area(s) of vegetation to form a continuous boundary as specified in the General Conditions of Issuance section.
General Conditions of Issuance: The following minimum standards for vegetation protection shall be applied
to areas of vegetation designated to be preserved:
■ At a minimum distance of either ten (10) feet from the edge of groups of protected vegetation or from
the radius of the dripline from all protected trees, whichever is greater;
Protective barriers or protective designations shall remain in place until removal is authorized by SLC
ERD, or until issuance of a certificate of occupancy;
In the event that any protective barriers are removed or altered and clearing activities are conducted
within an area identified for preserve, SLC ERD is authorized to direct that all land clearing and site
alteration work at the site be stopped until the barriers are restored and any necessary corrective
actions taken to repair or replant any vegetation removed or damaged as a result of these
encroachments.
• The preserve areas and tree preservation areas shall be maintained in their natural state, so as not to alter
the water and oxygen content of the soil and impair its function;
• A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) Permit, separate from this permit, may be required for
construction activities disturbing 1 acre or more. Please visit www.dep.state.fl.us/water/stormwater/npdes or
contact Jose Vega, St. Lucie County Stormwater Program Coordinator at 772-462-1668 for more information.

• If any excavation or other activities are expected outside of the preserve area or dripline, the roots should
first be pruned (to the depth of required excavation) to sever them cleanly;
• If underground utilities must be routed through a protected root zone area, tunneling under the roots shall be
required;
• If irrigation must be installed, it shall be installed outside of the dripline of all preserve areas and protected
trees;
• No fill material, construction material, concrete, paint, chemicals, or other foreign materials shall be stored,
deposited or disposed of within a vegetation preservation area;
• No equipment, including passenger vehicles, shall be driven, parked, or stored or repaired within designated
vegetation preservation areas.
