Subject:	The purpose of this public meeting is to obtain public comments on the State 404 Program permit application for the proposed Bellmar development in Collier County (ST404_396364). The applicant, Collier Enterprises, applied for a State 404 permit on Dec. 28, 2020, to discharge dredge or fill material into “waters of the United States” (WOTUS). The proposed project will be located east of Golden Gate Estates, approximately 2.29 miles south of Oil Well Road (County Road 858). The proposed discharges would impact approximately 144 acres of wetlands deemed WOTUS. To offset wetland impacts, the applicant will place approximately 2,570 acres into conservation, including wetland preservation and enhancement, exotic vegetation removal, and maintenance and supplemental planting. A Public Notice for this project was issued on Aug. 16, 2022, and Nov. 6, 2023. During the public comment period provided in Rule 62-331.060, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), any interested person may submit written comments on this State 404 permit application. All comments will be considered in making the final decision, as provided in Rule 62-331.060, F.A.C.
