<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Regarding wetland maps used by DEP and EPA--
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Though National Wetlands Inventory (NWI)
maps are available from the LABINS website (and other sources like http://wetlandsfws.er.usgs.gov/NWI),
please place close attention to the cavaets-- in Florida, a formal wetland
delineation is required to determine where wetlands are and aren't for
legal and permitting purposes. FDEP's Wetland Evaluation and Delineation
Section performs Formal Wetland Delineations, and may be contacted at http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/wetlands/delineation
for more information.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">The maps available through LABINS may be
used for informational purposes only! And may not be used at all for legal
or permitting purposes. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">For the purposes of determining whether or
not a wetland is on your propoerty, an NWI map indicating the presence
of a wetland on your property may, at best, be used to determine that for
sure you need to contact FDEP or a water management district further to
have a formal wetland delineation performed. Absence on an NWI map of a
wetland on your property in no way guarantees that one isn't there nor
alleviates you from the consequences of building, filling, or other activities
without obtaining a proper permit-- only having a wetland delination performed
can provide that assurance.</font>
