File No. 0426730-001-SFG, Hillsborough County

Dear Ms. Gonzalez:

On September 21, 2022, we received your notice of intent to use a General Permit (GP), pursuant to

Rule 62- 331.217, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), to permanently fill approximately 0.03 acre of blackwater stream, with approximately 0.05 acre of temporary impacts to blackwater streams, associated with the placement of 1,410 square-feet of rubble riprap for the purpose of bank stabilization and the replacement of three 60-inch corrugated metal pipe culverts with three 60-inch reinforced concrete pipe culverts of equivalent length to maintain hydrologic flow under the existing roadway, within Pelleham

Branch, a Class III Florida waterbody. The activities authorized by this permit are located below

Lenwood Lane, west of Entrance Way and east of Dagwood Way, Riverview, Florida 33579, in Section

3, Township 31 south, Range 20 east in Hillsborough County, at latitude 27.81101, longitude

-82.287345.

Impacts to approximately 0.03 acres of floodplain forest have been reviewed and are considered permanent in nature. Permanent impacts authorized by this permit will result in approximately 0.01 acre of functional loss to floodplain marsh and are considered to have minimal or insignificant individual or cumulative adverse impacts on the water resources of the basin, therefore no mitigation is required for these permanent impacts.

Your intent to use a general permit has been reviewed by Department staff for State 404 Program authorization. Your project qualifies for authorization. However, this letter does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other federal, state, or local authorizations that may be required for the activity.

State 404 Program Review – Approved

Based on the forms, drawings, and documents submitted with your notice, it appears that the project meets the requirements for the General Permit under Rule 62-331.217, F.A.C. Any activities performed under a general permit are subject to general conditions required in Rule 62-331.201, F.A.C., the conditions of Rule 62-331.217, F.A.C. (attached), and any specific conditions, below. Any deviations http://www.floridadep.gov/ mailto:Gonzalezsa@hillsboroughcounty.org

File Name: Lenwood Lane Culvert Replace

File No: 0426730-001-SFG from these conditions may subject the permittee to enforcement action and possible penalties. Please read each section carefully.

Conditions for General Permits – Rule 62-331.201, F.A.C.

(1) General permits shall be subject to the conditions in subsections (2) and (3), below, and the general conditions for all general permits in Rule 62-330.405, F.A.C., except subsections 62-

330.405(7) and (10), F.A.C. The Agency may revise the general conditions in Rule 62-330.405, F.A.C. to include references to applicable rules under this Chapter, as necessary.

(2) When a project requires submittal of a notice of intent to use a general permit, the Agency shall impose specific conditions as necessary to assure that the activities will be conducted in compliance with this Chapter, and in a manner which minimizes adverse impacts upon the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of wetlands or other surface waters, such as mitigation, monitoring, reporting, or recordkeeping requirements and protection measures for listed species or historical resources.

(3) In addition, general permits under this Chapter are subject to the following conditions:

(a) Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life cycle movements of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that normally migrate through the area, unless the activity’s primary purpose is to impound water. All permanent and temporary crossings of waterbodies shall be suitably culverted, bridged, or otherwise designed and constructed to maintain low flows to sustain the movement of those aquatic species. If a bottomless culvert cannot be used, then the crossing shall be designed and constructed to minimize adverse effects to aquatic life movements.

(b) Spawning Areas. Activities in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruction (e.g., through excavation, fill, or downstream smothering by substantial turbidity) of an important spawning area are not authorized.

(c) Migratory Bird Breeding Areas. Activities in state-assumed waters that serve as breeding areas for migratory birds must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.

(d) Shellfish Beds. No activity may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish populations, unless the activity is directly related to a shellfish harvesting activity authorized by general permits in

Rule 62-331.211 or 62-331.244, F.A.C., or is a shellfish seeding or habitat restoration activity authorized by the general permit in Rule 62-331.225, F.A.C.

(e) Suitable Material. No activity may use unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.). Material used for construction or fill must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts as listed in section 307 of the CWA, which is incorporated by reference in subparagraph 62-331.053(3)(a)3., F.A.C., or state law.

(f) Water Supply Intakes. No activity may occur within 1000 feet of a public water supply intake, except where the activity is for the repair or improvement of public water supply intake structures or adjacent bank stabilization.

(g) Fills Within 100-year Floodplains. The activity shall comply with applicable FEMA-approved state or local floodplain management requirements.

(h) Single and Complete Project. The activity must be a single and complete project. The same general permit cannot be used more than once for the same single and complete project unless otherwise stated within the general permit. (See 404 Handbook, section 3.2.1).

(i) Wild and Scenic Rivers. No general permit activity may occur in a component of the

National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a study river for possible inclusion in the System while the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate federal agency with direct management responsibility for such river has determined in writing that the proposed activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic

River designation or study status.

(j) Tribal Rights. No general permit activity may cause more than minimal adverse effects on tribal rights (including treaty rights, settlement rights, or rights reserved under state or federal law), protected tribal resources (including cultural or burial resources off reservation), tribal waters, or to tribal lands.

(k) Listed species. No activity is authorized under any general permit which is likely to directly or indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of an endangered or threatened species or a species proposed for such designation, or which will directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. No activity is authorized under any general permit which may affect a listed species or critical habitat, unless the Agency has consulted with, or been provided technical assistance by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the National Marine Fisheries Service under their respective authorities and appropriate measures to address the effects of the proposed activity have been implemented or are required as a specific condition to the general permit.

331.100(2), F.A.C., within 30 days of the sale, to the Agency that processed the original notice.

(r) Compliance Certification. Each permittee who receives a general permit verification letter under this Chapter must submit a completed Form 62-331.200(1) – “Certification of

Compliance with a State 404 Program General Permit” (effective date), incorporated by reference in subsection 62-331.200(4), F.A.C., within 30 days of completion of the authorized activity, or the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation, whichever is later.

(s) Activities Affecting Structures or Work Built by the United States. If an activity also requires permission from the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 408 because it will alter or temporarily or permanently occupy or use a Corps federally authorized Civil Works project, the prospective permittee is responsible for obtaining such permission separately from the Corps prior to commencing activities authorized by the general permit.

(t) If during the ground disturbing activities and construction work within the permit area, there are archaeological or cultural materials encountered which were not the subject of a previous cultural resources assessment survey or to which such impacts were not anticipated, including but not limited to pottery, modified shell, flora, fauna, human remains, ceramics, stone tools or metal implements, dugout canoes, evidence of structures or any other physical remains that could be associated with Native American cultures or early colonial or American settlement; the

Permittee shall immediately stop all work and ground-disturbing activities within a 100-meter diameter of the discovery and notify the Agency within the same business day. The Agency shall then notify the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the appropriate Tribal

Historic Preservation Officer(s) (THPO(s)) or tribe when the interested tribe does not have a

THPO, to assess the significance of the discovery and devise appropriate actions.

(u) Additional cultural resources assessments may be required of the permit area in the case of unanticipated discoveries or effects to historic properties as referenced in accordance with condition (t), above, and if deemed necessary by the SHPO, or THPO(s), Tribes, or Agency.

Based on the circumstances of the discovery, equity to all parties, and considerations of the public interest, the Agency may modify, suspend, or revoke the permit in accordance with Rule

62-331.080, F.A.C. Such activity shall not resume without written authorization from the SHPO and THPO(s), or tribe when the interested tribe does not have a THPO, concerning potential effects to cultural resources or historic properties for finds under their jurisdiction, and from the

Agency.

(v) In the event that unmarked human remains are identified, they shall be treated in accordance with Section 872.05, F.S. All work and ground-disturbing activities within a 100-meter diameter of the unmarked human remains shall immediately cease and the Permittee shall immediately notify the medical examiner, Agency, and State Archaeologist within the same business day.

The Agency shall then notify the appropriate SHPO and THPO(s) and appropriate tribes and other appropriate consulting parties. Based on the circumstances of the discovery, equity to all parties, and considerations of the public interest, the Agency may modify, suspend, or revoke the permit in accordance with Rule 62-331.080, F.A.C. Such activity shall not resume without written authorization from the medical examiner, State Archaeologist, and from the Agency.

Additionally, if the unmarked remains were identified on federal lands, or lands where the

Archaeological Resources Protection Act, 16 U.S.C. §§ 470aa – 470mm (2018), incorporated by reference herein (https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-12072), or the

Native American Graves Protection Repatriation 25 U.S.C. §§ 3001-3013 (2018), incorporated by reference herein (https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-12073), applies, such activity shall not resume without written authorization from the SHPO, the appropriate

THPO(s), and the federal land manager.

(w) Noncompliance. The permittee shall timely notify the Agency of any expected or known actual noncompliance.

(x) Inspection and entry. The permittee shall allow the Agency, upon presentation of proper identification, at reasonable times to:

1. Enter upon the permittee's premises where a regulated activity is located or where records must be kept under the conditions of the permit,

2. Have access to and copy any records that must be kept under the conditions of the permit,

3. Inspect operations regulated or required under the permit, and

4. Sample or monitor, for the purposes of assuring permit compliance or as otherwise authorized by the Act, any substances or parameters at any location.

(y) The permittee shall comply with all conditions of the permit, even if that requires halting or reducing the permitted activity to maintain compliance. Any permit violation constitutes a violation of Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and this Chapter, as well as a violation of the CWA.

(z) The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to prevent any unauthorized dredging or filling in violation of this permit.

(aa) Upon Agency request, the permittee shall provide information necessary to determine compliance status, or whether cause exists for permit modification, revocation, or termination.

62-330.405 General Conditions for All General Permits.

The following general permit conditions are binding upon the permittee and are enforceable under chapter 373, F.S. These conditions do not apply to the general permit for stormwater management systems under section 403.814(12), F.S

(1) The general permit is valid only for the specific activity indicated. Any deviation from the specified activity and the conditions for undertaking that activity shall constitute a violation of the permit and may subject the permittee to enforcement action and revocation of the permit under chapter 373, F.S

(2) The general permit does not eliminate the necessity to obtain any required federal, state, local and special district authorizations prior to the start of any construction, alteration, operation, maintenance, removal or abandonment authorized by this permit; and it does not authorize any violation of any other applicable federal, state, local, or special district laws (including, but not limited to, those governing the “take” of listed species).

(3) The general permit does not convey to the permittee or create in the permittee any property right, or any interest in real property, nor does it authorize any entrance upon or activities on property which is not owned or controlled by the permittee, or convey any rights or privileges other than those specified in the general permit.

(4) The general permit does not relieve the permittee from liability and penalties when the permitted activity causes harm or injury to: human health or welfare; animal, plant or aquatic life;

or property. It does not allow the permittee to cause pollution that violates state water quality standards.

(5) Section 253.77, F.S., provides that a person may not commence any excavation, construction, or other activity involving the use of state-owned or other lands of the state, the title to which is vested in the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund without obtaining the required consent, lease, easement, or other form of authorization authorizing the proposed use.

Therefore, the permittee is responsible for obtaining any necessary authorizations from the Board of Trustees prior to commencing activity on state-owned lands.

(6) The authorization to conduct activities under a general permit may be modified, suspended or revoked in accordance with chapter 120, F.S., and section 373.429, F.S.

(7) Not applicable.

(8) Upon reasonable notice to the permittee, Agency staff with proper identification shall have permission to enter, inspect, sample and test the permitted system to ensure conformity with the plans and specifications approved by the general permit.

(9) The permittee shall maintain any permitted project or activity in accordance with the plans submitted to the Agency and authorized in the general permit.

(10) Not applicable.

(11) Activities shall be conducted in a manner that does not cause or contribute to violations of state water quality standards. Performance-based erosion and sediment control best management practices shall be implemented and maintained immediately prior to, during, and after construction as needed to stabilize all disturbed areas, including other measures specified in the permit to prevent adverse impacts to the water resources and adjacent lands. Erosion and sediment control measures shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the State of Florida Erosion and Sediment Control Designer and Reviewer Manual (Florida Department of Environmental

Protection and Florida Department of Transportation, June 2007), available at https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-04227, and the Florida Stormwater

(12) Unless otherwise specified in the general permit, temporary vehicular access within wetlands during construction shall be performed using vehicles generating minimum ground pressure to minimize rutting and other environmental impacts. Within forested wetlands, the permittee shall choose alignments that minimize the destruction of mature wetland trees to the greatest extent practicable. When needed to prevent rutting or soil compaction, access vehicles shall be operated on wooden, composite, metal, or other non-earthen construction mats. In all cases, access in wetlands shall comply with the following:

(a) Access within forested wetlands shall not include the cutting or clearing of any native wetland tree having a diameter four inches or greater at breast height;

(b) The maximum width of the construction access area shall be limited to 15 feet;

(c) All mats shall be removed as soon as practicable after equipment has completed passage through, or work has been completed, at any location along the alignment of the project, but in no case longer than seven days after equipment has completed work or passage through that location; and

(d) Areas disturbed for access shall be restored to natural grades immediately after the maintenance or repair is completed.

(13) Barges or other work vessels used to conduct in-water activities shall be operated in a manner that prevents unauthorized dredging, water quality violations, and damage to submerged aquatic communities.

(14) The construction, alteration, or use of the authorized project shall not adversely impede navigation or create a navigational hazard in the water body.

(15) Except where specifically authorized in the general permit, activities must not:

(a) Impound or obstruct existing water flow, cause adverse impacts to existing surface water storage and conveyance capabilities, or otherwise cause adverse water quantity or flooding impacts to receiving water and adjacent lands; or

(b) Cause an adverse impact to the maintenance of surface or ground water levels or surface water flows established pursuant to section 373.042, F.S., or a Works of the District established pursuant to section 373.086, F.S.

(16) If prehistoric or historic artifacts, such as pottery or ceramics, projectile points, stone tools, dugout canoes, metal implements, historic building materials, or any other physical remains that could be associated with Native American, early European, or American settlement are encountered at any time within the project site area, the permitted project shall cease all activities involving subsurface disturbance in the vicinity of the discovery. The permittee or other designee shall contact the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, Compliance

Review Section (DHR), at (850)245-6333, as well as the appropriate permitting agency office.

Project activities shall not resume without verbal or written authorization from the Division of

Historical Resources. If unmarked human remains are encountered, all work shall stop immediately and the proper authorities notified in accordance with section 872.05, F.S.

(17) The activity must be capable, based on generally accepted engineering and scientific principles, of being performed and of functioning as proposed, and must comply with any applicable District special basin and geographic area criteria.

(18) The permittee shall comply with the following when performing work within waters accessible to federally- or state-listed aquatic species, such as manatees, marine turtles, smalltooth sawfish, and Gulf sturgeon:

(a) All vessels associated with the project shall operate at “Idle Speed/No Wake” at all times while in the work area and where the draft of the vessels provides less than a four-foot clearance from the bottom. All vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever possible.

(b) All deployed siltation or turbidity barriers shall be properly secured, monitored, and maintained to prevent entanglement or entrapment of listed species.

(c) All in-water activities, including vessel operation, must be shut down if a listed species comes within 50 feet of the work area. Activities shall not resume until the animal(s) has moved beyond a 50-foot radius of the in-water work, or until 30 minutes elapses since the last sighting within 50 feet. Animals must not be herded away or harassed into leaving. All onsite project personnel are responsible for observing water-related activities for the presence of listed species.

(d) Any listed species that is killed or injured by work associated with activities performed shall be reported immediately to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC)

Hotline at 1(888)404-3922 and ImperiledSpecies@myFWC.com.

(e) Whenever there is a spill or frac-out of drilling fluid into waters accessible to the above species during a directional drilling operation, the FWC shall be notified at

ImperiledSpecies@myfwc.com with details of the event within 24 hours following detection of the spill or frac-out.

(19) The permittee shall hold and save the Agency harmless from any and all damages, claims, or liabilities which may arise by reason of the construction, alteration, operation, maintenance, removal, abandonment or use of any activity authorized by the general permit.
