The Florida Power Plant Siting Act (PPSA), ss. 403.501-.518, Florida Statues (F.S.), is the State's process for the licensing of large power plants. https://floridadep.gov/air/siting-coordination-office/content/conditions-certification. A certification constitutes the sole license of the state and any agency as to the approval of the location of the site and any associated facility, as well as the construction and operation of the electrical power plant, except for the issuance of licenses required under any federally delegated or approved permit program and any other exemptions provided in 403.511(4), F.S. The PPSA was designed to provide a streamlined process for the development of energy infrastructure, which is necessary for the health, welfare, and protection of the citizens of the state, while protecting the public and the environment from the impacts of the infrastructure. While most facilities need to get any number of permits or approvals from local and state agencies, large power plants in the State are treated differently. All local and state permits or approvals are pre-empted, and only one license is issued, called a "certification". However, all of the local governments or state agencies within whose jurisdiction the power plant is to be certified participate in the process, to assure that the issues normally subject to regulatory approval or other authorizations are addressed. Therefore, the PPSA is a centralized licensing process encompassing the permitting, land use and zoning, and property interests of all state, regional, and local agencies which have jurisdiction over an area where an electrical power plant is or potentially will be located. The FDEP Siting Coordination Office (SCO) coordinates the review and certification of power plant, transmission line, and natural gas pipeline projects pursuant to the Florida Siting Acts. Certification is an umbrella permit for all affected state, regional and local agencies and includes any regulatory activity which would be applicable under these agencies regulations for the facility. It is a life-of-the-facility approval, authorizing construction, operation and maintenance of the facility... 20171115 Date of the last update in the GIS library.
