Attachment 1
Summary of DEP and WMD Permitting Responsibilities
The Department of Environmental Protection ("Department" or "DEP") is responsible for issuing (or
denying) permits for some types of activities. The Water Management Districts ("WMDs") issue (or
deny) the remaining types. You must submit your permit application to the agency which is responsible
for permitting your proposed activities. This summary covers typical cases; applicants with non-typical
situations or who need further clarification should contact the nearest DEP or WMD office.
THE DEP is responsible for reviewing and taking agency action on the following activities (including
compliance and enforcement):

Systems serving or consisting of up to three contiguous parcels of land under single ownership,
where each parcel contains or is proposed to contain only one single-family dwelling unit, duplex,
triplex, or quadruplex (dwelling unit), except where the dwelling unit is only an incidental part of
a parcel that is otherwise used for agricultural activities for which a permit under Part IV of
Chapter 373, F.S., has been issued or is required, or where the dwelling unit is located within the
Wekiva River Protection Area described in Section 369.301(9), F.S. The term "system" means a
stormwater management system, dam, impoundment, reservoir, appurtenant work or works, or
any combination thereof, including dredged or filled areas. This term includes the construction of
docks, seawalls, structures, and all other types of dredging or filling in surface waters and
wetlands.

Projects that also need a waste treatment or management permit from DEP:
- Solid waste (except certain activities that qualify for general permits)
- Hazardous waste (except where the storage of hazardous waste is an incidental part of the
facility)
- Domestic or industrial wastewater, including facilities and activities located at the domestic
or industrial wastewater treatment facility; all reuse site permitted under Parts II or IV of
Chapter 62-610; land application sites permitted under Part VI of Chapter 62-610; and
wetlands crated using reclaimed water. However, the WMD is responsible for the review and
agency action on applications for:
 Water reuse sites permitted under Part III of Chapter 62-610, F.A.C.;
 Activities involving the application of reclaimed water to rehydrate wetlands or to
provide artificial recharge to reduce or mitigate drawdowns from well withdrawal;
 Facilities subject to requirements of WMD rules through a system or activity that is not
fully contained on the domestic or industrial wastewater site, but which is part of a larger
project for which the WMD has permitting responsibility;
 Facilities that qualify for general permits under Rules 62-660.801, 62-660.802, 62660.803, or 62-660.805, or 62-621.300(2), F.A.C.;
 Facilities in which the industrial wastewater component is merely a heating, ventilation
or air conditioning cooling tower discharge, or other industrial wastewater treatment
facility which is merely an incidental component of a project for which the WMD has
permitting responsibility.
- Potable water facilities, including drinking water treatment plants and distribution mains,
except for distribution lines fully contained within systems for which the WMD has
permitting responsibility


All mining projects, excluding mines (borrow pits) for sand, shell, or clay that do not involve
processing other than use of a scalping screen to remove large rocks, wood, and debris.

Power plants and electrical distribution and transmission lines, including associated facilities
related to the production, transmission, and distribution of electricity, except for electrical
distribution lines fully contained within a larger plan of development for which the WMD has
permitting responsibility.

Communication cables and lines except for communication cables and lines fully contained
within a larger plan of development for which the WMD has permitting responsibility.

Natural gas or petroleum exploration activities and facilities, and product pipelines, except for
natural gas distribution lines fully contained within a larger plan of development for which the
WMD has permitting responsibility.

Docking facilities, boardwalks, shore protection structures, and piers, including adjacent dockingand boating related development and associated navigational dredging, except where the docking
facility and associated navigational dredging is part of a larger plan of other commercial or
residential development that has received or requires a permit under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S.
The term "adjacent docking-related development" includes parking areas for the docking facility,
dry storage facilities, boat sales and supply facilities, maintenance and repair facilities, associated
seafood loading and processing facilities, restaurants, and harbor master and marina
administration facilities; residential development and other commercial development are not
considered docking or boating related. The WMD will review and act on applications for
docking facilities, boardwalks, shore protection, or piers serving a dwelling unit associated with
an activity for which the WMD has permitting responsibility.

Activities proposed in whole or in part seaward of the coastal construction control line.

Navigational dredging conducted by governmental entities except where associated with a larger
project for which the WMD has permitting responsibility.

Seaports and adjacent seaport-related development where the applicant or property owner is a
port authority.

Modification of permits issued by the DEP. If the permit has been modified, the agency that
issued the last modification to the permit shall process the modification. Modifications to
Management and Storage of Surface Waters (MSSW) Permits shall be processed by the
appropriate Water Management District, except that the Department shall process modifications
of MSSW permits for solid waste facilities, mining projects, and seaports and seaport-related
development.

All applications for wetland resource permits within the territory of the Northwest Florida Water
Management District.
THE SOUTH FLORIDA, SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, ST. JOHNS RIVER, AND SUWANNEE RIVER
WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS are responsible for reviewing and taking agency action
(including compliance and enforcement) on all Environmental Resource Permit applications that are not
the responsibility of the DEP.

Attachment 2
Summary of Exemptions, Noticed General Permits, and Other Types of Permits
The following is a list of exemptions and noticed general permits that may apply to your project, as well
as a summary of the types of individually-processed permits. These lists are only a brief summary of the
various exemptions or permit types and do not contain all of the requirements for each exemption or
permit. Applicants unfamiliar with the details of all the requirements which apply to the various
exemptions or permit types, or uncertain of how the conditions would apply to a specific situation, should
review Chapter 62-343, F.A.C., and the rules of the water management district applicable to the location
of the activity. Applicants are further encouraged to discuss their project with staff of the appropriate
reviewing agency before submitting an application.
EXEMPTIONS
Before conducting an activity, you should first carefully review the actual language of the exemptions
contained in the following Florida Statutes and rules of the DEP and water management district to
determine if the activity may qualify for an exemption:
Statute/Rule1
Where
Statewide
Sections 373.406 and 403.813(1), F.S.
Within the Suwannee River Water Management District
40B-4.1070 and 40B-400.051, F.A.C.
Within the St. Johns River Water Management District
40C-4.051, F.A.C.
Within the Southwest Florida Water Management District
40D-4.051, F.A.C.
Within the South Florida Water Management District
40E-4.051, F.A.C.
You do not need to apply for a permit for these activities, and most do not require you to submit a notice
to request verification of qualification for the exemption. However, many local governments will want to
see such verification before they will issue a local authorization, and some exemptions [such as certain
maintenance dredging in Section 403.813(1)(f), F.S., dirt road paving by local governments in Section
403.813(1)(t), F.S., and organic detrital removal in Section 403.813(1)(u), F.S., does require notice of
intent to use an exemption to be provided to the DEP). In such cases, the DEP has adopted Form 62343.900(11) to facilitate requesting verification of qualification to use an exemption. The DEP also has
an Internet-based Self Certification (Enterprise Self-Service Application) for certain exemptions, which
may be accessed at: http://www.fldepportal.com/go/. If you are uncertain if your specific project meets
the conditions for an exemption, contact the agency with jurisdiction in the location where the activity is
proposed.

Differences Between “Proprietary” and “Regulatory” Programs
The following summarizes the proprietary and regulatory functions of the Department of Environmental
Protection’s (DEP's) Submerged Lands and Environmental Resources program.
The word “regulatory” refers to a type of authority that allows an entity of the government, such as DEP, to
limit certain activities on private property, as well as on publicly-owned lands, to some specific degree for
the greater public good. DEP, in its regulatory capacity, is required by acts of the Florida Legislature, to
protect the natural resources of the state, such as air, water and wildlife, to ensure that these resources will
be healthy and abundant for present and future generations. DEP's Submerged Lands and Environmental
Resources regulatory program reviews applications for proposed works in wetlands and other surface
waters, as well as in uplands, that can affect water quality and quantity, to ensure compliance with the
Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statutes.
Over a century ago, the Governor and Cabinet, as the State of Florida Board of Trustees of the Internal
Improvement Trust Fund (Trustees), were designated by the state legislature as the Trustees of sovereign
submerged lands. All tidally influenced waters to the mean high water line and navigable fresh water bodies
to the ordinary high water line in existence when Florida became a state in 1845 are considered sovereign.
In accordance with the Constitution of the State of Florida, these lands are held in trust by the state for all
the people. As the Trustees, the Governor and Cabinet have proprietary (ownership) authority over
sovereign submerged lands and their uses and are responsible for ensuring that these lands and the
associated aquatic resources remain healthy and in abundance for present and future generations.
The DEP, in addition to its regulatory capacity, acts as the staff to the Trustees in the review of proposed
uses of state-owned submerged lands. If you are proposing to conduct an activity in waters that are not
sovereign submerged lands, you will only be required to meet regulatory standards. If your proposed
activity is located on state-owned submerged lands, you will be required to meet both regulatory and
proprietary requirements of the Florida Statutes and Florida Administrative Code.

Which Department Offices Process Which Types of Applications?
ERP applications for most activities that are the responsibility of the DEP (see the Operating Agreement
summary in Attachment 1) should be submitted to the appropriate DEP district office (see Attachment 4).
However, DEP offices in Tallahassee process and take agency action on certain types of applications.
Please submit applications for the following types of activities to the DEP office identified below (see

bypassing, excavation or maintenance dredging of inlet channels, or other deposition or removal of beach
material, or construction of other structures if of a solid or highly impermeable design, upon sovereignty lands
of Florida, below the mean high-water line of any tidal water of the state, a coastal construction permit must
be obtained from the department prior to the commencement of such work. The department may exempt
interior tidal waters of the state from the permit requirements of this section. No such development shall
interfere, except during construction, with the use by the public of any area of a beach seaward of the mean
high-water line unless the department determines such interference is unavoidable for purposes of protecting
the beach or any endangered upland structure. The department may require, as a condition to granting
permits under this section, the provision of alternative access when interference with public access along the
beach is unavoidable. The width of such alternate access may not be required to exceed the width of the
access that will be obstructed as a result of the permit being granted. Application for coastal construction
permits as defined above shall be made to the department upon such terms and conditions as set forth by rule
of the department. Except for the deepwater ports identified in s. 403.021(9)(b), the department shall not
issue any permit for the construction of a coastal inlet jetty or the excavation or maintenance of such an inlet
if the activity authorized by the permit will have a significant adverse impact on the sandy beaches of this
state without a mitigation program approved by the department. In evaluating the mitigation program, the
department shall take into consideration the benefits of the long-term sand management plan of the
permittee and the overall public benefits of the inlet activity.
