40D-3.101: Content of Application
40D-3.411: Well Completion Report
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rulemaking is to adopt and incorporate by reference a revised State of Florida Permit Application to Construct, Repair, Modify or Abandon a Well, to be numbered as District Form No. LEG-R.040.01 (6/10) and a revised Well Completion Report, to be numbered as District Form No. LEG-R.005.02 (6/10). The effect will be to make the District-adopted forms identical to revised forms proposed for statewide use by the Department of Environmental Protection.
SUMMARY: The proposed rulemaking is to adopt standardized forms for well construction permit applications and well completion reports which are submitted to document the well construction work. The District-adopted forms are the same as forms used by all water management districts and delegated agencies for the administration of well construction permitting and were initially designed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) as statewide forms adoptable by each district. DEP has prepared new forms for use by the water management districts in administering the well construction permitting program. DEP anticipates adopting these forms for statewide use.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: No Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost was prepared.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
