Panama City - Bay County International Airport
Ecosystem Management Agreement and Associated Documents

The Panama City- Bay County Airport and Industrial District signed an agreement with the Department to use an optional approach to the traditional permitting process for the Airport Relocation Project. The result of this process is an Ecosystem Management Agreement that includes the associated DEP environmental permits and describes the net ecosystem benefits of the project. The details of these benefits are described within the Agreement, and include commitments to conserve and restore nearly 10,000 acres within the West Bay Preservation Area, to treat stormwater to levels comparable to the Department's Outstanding Florida Waters criteria, and to register the passenger terminal building for Green Building certification as well as other environmental benefits.
