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 pages. 14 -,- SMW Geosciences, Inc.

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. 16 + - SMW Geosciences, Inc. Groundwater 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. Niagara Bottling SMW completed numerous groundwater model runs using the SJRWMD's ECF model to evaluate the potential for impacts to MFL wetlands and spring flows by transferring groundwater withdrawals from the Upper Floridan aquifer to the Lower Floridan aquifer. Permit allocation for 0.91 mgd issued 2/14.

City of Leesburg Public Supply — Main CUP (Well field allocation re -rate) SMW recently completed groundwater model runs using the SJRWMD's ECF model to evaluate the potential for impacts to both North and South Lake Apshawa (MFL wetlands) in support of modifications to permitted well field withdrawals and source aquifers. Permit for 9.13 mgd re- issued 9/13 City of Groveland — Entire Service Area 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. District is reviewing entire service area allocation in excess of 2.Omgd. Application under review. UCF Academic Village II Geothermal Supply System SMW completed groundwater modeling using the SJRWMD's ECF groundwater model to evaluate withdrawal and injection scenarios from the lower Upper Floridan aquifer and the upper Upper Floridan aquifer, respectively, to demonstrate no adverse environmental impacts on aquifers. Permit allocation of 1.42 mgd issued 6/13. 17 - -w -- SMW Geosciences, Inc. 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 18 ► SMW GeoScienc es, inc. 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. 19 - SMW GeoSciences, Inc. 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. 22 SMW Geosciences, Inc. Modeling Software and Experience SMW Maintains licensed software of all requirements for this RFP's requirements and Ms. Whitaker has been developing and working with groundwater models since 1982.

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.

For the past 20 years the main 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 requests may be required.

This combination of experience, knowledge, and associations will be of considerable value to the city. The BFA Team commits that the City will receive excellent support on this important contract. Sincerely, Barnes, rl d and Assoi Patrick A. Barnes, P.G. President / CEO s 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 Z - B.FA D�.� AN0 & VERGARA CONSULTING, LLC pleased to present our exceptionally skilled, talented and experienced team with its proven record of service to city owned operations to expertly meet the needs of the City of Ocoee as described in its RFQ for Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services. 1.2 Proposed Team Members The City of Ocoee is the primary member of our team with BFA being an extension of the city staff working with you to provide you with quality professional hydrogeological and water supply /planning services.

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. 1-29 B_ F_A DSV _ DUNN, SALSANO & VERGARA CONSULTING, LLC 1.7 Current or Recently Completed Projects Barnes, Ferland and Associates, Inc. (BFA) Orange County Utilities /PB Americas - Integrated Water Resource Project Since 2002, BFA has provided engineering and hydrogeologic support services to PB Americas for the Orange County Integrated Water Resource Program. Projects emphasized an integrated system -wide approach to prioritizing and solving the future water resources challenges facing Orange County. BFA provided technical assistance to PB Water on the following list of projects: • Water Supply Monitoring Program (2003 -2008) - collected monthly water levels and upgraded equipment • Detailed Water Conservation Evaluation • Drainage Basin Water Transfer Studies -Lake Olivia and Lake Sherwood • ASR Desktop Screening Evaluations — surface water and reclaimed water sources • Brackish Groundwater Desktop Screening Evaluation • Population and Flow Projection Updates • Southern Regional Water Supply Facility - hydrogeologic assistance during the construction 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. South Florida Water Management District /BFA - Science and Engineering Support Services In support of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Program (CERP), Barnes, Ferland and Associates, Inc. (BFA) fulfilled a variety of functions within the fields of environmental engineering, hydraulic engineering, hydrology, flow monitoring, hydrologic data processing and analysis, hydrogeology, laboratory chemical analysis, scientific data validation, environmental toxicology, biogeochemistry and chemistry, assessment of laboratory and field protocols, and water quality monitoring, that apply directly to the requested services. Below is a summary of some of the projects BFA completed under this Contract: 1 -31 DSV DUTNN, SALSANO & WROARA CONSULTING, LLC 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.

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 1 -33 _3FA DSV DUNK, SALSANO & VF,RGARA CONSULTIN LLC 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. 1 -35 .SFA DSV DUNK, SALSANO & vERGARA CONSULTING. LLC 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. 1 -36 BFA DSV DUNN, SALSANO & VF,RGARA CONSULTING, LLC 1.8 Current and Projected Workload For the key BFA and DSV staff shown on our organizational chart, we have estimated availability based on projects which are currently contracted, or officially selected for.

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.

(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. r$ 'Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. �v Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 5 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services — City of Ocoee Regional needs deserve regional solutions.

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. 4.0 Statement of Work 4.1 Project Understanding It is our understanding that the City of Ocoee is soliciting statements of qualifications from qualified professional hydrological & water supply /planning firms that are interested in providing professional services to assist the City. The firm must be experienced in providing professional services for projects of a scope and nature comparable to those described in the RFQ. Use of qualified sub consultants for specialty work is acceptable. To be considered, the firm shall be qualified by a licensed professional in accordance with Florida State law and be familiar with all applicable State of Florida, St. Johns River Water Management District, Orange County, and City land development codes, regulations, and laws, and with City and Orange County construction standards. It is our understanding that the City intends to award a continuing contract to one firm deemed to be the most highly qualified to perform the required services. In determining whether a firm or individual is qualified, the City shall consider such factors as the firm's locale, the ability of professional personnel, whether a firm is a certified minority business enterprise, experience on similar projects, experience with city and /or area project issues, and client references for similar projects. The firm selected by the City will be expected to provide professional services to the City on an as- needed basis, based upon task orders to be issued by the City under the continuing contract. We also understand that the City intends to award a continuing contract to one deemed to be the most highly qualified to perform the required services. The continuing contract shall have an initial three (3) year period with two automatic one -year renewable extensions, for a maximum of five (5) total years. In addition, the selected firm shall NOT be eligible to provide other professional services to the City that are not covered in this RFQ during the contract period. > Y ; Leggette, Brashears &Graham, Inc. ._` i Professional Cround -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 6 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services — City of Ocoee The contractual scope of services shall include, but not be limited to, services needed in assisting the City's efforts to comply with City C.U.P. conditions and 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 SJRWMD and FDEP. The scope shall also include assisting the City with information requests. 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. rBC Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 7 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydro & Water Supply /Pla nning Services — City of Ocoee 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. rBC Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page s Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Se — City of Ocoee 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. & Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. ,�� Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 9 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services — City of Ocoee A WEST FEET 200 NGVD 29 200 400 600 Boo 1.000 1.200 1,400 1.600 1,800 2000 2200 . 2,400 IWI GENERALIZED HYDROGEOLOGIC SECTION z t r 10 KILOMETERS A ' EAST FEET 200 NGVD29 200 400 600 Boo 1,000 1,200 1.400 1,600 1.800 2,000 2,200 2 400 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 rB c `Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. 3 Professional Ground -Water and Environtnental Engineering Services Page K Souica o(ax'Mor ntonnaM1m tf fitilNa 4 th,o s P,W '.E L .'ALE -:, E `11 -1k-: 0 5 10 MILES Request for Qualifications Professiona Hydrolog & Water Supp /Pl ann i ng Se — C o Ocoee 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 disposal sites, major water transmission lines, wastewater treatment sites and transmission facilities, water storage facilities and the service area; • A map showing the approximate locations of other wells not owned by the City including domestic wells, irrigation wells and public supply wells, and locations of monitor wells within 400 feet of the well field property boundaries; • A map showing wetlands greater than 0.56 acre in size within 400 feet of the well field property boundaries; L BG Leggette.

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 a waiver of the clock, which is usually granted by the SJRWMD staff. Finally, after the SJRWMD receives responses from the applicant, they can request a clarification of the information. Again, the same time clock elements apply. LBG is very experienced at all phases of the permitting process and can efficiently and effectively assist the City. The following contains a typical project schedule for the CUP renewal process.

Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 12 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Wa ter Supply /Planning Services - City of Ocoee Enzineerink Services 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 �B Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 13 Request for Qualifications Professional Hyd r o l og ical & Water Supply /Plan ning Services — City of Ocoee 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. 5.0 Project Management 5.1 LBG Project Management In its 60 years of providing professional services in the field of groundwater geology, LBG has developed a project management approach that has been both realistic and functional. The project management methods are based on the following elements: • The use of experienced and qualified personnel • The internal training programs and close supervision of new personnel • Strict internal quality control measures • Time and budgetary control tracking • Close coordination and interfacing with both the client and regulatory agencies ' L Leggette, Brashears &Graham, Inc. Professionnl Ground- Y6nrer and Environnientnt Engineering Services Page 14 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services — City of Ocoee The success of this project management approach is measured by the repeat business from a large number of clients that utilize the professional services of LBG at multiple sites. All projects undertaken by LBG are under the supervision of a principal with the firm. The principal is involved from the initial phases of each project through review and completion of all work products. Any report that is generated is reviewed by a principal. David A.

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 4 L B, c � Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 18 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services — City of Ocoee cit 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 • Specific capacity testing of existing wells • Test program design • Well construction design • Construction supervision of water - supply wells and monitor wells • Aquifer performance test design • Aquifer performance testing • Water - quality evaluation • Permitting ,- °- .1 F \ ; W Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc.

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 Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. Professional Groand -N titer and Environmental Engineering Services Page 20 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Pla Services — City of Ocoee 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 6.2 Relevant Project Experience LBG is a specialist in the performance of hydrogeological evaluations for the development of groundwater resources.

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.

Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 77 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Plannin Se rvi c es — City of Ocoee 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.

(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. B� ' Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 2a Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Plan Services — C o f Oc oee 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. �8� � Leggette, Brashears &Graham, Inc. Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 25 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services — City of Ocoee 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.

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.

Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. Page 27 Professional Ground- W'ater and Environmental Engineering Services Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services — City o f Ocoee On Top of the World Communities is a regional development with water, wastewater, and reclaimed water services provided by its affiliated utility Bay Laurel Center Community Development District. The utility serves a growing population of 10,000 within a 20 square mile service area. An active cattle ranch, agricultural crops, and three golf courses are integrated components of the water reuse facilities. Services were provided in support of future water supply development and included timely authorization for installation of four high capacity supply wells to meet potable demands through year 2021. Planning studies documented available information for the 12,000 acre development, a comprehensive field investigation to evaluate local aquifer hydraulics and water quality, and ground- water flow modeling studies to demonstrate the capability of area water resources to sustain increased ground water development. Initial planning studies were completed to document existing public supply, agricultural, and golf course irrigation supply wells, J well pump capacities and pumpage history, area supply wells, local hydrogeologic conditions, long- term water levels records, and ground -water _ quality. Field work was carried out to determine existing supply well capacities and to assess aquifer hydraulics, to geophysical log existing wells up to 700 feet deep, water quality testing to evaluate 1 the vertical and lateral distribution of sulfate and ®° chloride content across the site. On -going services include evaluation of water use records to assess recent and future water use per capita data, irrigation application rates for residential homes, golf course irrigation, and conservation measures to reduce residential irrigation and improve irrigation efficiency. v_- L s� Leggette, Brashears &Graham, Inc. Professionnl Ground -Wnler and E�ivironmentnl Engineering Services Pa 2s Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services — City o f Ocoee 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.

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. �` `B� Leggette, Brashears & Graham, Inc. Professional Ground -Water and Environmental Engineering Services Page 30 Request for Qualifications Professional Hydrological & Water Supply /Planning Services — City of Ocoee 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.

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. 1.3 LIST OF SIMILAR PROJECTS lam CLERMONT OFFICE 1170 W. Mlnneola Avenue Clermont, Florida 34711 352 -241 -0508 Fax: 352 -241 -0977 ® Groundwater V Environmental ♦ Geotechnical ® Construction Materials Testing 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. 1.4 WORKLOAD Ak a CLERMONT OFFICE 1170 W.
