Waterway Park Boat Ramp - Environmental Permitting & Listed Species Survey

Waterway Park boat ramp is a project located in Jupiter, Palm Beach County, Florida. It is composed of approximately 30 acres of land located along the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), just south of the Indiantown Road bridge. The project site had some sensitive environmental areas including 6.09 acres of mangrove wetland, upland habitat, Gopher tortoise habitat, and submerged resources below the mean high water line. In addition, the south end of the property includes 11.32 acres of mangrove restoration that is managed by Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management Department (ERM).

WGI Environmental staff performed extensive environmental services for the project including a wetland jurisdictional determination, seagrass and submerged resources survey, Gopher tortoise survey, and a Global Positioning System (GPS) tree inventory. Upon completion of the environmental surveys, comprehensive environmental permitting entitlement was achieved for project approval and development by WGI staff including mitigation and monitoring plans.
