Dear Mr. Jansen: The staff has reviewed your response to the District's Request for Additional Information (RAI) letter. Unfortunately the following technical information is lacking to sufficiently review the possible impacts the project may have on the surrounding area. This information is again being requested pursuant to the authority vested in the St. Johns River Water Management district under subsection 373.413(2), Florida Statutes (F.S.), and sections 40C -4.101 and 40C- 4.301, Florida Administrati ✓e Code (F.A_C.). In order to expedite the review of your application, please use the application number referenced above on all correspondence, and submit three (3) copies of all requested information unless otherwise indicated by a specific information request. It has been determined that the proposed stormwater pond adjacent to the existing wetland and wetland area to be restored will have a drawdown effect on the wetland. Please be advised that this is considered a wetland impact. Please demonstrate that the wetland hydrology will not be impacted or provide additional mitigation. [section 12.2.2.4,12.2-7, A.H.] Roadside ditch /underdrain s stem general comments: 1. Please show the proposed elevation of the ditch bottom on the plan and profiles. Show the underdrain in the pavement cross- section and note where applicable. [40C -4.301 (1) F.A.G.] 2. Please provide justification for the permeability rate of 1 ft/hr used in the underdrain calculations. The geotechnical report indicates k values in the range of 1.33 -1.35 ft/day.

The inverts of CO -1 and CO -2 are shown to be at elevation 10.35 feet. The cross- section indicates the depth from the bottom of the ditch to the invert of the pipe to be 2.58 feet (2' native soil + 3" gravel + 4" pipe). This would dictate an invert at elevation 9.77 feet. [40C- 42.026 (2) F.A.C.] 3. The ditch block is called out at elevation 14.0 feet on sheet C5.1, however; the treatment volume is retained at elevation 12.65 feet per the stage storage chart and the underdrain calculations are based on the ditch block at elevation 12.65 feet. Please clarify. [40C- 42.026 (2) F.A.C.] Section 20 +50 to 26 +50: 1. Please show the stations on the bottom of the profile on sheet C5.2 and the location of the cross culverts in the profile.

The cross - section indicates the depth from the bottom of the Glitch to the invert of the pipe to be 2.58 feet (2' native soil + 3" gravel + 4" pipe). This would dictate an invert at elevation 7.92 feet. [40C- 42.026 (2) F.A.C.] 3. Sheet C2.1 shows MES 7 and MES 8 at an invert elevation of 9.50 feet, however; the ditch bottom is indicated at elevation 10.5 feet. Please clarify. [40C -4.301 (1) F.A.C.] 4. Inlet H -1 (existing type "H" inlet) has a grate elevation of 10.5 feet. Is this grate to be adjusted? If not, how will the treatment volume in this section be retained?
