Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport Proposed U.S. Customs and Border Protection Facility: E Sciences was engaged by the City to assist with understanding the outstanding environmental and regulatory issues at a tenant space at the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport as part of the planning for a future U.S. Customs and Border Protection Facility. The property is currently occupied by another private tenant who historically operated two fueling facilities: one abandoned in place and one recently taken out of service. Our scope of services included interviewing the tenant and a site visit, review of the tenant's consultant assessment reports, and communications with Broward County's Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department ( EPGMD). This ongoing process is continuing as E Sciences provides periodic updates and advises the City in ways to reduce the potential for liability associated with these former fueling systems and reduce the potential for them to impact construction. Progresso Village Neighborhood: E Sciences conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the City's Neighborhood Services group in order to support application for federal funding for decorative entranceway signs. Hortt Elementary: E Sciences conducted a Phase I and Phase 11 ESA for the City to support their purchase of this school property intended for redevelopment as a neighborhood park. This property was initially developed by Mr. M.A. Hortt who was one of the early Fort Lauderdale settlers. The project was expedited to meet the constraints of contract timing. Twin Lakes: E Sciences conducted a Phase I ESA and asbestos survey to support the City's purchase and redevelopment of this residence as a park. Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport Fuel Spill Regulatory Assistance: Due to damage to an aircraft fuel tank during a low speed collision between two airplanes at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, a jet fuel discharge was reported to EPGMD. Immediately after the incident staff employed emergency procedures and property managed the spill. E Sciences was initially called in to conduct soil testing to determine if the soils in the area were impacted with jet fuel. When E Sciences reviewed the documentation, we determined that everything had been sufficiently managed and that the activities should not require soil assessment or a formal discharge report, which would trigger a requirement to conduct a Site Assessment. E Sciences provided documentation and communications with EPGMD in order to prevent the reported discharge from entering the bureaucratic process of future assessment and remediation requirements. Fort Lauderdale Low Level Bridges: E Sciences provided asbestos surveys in anticipation of demolition and reconstruction of three low level neighborhood bridges for the City: The Harborage, Marcetta River, and Carlotta River. These reports met the requirements for FDOT, as FDOT was providing funding for this project. Fire Station #46: E Sciences was contracted with the City to provide an indoor air quality survey to evaluate comfort- related issues posed by building occupants regarding indoor air quality. The scope of services included a walkthrough of the building; interviews with building occupants; observations of the air conditioning systems; measurements for temperature, relative humidity, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide in each building area; and moisture readings in areas where either visible indications of moisture impact were noted or that were reported by building occupants. Sailboat Bend Preserve: E Sciences was hired by the City to conduct a Phase I and II ESA of vacant property being designated for use as recreational space and installation of a 'tot lor. The property is adjacent to the City's public works and police department complex. No environmental concerns were identified. Parcel Located at 538 NW 9th Avenue: E Sciences was engaged by the City's CRA to conduct a Phase I ESA of this property, located across the street from the CRA building. This vacant lot was being procured by the CRA as part of an assemblage of parcels for future development opportunities along Sistrunk Boulevard.
