Our services included wetland delineation, agency verification of wetland lines, and permitting with St. Johns River Water Management District and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Responsibilities include wetland delineation, permitting, mitigation planning and implementation, and environmental consultation for the 1,000-unit Marsh Landing residential and golf course development.

Palencia is a 1,550-acre Development of Regional Impact (DRI) comprising a residential community with an 18-hole golf course, Village Center, recreation complex, school site and commercial parcels. ERS has been involved in the environmental permitting effort with the St. Johns River Water Management District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and St. Johns County for the overall development as well as for individual parcels. ERS has also coordinated with the regulatory agencies with regard to protected species and has conducted several educational seminars to inform the construction crew and residents regarding environmental matters and permit conditions.

The St. Johns Golf and Country Club is an Arvida/St. Joe community located in St. Johns County. The development includes 799 residential lots with an 18-hole golf course and club house/amenity center. ERS conducted the preliminary wetland mapping and delineation tasks, received agency permits involving nearly 50 acres of wetland impact, and conducted the design and implementation of wetland creation. An Incidental Take Permit was also processed for the presence of gopher tortoises on the project site that uniquely involved the acquisition of a parcel of land that is located adjacent to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission's Santa Fe preservation site.

The clients, Beazer Homes and I.C.I. Homes, propose to develop a 788-acre± site for purposes of constructing a high-quality residential community and town center commercial component, with associated infrastructure and stormwater management facilities. Our services included wetland delineation, agency verification, and permitting with St. Johns River Water Management District and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.   ERS also designed a wetland enhancement mitigation plan for a 190-acre portion of the wetlands to remain on the site.
