[5035, 5069, & 5099 WARM SPRINGS AVE, WILDWOOD, FL 34785; case SEI File No. 1327.02.26] This document is an Environmental Assessment Report for the Warm Springs Ave Property, located at 5035, 5069, and 5099 Warm Springs Avenue in Wildwood, Sumter County, Florida. The project site is approximately 3.19 acres. The report details natural resource analysis, including topography, soils (Sparr fine sand), and vegetative community analysis (Open Land). It also assesses the potential presence of threatened and endangered species, finding no evidence of listed avian, amphibian, reptile, or mammal species, nor protected plant species. Areas classified as wetland/surface waters were observed within or adjacent to the property. The report recommends a more thorough survey for gopher tortoise burrows prior to construction and notes that development activities altering wetlands will require an Environmental Resource Permit from SWFWMD and NPDES coverage for construction activities of one acre or more. A consultation with the US Army Corps of Engineers may be necessary to confirm jurisdiction over wetlands.
