RE: Facility ID: FLR20AM37-001

Mapleridge@Ave Maria phase 4
County: Collier

Dear Permittee:

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has received and processed your Notice of Intent to
Use Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small Construction Activities and
Dewatering Operations (NOI) and the accompanying processing fee. This letter acknowledges that:

your NOI is complete;

your processing fee is paid-in-full; and
you are covered under the Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small
Construction Activities and Dewatering Operations from non-contaminated sites (CGD), DEP
Document No. 62-621.300(4)(a).

Your project identification number is FLR20AM37-001. Please include this number on all future
correspondence to the Department regarding this permit.

This letter is not your permit; however, this letter does serve as verification of permit coverage. A copy
of the permit language is available online at https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-04265
or by contacting the NPDES Stormwater Notices Center.

Your permit coverage becomes effective January 09, 2016 and will expire January 08, 2021. To
terminate your coverage prior to this expiration date, you must file a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Notice of Termination, DEP Form 62-621.300(6) (NOT). An
NOT must be filed within 14 days of either (a) your final stabilization of the site or (b) your relinquishment
of control of the construction activities to a new operator. Terminating coverage under the CGP will also
terminate your dewatering operations. You may not exclusively terminate dewatering operation under this
form.

To renew your coverage beyond the expiration date, you must submit a new NOI and processing fee to the
Department no later than two days before coverage expires.

Until your permit coverage is terminated, modified, or revoked, you are authorized to discharge stormwater
from the construction site referenced in your NOI to surface waters in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the CGP. Some key conditions of the CGP are:

implementation of your stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP);

implementation of appropriate construction and dewatering best management practices (BMPs);
conducting and documenting routine inspections; and
retaining all records required by the permit (including your SWPPP) at the construction site or the
alternate location specified in your NOI.

Projects that discharge stormwater associated with construction activity to a municipal separate stormwater
system (MS4) shall submit a copy of the NOI or the Acknowledgement Letter within 7 days of receipt to
the operator of the MS4.

If you have any questions concerning this Acknowledgment Letter, please contact the NPDES Stormwater
Notices Center at (866) 336-6312 (toll-free).

Sincerely,

NPDES Stormwater Program

Part VI – Dewatering Information:
If your site has “noncontaminated ground water”, the CGP also authorizes discharges from ground water dewatering activities.
A site will be presumed to have uncontaminated if it is not contaminated and there are no known contamination sites within
500 feet of the site. You may use the Department’s http://webapps.dep.state.fl.us/DepClnup/welcome.do or the Institutional
Controls Registry (ICR) Web Viewer http://www.dep.state.fl.us/waste/categories/brownfields/pages/ICR.htm, to determine

Part VII – Discharge Information:

To be covered under a CGP, you must provide the following information about where the discharge from your project will
go. NOIs submitted without discharge information cannot be processed.

Item A.: If stormwater from your project discharges to a MS4 enter the name of the MS4 (e.g., City of Tallahassee MS4,
Orange County MS4, FDOT District 5 MS4, etc.). If stormwater from your project does not discharge to an MS4 but to
surface waters of the State, leave this item blank or indicate “N/A” and skip to Item B. of this part. Please note that if
your project discharges stormwater to an MS4, you must provide the MS4 operator with a copy of the completed
NOI. http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/stormwater/npdes/docs/all_ms4_by_county.pdf

Item B.: If your project discharges stormwater to surface waters of the State, and not to an MS4, enter the name of the
receiving water body to which the stormwater is discharged. Please provide the first named water body to which the
stormwater from the project is discharged (e.g., Cypress Creek, Tampa Bay, unnamed ditch to St. Johns River, Tate’s Hell
Swamp, etc.).

In certain cases, stormwater from the project will discharge to both an MS4 and surface waters of the State. In this case,
complete both Item A. and Item B.

Part VIII – Certification:

Type or print the name and official title of the Responsible Authority signing the certification. Please note that this must be
the same person indicated in Item II.G. as the Responsible Authority. Sign and date the certification.
