The Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Resource Management announces a workshop to which all persons are invited.
DATE AND TIME: April 6, 2010, 9:30 a.m. (ET)
PLACE: Department of Environmental Protection, Conference Room A, Marjory Stoneman Douglas Bldg., 3900 Commonwealth Blvd., Tallahassee, FL 32399. Toll Free Teleconference Number: 1(888)808-6959, Conference Code: 2458486#
GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: To amend Chapter 18-14, F.A.C., to revise and clarify how administrative fines are assessed for violations on state-owned submerged land. The proposed amendments will provide for issuance of a Warning Letter, instead of a Notice of Violation. This will enable the Department to consolidate the enforcement actions of both proprietary and regulatory violations and achieve compliance in a shorter timeframe. The proposed amendments were revised following the October 26, 2009 workshop on this rule.
