The Middlesex Materials Storage Facility is a +60-acre project in southern Orange County, Florida. This project included significant issues, including unavoidable impacts to +40 acres of highly degraded wetlands. Bio-Tech Consulting addressed these impacts and appropriate compensation to satisfy the regulatory criteria of several agencies.
Acquired permits included the Conservation Area Impact (CAI), Environmental Resource (ERP), and Dredge and Fill permits from Orange County, South Florida Water Management District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, respectively. The completion of the project allowed for delivery by train and on-site storage of aggregate material. This virtually eliminated deliveries by heavy-truck that previously occurred between the closest supply facility in downtown Orlando and the project site. The reduction of deliveries by truck improved roadway safety and reduced costs associated with roadway maintenance and repair.
