The Southeast District promotes environmental protection through regulatory consistency, accountability, and partnerships in support of a growing economy and healthy community. In addition to issuing various kinds of program-specific permits, our office conducts the majority of the day-to-day environmental inspections, including the performance of compliance assistance and enforcement functions.

District Director Sirena Davila  provides guidance and oversight to all program areas in the district, Assistant Director Viviana Useche oversees the district's Compliance Assurance Program, Norva Blandin oversees the district's Permitting and Waste Cleanup programs and Diane Pupa administers all business functions in the district office.

The district’s staffing is broken down into the following functional areas:

Regulatory divisions centralized in Tallahassee provide guidance for policy and consistency among the districts.

The vision of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection is to create strong community partnerships, safeguard Florida’s natural resources and enhance its ecosystems. The department is focusing on six strategic goals to help achieve this vision:

  1. Focus taxpayer resources on projects that provide a direct benefit to the environment and local communities.
  2. Establish and consistently use clear metrics to evaluate and strengthen the department’s programs, activities and services.
  3. Partner with communities and businesses to protect natural resources and promote economic growth.
  4. Improve the quality of natural resources through long-term planning, restoration and maintenance.
  5. Empower employees to solve problems through innovation and efficiency.
  6. Proactively communicate a clear and consistent message both internally and externally.

In addition, the Southeast District is focused on ensuring our team is properly cross-trained and highly proficient in multiple topic areas, upholding the highest standards of quality and professionalism, and increasing educational outreach and pre-application assistance in order to maintain the highest possible levels of environmental regulatory compliance and compatible economic growth throughout the district.
