Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES

Division:

Division of Agricultural Water Policy

Chapter:

Best Management Practices for Florida Nursery Operations

Overview

RULE:

5M-6.002	Approved Best Management Practices
5M-6.003	Presumption of Compliance (Repealed)
5M-6.004	Notice of Intent to Implement Best Management Practices
5M-6.005	Record Keeping (Repealed)
5M-6.006	Previously Submitted Notices of Intent to Implement (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rules is to adopt by reference a revised version of the manual titled Water Quality/Quantity Best Management Practices for Florida Nurseries (April 2014 Edition, DACS-P-01267). The new edition updates language to reflect statutory changes impacting the Best Management Practices program, provides more specific direction and expectation regarding the best management practices, and removes language not related to water quality or water conservation.

SUMMARY:

The subject areas of the proposed rules are water quality and water conservation best management practices for Florida nurseries, enrollment in the program, and implementation verification site visit requirements. Proposed rule revisions require compliance with Rule Chapter 5M-1, F.A.C., and therefore language that is duplicative with Chapter 5M-1, F.A.C., is removed. Rule revisions also clarify the intent of BMP Program enrollment and checklist requirements.
