ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE PERMITS

Overview

RULE:

40B-400.091

Publications and Agreements Incorporated by Reference

PURPOSE:

In conjunction with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the District is initiating rulemaking in accordance with Section 5 of Chapter 2020-150, Laws of Florida, to update the stormwater design and operation regulations adopted under Section 373.4131, F.S., including updates to the Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook Volume II, using the most recent scientific information available.

SUBJECT:

The District will develop amendments to update stormwater design and operation regulations.  Amendments will consider and address low-impact design best management practices and design criteria that increase the removal of nutrients from stormwater discharges and reduce flooding impacts due to stormwater discharge, require emergency action plans for dams, and incorporate measures for consistent application of the net improvement performance standard to ensure significant reductions of any pollutant loadings to a waterbody. Amendments will also remove references to county-specific FEMA flood maps. The rulemaking pursuant to this notice is expected to include amendments to Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook Volume II, and incorporation by reference of the amended Handbook into rule 40B-400.091, F.A.C.
