This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) may not contain all data available within the repository. It is advisable to contact the community repository for any additional data. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may revise and republish part or all of this Preliminary FIS report at any time. In addition, FEMA may revise part of this FIS report by the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) process, which does not involve republication or redistribution of the FIS report. Therefore, users should consult community officials and check the Community Map Repository to obtain the most current FIS components. Selected Flood Insurance Rate Map panels for this community contain the most current information that was previously shown separately on the corresponding Flood Boundary and Floodway Map panels (e.g., floodways and cross sections). In addition, former flood hazard zone designations have been changed as follows. Old Zone(s)

  • 5/31/2014 (Year 3) City of Jacksonville/FDOT NPDES Permit
    Part V. 2013/2014 Annual Monitoring Plan Report 6/1/2013 – 5/31/2014 (Year 3) City of Jacksonville/FDOT NPDES Permit 1 2013/2014 Annual Monitoring Plan Report 6/1/2013 – 5/31/2014 (Year 3) City of Jacksonville/FDOT NPDES Permit EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Goal I of the monitoring plan is to identify water quality problem areas. This portion of the plan is implemented by the Routine Tributary Program (continuously in effect since the 1970’s) and the Tributary BMAP I and II Monitoring Program (Begun in 2010). Before the BMAP monitoring began, the Tributary Intensive program was in effect from 2002 to 2006. Routine Tributary Monitoring includes sampling 103 sites quarterly for fecal coliform bacteria and field parameters. Having a long-term dataset is necessary in determining long-term trends, particularly for fecal coliform compliance, which has demonstrated the most dramatic changes. In 2013/2014, the City of Jacksonville continued to play a leadership role in the Lower St. Johns River Tributaries Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) Working Group. Under the direction of FDEP, this group has developed BMAPs for 25 of the fecal coliform impaired WBIDs in Duval County. The City of Jacksonville is responsible for sampling five fecal coliform impaired WBIDs at 12 stations for the Trib I BMAP; and five fecal coliform impaired WBIDs at 18 sites for the Trib II BMAP. (Sites are periodically added, deleted, and changed based on decisions by the TAT Working Group). Extra efforts this year included conducting inter-agency Walk-the-WBIDs or “walks” in each of the ten BMAP I waterbodies.

  • State 404 Program Applicant's Handbook
    STATE 404 PROGRAM APPLICANT’S HANDBOOK This Handbook, including Appendices A and B only is incorporated by reference in subsection 62-331.010(5), F.A.C. Effective [date] FOR: FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Introduction The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“Department” or “DEP”) developed this Applicant’s Handbook to help persons understand the rules, procedures, standards, and criteria that apply to the State 404 Program under Part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes (F.S.). The Department administers and implements the State 404 Program. In the event the Department seeks and receives approval from EPA pursuant to 40 CFR 233.16 to modify the program to delegate implementation of the State 404 Program to Florida’s five Water Management Districts (“Districts”), the Districts may then implement the program with Department oversight. The State 404 Program Applicant’s Handbook refers to these entities collectively as “Agencies” and also refers to one or more water management districts as “District” or “Districts” (capitalized), respectively. The term “district” (lower case) generally refers to the main or field offices of either the Department or District. The Districts are: Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD) Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD) St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) The primary State 404 Program rules are adopted by DEP as Chapter 62-331 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). This Applicant’s Handbook is incorporated by reference in subsection 62-331.010(5), F.A.C., and therefore operates as a rule of the Agencies.
