Silviculture BMP Development
First Developed in the mid-1970’sIn 1991 a BMP Technical Advisory Committee (pg. 1) was Established to Review & Revise BMPs Silviculture BMPs Revised in 1993, 2000, 2003, 2008, & 2011Note: Each BMP Manual Revision is Associated with a Different Color Spiral

So We Know Silviculture BMPs Are Being Used and
Are Essential to Good Land Stewardship, But What Are
The Consequences if a Forest Landowner Doesn’t
Follow Them?

State Water Quality Standards Violations
Violations are regulated by DEP, Water Management Districts, and some local governments.
Violations can result in LARGE Fines and Stop Work Orders
Also a potential backlash during the TMDL process for impaired watersheds.

Adoption of the Silviculture BMP Manual into Florida Administrative Code Occurred on February 11, 2004
Protects Forestry Operations Under the Right to Farm ActProvides Forest Landowners the Opportunity to Receive a Presumption of Compliance with State Water Quality Standards

To Be Eligible for the ‘Presumption of Compliance’ Under Rule 5I-6 F.A.C. the Forest Landowner Must:
Submit a Notice of Intent to Use BMPs Form to DOF (one time submission for the property, until ownership changes)Implement BMPs on ALL of your Forestry OperationsMaintain “Records” to Verify BMP Compliance
‘Presumption of Compliance’

BMP Notice of Intent
Submission is Voluntary for Landowners – But if Not Submitted then they do Not Qualify for the Presumption of Compliance with State Water Quality Standards even if Silviculture BMPs are FollowedCurrently Over 5.3 Million Acres of Private Non-Industrial, Industrial, and Public Lands are Signed Up
