Yeah, the engineering report says that the pond could be up to 30ft deep, that will be a lot of fill. I doesn't appear that they are going to fill in the pond.

Seeing that no one uses that entrance, they would've been fine.

Cross posting this here since the original thread about the permit is still in the main forum...
Disney has filed with the South Florida Water Management District for a modification to this permit. The changes include small reconfigurations of the Osceola Parkway ramp and the access road. The modification also adds a temporary conveyor belt that will be used to carry dirt from the excavation of the new retention pond over to the park where it will be used for fill. I guess they decided that this would be more efficient then trying to move it with trucks.
The modification to the Osceola ramp is interesting because it shows what appears to be the start of an extension all the way to World Drive. Maybe this will become the new Osceola to World Drive ramp when all the work is done.
Drove through this entry today and saw a lot of grading flags had been put in the ground. No earth moving yet but I'd say it won't be long now before they start. A couple of weeks perhaps.

Yep. Only locals or those coming from the south tend to use it.Seeing that no one uses that entrance, they would've been fine.
There was a permit filed today with the description "DHS Back of House Demolition Package 1.10" with an address of 396 Cypress Dr. I have seen that address connected to LMA before, but since it says Back of House it might be for something else in that area. Same contractor as the other site prep work.

Oh god don't get people started on that again. There's NO, and let me repeat that, NO credible rumors of carsland coming to DHS.
There was another demolition permit today with the description "DHS Back of House Demolition Package 1.09". The address, 450 Cypress, is that addresses used for Catastrophe Canyon. The previous permit for this area was package 1.08.

You didn't see my Sarcasm in that post. The "Cars" land I was referring to was all the cars they construction crew would be parking in that space.

did they pull all the pit linings out yet? perhaps that demo work is a bit more specialized?
That's a definite possibility. The last pictures I saw still had all the underground concrete still there.
Nope, permits have been very quiet recently.
A permit was filed with the South Florida Water Management District for DHS-BOH Construction Laydown Yard which is another name for a staging area. This is where the construction trailers and contractor parking will go. The proposed schedule is to start construction in July/August 2016 and complete by October 2016. The permit says this area will be used by "three separate project teams", so this is probably some combination of TSL, SWL, the new retention pond and parking changes, and/or the new entrance road.
The permit shows three laydown areas, RCID, DHS and FAM. I have seen the FAM abbreviation before but I am not sure what it stands for.
Figured it out, FAM = Facility Asset Management.

OK, ill give in, with them putting the laydown yard over there, i must concede that SWL is more than likely going in the LMA area...

it is going to make the construction entrance cramped and difficult to unload at though

Isn't that kinda far away from where the construction is going on to be a staging area?
