Congress Ave. Suite 200 <br />west Palm Beach, Floritla 33401 <br />Re: File No.: 13- 0198020 -004 <br />File Name: Sunny Isles, City of; 183rd Street <br />Dear Mr. Russo: <br />David B. Scruhs <br />Secretary <br />On August 19, 2003, we received your application for an exemption to replace 200 linear feet of seawall and install <br />new king and batter piles. The project is located on Dumbfoundling Bay, on the Intracoastal Waterway, Class III <br />Waters, adjacent to 183`d Street, City of Sunny Isles (Section 11, Township 52 South, Range 43 East) in Miami - <br />Dade County (25 156'44.13" N, 80 °07'23.31" W). <br />Your application has been reviewed to determine whether it qualifies for any of three kinds of authorization that <br />may be necessary for works in wetlands or waters of the United States. The kinds of authorization are (1) regulatory <br />authorization, (2) proprietary authorization (related to state -owned submerged lands), and (3) federal authorization <br />(State Programmatic General Permit). The authority for review and the outcomes of the reviews are listed below. <br />Please read each section carefully. Your project may not have qualified for all three forms of authorization. If your <br />project did not qualify for one or more of the authorizations, refer to the specific section dealing with that <br />authorization for advice on how to obtain it. <br />1. Regulatory Review. — GRANTED <br />The Department has reviewed the submitted information and has determined that the project is not expected to cause <br />the release of pollutants in sufficient quantity, quality, content, or character with respect to the circumstances <br />surrounding the location, use, and operation of the project, as to contribute to pollution in contravention of the <br />provisions of Chapters 373 and 403, Florida Statutes (F.S.), or Title 62, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). <br />Therefore, based solely upon the documents submitted to the Department, the project has been determined to qualify <br />as an activity that is exempt from the need for an environmental resource permit pursuant to Chapter 373.406(6), <br />F.S. <br />This determination is applicable only pursuant to the statutes and rules in effect at the time the information was <br />submitted. This determination may not be valid in the event subsequent changes occur in the applicable statutes and <br />rules of the Department. Pursuant to Rule 62 -302, F.A.C., activities that qualify for this exemption must be <br />constructed and operated using appropriate best management practices and in a manner that does not cause water <br />quality violations. <br />The determination that your project qualifies as an exempt activity pursuant to Chapter 373.406(6), F.S., may be <br />revoked if the installation is substantially modified, or if the basis for the exemption is determined to be materially <br />incorrect, or if the installation results in water quality violations. Any changes made in the construction plans or <br />location of the project may necessitate a permit or certification from the Department. Therefore, you are advised to <br />contact the Department before beginning the project and before beginning any work in waters or wetlands which is <br />not specifically described in your submittal. <br />2. Proprietary Review.— GRANTED <br />The Department acts as staff to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Board of Trustees) <br />and issues certain authorizations for the use of sovereign submerged lands.
