St. Johns River Water Management District site inspection

A letter( included with photos)dated 11/10/08 sent from St. Johns River Water Management District, stated they did a site inspection of our subdivision in response to concerns associated with the stormwater management system as Indian River County recently notified the district of numerous concerns. The included data is for your information. The empasis is related to the 25-foot rear lot swales, and encrochments, to said swales, on the north and south side of the entire subdivision. As a result they have identified 3 specific items that need to be addressed and want us to notify them of our plans in writing in a timely manner.

Item 1 - This needs to be corrected in 30 days from receipt of the letter and then notify the District. It pertains to a breach in the retention berm which looks like an easy fix.
Item 2 - This relates to stormwater runoff, infiltration and an annual inspection of the 100 linear-feet of drainfield. They are recommending we hire a company to inspect and forward results to them.
Item 3 - This covers rear lot swales. It states that the Homeowners Association is responsible to ensure these retention areas remain clear of debree, excess fill or structures that could potentially block the flow of stormwater runoff and reduce the retention volume. So as a reminder ...."NO permanent sructures are allowed" in the swales on the north and south side of the subdivision.
