Project Experience Summary
- 1. Lake Okeechobee Water Quality: Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
Senior Engineer developing Agricultural Nutrient Management Plans for 19 dairies in the Okeechobee Watershed for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. This project included extensive data collection, analysis and evaluation for determining phosphorus loading and recommending BMPs to correct imbalances and water quality problems. The final project deliverable included a study to be submitted to the State Legislature for funding appropriation to design and construct the BMPs.
2. Okeechobee Stormwater Phosphorus Treatment: Soil & Water Engineering Technology
Assistant Engineer representing Engineering & Water Resources, Inc. on the SFWMD Dairy Best Available Technologies project. This is a Design/Build project for an "Edge of Farm" Treatment system on the Dry Lake Dairy north of Okeechobee, Florida. The goal of the project is to capture stormwater runoff from the 1200-acre dairy and provide water quality treatment to reduce the total phosphorus concentrations prior to off-site discharge. The design includes a 50+ acre impoundment, inflow pump station, water control structures, and a chemical treatment basin..
3. Wetland Restoration for Phosphorus Treatment: C&N Environmental Services, Inc.
Design Engineer representing Engineering & Water Resources, Inc. with C & N Environmental Consultants, Inc. for the SFWMD Lake Okeechobee Isolated Wetlands Restoration project on the McArthur Dairy north of Lake Okeechobee. This project involves designing a stormwater management system to capture runoff from pastures and wastewater sprayfields and providing additional water quality treatment by routing the runoff through existing wetland systems. The goal is to reduce total phosphorus concentrations in the water prior to discharging off-site.
4. Environmental Regulation: South Florida Water Management District
McCafferty spent his last three years at the District as a Senior Supervising Engineer overseeing the Technical Support Section for the EAA Regulatory program and Urban and Tributary Basin program. This section provided data compiling, analysis, and evaluation as well as programming support for the District's regulatory program. He participated in technical and administrative public workshops for rulemaking efforts in the Everglades Agricultural Area and C-139 basins. Prior to this position, he spent six years as an engineer in permitting and post-permit compliance for the EAA.
