Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

Division:

Southwest Florida Water Management District

Chapter:

WATER USE PERMITS

Overview

RULE:

40D-2.321

Duration of Permits

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rulemaking is to amend Rule 40D-2.321, F.A.C., to be more consistent with Section 373.236, F.S., and other water management districts rules by eliminating additional requirements that applicants must meet to qualify for a twenty year permit.  The effect is that an applicant will avoid having to satisfy additional requirements to be granted a twenty year permit.  Certain permits that were granted shorter durations may also be extended up to a total of twenty years.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule will allow applicants to receive a permit with a twenty year duration if the applicant provides reasonable assurance that all statutory and regulatory requirements are satisfied for the twenty year term.  Extension of permits that have been issued within the last ten years that would have qualified for a twenty year permit but for the additional requirements is authorized.
