CECOS has extensive experience in environmental and permit commitment compliance monitoring for construction projects, wetland mitigation and post-restoration vegetation monitoring. During construction projects we work closely with the contractors to assist in keeping the project in compliance with state and federal regulations. Compliance activities often include wildlife monitoring or ensuring that construction activities do not go beyond permitted conditions.
Vegetation monitoring typically involves assessing the vegetative coverage of a site to determine if it meets environmental permit conditions. Wildlife monitoring requires following U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and/or Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) survey protocols for construction activities. CECOS can develop the appropriate monitoring plan for your project. Both desktop and field applications are utilized to provide knowledgeable oversight and streamlined management of projects.
The CECOS team has strong skills and knowledge in the following areas:
- Wetland Mitigation Monitoring
- Endangered/Threatened Species Monitoring
- National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Endangered Species Act (ESA) Commitment Compliance
- Environmental and Permit Commitment Compliance
- Erosion/Turbidity Control Inspection and Monitoring
- Turbidity/Water Quality Monitoring
- Post-Construction Environmental Monitoring

Description of Work: The main construction components of this US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) project involved demolition and removal of the existing Culvert C-6 and the construction of a new water control structure (S-267) at the same location. The demolition and reconstruction efforts required the lakeside installation of an earthen cofferdam and a steel sheet pile cofferdam at the landside in order to dewater the construction site. The structure included cast-in-place reinforced concrete foundations, headwalls, and culvert. A slide gate was installed at the lakeside headwall. S-267 consists of one (1) 10-foot diameter culvert with an approximate barrel length of 136 feet. A midspan cutoff wall was installed in the centerline of the embankment. The embankment was reconstructed to approximately match the existing crest elevation of the dike. Riprap was also installed along the lakeside embankment faces, and a control building installed on the landside work platform.

Description of Work: The main construction components of this project involved the replacement of one-mile of Tamiami Trail (SR 90/US-41) with a bridge and the removal of this portion of the roadway. This will allow improved fresh water flows southward into Everglades National Park (ENP). Construction activities also included raising and reinforcing an additional 9.7 miles of Tamiami Trail, allowing higher water levels in the adjacent L-29 Canal. Higher water levels in the canal will increase flows into the ENP when water is needed most. The bridge and roadway modifications will supply much needed water to imperiled wildlife and vegetation in the ENP and will result in ecosystem restoration benefits to the greater Everglades.
