Barnes, Ferland and Associates, Inc. (BFA) is in the process
of providing consulting services to the coastal City of Ormond
Beach for renewal of their Consumptive Use Permit
(CUP).  BFA staff previously renewed the City’s CUP in
1994. The City lies within a St. Johns River Water Management
District designated Priority Water Resource Caution
Area where obtaining a 20 year renewal is a complex process.
Renewal of the City’s five well field areas has involved numerous
evaluations required for increasing pumpage as listed
below:
- Detailed analysis of service area growth and water use trends;
- Aquifer performance testing and analysis;
- Analytical and numerical groundwater flow modeling and impact assessment;
- A well inventory of adjacent permitted and domestic water users;
- Development and implementation of a wetlands monitoring and mitigation plan;
- Preparation of Annual Wetlands Monitoring Summary Reports;

Ronald P. Ferland, P.E. served as engineer of
record for the permitting, design and
construction administration for a 5.0 MGD
water treatment plant and wellfield. The
treatment plant consisted of aeration, lime
softening, recarbonation, filtration,
chlorination, 1.5 MG ground storage, variable
speed high service pumping and SCADA.
The
plant was laid out and yard piping provided
for expansion to 10 MGD in 2.5 MGD
increments. The City’s existing 2.3 MGD Park
Avenue water treatment plant was converted
to a booster pump station as part of this
project.
The wellfield design consisted of site selection,
hydrogeologic analysis, consumptive use
permitting, mechanical outfitting and raw
water transmission for seven 400 GPM wells.

The City of Altamonte Springs is located in a “Priority Water Resource Caution Area” where projected
future withdrawals of groundwater could cause significant harm to water resources. The St. John River
Water Management District is currently developing a District-wide water supply plan (Water 2020) that
will contain recommendations on how to develop water resources to avoid potential water supply
problems in these areas. Recently, the City’s Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) also needed to be renewed
with an increase in allocation. The District’s CUP program is closely linked to the regional supply
planning process which is still being developed.
