Beulah_NWFWMD_Stormwater_Permit_Exemption.pdf

This is a Stormwater Permit Exemption document issued by the Northwest Florida Water Management District to Escambia County regarding the Beulah Road Improvements project. The District received the exemption application on December 17, 2025, and determined on January 9, 2026, that the project qualifies for an exemption under Florida Administrative Code Rule 62-330.051(4)(c), meaning no District permit is required for the proposed work. The exemption verification also constitutes an express waiver of water quality certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The project involves rehabilitation of 1.4 miles of Beulah Road including full-depth pavement asphalt, turn lane widening, shoulder addition, and ditch reconstruction, along with installation of five 60-inch pipes under Beulah Road for future landfill use. An alternate bid component includes rehabilitation of 0.5 miles of Beulah Road south of I-10 without widening or shoulder additions. Additionally, 0.25 miles of Kingsfield Road will be constructed with the Kingsfield Road and Beulah Road intersection converted to a merge lane.

The exemption verification applies solely to Northwest Florida Water Management District requirements and does not relieve Escambia County of permit requirements from other agencies. The related construction engineering, inspection, and project management services solicitation (CEI - Beulah Road Realignment) will be bid separately from the construction work itself, which will be solicited at a later date. Contact information for questions regarding the exemption has been provided through Brandy Parker at the District office. No pricing, funding sources, or contract term information is specified in the exemption document itself.
