Summary


The rule adopts the Florida Agriculture Wildlife Best Management Practices manual (2015 Edition) by reference and establishes a procedure for applicants to submit a “Notice of Intent to Implement” for the specified WBMPs. When the Notice of Intent to Implement is filed with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and WBMPs are implemented, the landowner receives a presumption of compliance from incidental take of State Imperiled Species. This rule also provides that applicants must preserve sufficient documentation to confirm implementation of the WBMPs and that all implementation activities and documentation related to WBMPs are subject to the FDACS and FWC inspection.
