Subject: RDA Consulting/Vibra-Tech/SR 846 Land Mine Structural/Seismic Report (Dixon Residence)

To: Donald Schrotenboer and all related parties:

Yesterday on 02/04/2025, I received the final completed structural report that was conducted at my residence by RDA Consulting Engineers (project #RDA240129) for the Dixon Residence located at 4470 22 ST NE Naples, FL. 34120. Thank you Donald Schrotenboer! I do have to say that I'm very disappointed with the report overall and I'm not talking about their "Conclusion" that was deemed by RDA & Vibra-Tech. For these two professional companies having 8 months to work on this project there are numerous issues with this report. This report contains a multitude of incorrect information, misinformation, incomplete information, and pertinent information that is not being provided or documented in this very critical report.

SUMMARRY OF QUESTIONS: (Pertaining to the DIXON residence only)

PAGE 4 of 41:

- "home owners have claimed that the disturbances began on September 14, 2023". (my opinion, this blast caused the initial damage/cracks on my residence and additional cracks with subsequent blast) ***On 02/01/2024 at the CCPC meeting both the SR846 Land Mine representatives & Commissioners all agreed that the blast effects would be extremely significant and felt by the residents.

- RDA/Vibra-Tech documented and based all their research and findings of the Dixon residence with a location of 16,782-20,077 feet/ 3.18-3.8 miles from the SR 846 Land Mine? How is it that the Dixon residence is immediately next door to the Hussmann residence and his location documented by RDA/Vibra-Tech is 6906-9785 feet/ 1.3-1.85 miles from the SR 846 Land Mine? ***If RDA/Vibra-Tech does not even know or have my correct location, how can any of their research/findings be validated?

- It was told to Dixon both via email & phone that the Seismic company that was going to be hired which turned out to be "Vibra-Tech" (which was never revealed to me until now in this final report) was going to be a 3rd party, non biasis, non affiliated relationship with the SR 846 Land Mine. Please explain how it is that "GeoSonics" who represents the SR 846 Land Mine is the same company as "Vibra-Tech"? http://www.geosonicsvibratech.com THERE THE SAME Company that represents SR 846 Land Mine Trust! Talk about a CONFLICT of INTEREST??

PAGE 9 of 41:

- Structural plans were available BUT never requested by RDA consulting.

PAGE 10 of 41:

- There was more pictures taken of the Dixon residence damage/cracks then what was presented in the final report. All the pictures in the report state stress cracks? (my opinion I agree, stress cracks from continual blasting. On 07/02/2024 during the inspection visit by RDA consultant "Michael Ifrim", a comment was made that the cracks/damage do appear to be more then just standard settlement cracks BUT "Michael Ifrim" did state that lets wait and see what the findings are to be more definitive. *** On 07/16/2024 "Michael Ifrim" while performing the house inspection at "Heather Wallace" residence located at 1580 47TH AVE NE there was a blast conducted that day in the presence of "Michael Ifrim", "Heather Wallace" & a unrelated 3rd party A/C contractor were witness, present, and experienced that blast first hand. According to the statements by "Heather Wallace & the A/C contractor, "Michael Ifrim" stated that it felt like a "Freight Train" went through the house. On 11/20/2024 Dixon via phone spoke with RDA consultant "Joe DeCristofaro" and Dixon asked "Joe DeCristofaro" if he was aware of the comment that was made and he said yes that he was aware BUT this was not documented in the final report.

PAGE 37 of 41:

- Reemphasizing again DIXON residence location incorrect rendering the findings inaccurate and not valid.

- Vibra-Tech/GeoSonics states that their seismic studies were performed by blasting activities between the date range of 04/12/2023-10/01/2024. This is inaccurate! There were numerous additional blast that took place during this timeframe including 09/14/2023 that was NOT documented or evaluated by Vibra-Tech/GeoSonics. *** APENDIX B (Summary of calculations TABLE B-1) clearly shows that ONLY two blast from the year 2023 (04/12/2023 & 04/24/2024) was even calculated. What happened to all the other 2023 blast? Why were ONLY two researched? WHY are we hiding other 2023 blast dates, especially the 09/14/2023 blast date? It clearly states by Vibra-Tech that the research being conducted is from the blast dates between 04/12/2023 through 10/01/2024?

- "damage could be attributed to natural age or other unrelated factors"? DIXON residence was built in 2020 only 3+ years old at the time of the 09/14/2023 blast. ***Hussman" residence was built in 2019 only 4+ years old at the time of the 09/14/2023 blast?

PAGE 39 of 41:

- "Conclusion" by RDA Consulting (project #RDA240129) states "It is important to note that these homes have been subject to years of wear and tear"??? Two of these homes are practically new being built in 2019 & 2020.

PAGE 40 of 41:

- again, "The observed conditions are more appropriately attributed to the age of the structures and prolonged exposure to environmental elements" 3 to 4 year old homes??

APENDIX A:

- Letter head dated 12/30/2024 from Vibra-Tech to RDA consulting "Ronny De Aza"

- PAGE 1 of the Apendix A states that the SR 846 Land mine submitted seismic results to Vibra-Tach blasting results for date range 04/12/2023 through 10/01/2024. All blast results between that date range was NOT submitted! Multiple additional blast occurred during that timeframe which are all on record by multiple regulating agencies. Again, WHY are we excluding most of the 2023 blast? WHAT are we hiding?

- PAGE 8 of the Appendix A states: "There were 18 blast detonated during this time period" THIS IS FALSE!! There were numerous additional blast during this date range.

- PAGE 9 of the Appendix A states: At the DIXON residence (Formulas & Equations) utilized by RDA/Vibra-Tech to investigation and calculate their findings are all based off incorrect information which makes all the findings invalid and inaccurate.

- PAGE 10 & 11 of the Appendix A Only a three equations with three separate dates 01/16/2024, 08/23/2024, & 05/02/2024 was utilized? NO dates from 2023 (especially the 09/14/2023 results)? HOW were these dates picked? WAS it because these were the best three dates to cherry pick to get the results you wanted? I feel its a very fare question considering. I feel ALL these are fair questions!

- PAGE 12 of the Appendix A "Conclusions"

HOW can you justify your conclusions when

1. Everything that was done was based off wrong locations?

2. It clearly stated that their is cracks/damage throughout your report BUT now you state "alleged" damages/conditions

3.It's clear that this entire investigation was NOT done correctly. Stating that ALL the blasting activities during the time frame of 04/12/2023 through 10/01/2024 was evaluated this is completely false without any doubt.

4. How can you determine a conclusion when you didn't even examine all the evidence that is clearly stated you did throughout the report.

This report contains a multitude of incorrect information, misinformation, incomplete information, and pertinent information that is not being provided or documented in this very critical report. Donald Schrotenboer, You made it clear that this entire investigation would be done fairly and non bias (which is not what happened here) .You stated that all the information would be provided to all the parties involved so that we can get a true accurate findings so we can ALL have a definitive answer. I've explained and shown throughout this email that what you have promised has not happened. I have a questions and you requested and stated you are available for answers. Thank you.

Subject: Re: RDA Consulting/Vibra-Tech/SR 846 Land Mine Structural/Seismic Report (Dixon Residence)

Hello Donald Schrotenboer,

Please help me in understanding on how a professional opinion can be given when all the information that their forming their professional opinion on is coming from inaccurate and incomplete information? Why would you and the land owner of the SR 846 Land Mine except such an opinion knowing that the report doesn't have any validity? On 02/01/2024 at the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPS) meeting, the SR 846 Land Mine representatives made the statement to the CCPS board very clear on record that there's nothing that the SR 846 Land Mine is doing that would cause ANY damage to ANY structures NOT even a crack in stucco. One would think that if the SR 846 Land Mine was so confident with that statement then the SR 846 Land Mine would definitely make every effort to validate it and insist on this report to be accurate, factual, and complete so the statement made by the SR 846 Land Mine made can finally be validated by fact NOT opinion. Now the SR 846 Land Mine just wants to conclude with no real findings?

This final report took 8 months to complete and as I already pointed out there are numerous findings on this report that are inaccurate, not factual, and incomplete and in my opinion was done so by design. This report was suppose to be conducted by 3rd party, non affiliated, non bias companies which was clearly stated by the SR 846 Land Mine but was not. In my opinion, the SR 846 Land Mine is not being a good neighbor as they've stated they are and they do not have any real cares or concerns for their neighbors homes or well being. The SR 846 Land Mine only concern is and always has been is self preservation and their own personal interest make money at whatever cost! Thank you.

Respectively,

Robert Dixon

Mr. Dixon –

Thank you for your comments to the RDA Consulting Engineers Inspection Report dated February 4, 2025. For clarification, the landowner of the 846 Mine retained RDA Consulting Engineers to provide a Professional Opinion as to their findings of structural damage to nearby residence. RDA Consulting’s Professional Opinion was rendered as part of the report and concludes this assignment.

Again, thank you for your comments.

Regarding Survey

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:27:41 +0100

What are these forwarded emails?

These emails pertain to the structural engineer reports that were conducted on three houses. These structural engineer reports were conducted by two different companies, RDA Consulting & (Vibra-Tech aka GeoSonics, which by the way already represents the SR 846 Land Mine) by the direction of the SR 846 Land Mine Trust representative "Donald Schrotenboer".

PLEASE! Look at all these emails and all the responses specifically Dixon's email dated 02/05/2025 SUMMARY OF QUESTIONS: (Pertaining to the DIXON residence only) These questions are very valid and informative detailing numerous findings clearly showing that these two companies did not perform a fair and non bias accurate report as the SR 846 Land Mine stated numerous times that they would be. In fact it clearly shows in their own words and findings, that it's completely inaccurate, misrepresented, and lots of information was left out. WHY, this specific chain of emails is so important? On 02/01/2024 at the CCPS meeting the SR 846 Land Mine Trust representatives "stated on record" that there's nothing their doing that would cause ANY damage to ANY structures NOT even stucco cracks! If this statement was in fact true then WHY wouldn't the SR 846 Land Mine insist on a valid factual report? This is their opportunity to finally prove that the SR 846 Land Mine is in fact not causing damage to surrounding homes!

PLEASE HELP US, the residents. We need our elected officials to represent "US" the Collier County Residents that call this place home and NOT the contractors that are driven only my money and greed! Thank you!

Mr. Dixon –

I am not going to debate the opinions you hold related to the RMD Consulting Engineers Report dated February 4, 2025 nor the merits of the Report other than the Report was conducted and the conclusion rendered in a professional and unbiased manner.

Blasts off 47th Ave NE

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:25:51 +0100

While most of us have been at work our house are rattling like an earthquake. Many of our neighbors may not even know or recognize the new cracks in the foundations but it is happening.

They are blasting very close to us and it is unnecessary. They are doing it to sell the dirt while destroying our homes.

Please file a complaint and show up at our future county meetings. If you have questions please contact

It’s imperative that the BCC/CCPC is fully aware of what’s really going on out here in reference to the SR 846 Land Mine Trust "Conditional Use" located at 16000 Immokalee Rd. (out by the fairgrounds). Please be proactive and really look over this entire chain of emails and information. Please you owe it to the residents and to yourselves. These attached chain of emails and information are critical for the BCC/CCPS to be aware of and will clearly show that the SR 846 Land Mine Trust is not providing factual information. Residents have already sustained damage to our homes and are continuing to sustain damage. Approving the SR 846 Land Mine Trust to blast any closer to our homes then what they’re already doing now WILL be a catastrophic mistake!! The BCC/CCPS has a duty to the residents to protect our homes and well being. The BCC/CCPS must insist and demand that they have factual information and evidence before considering making any decision to allow any further expansion of the SR 846 Land Mine Trust. For the BCC/CCPS to make any such decision without having factual information would clearly be reckless, irresponsible, and out right negligent to the 1000+ homes and residents that surround the SR 846 Land Mine Trust. This is just not a District 5 issue. This is a collective decision that’s going to be made by each and everyone of you BCC/CCPS that’s going to directly affect thousands of residents and our homes. Please go through this particular chain of emails and feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or any additional emails, correspondence, and documentation it’s all available. Thank you very much for your time and consideration with this very important issue.

Message to Neighbors near blasting site, please file a complaint with the state

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:29:47 +0100

It is important to document anytime you hear a blast that shakes the house. This post was from Robert Dixon. He said even though it appears to be a form form for Miami, it is not just for that area it is statewide.

This is the address to file a complaint with the state.

https://mineactivityclearinghouse.myfloridacfo.gov/

Each time you feel a blast go off file a complaint. We need to document that these blast are cracking out home foundations.
