The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) invites you to attend a workshop on wetland permitting.
It is important to determine if wetlands are present before you buy or build on a piece of property because certain activities in wetlands are regulated by DEP and the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and may require state and/or federal permit approvals. Environmental permits help minimize potential environmental disruption as a result of common human activities.
Overview of Presentation:
-
What are wetlands?
- Why are wetlands important?
-
How do I know if I have wetlands?
- What do I need if I have wetlands on my property?
-
