OR N0 L\SPECT1ON WILL RE i6S..LDEE-
On March 3, 2017, we received your application and on May 1, 2017, the application was complete
for an exemption to (1) reconfigure an existing dock to a 318 ft2 marginal dock with a 175 ftZ finger
pier, and (2) relocate an existing boat lift. The project is located within a residential canal, Class
III Waters, adjacent to 260 Marina Drive, Ft. Pierce (Section 25/26, Township 34 South, Range 40
East), in St. Lucie County (Latitude. N 27' 29' 19.91 ", Longitude W 80' 18' 14.89").
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 qualifies for all three. However, this letter does not relieve you from the
responsibility of obtaining other federal, state, or local authorizations that maybe required for the
activity.
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(5)(c), 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 will expire after
one year, and will not be valid at any other time if site conditions materially change, the project
design is modified, or the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity are amended. However,
the activity may still be conducted without further notification to or verification from the
Department after the one-year expiration of this verification, provided: 1) the project design does

not change; 2) site conditions do not materially change; and 3) there are no changes to the statutes
or rules governing the exempt activity. In the event you need to re -verify the exempt status for the
activity after the one-year expiration of this verification, a new application 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. Conditions of compliance
with the regulatory exemption are contained in Attachment A.
2. Proprietary Review — NOT REQUIRED
The activity does not appear to be located on sovereign submerged lands, and does not require
further authorization under chapter 253 of the Florida Statutes, or chapters 18-20 or 18-21 of the
Florida Administrative Code.
3. Federal Review — SPGP APPROVED
Your proposed activity as outlined on your application and attached drawings qualifies for Federal
authorization pursuant to the State Programmatic General Permit V, and a separate permit or
authorization will not be required from the Corps. Please note that the Federal authorization expires
on July 26, 2021. You, as permittee, are required to adhere to all General Conditions and Special
conditions that may apply to your project." A copy of the SPGP V with all terms and conditions
and the General Conditions may be found at

Authority for review - an agreement with the USACOE entitled "Coordination Agreement
Between the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Jacksonville District) and the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, or Duly Authorized Designee, State Programmatic General Permit",
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbor Act of 1899, and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
Additional Information
Please retain this letter. The activities may be inspected by authorized state personnel in the future
to insure compliance with appropriate statutes and administrative codes. If the activities are not
in compliance, you maybe subject to penalties under Chapter 373, F.S., and Chapter 18-14, F.A.C.
NOTICE OF RIGHTS
This action is final and effective on the date filed with the Clerk of the Department unless a petition
for an administrative hearing is timely filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., before the
deadline for filing a petition. On the filing of a timely and sufficient petition, this action will not
be final and effective until further order of the Department. Because the administrative hearing
process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the
Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice.
Petition for Administrative Hearing
A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's action may petition for an
administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. Pursuant to Rule 28-
106.201, F.A.C., a petition for an administrative hearing must contain the following information:

who has asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within 21 days of
receipt of such notice, regardless of the date of publication. The failure to file a petition within the
appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person's right to request an administrative

and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another

Department's action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative
hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time.

at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, before the
applicable deadline for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. A timely request for

entangled, shall be properly secured, and shall be regularly monitored to avoid manatee
entanglement or entrapment. Barriers must not impede manatee movement.

presence of manatee(s). All in -water operations, including vessels, must be shutdown if a
manatee(s) comes within 50 feet of the operation. Activities will not resume until the

e. If a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish is seen within 100 yards of the active daily
construction/dredging operation or vessel movement, all appropriate precautions shall be
implemented to ensure its protection. These precautions shall include cessation of operation of any
