State Programmatic General Permit V-R1

The State Programmatic General Permit V-R1 (SPGP V-R1) is a collaborative permitting framework established between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). It streamlines the federal authorization process for specific minor activities in Florida's waters, such as shoreline stabilization, boat ramps, docks, derelict vessel removal, and scientific devices. By aligning state and federal requirements, the SPGP V-R1 reduces duplication and expedites project approval, allowing qualified applicants to receive joint verification from FDEP and the Corps. This approach ensures compliance with both state and federal regulations, enhancing efficiency in environmental permitting.
