Local Conditions That Affect Sand Use in Lake Butler

Lake Butler gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter for any sand project. About 78 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is key. The soil in the Lake Butler area is commonly poorly drained, so more base stone may be needed under a surface layer of sand. The ground around Lake Butler is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in other places.

With about 15 days a year dropping below 32F, the freeze-thaw cycle can shift unstable ground. A stable sand base is important for long-term level surfaces.

Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.
