PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect of the proposed rule will be to: (1) update and properly incorporate references to the rules and forms of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP); (2) clarify existing rules; and (3) streamline the permitting process and reduce regulatory burdens while protecting water resources. Part of the streamlining will include the creation of 40C-3.042 to allow a single water well construction permit for multiple wells. The District also plans to repeal 40C-3.507.

SUBJECT:

The proposed rule amendments would update and incorporate references to FDEP’s rules and forms, update references to rules and titles within Chapter 40C-3, and clarify existing rules.  The proposed rule amendments would also streamline the permitting process and reduce the regulatory burden on water well contruction permit applicants by authorizing the issuance of one permit to construct, repair, or abandon certain types of multiple well systems and exempting specific types of wells constructed to shallow depths that are used for a short duration to obtain shallow soil or water information.
