What’s below the surface can matter just as much as what’s above it.

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the tools used in subsurface investigations to gather information about conditions below ground — without immediately having to dig.

Depending on the project and site conditions, GPR can help identify subsurface features, anomalies, buried infrastructure, voids, or other areas that may warrant a closer look.

For Develop Environmental, this work is a natural fit. With a Ph.D. in geology and decades of field experience, Ray brings the geological expertise needed to interpret what the subsurface may be telling us.

Because sometimes the most important part of a site is the part you can’t see.

Florida sites can come with surprises. The best time to find them is before they start affecting your plans.

Early environmental due diligence gives developers and property owners a clearer picture of the site — and more time to make informed decisions about what comes next.

Know the site. Plan accordingly. Keep the project moving.

Develop Environmental is ONE! 🎉

It’s been a year of fieldwork, new relationships, cool coworkers, big projects—and a few lessons learned along the way. 😂

We’re incredibly grateful to every client, partner, colleague and friend who helped make Year One possible.

Year Two starts now.

From above, a property can look like one continuous piece of land.

On the ground, it can be a very different story.

Wetland delineations identify where regulated wetlands begin and end using vegetation, soils, and hydrology—not simply whether water is visible on the day of the site visit.

Knowing those boundaries early helps developers, engineers, and property owners plan with confidence, avoid surprises during permitting, and keep projects moving forward.

Every property is different, and understanding the site before development begins can save significant time and expense later.

Not everything happening on a construction site is visible.

Sometimes the most important information comes from a simple water sample.

Water sampling helps establish baseline conditions, verify compliance, investigate potential concerns, and provide the reliable data that supports sound environmental decisions.

Good decisions start with good data.

Whether it’s part of permitting, compliance, or environmental due diligence, collecting samples correctly—and documenting them properly—helps projects move forward with confidence.

Growing relationships in the communities we serve.

Environmental consulting is ultimately about people as much as projects. Strong relationships help create better communication, better planning, and better outcomes for the communities where development occurs.

Develop Environmental is committed to supporting responsible development throughout Central Florida, and being involved in our local business community is an important part of that mission.

We enjoyed meeting fellow members of the Lakeland Chamber and look forward to building new relationships in the months ahead.

Why does soil testing matter before development begins?

Because what’s below the surface can directly impact what gets built above it.

Soil conditions can influence:
• foundation design
• drainage and stormwater performance
• site stability
• construction planning
• long-term project costs

Identifying subsurface conditions early helps reduce surprises later in the project.

Whether it’s soft soils, groundwater, or other underlying site conditions, understanding what’s happening below grade helps teams plan with confidence before construction begins.

At Develop Environmental, early site knowledge helps projects move forward with a clearer path from planning to construction.

When it comes to Florida sand skink surveys, timing matters.

Missing the survey window can delay a project—so planning ahead matters.

📅 Spring: March 1 – May 31
📅 Fall: August 15 – October 31
⏱ Please allow approximately 3 weeks for scheduling

If your project may involve sand skink habitat, early coordination can make all the difference.

Meet Ray — Professional Geologist, field expert, problem solver, and part of the Develop Environmental team.

Ray’s experience in geology, environmental evaluations, and subsurface conditions helps projects move forward with a clearer understanding of what’s happening both above — and below — the surface.

His background helps identify potential site constraints early — before they become costly surprises later in development.

In development, what you don’t see underground can matter just as much as what’s visible on the site.

Ray brings decades of experience in:
• geology and subsurface conditions
• environmental and site evaluations
• geotechnical coordination
• Florida field investigations

At Develop Environmental, experienced field knowledge matters — because every site tells a different story.

What is an ERP permit?

ERP stands for Environmental Resource Permit.

In Florida, ERP permits are commonly required for projects involving:
• stormwater systems
• wetlands
• site grading
• drainage changes
• environmental impacts related to development

The goal is to help ensure that development is designed in a way that properly manages stormwater and protects surrounding environmental resources.

ERP requirements can vary depending on:
• project size
• location
• wetland impacts
• existing site conditions

Understanding permitting requirements early can help avoid delays, redesigns, and compliance issues later in the process.

At Develop Environmental, we help project teams identify permitting needs early and support projects through the environmental review process.
