| Through a Specific Operating
Agreement (SOA) with the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP), Air Quality/Storage Tank Management (AQ/STM)
has received air pollution permitting delegation.
Staff review applications for
which authority has been delegated. Staff then determines
whether a source is exempt from permitting, issued a permit, or
denied a permit.
Technical reviews and permits are
drafted and issued by AQ/STM. AQ/STM does not issue Title V
General permits. AQ/STM inspects all permitted facilities,
whether DEP or AQ/STM permits, for compliance once per year.

Permitting and Regulation
The Biosolids Program
issues permits to land owners that receive biosolids on their

The program is responsible for
compliance and enforcement of state laws and local ordinances
and monitors and tracks biosolid application within the county.

Carlton Water Use
Permit Monitoring
The Carlton Water Use
Permit monitoring program was designed to detect any potential
impact resulting from groundwater withdrawal from the
Intermediate and Floridan aquifers for potable water for
Sarasota County residents.
The monitoring program examines
the groundwater levels and groundwater quality, as well as
rainfall, evapotranspiration, wetland vegetation, forest canopy,
organic soils and surface water flow.
Staff also monitors the long-term
effects through aerial photography. All data is analyzed and
summarized in an annual report submitted to the Southwest
Florida Water Management District.
