June 1, 2026 Ardaman File No. 24-23-5224

Subject:	Year 2026 Above Ground Impoundment (AGI) Inspection Report Capron Trail Community Development District
St. Lucie County, Florida Permit No. 56-00745-S

On May 21, 2026, Mr. Jason Manning, PE with Ardaman & Associates, Inc. conducted the Year 2026 inspection of Reservoirs 1 and 2, and Wetland Preserves 1 and 2 of the Capron Trail Community Development District located in St. Lucie County, Florida (Sections 1 to 3, 12, 13, 24 and 25, Township 34 S, Range 38 E). Mr. David Bass with Premier Citrus was contacted prior to our inspection. The majority of the downstream slopes of the levees at both Reservoir 1 and Reservoir 2 had been mowed shortly before our inspection.

Following is a description of conditions observed during our inspections, including items which need to be addressed as part of the regular maintenance program for the reservoirs. Figure 1 shows a reproduction of an aerial photograph of the reservoirs and preserves. Figure 2 shows a map of the reservoirs.

RESERVOIR #1 (SOUTH RESERVOIR)

CREST AND INSIDE SLOPES

The crests and upper portion of the four levees are in relatively good shape. The soils along the crest are firm and there are no signs of significant slope failure or cracks.

Some minor rutting of the levee surface roadway was noted along the north portion of the roadway on the West Levee. Repairs of the rutting in this area do not appear necessary at this time; however, this area should be monitored for additional rutting. No significant rutting of the levee surface roadway was noted around the remaining portions of Reservoir #1.

There is abundant cattail growth along the water line of the inside of the embankments of Reservoir #1, except for one small area noted on the interior of the South Levee as discussed below.

The Wetland Supply Structure on the South Levee was observed. The structure appeared to be in good condition. Some excessive vegetation growth was noted at this structure location, and we recommend that the vegetation around the structure be trimmed back to provide better access.
Photo 4 - South Reservoir. Wetland Supply Structure.

On the east portion of the South Levee, we noted an approximate 15 to 20-foot-long area of sparse vegetation growth and early wave erosion on the inside of the levee. A wooden stake with the designation “S-1” was placed on the north side of the crest road at this location. A photograph of this area is presented below.

The main spillway located on the East Levee which discharges into the C-1A southeast-northwest canal that abuts the reservoir was observed. The gauge on the spillway was observed to be in good condition and the reservoir water elevation reading on the gauge was approximately 29.4 feet (NGVD) on the day of our inspection which is about 4.6 feet below the crest of the levee. The levee slope at the west end of the C-1A canal is protected with a concrete mat. No sinkholes, potholes, or depressions were noted above the buried spillway pipe in this area of the levee.

The emergency morning glory (S-5A) spillway formed by a vertical corrugated metal pipe is located in the northern portion of the East Levee. The spillway structure was covered by floating water hyacinth on the day of our inspection and we could not observed the structure. There were no obvious signs of depressions or sinkholes noted in this levee area on the day of our inspection.

According to Mr. Bass, recent repairs to the pump station near the center of the East Levee were made. As a result of these repairs, a short section of the Levee was impacted and the final repairs to this area of the Levee were underway at the time of our inspection. The interior and exterior slopes in this levee repair area appeared to be in good condition.

North Levee

Typical view of the North Levee is presented below. No significant issues were noted along the crest and inside slope of the North Levee.
Photo 11 - South Reservoir. General View of North Levee.

The slope around the main intake (PS-1) pump discharge pipes located near the middle of the North Levee has been protected with rip rap armor. On the day of our inspection, we noted that some of the rip rap is starting to move down the slope exposing the geotextile fabric. It is noted that this condition was also noted during the 2025 inspection and has worsened slightly since the previous inspection in 2025. No obvious signs of depressions or sinkholes were noted in the immediate vicinity of the pump intake on the day of our inspection.

OUTER SLOPES

There is good grass cover on the outside slopes of the levees on each side of the South Reservoir.

The toe of the levee was improved in 2017-2018 with an approximately one-foot-deep re-established ditch (toe ditch) connecting the intake pipes of the toe drains, so that most of the toe area is relatively dry and firm for most of the time. The reworked ditch is occasionally deeper than the level of the slots in the vertical pipe connected to the horizontal toe discharge pipe, which causes a minor ponding of water around some intake pipes.

West Levee

Along the West Levee the outer surface of the levee was generally dry and in good condition.

South Levee

The outside slope of the South Levee has not been mowed. Thus, we could not inspect the outside of the levee in this area except at the southwest corner which was dry and firm.

The area to the south of the south (S-6) spillway discharge pipe had at least one foot of water. The area around the staff gauge by the discharge pipe of the south reservoir spillway was overgrown with vegetation at the time of the inspection and we recommend that the vegetation be cut back so that the gauge can be read. There were no obvious signs of seepage under the discharge pipe and the soils around this location were firm on the day of our inspection.

East levee

The perforations in standpipes of the toe ditch are occasionally higher than the level of the bottom of the toe drain, so that there is an accumulation of water in the bottom of the toe ditch in some areas, but the adjacent slopes are generally firm.

Capron Trail Community Development District
Ardaman File No. 24-23-5224	-8-

No significant rutting of the levee surface adjacent to the toe ditch was noted along the East Levee.

North Levee

The lower portion of the slopes of the levee were relatively dry on the day of our inspection, with no obvious signs of significant seepage. These areas were noted to be in good condition.

RESERVOIR #2 (NORTH RESERVOIR)

CREST AND INSIDE SLOPES

The crests and upper portion of the levees are in good shape. The soils along the crest are firm and there are no signs of significant slope failure or cracks.

No significant rutting of the levee surface roadway was noted around Reservoir #2.

There is abundant cattail growth along the water line of the inside of the embankments except for one area of sparse vegetation and early wave erosion discussed below for the North Levee.

East Levee

Typical view of the East Levee is presented below. No significant issues were noted along the crest and inside slope of the East Levee.
Photo 13 - North Reservoir. General View of East Levee.

The main spillway structure located at the southeast corner of the east section of the reservoir discharges into a canal to the southeast of the reservoir. There were no obvious sinkholes or depressions noted during the inspection between the intake and discharge ends of this pipe. The spillway structure has a staff gauge to mark the level of the water in the reservoir. At the time of our inspection, the water level inside the reservoir was at an elevation of about 29.5 feet (NGVD) according to the staff gauge.

North Levee

Typical view of the North Levee is presented below. No significant issues were noted along the crest and inside slope of the North Levee, except for the area noted below in Item b).
Photo 15 - North Reservoir. General View of North Levee.

Near the center of the North Levee, we noted an approximate 130-foot-long area of somewhat sparse vegetation and signs of early wave erosion on the inside of the levee. A wooden stake with the designation “N-1” was placed on the south side of the crest road at this location. This has been an ongoing issue in this area of the North Levee.

West Levees – Northwest and South “Compartments”

Typical view of the West Levee is presented below. No significant issues were noted along the crest and inside slope of the West Levees along the northwest and south compartments.
Photo 17 - North Reservoir. General View of West Levee.

The discharge pipe/pump station near the north end of the West Levee was observed and no issues were noted near this facility.

South Levees - Northwest and Southern “Compartments”

Typical view of the South Levee is presented below. No significant issues were noted along the crest and inside slope of the South Levees along the northwest and south compartments.
Photo 18 - North Reservoir. General View of South Levee.

The discharge pipe/pump station near the east end of the South Levee was observed and no issues were noted near this facility.

OUTER SLOPES

A ditch (toe ditch) has been re-established to a depth of about one foot along the toes of the levees. For the most part, the ditches were found to be generally dry with firm soils by it. The slopes and the toe areas are generally dry and firm as noted below, indicating that seepage across the embankments is not significant.

Capron Trail Community Development District
Ardaman File No. 24-23-5224	-11-

East Levee

The lower portion of the slopes of the levee are relatively dry, with no obvious signs of significant seepage, and are in good shape.

North Levee

The lower portion of the slopes of the levee are relatively dry, with no obvious signs of significant seepage, and are in good shape. The toe ditch was generally dry at the time of inspection.

West Levees of the Northwestern and South “Compartments”

The lower portion of the slopes of the levees at the northwest and south compartments are relatively dry, with no obvious signs of significant seepage, and are in good shape.

South Levee of the Northwestern and South “Compartments”

The lower portion of the slopes of the levee at the northwest compartment are relatively dry, with no obvious signs of significant seepage, and are in good shape. No significant rutting due to wet conditions was noted during our inspection of this area.

PRESERVE AREAS

There were no significant changes in the perimeter parapet berms of both preserves noted during the 2026 inspection. There are some minor erosion effects in the perimeter berms of the western and northern parts of Preserve #2.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Following are some of the maintenance items that should be completed in the immediate future based on the results of our recent inspection.

South Reservoir

South Levee - we recommend clearing the vegetation away from the Wetland Supply structure and from the area south of the south spillway discharge pipe on the outside of the levee and making sure that the staff gauge is clearly visible.

South Levee - repair the 15 to 20-foot-long area of sparse vegetation growth and early wave erosion on the inside of the east portion of the South Levee (wooden stake “S-1” placed at this location). We recommend repairing this area by clearing the vegetation, determining the slope, then placing fill soil as needed to restore the slope. The fill soil should be tamped with the excavator bucket as placed.

Capron Trail Community Development District
Ardaman File No. 24-23-5224	-12-

East Levee – we recommend that vegetation be planted on the interior and exterior slopes in the levee repair area on the north portion of the East Levee as soon as possible to protect this area form the possible effects of surface erosion.

North Levee – At the location of the main intake (PS-1) pump discharge pipes, rip rap should be placed on portions of the inside slope where the underlying geotextile fabric is becoming exposed.

North Reservoir

North Levee - repair the area of sparse vegetation growth and early wave erosion on the inside of the levee beginning near the central portion of the levee and extending for roughly 130 feet (wooden stake “N-1” placed at this location). We recommend repairing this area by clearing the vegetation, determining the slope, then placing fill soil as needed to restore the slope. The fill soil should be tamped with the excavator bucket as placed.

Misc.

We recommend the preparation of a formal list of employees with direct responsibility for the operation of the reservoirs during pre-storm and storm conditions and a listing of emergency procedures with regards to the lowering of the water in the reservoirs.
