Construction Site

Any construction site that disturbs 1 acre of land or more is required to obtain an NPDES permit for construction.  This includes construction sites that might disturb less than 1 acre but is a part of a larger development or project.

A permit must be obtained from FDEP for these construction activities.  A Notice of Intent (NOI) and permit fee must be submitted to FDEP.

More information can be found at the following FDEP website:

A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) must be created and kept with the permit when received.  Guidance on creating a SWP3 can be found at:

This SWP3 will be reviewed by Village staff as part of the Development Order process.
