Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) All Applications - Works of the District Permits (WOD 40E-63)

The Regulatory Program (Chapter 40E-63) implements requirements of the Everglades Forever Act (EFA), sec.373.4592(4)(f)5 and 6, F.S., for the C-139 Basin, and also provides a regulatory process for landowners whose water management systems connect with and make use of the canals, structures and other Works of the District within the C-139 Basin, in accordance with sec. 373.085, F.S. Works of the District are issued for areas in South Florida under the jurisdiction of South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). An Everglades Works of the District (EWOD) Permit is required for the landowners or entities within or discharging to drainage basins in the EAA Basin that ultimately drain to the Everglades. Generally all lands are required to apply for an EWOD Permit. An EWOD Permit is an approval of a best management practices (BMPs) plan, and of a discharge (water quality and quantity) monitoring plan where applicable. The specific Works of the District (WOD) regulatory program responsibilities include verifying implementation of the BMPs required under the permit, ensuring that the discharge monitoring plans and resulting data are reasonably representative of the permitted basins, ensuring compliance with WOD permit conditions, and assessing that the EAA is in compliance with the Everglades Forever Act reduction of 25% of Total Phosphorus load in comparison to a baseline period before the WOD regulatory program was in place. In order to obtain a permit, EAA landowners submit applications including a BMP Plan and discharge monitoring plan for each hydrologic unit included within the permit (a Permit Basin), a description of land uses and crops, parcel ownership, and a description of their water management system. Applications for renewal are submitted every five years. This application boundary is digitized into GIS Application Arc Map for the county in which the application is located in. Once the application has been reviewed and issued, the application becomes a permit with a permit number.
