The issues to be determined are whether Respondent Roy Voss is entitled to an exemption from the requirement to obtain an Environmental Resource Permit (“ERP”) and entitled to “consent by rule” to use sovereignty submerged lands to install five mooring pilings next to his existing dock in Stuart, Florida.The Respondent's installation of mooring pilings did not qualify for an exemption under section 373.406(6), Florida Statutes, or consent by rule under Florida Administrative Code Rule 18-21.005(1)(b), because the pilings created a navigational hazard.
