Dear Sir/Madam:

This is your notification that the St. Johns River Water Management District (District) has received the
consumptive use permit application(s) listed below.

Individual Consumptive Use Permit Application(s)

Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast, Naval Air Station Bldg 903, PO Box 30, Jacksonville, FL 32212, application #589. This is a renewal of an existing permit. The applicant is requesting to withdraw 1.75 million gallons per day of groundwater for commercial and industrial use, golf course use, recreation area use, and household type use to supply an estimated population of 12,000. The withdrawals used by this proposed project will consist of surface water from Lake Wonderwood via 1 active pump; groundwater from FAS - Upper Floridan Aquifer via 4 active wells in Duval County, located in Section: 5, Township: 2 South, Range: 29 East, known as Naval Station Mayport.

The file(s) containing the permit application(s) are available for inspection Monday through Friday, except for District holidays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the District's Headquarters, 4049 Reid St., Palatka, FL 32177-2529. You may also view files at one of the District's service centers, but you should call service center staff in advance to make sure that the files are at a specific service center. Service center contact information is available online at:

Decisions on Standard General permit applications will be made at the District's service center where the application is processed, unless the application is upgraded to an Individual permit application as explained below. A substantial objection to a Standard General consumptive use permit application must be made in writing and filed with (received by) the Director of Regulatory Support, P.O. Box 1429, Palatka, FL 32178-1429, or by e-mail at applicationsupport@sjrwmd.com, within 14 days of notification of the application. Please include either the Permit Application Number or the Project Name in the objection. Notification of the application is the date on which the notice was e-mailed to you (not the date you open it). A "substantial objection" means a written statement directed to the District that identifies the objector, concerns hydrologic or environmental impacts of the proposed consumptive use, and relates to applicable rule criteria. A timely substantial objection will cause the Standard General consumptive use permit application to be considered an application for an Individual consumptive use permit. If the District receives a timely substantial objection from you, then you will receive written notice of the District's intended decision on the permit application.

Decisions on Individual consumptive use permit applications will be made by the District's Governing
Board. Notice of Intended District Decision will be provided to persons who have requested individual
notice.
