MIAMI DADE COUNTY CIVIL & PROBATE COURTHOUSE
NovelE provided technical, engineering and construction feasibility support for this County‐owned project. The project site was previously a public park with a small parking lot. The proposed redevelopment plan includes the construction of a Civil and Probate Courthouse with associated amenities. A six‐foot deep parking basement will be constructed with a concrete foundation mat approximately 9 feet thick below the basement. NovelE conducted the environmental sample collection, analysis and evaluation and incorporated the findings into the Remedial Action Plan (RAP). For this scope of work, the RAP takes the form of a Soil Management Plan (SMP) defining procedures to manage arsenic‐ and lead‐impacted soil and groundwater so construction activities will be protective of human health and the environment.

SFWMD SEGMENT 3 PUMP CLOSURE NovelE conducted environmental consulting services as a Prime Contractor to the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The goal of the assessment and source removal activities was to obtain closure of the April 26, 1999 discharge from an aboveground storage tank (AST) within 2 months timeframe. Site activities were conducted at the Segment 3 Pump Station in order to facilitate construction work for the Everglades Restoration Program. The Segment 3 Pump Station site was a former pump station that had an AST. In June 2021, NovelE supervised excavation activities. After the removal of the concrete slabs, NovelE collected soil samples. Additionally, three monitoring wells were installed and groundwater samples were collected for laboratory analysis. Based on the analysis, the samples met the Soil Cleanup Target Levels (SCTLs) and Groundwater Cleanup Target Levels (GCTLs) as defined by Chapter 62‐777, FAC, respectively. |
