Re: Lake Avenue—Clermont,Florida PLANNING
Proposal for Wetland Delineation (Revised) DESIGN &
PERMITTING
Dear Duane:
Attached is a revised proposal to conduct wetland delineation on the parcel of property
located south of Lake Avenue along the northeast shoreline of Lake Winona in Clermont,
Florida. It its understood that this delineation will be included in a boundary survey to be
conducted by BESH for the City of Clermont The survey has been revised to include an
Ecological Assessment report that can be used for Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP)
through the St. Johns River Water Management District(SJRWMD). A line item for wetland
line review with SJRWMD has also been included, as it is typical for the agency to review
the wetland line before permit issuance. The proposal also includes time to coordinate with
the Flonda Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to determine if a Safe Upland
Line (SUL) has been established for the lake, and to also determine the average or normal
water elevation for the lake as requested by the City of Clermont.
Please review the proposal and contact me directly if there are any questions. Thank you for
contacting us to work with you on this project.
Sincerely,
/0/1*
