ST. Lucie County, Permitting
SCAENED
StlucleCourity
On June 13, 2019, we received your request for verification of exemption to install a boatlift. The
project is located in the manmade canal off of the Indian River, Class III Waters, adjacent to 247
Nettles Blvd, Jensen Beach (Section 2,.Township 37 South, Range 41 East), in St. Lucie County
(Latitude N 271 17' 7.97", Longitude W 800 13' 34.77").
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 may be required for the
activity.
If you change the project from what you submitted, the authorization(s) granted may no longer
be valid at the time of commencement of the project. Please contact us prior to beginning your
project if you wish to make any changes.
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)(h), 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 may not be
valid if site conditions materially change, the project design is modified, or the statutes or rules
governing the exempt activity are amended. In the event you need to re -verify the exempt status

for the activity, anew request 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.
2. Proprietary Review —NOT REQUIRED
The activity does not appear to be located on sovereign submerged lands, and does not require
f ntber 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 in your application and attached drawings qualifies for
Federal authorization pursuant to the State Programmatic General Permit V-RI, and a
Federal authorization expires o 2+ . owever, your a�u honz'ationmay remain

previous dock and:
(a) within Johnson's seagrass critical habitat with No current seagrass survey
(completed no earlier than 1 year before submitting the application); or, Johnson's
seagrass under the dock; or, Native seagrass, other than Johnson's seagrass, under
the dock; or,
(b) within the Range of Johnson's seagrass (outside of critical habitat) with No current
seagrass survey or,Johnson's seagrass under the dock,
(ii) New docks or dock expansions and:
(a) within Johnson's seagrass critical habitat; or,
(b) within the Range of Johnson's seagrass (outside of critical habitat) with: No current
seagrass survey (completed no earlier than 1 year before submitting the application)
or, Johnson's seagrass within property limit.
c. The following additional restrictions apply when required by paragraphs 8.a.(2) or 8.b.(4),
above (Reference: The following replicates the "Dock PDCs for Scenario B" within A2.17.
PDCs for Docks or Other Minor Structures of JAXBO.):
(1) To avoid and minimize impacts to Johnson's seagrass and native, non -listed seagrasses to
the maximum extent practicable:
(i) The dock must be positioned to avoid and minimize effects to Johnson's seagrass.
(ii) Over any area that contains Johnson's seagrass or native, non- listed seagrasses, the
dock shall be oriented in a north -south orientation to the maximum extent that is
practicable to allow maximum sunlight under the structure.
(iii)If practicable, terminal platforms shall be placed in deep water, waterward of Johnson's
seagrass beds or native, non -listed seagrasses beds or in an area devoid of Johnson's
seagrass or native, non -listed seagrasses.
(iv)Piles must be spaced a minimum of 10 ft apart in any area that contains Johnson's
seagrass to minimize direct impacts.
(v) Piles shall be installed in a manner that will not result in the formation of sedimentary
deposits (e.g., donuts or halos) around the newly installed pilings.
(vi)No covered boat lifts are allowed over any Johnson's seagrass.
(2) Decking options: Deck surfaces (parallel with the water) that are located waterward of the
MHWL must be constructed of grated materials or plank construction or a combination of
the both methods (e.g. plank decking on the walkway and grated decking on the terminal
platform). These decking options are described below:
(i) For grated decking:
(a) Height requirement: The surface of the structure, including the dock walkway (the
over- water narrow portion connecting the terminal platform to the shore and any
over -water ramp required for access) and the dock, must be a minimum of 3 ft
above MHW when constructed with grated decking.
(b) Size limitations: The dock walkway is limited to a width of ft. The terminal
platform is limited to a total area of 160 W. Marginal docks are limited to a width of
5 ft. The 5 ft width restriction is measured from wet side of the seawall. For
example, if a seawall cap is 3 feet overwater then the dock would be limited to 2
feet.

d. Aids to Navigation in Acropora critical habitat. The distance from Aids to Navigation
(ATONs) to ESA -listed corals and Acropora critical habitat shall ensure there are no impacts to
the corals or the essential feature of Acropora critical habitat from the movement of buoys and
tackle. The appropriate distance shall be based on the size of the anchor chain or other tackle to
be installed to secure the buoy to its anchor, particularly when the design of the ATON does
not prohibit the contact of tackle with the marine bottom. In all cases, buoy tackle will include
flotation to ensure there is no contact between the anchor chain or line and the marine bottom
(Reference: JAXBO PDC A2.10.).
