Energy Resources, Inc. started its first canal dredging project
for the City of Naples, Florida in 1990. It started out as a
$400,000 project. The City was so pleased with our work that it
added two additional projects that brought the total work to almost
$1,000,000. Energy Resources, Inc. has never left Florida since this
first project.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has
jurisdiction over all this type of work in Florida. We have seen
significant changes in the regulatory environment for this work over the
last ten years. The turbidity requirements imposed by FDEP for the
dredge and spoil sites are a major factor in successfully performing this
type of work. Some Florida projects take place in a water body that
is classified as Outstanding Florida Water. This means there is no
turbidity allowed. Other classes of Florida waters allow 29 ntu’s of
turbidity over background. Some projects allow no discharge from the
spoil sites either because of exemption or because of the chemical
analysis of the dredge material.
There are 15 dredging companies that were our competitors in the
early 1990’s that are no longer in business. One reason we have been
successful in Florida is that we, as a company, have been educated on the
new standards and have adapted to change. |
