State Route 33 Self-Storage
Polk County, Florida

Showcases:
State Route 33 Self-Storage
Blackwater Creek Mitigation Bank
Listed Species Conservation

Williamsburg Environmental Group, Inc. (WEG) was retained to complete environmental permitting and regulatory support on property which has been proposed for commercial development as a storage complex.  Prior to site development, WEG conducted the environmental assessment and wildlife survey to identify any potential environmental constraints associated with the project along with recommendations to address the potential constraints.

The physical and biological characteristics of the SR 33 Self-storage site and surrounding environment formed the basis of a considerable amount of interest. WEG undertook environmental studies to further document the quality of the existing environment and identify potential impact that may result from the proposed development. These studies focused on upland habitat community characteristics, which could potentially harbor threatened and endangered species listed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service or the State of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Additionally, the presence of wetlands onsite could potentially impact site design; careful delineation of these wetlands is necessary for regulatory permitting.  These initial studies will serve as the baseline information for the development of any mitigation plan that may be necessary to offset unavoidable impacts the listed species or wetlands.

In addition, a comprehensive stormwater management alternative analysis was completed to evaluate all potential avenues for stormwater treatment.  This analysis included the treatment of both water quantity and water quality to further minimize the project’s potential impact on the surrounding environment.

WEG has prepared the permit applications and all regulatory documents needed for approval and permitting by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers. WEG coordinated with each agency to ensure that all concerns were addressed and relevant permits were acquired in a timely, cost-effective, “headache-free” manner.
