Permit #20210958 Authorizes the following: According to
St. Lucie County Land Development Regulations (Chapter

Permit. The following vegetation has been identified for removal:
1. All exotic vegetation within a 1 ft. to 3 ft. path in order to conduct DOH soil borings for septic system
site evaluation.
Specific Permit Conditions: Areas outside of the development footprint shall be considered
preservation/protection areas (Land Development Code Section 6.00.05.A.2). A conspicuous protective
barrier shall be placed and maintained around the perimeter of protected 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.
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.
No grade changes or excavation of any sort may be made within the barricaded areas;
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 signs, permits, wires, or other attachments shall be affixed or attached to protected vegetation;
No equipment, including passenger vehicles, shall be driven, parked, or stored or repaired within
designated vegetation preservation areas.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT ANY NATIVE VEGETATION DESTROYED OR DAMAGED OUTSIDE OF THE LIMITS OF
CLEARING DUE TO CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES OR FILL PLACEMENT SHALL BE MITIGATED AT A RATIO OF 4:1 (4
INCHES OF REPLANTING FOR EACH INCH DESTROYED OR DAMAGED).

THIS IS NOT AN AUTHORIZATION TO PLACE FILL ON OR RE-GRADE PROPERTY.
