Executive Engineering Summary

"Clearwater residential lots sit on permeable coastal sands overlying karst Hawthorn Group limestone. Due to the high risk of sinkhole activation and a shallow water table averaging 3 to 5 feet near the sound, pool removal requires specialized engineering controls. Decommissioning demands active dewatering pumps to control water infiltration, hydraulic breakers to puncture the pool slab bottom without triggering high vibration, and moisture-controlled compaction of select sands."
