Contract: VC-14308C, $1.7 Million Port Everglades Environmental Corporation (PEECO)

NovelEsolutions’ (NovelE’s) Principal Engineer, Ms. Liza Grudin, PE was the Project Manager and Engineer-of-Record for environmental petroleum cleanup activities for the Port Everglades Environmental Corporation (PEECO). Environmental issues associated with the common area are coordinated by PEECO. PEECO is a non-profit organization, comprised of the terminal property owners at the Port (e.g., Chevron, Motiva, TransMontaigne, etc.), acting as the primary contact for historical petroleum

releases at the common areas of Port Everglades. The common area is described as Berths 1 through 27 and the pipeline rights-of-way from the common berths to individual company property lines. PEECO consulting work requires close interaction with the property owner’s representatives, the Broward County Port Everglades Department, the regulatory lead, FDEP, and the Broward County Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department. Portions of this scope were completed with another firm. This scope of work included assessment of free product, soil and groundwater; design, installation and construction of free product recovery systems; GIS mapping of the Port facility and all historical and current contaminant plumes; and consulting on FDEP funding mechanisms. Ms. Grudin was instrumental in equipment modifications to the historical systems increasing free product recovery and decreasing water intake. Ms. Grudin obtained funding from FDEP to double the frequency of maintenance visits in order to protect the inland waterways. Based upon the success of her free product trench design, FDEP expanded the current system and is utilizing Ms. Grudin's design on other sites within the Port.

Citrus Combined Cycle Plant, Duke Energy, Crystal River

NovelE prepared the initial Best Management Practices/Pollution Prevention Plan (BMP3 Plan) for stormwater controls at this newly activated energy plant. The CCC is a natural gas-fired, combined cycle combustion turbine generator (CTG) facility with a total of 1,640 Megawatt (MW) electrical power generating capacity. Four stormwater detention ponds, surrounding the main buildings, are utilized to collect and treat stormwater runoff. An Industrial Wastewater (IWW) Percolation Pond is located northwest of the combined cycle power

blocks. Process IWW is treated by an oil/water separator system prior to discharge to the percolation pond. Domestic Wastewater (DWW) is also processed and sent via sumps to the percolation pond. The IWW Percolation Pond contains an emergency overflow structure to isolated wetlands. The percolation pond is designed to contain permitted wastewater flows plus rainfall generated by a 25-year/24-hour storm event. Overall onsite activities encompass approximately 193 acres of the property with the remainder as undeveloped land. The purpose for the development of this BMP3 Plan was to maintain and monitor stormwater discharges at the CCC Station and minimize potential adverse impacts to the onsite and surrounding soil, surface water, groundwater, and ecosystems. This BMP3 Plan consisted of the development and implementation of best management practices, and the establishment of provisions, protocols, and responsibilities for maintaining and monitoring the stormwater at the CCC Station. Ms. Grudin was the Engineer-of-record for the BMP3 Plan and prepared training materials to accompany the new Plan.

Private Client, Port Tampa Bay Industrial Property Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments

NovelE conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on this 7-acre property originally developed in the 1960’s. Former uses of the property included bulk fuel storage and truck maintenance. A Phase II ESA was conducted to evaluate onsite RECs including the service bays, truck wash area, oil/water separator, and septic tank. Remediation alternatives included Initial Remedial Actions using source removal with closure using Risk Management Option II with engineering and institutional controls. Funding mechanisms for cleanup activities included application of the Brownfields Tax Credit and State of Florida Low-Scored Site Initiative (LSSI).




Private Client, Exxon Sifford’s former petroleum station, Vero Beach

NovelE provides environmental consulting and general compliance support on redevelopment of this site into a Verizon Wireless. Site activities included removal of the four (4) onsite underground storage tanks (USTs), dispensers, and underground petroleum piping. NovelE provided oversight for the procurement of the subcontractors and supervised all work on behalf of the site developer. During the tank removal, compliance issues were noted with one of the 10,000-gallon USTs and NovelE coordinated with the new property owner to submit a new Discharge Report Form. Key stakeholders include the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Brevard County Natural Resources Management Department for the eligible discharge and the Crum & Forster insurance company and their consultant Vertex Companies, Inc. NovelE is responsible for conducting the forensic analysis of the eligible PLIPR discharge in relation to a new non-eligible petroleum discharge.

Private Client, Siena Cove Development (former Quail Hollow Golf and Country Club)

NovelEsolutions (NovelE) provides key engineering and field support on the environmental assessment and remediation activities at this 175-acre former golf and country club set to be redeveloped as a gated community of ±380 single-family residences. In addition to clubhouse and maintenance facilities, the championship golf course consisted of 18 holes and measures approximately 6,800 yards from the professional tees. Preliminary assessment activities are ongoing at the site and include the use of the incremental sampling methodology (ISM). Mr. Aumann provides field support including soil and groundwater sampling, and aquifer testing. Ms. Grudin is the Engineer-of-record for the remediation activities with an ultimate goal to achieve the necessary approvals from the FDEP resulting in a No Further Action (NFA) status for the property. The regulatory strategy contemplated for this site at the current time will be to seek an alternative closure in accordance with Chapter 62-780, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) using engineering and institutional controls to maintain the aggressive timeline established for this significant redevelopment project by the client. Soil management options include soil blending, capping under roadways, parks/recreational areas, and utilization of clean fill in conjunction with the existing grading plan. Groundwater remediation options include utilization of planned drainage structures, soil amendments and natural attenuation monitoring.

Ms. Grudin completed statistical analysis in coordination with the University of Florida to complete the ISM sampling and assessment approach. In the first of its kind analysis, Ms. Grudin extrapolated the Coefficient of Variation for replicate ISM sampling to single (r=1) and duplicate (r=2) results. This is a new approach based on FDEP statistical analysis of ISM data resulting in a more accurate determination of onsite impacts. A UCL was then calculated from the resulting extrapolation and compared to the SCTLs for arsenic and dieldrin.
