A TRUE COPY <br />CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE <br />RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK <br />extraction of these vessels will avoid and minimize the environmental impacts. In addition to the physical <br />impacts resulting from the movement of these vessel through the environment, there are long term <br />effects caused by their continued degradation and decay in the marine environment. These vessels may <br />be constructed of various materials, such as wood, steel, aluminum, or fiberglass; each having varying <br />degrees of resilience and can remain in the marine environment for extended periods of time. With the <br />progression of time, the environmental impacts increase because of the shading from the hull and <br />displacement of live bottom and emergent vegetative communities resulting from the expansion of the <br />debris field as the vessel disintegrates. The impacts resulting from the removal of these vessels during any <br />stage is less than the impacts caused by the long-term presence of the vessel in the marine environment. <br />Therefore, early detection and removal of abandoned and derelict vessels is the best means of minimizing <br />the individual or cumulative impacts to the environment. <br />Derelict Vessel Removal (FDEP) Permit Exemption <br />An Exemption under Florida Administrative Code Chapter 62-330-051(5)(g) by The Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection, has been established for the removal of derelict vessels. Based on the <br />presumption the extraction of these vessels from the marine environment will cause only minimal <br />environmental impacts and in turn avoid the long-term impacts resulting from the degradation of the <br />vessel at its current location. The environmental impacts are ameliorated by the application of the best <br />management practices referenced below. <br />Florida Administrative Code Chapter 62-330-051(5)(g) <br />(g) The removal of derelict vessels, as defined in Section 823.11(1), F.S., by federal, state, and local <br />agencies, provided: <br />1. The derelict vessel case has been completed as specified in Section 705.103, F.S., and has been <br />entered into the Statewide Derelict Vessel Database maintained by the Florida Fish and Wildlife <br />Conservation Commission; <br />2. All work is done in a manner that, to the greatest practicable extent, avoids additional dredging <br />or filling, grounding or dragging of vessels, and damage to submerged resources such as seagrass <br />beds, oyster beds, coral communities, mangroves, other wetlands, and live bottom; and <br />3. An absorbent blanket or boom shall be immediately deployed on the surface of the water around <br />the derelict vessel if fuel, oil, or other free-floating pollutants are observed during the work <br />General Derelict Vessel Removal and Environmental Protection Best Management <br />Practices <br />The following best management practices (BMPs) will be employed by the marine contractor during the <br />removal of the derelict vessels. The BMPs will be incorporated into the contract for the vessel removal <br />project. The marine contractor will be required to show proof of their ability to meet the BMP <br />requirements with their contingency of equipment, staff and expertise in the removal of derelict vessels. <br />Compliance with these BMP's will be monitored by the County and by local Florida Fish and Wildlife <br />Conservation Commission law enforcement officers. These BMPs are as follows: <br />a) All Work Is to Meet the Following Requirements: <br />FWC/DV-APP (Feb 2020) 3 Rule 68-1.003 <br />
