Chapter 62-345 UMAM Presentation
Submitted by Minick_A on January 27, 2017 - 2:21pm
A formal determination (FD) is a legally binding determination of the landward extent (boundaries) of wetlands and other surface waters as defined by Chapter 62-340, F.A.C. A formal determination is binding on the real property for which that determination is sought for as long as the determination is valid, in accordance with Sections 373.421(2) and (3), F.S.
If the project is a mining related the FD Petition will be processed by the Mining and Mitigation Program.
One of the top priorities in this rulemaking effort is developing a more certain regulatory process that is applied consistently across Florida to protect the environment and foster a sustainable economy. A more consistent rule will be easier to use on both ends—easier for the citizens or businesses applying the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method and for the agency staff processing the applications. The goal is to develop a streamlined, straightforward UMAM rule that is applicable statewide, but that still accounts for each region’s diverse ecological communities.
