PROJECT LOCATION The activities authorized by this permit and sovereignty submerged lands authorization are located at 399 Riverside Boulevard, St. Augustine, Florida 32080, Parcel 1828480000, in Section 22, Township 8 South, Range 30 East in St. Johns County, at latitude 29 47 16.2000 North, longitude -81 16 1.2002 West. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The permittee is authorized to construct a 1,234 square foot dock and stormwater management system associated with improvements to the existing public park and boat ramp and dock within the landward extent and waters of the Matanzas River, a Class II Florida Waterbody. Those activities include the construction of a dock consisting of an existing 6-foot by 79-foot fixed access pier leading to a new 4-foot by 30-foot gangway and a new 8-foot by 80-foot floating dock, which cumulatively preempt 1,156 square feet of sovereignty state-owned submerged lands within the waters of the Matanzas River, a Class II Florida Waterbody. The improvements to the existing public park include the expansion of the existing drive and parking, and replacement of the gravel drive with paved drive. The total project area is 3.91-acre, of which 2.38 acres are impervious areas including existing and proposed ones. Stormwater runoff will be conveyed through site grading, inlets, and pipes to two dry retention ponds (SWMF-1 and SWMF-2), which will be connected and controlled by a control structure in SWMF-1. The retention ponds will provide stormwater treatment and peak discharge attenuation. Excess runoff will be discharged through the top of grate (elevation 4.10 feet NAVD 88) of the control structure followed by a 153-ft long, 18-inch diameter discharge line into the Intracoastal Waterway near kayak launch. SWMF-1 is in the center of the park, in irregular shape, and surrounded by parking lots. It will be 0.303-acre at the top with elevation 4.25 feet NAVD88, and 0.190-acre at the bottom with elevation 2.75 feet. SWMF-2 is in the northwest of the park. It will be 0.114-acre at the top with elevation 4.25 feet NAVD88, and 0.070-acre at the bottom with elevation 2.75 feet. Both ponds side slopes are 4H:1V.
