How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Fellsmere.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Local Requirements for Commercial Storm Water Management
Why Fellsmere Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management
Commercial development in Indian River County must meet stringent water quality standards to protect the Indian River Lagoon, while also managing stormwater on soils that were historically used for citrus agriculture. Properties along US-1 and the SR-60 corridor need stormwater systems that handle both flood protection and nutrient removal.
Local Factors in Fellsmere
- Indian River Lagoon protection is the primary environmental regulatory driver
- Commercial development concentrated along US-1 and SR-60 corridors
- Agricultural-to-commercial land conversion changes drainage patterns
- Smaller commercial market with fewer but high-value projects
Indian River County Soil & Drainage Profile
Indian River County features a classic Florida flatwoods soil profile with poorly drained Spodosols dominant. The spodic hardpan at 2-3 feet depth perches water and creates seasonal flooding. Barrier island soils are sandier with better natural drainage but face saltwater influence.
Indian River County's legacy as a citrus-producing region means many residential properties sit on former grove land with agricultural drainage infrastructure that may no longer be maintained or adequate for residential use. Converting grove drainage (designed for crop irrigation) to residential stormwater management is a specialized engineering challenge that requires understanding both systems.
