Ocala & Marion County septic & civil engineering

High water table, springs protection, and nitrogen-reducing systems.

Ocala and the surrounding horse country sit on the Floridan aquifer with springsheds that get real regulatory attention. Seasonal high groundwater and nitrogen limits drive mound systems and enhanced nutrient-reducing designs on parcels that would be routine anywhere else.

We design onsite wastewater, grading, and stormwater for rural residential, barn and agritourism, and small commercial projects across Marion County and the growth corridor toward The Villages.

What we design in Ocala & Marion County

  • Onsite sewage treatment and disposal system (OSTDS) design
  • Nitrogen-reducing / enhanced treatment layouts in springs protection areas
  • Mound and filled system design for high seasonal groundwater
  • Site grading, retention, and stormwater management
  • Barn, arena, and rural commercial site plans

Local code & permitting notes

  • Florida DEP administers OSTDS permitting (transferred from DOH); county environmental health handles field review.
  • Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) springs areas can require enhanced nutrient-reducing systems.
  • Water Management District (SJRWMD/SWFWMD) permits apply to larger stormwater systems.

Code references are summaries for planning. Final requirements come from the permitting authority at the time of submittal.
