SLOANEG.COM
1.1 Objective
This application for an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) requests the construction
and operation authorization of a stormwater management system serving 3.153 acres
of industrial development (outdoor storage yard facility). This industrial development will
be located on parcel 3-15-37-35-0020-000000-0030. The subject site is within an existing
industrial park. This industrial park has an existing ERP Permit #47-00638-P. The total basin
area of the industrial park is 117.78 acres. This parcel is allowed 90% impervious area
(50% building and 40% pavement) and is required to provide '/2" of pre-treatment
before discharging to the master wet detention storm water system.
While no building structure is proposed, the city supports the layout of the site plan and
the pavement utilizing area set aside for building. According to staff coordination,
recent aerials, obtainable as -built record drawings, permitting history and partial
certifications, there is sufficient storm water management constructed to service the
subject site. The master permitting area downstream of the site have been constructed.
All pre -master permit wetlands are up to date in their monitoring periods and are
preserved per the master permit. No additional wetland modifications are included
with this permit. Per coordination with city staff, a breakdown table of the Remaining
Storm Water Management Areas to be Constructed is included (See Table 2.1).
1.2 Project Summary
This application requests the construction of an outdoor storage yard facility, which
includes the following: 2.332 acres of pavement and 0.239 acres of dry pre-treatment.
The project proposes three (3) entrances to NE 12th Street and one (1) to NE 9t" Avenue.
Landscaping is proposed along the parcel perimeter, and the project does not
propose a building structure.
1.3 Vertical Datum Reference
A published benchmark was not found in the vicinity of this property. Elevations are
based on the "CONTINENTAL_NGS2012B.gsb" GEOID, as measured using real time
kinetic GOS referenced from FDOT permanent reference network.
1.4 Floodplain
According to FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) # 12093CO415C (07/16/2015), the
site is within Flood Zone `AE-16.0'.
1.5 Water Quality & Water Quantity
Water quality pre-treatment will be provided via a storm water pond located
along the western side of the subject site. Information on this pond is provided in
Chapter 2 of this report.
This project also includes implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan as additional reasonable assurance of compliance with water quality
criteria during construction and operation.

SLOANEG.COM
The project is within the approved land use and site grading assumptions from
the design of the master stormwater management system. Therefore, the
stormwater management system has not been designed to limit discharge for
the design event to a specified rate.
1.6 On -Site Drainage Basins
There is one (1) pre -development basin, Pre Basin 'A'. The post -development basin is
Basin 100'. See Appendix A for pre and post development basin maps. The subject site
is to have stormwater runoff routed to the existing master stormwater system.

Soil Profile, Infiltration Analysis and Pavement Recommendations
Dear Mr. Pierce,
As requested, Imperial Testing and Engineering, Inc. (Imperial) has performed three (3) soil
borings at the above -mentioned site. Two (2) shallow borings were completed in the proposed
parking area to develop a soil profile for roadway design. These borings were designated as RB-
I and RB-2. One (1) soil boring was installed in the proposed storm water pond for seasonal
high-water table and groundwater elevation determination. The pond boring was designated as
PB-1. An infiltration analysis was also requested at the proposed stormwater pond. We
performed a total of two (2) permeability tests at the proposed pond location. The permeability
tests were designated as PV-1 and PH-1. The field work was completed on March 3, 2022. The
general site location can be found on Figure 1. The test locations can be found on Figure 2. The
following is the report of our findings.
The purpose of the soil borings was to determine the lithological profile at the tested locations.
The borings would also identify the in -situ groundwater table and an estimation of the seasonal
high-water table for design purposes. The roadway borings RB-I and RB-2 were installed to a
depth of 10 feet. The pond boring PB-1 was installed to a depth of 20 feet. The borings were
installed using hand auger techniques and with a drilling rig using Direct Push Technology
(DPT). The borings were conducted in accordance with the standard method of Soil Investigation
and Sampling by Auger Borings, as found in ASTM D1452 or Direct Push Soil Sampling as
found in ASTM D6282. Visual Classifications of all soil samples were accomplished with the
aid of the Unified Soil Classification System. The driller's field reports are attached in Appendix
A.
Subsurface Conditions
According to the Soil Survey of Okeechobee County, Florida (USDA-NRCS) there are two (2)
available soil types for the property. The available soil types are as follows. Soil number 2
(Basinger fine sand) that contains fine sand to about 80 inches with a water table of land surface
to 12 inches and are poorly drained. Soil number 8 (Pineda-Pineda, wet, fine sand, 0 to 2 percent
slopes) that contain fine sand to about 80 inches intermixed with sandy loam from 36 inches to
54 inches with a water table of 6 inches to 18 inches and are poorly drained.
Okeechobee Lot 3; NE 91 St, Okeechobee, Florida
Soil Profile, Infiltration Analysis and Pavement Recommendations
Concerning the roadway borings, the borings contained a layer of crushed concrete/shell with a
thickness of about 6-7 inches. The borings transitioned to fine sands to boring termination depth.
The soils were reported in the SP/SM and SM group indicating varying degrees of silt. Generally
suitable soils were encountered below typical surface clearing depth.
Like the roadway borings, the stormwater pond borings also contained an upper sandy layer that
extended to about 7.5 feet deep at P13-1. The upper sandy layer was reported in the SP/SM and
SM group. The pond borings yielded clayey sands (SC soils) below the sandy layer and extended
from 7.5 feet to 14.5 feet before transitioning to SP/SM soils to boring termination depth.
Organics and unsuitable material were not encountered during the drilling campaign. The
encountered soils in the SP/SM and SM group can be considered for use as backfill. Soils
reported in the SM can be sensitive to moisture and may require additional drying efforts and
compaction. The encountered SC soils would be considered semi confining and were
encountered at PB-1 from 7.5 feet to 14.5 feet below land surface.
Groundwater Conditions
The in -situ water table was encountered between 6.25 feet and 6.4 feet at the roadway boring
locations and 4.6 feet at the pond boring location. The resultant seasonal high-water tables were
estimated between 19 inches and 48 inches below land surface at the various locations.
The site contains a soil type with a seasonal high-water table at land surface to 18 inches as
reported in the soil survey. The current groundwater levels were reported between 55 inches and
76 inches during our drilling campaign. The soil conditions encountered on site generally
correspond with the published document except for isolated areas. The seasonal high-water table
reported for the proposed pond area was generally consistent with the soil survey. The seasonal
high-water table reported for the parking area was reported higher than the reported rates in the
published document. It is our opinion that the soil profile and seasonal high-water table varies
from the soil survey due to disturbance from previous development. The soil survey report can
be found in Appendix B.
Permeability Data
1. Permeability test samples were secured by use of a Shelby Tube sampler at the proposed
pond location. One (1) vertical (PV-1) and one (1) horizontal (PH-1) sample was secured
at the requested depth. The vertical and horizontal permeability sample was secured at 36
inches below land surface (bls). The samples were obtained via a small excavation to
gain access to the subsurface soils at the required sampling depth. The tests were
performed in general accordance with ASTM D2434, with applicable modifications. The
following calculation was obtained from the referenced test method and was used to
determine the coefficient of permeability.

The permeability at the site was reported at 3.8 feet per day and 7.8 feet per day. The soil survey
indicates expected values between about 3.96 feet per day and 39.9 feet per day for the available
soil types. The reported permeability rates are consistent with the published document and the
SP/SM-SM soils discovered at the site.
As shown on the driller's field reports, the site is underlain by fine grain sands in the upper
layers. The soils were classified in the SP/SM and SM group. SC soils were reported below 7.5
feet at the pond boring location. Organic or unsuitable material was not encountered during the
drilling campaign. A true confining layer, consisting of fatty clays, was not encountered to the
boring termination depth.
PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
The roadway soil borings, like the pond borings, indicate the presence of sandy soils in the upper
zone. These soils should be compacted prior to construction of the proposed roadway. Imperial
recommends that the roadway and curb areas be proof rolled prior to roadway construction. The
roadway should then be watered, and proof rolled with a large vibratory roller with a minimum
of 10,000 pounds vibratory capacity. A significant amount of water should be available due to
the sandy soil conditions. Proof roll the roadway areas until the soil is compacted to 100 percent
of a standard proctor (ASTM D698) to the depth of one foot below the proposed stabilized
subgrade elevation. Verify proper soil compaction at a minimum of one test every 200 feet.
Following compaction verification, the roadway can then be constructed as recommended.
Traffic type and frequency have not been provided for this site; however, it is anticipated to
consist of lightly to medium loaded traffic. Standard pavement design can also be used at the
site. For a pavement design life of 20 years, we recommend the following pavement section
where an asphalt surface will be used. The proposed pavement design should be modified if high

traffic loads are anticipated. Limerock should be used in areas where the separation of the
seasonal high-water table and the bottom of the base is at least 2 feet or greater. Crushed
Concrete having a minimum LBR of 150 and compacted to at least 98 percent FM5-515
(Structural Coefficient (0.18) (6 inches) = (1.08) should be used in areas where the seasonal
high-water mark is less than 2 feet below bottom of the proposed base.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nres142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
0

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
11
Custom Soil Resource Report
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
