INDIAN RIVER UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
NORTH COUNTY BRINE DISPOSAL
SCOPE OF SERVICES
This Scope of Service covers work to be performed by the Ecotech Consultants, Inc . consulting team
for the Indian River County Utilities Department related to design and permitting of a 60 acre
wetland site for disposal of the brine water discharged from the North County Water Treatment
Facility. The project site is contiguous with the Indian River and is located just north of the North
Relief Canal , see Attachment 4 for a general location map . The project site previously was drained
by ditches for mosquito control and to drain the citrus groves west of the site . The site currently is
isolated from surrounding lands by drainage ditches . The western portion of the project site will be
developed into an emergent salt marsh community for the purpose of dispersing the brine water
across the project site . The brine water will be mixed with water from the Indian River prior to
discharge to the project site . This work is being proposed in response to Florida Department of
Environmental Protection permitting conditions that require the County to cease discharge to the
Indian River. The proposed wetland site will provide the County with a long term disposal option
for the brine water that also supplements the existing brine reuse project currently under
construction . The County will act as the Engineer of Record for this project, and will provide survey
data as may be necessary to complete the permits for this project .
The work associated with this Scope of Services has been broken down into a series of eleven
primary work tasks . A description of the work to be performed under each task is presented below .
