Description
The permit streamlining the State of Florida
has experienced within the last 5 years has made it essential that the permitting agencies
- the Department Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Water Management Districts
(WMDs)
- be able to share information about what each agency is permitting in the same geographic
areas. Similar data sharing with the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) will be necessary once
a comprehensive, statewide State Programmatic General Permit (SPGP) is developed.
Therefore, in 1992, the DEP and the WMDs initiated informal discussions on the need to
share permitting data between agencies. These discussions resulted in a joint grant
application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This grant was approved and funded under the
Wetlands Protection State Development Grant program. The scope of the project was to
develop and implement a mechanism to collect and share an agreed upon set of basic
information about environmental resource permitting and compliance and enforcement actions
between the WMDs, DEP, the COE and EPA. A pilot project was initiated between the South
Florida WMD (SFWMD) to develop the basic framework for sharing the agreed upon set of
information. Subsequent EPA and state funding, already available, will be used to extend
this data sharing mechanism to the other WMDs.
The ultimate goals of the data sharing effort are to improve permit decisions on a
watershed basis; and identify lands suitable for mitigation banking, other restoration
activities, or acquisition by sharing a standard set of permitting information.
