E Sciences has provided a variety of environmental engineering consulting services for Islamorada, Village of Islands, (Village) including the following: Interim Director of Public Works: During transition between Village Public Works Directors, E Sciences was requested to fulfill the duties of the director on an interim basis. The transition took place during a critical phase of infrastructure growth — the Village was constructing its first wastewater treatment plant and collection system. E Sciences' role involved managing and overseeing multiple functions related to public works projects, including stormwater, wastewater and other capital improvement projects. Wastewater Treatment Alternatives Analysis: E Sciences prepared a feasibility study and cost comparison to assist Islamorada in deciding whether to treat wastewater on-island or send all or a portion of it to a consolidated plant being constructed in Key Largo for treatment. This study involved a conceptual design of a transmission system from Key Largo to Islamorada, including all related wastewater facilities. We estimated capital and operational costs for four on-site wastewater treatment plants as well as a conveyance system to Key Largo’s plant. Costs for the various scenarios were compiled and summarized to provide five alternatives for consideration. Additional considerations included construction and hook-up phasing, legal issues, environmental considerations, aesthetics, limited land availability, and legal issues. E Sciences met with the Village’s Water Quality Improvement Citizens' Advisory Committee and presented the findings to the Village Council. Stormwater Technical Manual: E Sciences prepared a Stormwater Technical Manual for the Village in order for them to provide guidance to engineers and developers that are preparing stormwater management plans for site development within the Village. The manual outlined the Village requirements and provided forms to streamline the review process for simple projects. In 2016, E Sciences updated this manual to incorporate modern technologies and stormwater management practices to promote design and development using technologies that are more sustainable and applicable to the uniqueness of the Village. Stormwater Plan Reviews: The Village provides E Sciences with stormwater management plans for new developments and redevelopments that are submitted to planning and zoning. E Sciences reviews the plans for consistency with the Village’s ordinances, land development regulations and Stormwater Technical Manual. Review letters providing our opinions and requests for additional information, if appropriate, are provided at the conclusion of the reviews. Reviews are typically completed within three to five days. Wastewater Master Plan Due Diligence and Regulatory Compliance Assessment: E Sciences projected probable demand for reuse water, evaluated a full-service package wastewater treatment facility scenario, and assessed comparative mass nutrient loading and regulatory compliance issues. A regulatory compliance assessment was also performed which assessed (based on actual performance data of existing facilities currently operating in the Village) the reliability of producing compliant wastewater treatment effluent if a complete network of package wastewater treatment facilities was constructed. FDEP data records were reviewed regarding the compliance history of package wastewater treatment facilities currently operating within the Village.
