This document is a pre-authorization letter from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) issued to the City of Sebastian on March 19, 2024, concerning Disaster Debris Management Sites (DDMS) for 2024. The letter details pre-authorization for four specific sites located in Sebastian, Florida, including the City of Sebastian Corporate Park Drive, Airport North, Airport Northeast, and Airport East locations. These sites are approved for managing various types of waste, including construction & demolition debris, yard trash, and mixed disaster debris generated by hurricanes, storms, and other disaster events.

The pre-authorization includes specific operational conditions that must be followed, such as notifying the Department when sites are opened and closed, controlling access to prevent unauthorized dumping, using spotters to identify and segregate waste types, and removing putrescible waste within 48 hours. The document provides contact information for Jeffrey Sabo as the on-site contact and Naquita Dandrade as the DEP/Local Program Contact. The authorization allows the city to establish temporary debris management sites in the event of a major storm or disaster, subject to compliance with specified guidelines and potential enforcement actions for non-compliance. A guidance document with recommended practices is referenced and available on the FDEP website, with the caveat that this guidance does not substitute for federal requirements from FEMA.
