Subject:

The District proposes to amend these rules and add a new rule regarding Noticed General Permits and Individual Permits 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) program. This necessitates addressing procedural rules. The changes will address the goals of the DEP and the WMDs in streamlining the permitting process and making the permitting process less confusing for applicants. 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.
Among other topics, this rule development: 1) provides applicants who apply for a general permit an opportunity to withdraw or submit additional information and fee for individual permit before staff recommends that the Governing Board deny the permit; 2) adds that water users seeking a noticed general permit shall obtain one permit for all withdrawals that are intended to serve contiguous properties from the same irrigation infrastructure or that are operated as a common enterprise; 3) adds a general permit by rule for landscape irrigation at a single family dwelling or duplex, short-term dewatering, closed-loop systems, and pollution remediation; 4) adds a new rule regarding Noticed General Permits and Individual Permits; 5) specifies that uses with a recommended allocation which exceeds 100,000 GPD or uses within a mandatory reuse zone shall make use of a reclaimed water source; 6) changes the name of the current "Basis of Review for Water Use Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District" to "Applicant's Handbook for Water Use Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District"; and 7) includes conditions in which the duration of permit modifications and durations may be approved by letter.  
Note: Members of the District's Governing Board may attend the scheduled Rule Development Workshop. The South Florida Water Management District's draft rule language will be posted on the District's website at www.sfwmd.gov/rules, on August 1, 2013.
