Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection Takes Over Federal Wetlands Permit Process in State | Holland & Knight LLP


Highlights
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has signed an agreement to delegate to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) the authority to issue wetland permits in the state under Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA), effective on Dec. 22, 2020.
Florida joins only two other states, New Jersey and Michigan, that have assumed such authority.
