PURPOSE:

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is proposing amendments to Chapter 62-620, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), to revise rule forms contained in Rule 62-620.910, F.A.C. DEP agreed in its current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/DEP Performance Plan Agreement to update DEP forms related to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to include all data required for current EPA NPDES wastewater forms. Form revisions also include updates to provide consistency with revisions made to other Department rules in recent years. Existing form adoption and incorporation language for all forms will be updated to be consistent with the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee (JAPC) requirements. The rule revisions update the adoption and incorporation language for DEP Forms in Rules 62-620.100, .310, .325, .340, .410, .610, .620, .625, .630, and .910, F.A.C. These proposed rule revisions were originally noticed December 23, 2025, in Vol. 51, No. 247, Florida Administrative Register, and a Notice of Withdrawal was published August 11, 2026.  The originally proposed rules, including a March 23, 2026, Notice of Change that was published in Vol. 52, No. 56, Florida Administrative Register for four of the ten proposed rule sections, were previously approved for publication by the agency and reviewed by the Office of Fiscal Accountability and Regulatory Reform.  The rule revisions are being re-noticed, with no additional changes, to comply with timeframes prescribed by Section 120.54, F.S., while ensuring all the affected rule sections, which are inextricably linked, are published and can be filed for adoption with the Department of State contemporaneously.

SUMMARY:

The Department is proposing revisions to update the NPDES-related wastewater forms in Chapter 62-620, F.A.C., for consistency with recent EPA and DEP rule changes, and to update the language in the chapter adopting and incorporating forms in the chapter.
