<br />® Sea Turtle Protection, Lighting Analysis, City of Dania Beach, Broward County, Florida — For this project, Mr. Freedman
<br />assessed beachfront lighting for general condition and sea turtle friendliness (compliance with Section 62B -55, FAC) and provided
<br />recommendations to the City to bring lighting into compliance.
<br />Grandview Palace Marina Permitting Support, Glasgow Equipment, North Bay Village, Miami -Dade County, Florida -
<br />Glasgow equipment contacted Mr. Freedman to assist with a contentious permitting issue through the FDEP. He provided technical
<br />support, resulting in permit issuance.
<br />Benthic Resources Survey and Permitting for Conduit Under Bear Cut, Miami -Dade County, Florida — Mr. Freedman
<br />provided environmental assessment and permitting support for the installation of approximately 2,550 linear feet of conduit
<br />located along the ocean side of the Bear Cut Bridge of the Ridkenbacker Causeway in Miami -Dade County, Florida. E Sciences
<br />conducted a wetland delineation, seagrass survey, benthic habitat survey and delineated extents of mangroves within the
<br />project area. E Sdences subsequently worked with the design engineers to develop construction methodologies to minimize
<br />resource impacts and thereby minimize permitting requirements. Due to dose coordination with agency regulators and design
<br />engineers, the project will qualify for a Standard General Environmental Resources Permit from the FDEP. Additionally since the
<br />project will avoid impacts to mangroves Miami -Dade County authorization will not be required for the project, saving valuable
<br />time and money for the project.
<br />Canopy Analysis, City of Miami Beach, Miami -Dade County, Florida — Mr. Freedman served as the project manager for this
<br />canopy analysis project for the City of Miami Beach, which was conducted under E Scieinces' General Environmental Engineering
<br />Services contract for the City. Using i -Tree Canopy, Mr. Freedman and his team estimated the canopy coverage for the Citys
<br />urban forest, as well as percentage of available space remaining within the City for additional tree planting. Mr. Freedman
<br />developed a one -page brochure for public education documenting the information from the study.
<br />® General In -house Environmental Services, FDOT District Four, Florida — Mr. Freedman served three days a week as in-
<br />house environmental specialist in the FDOT District Four Planning and Environmental Management (PLBEM) Office. Work
<br />included performing environmental phase reviews and preparing and reviewing NEPA documentation for over 70 roadway and
<br />bridge projects including field identification of listed species habitat, wetlands, historic resources, Section 4(f) and contaminated
<br />sites.
<br />Ll
<br />Environmental Review 1 NEPA Documentation for SR A1A, Hallandale Beach, Broward County, Florida — Mr. Freedman
<br />provided environmental review and NEPA recommendations for LAP project along SR Alk Concerns inducted sea turtle - friendly
<br />lighting.
<br />Monroe County Pedestrian Path, Monroe County, Florida — Mr. Freedman provided permitting support services to Monroe
<br />County for a pedestrian path in Key Largo. This project inducted the design and permitting for the path, which ran adjacent to areas
<br />of tropical hardwood hammock, and a pedestrian bridge over Marvin D. Adam's Waterway. During the design phase for this project,
<br />Mr. Freedman mapped trees along the corridor and worked with designers to avoid impacting valuable trees, including trees
<br />constituting natural areas adjacent to the roadway and individual landscape trees that were likely to provide shade for pedestrians.
<br />Where possible, Mr. Freedman provided notes to instruct where roots and limbs could be trimmed back to provide access. He also
<br />conducted a benthic resources survey within the proposed bridge footprint over the Marvin D. Adam's Waterway. Using SCUBA and
<br />a team of divers and structural engineers, Mr. Freedman documented resources for use in acquiring project permits.
<br />Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, City of Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida — This project involved a multi-clisciptinary
<br />landscape architecture and environmental restoration plan for the waterways and tidal pool within the museum's property, which
<br />balanced ecological function with creative landscape aesthetics, recreational functions and values, and improvements to water
<br />quality, and planting designs based on historic flora inventories, including mangroves, native hardwood hammock and coastal
<br />scrub species. Mr. Freedman served as the project manager for the construction administration portion of this project, including
<br />evaluating contractor qualifications and conducting compliance inspections.
