Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Oct. 04, 1999
The issue is whether Petitioner is entitled to an environmental resource permit for a surface water management system and the alteration of a wetland in connection with the construction of two warehouses, paved parking and loading areas, a detention pond, and enhancement of the remainder of the existing wetland. If not otherwise entitled to the permit, an additional issue is whether Petitioner is entitled to the permit through an exemption, waiver, or variance from the standard requirements for mitigation.No environmental resource permit because proposed activity would increase post-development runoff rate by 50 percent, decrease historic basin storage by more than 40, and destroy wetlands with an enhancement mitigation ratio of six to one.
