There are no proposed wetland or other surface water impacts. Upon completion of mining, approximately 17 acres of Pine Flatwoods (FLUCCS 411) and approximately 12.72 acres of lakes (FLUCCS 523) shall be reclaimed. Additionally, there is an approximately 10.21-acre Yard Trash Disposal facility, separately permitted, within the permit boundary of the mine. Totaling approximately 39.93 acre, the total permit boundary. The project is in the Yellow River basin, Class III waters, Okaloosa County, Section: 01, Township: 2 North, Range: 23 West.

S. , before the deadline for filing a petition. On the filing of a timely and sufficient petition, this action will not be final and effective until further order of the Department. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the hearing process may result in a modification of the agency action or even denial of the application. Therefore, on the filing of a timely and sufficient petition, this action will not be final and effective until further order of the Department. The application file is available online and can be accessed through the Department's Information Portal at https://depedms.dep.state.fl.us:443/Oculus/servlet/shell?command=hitlist&[freeText=]&[folderName=]&[profile=Permitting Authorization]&[creator=]&[entityType=any]&[createdDateTo=]& [ catalog=26]&[searchBy=Profile ]&[sortBy=Document+Date ]&[ createdDate= ]& { County= EOOKALOOSA}&{District= EO NWD}&{Facility-Site+ID= EO MMR295187}&{Application+Number= EO 0295187001} If you have any questions or are experiencing difficulty viewing the electronic application, please email to MiningAndMitigation@dep.state.fl.us.

S. , or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with rule 28-106.205, F. A.
