Our Process

How It Works

From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Clermont.

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 Clermont Properties Need Commercial Storm Water Management

Commercial development in Lake County's rapidly growing communities (Clermont, Groveland, Minneola) must manage stormwater on karst terrain with lake-adjacent discharge requirements. Each lake may have different TMDL limits.

Lake County Regulatory Note SJRWMD or SWFWMD Environmental Resource Permits required. Sinkhole geotechnical assessment may be required for retention pond sites.

Local Factors in Clermont

  • Karst terrain creates sinkhole risk for stormwater infrastructure
  • Multiple lakes with individual TMDL limits
  • Dual water management district
  • Rapid commercial growth along US-27

Lake County features some of Florida's most well-drained soils on the Clermont Ridge and Lake Wales Ridge (deep Entisols), contrasted with poorly drained flatwoods in low-lying areas between the county's numerous lakes. The well-drained ridge soils have high infiltration rates but are underlain by karst limestone with sinkhole potential.

Lake County's rapid growth as a Central Florida bedroom community means farmland and citrus groves are being converted to residential subdivisions at an accelerating pace. The county has more than 1,400 named lakes, and nearly every major development must manage stormwater discharge to one or more of these water bodies, requiring lake-specific water quality analysis and treatment design.
