About this file
This is an Environmental Management Permit issued by the City of Tallahassee Growth Management Department for the Old St. Augustine Sidewalk Improvements project located at 1457 Old St. Augustine Road in Leon County, Florida. Permit No. TEM240071 was issued on November 24, 2025, and expires on November 24, 2028. The project encompasses sidewalk and boardwalk construction with associated improvements including driveway work, regrading, and culvert extension along Old St. Augustine Road in two separate locations. The permit requires multiple pre-construction activities including a mandatory pre-construction conference (to be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance), submission of a Notice of Intent to Proceed (at least 24 hours before development activity begins), designation of a qualified Stormwater and Erosion & Sediment Control Officer, and approval of all required easements. Environmental Inspector James Payne (850-891-7167) oversees the project. The permit includes requirements for stormwater management, tree protection and removal, landscape compliance, and erosion and sediment control measures.
Special conditions require identification of a staging and stockpile area during the pre-construction conference, implementation of an arboricultural mitigation plan under a certified arborist's direction, and compliance with ADA accessibility standards for sidewalk slopes and ramp design. All tree roots greater than one-half inch in diameter must be clean-cut and hand-pruned with prompt backfilling. The applicant must submit all required right-of-way and temporary construction easements at the pre-construction meeting, including easements between stations 34+80 and 37+00. Final closeout requires submission of as-built drawings, compliance reports certified by the Engineer of Record, post-construction tree surveys, infiltration rate data, executed easement copies, and documentation of all stormwater facility modifications. The project must receive approval of the final environmental inspection prior to certificate of occupancy release.

To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Tallahassee pursuant to Chapter 556, Florida Statutes
(2003), the “Underground Facility Damage Prevention and Safety Act,” will continue to locate only the City’s utilities in response to a location request received from Sunshine State One-Call of Florida, Inc.
Specifically, this means that you, the excavator digging in the City’s right-of-way, are responsible for locating and avoiding all private utility laterals in that right-of-way. The City does not locate private lines or any utility lines belonging to any other member-operator, as Chapter
556, F.S. defines those entities. The location of private utility laterals is your responsibility.
Should your excavation efforts result in the cutting or breaking of any private utility lateral, you are responsible for repairing that lateral or reimbursing the private owner for any reasonable repair costs incurred in repairing any cut utility lines caused by your excavation efforts. In instances of clear fault, your failure to promptly address these matters may impact your later ability to secure a permit for future excavation in the City’s right-of-way.
The City of Tallahassee appreciates your efforts to use reasonable care in digging in the City’s right-of-way.
