Our Process

How It Works

From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Baldwin.

1

Our engineers inspect your property's stormwater infrastructure, evaluate drainage performance, identify problem areas, and document existing system components. We photograph conditions and collect data needed for engineering analysis.

2

We obtain original permit documents, as-built drawings, and maintenance records from agencies and property files. This historical data reveals design intent, permitted capacities, and any modifications that may have occurred since construction.

3

Using field data and record documents, our Licensed Professional Engineers perform hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, design system improvements or new infrastructure, and prepare construction-ready drawings with detailed specifications.

4

We prepare and submit all required permit applications — including SFWMD ERPs, county building permits, and FDEP authorizations. Our team manages reviewer correspondence and resolves comments to keep approvals on track.

Why Baldwin Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management

Jacksonville's commercial districts — from downtown to the Southside business corridor — generate stormwater that must be managed on clay-bearing soils with St. Johns River tidal influence. The city's extensive salt marsh and tidal creek system limits outfall locations for commercial properties.

Duval County Regulatory Note City of Jacksonville stormwater management ordinance plus SJRWMD Environmental Resource Permits. St. Johns River TMDL nutrient limits affect discharge water quality requirements.

Local Factors in Baldwin

  • Clay subsoils prevent infiltration-based systems
  • St. Johns River tidal influence on outfalls
  • Extensive salt marsh limits outfall locations
  • Large geographic area with varying soil conditions

Duval County soils include poorly drained Spodosols and Alfisols with clay subsoils in the northern portions — a distinctive feature compared to central and south Florida's predominantly sandy profiles. The clay horizons impede deep percolation and increase surface runoff, requiring different design approaches than pure-sand counties.

Jacksonville is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States, and Duval County's consolidated city-county government manages a stormwater system that spans from Atlantic Beach to rural western areas. This geographic diversity means drainage conditions vary enormously — from tidal St. Johns River flooding in San Marco and Riverside to rural ditch drainage in western Duval. Engineers must adapt their design approach to each neighborhood's unique conditions.

Local Cost Factors for Commercial Storm Water Management in Baldwin

Large geographic area requires assessment of vastly different soil and drainage conditions within a single county
Clay subsoils in northern areas require different (often more expensive) drainage approaches than sandy soil counties
Urban retrofit projects in established neighborhoods face complex utility conflicts
Tidal influence requires specialized backflow prevention systems near the St. Johns River
