SITE INFORMATION
PROJECT 2011-1
Orange County, Florida
Project Summary
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. is seeking Construction Permit Approval for 14.80 acres of
proposed improvements in Section 11, Township 24 South, Range 27 East, in Orange County, Florida.
The project area is 13.10 acres and is located adjacent to and south of south of Disney’s Grand Floridian
Resort feature swimming pool and bar facilities on the west shore of Seven Seas Lagoon. Improvements
proposed with this application include a new building, an access roadway, parking areas, hardscape,
landscape and irrigation, utilities and surface water management system. The project will also include
1.70 acres of 100-year floodplain compensation areas for floodplain impacts caused by construction of the
proposed building, for a total project area of 14.80 acres.
Water quality treatment for Project 2011-1 will be provided in five (5) proposed dry detention stormwater
ponds and one (1) proposed wet detention stormwater pond. The proposed system of dry detention ponds
(Ponds 1 - 5) will provide 0.75 inch or greater of water quality treatment to its combined drainage basin.
The site of the proposed building contains two (2) existing interconnected dry detention stormwater ponds
which serve a 1.56-acre basin for the aforementioned feature pool and bar facilities (SFWMD Permit No.
48-00714-S, Application No. 000912-14, Grand Floridian Pool Feature). These existing ponds will be
eliminated with the proposed building construction, but the proposed dry detention pond system will
continue to provide treatment for the 1.56-acre pool facilities basin.
The proposed wet detention pond (Pond 6) will provide 1 inch or greater of water quality treatment to its
drainage basin. The site of the proposed parking lot contains an existing parking lot and wet detention
stormwater pond as part of a 4.73-acre basin for Disney’s Wedding Pavilion and associated parking lot
(SFWMD Permit No. 48-00714-S, Application No. 940609-1, Disney Wedding Chapel). The existing
wet detention pond will be relocated to the south end of the 13.10-acre project area and expanded to
provide treatment for the proposed parking lot and the reconfigured Wedding Pavilion parking lot, in
addition to the remaining Wedding Pavilion facilities building and paved drop-off.
Compensating storage for the proposed encroachment into the 100-year floodplain of Seven Seas Lagoon
will be provided in two (2) areas totaling 1.70 acres (100-Year Floodplain Compensation Sites 1 and 2)
east of the main project site and immediately adjacent to Bay Lake, which is interconnected with Seven
Seas Lagoon.

boundary of any lake, stream or other watercourse located on or adjacent to the site;
A portion of the main project area lies within the 100-year floodplain of Seven Seas Lagoon. The 100-
year floodplain elevation is 95.0 and was obtained from the UNET computer model for RCID’s Master
Drainage Plan Update, May 2008. The volume of the 100-year floodplain of Seven Seas Lagoon within
the project limits prior to this project (i.e., pre-development) is 0.55 acre-feet.
Compensating storage for encroachment into this floodplain volume will be provided in proposed 100-
Year Floodplain Compensation Sites 1 and 2 located on the southwest and northwest shores, respectively,
of Bay Lake, which is interconnected with Seven Seas Lagoon and has the same 100-year flood elevation
of 95.0. Site 1 will provide 0.37 acre-feet of compensation and Site 2 will provide 0.18 acre-feet, for a
total compensation of 0.55 acre-feet. Compensation will be provided at the two sites by excavating
existing ground between elevations 94.5 and 95.0 and creating an open water body connection to Bay
Lake. Please refer to Appendix G for floodplain encroachment and compensating storage calculations.
The boundaries of wetlands and other surface waters within the project area. Distinguish those
wetlands and other surface waters that have been delineated by any binding jurisdictional
determination;
There are no wetlands surrounding or within the main project site. The wetlands south of Floodplain
Compensation Sites 1 and 2 were delineated with Permit No. 48-00714-S, Application No. 920205-9.
The jurisdictional waterbody adjacent to the main site, Seven Seas Lagoon, was delineated with Permit
No. 48-00714-S, Application No. 920205-9. Please refer to the attached construction plans for
jurisdictional waterbody location. Also, please refer to Appendix F for exhibits delineating the
jurisdictional waterbody.

surfaces, and water management areas. Use the same classification system and community
identification number used in III (B) above.
The proposed land uses for Project 2011-1, within the limits of construction of the main site and
Floodplain Compensation Sites 1 and 2 are as follows:
1
Seven Seas Lagoon remaining within limits of construction of main project site.
2
Dry detention bottom areas, wet detention water surface areas, and Floodplain
Compensation Sites 1 and 2.
Proposed impacts to wetlands and other surface waters, and any proposed connections/outfalls to
other surface waters or wetlands;
A 0.28-acre impact to Wetland 3.2A is being proposed with this application to construct Compensating
Storage Site 2. 1.38 acres of Wetland 3.2A was previously permitted for impact.
Seven Seas Lagoon within the main project site project limits is considered a SFWMD jurisdictional
waterbody. An area of 0.99 acre of Seven Seas Lagoon is proposed to be impacted by fill with this
project and is a new impact being sought with this permit.
Wetland and waterbody impact exhibits and a Revised Table 11 (Accounting System for Tracking
SFWMD Permitted Wetland Impacts) reflecting the proposed waterbody impact is included in Appendix
F.
There are no wetlands surrounding or within the main project site. However, a minimum 15-foot, average
25-foot buffer will be maintained adjacent to Wetland 7.1F1, south of Floodplain Compensation Site 1
project area. Wetland 3.2A, south of Floodplain Compensation Site 2, was previously permitted for
impact so it does not have a buffer.

the protection of water quality. To facilitate the protection of the wetland within the development site, a
environmental protection plan will be implemented on the project site prior to commencement of
construction. The Environmental Protection Plan will provide that:
2) Contractors are not permitted to enter adjacent protected jurisdictional wetlands at any time.
All construction personnel will be prevented from using the adjacent wetlands for any reason,
other than as a receiving body for site discharge that meets Class III water quality standards.
3) Construction site access will be via upland areas exclusively using roads and rights-of-way
where possible, for access to construction areas.
5) Damage to adjacent wetlands to construction areas will be prevented by delineating the limits
of construction, and installing construction fences and sediment barriers prior to the
commencement of construction activities, thereby retaining sediment within the construction
area. Contractors shall be required to adequately maintain these protection measures at all
times.
6) Erosion control will be maintained within construction areas by quickly stabilizing disturbed
areas to prevent release of sediment. This will be accomplished using grass cover and
turbidity fences.
7) Silt booms will be used in pond and waterway areas to prevent release of sediment and/or
turbid water into surrounding waters. These sediment and turbidity barriers will be
maintained throughout the construction period. Turbidity levels in sensitive areas will be
closely monitored by Reedy Creek Improvement District during construction.
8) Adjacent protected wetlands shall be considered any protected wetland within the limits of
construction. All protected wetlands down stream or lower than adjacent associated
construction shall incorporate sediment barriers.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND TECHNIQUES
Provide a construction schedule, and a description of construction techniques, sequencing and
equipment. This information should specifically include the following:
The Applicant will ensure that all development activities employ Best Management Practices to ensure
the protection of water quality, as follows:
1) During dewatering of any other activity that might lower the groundwater table, the
contractor is required to keep the water within six inches of the surface, by irrigation if
necessary.
2) Construction site access will be via upland areas exclusively using roads and rights-of-way
where possible, for access to construction areas.
4) Erosion control will be maintained within construction areas by quickly stabilizing disturbed
areas to prevent release of sediment. This will be accomplished using grass cover and
turbidity fences.
For projects that involve dredging or excavation in wetlands or other surface waters, describe the
method of excavation, and the type of material to be excavated;
Excavation with Wetland 3.2A, which has been permitted for impact, will involve the removal of any
muck or organic material by backhoe.
For projects that involve fill in wetlands or other surface waters, describe the source and type of fill
material to be used. For shoreline stabilization projects that involve the installation of riprap, state
how these materials are to be placed, (i.e., individually or with heavy equipment) and whether the

Time vs. tailwater elevation relationships used in the ICPR v3 10-year and 100-year/72-hour
pond routings for Ponds 1 - 5 in Appendix C were derived for the wetland to the west of Grand
Floridian Entry Drive (“NODE07”) from the ICPR Ver 2.11 routing calculations performed for
Grand Floridian Pool Feature (SFWMD Permit No. 48-00714-S, Application No. 000912-14),
included in Appendix D.
Time vs. tailwater elevation relationships used in the ICPR v3 10-year and 100-year/72-hour
pond routings for Pond 6 in Appendix C were obtained for the RCID L-405A Canal to the west of
Floridian Way from the UNET computer model for RCID’s Master Drainage Plan Update, May
2008. A summary of the time vs. tailwater elevations is included in Appendix C.
12. Pump specifications and operating curves for range of possible operating conditions (if used
in system).
V-2
There are no pumps proposed with this project.
Provide the results of any percolation tests, where appropriate, and soil borings that are
representative of the actual site conditions;
Soil borings representative of actual site conditions were performed by PSI and presented in their report
entitled “Design Level Geotechnical Services, Project 2011-1, PSI Project No. 0757425” dated December
13, 2010 included in Appendix E.
Provide the acreage, and percentages of the total project, of the following:
The drainage basin tables below provide the approximate acreages and percentages for the basins within
the limits of construction that contain proposed improvements and will receive water quality treatment:
Includes 1.56 acres of existing feature pool and bar facilities drainage area from Permit No. 48-
00714-S, Application No. 000912-14, Grand Floridian Pool Feature (0.30 acre Impervious
Pavement and Hardscape; 0.41 acre Buildings; and 0.85 acre Pervious Open Space) which will
drain to Pond 2 of the proposed stormwater system for water quality treatment and conveyance.
This area is not included in the limits of construction but is accounted for in the water quality
calculations, stormwater routing, and storm sewer calculations.
Also includes a portion of the existing Health Club facility from Permit No. 48-00714-S,
Application No. 940609-1, Disney Wedding Chapel which is included in the limits of
construction and will drain to Pond 4 of the proposed stormwater system for water quality
treatment and conveyance.
V-3
Drainage Basin Table
Proposed Pond 6
Includes a portion of the existing Wedding Pavilion facility from Permit No. 48-00714-S,
Application No. 940609-1, Disney Wedding Chapel which will drain to Pond 6 of the proposed
stormwater system for water quality treatment and conveyance. This area is not included in the
limits of construction but is accounted for in the water quality calculations, stormwater routing,
and storm sewer calculations.
Excludes 1.02-acre offsite drainage area from the existing Luau which will continue to drain to
Pond 6 of the proposed stormwater system for conveyance. This area is not included in the limits
of construction but is accounted for in the stormwater routing and storm sewer calculations.
However, it is not accounted for in the water quality calculations for Pond 6.
The Total Basin Area of 14.88 acres represents the project area which has been accounted for in the water
quality calculations, stormwater routing, and storm sewer calculations, and includes the 1.56-acre existing
feature pool and bar facilities drainage area. The remaining 0.22-acre difference between the 13.32-acre
Basin Area which excludes the feature pool area and the 13.10-acre Project Area within the limits of
construction of the main project area is the result of minor differences between the two boundaries.
A portion of the main project area lies within the 100-year floodplain of Seven Seas Lagoon. The 100-
year floodplain elevation is 95.0 and was obtained from the UNET computer model for RCID’s Master
Drainage Plan Update, May 2008. The volume of the 100-year floodplain of Seven Seas Lagoon within
V-4
the project limits prior to this project (i.e., pre-development) is 0.55 acre-feet.
Compensating storage for encroachment into this floodplain volume will be provided in 100-Year
Floodplain Compensation Sites 1 and 2 located on the southwest and northwest shores, respectively, of
Bay Lake, which is interconnected with Seven Seas Lagoon and has the same 100-year flood elevation of
95.0. Site 1 will provide 0.37 acre-feet of compensation and Site 2 will provide 0.18 acre-feet, for a total
compensation of 0.55 acre-feet. Compensation will be provided at the two sites by excavating existing
ground between elevations 94.5 and 95.0 and creating an open water body connection to Bay Lake.
Please refer to Appendix G for floodplain encroachment and compensating storage calculations.
Water quality treatment for the building, entrance road and the majority of the surrounding area will be
provided in a proposed system of onsite dry detention stormwater Ponds 1 through 5. The proposed pond
system will provide 0.75 inch or greater of water quality treatment to its overall 7.24-acre drainage area.
Ponds 1 - 5 will also continue to provide 0.75 inch or greater of water quality treatment for the existing
1.56-acre feature pool facilities drainage area. Ponds 1 - 5 will have a control elevation of 95.5 and a
bottom elevation of 96.5. Control at elevation 95.5 will be accomplished through a 3-inch diameter
drawdown orifice in Control Structure CS-1 on Pond 1, and equalized through sumped interconnection
pipes and inlets between Pond 1 and Ponds 2 - 5.
Water quality treatment for the proposed parking lot and reconfigured Wedding Pavilion parking lot will
be provided in a proposed wet detention stormwater Pond 6. The proposed pond will provide 1 inch or
greater of water quality treatment to its 6.08-acre drainage area. Pond 6 will also continue to provide 1
inch or greater of water quality treatment for the remainder of existing Wedding Pavilion facilities. Pond
6 will have a control elevation of 94.0, to match that of the existing wet detention pond. Control at
elevation 94.0 will be accomplished through a 3-inch diameter drawdown orifice in Control Structure CS-
2 on Pond 6.
Provide a description of the engineering methodology, assumptions and references for the
parameters listed above, and a copy of all such computations, engineering plans, and specifications
used to analyze the system. If a computer program is used for the analysis, provide the name of the
program, a description of the program, input and output data, two diskette copies, if available, and
justification for model selection.
Post-development basin hydrographs and pond routings for Project 2011-1 were executed for 10-year and
100-year, 72-hour storms (10.19 inches and 14.27 inches, respectively, SFWMD Three-Day Rainfall
Distribution) for the proposed ponds (see Appendix C). Pond routing calculations for design and analysis
of the project’s stormwater management ponds was obtained using the stormwater modeling computer
program “Interconnected Channel and Pond Routing Model” (ICPR) Version 3, developed by Streamline
Technologies, Inc. Construction plans are also included as attachments.
