File No.: 0453753-001-EE/66, 0453753-002-EE/66 Walton County

Dear Ms. Hudson:

On October 2, 2024, we received your request for verification of exemption to perform the following activities:

To perform the milling and resurfacing of Mack Bayou Road from Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital to East Harborview Road, including the widening of the west side of the roadway by 2-ft and the modification of existing headwall extensions (Permit No. 0453753-001-EE/66). The roadway widening will incorporate the construction of an 8-ft wide multi-use trail for the first half of the project, the remaining length of the multi-use concrete path will run adjacent to the highway (Permit No. 453753-002-EE/66). The project is located within FDOT maintained rights-of-way along Driftwood Point Rd, W & E Shipwreck Rd, W & E Harborview Rd, and Mack Bayou Road in Mack Bayou, Class II Florida Waters, Mack Bayou Road/US Highway 98 W, Santa Rosa Beach, Section 24, Township 2 South, Range 21, Walton County.

Your request has been reviewed to determine whether it qualifies for (1) regulatory exemption,

(2) proprietary authorization (related to state-owned submerged lands), and (3) federal approval that may be necessary for work in wetlands or waters of the United States.

Your project did not qualify for the federal review of this verification request. Additional authorization may be required prior to commencement of the proposed activity. This letter does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other federal, state, or local authorizations that may be required for the activity. Please refer to the specific section(s) dealing with that portion of the review below for advice on how to proceed.

State water quality certification is waived for activities that are exempt under rule 62-330.051, F.A.C.

File Name: Mack Bayou Phase 1 FDEP File No.: 453753-001-002-EE/66

If you change the project from what you submitted, the authorization(s) granted may no longer be valid at the time of commencement of the project. Please contact us prior to beginning your project if you wish to make any changes.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Chris Bickham at the letterhead address or at 850-595-0607 and Chris.Bickham@FloridaDEP.gov.

1. Regulatory Review –Verified Based on the information submitted, the Department has verified that the activities as proposed are exempt, under Chapter 62-330.051(4)(c-d), Florida Administrative Code and Chapter 62- 330.051(10)(a-e), Florida Administrative Code from the need to obtain a regulatory permit under Part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes.

This exemption verification is based on the information you provided the Department and the statutes and rules in effect when the information was submitted. This verification may not be valid if site conditions materially change, the project design is modified, or the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity are amended. In the event you need to re-verify the exempt status for the activity, a new request and verification fee will be required. Any substantial modifications to the project design should be submitted to the Department for review, as changes may result in a permit being required.

While you are not required to publish notice of this action, you may elect to do so pursuant Rule 62- 110.106(10)(a).

Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C.

Although the bottom sediments within the forms may be removed by jetting or pumping, and may not be recoverable, erosion and sediment control best management practices, including turbidity curtains or similar devices, shall be used in accordance with the State of Florida Erosion and Sediment Control Designer and Reviewer Manual to prevent violations of state water quality standards.

2. Immediately following completion of any work that involves disturbance of the shoreline or banks of wetlands or other surface waters, the shoreline and banks shall be stabilized with native vegetation or riprap to prevent erosion; in areas where native wetland vegetation was disturbed, the stabilization shall consist of the same species planted in a manner to achieve stability and coverage of a similar wetland community as previously existed. Temporary erosion controls for all exposed soils within wetlands and other surface waters shall be completed within seven calendar days of the most recent construction activity.

7. The Permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structures or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the Permittee will be required, upon due notice from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal, relocation or alteration.
