Permits, Ponds, and Pitfalls: Navigating Florida’s Stormwater Rule

  • Manatee Viewing Center 6990 Dickman Road Apollo Beach, FL, 33572 United States (map)

Join us on March 12, 2026, from 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM (ET) for an in-person Lunch & Learn hosted by Colliers Engineering & Design at the Manatee Viewing Center.

This session, “Permits, Ponds, and Pitfalls: Navigating Florida’s Stormwater Rule,” will be led by Greg Stevens, PE, of Colliers Engineering & Design.

Florida’s updated stormwater rule — enacted to strengthen protection of aquatic resources — is now directly impacting site planning and deal execution across the state. Because the rule applies to all developments greater than one acre, it has quickly become a front-of-mind consideration for land professionals evaluating feasibility, timelines, and costs.

During this session, attendees will gain clarity on:

• The key components of Florida’s new stormwater rule
 • How the rule affects permitting timelines and design requirements
 • Impacts on pond sizing, treatment systems, and site layout
 • Common pitfalls developers and engineers are encountering
 • Practical strategies to mitigate risk and protect project viability

Understanding stormwater compliance is no longer optional — it’s essential to keeping projects moving efficiently and avoiding costly redesigns.

Lunch Provided. RSVP Required.
