U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permits administered by the district
Program change effective Oct. 1, 2017
As of Oct. 1, 2017, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) no longer participates in a Joint Application process.
If your project does not qualify for SPGP VI-R1 and your project requires a Corps permit, you must apply separately to the Corps using the appropriate federal application form for activities under federal jurisdiction. Please see the Corps’ Jacksonville District Regulatory Sourcebook for more information about federal permitting, which contains a link to the Corps permit application ENG 4345 & ENG 6082.
SPGP V-R1
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) State Programmatic General Permit (SPGP) authorizes various activities if the applicant obtains a verification and performs the work in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPGP. The SPGP enables the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and St. Johns River Water Management District (District) to issue the verification to an applicant, concurrently with their other State authorization(s), that the applicant’s proposed work is authorized pursuant to the SPGP and that a separate application to the Corps is not required.
On August 16, 2021, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) issued a permit titled SPGP VI-R1. The purpose of the SPGP VI-R1 is to avoid duplication of permitting between the Corps and state agencies such as the District for minor work located in waters of the United States, including navigable waters. SPGP VI-R1 reduces the need for separate approval from the Corps for the approved project types, and it increases the efficiency of both state and federal staff in serving the public. SPGP VI-R1 is implemented throughout the state of Florida, continuing environmental protection while increasing service to the public. The St. Johns River Water Management District implements SPGP VI-R1 under an updated Coordination Agreement with the Corps.
The SPGP VI-R1 authorizes five types of activities:
- Shoreline stabilization (now expanded to include living shorelines).
- Boat ramps and boat launch areas and structures associated with such ramps or launch areas.
- Docks, piers, associated facilities and other minor piling-supported structures.
- Removal of derelict vessels.
- Scientific sampling, measurement and monitoring devices.
The projects authorized by this SPGP VI-R1 are those activities that qualify for and are authorized by the specific State of Florida Exemptions and General Permits, as adopted by reference in Chapter 62-330, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and meet the activity description provided in Section II (Work Authorized). The remaining paragraphs in the instrument provide additional limits on what is and is not allowed.
Please note, while similar in nature, SPGP V and SPGP V-R1, which both expired more than one year ago, do not authorize the same scope of activities. If you need to receive re-authorization under SPGP VI-R1, please contact the District for additional information.
