BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT TRUST FUND

RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

18-2.018Policies, Standards, and Criteria for Evaluating, Approving or Denying Requests to Use Uplands

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, in its role as staff to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida, has declined to rule on the petition for declaratory statement filed by Roy C. Johnson on September 10, 2019, and subsequently amended on October 2, 2019. The following is a summary of the agency's declination of the petition:

A Final Order Denying Petition for Declaratory Statement was issued on December 19, 2019. The petition did not seek clarification of how statutes or rules apply to the petitioner's own circumstances or to the circumstances of a similarly situated entity, in order that the petitioner may select a proper course of action. Instead the petition sought a declaration that statutes and rules precluded a construction project that has already been completed. Thus the petition was denied.

A copy of the Order Declining of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Lea Crandall, Agency Clerk, Office of General Counsel, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, 3900 Commonwealth Blvd, MS35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, [phone], [e-mail] during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays)

Please refer all comments to: Toni Sturtevant, Senior Assistant General Counsel, Office of General Counsel, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, 3900 Commonwealth Blvd, MS35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000; [phone].
