This proposed rule amends an existing noticed general environmental resource permit under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., for boat ramps and their associated accessory docks. The amendments will conform the general permit with the requirements of Section 373.118(5), F.S. (as amended by Chapter 2005-158, Laws of Florida), including authorizing certain upland improvements associated with a boat ramp facility that is constructed, operated, and maintained by a governmental entity, provided the ramp and associated facilities remain open to the general public for the life of the facility. The amendments also will make the general permit more useable by expanding the geographical area where it applies.
