The Chappell Group is the lead environmental consulting firm for the restoration of the previously constructed Everglades Restoration Area (ERA). ERA is a 39.0 acre wetland mitigation area consisting of the restoration and construction of freshwater marsh, slough, tree island and transitional buffer habitat. The mitigation area was constructed, but never completed due to the contractor filing bankruptcy and not fulfilling contractual obligations for final grading and planting of the mitigation area. TCG was responsible for environmental oversight of a revised contract through the original surety. TCG responsibilities included construction observation and review of revised design details and construction responsibilities, along with the review of as-built survey information and oversight of mitigation planting activities. Upon completion of the restoration efforts, TCG is responsible for the required five (5) years of quarterly mitigation monitoring and reporting, as the restoration serves as mitigation for wetland impacts associated with numerous Broward County roadway and airport projects.
