Ensuring that The Brigman Company customers receive comprehensive project management from the preliminary assessment stage through wetland master planning and ultimate regulatory approval is Mr. Floyd's primary goal. Through work with The Brigman Company's team of professionals and his routine contact with customers on current projects, he monitors the company's progress towards obtaining its primary objective - Client Satisfaction.

Experience
With more than 18 years' experience in the wetland regulatory consulting field, Mr. Floyd has worked on sites ranging in size from a single home lot to an 11,000-acre-plus multi-phase development. His working knowledge of the wetland regulatory process from the field determination/delineation stage through wetland master planning is widely sought. He has conducted on-site wetland determinations/delineations of over 800 sites throughout the southeast. Mr. Floyd has earned a reputation of respect among environmental regulators on the federal, state and local level. Through his established relationship with regulatory agencies, he can usually get an early, candid assessment of your project's permit ability long before you invest substantial time and money. Mr. Floyd's expertise was called on to assist NASA with developing and refining technology that identifies wetlands using satellite imagery. He is regularly called on to conduct continuing education seminars on topics such as: wetland recognition, wetland determination/delineation methodologies, wetland master planning, permitting and tree identification.

Fields of Specialization

Selected Project Experience

• Broadway at the Beach - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
  • Wetland regulatory consultant responsible for conducting both routine wetland determination/delineation and groundwater hydrology assessment to determine limits of jurisdictional freshwater wetlands occurring within the subject property.
  • Directed field surveying and mapping of established wetland boundaries and obtained U.S. Army Corps of Engineers letter of jurisdictional determination.
• Central Electric Power, Limehouse Tap - Beaufort, South Carolina
  • Completed routine wetland determination/delineation of a 16-mile power transmission line corridor.
  • Directed field surveying and mapping of established wetland boundaries.
  • Obtained all necessary federal and state approvals to clear right-of-way and construct transmission line.
• Carolina Forest - A New Township - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
  • Completed groundwater hydrology assessment for the determination of jurisdictional freshwater wetlands within an 11,000-acre study area. The study area contained large areas of marginal wetland hydrology where the physical indicators employed by the routine wetland determination method failed to clearly identify large portions of the site as either wetlands or non-wetlands.
  • Electronic groundwater level data recorders were monitored and analyzed to determine which portions of the site met the jurisdictional parameters for wetland hydrology. The completion of the project resulted in the establishment of over 120-miles of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved wetland boundary.
• South Carolina Pipeline Corporation - Carolinas Project
  • Conducted alternative pipeline route analysis and completed field delineations of over 250-miles of natural gas pipeline corridors throughout the state of South Carolina.
• Nan Ya Plastics Corporation of America - Lake City, South Carolina
  • Conduct routine wetland determination and biological assessment for a 350-acre plant site.
  • Prepared wetland master plan including detailed alternatives analysis and mitigation plan to secure the issuance of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers individual 404 permit authorizing the fill of 8.5-acres of wetlands.
• Waste Effluent Land application Site - Turbeville, South Carolina
  • Completed wetland delineation of a 400-acre site in Sumter County proposed for use as a waste effluent land application site.
  • Directed completion of field surveying and mapping and obtained letter of determination from U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers based on the surveyed and audited wetland delineation map.
• Becker Minerals Crooked Creek Tract - Marlboro, South Carolina
  • Wetland regulatory consultant responsible for identifying and delineating limits of jurisdictional freshwater wetlands on-site and obtaining a jurisdictional determination certification from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
