Located centrally in Fort Myers, DEP’s South District is responsible for administering DEP regulatory programs for eight South Florida counties. District staff oversee compliance assistance, permitting and waste cleanup.

Elizabeth Sweigert
DEP - South District District Director

Florida has a very broad public records law. Most written communications to or from state officials regarding state business are public records available to the public and media upon request. Your email communication may therefore be subject to public disclosure.
