Mr. Lopez was the project manager for the project that was part of the Comprehensive <br /> Professional Engineer: Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP)to rehydrate Biscayne Bay coastal wetlands. The purpose <br /> Florida 39555, 1988 of the pilot project is to determine levels of treatment and technologies needed to discharge <br /> reclaimed water into natural areas, determine the ecological effects of using superior, advanced <br /> Certifications <br /> Project Management treated reclaimed water and determine parameters/constituents of concern. <br /> Professional, Project Advanced Wastewater Treatment for Indirect Non-Potable Reuse, South Florida <br /> Management Institute, Water Management District (SFWMD). Mr. Lopez was the principal investigator for several <br /> Certification # 34108, 2001. pilot projects with the cities of Plantation and Sunrise in Broward County to investigate different <br /> physical-chemical and biological advanced wastewater treatment technologies to augment <br /> Honors and Awards water resources reusing highly treated reclaimed water for surface water recharge to water <br /> Broward County Government quality standards in line with current State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection <br /> Civil Engineer of the Year, (FDEP)standards and Broward County for ground water discharge. These studies evaluate the <br /> American Society of Civil removal of microconstituents(pharmaceuticals or personal care products)from the wastewater, <br /> Engineers, 2009 to model the fate, transport, and impact of discharged reclaimed water, and to evaluate the <br /> Team of the month, SFWMD, toxicity of reclaimed water discharge into natural water bodies. <br /> August 2008, November Broward County Initiative for Stormwater Improvements, SFWMD. Mr. Lopez managed <br /> 2007, June 2006, and a combination of stormwater projects to reduce stormwater runoff and to provide hydrologic <br /> I November 2005 and water quality improvement to meet federal and state water quality requirements. The <br /> Award for efforts to restore project components include retrofitting existing stormwater systems, restoring flow to natural <br /> the North Fork of the New systems that supply water to our aquifers, creating stormwater retention, detention, and filter <br /> River, Sistrunk Historical marshes to remove impurities going to the canals and streams and to improve the hydrology <br /> Nature and Preservation associated with freshwater flows to the estuaries, restoring the natural systems of our estuaries <br /> Society, June 2006 to improve shellfish and fish habitat, and associated resource monitoring and assessment. These <br /> projects were implemented through cooperative partnerships with federal, state, county, and <br /> 1 Professional Affiliations city governments, universities, and nonprofit organizations. <br /> Project Management Institute Bank Stabilization of the North Fork of the New River(NFNR), SFWMD. After <br /> Communication Chair for the Hurricane Wilma hit South Florida in late 2005, the NFNR was severely affected and it was <br /> State of Florida, American determined that about 1,500 feet in the area between Sistrunk Boulevard and 27th Avenue in <br /> Society of Civil Engineers unincorporated Fort Lauderdale had significant erosion problems. The SFWMD partnered with <br /> Water Pollution Control the National Resource Conservation Service Office to fund this project and received a $2 million <br /> grant to complete this project. Mr. Lopez managed an independent scientific and engineering <br /> I Federation review of the existing conditions in the NFNR and preparation of a stakeholder coordinated <br /> American Water Works response to the erosion problems being encountered and improvements to water quality within <br /> Association an environmentally friendly and sustainable framework. <br /> I International Water Resources Everglades Construction Project, SFWMD. Mr. Lopez was part of a selected group of <br /> Association engineers and scientists with the main task of implementing the design, construction, and <br /> Florida Association of operation of advance treatment systems as part of the Everglades Restoration Project, the <br /> Professional Engineers largest ecosystem restoration project in the world. As a project manager he led the chemical <br /> treatment/solids separation process; the low intensity chemical dosing project; the testing of <br /> chemical treatment in urban runoff; management of wetlands projects and natural treatment <br /> systems like periphyton-based stormwater treatment area(PSTA)and submerged aquatic <br /> vegetation/limerock (SAV/LR) projects. <br /> 0006.027944.0512 Atkins I City of Sunny Isles Beach, RFQ No. 12-04-02 <br />
