62-330.450. General Permit for Construction, Alteration, and Operation of Urban Infill and Redevelopment Activities in Conformance with the Conceptual Approval Permit in Rule 62-330.055, F.A.C.

A general permit is issued that authorizes construction, alteration, operation, and maintenance of urban infill and redevelopment projects contemplated by a conceptual approval permit issued under rule 62-330.055, F.A.C., provided all the following conditions are met:

(1) The activities must be within an urban infill and redevelopment area or a community redevelopment area created under chapter 163, F.S., where a conceptual approval permit has been issued under rule 62-330.055, F.A.C.

(2) The notice of intent to use this general permit must include one set of construction plans and calculations prepared by a registered professional that:

(a) Depict all stormwater management features, all existing and proposed impervious areas, all existing and proposed pervious areas, and the land uses within the site of the proposed activities.

(b) Demonstrate a reduction of loading of pollutants, as identified in the conceptual approval permit, under the existing and proposed conditions at the site of the proposed activities.

(c) Constitute a design consistent with the terms and conditions of the conceptual approval permit, including an identification of the owner and operator of the stormwater management systems, and a demonstration of acceptance of such responsibility by that owner or operator.

(d) Identify the specific location within the urban infill and redevelopment or community redevelopment area where activities are proposed, including any areas within or connected to the development area that have been or will be set-aside for preservation, or where construction otherwise is not to occur.

(3) The Agency shall have 30 days upon receipt of the notice to respond as to whether the plans and calculations are in substantial compliance with the conceptual approval permit. If they are, construction of that portion of the site addressed by those plans may commence. If the Agency determines that the plans and calculations are not in substantial compliance with the conceptual approval permit, the Agency shall, within 30 days of receipt of the notice, inform the applicant of the inconsistencies, the measures needed to address those inconsistencies, and that verification of qualification to use the general permit is denied without prejudice. The applicant may resubmit a notice to use this general permit once those inconsistencies have been addressed. Construction of the projects that are the subject of the original notice shall not commence until the permittee has resubmitted a revised notice and obtained verification that the activities qualify for the general permit.

(4) Construction must be performed in compliance with the terms and conditions of the conceptual approval permit.

(5) As part of reviewing the qualification to use this general permit, the Agency will verify the number of debits that must be made to the ledger of target pollutant loads (mass per acre) if the activities included in the notice are constructed, and will debit that amount from the master ledger approved in the conceptual approval permit.

(6) Within 30 days of completion of construction, the registered professional shall submit certification that construction was completed in substantial conformance with the plans and calculations that were submitted in the verified qualification to use this general permit.

(7) This general permit authorizes construction of the above authorized projects within a duration of five years from verification of qualification; operation and maintenance of the authorized system shall be the responsibility of the owner and operator for the life of the project or activity.

(8) Unless the conditions of subsection 62-330.055(6), F.A.C. have been met, this general permit cannot be used to construct roads, parking areas, buildings, and other structures on areas where work in wetlands and other surface waters requires an individual permit under this chapter, or on lands served by a stormwater management system authorized by the individual permit.
