About this file
This is a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) exemption verification letter dated July 7, 2026, issued to Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association, Inc. (FKEC) for the Vaca Cut Aerial Cable project located in Marathon, Monroe County, Florida. The project involves installation of 590 linear feet of 144-strand All Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cable overhead transmission line along the Vaca Cut Bridge, spanning between existing poles C5-1297 (milepost 5.077) and C5-1296 (milepost 5.180) at 11710 Overseas Highway. The cable installation will utilize industry-standard safe work practices and National Electric Safety Code guidelines, with fiber dispensed from a truck-mounted reel with friction brake assembly and handline securing to prevent contact with water or channel floor. The project includes cross-sections, profile views, and plan drawings showing the cable routing over Class III waters on sovereign submerged lands owned by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund.
The regulatory review verified that the activity qualifies for exemption under Chapter 62-330.051(14)(a), Florida Administrative Code, from needing a regulatory permit under Part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes. The proprietary review granted a Letter of Consent under Section 253.77, Florida Statutes, authorizing construction and use on specified sovereign submerged lands, contingent upon FKEC maintaining satisfactory evidence of sufficient upland interest and complying with special consent conditions including indemnification of the Board of Trustees and the State of Florida from all claims arising from the authorization or use of the structure. However, the federal review determined that the proposed activity does not qualify for Federal authorization pursuant to the State Programmatic General Permit, requiring FKEC to apply separately to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Jacksonville District) using Form ENG 4345 for a Section 10 Rivers and Harbor Act and Section 404 Clean Water Act permit before commencing work.

Re: File No.: 44-0470245-001-EE
File Name: FKEC Vaca Cut Aerial Cable
Dear Ms. Hamilton:
On March 26, 2026, we received your request for verification of exemption to install 590 linear feet of 144 strand ADSS fiber optic cable overhead transmission line along the Vaca Cut Bridge.
The project is located over the Vaca Cut, Class III Waters, adjacent to 11710 Overseas Highway, Marathon (Section 05, Township 66 South, Range 33 East), in Monroe County (Latitude N 24°
43' 50.5423", Longitude W 81° 1' 46.1457").
Your request has been reviewed to determine whether it qualifies for (1) regulatory exemption,
(2) proprietary authorization (related to state-owned submerged lands), and (3) federal approval that may be necessary for work in wetlands or waters of the United States.
Your project did not qualify for the federal authorization of this verification request. Additional authorization must be obtained prior to commencement of the proposed activity. This letter does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other federal, state, or local authorizations that may be required for the activity. Please refer to the specific section(s) dealing with that portion of the review below for advice on how to proceed.
If you change the project from what you submitted, the authorization(s) granted may no longer be valid at the time of commencement of the project. Please contact us prior to beginning your project if you wish to make any changes.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Amber Maier at the letterhead address or at Amber.Maier@FloridaDEP.gov.

Project No.: 44-0470245-001-EE
Project Name: FKEC Vaca Cut Aerial Cable
1. Regulatory Review – VERIFIED
Based on the information submitted, the Department has verified that the activity as proposed is exempt, under Chapter 62-330.051(14)(a), Florida Administrative Code, from the need to obtain a regulatory permit under Part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes.
This exemption verification is based on the information you provided the Department and the statutes and rules in effect when the information was submitted. This verification may not be valid if site conditions materially change, the project design is modified, or the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity are amended. In the event you need to re-verify the exempt status for the activity, a new request and verification fee will be required. Any substantial modifications to the project design should be submitted to the Department for review, as changes may result in a permit being required.
2. Proprietary Review- GRANTED
The Department acts as staff to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund
(Board of Trustees) and issues certain authorizations for the use of sovereign submerged lands.
The Department has the authority to review activities on sovereign submerged lands under
Chapters 253 and 258 of the Florida Statutes, and Chapters 18-20 and 18-21 of the Florida
Administrative Code.
The activity appears to be located on sovereign submerged lands owned by the Board of
Trustees. The activity is not exempt from the need to obtain the applicable proprietary authorization. As staff to the Board of Trustees, the Department has reviewed the activity described above, and has determined that the activity qualifies for a letter of consent under
Section 253.77, Florida Statutes, to construct and use the activity on the specified sovereign submerged lands, as long as the work performed is located within the boundaries as described herein and is consistent with the terms and conditions herein.
During the term of this Letter of Consent you shall maintain satisfactory evidence of sufficient upland interest as required by paragraph 18-21.004(3)(b), Florida Administrative Code. If such interest is terminated or the Board of Trustees determines that such interest did not exist on the date of issuance of this Letter of Consent, this Letter of Consent may be terminated by the Board of Trustees at its sole option. If the Board of Trustees terminates this Letter of Consent, you agree not to assert a claim or defense against the Board of Trustees arising out of this Letter of
Consent.
Special Consent Conditions
1. The applicant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Board of Trustees and the State of Florida from all claims, actions, lawsuits and demands in any form arising out of the authorization to use sovereignty submerged lands or the applicant’s use and construction of structures on sovereignty submerged lands. This duty to indemnify and hold harmless will include any and all liabilities that are associated with the structure or activity including special assessments or taxes that are now or in the future assessed against the structure or activity during the period of the authorization.
2. Failure by the Board of Trustees to enforce any violation of a provision of the authorization or waiver by the Board of Trustees of any provision of the authorization will not invalidate the provision not enforced or waived, nor will the failure to enforce or a waiver prevent the Board of Trustees from enforcing the unenforced or waived provision in the event of a violation of that provision.
3. Applicant binds itself and its successors and assigns to abide by the provisions and conditions set forth in the authorization. If the applicant or its successors or assigns fails or refuses to comply with the provisions and conditions of the authorization, the authorization may be terminated by the Board of Trustees after written notice to the applicant or its successors or assigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicant or its successors or assigns will have thirty (30) days in which to correct the violations. Failure to correct the violations within this period will result in the automatic revocation of this authorization.
4. All costs incurred by the Board of Trustees in enforcing the terms and conditions of the authorization will be paid by the applicant. Any notice required by law will be made by certified mail at the address shown on page one of the authorization. The applicant will notify the Board of Trustees in writing of any change of address at least ten days before the change becomes effective.
5. This authorization does not allow any activity prohibited in a conservation easement or restrictive covenant that prohibits the activity.
General Conditions for Authorizations for Activities

(b) Authorizations convey no title to sovereignty submerged land or water column, nor do they constitute recognition or acknowledgment of any other person’s title to such land or water.
(c) Authorizations may be modified, suspended or revoked in accordance with their terms or the remedies provided in Sections 253.04 and 258.46, F.S., or Chapter 18-14, F.A.C.
