The South Florida Water Management District reviewed the information submitted for the proposed boat lift and has determined that the proposed project is exempt from the requirement to obtain an Environmental Resource Permit, pursuant to rule 62-330.051(5)(b), Florida Administrative Code (FAC). Work includes the construction of a 158 square foot boat lift on slip #1 of an existing 9-slip multi- family docking facility, in accordance with Exhibit 2, at 7655 Pelican Pointe Drive, Jensen Beach, in St. Lucie County, within the Jensen Beach to Jupiter Inlet Aquatic Preserve, Outstanding Florida Waters. This exemption verification is located within the boundaries of Sovereignty Submerged Lands Lease No. 560033336 for use of state-owned sovereignty submerged land in accordance with the provisions of Section 18-21.005(d), F.A.C. Work shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of this letter, the attached Exhibits 1-2, and the attached General Conditions for Authorizations for Use of Sovereign Submerged Lands. Activities that qualify for this exemption must be conducted and operated using appropriate best management practices and in a manner which does not cause or contribute to a water quality violation. Pursuant to Chapters 62-302 or 62-4, Florida Administrative Code. This letter does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other permits (federal, state or local) which may be required for the project. The determination that this project qualifies as an exempt activity may be revoked if the installation is substantially modified, if the basis of the exemption is determined to be materially incorrect, of if the installation results in violation to state water quality standards. Any changes made in the construction plans or location of the project may necessitate a permit from the District. Therefore you are advised to contact the District before beginning any work in wetlands which is not specifically described in the submittal. The notice of determination that the project qualifies as an exempt activity constitutes final agency action by the District unless a petition for administrative hearing is filed. Upon timely filing of a petition, this Notice will not be effective until further Order of the District. 3301 Gun Club Road, Wat Palm Beach, Florida 33406 - (561) 6864800 - 1-800-432-2045 • wwwsfwmd.gov David Gumpper - Gumpper Boat Lift, Application No.181116-985 November 27, 2018 Page 2 If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Jessica Huffman, at 863-462-5260 x 3018 orjhuffman@sfwmd.gov, and Neidrauer, Andrew, at (561) 682-2342 or aneidrau@sfwmd.gov.
