Our energy team has also helped draft and shape energy and <br /> environmental legislation for over 20 years and brings an impressive track record in securing <br /> funding for major water and energy projects. Some examples include: <br /> <br /> • $100,000 in stimulus funds for the Children's Memorial Hospital Green Roof project <br /> • $1.2 million in Army Corps of Engineers funding for the Chicago Botanic Garden <br /> <br /> • $3.6 million in shoreline restoration CAP funds for the Chicago Botanic Garden <br /> U.S. Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Holland & Knight's has extensive experience in working with EPA and assisting local governments <br /> to pursue and secure funding under the Agency's competitive grant programs, and also maintains a <br /> strong record of assisting cities and counties pursue federal funding for environmental and water <br /> projects. Examples include: <br /> <br /> Placer County, CA: Holland & Knight has secured over $11 million in federal funding to design and <br /> construct a modern regional wastewater treatment system in this Northern California county of <br /> about 350,000 people. Under the regional alternative, modern wastewater treatment facilities will <br /> be preserved and seven older facilities located throughout the region will be abandoned. <br /> Together, the three modern facilities will be capable of meeting the area's wastewater treatment <br /> demands for decades to come. Eliminating effluent discharge from these outdated and ineffective <br /> facilities will improve water quality in the local receiving waters and reduce environmental impacts <br /> on the Bay-Delta system. <br /> Furthermore, the new treatment facilities can provide up to 30,000 acre-feet of reclaimed <br /> wastewater for agricultural purposes as well as irrigation of community open space and parks. The <br /> sale of reclaimed water for these purposes will help offset the cost of treatment while reducing the <br /> need for surface and/or ground water. <br /> City of West Sacramento, CA: The City is currently transitioning from its original authorized flood <br /> damage reduction project to a much larger project in the neighborhood of $400 million to $500 <br /> million. We have been successful in securing an increase in the current authorization level to allow <br /> additional work to be done and to bridge the gap between the two projects. <br /> Sarasota County, FL.: A top federal priority for the County has been the Phillippi Creek Septic <br /> System Replacement Program. The Holland & Knight team secured over $5.6 million to replace <br /> septic systems and connect approximately 25,000 low- to moderate-income homes and businesses <br /> <br /> <br /> Holland & Knight Confidential Presentation for the City of Santa Ana 16 <br /> <br /> 25C-29 <br />
