SFWMD Permit No. 50-114472-P Project Location: LWDD L-30 Canal, east of Barwick Rd, west of Congress Ave Section 06 Township 46 S, Range 43 E This permit is issued by the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) pursuant to an initial application received on 8/11/2025. The application, including all plans and specifications submitted to LWDD, is by reference made a part hereof. This permit is a revocable authorization to use or occupy LWDD right-of-way, subject to the general and special conditions contained herein, which the permittee acknowledges and agrees to be bound by acceptance of this permit. Should the permittee object to any permit conditions, a request to petition the LWDD Board of Supervisors must be submitted in writing no later than 30 days from date of permit issuance. The LWDD Board of Supervisors will consider the petition at the next available Board meeting, providing the petition is received more than 10 business days prior to the next available Board meeting. All petitions should include permittee name, contact information, condition(s) being contested, and explanation of disputed items. 1.0 General Conditions 1.1 All structures and/or works located on LWDD rights-of-way constructed by permittee shall remain the property of the permittee, who shall be solely responsible for ensuring that such structures and other uses remain in good and safe condition. It is left to the sole discretion of LWDD to determine if the facilities are being properly maintained. Permittees are advised that other federal, state and local safety standards may govern the occupancy and use of the LWDD's rights-of-way. The LWDD assumes no duty with regard to ensuring that such uses are so maintained and assumes no liability with regard to injuries caused to others by any such failure. 1.2 Permittee solely acknowledges and accepts the duty and all associated responsibilities to incorporate safety features, which meet applicable engineering practice and industry standards, into the design, construction, operation and continued maintenance of the permitted facilities/authorized use. This duty shall include, but not be limited to, permittee’s consideration of LWDD’s regulation and fluctuation, without notice, of water levels in canals and works, as well as the permittee’s consideration of upgrades and modifications to the Permitted facilities/authorized use which may be necessary to meet any future changes to applicable engineering practice and accepted industry Page 2 of 5 LWDD Permit No. RW-25-0196 standards. Permittee acknowledges that LWDD’s review and issuance of this permit, including, but not limited to, any field inspections performed by LWDD, does not in any way consider or ensure that the permitted facilities/authorized use is planned, designed, engineered, constructed, or will be operated, maintained or modified to meet applicable engineering practice and accepted industry standards, or otherwise provide any safety protections. Permittee further acknowledges that any inquiries, discussions, or representations, whether verbal or written, by or with any LWDD staff or representative during the application review and permit issuance process, including, but not limited to, any field inspections, shall not in any way be relied upon by permittee as LWDD’s assumption of any duty to incorporate safety features, as set forth above, and shall also not be relied upon by permittee in order to meet permittee’s duty to incorporate safety features, as set forth above. 1.3 Permittee agrees to abide by all terms and conditions of this permit, including any representations made on the permit applications and related documents. Permittee agrees to pay all demolition, removal and restoration costs, investigative costs, court costs and reasonably attorney's fees, including appeals, resulting from any action taken by LWDD to obtain compliance with the conditions of the permit or removal of the permitted use. If legal action is taken by LWDD, "reasonable attorney's fees" is understood to mean the fair market value of the services provided, based upon what a private attorney would charge. 1.4 This permit does not create any vested rights, and except for governmental entities and utilities, is revocable at will upon 30 days prior written notice. LWDD reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions contained herein at any time and for any reason. Permittee bears all risk of loss as to monies expended in furtherance of the permitted use. Upon revocation, the permittee shall promptly modify, relocate or remove the permitted use and properly restore the right-of-way to the LWDD's satisfaction. In the event of failure to so comply within the specified time frame, LWDD may remove the permitted use and permittee shall be responsible for all removal and restoration costs. In addition, the permittee agrees and acknowledges that any failure to comply constitutes a violation of section 298.66, Florida Statutes, and LWDD may pursue any and all remedies available under law. 1.5 This permit does not convey any property rights nor any rights or privileges other than those specified herein and this permit shall not, in any way, be construed as an abandonment of any other such impairment or disposition of LWDD's property rights. The LWDD approves the permitted use only to the extent of its interest in the works of LWDD. Permittee shall obtain all other necessary federal, state, local, special district and private authorizations prior to the start of any construction or alteration authorized by this permit. Permittee shall comply with any more stringent conditions or provisions which may be set forth in other required Permits or other authorizations. However, the LWDD, assumes no duty to ensure that any such authorizations have been obtained or to protect the legal rights of the underlying fee owner, in those instances where the LWDD owns less than fee. 1.6 Unless specifically prohibited or limited by statute, permittee agrees to indemnify, defend and save the LWDD (which used herein includes LWDD and its past, present and/or future employees, agents, representatives, officers and/or Board members and any of their successors and assigns) from and against any and all lawsuits, actions, claims, demands, losses, expenses, costs, attorney’s fees, judgements and liabilities which arise from or may be related to the ownership, construction, maintenance or operation of the permitted use or the possession, utilization, maintenance, occupancy or ingress and egress of the LWDD's right-of-way which arise directly or indirectly and are caused in whole or in part by the acts, omissions or negligence of the permittee or of third parties. Permittee acknowledges that LWDD is exempt from liability for personal injury and damages that may occur as a result of permitted use or activity by virtue of Chapter 2009-258, Laws of Florida. Permittee agrees to provide legal counsel acceptable to the LWDD if requested for the defense of any such claims. 1.7 Permittee releases LWDD for any and all damages that may be caused by LWDD to the permitted use, while exercising its responsibilities and obligations of maintenance of its drainage system. The LWDD is not responsible for the repair of or claims of damage to any facilities and uses which may incur damage resulting from water fluctuations or flows, or by the use of LWDD's rights-of-way by LWDD or a third party. Improvements placed within the right-of-way are done so at the sole risk of the owner/permittee. 1.8 The LWDD is not responsible for any personal injury or property damage which may directly or indirectly result from the use of water from the LWDD canals or any activities which may include use of Page 3 of 5 LWDD Permit No. RW-25-0196 contact with water from LWDD canals, since LWDD periodically sprays its canals and/or rights-of-way for aquatic weed control purposes and uses substances which may be harmful to human health or plant life. 1.9 The LWDD does not waive sovereign immunity, per section 768.28, Florida Statutes. 1.10 As specified by LWDD, permittee shall maintain insurance coverage to the required amounts and limits throughout the duration of the permit. 1.11 The permittee shall not engage in any activity regarding the permitted use which interferes with the construction, alteration, maintenance or operation of the works of LWDD including, but not limited to: a) discharging of debris or aquatic weeds into the works of LWDD; b) causing erosion or shoaling within the works of LWDD; c) planting trees or shrubs or erecting structures which limit or prohibit access by LWDD equipment and vehicles, except as authorized by the permit; d) leaving construction or other debris on the LWDD right-of-way or waterway; e) damaging LWDD berms and levees; f) removing of LWDD owned spoil material; g) removing or damaging LWDD locks, gates, and fencing; h) opening of LWDD rights-of-way to unauthorized vehicular access; or i) running or allowing livestock on the LWDD rights-of-way. 1.12 Permittee shall allow all LWDD staff the right to inspect the permitted use at any reasonable time. 1.13 Permittee shall allow, without charge or any interference, the LWDD, its employees, agents, and contractors, to utilize the permitted facilities before, during and after construction for the purpose of conducting LWDD's routine and emergency, canal operation, maintenance, and construction activities. To the extent there is a conflicting use, the LWDD's use shall have priority over the permittee's use. 1.14 This permit is non-exclusive and revocable. Permittee shall not interfere with any other existing or future permitted uses or facilities authorized by the LWDD. 1.15 If the use involves the construction of facilities for a non-exempt water withdrawal or surface water discharge, the permittee must apply for and obtain the appropriate water management permit before or concurrently with any activities which may be conducted pursuant to this permit. 1.16 Permittee authorizes the LWDD to record the permit through filing the appropriate notice in the public records of Palm Beach County. Governmental entities and utilities are not subject to this provision. 1.17 Permittee shall be responsible for the repair or replacement of any existing facilities located within the LWDD right-of-way which are damaged as a result of construction or maintenance of the authorized facility. 1.18 If determined that the permitted use interferes with LWDD's canal maintenance, operations or rehabilitation efforts, permittee agrees that all or part of the permitted use must be removed and/or reconstructed at permittees expense. 1.19 The Permittee, assigns or successors in title shall operate and maintain the permitted facilities in perpetuity, and shall be responsible for removal of all facilities and restoration of LWDD’s right-of-way if the permit is not transferred. Permittee shall provide prior written notice to their successors in title of the permit and its terms and conditions. As the LWDD has no control over the sale or transfer of real or personal property, it is the sole obligation of a permittee to disclose the existence of an LWDD right-of- way permit, its terms and conditions to prospective purchasers. 1.20 Permittee agrees that the transfer of any rights, title or interests of the property or facility ownership referenced in this permit herein shall require a transfer of permit. Within thirty (30) days of any transfer of interest or control of the subject property, the permittee must notify the LWDD in writing of the property transfer. Notification of the transfer does not by itself constitute a permit transfer. All successors and assigns shall be required to apply for a transfer of permit with LWDD within 60 days of obtaining property or facility. LWDD shall have the right to approve in writing the successors and assigns of transfer of any rights or conditions contained in this permit, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Failure to submit a transfer of permit shall be considered a default of the terms Page 4 of 5 LWDD Permit No. RW-25-0196 and conditions of this permit and LWDD shall have the right to terminate this permit upon 10 days written notice to permittee. Failure to timely transfer the permit will necessitate Permittee, assigns or successors in title to remove all of the facilities and restore LWDD’s right-of-way. 1.21 This permit is issued by the LWDD as a license to use or occupy LWDD works or lands. It does not create any right of entitlement, either legal or equitable, to the continued use of the LWDD works or lands. Since this permit conveys no right to the continued use of the works or lands, the LWDD is under no obligation to transfer this permit to any subsequent owner. By acceptance of this permit, the permittee expressly acknowledges that the permittee bears all risks of loss as a result of the revocation of this permit. The permittee, assigns or successors shall be responsible for removal of all facilities and restoration of LWDD’s right-of-way if the permit is not transferred. 1.22 Permittee agrees that no other encroachments and/or facilities shall be located within the right-of-way without prior authorization from LWDD. 1.23 It shall be the responsibility of the permittee to locate and protect the underground facilities of the LWDD or those of others prior to and during construction. 1.24 Permittee shall take the necessary precautions to prevent turbidity and/or silting upstream or downstream during construction. 1.25 All unpermitted facilities installed prior to or during construction must be removed prior to the project’s final approval. 1.26 The permittee must make a copy of this permit available and/or post at the job site prior to and during any construction. Failure to comply may result in suspension of construction. 1.27 Permittee agrees that significant construction shall commence within one year and construction be completed within two (2) years from the date of permit issuance or the permit may terminate and a new permit application must be submitted. The new application must meet current operating policies including current applicable fees. Prior to the expiration date, the permittee may submit a request in writing for an extension of time to commence or complete construction. 1.28 Permittee or permittee’s representative shall notify the LWDD construction inspector at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to any work to be undertaken within LWDD rights-of-way. All underground installations must be inspected prior to backfilling. 1.29 No dewatering into LWDD canals is authorized until written notification of approval from South Florida Water Management District has been submitted to LWDD. 1.30 Any non-compliance by the permittee of any condition listed herein will result in the termination of this permit, removal of permitted uses or facilities at the permittees expense, and/or LWDD requesting other jurisdictional agencies to withhold their final approvals. 1.31 Permittee shall submit record drawings within sixty (60) days of project completion. Drawings shall be signed and sealed by a Florida Professional Engineer and shall include sufficient information to show that the permitted facilities have been installed or constructed in substantial compliance with the plans and design approved by the LWDD. All elevations shall be referenced to N.G.V.D. 1929 (adjusted). In lieu of signed and sealed record drawings utility cable companies may submit, within sixty (60) days of project completion, a project certification stating that the permitted facilities have been installed or constructed in substantial compliance with the plans and design approved by the LWDD. Failure of the permittee to provide these drawings or certification within the time specified may result in LWDD revoking this permit and requesting that all jurisdictional agencies withhold their final approval until the drawings are received and approved by LWDD. 1.32 Special Conditions that are specific to the project site and right-of-way usage shall be incorporated into this permit as may be necessary in the best interest of the LWDD. 2.0 Special Conditions 2.1 This permit authorizes the Installation of Modification of existing Permit No. 88-363D.05 to replace the existing Control Structure No. 3 (CS-3) and existing sixty-inch (60") CMP with a new control structure and a new sixty-inch (60") HDPE outfall pipe with riprap rock rubble extending a minimum of ten feet (10') from both sides of the outfall. Restore the canal right-of-way to the design section, fill the existing lake portion that encroaches into the L-30 right-of-way, and relocate Control Structure No. 1 (CS#1B) outside of the L-30 right-of-way as represent on plans submitted August 11, 2025, and revised plan January 12th, 2026 2.2 The permittee or authorized representative is required to schedule a mandatory, on-site preconstruction meeting at https://www.lwdd.net/48-hour-construction-notice and with LWDD Field Representative, Oscar Garcia at ogarcia@lwdd.net and 561.819.5592. 2.3 Permittee should retain the services of a licensed Professional Land Surveyor to stake the LWDD right- of-way prior to the construction/installation of any permitted facilities. LWDD retains the right to require the Permittee/Contractor to stake the LWDD right-of-way in the event of a dispute. Any constructed/installed facilities that are inconsistent with the permitted plans will be required to be removed from the LWDD right-of-way and the LWDD right-of-way restored at the Permittee’s expense. LWDD will not allow incorrectly installed facilities to remain within the LWDD right-of-way. 2.4 The Permittee is responsible for performing a higher degree of canal right-of-way maintenance as recorded in Maintenance Agreement ORB 2944, Page 1528. 2.5 Any existing above-ground encroachments, including but not limited to trees or other vegetation within LWDD rights-of-way, shall not be replaced within LWDD. They should instead be planted outside of the LWDD L-29 and L-30 rights-of-way. 2.6 The Permittee shall provide a report to LWDD every five (5) years, prepared, signed, and sealed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Florida, addressing the structural integrity of all culvert crossings and/or bridges within the project limits and within the L‑29 right-of-way, including the existing culverts under Summit Drive and Estate Drive. 2.7 The permittee will be responsible for the removal of any silt and/or sediment as indicated in the pipe inspection report. 2.8 The permittee shall be responsible for any washouts or erosion of the L-29 & L-30 canal banks caused by the permitted structures. 2.9 The permittee shall ensure that sheet no flow from site is directed into LWDD R/W. 2.10 Pursuant to the approved plans, the permittee shall reconstruct canal(s) to approved design section along and adjacent to the project’s limits, including clearing and proper sloping of the maintenance berms. The cleared canal berms and side slopes shall be stabilized. The type of stabilization shall be approved by LWDD. This construction shall be completed prior to any building activity adjacent to LWDD rights-of-way. Please be advised that any fill material scheduled to be removed from the canal may not be relied on for site work. 2.11 Pursuant to the approved plans, the emergency control type structure(s) shall remain closed at all times unless specific written approval is granted by LWDD for its operation. At no time, shall the structure(s) be operated to bypass the water quality detention requirements for the project or to lower the lake levels below the permitted control elevation for the project. If for whatever reason it is determined that the permittee is not complying with the directives of the LWDD, and/or is operating the structure(s) contrary to their intended purpose as an emergency outflow, the structure(s) shall be modified by LWDD to render the emergency structure(s) inoperable. In addition, the emergency structure(s) shall be equipped with a lock mechanism to prevent its unauthorized use, and a staff gauge shall be installed upstream of the structure(s) so that lake levels within the project can be quickly determined. By accepting this permit, the permittee and/or assigns agree to allow LWDD to ingress/egress and render the emergency portion of the structure(s) inoperable for non-compliance or to prevent potential or actual unacceptable adverse impacts. 2.12 At the time of installation, a permanent benchmark shall be established at 2nd order, class II or better on top of the control structure(s) with the elevation clearly defined, pursuant to the National Geodetic Survey standards and requirements for leveling. 2.13 Where improvements are erected on lots or parcels contiguous to LWDD canals, the permittee shall install gutters and downspouts eliminating surplus water overland flow, assuring the route of said water into the on-site drainage facility and/or storm sewer system. 2.14 All underground utility installations in LWDD rights-of-way must have a minimum depth (cover) of thirty-six inches (36”) unless an alternate design is approved. All underground utilities placed within LWDD’s canal rights-of-way must be identified with LWDD approved permanent witness markers identifying utility type and location. 2.15 Permittee agrees that the stormwater discharge authorized by this permit shall comply with all applicable provisions of Part IV of Chapter 373, Florida Statutes, as well as applicable management and storage of surface water rules pursuant to current Chapter 62-330, Florida Administrative Code. All costs of correcting any violations shall be the exclusive obligation of permittee. 2.16 The permittee, LWDD approved assignees, and/or successors in title agree to operate and maintain the system/facility in perpetuity, including correction of any damages caused as a result of this installation. Pursuant to General Conditions of this permit, the permittee agrees that the transfer of any rights, title or interests of the property or facility ownership referenced in this permit herein shall require a transfer of this permit 2.17 In the event it becomes necessary for LWDD to expand or further utilize its facilities within its right-of- way, the permittee shall after reasonable notice (the same not to exceed sixty (60) days), effect such removal of the permitted facility as LWDD may reasonably require from time to time so as to allow and not delay LWDD canal or right-of-way improvements and further, the permittee shall maintain in good safe operating condition the facility permitted and involved herein. 2.18 Permittee may, at its sole expense, modify the facility involved and installed herein under the condition that same does not unreasonably interfere with LWDD’s use of its right-of-way and under the condition that the plans and specifications for such modification have been permitted by LWDD through application of a permit modification. 2.19 It shall be the responsibility of the permittee or permittee's contractor(s) installing the above described facility to maintain the continuous uninterrupted free flow of water in the canal. It shall further be the duty of the Permittee to obtain the approval of LWDD for any construction methods, which would be contrary to the above. The permittee shall also be responsible for the installation of silt screens and/or turbidity barriers as necessary to maintain the clarity of the water. PERMITTEE’S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH WRITTEN NOTICE OF A VIOLATION OF THE CONDITIONS OF THIS PERMIT SHALL, AFTER FIVE (5) WORKING DAYS, AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE VOID THIS PERMIT, BUT NOT THE PERMITTEE’S LIABILITY INVOLVED HEREIN. ANY BOND CONDITIONED BY THIS PERMIT SHALL BE UTILIZED FOR THE RESTORATION OF ANY DAMAGES DONE TO THE CANAL RIGHT-OF-WAY BY THE PERMITTEE OR THE PERMITTEE’S CONTRACTOR(S). 2.20 This permit is issued based on the applicant’s submitted information which reasonably demonstrates that no adverse water resource related impacts will be caused by the completed permit activity. Should it be determined that adverse impacts caused by the completed surface water management system have taken place, including the discharge of nutrient concentrations to canals that cause an imbalance in natural populations of aquatic flora and fauna, then LWDD shall require the permittee to develop a source control plan [i.e. consisting of chemical treatment and/or implementation of best management practices (BMPs)]. Additionally, LWDD may require the permittee to modify the permit in order to implement components of the source control plan. 2.21 Permittee shall submit record drawings within sixty (60) days of project completion. Drawings should show, as a minimum, both plan and elevation views of the installation, with low member elevation(s), and revetment limits, dimensions and details, if applicable. Failure by the Permittee to provide these drawings within the time specified may result in the LWDD requesting that all jurisdictional agencies withhold their final approvals until the drawings are received and approved by LWDD. Failure to provide record drawings within the time specified herein shall result in the permit being revoked. 2.22 Permittee shall restore LWDD’s right-of-way to its original or better condition where disturbed by construction activity and any expenses incurred in connection therewith.
