RE: Uniform Waterway Marker Permit
PERMIT 20-068 CFR 922.163
Dear Mr. Enquist:
This is in reference to your request for assistance in obtaining the required permits to place
uniform waterway markers to clearly delineate the 100-yard idle speed only zones adjacent to
your residential shoreline. On your behalf, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
(FKNMS) has obtained the required permits to allow the installation of 10 uniform waterway
markers and 2 signs at the locations specified in the attached permit documents. The USACOE,
State of Florida! Office of Enforcement Planning and Policy, Division of Law Enforcement and
DEP has approved this permit for uniform waterway markers under Sanctuary Regulation Part
922.163 no-wake idle speed within 100 yards (300 feet) of a residential shoreline.
It will be the responsibility of the homeowner to make arrangements with a licensed and insured
contractor for uniform waterway marker installation(s) and payment of services. Furthermore it
will remain the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain and replace any lost or damaged
markers under this permit for your area. Failure to maintain and/or replace uniform waterway
markers may result in revocation of this permit.
In electing to move forward with the contracting and installation of the markers, you will work
with the contractor to adhere to the terms and conditions specified in this permit. Conditions
include, but are not limited to: provisions for taking precautions to avoid harming manatees
during construction activity; installing the markers in accordance with the prescribed
specifications; and the reporting and correcting of any discrepancies of any marker(s) in a timely
manner. Please review the permits carefully before committing to an installation contractor.
FKNMS reserves the right to have an observer(s) on location during all activities authorized by
this permit. The FKNMS Observer(s) may document the activities and actual site of installation
for each marker to confirm the accuracy of the marker spacing and positioning and to allow for
an assessment of potential physical resource damage. All permitted activities are to be conducted
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit and the applicable statute and
regulations. The FKNMS Observer(s) will not be present for the purpose of safety, nor for the
purpose of approval of activities not specifically authorized by this permit. You may elect to
I!!l'~S(9A
arrange for Mr. John Halas, Resource Manager (305) 852-7717 x34 to meet with a contractor of
your choosing prior to effecting any installations for a site survey. It is incumbent upon you to
select and employ a contractor capable of constructing and installing the regulatory markers in
accordance with the specifications prescribed by FKNMS and attached to this letter. Uniform
waterway markers must be installed using embedment type anchors approved by FKNMS to
assure the stability of the system. Markers shall be set at approximately one tenth of a mile apart
(600 feet). FKNMS reserves the right to inspect the markers prior to, during, and after
installation. Any required corrections found necessary based upon these inspections will be your
responsibility to have corrected.
The permittee shall notify FKNMS Upper Region office at least 24 hours in advance when
work has been scheduled with an installation contractor.
Also within 24 hours it is the responsibility of the permittee to report to the FKNMS Upper
Region office of the successful completion of the marker installation(s).
Under the requirements of the State of Florida, Office of Enforcement Planning and Policy,
Division of Law Enforcement, Uniform Waterway Markers must comply with these
specifications: markers must be of white reflective background with an international orange
border and geometric symbol. Characters must be black block at least 3" in height. Markers
must extend a minimum of 36" above the waterline. Each marker must also be identified with
the proper permit number by division (see below). Permit numbers must be firmly affixed to
the lower portion of each marker in black block no smaller than 1" in height.
There are three divisions of the FKNMS; Upper, Middle and Lower Regions, which will be
identified by permit number:
PERMIT 20-055 CFR 922.163
The Upper Region permit area begins at Angelfish Creek in the northern shoreward end of the
Sanctuary and extends down to the Long Key Viaduct.
PERMIT 20-068 CFR 922.163
The Middle Region begins southward from the Long Key Viaduct and extends to Spanish
Harbor, a point just before Big Pine Key.
PERMIT 20-069 CFR 922.163
The Lower Region permit area begins southward at Spanish Harbor and covers the remaining
portion of residential shoreline within the southern boundaries of the FKNMS.
All persons associated with the project shall be instructed of the potential presence of manatees
and the need to avoid collisions with manatees. All construction personnel are responsible for
observing water-related activities for the presence of manatees.
There are civil and criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing manatees which are
protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, the Endangered Species Act of
1973, and the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act of 1978. The permittee and/or the contractor may
be held responsible for any manatee harmed, harassed or killed as a result of construction
activities.
All vessels associated with the project shall operate at "no-wake/idle speeds at all times while in
water where the draft of the vessel provides less than four feet clearance from the bottom and
those vessels shall follow routes of deep water whenever possible.
If a manatee is sighted within 100 yards of the project area, all appropriate precautions shall be
implemented by you/the contractor to ensure protection of the manatee. These precautions shall
include the operation of all moving equipment no closer that 50-feet of a manatee. Operations of
any equipment closer than 50-feet of a manatee shall necessitate immediate shutdown of that
equipment. Activities will not resume until the manatee(s) have departed that project area of its
own volition.
Any collision with and/or injury to a manatee shall be reported immediately to the "Manatee
Hotline"at 1-,800--DIAL-FMP (18_88-342-2580). Collision and/orinjury should also be reported
to the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service in Jacksonville (1904-232-2580) for North Florida 01 Veto
Beach (1561-562-3909) in South Florida.
To report permit activities or for questions please contact Brenda Altmeier directly at (305) 852-
7717 x22 or Mr. John Halas x34.
We hope that the costs and effort associated with the installation of these shoreline markers will
be of benefit in habituating vessel operators to the idle speed zones off your shoreline. Please let
us know if we can be of further assistance in your planning forthis project.
Sincerely,
-",.".~y-.,~:/ 5;7 .
