Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

Division:

Suwannee River Water Management District

Chapter:

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE PERMITS

Overview

RULE:

40B-400.091

Publications and Agreements Incorporated by Reference

PURPOSE:

In addition to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) rulemaking set forth in Section 5 of Chapter 2020-150, Laws of Florida, to update the stormwater design and operation regulations adopted under Section 373.4131, F.S., the purpose of this Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD) rulemaking is to remove documents incorporated by reference that are not referred to in the rule text; and to eliminate the requirement to analyze the 100-year frequency of the 3-day, 7-day, and 10-day storm durations for stormwater systems, and add clarifying rule language to SRWMD’s Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook Volume II. The effect will be more streamlined and understandable rules, stormwater design criteria that are more consistent with other water management districts, and reduced regulatory burdens.
