The Department of Environmental Protection will bring to the ERC proposed amendments to Rule 62-302.540, F.A.C., for approval to adopt those rule revisions.  The Department is proposing to amend Rule 62-302.540, F.A.C., to 1) delete those portions of the Rule necessary to ensure consistency with USEPA’s Clean Water Act determination on the existing rule, as well as state and federal laws, and 2) amend paragraph (5)(a) to clearly reflect the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit issued in 2012 to the South Florida Water Management District for discharges to the Everglades Protection Area.  In addition to this ERC hearing notice, a change to the originally proposed revison of paragraph (5)(a) is separately being published as a Notice of Change in this issue of the Florida Administrative Register, and is included in the rule text below.  The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for this rule was published in the September 17, 2010 issue of the Florida Administrative Register (Vol. 36, No. 37).  Petitions for administrative hearing were filed with the Division of Administrative Hearings to challenge the proposed rule.  Those proceedings remain pending.
