1) After excavation is complete and upon reclamation of the site, the banks of the excavations must be sloped at a ratio not greater than four (4) horizontal to one (1) vertical from the top of the finished grade to an elevation of four feet below the dry season water depth or as specifically provided in FDEP or SWFWMD approval for mining reclamation. RECLAMATION PLAN ATTACHED EXHIBITS F1-F4.
This item concerns the reclamation plan for the Lecanto Sand Mine, located in Citrus County. The plan requires that after excavation is finished, the banks of the excavation sites must be sloped at a ratio of four horizontal to one vertical. This slope must extend from the top of the finished grade down to four feet below the dry season water depth, or as otherwise approved by the FDEP or SWFWMD. This item is currently under review by a Special Master. The reclamation work will involve site grading and potentially specialized earthwork to achieve the required slopes. Contractors with expertise in site preparation, grading, and potentially environmental remediation could find opportunities as this plan moves forward. Early engagement may be beneficial before final permits and specific site plans are established.

1) Mining activities which are conducted within one-thousand (1,000) feet of a County or State maintained public road, residential structure, permanent building or public park shall be screened from view. A 100 FT VEGETATIVE BUFFER WILL BE PRESERVED AROUND ALL PROPERTY LINES. 2) A planted vegetation buffer meeting the standards of this LDC must be maintained. A berm eight (8) foot in height, that meets the following standards may be incorporated into a vegetated buffer where existing native vegetation is lacking. Native vegetation of no less than one hundred (100) feet in average depth may substitute a planted buffer, provided such buffer provides the equivalent of a Type "D" enhanced buffer. Such buffer may be bisected by natural or manmade features such as wetlands or access roads.
A Special Master Hearing is planned for June 5, 2026, regarding a proposed mining activity in Lecanto. The proposal includes requirements for screening mining operations within 1,000 feet of public roads, homes, buildings, or parks. A 100-foot vegetative buffer will be preserved around all property lines. Additionally, a planted vegetation buffer or an 8-foot berm may be incorporated, with native vegetation of at least 100 feet in depth potentially substituting for a planted buffer. This review stage means that plans are still being developed. The project could involve site preparation, grading, installation of berms, and extensive landscaping and vegetation management. Contractors specializing in site clearing, grading, landscaping, and potentially construction of berms may find opportunities. Suppliers of native plants and landscaping materials could also be involved. Engaging early in this planned review process allows businesses to understand the project's scope and requirements before final bids and permits are issued.

1. Introduction
EcoLOGIC Environmental Services, LLC is presenting a biological assessment for a proposed expansion of the Lecanto Sand Mine. This project is planned for approximately 45 acres in Lecanto, Florida, located south of 3098 S McClure Point and west of S Race Avenue. The site consists of four parcels and is intended for sand extraction. A biological assessment was completed to support development planning and meet permitting requirements. This assessment confirmed the presence of gopher tortoises and identified the habitat as xeric oak sandhill. The project is currently under review as part of the development permitting process, which includes an Environmental Resource Permitting review. The work would involve site preparation for mining, potentially including clearing, grading, and excavation. Contractors specializing in site preparation, environmental services, and heavy equipment operation may find opportunities. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand project needs before final plans and permits are issued.

11. Reclamation Standards: Mining operations will be subject to reclamation. Unless specified within an ERP, reclamation shall be subject to the following reclamation standards. The Board of County Commissioners may modify these standards as a condition of approval when in the public interest, or where they determine a particular requirement unnecessary due to unusual circumstances. These conditions are not intended to conflict with the wetland permitting requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, FDEP or SWFWMD. If differences exist, adjustments necessary to resolve the conflicts are acceptable for review. RECLAMATION TO MATCH THAT IN THE SWFWMD ERP IS REQUESTED.
This item concerns proposed reclamation standards for mining operations in Citrus County. The standards are intended to guide the process of restoring land after mining has concluded. The Board of County Commissioners has the ability to adjust these standards if it is deemed to be in the public interest or if specific circumstances make a requirement unnecessary. The proposal requests that reclamation efforts match those outlined in the Southwest Florida Water Management District's Environmental Resource Permit. This matter is currently under review. The project would involve site preparation and grading for restoration, potentially followed by landscaping and revegetation. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and landscaping services could find opportunities as this plan moves forward. Engaging early, before final permits and specific plans are set, allows businesses to understand the project's scope and requirements.
