving problems.
Hydrogeologic Data Analysis and Management BFA provided assistance in Hydrologic Data
Analysis and Management. BFA assisted CERP project managers and other District staff in the
quality assurance and database archival of hydrogeologic data. BFA collected, validated, and
archived data obtained from the District's historical hydrologic database. The data developed
was used in models and decision - making processes to support the District's mission.
Biscayne Bay MFL Ecological Indicators BFA performed an intensive review and documentation
of existing literature and other sources of information to determine the technical relationships
among freshwater flow, salinity and watershed /estuary hydrodynamics that impact key
indicator biological communities or species present throughout Biscayne Bay. The results of
our study formed the basis of establishing the Biscayne Bay MFLs.

District -Wide Field Data Collection BFA collected quarterly field data. The data collected was
used to build a variable density, groundwater flow model to simulate proposed Aquifer Storage
& Recovery (ASR) cycles in the CERP. The monitoring sites were located throughout the
boundaries of the South Florida Water Management District, and included groundwater quality
samples and field measurements from forty -nine (49) monitoring wells at twenty -one (21)
locations.
Sediment Characteristics in Stormwater Treatment Areas BFA collected and characterized
sediment and soil samples in Storm Water Treatment Area 1E (STA -1E). STA- 1E is located in
western Palm Beach County adjacent to the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife
Refuge (Water Conservation Area -1). BFA also conducted a synoptic sediment sampling event in
STA -3/4. At 17,000 acres, STA 3/4 is the largest man -made wetland in the world.
Dunn, Salsono & Vergara Consulting, LLC (DSV)
St. Johns River Water Management District - Central Florida Water Initiative Project Support
DSV provided the services of Dr. Bill Dunn to SJRWMD to serve as its representative on the
Central Florida Water Initiative's Environmental Measures Team (EMT) and provide support to
the MFLs and Reservations Team, and the Groundwater Availability Team (GAT). The EMT is
charged with developing water table drawdown limits that will protect wetland, lake, and
flowing water systems within the Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI) area. Work to date has
proceeded at the three levels attempting to define the relationship between historic and
current time series of water levels and ecological condition (stressed or unstressed) of the

water body: 1) an analysis of 45 lake and wetland sites with historic water level data, an
inventory of 400 lake and wetland sites that were evaluated by the staff from the three WMDs
as part of the initial Central Florida Coordination Area. Analyses have included: cumulative
frequency analysis, linear and multivariate regression, cluster analysis, and probabilistic risk
assessment. As part of the contract Dr. Dunn hosted a weekly CFWI coordination meeting with
all SJRWMD staff directly involved with the CFWI; this included members of the HAT, MFLs and
Reservations Team, EMT, and GAT.
Pillsbury Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman, LLP - Progress Energy Florida Levy Nuclear Power Plant,
Levy County Florida
DSV was retained by Pillsbury Law Firm on behalf of Progress Energy Florida (PEF) as a subject
matter expert (SME) in support of PEF's application to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) for a combined construction and operating license (COL) for its proposed Levy Nuclear
Plant (LNP) in Levy County. Specifically PEF has retained Dr. Bill Dunn as their lead SME for a
detailed assessment of potential effects of active dewatering activities during construction and
operation on wetlands and aquatic ecosystems, surface and groundwater quality, and
populations and critical habitat for state and federally protected species. The Final EIS was
issued by the NRC in late April of 2012, with the finding that the impacts of water management
activities during site construction and from the operations of the onsite raw water wellfield (1.6
mgd) were generally not greater than SMALL. This conclusion has been challenged by a group of
third party interveners. The interveners' challenges were adjudicated in a 2 day hearing in
Bronson FL in November 2012 before the NRC's Nuclear Safety and Licensing Board (NSLB), a
three judge panel. The NSLB recently ruled in PEF's favor, dismissing all of the interveners'
environmental impact allegations. In its final order the NSLB cited Dr. Dunn's written and oral
testimony refuting the interveners allegations of impacts to ecological and water resources in
support of the boards dismissal of all allegations.
Dr. Dunn's role includes review of work products associated with the environmental impact
statement. This includes surface water and groundwater modeling; descriptions of geologic
and landform features with particular emphasis on the condition of wetlands, aquatic
ecosystems, and aspects of the surrounding watersheds; and the intervener's filed contentions
and objections.
In addition to the reviews performed by Dr. Dunn, he has prepared written testimony based on
his education, experience, and knowledge of the water resources on the LNP site and in the
region. The testimony summarizes his conclusions regarding the potential impacts of
dewatering due to construction and operation of a small raw water wellfield. Testimony also
critically evaluates the intervener's contentions concerning impacts to natural systems.
Sleepy Creek Lands Phase 1 North Tract (formerly Adena Springs Ranch)
Consumptive Use Permit Application
On behalf of the applicant's attorney, Michael Minton with the law firm of Dean, Mead,
Egerton, Bloodworth, Capouano & Bozarth, P.A., DSV is currently conducting the
environmental review of an approximately 2.3 mgd requested withdrawal from the Upper
1 -34 .SFA DSV
DUNN, SALSANO & VERGARA
CONSULTING, LLC
Floridan aquifer (UFA) for pasture irrigation on the 30,000 acre Sleepy Creek Lands Phase 1
North Tract in Marion County. Ocala Meadows Farms, Ltd., developer of the project, has
applied to the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) for a consumptive use
permit (CUP) for agricultural, commercial, industrial, and livestock uses at the ranch. DSV's
currently authorized statement of work includes Phases 1 and 2. The level of effort for Phase 1
covers initial activities in support of the CUP application for the project. Phase 2 is currently
undefined and was intended to cover any activities that may be requested following SJRWMD's
decision on issuance. The work effort under Phase 1 covers technical analyses and support for
meetings and public outreach. Ongoing technical analyses address the following work efforts:
• Evaluate available hydrological and ecological monitoring data to investigate concerns
that the Silver River has been adversely impacted by existing groundwater withdrawals
and that due to adverse impacts, additional groundwater withdrawals cannot be
permitted or should be delayed until adoption of minimum flows for the river by
SJRWMD.
• Assess and advise Ocala Meadows Farms and its consultants on potential onsite and
offsite water quality effects to both ground and surface waters, in particular those related
to nutrients, based on the ranch's proposed nutrient management practices.
• Assess and advise Ocala Meadows Farms and its consultants on potential impacts to
other water resources that may occur as a result of proposed groundwater withdrawals.
• Provide technical support to Ocala Meadow Farms in its role as a stakeholder in the
FDEP's ongoing basin management action plan (BMAP) development process for the
recently adopted nitrogen based TMDL for the Silver River and Silver Springs. Issues under
evaluation on behalf of OMF include: defining technically defensible boundary of BMAP
management area, and evaluating regional nutrient loading analysis and projections.
• Provide external technical peer review of SJRWMD's proposed MFLs for the Silver River
and Silver Springs. This effort has included: 1) detailed technical review of hydrological
and ecological data collection, analysis and interpretation documented to date by the
District, and 2) direct participation with District's technical peer reviewers through
presentation of and discussion of findings. These peer review efforts are ongoing.
• Provide technical support to OMF in a regional planning effort with SJRWMD, City of
Ocala and Marion County to evaluate the feasibility of using leaky, constructed treatment
wetland systems (CWTSs), located on the Adena Springs Ranch, to recharge upper Florida
aquifer (UFA) in the vicinity of Silver Springs. On behalf of OMF DSV has developed
conceptual system sizing based on range of reclaimed water potentially available from
City of Ocala and Marion County utilities.

City of Ocala /DSV
WRF -1 Treatment Wetland Feasibility Study
The City of Ocala desires to evaluate the feasibility of using a constructed wetland system for
treatment of reclaimed water produced at the WRF No. 1 for subsequent beneficial reuse by its
reclaimed water customers and for groundwater recharge of excess reclaimed water. The City
proposed two parcels adjacent to the Pine Oaks Golf Course for the implementation of
treatment and infiltration constructed wetlands.
To determine the feasibility of using a treatment wetland system, the City retained the team of
Mittauer & Associates, DSV, and CH2M HILL to conduct a detailed study. The evaluation
included detailed review of wastewater flow and water quality data and site characteristics. The
regulatory feasibility was evaluated, and a preliminary wetland sizing was performed. A
conceptual, planning -level cost estimate was prepared.
The study concludes that it is feasible for the City to consider constructing a wetland system for
the treatment of reclaimed water produced at the WRF No. 1 for beneficial reuse. The wetland
would treat sufficient flow to meet the demand of existing reclaimed water customers and to
recharge groundwater with excess reclaimed water. A park -like layout and site use is proposed
which includes preserving stands of existing trees, allowing for park amenities among the
treatment wetland cells, and incorporating existing lined storage ponds within the Pine Oaks
Golf Course as wetland cells to provide additional area necessary to achieve the treatment
goals.

2.0 Introduction
2.1 LBG Team
Let!gette, Brashears & Graham, Inc.
Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. (LBG) is the first and oldest hydrogeological consulting
firm in the United States and over the years has evolved into a full service environmental
consulting company with a diverse work history in projects associated with water resource
evaluation and development, well field permitting, development and management, planning,
contamination assessment and remediation, and reuse systems evaluation. Our history in the
Florida area began in 1959 when M.L. Brashears (one of the company founders) and Frank Crum
arrived to provide groundwater consulting services regarding water supply development for the
City of St. Petersburg. Frank continued to work in the area until LBG opened an office in
Tampa in 1973. David Wiley joined the firm in 1985 following 5 years of employment by the
Southwest Florida Water Management District. After Frank retired at the end of 1 998, Dave, a
Professional Geologist, assumed control of the Tampa office and Florida operations. Mr. Wiley
is a Senior Vice President of the firm and is authorized to sign contracts. The LBG Orlando
office opened about 10 years ago when Roy Silberstein, PE joined the firm. Roy and David had
worked together previously at the Water Management District
The historical strength of the firm, especially in the central and southwest Florida region has
been in the area of hydrogeological and environmental investigations. The work in this region
has consisted of preliminary hydrogeological testing to evaluate the potential availability of
water, the construction of test production wells and monitor wells, the performance of 100's of
aquifer performance tests, groundwater modeling and impact analysis, the design and
construction of more than ten major well fields, the permitting of many major withdrawal
facilities, well field management, contamination assessment of groundwater and remedial design
and implementation for soil and groundwater, and reuse systems evaluations. Expert witness
testimony has been provided for many of the permitting activities.
LBG has excellent working relationships with a number of Cities, Counties, Water Authorities
and Water Management Districts. These working relationships have developed around the
services we provide them in an efficient manner with very experienced staff. Once we have
helped to obtain permits and develop well field facilities, we have continued to assist our water
utility clients with permit compliance issues, such as annual reporting, well field management
plans, well operation and maintenance programs and assistance at public meetings. We have
also provided analysis associated with the management and compliance with reuse systems.
LBG personnel routinely interact with other consultants such as engineers, biologists and other
hydrologists on a regular basis. Because many consulting projects require an inter - disciplinary
approach, LBG staff has become very proficient in the exchange of data, knowledge and
expertise with other professionals. LBG currently has a local staff of 8 professionals available
with the necessary experience and expertise to provide the required services to the City of Ocoee.
Personnel from our other 19 offices are also available, if required. The office manpower
utilization has averaged about 55 percent over the past year. Several projects now under contract
have schedules that are winding down which has reduced the current workload to almost 50
percent. Projected workload, including this proposed City of Ocoee contract, is not expected to

increase the total manpower utilization rate greater than 60 percent over the next year. Due to
the culmination of some existing workload and projection of future workload, LBG can readily
assist the City on the upcoming permitting contract.
In order to round out our team for this City contract, we have included the following Hoyle
Tanner & Associates, Inc. (HTA) to assist us, primarily with Water Supply Planning services.
LBG has also been working with HTA on similar projects /contracts for other clients in the area.

3.0 Corporate History
Founded in 1999 by a member of the Ground Water Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey,
Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. (LBG) was the first consulting firm to specialize in
groundwater geology. Max Leggette established his pioneer consulting practice in New York
City after serving as an Army water - supply officer in North Africa during World War I1. He was
joined in the 1950s by M.L. (Brash) Brashears and Jack Graham, also veterans of the U.S.G.S.
LBG's early consulting services focused on groundwater development for public supply and
industrial growth, as well as mine dewatering projects. By the mid- 1950s, the firm had taken on
its first contamination projects.
A second office was opened in Tampa in 1973 due to increasing activity in the southeastern
United States and the Caribbean. Initial hydrogeological activities in Florida involved
groundwater investigations to meet the increasing needs of the City of St. Petersburg. Soon after
a water supply was developed for St. Petersburg, LBG began developing water supplies for other
governmental and private users throughout Florida.
The firm moved its principal office from New
York City to Connecticut in 1975 and was
incorporated on October 11, 1976. The
company has grown steadily and presently
maintains twenty regional offices. Regional
offices are located in Tampa and Orlando,
Florida; Shelton and Hartford, Connecticut;
St. Paul, Minnesota; Sioux Falls, South
Dakota; West Chester, Pennsylvania; Ramsey,
New Jersey; White Plains, New York;
Madison, Wisconsin; Austin, Houston and
Humble, Texas; North Kansas City, Missouri;
Freeport, Illinois, Columbus, Ohio; Williston,
Vermont; Wetmore, Michigan; Burlington,
North Dakota; and Atlanta, Georgia.
All of the technical personnel of LBG are hydrogeologists, geologists, hydrologists or
engineers whose activities since the completion of their formal education have been chiefly in
the field of groundwater and /or environmental engineering. The activities of the firm consist of
providing investigational and advisory services to public and private organizations, both foreign
and domestic, on problems that lie within the specialized fields of hydrogeology and
environmental engineering.

Regional needs deserve regional solutions. Being local, it is important to understand the
concerns of your citizens, staff, and government (in protecting our environment and conserving
precious resources). As a result, LBG has a strong, long - lasting relationship with many local
clients. Access to any of the nineteen other regional offices across the United States is available.
With a Partner heading up almost every office, projects receive local attention and tight daily
control. A national network of over 160 people supports these offices in the specialized areas of
hydrogeology, environmental engineering, construction services, permitting, modeling,
operations and maintenance. This staff network is available on an as- needed basis.
LBG has provided "as needed" hydrogeological and environmental services to the Cities of
Sarasota, Dunedin, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, North Port and Tarpon Springs, Hernando and
Sarasota Counties and Tampa Bay Water for a number of years. A key service provided to all of
these clients has been water use permitting. These working relationships have developed over
the years and have proven to be very beneficial to all involved. LBG has always responded to
their needs in a timely and cost effective manner.

As you will see in the following sections, LBG is uniquely qualified to provide the required
services and more to the City for the required tasks.
4.2 Project Approach
The City has identified key tasks in the RFQ # 1402. Contained in this section of the LBG
proposal are approaches for addressing the key tasks. It is our understanding that, at this time,
there are two primary activities that the City expects to undertake for this contract. These
activities include: 1) compliance of CUP issues; 2) Water Supply Planning. LBG is very
experienced with these activities, and in fact, has been performing them for other similar City
clients for quite some time. In the event that other hydrogeological, environmental or
engineering activities arise, LBG has the qualified and experienced personnel to provide the
necessary services.
Background of Water Supply System
Water Supply System
Before going into any specific project tasks, it is important to develop an understanding of the
City's water supply system. The City operates the South Water Treatment Plant and the Forest
Oaks Water Treatment Plant currently serving a population of approximately 32,000. Eighty
percent of the finished water is supplied to residential customers and the balance is provided for
commercial accounts. Year 2012 combined annual flows averaged 3.53 mgd with a maximum
day flow of 6.41 mgd. Forest Oaks WTP averaged 1.69 mgd in 2012 and South WTP averaged
1.84 mgd. The South WTP is permitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
for a maximum operating capacity of 5.6 mgd and Forest Oaks WTP is permitted at 5.2 mgd for
a combined capacity of 10.8 mgd. Of the six active supply wells, five wells are completed into
the Lower Floridan aquifer to depths of up to 1,450 feet and one well is finished into the Upper
Floridan aquifer. The four largest capacity well pumps are rated at 1,500 gpm to 3,000 gpm with
two wells rated at 800 gpm.
Consumptive Use Permit
The City's consumptive use permit number 3216 last renewed in November 2010 for a 16 year
term expiring in November 2026. The permit authorizes combined annual groundwater
withdrawals of 4.81 mgd in year 2012 from both water plants and 4.88 mgd through the term of
the permit. Reported average withdrawals of 3.53 mgd in 2012 are well within permitted
allocations. Overall per capita water use averaged 115 gpd at the time of the last permit renewal
in 2010. SJRWMD however computes per capita water use associated only with residential
connections which averaged 90 gpd. Residential per capita use is expected to decline to about 80
gpd through the term of the permit while population served increases more than 15 percent
during the same period. The permit authorizes one new supply well with a rated capacity of
3,500 gpm at Forest Lake WTP.

Pending Compliance Issues
Review of permit compliance documents demonstrates that the City is very diligent in filing
supporting information to the SJRWMD. The City has managed water conservation practices
and reclaimed water planning extremely well. Major improvements planned to the reclaimed
water system to increase capacity and reliability satisfies SJRWMD permit requirements to meet
future water demands within existing treatment plant capacities and consumptive use permit
allocations. The permit authorizes annual reclaimed water flows for residential use based on
expected treated wastewater flows generated within the service area and planned interconnection
with Conserve I1. Reclaimed allocations of 0.92 mgd in 2012 increasing incrementally each year
to 2.07 mgd in 2026 may be exceeded should additional reclaimed water become available. The
City has utilized over 90 percent of its reclaimed water for public access during the past few
years due to distribution retrofits of existing neighborhoods and flows provided to the Forest
Lakes golf course. Irrigation of the Forest Lake golf course with reclaimed water is authorized
by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as a slow -rate public access reuse facility
and is not restricted by consumptive use permit. A backup supply source to meet peak demands
for residential irrigation is not planned.
Central Florida Coordination Area (CFCA)
The CFCA was originally established by the three area water management districts to meet
future water demands without causing harm to water resources and environmental habitats in
central Florida. The CFCA has been replaced by the Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI)
covering Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Polk, and southern Lake Counties. Requirements
associated with the CFCA such as no increase in groundwater allocations after 2013 were
retracted when the Rule was sunset in 2012. New rules associated with the CFWI were intended
to have been implemented prior to the sunset of the CFCA but will not likely be ready for several
more years. Groundwater allocations at the time of the City's permit issuance were limited to
year 2013 demands. Permit condition 37 of the consumptive use permit requires the City to
begin development of alternative water supplies in addition groundwater allocated to meet future
water supply demands. The first status report for District review and approval is required to be
submitted by March 31, 2013.
Studies conducted by CFWI technical committees have recently been completed indicating a 250
mgd fresh groundwater deficit through the planning period. Alternative water sources currently
underway and feasible sources for future consideration have been presented in the Draft Water
Supply Plan. Decisions for optimizing existing groundwater withdrawals and for implementing
alternative water sources are anticipated to be made within the next year. A regulatory
committee will meet to work through Rules necessary to maintain Minimum Flows and Levels
and environmental values.
Consumptive use permit consolidation generally referred to as CUPCon has been ongoing for
several years under the direction of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The
intent of CUPCon is to streamline the permitting process and to align consumptive use permit
rules for the five water management districts. CUPCon has progressed much slower than
planned due to difficulties resolving differences among the Districts. The CUPCon program is a
good indicator of challenges to developing consensus and to implementing Rules for CFWI.

In summary, the City has taken significant steps to enhance reclaimed water supplies and to
implement residential and commercial conservation practices as cost effective measures toward
planning future water supplies. It is recommended that the City investigate a backup or
supplemental supply source to meet peak demands for residential irrigation as a means to expand
the reclaimed water customer base. SJRWMD has agreed to supplemental reclaimed water
supplies when system expansion is justified. Continued groundwater use by the City will be
affected by regulatory challenges related to CFWI decisions yet to be made and associated rules
expected to be promulgated in the next two years. The City should maintain close contact and
involvement with CFWI committees as regional management and optimization decisions are
made. Finally, the City should explore options for minimizing its costs related to compliance
with permit condition 37. Costs for implementation of alternative water sources such as brackish
water or surface water supplies can be prohibitive even in cooperation with other utilities. This
issue should be raised with SJRWMD officials now that consumptive use permits no longer
limited groundwater allocations 2013 demands as in the City's case.
Hydro ,-eoloQic Framework
The next few pages describe the hydrogeologic framework of the Ocoee area. The generalized
hydrogeologic section depicts the Surficial and Upper and Lower Floridan aquifers, the principal
water - bearing units, in western Orange County of importance for the City. The surficial aquifer
system is underlain by and separated from the Floridan aquifer system by the intermediate
confining unit, which restricts the movement of water between the two aquifers. Underlying the
Floridan aquifer system are low permeability limestone and dolomite containing considerable
gypsum and anhydrite that define the bottom of the Floridan aquifer system in the study area.
The surficial aquifer generally consists of sand and varying amounts of shell and clay in the
vicinity of the City supply wells. The surficial aquifer system is unconfined and the upper
boundary of the system is defined by the water table which typically coincides with lake surface
levels in the Ocoee area. The water table generally is a subdued reflection of land- surface
topography and is tens of feet below land surface in upland areas south and west of Lake
Apopka. The intermediate confining unit as illustrated in the hydrogeologic section underlies the
surficial aquifer, and throughout most of the western county, serves as a confining layer that
restricts the vertical movement of water between the surficial aquifer and the Upper Floridan
aquifer. The intermediate confining unit consists primarily of Hawthorn Group sediments
characterized by low permeability interbedded clay, silt, and sand.
The Floridan aquifer system is the primary source of ground water in central Florida and
underlies all of Florida. In the Ocoee area the aquifer is composed of a sequence of highly
permeable carbonate rocks with an average thickness of about 2,300 feet. The aquifer contains
two permeable zones, the Upper and Lower Floridan aquifers. The Upper Floridan aquifer
generally consists of the Ocala Limestone and the dolomite and dolomitic limestones of the
upper one -third of the Avon Park Formation. Permeable intervals of the Upper Floridan aquifer
are characterized by cavernous porosity, fractures, and interconnected solution cavities. Two
active supply wells operated by the City are completed into the Upper Floridan aquifer producing
800 gpm to 1,500 gpm each.

The Lower Floridan aquifer illustrated in the hydrogeologic section generally consists of the
lower part of the Avon Park Formation. The Lower unit is encountered at depths of
approximately 1,000 feet below land surface in the Ocoee area and terminates at a depth of 2,000
feet. Although permeability of both the Upper and Lower units is enhanced by dissolution of
limestone along formation contacts and fractures, the Lower aquifer typically has significantly
higher permeability than the Upper aquifer and yields larger quantities of water to supply wells
in the area. City supply wells completed into the Lower Floridan aquifer produce up to 3,500
gpm each.
Water Use Permittin
One of the primary services that LBG provides to its municipal /utility clients is water use or
consumptive use permitting (CUP). Our engineering sub consultants, FITA, provide valuable
support in these processes. We perform these services regularly and are experts with the process.
LBG staffs have worked with the various Water Management Disiricls on numerous occasions
and have a good working relationship with permitting personnel. We also regularly assist clients
in compliance with a number of CUP conditions. These compliance issues have included the
evaluation of hydrologic and ecologic data, and the preparation of annual reports. We believe
this to be of great value to the City of Ocoee. The following is a general project approach or
scope of work for the CUP process that LBG would expect for the City.
Consumptive Use Permitting (CUP) Project Approach
The submittal of a Consumptive Use Permit application to the SJRWMD for permit renewal or
modification of well fields requires the completion of an Individual Water Use Permit

Application and a water use application supplemental form for public supply and filing it
electronically. The following tasks are necessary to complete the application.
I ) A team meeting is scheduled between the City staff and LBG to discuss the permit
renewal strategies. The City is appraised of key issues that are believed to be significant
in the process based on our experiences and knowledge. City staff provides to us
information that they believe to be important in the process with respect to their water
supply system.
2) The next task is to set up a pre - application meeting with the SJRWMD to discuss the
upcoming CUP renewal. This meeting is intended to get the process off to a good start
and make it as efficient as possible. An information exchange takes place at the meeting.
This information exchange ultimately assists LBG in preparing the CUP applications.
3) LBG coordinates with the City in obtaining and compiling the following information
required by the application:
• A legal description of the property;
• A description of existing and proposed withdrawal points, wastewater treatment plants,
raw water treatment facilities, water storage facilities and major effluent transmission
lines within the area serviced;
• A description of the fire flow and standby capacity;
• A description of the typical well field operation schedule;
• A description of the water conservation practices and programs undertaken by the City;
• A description of wastewater reuse by the City of Ocoee;
• Population and per capita use data including seasonal fluctuations within the service area;
• Other uses within the service area including firefighting, water utility use, treatment
losses and unaccounted use;
• A letter indicating that the City of Ocoee has adopted provisions for the enforcement of
the Water Conservation Act, Section 553.14 Florida Statutes.
4) LBG prepares documentation and calculations of present and projected water use in
average annual and peak month quantities for residential and other uses.
5) An impact analysis of the groundwater use is performed to address a specific item within
the CUP application form. This is accomplished through the use of groundwaterflow
modeling. Existing models are you used where available. Existing models are used
where available. We anticipate using the East Central Florida Transient Regional Model
developed by the SJRWMD
6) LBG completes the application forms and prepares the following maps, tables and
descriptions as attachments to the CUP application:
• A table describing the location of the well field property by Sec, Town, & Range;
• A recent aerial map with a minimum scale of 1" = 2,000' showing landmarks, property
boundaries, withdrawal point locations, raw water treatment facilities and wastewater

8) LBG submits a draft CUP application to the City for review. A final deliverable
consisting of six copies of the WUP application (three for the City's use, three for
submittal to the SJRWMD) will then be provided to the City. Progress reports are
provided to the City on a monthly basis.
Once the SJRWMD receives the CUP application, they have 30 days to request additional
information from the City, if necessary. For most major water supply systems, this typically
occurs and has occurred for previous City permit renewals. Responses to any requests for
additional information are generally required within 90 days. However, the applicant can request

There are two activities expected for this project that include engineering services assistance.
They are Water Supply Planning and Reuse. HTA will assist us with these activities.
Water Planning
HTA is proud to have assisted its clients with development of alternative sources of water as well
as advanced, affordable treatment of water that was not compliant with FDEP standards or was
unacceptable to the customer from the aspect of odor, taste, or color. HTA has been successful in
addressing systematic issues such as unaccounted water, low pressure, reliable fire flow and
proper system planning for system expansion and rehabilitation. Working closely with
permitting agencies, local governments and utilities, HTA has helped water distribution systems
with their system planning by examining all aspects of system including, compliance with
regulations, source protection, treatment, finished water storage, distribution, pump facilities,
data verification and water system management and operations. With HTA's water distribution
system modeling, existing distribution systems are modeled and evaluated for deficiencies.
Piping and system demand are inputted to the models that reflect present day conditions. Future
conditions are created and analyzed, which typically involve multiple scenarios that take into
account system growth, growth type (resident, commercial and industrial) and system demand
(high and low end users). Ultimately a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) or a condensed
version of a CIP is created outlining system improvements to address deficiencies or future
growth and expansion.
HTA's water hydraulic modeling has also been used to:
• Analyze distribution system water quality to determine the reasons for low chlorine
residuals (the cause for boil water notices) and water main breaks due to possible
pressure fluctuations in the system.
• Relocate existing and permitted potable water well, from its current location that did not
serve any hydraulic purpose, to a new location within the distribution system that gained
a larger benefit. The new location was identified by HTA and the client as a future Water
Treatment Plant site with chemical treatment, flow monitoring, groundwater storage and
multiple potable water wells.
• Create a utility master plan for the Inverness Airport Business Park that analyzed seven
(7) expansion scenarios. Each scenario looked at all the possible factors that could impact
the future business park such as available pressures, fire -flows, and the required demand,
based on the tenants of the future Business Park.
The close working relationship enjoyed with the permitting agencies, allows approaching
permitting projects (Consumptive User Permit) with ease and confidence. Working closely with
the water management districts; system demand (gpcd) and system expansion /growth are
analyzed and documented in the application for a permit renewal in order to determine the newly
permitted quantities. For the City of Crystal River, HTA analyzed three (3) different options for
the disposal of their reclaimed water. One of the options allowed 100% disposal of their reuse,
thus allowing the City to apply and ultimately obtaining a 20 -year Permit.
As mentioned, HTA's expertise in Water Planning includes compliance with regulations, pump
facilities and water system management. The City of Crystal River's principle and only source of

potable water is its Water Treatment Plant (WTP) which contains one operation well. Built in
1982, the WTP has gone various upgrades that address a specific item or function within the
WTP. In an effort to improve the overall efficiency and operation of the WTP, HTA completed a
Preliminary Design Report and a Final Design for upgrades to the City WTP. Design included
upgrades to existing systems (controls, chemical feed, security and safety), including automation
of their backup water supply with the County. HTA's experience spans the full spectrum of
Water Service Planning, all in an effort to assist its clients in addressing their needs, whether it
be a simple water line extension to a permit renewal to design or rehab of a Water Treatment
Plant.
Water Reuse
A major issue regarding water use currently and in the future is reuse. Groundwater resources
do have limitations and growth continues to occur in the area. The reuse of treated wastewater
for irrigation purposes has become a major water use process by many utilities in central Florida
as well as by agricultural and industrial users. LBG and its sub consultant have provided
assistance to clients regarding reuse activities.
A common constraint with the reuse process is storage of water. During wet weather conditions,
irrigation is not needed, so treated wastewater must be either stored are discharged. When wet
weather conditions occur in, treated wastewater is discharged due to lack of storage. There are
several approaches that the City could pursue to address reuse in the future, which is likely to be
an issue with the SJRWMD in the CUP process. The SJRWMD is promoting the use of
reclaimed water to offset potable water for irrigation with municipal supply systems. This
ultimately lowers the per capita use rate. One approach for future reuse is to develop a
residential reuse system similar to that of St. Petersburg or Dunedin. This approach is costly and
takes a great deal of time to develop and construct. Another approach is to interconnect with
other utilities. The City could consider providing constructing ASR wells for injecting the
treated wastewater into the Floridan aquifer for storage and then later withdraw for irrigation
purposes. The Formation appears to have the physical characteristics necessary for ASR
application. LBG has the expertise for assisting the City with ASR. Wet weather ponds could
also be considered. Regardless of the approach pursued by the City, LBG and its sub consultants
have the expertise to provide the services necessary to help the City with reuse activities.

6.0 LBG Qualifications
6.1 LBG Relevant Project Experience
LBG has provided professional hydrogeological consulting services in groundwater supply
development for more than 60 years. LBG has designed, permitted, constructed and tested 100's
of potable supply wells ranging in depth from 600 feet to 1,700 feet with capacities of 1 million
gallons per day (MGD) to 7 MGD each. Of the public groundwater supply developments in
Florida, LBG has been involved in more than 15 major well fields where the average permitted
withdrawals are approximately 250 MGD. LBG conducted the initial hydrogeological testing at
the Cypress Creek Well Field for the WCRWSA in 1973 in Pasco County, Florida. All activities
were closely coordinated with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).
LBG provided technical expertise for the permitting of the well field and prepared annual reports
regarding monitoring in the vicinity of the site. Potential impacts to the Upper Floridan aquifer
were assessed through construction of a numerical, finite- difference groundwater flow model.
LBG has provided hydrogeological consulting services to the City of St. Petersburg for more
than 60 years. These services have consisted of well field planning, design and development,
permitting assistance, expert testimony, well redevelopment, groundwater modeling, impact
analysis, monitoring program design and many other activities that relate to hydrogeology. As
a part of the well field development, LBG designed and supervised testing of the groundwater
system to locate the highest quality and greatest quantity of water available. For years, LBG has
"prepared annual reports" that are an evaluation of hydrologic conditions at the City's well fields.
LBG provided assistance to the City of St. Petersburg in renewing the Water Use Permits
(WUPs) for its three well fields. In addition, LBG conducted the statistical analysis of
hydrologic data in order to determine potential relationships between well field production and
hydrologic conditions. As part of this multifaceted investigation, LBG simulated many scenarios
of City well field production utilizing the groundwater flow model MODFLOW.
LBG has provided hydrogeological consulting services to the City of Sarasota to assist in
obtaining water use permits for its three well fields and in preparing a report on a water supply
Master Plan. LBG assisted in the design and construction of Reverse Osmosis (RO) supply
wells, salt -water monitor wells and in refurbishment of existing production wells. Refurbishment
has included relining and plugging of existing wells. In 1986, LBG completed a study of
hydrologic conditions in the vicinity of the Downtown R.O. Well Field. This study valuated
water level and water quality conditions of groundwater. In 1987, a study was completed
regarding the effects of the City's production on private wells downtown. A project involving
salt -water monitoring well design and monitoring procedures was completed for the City during
1992 in order to comply with the SWFWMD WUP conditions for the Downtown RO Well Field.
LBG prepared design specifications for a well required to monitor water quality and water levels
in the production zone. SWFWMD staff approved the design. Groundwater flow models have
been developed for all three of the City's well fields.
Recently, LBG assisted the City of Sarasota with the renewal of the WUP for the Verna Well
Field for the third time since 1980. The renewal application was submitted, several meetings
between the SWFWMD and City staff took place and requests for additional information were
addressed. The SWFWMD approved the WUP with conditions that were agreed upon with the

LBG has assisted the Orlando Utilities Commission with the expansion of water supply facilities
for the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) since the mid- 1980s. The primary role of LBG for
this work has been related to hydrogeological consulting. Included in these services have been
review of existing hydrogeological data for the groundwater regime and review of existing
municipal water supply well information. Numerical and analytical modeling was performed
in order to estimate potential pumping impacts and the design of new wells. LBG provided on-
site supervision during well construction, geophysical logging, video logging, and pumping tests.
LBG assisted in the planning, design, permitting and development of a new well field in
southwest Orlando. LBG successfully assisted OUC in obtaining a WUP for the new well field
from the SFWMD. Five supply wells, 1,400 feet deep with the capacity to withdraw 7 mgd each
have been constructed and tested. This facility has a treatment plant with a capacity to produce
40 mgd. Specific capacities of the wells have ranged from a high of almost 500 gallons per
minute per foot (gpm /ft) of drawdown to a low of less than 100 gpm /ft of drawdown.
LBG provided technical assistance in the process of setting Minimum Flows and Levels for an
approved list of water bodies and aquifers in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties. The
SWFWMD coordinated this process that has included participation from Tampa Bay Water,
county governments and other public and private stakeholders. LBG has actively participated
within the Technical Committees in determining the best criteria for the setting of the Minimum
Flows and Levels. We have assisted in the presentation and analysis of stage duration data for
lakes and aquifers and have offered potential methodology in utilizing this data for the setting of
the Minimum Flows and Levels.
Over the 60 year history of the firm, LBG has performed literally, hundreds of water - supply
investigations throughout the United States and in many foreign countries. The LBG staff has
hydrogeologists with unrivaled experience in providing professional services for groundwater
consulting in the area of water resources. The LBG staff of hydrogeologists committed to this
project have a combined total of over 100 years of experience in water resource consulting.
Water - supply investigations have been completed for a variety of clients including municipal,
county, regional and state agencies, as well as, commercial, industrial and private companies.
The firm prides itself in the design and development of well fields for potable water supply,
brackish water for reverse osmosis treatment, artificial recharge, and aquifer storage and
recovery projects. Services provided by LBG for water- supply investigations have included.
• Review of available data

• Expert testimony
• Well field management
• Field supervision
• Artificial recharge / ASR
• Brackish well design / testing
• Production well operation and maintenance
For investigations requiring insight that only groundwater flow simulations can provide, the first
step would be to determine if there are existing models and documentation that can adequately
address the needs of the project. After appropriate study of the existing literature, the next step
might be the simulation of an aquifer or aquifers utilizing analytical models such as Theis,
Cooper - Jacob, Hantush and many others too numerous to list here. Often the elegant simplicity
of an analytical model provides more than enough information to address the simulation and
predicative objectives of a water resource investigation.
The next step up in complexity is the utilization of finite difference, numerical models for the
simulation of groundwater flow, be it advective transport or solute transport. There are many
different types of numerical simulations that vary in complexity and in sophistication. Which
type to employ depends on the objectives of the individual project. The types of simulations
range from the most basic one layer, "impact" model to a regional, multiple layer, calibrated,
transient model. A variety of transport models ranging from basic particle tracking to three -
dimensional variable density models are used to solve problems involving contaminant migration
or saltwater intrusion. The LBG staff has extensive experience in using various numerical codes
such as the industry standard MODFLOW, as well as, MT3D, SWIFT III, HST3D, MODPATH,
FLOWPATH, MOC and MOCDENSE, to name a few. A wide variety of in- house, pre and post
processors are also typically utilized to facilitate the modeling process. Regardless of the
complexity required, LBG has the institutional and staff experience to design, construct, utilize
and interpret any groundwater flow model that may be required.
LBG has completed investigations involving the determination of well field capacities for
numerous well fields in southwest Florida. This has been a continuous process of estimating
well field impacts to the hydrologic systems utilizing a wide variety of hydrologic data such as
historical pumpage, rainfall, groundwater elevations, lake stage, and stream stage information.
Through the use of regression analysis and flow modeling, LBG has developed a thorough
knowledge of well field capacities. These analyses can be performed periodically to assist the
water suppliers in well field management.
LBG assists clients in obtaining operating permits from various regulatory and governmental
agencies. Water use permits are generally required by regulatory agencies before water can be
pumped from wells for drinking, irrigation or industrial use. Permits are also required for the
discharge disposal of water or wastewater. In many instances, the regulatory agencies require
supporting information before a permit will be issued. LBG assists its clients in obtaining this
supporting information by designing and performing aquifer- pumping tests, collecting and

evaluating data and preparing reports of testing results. Expert testimony has also been provided
during permit hearings. The LBG staff has provided these services whenever necessary and has
knowledge of the rules and procedures used by the permitting agencies in every locale where
services have been undertaken. In many instances permits contain special conditions that require
follow up analysis and reporting. LBG provides the necessary services to our clients for permit
compliance routinely. For example, most public water suppliers are required to submit annual
reports to the water management districts regarding well -field operations and management, and
hydrologic conditions.
LBG is currently active in a number of projects designed to better manage water resources at,
and in the vicinity of well fields in the Tampa Bay area. The traditional approach towards
mitigating potential well field impacts has been to decrease well field productions. This
approach alone is often very shortsighted and counterproductive to the long term water supply
demands. As a result, LBG has taken the position that if the available water resources in the
vicinity of the well fields are more effectively managed, cutbacks in production would not be
necessary to maintain the shallow hydrologic ecosystems.
LBG has substantial experience with site screening and hydraulic capacity analyses for
infiltration basin facilities. We have conducted a number of hydrogeological studies to
characterize proposed land application sites for effluent disposal in shallow and deep water table
settings. Our experience provides a high level of proficiency to reduce project costs by effective
use of available data to determine site constraints, to obtain additional hydraulic information
using efficient field techniques, and by using existing facility records to conduct hydraulic load
tests in place of extensive groundwater modeling. Disposal capacity is determined by
incorporating available hydrologic and hydraulic data using MODFLOW based numerical
models. Our approach to the design and operation of land application systems as regulated under
Florida Department of Environmental Protection Chapter 62 -610 provides reasonable assurance
that nutrient uptake within the unsaturated sediments beneath the basins will not be disrupted and
that adverse impacts will not occur to groundwater or surface -water quality.
Along with design, field testing, and hydraulic capacity analysis, LBG provides essential
services in compliance with FDEP Chapter 62 -610 Part IV rapid rate land application systems.
Key Part IV related services include.
• Setback standards and adjacent well inventory
• Down- gradient seepage and water quality at the zone of discharge
• Operation and maintenance, and loading and resting program
• Documentation to support an Engineering Report
• Land use, soils information, available hydrogeology information
• Hydraulic and nutrient loadings, nutrient uptake rates
• Hydraulic capacity analysis and groundwater flow modeling
• Assessment of water table fluctuations, water quality impacts, and potential offsite impacts
• Groundwater monitoring program

brackish groundwater, modeling, design, permitting and construction of water - supply wells.
Over the years, we have assisted many municipalities and others in the development of
groundwater from the Floridan aquifer. Following are select projects similar in nature to the
services required for this City of Ocoee project.
Leggette, Brashears & Graham provided hydrogeological services for groundwater
modeling, design and construction supervision for the expansion of two groundwater
public supply well fields for the City of Clearwater. This work was done in support of an
application for modifying the Water Use Permit through the Southwest Florida Water
Management District ( SWFWMD). One well field was for development of brackish
water supply to the existing R.O. plant and the other was for the development of fresh
water.
Water Use Permitting and Modeling
To assist in permitting, a three - dimensional groundwater flow model was developed
using the SWFWMD District -Wide Regulatory Model (DWRM2) to evaluate drawdown
in the surficial and Upper Floridian aquifers at the proposed permitted quantities. The
drawdown information was used to assess potential impacts to adjacent users, wetland
levels, and movement of the freshwater /saltwater interface.
A well field management plan was also developed to minimize drawdown impacts, and
a water -level monitoring plan was prepared. The permit was approved for the
requested well field expansion.
Well Construction and Testing
LBG managed the construction and testing of thirteen new supply wells and eleven new
monitoring wells. Two 10 -day aquifer performance tests were performed for this well
field expansion project after the water use permit was issued. After the wells were
installed, tested and operated for a period, the data for these new wells along with the
aquifer test results were then used to modify the previous water use permit by increasing
the total withdrawal rates of the well fields for meeting the City's water demands while
decreasing dependency on obtaining water from the regional water system.

Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. (LBG) has assisted the City of Tarpon Springs
with the development of an alternative water supply from a brackish groundwater
supply source. Tarpon Springs is located on Florida's Gulf coast and the aquifer
system contains brackish groundwater and is susceptible to salt -water intrusion.
Because this groundwater source is brackish, it was necessary to design and build a
reverse osmosis (RO) plant. The project has included assistance with obtaining
funding, well field design, well construction management, aquifer testing, water -
quality analysis, groundwater flow modeling and water use permitting (WUP).
SWFWMD Funding
LBG provided technical assistance to the City in support of funding for this brackish
groundwater supply project. Of note is that this project was the first that obtained
funding from the SWFWMD for developing a brackish groundwater supply. LBG
prepared a "White Paper" that was provided to the SWFWMD Pinellas - Anclote
Basin Board and SWFWMD Governing Board to support the funding request. LBG
also participated with the City in a number of SWFWMD staff and Board meetings.
Hydrogeological Evaluation
LBG designed a well construction and aquifer testing program to develop data to
assist in designing and permitting the brackish water well field. This testing program
provided very valuable groundwater quality data for the various formations of the
Floridan aquifer to better understand this layered aquifer system. Test wells were
installed in shallow Zone A, intermediate Zone B and deep Zone C of the Upper
Floridan aquifer, and a 15 day pumping test conducted.
Water Use Permitting
LBG provided assistance to the City in preparation of a WUP application for
submittal to the Water Management District. A key aspect of the permitting process
was groundwater flow modeling. Initially, the SWFWMD DWRM2 model was utilized
to assess the potential effects from pumping the new wells. Due to limitations of the
model in representing the hydrogeological system in the Tarpon Springs area, the
Northern District Model, which is more representative, was then utilized for the
permitting process. One of the primary permitting issues related to an MFL for the
groundwater system nearby and an MFL for the Anclote River. LBG came up with
several creative analyses to minimize, offset or eliminate impacts to those MFLs. The
SEAWAT model was also utilized to predict groundwater quality changes to expect
after 10 years of pumping to assist the engineers in RO plant design. LBG also
provided expert testimony to assist the City during an administrative hearing in
successfully obtaining the WUP. After the WUP was issued, LBG designed and
managed the construction of the production wells and monitoring wells. This work
also included all well testing, water - quality analysis and report preparation.
Hydrogeological data was collected for upper and lower Zones A, intermediate
Zone B and deep Zone C.

Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. (LBG) has provided services for renewal or
modification of Water Use Permits (WUPs) for four of the Hernando County Utilities
Departments (HCUD) public water supply systems.
West Hernando WUP
The final task in the project was the consolidation of the Water Use Permits (WUP)
for the West Hernando Dispersed Well Field and Spring Hill system into a single
WUP. LBG prepared the application package including a ground -water flow
model and statistical analysis of historic water quality data. The modeling was
performed using the Southwest Florida Water Management District -Wide
Regulatory Model. LBG developed a DWRM focus model for Hernando County
that accounts for the additional recharge in areas with high densities of septic tanks,
effluent percolation ponds and spray irrigation areas to more accurately simulate
the drawdown impacts due to ground -water pumping.
LBG is currently completing the renewal of the West Hernando system WUP for
a10-year duration. The primary issues addressed during this renewal were
demand projections and negotiation of special conditions related to development of
alternative sources, and monitoring and data analysis to identify potential adverse
impacts to Minimum Flow and Level water bodies.
East Hernando WUP Renewal /Modification
During the period of 2007 to 2008, the East Hernando System WUP was created
by combining five separate WUPs in eastern Hernando County as part of the
renewal /modification of the Ridge Manor WUP. The combined average annual
withdrawal was increased from 1.06 mgd to 3.8 mgd to account for projected
development in the area. New well sites were proposed, and an Impact Analysis
model was performed using the District -Wide Regulatory Model (DWRM). Aquifer
characteristics in the Focus model were adjusted to improve the model calibration.
Seville WUP Modification
During the period of 2007 to 2008, the Seville WUP was modified to increase the
average annual withdrawal from 12,800 gpd to 316,600 gpd as part of the
expansion of the Seville water system to meet projected growth in the area. An
Impact Analysis model was performed using the District -Wide Regulatory Model
(DWRM) to demonstrate that the increased withdrawal met the conditions for
issuance.
Dogwood Estates WUP Renewal
The Dogwood Estates WUP was renewed in 2009. The primary issue on this
renewal was maintaining permitted quantities in light of low growth projections and
compliance with new per capita use requirements. An Impact Analysis model was
performed using the District -Wide Regulatory Model (DWRM) to demonstrate that
the requested withdrawal met the conditions for issuance.

LBG provided hydrogeologic consulting services for the City of Sarasota to assist
in obtaining water use permits for its three well fields and in preparing a report
on a water supply Master Plan. The following is a brief synopsis on services
provided to the City. The City has two fresh -water supply facilities and one
Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) facility. In recent years, LBG has assisted in the design
and construction of R.O. supply wells, monitor wells and in refurbishment of
existing production wells. Refurbishment has included relining and plugging of
existing wells. Ground -water flow models have been developed for each well
field to evaluate effects on the resource and for future planning. During the
permitting process, LBG represented the City by obtaining information necessary
to complete the application and attending meetings with the Southwest Florida
Water Management District (SWFWMD) staff. The process was quite complicated
and lengthy due to SWFWMD concerns of the resources in the Water Use Caution
Area. LBG successfully assisted in obtaining WUPs for the quantities of water
requested at all three well fields.
In 1989, LBG assisted the City of Sarasota in evaluating effects on its Verna Well
Field due to other pumpage in the region, primarily from agricultural operations.
The Verna Well Field is located in a rural area and has been operating since the
early 1960's. Since that time, agricultural irrigation in the region has been
steadily growing. LBG developed a three - dimensional computer model using
MODFLOW to predict and document effects of ground -water pumpage on the
City's facilities. A 5 -layer model simulating various aquifers and semi - confining
units of the intermediate and Floridan aquifers was prepared. The model was
calibrated and verified and then utilized to predict drawdown and the
displacement of poor quality water for multiple scenarios. Ultimately, LBG
assisted the City in providing support through expert testimony on hydrogeologic
conditions and modeled effects at permit hearings. Through the use of data and
results generated by LBG, the City was successful in its attempt to control
pumpage in the region. A project involving monitoring well design and monitoring
procedures was completed for the City during 1992 in order to comply with the
SWFWMD Water Use Permit conditions for the Downtown R.O. Well Field. LBG
prepared design specifications for a well required to monitor water quality and
water levels in the production zone. SWFWMD staff approved the design. The
project also called for the preparation of testing procedures for production wells.
LBG prepared a guidance document for assisting City staff in the performance of
specific capacity and aquifer pumping tests. The testing procedures were
prepared with regard to construction characteristics of existing wells.
In 1998, LBG assisted the City with the renewal of the Downtown R.O. Well Field
and Bobby Jones Well Field WUPs. The City was presented a Draft WUP for the
R.O. well field that contained chloride trigger levels on each production well. Our
evaluation of those proposed levels made it apparent that the City would
experience operational problems in meeting demand. LBG proposed to the
SWFWMD an alternative permit condition that eliminated the chloride trigger
levels from the production wells and included them on regional monitoring wells
instead. This approach was accepted by the SWFWMD, which allows greater
flexibility in operating the R.O. production wells.

LBG developed a 20 -year Master Water Plan for County to determine how much
of the future demand could be obtained from the existing wells by way of
infrastructure improvements, how much will be needed from new sources, and to
identify potential new source types and locations.
Water Supply Planning
The evaluation consisted of three parts: 1) hydraulic modeling of the water system
to identify potential infrastructure improvements needed to increase production
from the existing wells and to determine the amount of water needed from new
sources; 2) identification of potential new sources of water; and 3) development
of a regional ground -water flow modeling to assess the regional hydrologic
impacts from the proposed future withdrawals derived from the hydraulic water
system model. The regional model was used to develop a pumping configuration
to minimize the potential for saltwater intrusion in the western part of the County,
and impacts to lakes, wetlands, rivers, and spring systems throughout the County.
Well Testing and Evaluation
The project also included a study to evaluate the physical condition of several
existing wells in the West Hernando and Spring Hill systems to help determine the
capability of expanding existing facilities. The evaluation included geophysical
logging and pump testing to determine the hydraulic and water quality conditions
for each well. Recommendations were made for well modifications to improve
well efficiency and protect water quality.
Water Use Permitting
The final task in the project was the consolidation of the Water Use Permits (WUP)
for the West Hernando Dispersed Well Field and Spring Hill system into a single
WUP. LBG prepared the application package including a ground -water flow
model and statistical analysis of historic water quality data. The modeling was
performed using the Southwest Florida Water Management District -Wide
Regulatory Model. LBG developed a DWRM focus model for Hernando County
that accounts for the additional recharge in areas with high densities of septic
tanks, effluent percolation ponds and spray irrigation areas to more accurately
simulate the drawdown impacts due to ground -water pumping. Water quality
data from several production wells were analyzed graphically and with linear
regressions to assess potential degradation of water quality due to saltwater
intrusion. The analysis showed that there were no significant increasing trends in
chloride data from the wells.

Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. (LBG) was retained by the City of Zephyrhills
to provide hydrogeologic services related to the permitting, installation and
testing of Production Well Nos. 11 and 12.
Water Use Permitting
The existing Water Use Permit was modified to change the location of the
proposed wells. The modification included the use of the District Wide
Regulatory Model (DWRM) to evaluate the change in drawdown impacts with the
new wells locations. Of particular interest was maintaining no new drawdown at
the boundary of the Hillsborough River basin.
Well Design
Two 16 -inch diameter production wells, cased to 200 feet below land surface
and a total depth of 650 feet were designed for the project. The design
capacity for each well was 1,500 gpm.
Bidding Assistance
LBG prepared technical specifications for the construction and testing of the
production and monitoring well. LBG reviewed the bids and made a
recommendation for award of a contract to construct and test the wells.
Well Construction and Testing
An LBG hydrogeologist was on site to observe all well drilling and testing
activities during well construction as required by the SWFWMD in the WUP. The
oversight activities by LBG during well construction consisted of the following
items:
Construction of Well No. 11 (16 -inch diameter casing) to a final depth of 651
feet below land surface (bls) and construction of Well No. 12 (12 -inch diameter
casing) to a final depth of 597 feet bls.
Collection of lithologic drill cuttings (5 -foot intervals) and completion of lithologic
drill logs.
Performance of drill stem specific capacity tests and collection of water - quality
samples during reverse -air drilling.
Performance of geophysical logs and video surveys.
Performance of step -rate pumping tests and constant rate pumping tests on the
two wells to obtain time - drawdown data used to estimate aquifer transmissivity
in the vicinity of the production wells.
Collection of water samples from the production wells and analysis of primary
and secondary drinking water standards by a state approved independent test
laboratory.

A LBG assisted Manatee County Utilities with development of additional water
supply sources. The projects included expansion of the County's East County Well
Field, and development of a brackish - groundwater source at the North Regional
WWTF.
East County Well Field Expansion
The existing East County Well Field was expanded by two million gallons per day
average annual and four million gallons per day peak month. The increase, which
was located outside of the SWFWMD designated Most Impacted Area (MIA) was
facilitated by a reduction in pumping inside the MIA by transfer of permitted
quantity from an agricultural Water Use Permit (WUP) to the East County Well
Field WUP.
North County Regional WWTF Brackish Ground Water Well Field
Test production wells and associated monitoring wells were constructed at the North
Regional WWTF for the purpose of collecting hydrogeological data for design,
permitting, and construction of a brackish groundwater well field for treatment with
reverse osmosis. All testing was designed, managed and evaluated by LBG. Results
were favorable and assisted in designing the new well field and obtaining a WUP
for the County.
Water Use Permitting
Water Use Permitting was a key aspect of both projects, as the both projects
resulted in the potential for new impacts inside the MIA. As a result, the potential
impacts inside the MIA were required to be offset by reduction in pumping, and
transfer of existing permitted quantities from agricultural parcels being converted
to residential use. Groundwater modeling using the SWFWMD District Wide
Regulatory Model with the Southern District Model as the model code was used to
evaluate the interaction between potentiometric surface recovery from the
transferred agricultural permits and new drawdown from the proposed well fields.
A methodology based on a comparison of recovery and new drawdown volumes
within the MIA was developed to quantify the amount of offset and required "net
benefit" resulting from the transfer of quantities. As a result, the SWFWMD issued
a new consolidated WUP to the County. This WUP included authorized withdrawal
quantities for the Counties existing surface reservoir, ASR wells, East County Well
Field and the new North County Well Field.

Aquifer Monitoring and Testing Plan - Hydrogeologic and water use permitting
services for the City of Dunedin included many activities. An aquifer monitoring
and testing plan was developed by LBG in accordance with the City's WUP. The
plan was submitted to the SWFWMD for review and was implemented upon their
approval. This study included investigating the cause and effect relationships for
salt -water intrusion at the City's production wells and future well -field operation
and management plans.
Hydrogeologic Evaluation - An in depth review of published reports and other
information was performed by LBG to assist in defining the hydrogeologic
conditions of the Dunedin and surrounding area. Reports prepared by the USGS,
SWFWMD and other consultants were very beneficial in completing this task. The
construction characteristics and historical pumpage and water - quality data were
evaluated to determine their effectiveness. Statistical analysis of hydrologic data
including pumpage, chloride concentrations and water levels were performed to
determine if trends occurred that explained the causes for salt -water intrusion.
The results of this analysis indicated that localized upconing of poor quality water
has occurred primarily due to concentrated pumpage.
Brackish Ground -Water Evaluation - Another important aspect of the study was
the potential for developing a brackish ground -water source. The City of Dunedin
constructed a Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) treatment facility several years ago with the
intent of utilizing a poorer quality ground water to minimize effects on the limited
fresh -water aquifer in the area. LBG worked with the City, USGS and SWFWMD
on a cooperatively funded project to assess the potential for developing brackish
ground water. Several test wells were designed and constructed at the R.O. plant
site. LBG prepared an aquifer testing program that was submitted to the
SWFWMD and approved for implementation. Results from geophysical logs,
water - quality analysis and specific- capacity tests have indicated that there is
great potential for developing a brackish groundwater supply.
Modeling - A ground -water flow model, using MODFLOW, was developed for
the Dunedin and surrounding area. The model was used to accomplish several
tasks. First, to define the ground -water flow system of the area. Next it was used
to assess upconing effects of pumping the current wells versus effects from
pumping deeper, brackish water wells. This analysis also indicated that
development of brackish water was favorable while minimizing effects of
upconing in the fresh -water aquifer. A safe yield of the limited fresh -water
aquifer was also determined. The model has also been utilized to modify the
Water Use Permit.
Well Field Management Plan - As a result of all evaluations, LBG prepared a
well -field management plan. This plan included the use of existing wells,
modification of existing wells, the phasing out of some wells and the construction of
new brackish -water wells. The intent of the well -field management plan was to
blend water produced from the deeper brackish water wells and the shallower
fresh -water wells, and then treat at the City's Reverse Osmosis Plant. The plan
also includes well -field layout production rates and monitoring recommendations
and production well maintenance.

The City developed a brackish water supply well field to supply a planned 2 mgd
reverse osmosis treatment facility at the site of the existing Myakkahatchee Creek
softening plant. Six 12 -inch diameter wells were cased to a depth of 240 feet
and completed to 320 feet drawing from Intermediate aquifer limestone
production zone PZ -3. LBG and Water District staff worked closely to fulfill
requirements for test well installation, aquifer testing and analyses, and
groundwater flow model calibration to obtain permit authorization within 90 days
after the application was filed. Expedited testing and permitting was critical for
the City to meet contract obligations for construction of the reverse osmosis
treatment facility.
Aquifer testing was conducted for 10 days to define hydraulic properties of the
Intermediate production zone and overlying leakance units, and to size supply
wells and pumps. Groundwater flow modeling was employed to assess the
potential for water supply development of the Intermediate aquifer in the area,
and to simulate surficial aquifer responses to long term withdrawals. The Water
District's regional DWRM model was calibrated by matching water level
drawdown measured during aquifer testing in the production zone and overlying
formation.

6.3 Computer Capabilities
LBG has the capabilities to provide a full range of technical computer services which can be
tailored to fit any project need. LBG routinely uses the Internet for accessing information and
transferring numerous types of data and other documentation. We have a web page
(Ibgweb.com) and David Wiley's email address is dwiley @lbgtampa.com. Extensive graphics
and statistical analysis packages are also available. High speed (fiber optic) communication
links with the Internet facilitate project communication and transfer. The workhorses of our
systems are Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 equipped units. All technical computers are equipped
with graphic accelerator cards and 1680 by 1080 High Definition monitors. Server units and
CAD work stations utilize latest technology for high speed video and hard disk performance.
In -house computing is accomplished by Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 work stations with
terabyte hard disks, compact disks, and high- capacity flash drives. Site plan design with the
CAD system is a very efficient process because table digitizer and flatbed scanners allow the
rapid entry of geographical data. Color plots as large as 36 inches by 48 inches are also possible
with this system. The CAD system is interfaced with a water - quality database so that three
dimensional contours of contamination concentrations can easily be generated. This database is
also used to generate rigged surfaces for three - dimensional contaminant - transport groundwater
models. Automated Monte Carlo statistical calibration routines are used to speed -up the
calibration process and show more detailed sensitivity tests.
All software is continuously updated and personnel are trained to fully utilize new versions.
These systems are loaded with the Microsoft Office Suite and several CAD systems such as
AUTOCAD Map 3D, ESRI ArcGIS, and CORELDRAW Graphics Suite. All word processing is
performed using WordPerfect or Microsoft Word. LBG has comprehensive experience with GIS
systems and the design of GIS databases. We are familiar with all standardized coordinate
systems used in the state and federal agencies and can convert each coordinate system to either
the prevalent coordinate system of the agency with the most data or whatever system that the
City of Sarasota chooses. Mr. Tim Harrell of LBG has completed several large -scale GIS
projects that involved land use and zoning issues, surface and ground -water quality and quantity,
definition of wellhead protection areas, ground -water flow modeling, and watershed
management. GIS technology became available in the late 1980's and became widely used only
recently (in the early to mid- 1990's). LBG has maintained a position at the forefront of GIS
technology and has conducted a wide variety of applications depending on the nature of the
project. ArcView and Arclnfo are currently the state of the art design software and LBG
currently uses ArcView for most of their projects.
6.4 Current & Projected Work Load
Workload and Availability
Currently, LBG's workload in Orlando and Tampa is at about 50% chargeability. This is well
below the goal of 70 %. In the foreseeable horizon, the existing workload is not projected to
increase significantly due to few upcoming projects. We have several large projects and many
small projects. The small projects are typically less than 40 hours. The larger projects do not
require full time staff and only need interim attention. In summary, due to our current and
projected workload, LBG can readily provide the manpower necessary to meet the requirements

PROJECT APPROACH
The City of Ocoee is one of the largest cities in Orange County. It is situated at the
cross roads of State Road 50, Florida's Turnpike, State Road 408, and State Road 429.
With its large size, its close proximity to Orlando, and accessibility for its current and
future residents to the region's largest employers, the City of Ocoee is poised for major
residential and commercial growth. One of the most important infrastructure needs to
support the City's future growth is water supply.
Andreyev Engineering, Inc. has extensive experience providing permit consulting
services for Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) applications for government municipalities,
private utilities, developers, and agricultural related businesses. Our technical expertise
in this specialized area includes water supply planning, aquifer characterization,
regional groundwater modeling, development of groundwater model for specific areas if
necessary, development of economically feasible alternative water supplies,
environmental impact analysis, spring and wetland impact mitigation, preparation of
permit documents, well design and construction monitoring, aquifer performance
testing, soil and groundwater testing, and compliance monitoring. Our full understanding
of regulatory requirements coupled with our local experience and resources will provide
the City of Ocoee cost effective solutions to successfully implement its water supply
needs.
Traditionally, groundwater pumped directly from the Floridan aquifer system has been
the norm for potable water supply and for irrigation water sources. However, the
continued development and thousands of pumping wells in the central Florida region
have created an imbalance of recharge and withdrawal. The water management
districts are now requiring all applicants to evaluate and /or develop alternative water
supplies. Based on AEI's extensive local experience and the site specific knowledge of
the City of Ocoee water supply system, the city has limited options for effective
alternative water supply sources.
For this region with limited sources of surface water, the capture and reuse of
stormwater runoff and artificial aquifer recharge is the least expensive and most
effective option for long term aquifer management and sustainability of water supply for
the City of Ocoee. Aquifer recharge is the natural process of water cycle in the region
that has been in effect for thousands of years. As development progresses, drainage
improvements and groundwater withdrawal creates an imbalance of this natural cycle.
The idea of capturing stormwater runoff and artificially recharging the aquifer is simply
to restore the natural cycle of aquifer recharge. The aquifer recharge imbalance can be
observed through evaluation of historic groundwater levels and potentiometric surface
of the aquifers and the historic spring flow rates. To mitigate the observed aquifer
recharge imbalance, the aquifer can be artificially recharged by applying water at
specific (strategic) locations. The water sources for aquifer recharge can be reclaimed
water, captured stormwater, surface waters from natural and artificial drainage systems,
creeks and rivers, or even groundwater extracted from other regions of the aquifer
system.
For the City of Ocoee, the artificial aquifer recharge is very important as the captured
stormwater generally occurs during wet season periods when irrigation water demand is
low and stormwater runoff is abundant. The artificial aquifer recharge can occur during
these periods of excess captured stormwater. Due to the slow process of water
movement from recharge at the surface to the underlying Floridan aquifer system, it is
possible to apply the recharge during wet season period to achieve long term beneficial
effects.
The first task AEI will undertake is to meet with the City of Ocoee staff to discuss its
past water usage, current demands, and projected future demands. AEl will review the
City's Comprehensive Plan and assist with assessing the future water supply needs
based on the future development projections.
AEI will carefully review the existing CUP document and review past water use data.
We will analyze this data to evaluate whether there is a need to modify the existing
CUP. AEl will also review all available data associated with the City's CUP including
well pumping data, monitoring data, reclaimed water use, and water quality data.
AEI will assist the City in analyzing the City's future growth and calculation of the water
consumption projections using the per capita use rate analysis required by St. Johns
River Water Management District ( SJRWMD). This data will be used to support the
City's CUP renewal application. This data will also be used to determine the necessity
of any water supply related amendments that the City may need to implement to its
Comprehensive Plan.
AEI will assist the City with conceptual planning and final determination of any new well
or well fields that will be required to meet the future water supply needs of the City. The
conceptual planning will take into account environmentally sensitive areas, karst
features, and any known environmental contamination areas. The location and
pumping rates from future wells will include regional groundwater modeling to assess
potential drawdown impacts on MFL lakes and wetlands and potential spring flow
impacts in the region. AEI has the latest regional groundwater flow model developed by
the SJRWMD and is very proficient at its utilization for CUP permitting.
AEI will assist the City to identify potential areas of stormwater capture and shallow
aquifer groundwater sources for reclaimed water augmentation. One of the potential
sources of alternative water is the underdrain discharge from the existing rapid
infiltration basins (RIBs). Other areas may include retention ponds and drainage
systems both existing and future. If the future withdrawals create unacceptable
potential impacts in the region, then a local area alternative water supply plan can be
developed for implementation over a period of 20 years, which can be funded through
various grants and matching funds that are available to the City. In addition to the
SJRWMD, a new potential funding source is the Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI)
program that has a component to specifically fund stormwater capture and reuse
sources. Nicolas Andreyev has been and continues to serve on the CFWI committee
responsible for identifying specific stormwater capture projects to be included in the
over all plan for funding and implementation.
AEI will provide the necessary technical assistance to assure that the City maintains full
compliance with the conditions of the current and future water supply permits.
AEI is fully capable of providing all of the necessary engineering, planning,
implementation, and compliance support services that will be required by the City for its
current and future water supply needs.

LIST OF SIMILAR PROJECTS
(Performed Within the Last 2 Years)
City of Winter Garden Alternative Water Supply Plan Development: This
project was developed for the City of Winter Garden in order to address the long
term potential for stormwater capture and reuse for either direct irrigation
purposes or for storage and subsequent artificial recharge of the impacted
aquifer. The direct irrigation option is straight forward and the captured storm
water is simply combined with the already existing reclaimed water sources for
irrigation. The conceptual artificial aquifer recharge plan was developed with
several options to store excess runoff water into large surface basins and then
use the water during dry periods of the year to recharge the aquifer system up
gradient of the potable water production wells.
For the conceptual alternative water supply and artificial aquifer recharge plan
the following scope of work was conducted:
1. Obtained the latest regional groundwater flow model from the SJRWMD and
utilized the aquifer parameter data to identify beneficial artificial aquifer
recharge areas for City's water supply wells and for spring flow restoration.
2. Identified and reviewed available properties owned by or accessible to the
City that can be used for stormwater capture and for artificial aquifer
recharge. This was obtained from City's GIS database,
3. Identified and reviewed available surface water bodies, drainage ways,
canals, existing stormwater retention areas and other water source areas for
potential capture of surface water and groundwater that would normally
discharge to Lake Apopka. Identification of source water areas were not
considered in the areas of closed drainage basins, where excess water will
naturally recharge the aquifer. The capture of source water was restricted to
areas along the southern shores of Lake Apopka, where multiple creeks and
drainage ways discharge directly into the lake. Capture of these water
sources will be beneficial both for the aquifer recharge and for water quality
improvement in Lake Apopka.
4. Identified and selected three (3) source water sites along the south shore of
Lake Apopka, These include existing stormwater drainage systems and
discharge points from the City's downtown drainage basins. The water
source sites will require considerable design modifications to convert the
existing areas into large stormwater retention and capture systems. Prepared
conceptual plans for an under (horizontal well) filtration system to
capture stormwater and /or groundwater for direct augmentation into the
existing City Reclaimed Water System.
5. Based on the data collected and review of existing drainage systems within
the city limits and input from City's staff, three (3) potential source water
locations have been identified. The 3 sites were selected based on their
potential capture of significant amount of stormwater which currently receives
minimal pre - treatment prior to discharge to Lake Apopka. These sites are
located near existing reclaimed water transmission lines and can be easily
connected to the overall city's reclaimed water system. A conceptual
alternative water supply and artificial aquifer recharge plan was prepared and
submitted to SJRWMD to comply with District's "DWSP 2010 update -
Altemative Water Supply (A INS) project ".
West Volusia Water Suppliers, Volusia County: This project consisted of
development of a transient regional groundwater model for the western Volusia
County. The model was developed for the municipal water suppliers in the
region, including Volusia County, City of Deland, City of Deltona and Orange
City. The combined potable water supply needs for these suppliers is about 30
MGD. The project included converting the existing SJRWMD's steady state
regional model to a transient model and recalibrating the model to 9 years of
observed data. The model incorporated all known withdrawals (municipal,
commercial, agricultural, private, other), all known effluent disposal systems, all
known irrigation areas, all stormwater recharge, all surface runoff and direct
discharges, all known spring flow data, known stormwater capture and reuse,
lake level data, wetland level data and aquifer monitoring well data. The final
model was then used to assess future impacts on local area lakes, wetlands,
spring flows and other legal water users. The refined and improved regional
model was peer reviewed and accepted by the SJRWMD for CUP permitting.
City of Deltona: Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) renewal for the Water Utility
Department. This included specific impact and cumulative impact modeling for
18.3 MGD of groundwater withdrawal in the sensitive Blue Springs watershed
area. The modeling involved updating the transient regional groundwater model
developed by AEI for the region, re- calibration of the model for a 10 -year period
for multiple aquifer monitoring points and springs in the region. With respect to
potential saltwater intrusion, a region specific analytical model was developed
and calibrated to actual water quality data at the existing wells. The calibrated
model was then used to model the effects of future groundwater withdrawal and
the predicted change of water quality at the existing and future wells. The project
included preparation of hydrogeologic report in support of the CUP renewal
through the SJRWMD. A 20 year CUP was successfully obtained for the City of
Deltona in 2013.
Marion County Utilities, Marion County, Florida -- Projects include
consolidation of all the Utility's Water Use Permits in the Southwest Florida Water
Management District and consolidation of all of the Utility's Consumptive Use
Permits in the St. Johns River Water Management District. Other projects
include numerous RIB assessment projects. Projects also included are public
supply well investigations, water quality testing, and refurbishment projects.
City of DeLand, Florida - This project included the development of water
resources section of the master plan for the city for the year 2015. This included
determination of the realistically obtainable groundwater resources in the region,
assessment of the States policies and regulations concerning the future use and
protection of groundwater resources in the region and development of a planning
tool for the city to be used for future selection of water supply options. The final
master plan included service area maps indicating the best locations for future
expansion of wellfields, water reuse areas, aquifer recharge areas and the
projected water requirements on a 5 -year phased approach basis.
LIST OF SIMILAR PROJECTS
(Performed More than 2 Years Ago)
City of Ocoee VWUTP RIBs, Orange County - This project included
instrumentation and monitoring of the existing RIBs at the treatment plant site for
full -scale hydraulic load test and determination of the optimum disposal capacity
of the ponds. The optimum disposal capacity was determined to be that which
would produce the highest long -term average disposal capacity without
daylighting of groundwater at the adjacent topographical low ground surface
areas. A multi -layer groundwater flow model (MODFLOW) was created for the
RIB site and surrounding areas, calibrated to the observed monitoring data and
then modeled to estimate the optimum disposal capacity of the RIBs.
City of Ormond Beach, Florida - This project consisted of development and
implementation of a regional saltwater intrusion groundwater monitoring plan for
the various city wellfields. The development and implementation of the
monitoring plan was part of the requirements of the SJRWMD. The plan included
characterization of the effective aquifer system in the region, selection of number
and depth of monitoring wells, which ranged from 250 to 400 feet deep,
permitting and installation of monitoring wells. The purpose of the monitoring
plan was to evaluate the trends of saltwater intrusion into the city wellfield system
and to provide an early warning system for potential contamination of aquifer.

was authorized to begin design and permitting of the Injection Well System.
Permitting of the project thru SFWMD and FDEP UIC was completed for a Class V
Group 9 exploratory well, consisting of a 24 -inch diameter well to 3200 feet, and an
associated dual zone monitoring well with monitoring intervals of 1650 and 1900 feet
below grade. AEI provided full -time QA /QC construction oversight and FDEP TAC
reporting of the project. The well construction project was completed in August of
2008 under budget and within a period of about 6 months from the date of start of
construction. AEI's remaining contract tasks will be to re- permit the well, provide
additional test data and obtain permission for operational testing from FDEP. After
an acceptable period of operational testing, AEI will obtain and operations permit
from FDEP for the operation of the injection well system.
