State Programmatic General Permit
| Note: The Corps has recently disallowed use of the SPGP
for placement of rip rap within Johnson Seagrass Critical
Habitat and Smalltooth Sawfish Critical Habitat within
Charlotte, Lee, & Collier Counties (Monroe County is already
excluded from the availability to use the SPGP). Maps of these
Critical Habitat areas are available in the table below. |
On September 24, 1997, the Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers issued an expanded State Programmatic General Permit
(SPGP III). The purpose of the SPGP III was to avoid duplication of
permitting between the Corps and the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) for minor work located in waters of the United States,
including navigable waters. Thus, the need for separate approval from
the Corps would be mostly eliminated. SPGP IV further increased the
efficiency of both State and Federal staff in serving the public.
Currently, SPGP IV-R1 has expanded the geographic coverage by including
the counties in the panhandle area. Therefore, SPGP IV-R1 will be
implemented throughout the entire State of Florida, excluding Monroe
County, continuing environmental protection while increasing the service
to the public.
