Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) A Joint Coastal Permit, pursuant to
				subsection  62B-49.005(1),
				F.A.C., is required in order to conduct any coastal construction activities in
				Florida. All information in conjunction with an application shall only be
				submitted by the applicant or the duly authorized agent. The information listed
				below provides specific details for application requirements related to this
				chapter:
(a) A topographic and bathymetric
				survey drawing of the proposed project site. The drawing shall be submitted in
				a Geographical Information System format (.shp, .dwg, .dxf., or other GIS
				compatible format) using layers for the specific information listed below. The
				topographic and bathymetric information depicted in the drawing shall be from a
				survey performed within six months prior to the date of application. A more
				recent survey will be required in the event conditions have significantly
				changed. The survey drawings shall include the following specific information:
1. Topographic and bathymetric data, which
				shall be provided as offshore and onshore cross-sectional profiles in ASCII
				files containing raw x, y, and z profile data points, and as a contour map.
				Profiles shall extend from the crest of the first dune, dune escarpment or
				rigid coastal structure to at least 1, 000 feet seaward of the seaward extent
				of the proposed project or to the distance of the depth of closure, whichever
				is more seaward, unless a more seaward limit is specified by the Department to
				determine the active zone of influence of the proposed project. Profiles shall
				be taken at least every 500 feet along the proposed project site and for a
				distance up to at least 1, 000 feet laterally along the shoreline adjacent to
				both ends of the proposed project site. If the topography and bathymetry are
				varied and complex, profile lines of a higher density, or which are longer than
				otherwise required shall be provided. The contour map shall include 1 foot
				contour intervals. A bathymetric survey including a one foot contour map or a
				contour map of sufficient resolution to adequately describe the area shall be
				provided for all borrow sources or areas to be excavated and extending at least
				one hundred feet beyond the limits of the area to be excavated.
2. All elevations, referenced to
				N.A.V.D.
3. Survey control
				information with all survey data, including coordinates of all survey reference
				monuments given in Florida state plane coordinates and azimuths for all profile
				lines.
4. The location, including
				coordinates, of all Department survey reference monuments within the project
				limits, including the nearest adjacent monument on either side of the
				project.
5. The mean high-water
				line, and, if applicable, the erosion control line.
6. The seaward limit of vegetation.
7. The location and areal extent of any
				subsurface or beach and nearshore rock outcrops or any hard bottom or reef
				tract which may be impacted by the proposed project.
8. All existing structures on, or adjacent
				to, the project area, including sufficient descriptive identification and
				accurate location references.
9.
				The scale of the drawings.
10.
				Designation of north direction.
11.
				The dates of the field surveys.
12.
				The signature and seal of the professional surveyor, duly registered pursuant
				to Chapter 472, F.S., who performed the survey, accompanied by a certification
				that the submitted drawing accurately reflects a field survey which complies
				with the requirements of this section.
13. Projects involving or impacting inlets
				shall include an accurate survey of all affected ebb and flood tidal
				shoals.
