Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Chapter:

INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER FACILITIES

Overview

RULE:

62-660.820	General Permit for Fish Farms (Repealed)
62-660.821	General Permit for Marine Bivalve Facilities (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to repeal rules identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.

SUMMARY:

Rules 62-660.820 and 62-660.821, , F.A.C., are older rules that create general permits for construction and operation of fish farms and marine bivalves (aquaculture facilities). The Department of Environmental Protection no longer has statutory authority for these general permits. Pursuant to Sections 597.004 and 403.0885(5), F.S., the authority to regulate aquaculture activities has transferred to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumers Services (FDACS). These types of facilities are now covered under FDACS Aquaculture Certification.
OTHER RULES INCORPORATING THIS RULE: Rule 62-660.820 is referenced in paragraph 62-344.500(2)(g), F.A.C. Rule 62-660.821 is referenced in Rule 62-344.500, F.A.C.
EFFECT ON THOSE OTHER RULES: Repeal of Rules 62-660.820 and 62-660.821, F.A.C., is not expected to have any effect on Rules 62-344.500 and 62-341.602, F.A.C., because fish farms are now covered under the FDACS Aquaculture Certification. However these citations will need to be corrected.
