Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) For any application that requires a
				determination or assessment of the landward extent of wetlands and other
				surface waters pursuant to section 7.1 of Volume I, Agency staff shall use Form
				 62-330.201(1),
				"Chapter 62-340, F.A.C., Date Form", (December 22, 2020), incorporated by
				reference by reference herein (
https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-12037
),
				as described in Volume I section 7.1.1, to document verification of
				determinations of the landward extent of wetlands and other surface waters for
				formal determinations and for applications for individual and conceptual
				approval permits. The "Chapter 62-340, F.A.C., Data Form Guide" in Appendix J
				of Volume I, and the "Chapter 62-340, F.A.C., Data Form Instructions" in
				Appendix K of Volume I, is available to assist staff in completion of the form,
				and to assist other environmental professionals in performing delineations.
(a) For the delineation of the landward
				extent of wetlands and other surface waters, at least one data point along the
				delineation boundary shall be verified and documented by the Agency during the
				visual site inspection pursuant to subsection
				 62-340.100(1),
				F.A.C. A delineation data point will be documented for each homogenous boundary
				within the site inspection area. One delineation data point representative of
				homeogeneous boundaries found in other locations throughout the site is
				sufficient for documentation. Documentation of a delineation data point shall
				include two data forms: one representative of the waterward area adjacent to
				the data point, the other representative of the landward or upland area
				adjacent to the data point. The two complete data forms at the delineation data
				point will document failure or satisfaction of all methodology criteria
				pursuant to Chapter 62-340, F.A.C., and charges in evidence used to determine
				the boundary delineation at that point.
(b) For identification or conclusions
				regarding the absence or presence of a non-wetland surface water, wetland, or
				upland classification by the Agency within the site inspection area, at least
				one data point within homogenous areas of classification shall be verified and
				documented by the Agency during the visual site inspection pursuant to
				subsection  62-340.100(1),
				F.A.C. One data point representative of homogeneous areas found in other
				locations throught the site is sufficient for documentation. Documentation of
				an identification data point shall include one data form representative of the
				area of classification. The data form at an identification data point will
				document failure or satisfaction of all methodology criteria pursuant to
				Chapter 62-340, F.A.C., and evidence used to determine the upland, wetland, or
				non-wetland surface water classification.
