GENERAL PERMIT SAJ-20
SAJ-2006-6017 (SLS)
PRIVATE SINGLE-FAMILY DOCKS/PIERS IN FLORIDA
Upon recommendation of the Chief of Engineers, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers
and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403), general authority is hereby given to construct
private single-family docks in navigable waters of the United States within the State of
Florida subject to the following conditions:
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
1. Structures authorized under this general permit are private single-family
docks/piers designed to accommodate not more than two vessels, including dry
storage, unless a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.approved
Manatee Protection Plan is more restrictive. This would include normal appurtenances
such as boat hoists, boat shelters with open sides, stairways, walkways, mooring
pilings, dolphins, and maintenance of same,
2. No work shall be performed until the applicant submits satisfactory plans for
the proposed structure and receives written authorization from the District Engineer.
3. The following areas are specifically excluded from authorization under SAJ-
00
a. Motorboat prohibited zones, no entry zones, and Federal Manatee
Sanctuaries.
b. All areas regulated under the Lake Okeechobee and Okeechobee
Waterway Shoreline Management Plan, located between St. Lucie Lock in Martin
County and W.P. Franklin Lock in Lee County.
c. Monroe County
d. American Crocodile designated critical habitat, Biscayne Bay National
Park Protection Zone (Dade County), St. Lucie Impoundment (Palm Beach County),
and areas identified in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1317, et seq.): the St.
Mary's River, from its'headwaters to its confluence with the Bells River, the entire
Wekiva River, including Wekiwa Springs Run, Rock Springs Run, the entire Seminole
Creek, and Black Water Creek from its outfall at Lake Norris to its confluence with the
Wekiva River, the Loxahatchee River from Riverbend Park downstream to Jonathan
Dickinson State Park.
e. The following state parks: John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park,
Lignum Vitae Key State Botanical Site and Aquatic Preserve, Long Key State Park,
Curry Hammock State Park, and Bahia Honda State Park.
f. Canals in the Kings Bay/Crystal River/Homosassa/Salt River system
(Citrus County); canals at Garfield Point including Queens Cove (St. Lucie County).
4. No structures shall be authorized by SAJ-20 within the boundaries of the
Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve (Duval County) until the National Park
Service has been contacted and offered the opportunity to submit comments to the
Corps on the effects of the proposed project on the preserve.
nor to verification of authorization, the dichotomous key titled "The Corps of
E , Jacksonville District, and the State of Florida Effect Determination Key for
the Manatee in Florida, July 2005", (see
hftp://www.sai,usace.army.mil/permit/EndangftLed Species/end species index.htm) will
be used to determine potential manatee impacts. Additionally, where the Corps and
Service have elected to review multiple single-family dock facilities as a multi -slip
facility, all such projects determined to be a "may affect" to the manatee, and some
projects determined to be "may affect, not likely to adversely affect," will not be
authorized until consultation on the project is concluded. Note: The manatee key may
be subject to revision at anytime. It is our intention that the most recent version of this
technical tool will be utilized during the evaluation of the permit application.
6. For projects in waters accessible to manatees, the permittee will utilize the
"St n d Manatee Conditions for In -Water Work, July 2005" (see
and/or requirements, as appropriate for the proposed activity. Note. The manatee
conditions may be subject to revision at any time. It is our intention that the most recent
version of these conditions will be utilized during the evaluation of the permit
application.
7. For projects in waters accessible to sea turtles, Smalltooth sawfish, Gulf
sturgeon, or Shortnose sturgeon, the permittee will utilize the "Sea Turtle and
Smalltooth Sawfish Construction Conditions" (see
requirements, as appropriate for the proposed activity. Note: These conditions
may be subject to revision at any time. It is ourintention that the most recent version of
these conditions will be utilized during the evaluation of the permit application.
8. With respect to nesting bald eagles, for projects whose construction activity is
within 0 to 660 feet of an active or inactive bald eagle's nest (see state wildlife data
base at www.wld.fwc,state.fl.us/eagle/eaglenests), the project manager should refer to
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's June 2006 Bald Eagle Clearance Letter (see
www.fws.gov/northfiodda)) for guidance and clearance. Activity within that distance and
not in conformance with the conditions and recommendations of that letter will not be
authorized until consultation on the project is concluded. Note: The preceding should
be considered an interim condition, after which, new rules may be promulgated. It is
the Corps' intention that the most recently approved version of these conditions will be
utilized during the evaluation of permit applications under this general permit.
9. This permit has undergone consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on the listed species and any
designated critical habitat listed on Table 1 (attached). if the proposed activity "may
affect" listed species or critical habitat additional Section 7 consultation will be initiated.
Until consultation is concluded, the proposed activity cannot be authorized under SAJ-
20.
10. No work shall be authorized by SAJ-20 which may affect hard or soft corals,
including listed corals, estuarine emergent, marine emergent, and/or the following
species of submerged aquatic vegetation: shoal grass (Halodule wrighth), paddle grass
(Halophila decipiens), star grass (Halophila engelmannr), Johnson's seagrass
(Halophila johnsonir), sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus), clasping -leaved
pondweed (Potamogeton perfoliatus), widgeon grass (Ruppia maritime), manatee grass
(Syringodium friiforme), turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum), tapegrass (Vallisneria
Americana), horned pondweed (Zannichellia palustris), and eel grass (Zostera marina).
Indirect effects include secondary and cumulative effects. In addition, the project
cannot have adverse effects on any other essential fish habitat.
11. Adverse impacts to aquatic vegetation from dock construction may be
ameliorated by adherence to the attached joint U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'/National
Marine Fisheries Service's "Construction Guidelines in Florida for Minor Piling -
Supported Structures Constructed in or over Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV),
Marsh or Mangrove Habitat - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/National Marine Fisheries
Service - August 2001." (See
http:i/www.sai.usace.army,mil/permit/Endangered Species/end species index.htm)
Dock construction everywhere in the State of Florida must comply with the above, and
additionally, because of concerns about adverse impacts to Johnson's seagrass
(Halophila johnsonir), dock construction in the lagoon (as well as canal) systems on
Florida's east coast from Sebastian inlet (Brevard County) south to and including
central Biscayne Bay (Miami -Dade County) must also comply with the construction
guidelines titled "Key for Construction Conditions for Docks or Other Minor
Structures Constructed in or Over Johnson's seagrass (Halophila johnsonir)
National Marine Fisheries Service/U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - February 2002.'
(See
http:/Iwww.sal.usace.army.mil/permit/Endanoered Species/end species index.htm)
Note: Both of the Construction Guidelines may be subject to revision at any time. It is
our intention that the most recent version of this technical tool will be utilized during the
evaluation of the permit application.
12. For projects proposed adjacent to Federally -maintained channels, no
structure, including mooring piles, authorized under this regional general permit shall be
within the established setback. The setback is normally 100' in the various Intracoastal
Waterways but may vary in a few specific reaches as well as in other Federal channels.
Exact locations of the proposed structures relative to the channel may need to be
verified by use of the Florida State Plane (x, y) Coordinate System, calculated from the
near -bottom edge of the Federal channel. Any activity within Federal rights -of -way will
require the permittee to enter into a consent -to -easement with the Real Estate Division,
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville or Mobile District, as appropriate, prior to
the commencement of any construction activity.
13. For projects authorized under the SAJ-20 in navigable waters of the United
States, the permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United
States require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structures or work
herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized
representative, said structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free
navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required, upon due notice from
the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions
caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against
the United States on account of any such removal or alteration. A structure authorized
under this regional general permit must not interfere with general navigation.
14, No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation.
Any safety lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations
or otherwise, must be installed and maintained at the permittee's expense on
authorized facilities in navigable waters of the United States.
15. No structure or work shall adversely affect or disturb properties listed in the
National Register of Historic Places or those eligible for inclusion in the National
Register. Prior to the start of work, the permittee or other party on the permittee's
behalf, shall conduct a search in the National Register Information System (NRIS).
Information can be found at; http:/Iwww.cr.nps.gov/nr/research/nris.htm.
If unexpected cultural resources are encountered at any time within the project area
that was not the subject of a previous cultural resource assessment survey, work
should cease in the immediate vicinity of such discoveries. The permittee, or other
party, should notify the SHPO immediately, as well as the appropriate Army Corps of
Ell
Engineers office. After such notifications, project activities should not resume without
verbal and/or written authorization from the SHPO.
If unmarked human remains are encountered, all work shall stop immediately, and the
proper authorities notified in accordance with Section 872.05, Florida Statutes, unless
on Federal lands. After such notifications, project activities on non -Federal lands shall
not resume without verbal and/or written authorization from the Florida State
Archaeologist for finds under his or her jurisdiction.
16. Turbidity controls measures may be required, and the work must be
conducted so as to prevent violations of State Water Quality Standards as established
in sections 62-4.242 and 62-4.244 of the Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 62-
302, 62-520, 62-522, and 62-550 of the Florida Administrative Code.
17. Prior to the initiation of any construction, projects qualifying for this regional
general permit must be authorized by the applicable permit required under Part IV of
Chapter 373, F.S., by the Department of Environmental Protection, a water
management district under s. 373.069, F.S., or a local government with delegated
authority under s. 373.441, F.S., and receive Water Quality Certification (WQC) and
applicable Coastal Zone Consistency Concurrence (CZCC) or waiver thereto, as well as
any authorizations required for the use of state-owned submerged lands under Chapter
253, F.S., and, as applicable, Chapter 258, F.S.
18. No work shall be performed until after the permittee provides notification to
the owner(s) or operator(s) of any marked utilities in the area of the structure.
19. Conformance with the descriptions and criteria contained herein does not
necessarily guarantee authorization under this regional general permit. The District
Engineer reserves the right to require that any request for authorization under this
regional general permit be processed as a standard permit.
20, This regional general permit will be valid for a period of five years from the
date specified above unless suspended or revoked by the District Engineer prior to that
date. If SAJ-20 expires or is revoked prior to completion of the authorized work,
authorization of activities that have commenced or are under contract to commence in
reliance on SAJ-20 will remain in effect provided the activity is completed within 12
months of the date SAJ-20 expired or was revoked.
21. The permittee shall perform all work in accordance with the general
conditions for permits. The general conditions attached hereto are made a part of this
permit.

GENERAL PERMIT SAJ-20
SAJ-2006-6017 (SLS)
PRIVATE SINGLE-FAMILY DOCKS/PIERS IN FLORIDA
Upon recommendation of the Chief of Engineers, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers
and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403), general authority is hereby given to construct
private single-family docks in navigable waters of the United States within the State of
Florida subject to the following conditions:
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
1. Structures authorized under this general permit are private single-family
docks/piers designed to accommodate not more than two vessels, including dry
storage, unless a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission approved
Manatee Protection Plan is more restrictive. This would include normal appurtenances
such as boat hoists, boat shelters with open sides, stairways, walkways, mooring
pilings, dolphins, and maintenance of same.
2. No work shall be performed until the applicant submits satisfactory plans for
the proposed structure and receives written authorization from the District Engineer.
3. The following areas are specifically excluded from authorization under SAJ-
20:
a. Motorboat prohibited zones, no entry zones, and Federal Manatee
Sanctuaries.
b. All areas regulated under the Lake Okeechobee and Okeechobee
Waterway Shoreline Management Plan, located between St. Lucie Lock in Martin
County and W.P. Franklin Lock in Lee County.
c. Monroe County
d. American Crocodile designated critical habitat, Biscayne Bay National
Park Protection Zone (Dade County), St. Lucie Impoundment (Palm Beach County),
and areas identified in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1317, et seq.): the St.
Mary's River, from its headwaters to its confluence with the Bells River, the entire
Wekiva River, including Wekiwa Springs Run, Rock Springs Run, the entire Seminole
Creek, and Black Water Creek from its outfall at Lake Norris to its confluence with the
Wekiva River, the Loxahatchee River from Riverbend Park downstream to Jonathan
Dickinson State Park.
e. The following state parks: John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park,
Lignum Vitae Key State Botanical Site and Aquatic Preserve, Long Key State Park,
Curry Hammock State Park, and Bahia Honda State Park.
f. Canals in the Kings Bay/Crystal River/Homosassa/Salt River system
(Citrus County); canals at Garfield Point including Queens Cove (St. Lucie County).
4. No structures shall be authorized by SAJ-20 within the boundaries of the
Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve (Duval County) until the National Park
Service has been contacted and offered the opportunity to submit comments to the
Corps on the effects of the proposed project on the preserve.
5. Prior to verification of authorization, the dichotomous key titled "The Corps of
Engineers, Jacksonville District, and the State of Florida Effect Determination Key for
the Manatee in Florida, July 2005", (see
http://www.sai.usace.army.mil/permit/Endangered Species/end species index.htm) will
be used to determine potential manatee impacts. Additionally, where the Corps and
Service have elected to review multiple single-family dock facilities as a multi -slip
facility, all such projects determined to be a "may affect' to the manatee, and some
projects determined to be "may affect, not likely to adversely affect," will not be
authorized until consultation on the project is concluded. Note: The manatee key may
be subject to revision at anytime. It is our intention that the most recent version of this
technical tool will be utilized during the evaluation of the permit application.
6. For projects in waters accessible to manatees, the permittee will utilize the
"Standard Manatee Conditions for In -Water Work, July 2005" (see
http://www.sai.usace.army.mil/permit/Endangered Species/end species index.htm)
and/or requirements, as appropriate for the proposed activity. Note: The manatee
conditions maybe subject to revision at anytime. It is our intention that the most recent
version of these conditions will be utilized during the evaluation of the permit
application.
7. For projects in waters accessible to sea turtles, Smalltooth sawfish, Gulf
sturgeon, or Shortnose sturgeon, the permittee will utilize the "Sea Turtle and
Smalltooth Sawfish Construction Conditions" (see
http://www.sai.usace.army.mil/permit/Endangered Species/end species index.htm)
and/or requirements, as appropriate for the proposed activity. Note: These conditions
2
CL.
'
maybe subject to revision at anytime. It is our intention that the most recent version of
these conditions will be utilized during the evaluation of the permit application.
8. With respect to nesting bald eagles, for projects whose construction activity is
within 0 to 660 feet of an active or inactive bald eagle's nest (see state wildlife data
base at www.wld.fwc.state.fl.us/eagle/eaglenestsl, the project manager should refer to
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's June 2006 Bald Eagle Clearance Letter (see
www.fws.gov/northflohda)) for guidance and clearance. Activity within that distance and
not in conformance with the conditions and recommendations of that letter will not be
authorized until consultation on the project is concluded. Note: The preceding should
be considered an interim condition, after which, new rules may be promulgated. It is
the Corps' intention that the most recently approved version of these conditions will be
utilized during the evaluation of permit applications under this general permit.
9. This permit has undergone consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on the listed species and any
designated critical habitat listed on Table 1 (attached). If the proposed activity "may
affect" listed species or critical habitat additional Section 7 consultation will be initiated.
Until consultation is concluded, the proposed activity cannot be authorized under SAJ-
20.
10. No work shall be authorized by SAJ-20 which may affect hard or soft corals,
including listed corals, estuarine emergent, marine emergent, and/or the following
species of submerged aquatic vegetation: shoal grass (Halodule wrightir), paddle grass
(Halophila decipiens), star grass (Halophila engelmanm), Johnson's seagrass
(Halophila johnsonii), sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus), clasping -leaved
pondweed (Potamogeton perfoliatus), widgeon grass (Ruppia maritime), manatee grass
(Syringodium filiforme), turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum), tapegrass (Vallisneria
Americana), horned pondweed (Zannichellia palustris), and eel grass (Zostera marina).
Indirect effects include secondary and cumulative effects. In addition, the project
cannot have adverse effects on any other essential fish habitat.
11. Adverse impacts to aquatic vegetation from dock construction may be
ameliorated by adherence to the attached joint U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'/National
Marine Fisheries Service's "Construction Guidelines in Florida for Minor Piling -
Supported Structures Constructed in or over Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV),
Marsh or Mangrove Habitat - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/National Marine Fisheries
Service -August 2001." (See
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/permit/Endangered Species/end species index.htm)
Dock construction everywhere in the State of Florida must comply with the above, and
additionally, because of concerns about adverse impacts to Johnson's seagrass
(Halophila johnsonii), dock construction in the lagoon (as well as canal) systems on
Florida's east coast from Sebastian Inlet (Brevard County) south to and including
central Biscayne Bay (Miami -Dade County) must also comply with the construction
guidelines titled "Key for Construction Conditions for Docks or Other Minor
3
Structures Constructed in or Over Johnson's seagrass (Hatophila johnsonir)
National Marine Fisheries Service/U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - February 2002."
(See
Note: Both of the Construction Guidelines may be subject to revision at any time. 1t is
our intention that the most recent version of this technical tool will be utilized during the
evaluation of the permit application.
12. For projects proposed adjacent to Federally -maintained channels, no
structure, including mooring piles, authorized under this regional general permit shall be
within the established setback. The setback is normally 100' in the various Intracoastal
Waterways but may vary in a few specific reaches as well as in other Federal channels.
Exact locations of the proposed structures relative to the channel may need to be
verified by use of the Florida State Plane (x, y) Coordinate System, calculated from the
near -bottom edge of the Federal channel. Any activity within Federal rights -of -way will
require the permittee to enter into a consent -to -easement with the Real Estate Division,
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville or Mobile District, as appropriate, prior to
the commencement of any construction activity.
13. For projects authorized under the SAJ-20 in navigable waters of the United
States, the permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United
States require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structures or work
herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized
representative, said structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free
navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required, upon due notice from
the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions
caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against
the United States on account of any such removal or alteration. A structure authorized
under this regional general permit must not interfere with general navigation.
14. No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation.
Any safety lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations
or otherwise, must be installed and maintained at the permittee's expense on
authorized facilities in navigable waters of the United States.
15. No structure or work shall adversely affect or disturb properties listed in the
National Register of Historic Places or those eligible for inclusion in the National
Register. Prior to the start of work, the permittee or other party on the permittee's
behalf, shall conduct a search in the National Register Information System (NRIS).
Information can be found at; http://www.cr.nps.00v/nr/research/nris.htm.
If unexpected cultural resources are encountered at any time within the project area
that was not the subject of a previous cultural resource assessment survey, work
should cease in the immediate vicinity of such discoveries. The permittee, or other
party, should notify the SHPO immediately, as well as the appropriate Army Corps of
4
IdIdII,, n
L7� COP
Engineers office. After such notifications, project activities should not resume without
verbal and/or written authorization from the SHPO.
If unmarked human remains are encountered, all work shall stop immediately, and the
proper authorities notified in accordance with Section 872.05, Florida Statutes, unless
on Federal lands. After such notifications, project activities on non -Federal lands shall
not resume without verbal and/or written authorization from the Florida State
Archaeologist for finds under his or her jurisdiction.
16. Turbidity controls measures may be required, and the work must be
conducted so as to prevent violations of State Water Quality Standards as established
in sections 62-4.242 and 62-4.244 of the Florida Administrative Code and Chapters 62-
302, 62-520, 62-522, and 62-550 of the Florida Administrative Code.
17. Prior to the initiation of any construction, projects qualifying for this regional
general permit must be authorized by the applicable permit required under Part IV of
Chapter 373, F.S., by the Department of Environmental Protection, a water
management district under s. 373.069, F.S., or a local government with delegated
authority under s. 373.441, F.S., and receive Water Quality Certification (WQC) and
applicable Coastal Zone Consistency Concurrence (CZCC) or waiver thereto, as well as
any authorizations required for the use of state-owned submerged lands under Chapter
253, F.S., and, as applicable, Chapter 258, F.S.
18. No work shall be performed until after the permittee provides notification to
the owner(s) or operator(s) of any marked utilities in the area of the structure.
19. Conformance with the descriptions and criteria contained herein does not
necessarily guarantee authorization under this regional general permit. The District
Engineer reserves the right to require that any request for authorization under this
regional general permit be processed as a standard permit.
20. This regional general permit will be valid for a period of five years from the
date specified above unless suspended or revoked by the District Engineer prior to that
date.. If SAJ-20 expires or is revoked prior to completion of the authorized work,
authorization of activities that have commenced or are under contract to commence in
reliance on SAJ-20 will remain in effect provided the activity is completed within 12
months of the date SAJ-20 expired or was revoked.
