SUBJECT: Permit Number 40-061-98242-1
Gables at Sebastian
Dear Sir/Madam:
Enclosed is your general permit as authorized by the staff of the St. Johns River Water
Management District on September 19, 2005.
This permit is a legal document and should be kept with your other important documents. The
attached MSSW/Stormwater As -Built Certification Form should be filled in and returned to the
Palatka office within thirty days after the work is completed. By so doing, you will enable us to
schedule a prompt inspection of the permitted activity.
In addition to the MSSW/Stormwater As -Built Certification Form, your permit also contains
conditions which require submittal of additional information. All information submitted as
compliance to permit conditions must be submitted to the Palatka office address.
Permit issuance does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining permits from any
federal, state and/or local agencies asserting concurrent jurisdiction for this work.
Please be advised that the District has not published a notice in the newspaper advising the
public that it is issuing a permit for this proposed project. Publication, using the District form,
notifies members of the public (third parties) of their rights to challenge the issuance of the
general permit. If proper notice is given by publication, third parties have a 21 -day time limit on
the time they have to file a petition opposing the issuance of the permit. If you do not publish, a
party's right to challenge the issuance of the general permit extends for an indefinite period of
time. If you wish to have certainty that the period for filing such a challenge is closed, then you
may publish, at your own expense, such a notice in a newspaper of general circulation. A copy
of the form of the notice and a list of newspapers of general circulation is attached for your use.
In the event you sell your property, the permit will be transferred to the new owner, if we are
notified by you within thirty days of the sale and if you provide the information required by 40C-
1.612, F.A.C. Please assist us in this matter so as to maintain a valid permit for the new
property owner.

CONDITIONS FOR ISSUANCE OF PERMIT NUMBER 40-061-98242-1
BEST HOUSING, INC.
DATED SEPTEMBER 19, 2005
1. All activities shall be implemented as set forth in the plans, specifications and performance
criteria as approved by this permit. Any deviation from the permitted activity and the
conditions for undertaking that activity shall constitute a violation of this permit.
2. This permit or a copy thereof, complete with all conditions, attachments, exhibits, and
modifications, shall be kept at the work site of the permitted activity. The complete permit
shall be available for review at the work site upon request by District staff. The permittee
shall require the contractor to review the complete permit prior to commencement of the
activity authorized by this permit.
3. Activities approved by this permit shall be conducted in a manner which do not cause
violations of state water quality standards.
4. Prior to and during construction, the permittee shall implement and maintain all erosion and
sediment control measures (best management practices) required to retain sediment on-site
and to prevent violations of state water quality standards. All practices must be in
accordance with the guidelines and specifications in chapter 6 of the Florida Land
Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management (Florida Department
of Environmental Regulation 1988), which are incorporated by reference, unless a project
specific erosion and sediment control plan is approved as part of the permit, in which case
the practices must be in accordance with the plan. If site specific conditions require
additional measures during any phase of construction or operation to prevent erosion or
control sediment, beyond those specified in the erosion and sediment control plan, the
permittee shall implement additional best management practices as necessary, in
accordance with the specifications in chapter 6 of the Florida Land Development Manual: A
Guide to Sound Land and Water Management (Florida Department of Environmental
Regulation 1988). The permittee shall correct any erosion or shoaling that causes adverse
impacts to the water resources.
5. Stabilization measures shall be initiated for erosion and sediment control on disturbed areas
as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily
or permanently ceased, but in no case more than 7 days after the construction activity in
that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased.
6. At least 48 hours prior to commencement of activity authorized by this permit, the permittee
shall submit to the District a Construction Commencement Notice Form No. 40C-4.900(3)
indicating the actual start date and the expected completion date.
7. When the duration of construction will exceed one year, the permittee shall submit
construction status reports to the District on an annual basis utilizing an Annual Status
Report Form No. 40C-4.900(4). These forms shall be submitted during June of each year.
8. For those systems which will be operated or maintained by an entity which will require an
easement or deed restriction in order to provide that entity with the authority necessary to
operate or maintain the system, such easement or deed restriction, together with any other
final operation or maintenance documents as are required by subsections 7. 1.1 through
7.1.4 of the Applicant's Handbook: Management and Storage of Surface Waters, must be

easements and other operation and maintenance documents which require recordation
either with the Secretary of State or the Clerk of the Circuit Court must be so recorded prior
to lot or unit sales within the project served by the system, or upon completion of
construction of the system, whichever occurs first. For those systems which are proposed to
be maintained by county or municipal entities, final operation and maintenance documents
must be received by the District when maintenance and operation of the system is accepted
by the local governmental entity. Failure to submit the appropriate final documents
referenced in this paragraph will result in the permittee remaining liable for carrying out
maintenance and operation of the permitted system.
9. Each phase or independent portion of the permitted system must be completed in
accordance with the permitted plans and permit conditions prior to the initiation of the
permitted use of site infrastructure located within the area served by the portion or phase of

other responsible entity.
10. Within 30 days after completion of construction of the permitted system, or independent
portion of the system, the permittee shall submit a written statement of completion and
certification by a registered professional engineer or other appropriate individual as
authorized by law, utilizing As Built Certification Form 40C-1.181(13) or 40C-1.181(14)

permitted plans, any substantial deviations shall be noted and explained and two copies of
as -built drawings submitted to the District. Submittal of the completed from shall serve to
notify the District that the system is ready for inspection. The statement of completion and
certification shall be based on on-site observation of construction (conducted by the
registered professional engineer, or other appropriate individual as authorized by law, or
under his or her direct supervision) or review of as -built drawings for the purpose of
determining if the work was completed in compliance with approved plans and
specifications. As -built drawings shall be the permitted drawings revised to reflect any
changes made during construction. Both the original and any revised specifications must be
clearly shown. The plans must be clearly labeled as "as -built" or "record" drawing. All
surveyed dimensions and elevations shall be certified by a registered surveyor. The
following information, at a minimum, shall be verified on the as -built drawings:

system to be in compliance with the permitted plans, and the entity approved by the District
in accordance with subsections 7.1.1 through 7.1.4 of the Applicant's Handbook:
Management and Storage of Surface Waters, accepts responsibility for operation and
maintenance of the system. The permit may not be transferred to such an approved
operation and maintenance entity until the operation phase of the permit becomes effective.
Following inspection and approval of the permitted system by the District, the permittee shall
request transfer of the permit to the responsible approved operation and maintenance entity,
if different from the permittee. Until the permit is transferred pursuant to section 7.1 of the
Applicant's Handbook: Management and Storage of Surface Waters, the permittee shall be
liable for compliance with the terms of the permit.
12. Should any other regulatory agency require changes to the permitted system, the permittee
shall provide written notification to the District of the changes prior implementation so that a
determination can be made whether a permit modification is required.
13. This permit does not eliminate the necessity to obtain any required federal, state, local and
special district authorizations prior to the start of any activity approved by this permit. This
permit does not convey to the permittee or create in the permittee any property right, or any
interest in real property, nor does it authorize any entrance upon or activities on property

permit shall remain liable for any corrective actions that may be required as a result of any
permit violations prior to such sale, conveyance or other transfer.
17. Upon reasonable notice to the permittee, District authorized staff with proper identification
shall have permission to enter, inspect, sample and test the system to insure conformity with
the plans and specifications approved by the permit.

amended on July 11, 2005.
24. The stormwater management system must be inspected by the operation and maintenance

14 days of that inspection the entity shall submit an Exceptions Report on form number 40C-
42.900(6), Exceptions Report for Stormwater Management System Out of Compliance. The
operation and maintenance entity must maintain a record of each required inspection,
