June 1994 to present
Principal

Founding principal of Hydro-Environmental Associates, Inc. (HEA), an environmental consulting firm specializing in hydrogeologic and environmental studies. Some of his most recent projects include:

• SRWMD/SJRWMD – Conducted a hydrogeologic evaluation of the upper Suwannee River basin to evaluate several options for recharging the upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) by using excess surface water. Extensive groundwater flow modeling was performed using the USGS MegaModel to quantify the impacts to numerous springs, rivers, and aquifer groundwater levels due to the various aquifer recharge options. The project is ongoing.
• Pasco County, Florida – Conducted a Wellhead Protection Study of a County wellfield. Determined the historic range in pumping from the wellfield and determined the 5 and 10 year capture zones of the production wells. Conducted particle tracking using the MODPATH groundwater flow model to map the capture zones. The project is ongoing.
• Progress Energy, Crystal River Complex, Florida – Conducted an evaluation of the wellfields to determine the cause of increasing salinity and other water quality issues. Evaluated geophysical logs, lithologic logs, aquifer pumping tests, and conducted groundwater flow modeling to predict impacts based on current yields and well capacities. Identified several options for wellfield expansion. The project is ongoing.
• Florida Strawberry Growers Association, Inc. – Conducted a regional analysis of the potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) of the Dover/Plant City strawberry growing area to determine the actual trends in water levels of the UFA. The SWFWMD recently designated the Dover/Plant City area as a Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) and established a minimum flow and level for the area. The establishment of a WUCA is based on the assumption that there is a long-term decline in the potentiometric surface of the UFA. HEA evaluated the data from numerous monitoring wells in and around the Dover/Plant City area and reviewed historic potentiometric surface maps of the SWFWMD area. It was determined that there has been an increasing trend in water levels of the UFA during the last decade, and water levels have risen up to 30 feet in the area over the last 30 years.
• Gustafson’s Dairy Facility, Green Cove Springs, Florida – conducted quarterly natural attenuation groundwater and surface water monitoring as required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection at this facility at over 25 well locations and surface water monitoring stations located throughout the facility.   The contaminants of concern vary from polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, nutrients, volatile organic compounds, and metals, depending on the area of the site. Data from each monitoring well and other sampling station is evaluated on a quarterly basis and compared to established monitoring guidelines to determine if the wells meets or exceeds the default concentrations. Quarterly reports are submitted to the FDEP for review and approval. The project is ongoing.
• University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida – Prepared, submitted, and obtained approval for w Water Use Permit from the complex multi-use site. Water uses include golf course irrigation, athletic field and green area irrigation, industrial cooling tower water use, and municipal water use. Determined current water use using the AGMOD program and other methods, and established projected water use through the year 2030. Developed a groundwater flow model of the area based upon the SWFWMD’s DWRM II regional model using Groundwater Vistas, Version 5. to predict drawdown impacts from the water use. The model was used to predict the loss of flow into the Hillsborough River from the pumpage and to insure that the established minimum flows and levels of the river would not be encroached upon by the withdrawals.
• The Strand Development – Conducted a soil and groundwater site assessment and soil remediation of a proposed office and residential complex, located within downtown Clearwater, Florida. The site was a former automotive sales and repair facility. Elevated arsenic and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons concentrations were identified from a specific soil layer underneath a concrete slab that was used for automotive repair and detailing. The horizontal and vertical extent of soil contamination was identified through the results of a series of discreet samples collected from within, around, and below the contamination zone. The contaminated soil was excavated from the site transported to a soil recycling facility for proper disposal. The project was completed and a No Further Action recommendation was approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
• SRWMD – Developed a groundwater flow model of the Drummond Wellfield, near Chiefland Fla.. The purpose of the project was to assess the possibility of developing a public water supply at the proposed 160 acre wellfield for future planning. The groundwater flow model was used to establish the drawdown impacts from pumpage and to quantify the impacts to nearby lakes, springs and rivers. HEA modified the existing North Florida Groundwater Model to include the proposed wellfield. The model was used to predict the loss of flow into Fanning/Little Fanning Spring, Manatee Spring, and Levy Blue Springs. All of these springs have established minimum flows and levels (MFL)s, and are located within Levy County. The results of the study indicated that the upper limit of a wellfield at the Drummond Tract approaches 3 million gallons per day, based on the assumption of 0.05 foot of drawdown at the nearby SRWMD MFL sites.
• Stone Buick Site, Clearwater, Fla – HEA conducted a soil and groundwater site assessment and site remediation of the former automotive sales and service facility. HEA initially conducted a Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) which identified the existence of numerous in-ground hydraulic lifts, an oil-water separator, a grease trap, and a septic system. The Phase II ESA included soil and groundwater sampling at the hydraulic lift areas, as well as within the oil-water separator, grease trap, and septic tank and leachfield. HEA oversaw site remediation activities to remove the in-ground hydraulic lifts, associated hydraulic oil and reservoirs; the oil-water separator; grease trap; septic system; and sand filter bed. Soil screening was conducted by HEA during the site remediation to define and delineate the extent of excessively contaminated soil. Approximately 35 cubic yards of excessively contaminated soil was excavated, transported, and thermally incinerated. The results of confirmatory sampling indicated that the contaminated soil had been successfully remediated, and the results of groundwater sampling indicated that concentrations of waste oil parameters were within the applicable GCTLs
• Prepared and successfully obtained a Water Use Permit (WUP) from the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) for the TBBT Water, LLC bottled water facility, located in Hardee County, Florida. This project involved conducting a hydrogeologic study, water use analysis, and groundwater flow modeling to predict groundwater impacts from the proposed production wells to be used as a raw water source for a bottling plant. The site consists of a reclaimed phosphate mine within the SWFWMD’s Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) and uses the existing test production wells from the former phosphate mine as the water supply for the bottling facility. The SWFWMD’s District Wide Regulation Model (DWRM II) along with Groundwater Vistas, Version 4, was used to predict the drawdown impacts. New groundwater impacts are not allowed within the SWUCA , however, this permit was allowed based upon the groundwater flow modeling effort.
• City of Temple Terrace, Fla. – Prepared and successfully obtained a WUP for the two wellfields. Developed a groundwater flow model of the wellfield based upon the SWFWMD’s DWRM II regional model using Groundwater Vistas, Version 4. The purpose of the groundwater flow model was to establish the average and maximum drawdown impacts of pumpage from the newly renovated wellfield in support of a WUP renewal from the SWFWMD. The model was also used to predict the loss of flow into the Hillsborough River from the wellfield pumpage. The WUP was successfully renewed and a slight increase in pumpage was granted, even though the site is located within the Hillsborough River Basin, an area where the SWFWMD does not allow groundwater impacts to negatively affect the flow of the Hillsborough River.
• Conducted hydrologic assessments of the proposed Discovery Bay Marina, Aguada, Puerto Rico and La Cala de Dorado Development, Dorado, Puerto Rico. The goal of these assessments were to address potential impacts to the groundwater quality resulting from the construction of two separate proposed inland marina basins, which extended approximately 700 to 1,000 feet inland from the Atlantic Ocean. The proposed Discovery Bay is currently a sand mine, and La Cala de Dorado is currently a resort. The regional and local hydrogeology was described, and the water quality of the proposed marina basins were addressed, specifically in relation to the migration of the fresh water/ salt water interface.   Groundwater flow modeling was conducted to quantify the fresh water contribution to the marina basins after construction and to establish the revised salt water interface. These reports were submitted for approval of a Development of Regional Impact to the U.S. EPA.
• Prepared and submitted a WUP and from the SWFWMD for the Brooker Creek Lake sand mine, located in northwest Hillsborough County, Florida. This sand mine is located in the vicinity of several major wellfields and adjacent to Brooker Creek, and is proposed to be over 50-acres in size when completed. Developed a groundwater flow model of the proposed mine to assist in the design of the rehydration ditches and individual mine cells, to establish the average and maximum usage of groundwater from the mine; and to quantify the drawdown impacts of the mine dewatering on adjacent wetland areas. Also provided hydrogeologic assistance in support of an Operating Permit from the Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission (EPC), and an Environmental Resources Permit (ERP) from the SWFWMD. Based upon results of the groundwater model and hydrogeologic analysis, the Operating Permit was granted by the EPC and the FDEP, and the ERP and WUP were granted by the SWFWMD.
• Supervised the Site Assessment and remediation of the Hart’s One Stop Marina, Holiday, Pasco County, Florida. The Site Assessment included the installation and sampling of numerous monitoring wells and soil borings to determine the lateral and vertical extent of petroleum contamination. Site remediation was achieved by a combination of overpumping and natural attenuation. The site was monitored over a several year period, and, upon completion of the project, No Further Action was granted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).
• Assisted in the development of a water balance model and groundwater flow model of the proposed Everglades Agricultural Area A-1 Reservoir for the South Florida Water Management District. The purpose of the groundwater flow model was to evaluate the groundwater seepage from the proposed reservoir system. The surface water hydraulics and groundwater hydrogeology were studied in detail, and the results of a 30-day test cell seepage study were simulated using the Groundwater Modeling System (GMS) 5.1 model code. This reservoir is proposed to be 60,000 acres in size, and is located in northwest Palm Beach County.
• Prepared and submitted a WUP and several WUP modifications from the SWFWMD for the Shelley Lakes sand mine, located in Balm, Florida. This is one of the largest sand mines in southwest Florida, covering an area of over 250-acres. Developed groundwater flow models of the proposed mine expansions to assist in the design of the rehydration ditches and individual mine cells, to establish the average and maximum usage of groundwater from the mine; and to quantify the drawdown impacts of the mine dewatering on adjacent wetland areas. Also provided hydrogeologic assistance in support of an Operating Permit from the Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission (EPC), and an Environmental Resources Permit (ERP) from the SWFWMD.

• Conducted a hydrogeologic study of the Town of Davie wellfield to determine the cause of excessive drawdown and degradation of water quality from the existing wellfield. Identified the cause of the problem to be from former deepening of the existing wells. Prepared specifications for the installation of new water supply wells and modification of the existing wells, oversight of the well installation, conducted stratigraphic interpretation and extensive aquifer pumping testing and analysis. In addition, groundwater flow modeling of the Davie area was performed in support of a modification to the Water Use Permit from the South Florida Water Management District. The groundwater flow model consists of three aquifer layers and covers the entire Broward County area. All of the existing permitted water uses have been added to the model to establish the regional drawdown impacts, and to determine the potential for saline water encroachment. In addition, major canals and other surface water bodies have been added to the model to enhance the predictive capability of the model. The data was managed and calibrated using Version 2.0 of Groundwater Vistas (GW Vistas), a pre-processing program, and the model simulations were conducted using the U.S. Geological Survey MODFLOW Version Win 32.
• Developed groundwater flow models of the Jaymar Villas WWTP, Ruskin, Florida, and the Pioneer Village WWTP, Lee County, Florida.
