The vision of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is to create strong community partnerships while protecting Florida’s natural resources and enhancing ecosystems. To do so, DEP has published five key values that are being implemented agency wide. The values include integrity, accountability, communication, innovation and service.
Many cleanup activities require the approval of local, state or federal agencies. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to be aware of these requirements and to obtain the necessary permits. Permits that are commonly required include the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), wastewater, building (including electrical), storm water, water consumptive use, right‑of‑way, and well permits.
