This document is an Individual Environmental Resource Permit issued by the Northwest Florida Water Management District for a roadway safety improvement project in Walton County. The permit (No. IND-131-298263-1) was issued on June 14, 2021, to Chance Powell of Walton County for the construction of a new surface water management system along County Road (C.R.) 395. The project involves reconstructing a 10-foot wide multi-use path from the northern side of the U.S. Highway 98 intersection to the northern terminus of the roadway, which will impact existing conveyance ditches and require their relocation to accommodate the new multi-use path.

The permit authorizes roadway safety improvements with specific environmental considerations, including 0.921 acres of direct wetland impacts and 0.692 acres of secondary wetland impacts. Mitigation will be accomplished through the purchase of 0.56 wet flatwoods/wet prairie credits from the Nokuse Plantation Mitigation Bank. The construction phase is set to expire on June 14, 2026, and the permittee must adhere to various environmental protection guidelines, including erosion control, water quality maintenance, and potential archaeological discovery protocols. The project will be conducted in accordance with plans prepared by Dewberry for the Walton County Board of County Commissioners.
