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;
  

• Evaluation of a water conservation plan and reclaimed water usage;
• Water audit;
• Raw well water quality trend analyses;
• Development of a well field rotation/optimization plan to minimize saltwater intrusion;
• Evaluation of a stormwater system for an alternative irrigation source.
