RELAVENT EXPERIENCE

Hillsborough County South Central Regional Wellfield- Evaluated renewal application for this large-scale public supply wellfield.  The renewal focused in particular on controversial drawdown impact determination and water quality impacts to small private wells.  Evaluated drawdown flow modeling and development of applicable permit special conditions.

Carrollwood Public Supply Wellfield- Evaluated the water use permit renewal application for this small public supply wellfield.  The renewal included an increase in quantities and the evaluation of drawdown impacts.  Groundwater drawdown computer flow modeling was performed and assessed results on adjacent lakes with District Minimum Level restrictions.

Strawberry Farm Water Use Permits- Evaluated many permits applications for farms in the Plant City area.  Drawdown computer flow models were performed and assessed pumping impacts during freeze protection events.  Assisted applicants in development of maximum available groundwater quantities and optimization of available surface water.  Coordinated with other District-required stormwater permit review.

City of Tampa Morris Bridge Wellfield Monitor Well Network

Evaluated the renewal application and developed design for a monitor well network for the wellfield.

City of St. Petersburg Southwest Water Reclamation Facility Reclaimed Water ASR Test Well System- Review of application documents, consultant reports and hydrogeologic analysis, proposed well depths and construction details, well construction authorization and cycle testing authorization correspondence prepared for Regulation Director.

City of St. Petersburg Albert Whitted Airport Water Reclamation Facility Reclaimed Water ASR Test Well System- Review of application documents, consultant reports and hydrogeologic analysis, understanding and coordination with existing FDEP permit requirements, proposed well depths and construction details, well construction and cycle testing authorization correspondence prepared for Regulation Director.

The Villages Water Use Permit, Sumter County- Evaluated the renewal application of The Villages water use permit. Lower Floridan Aquifer aquifer performance testing and groundwater impact flow modeling was reviewed. Development of Lower Floridan Aquifer supply wells were required as part of the permit. Understanding of the deep flow zones and water quality found were essential to the permit evaluation.
