BCI was selected by the City of Sebring to develop a stormwater utility that would serve to fund their stormwater program and enable the city to comply with state and federal legislative mandates such as NPDES and TMDLs. BCI was also directed by the SWFWMD to develop a detailed citywide Watershed Management Plan for the City of Sebring.

BCI, with assistance from CPH  Engineers, evaluated this urbanized basin to determine the priority stormwater and groundwater pollutant loads to the Lake Howell system. BCI tasks included the following: Water quality monitoring to assess loads throughout system (storm event and base flow, Sub-basin and in-stream pollutant loads estimations and Prioritization of sub-basins for load reduction

BCI was responsible for the design and permitting of a 10-acre multifunctional stormwater facility that incorporated a number of beneficial elements including water quality improvements, flood abatement, recreation and public education. The project went well beyond traditional stormwater retrofit practices.

The City of Groveland hired BCI to design French drains as a retrofit to improve the water quality of  discharges to Lake David from an existing drainage system in a commercial/residential area within the City. The project is funded through the Lake County Water  Authority as part of the Stormwater Master Plan, also developed for the City by BCI. 

This project required an innovative approach to stormwater master planning. Rather than spending a lot of time conducting studies, the BCI team was able to minimize study steps and accomplish rapid drainage sub-basin prioritization based on a streamlined pollutant loading as­sessment method. 

DeSoto County identified Harlem Heights as a subdivision with serious flooding problems. Harlem Heights was designed with roadside ditches of inadequate conveyance. BCI was responsible for all aspects of the project including design, permitting and construction management. Stormwater from the area discharges into a canal that contributes directly to the Peace River. The canal lacked access for county maintenance and has caused floodwaters to back up into resident's homes.

Pratt Street, a collector road in the City of Starke, has a history of flooding due to stormwater runoff from U.S. Highway 301 and the adjacent residential areas. The new stormwater system consists of a 1.5 acre wet pond controlling the water table 10 feet below surface to provide treatment and attenuation of the 50-year critical event. A shallow dry area adjacent to the wet pond provides additional storage for larger events, and is designed with under drains so that the area serves as a park and butterfly garden with public access.

BCI developed a 20-year master plan for the City of Haines City's stormwater system. Included in the project was a study of several areas prone to flooding and runoff damage, with suggested short and long-term solutions. A stormwater utility fee structure, based on an equitable water quality rate algorithm, was created to fund the cost of ongoing maintenance activities and annual capital projects identified during the study.GIS mapping, network modeling, new and existing aerial topographical maps, and video data were utilized to create the plan following the Southwest Florida Water Management District's (SWFWMD) new guidelines.  Informational meetings, news releases, and a brochure informed the public of the activities.

BCI was selected by the City of Avon Park to develop a stormwater utility that would serve to fund their stormwater program and enable the city to comply with state and federal legislative mandates such as NPDES and TMDL's. Immediately prior to this engagement, BCI was directed by the Southwest Florida Water Management District to develop a detailed citywide Stormwater Master Plan for the City of Avon Park.
