SUBJECT: General Permit 224804-2

Dear Sir/Madam:

The District has received your notice to use a general permit. Based on the submitted information, the proposed activity qualifies for a General Environmental Resource Permit pursuant to section 62-330.474, Florida Administrative Code, provided it is constructed and operated in accordance with that general permit and the general and special conditions set forth in section 62-330.474, Florida Administrative Code (attached).

Please be advised that the St. Johns River Water Management District will not publish a notice in the newspaper advising the public that it has determined your project qualifies for this general permit. Newspaper publication, using the District’s notice form, notifies members of the public of their right to challenge the use of the general permit. If proper notice is given by newspaper publication, then there is a 21-day time limit for someone to file a petition for an administrative hearing to challenge the use of the permit. To close the point of entry for filing a petition, you may publish (at your own expense) a one-time notice of the District’s decision in a newspaper of general circulation within the affected area as defined in Section 50.11 of the Florida Statutes. If you do not publish a newspaper notice to close the point of entry, the time to challenge your use of the permit will not expire and someone could file a petition even after your project is constructed.

Please refer to the attached Notice of Rights to determine any legal rights you may have concerning the District’s agency action.

The proposed activity as outlined on your exemption determination does not qualify for federal authorization pursuant to the State Programmatic General Permit VI-R1 (SPGP VI-R1) Coordination Agreement, therefore a SEPARATE permit or authorization may be required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps).You may need to apply separately to the Corps using the appropriate federal application form. More information about the Corps permitting may be found online in the JacksonvilleDistrict. Failure to obtain Corps authorization prior to construction could subject you to federal enforcement action by that agency.

A copy of the notice form and a partial list of newspapers of general circulation are attached for your convenience. However, you are not limited to those listed newspapers. If you choose to close the point of entry and the notice is published, the newspaper will return to you an affidavit of publication. In that event, it is important that you either submit a scanned copy of the affidavit by emailing it to compliancesupport@sjrwmd.com (preferred method) or send a copy of the original affidavit to:

Margaret Daniels, Office Director Office of Records and Regulatory Support 4049 Reid Street Palatka, FL 32177

A copy of your application was transmitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for review. This authorization to use a general environmental resource permit does not obviate the need for obtaining all necessary permits or approval from other agencies.

Sincerely, Jeff Prather, Division Director Division of Regulatory Services

Any deviation from the specified activity and the conditions for undertaking that activity shall constitute a violation of the permit and may subject the permittee to enforcement action and revocation of the permit under Chapter 373, F.S.

2. The general permit does not eliminate the necessity to obtain any required federal, state, local and special district authorizations prior to the start of any construction, alteration, operation, maintenance, removal or abandonment authorized by this permit; and it does not authorize any violation of any other applicable federal, state, local, or special district laws (including, but not limited to, those governing the “take” of listed species).

3. The general permit does not convey to the permittee or create in the permittee any property right, or any interest in real property, nor does it authorize any entrance upon or activities on property which is not owned or controlled by the permittee, or convey any rights or privileges other than those specified in the general permit.

4. The general permit does not relieve the permittee from liability and penalties when the permitted activity causes harm or injury to: human health or welfare; animal, plant or aquatic life; or property. It does not allow the permittee to cause pollution that violates state water quality standards.

5. Section 253.77, F.S., provides that a person may not commence any excavation, construction, or other activity involving the use of state-owned or other lands of the state, the title to which is vested in the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund without obtaining the required consent, lease, easement, or other form of authorization authorizing the proposed use. Therefore, the permittee is responsible for obtaining any necessary authorizations from the Board of Trustees prior to commencing activity on state-owned lands.

6. The authorization to conduct activities under a general permit may be modified, suspended or revoked in accordance with Chapter 120, F.S., and Section 373.429, F.S.

Your Self-Certification is based solely on the information you provided under this process, and applies only to the statutes and rules in effect when your certification was completed. The certification is effective only for the specific project proposed, and only if the project is constructed, operated, and maintained in conformance with all the terms, conditions, and limitations stated in the Self-Certification Process. In addition, any substantial modifications in your plans should be submitted to the Department for review, as changes may result in a permit being required.

Completion of the Self-Certification constitutes your authorization for Department personnel to enter the property for purposes of inspecting for compliance.

This Self-Certification Process does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other permits or authorizations from other agencies (federal, state, Water Management District, county, or local) that may be required for the project. Failure to obtain all applicable authorizations prior to construction of the project may result in enforcement.

If you have any questions concerning this process, please contact Central District by e-mail at DEP_CD@FloridaDEP.gov.
