Special Master Hearing - Lecanto Sand Mine CPA/AA/PUD-2025-00010 · 2026-06-05 · agenda_item

A special master hearing is planned for a mining operation in Lecanto, Citrus County. The proposal involves a Master Mining Plan that includes phased excavation activities across 40-acre sections. Sand will be excavated and directly loaded onto trucks for transport, without on-site processing. The plan requires a groundwater monitoring and reporting plan, a Pollution Prevention Plan with Best Management Practices, and a stormwater pollution prevention plan. Biological and geotechnical reports are also required. This item is currently under review, with a hearing scheduled. The project will involve site clearing and grading, excavation, and potentially stormwater management system installation. Contractors specializing in site preparation, heavy equipment operation, environmental consulting, and potentially utility work could find opportunities. Early engagement is advised as plans and permits are being finalized.
