SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT JURISDICTION

Authorization for the proposed activity may be required from the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) as the site is located within an area that was issued under an Environmental Resource Permit. For additional information please contact Al Gagne at

(813) 985-7481 ext. 4352.

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR MINOR WORK PERMIT

1. Please be advised Hillsborough County Building and Construction Services Department may require a separate Permit. Please call (813) -272-5600 for further information. Similarly, be advised that the proposed activity may require a building Permit from the City of Tampa.

Please call (813) 274-3100 for further information on the permitting process. Similarly, if located within the City of Plant City or Temple Terrace please contact their respective permitting departments for additional information. If the plans approved by this Permit change as a result of any of the municipality’s review, a revision to this Permit will be required.

2. Although not addressed by this agency, more stringent criteria than those detailed in this Permit may be applicable pursuant to deed restrictions. If the Permittee is part of a homeowners association, it is strongly encouraged that representatives of the homeowners association be contacted for more information prior to initiation of any construction activities authorized by this Permit. This Permit does not relieve the Permittee from the requirements of any applicable deed restrictions.

3. The Permittee must comply with the following manatee protection construction conditions:

a. Instruct all personnel associated with the project of the potential presence of manatees and the need to avoid collisions with manatees. All construction personnel are responsible for observing water-related activities for the presence of manatee(s).

b. Advise all construction personnel that there are civil and criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing manatees which are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection act of 1972, The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), and the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act.

c. Ensure all/any siltation barriers shall be made of material in which manatees cannot become entangled, are properly secured, and are regularly monitored to avoid manatee entrapment.

Barriers must not block manatee entry to or exit from essential habitat.

d. Ensure all vessels associated with the construction project shall operate at "no wake/idle" speeds at all times while in the construction area and while in water where the draft of the vessel provides less than a four-foot clearance from the bottom. All vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever possible.

e. If manatee(s) are seen within 100 yards of the active daily construction/dredging operation or vessel movement, ensure all appropriate precautions shall be implemented to ensure protection of the manatee. These precautions shall include the operation of all moving equipment no closer than 50 feet of a manatee. Operation of any equipment closer than 50 feet to a manatee shall necessitate immediate shut down of that equipment. Activities will not resume until the manatee(s) has departed the project area of its own volition.

f. Ensure any collision with and/or injury to a manatee shall be reported immediately to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at FWC Hotline at 1-888-404-FWCC and to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Jacksonville Office (1-904-232-2580) for north Florida or the Vero Beach Office (1-772-562-3909) for south Florida.

g. Ensure temporary signs concerning manatees shall be posted prior to and during all construction/dredging activities. Ensure all signs are removed upon completion of the project. A sign measuring at least 3 ft. by 4 ft. which reads “Caution: Manatee Area” will be posted in a location prominently visible to water-related construction crews. A second sign shall be posted if vessels are associated with the construction, and shall be placed visible to the vessel operator. The second sign shall be at least 8.5" by 11" which reads “Caution:

Manatee Habitat.” Idle speed is required if operating a vessel in the construction area.

4. All efforts must be undertaken to prevent any erosion or turbid water from being discharged offsite into wetlands and/or waters of the County. Turbid discharges that exceed 29 NTU's (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) above background levels are a violation pursuant to Chapter 1- 5, Rules of the EPC (Water Quality Standards). The erosion or discharge of sediments into wetlands is a violation of Chapter 1-11, Rules of the EPC (Wetlands). Silt screens, floating turbidity curtains or other methods of erosion/turbidity control may be required. It is the responsibility of the owner/developer to insure the installation of adequate erosion control barriers prior to the commencement of any site work. These erosion control devices must be maintained in good condition throughout the construction process and until all loose soils have stabilized. Once the water quality has returned to sustainable background levels and/or all areas of exposed soils have been stabilized, all control methods must be removed. It is strongly recommended that all erosion control devices be regularly inspected during construction and modified if conditions warrant.

5. If the approved Permit drawings and the attached conditions contradict each other, then the Specific Conditions shall prevail.

6. The proposed work shall be done in accordance with the approved drawings which are attached and incorporated as exhibits.

7. The Permittee grants access to the property so that EPC can inspect the site to ensure compliance with the Permit.

8. The proposed work shall be done so as to prevent interference with the riparian or property rights of the adjacent property owners. This Permit authorizes no trespass or invasion of private property.

9. This 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 this Permit and Chapter 1-11 or other applicable rules.

10. This approval applies only to the development proposal as submitted, and in no way does it provide EPC approval to any other aspect of the review process. This Permit does not relieve the Permittee from the requirement of obtaining permits from other applicable federal, state, and local agencies, as required.

11. The Permittee, in accepting this Permit, agree to comply with the provisions and conditions herein and assumes all responsibilities and liability and agrees to hold the EPC and the Tampa Port Authority harmless from any and all claims of damage arising out of operations conducted pursuant to this Permit.

12. The Permittee shall operate and maintain the authorized structure in such a manner so as to prevent the creation of any navigation hazards, unauthorized source of air or water pollution, hazard to public health and safety, or so as to unduly interfere with the public's use of the waterway.

13. The EPC reserves the right to revoke this Permit upon written notice to the Permittee in accordance with Section 1-2.052, Rules of the EPC.

14. Construction materials, debris, or other trash will not be allowed to escape into the water, at any time during or after construction. Such materials are to be disposed of in an approved manner, i.e., upland disposal facility, appropriate trash receptacles, etc.

15. It shall be the responsibility of the Permittee to submit a renewal application request 30 days prior to the expiration date.

16. Any activity interfering with the integrity of a wetland, such as clearing, excavating, draining or filling, without the written authorization from the Executive Director of the EPC or an authorized agent, pursuant to Section 1-11.07, Rules of the EPC, would be a violation of Section 17 of the Environmental Protection Act of Hillsborough County, Chapter 84-446, and Chapter 1- 11, Rules of the EPC.
