DATE AND TIME:

PLACE:

Subject:

The District proposes to amend and repeal rules as part of a statewide effort headed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and joined by all water management districts (WMDs), to increase consistency in the consumptive use permitting (CUP), minimum flows and levels, and water supply related programs. Procedural issues will also be addressed. The rules will be developed in coordination with DEP and the other WMDs. The changes will address the goals of the DEP an the WMDs, including: 1) making the consumptive use permitting program less confusing for applicants, particularly for those who work in more than one District; 2) treating applicants equitably statewide; 3) providing consistent protection of the environment; 4) streamlining the permitting process; and 5) incentivizing behavior that protects water resources, including conservation. Additional information about the statewide CUP consistency initiative and this rulemaking process is available at DEP's website at: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/waterpolicy/cupcon.htm. 
The South Florida Water Management District's draft rule language will be posted on the District's website at www.sfwmd.gov/rules, after May 1, 2013.
