PURPOSE:

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in coordination with the five Water Management Districts (WMDs), is conducting rulemaking to develop statewide environmental resource permitting (ERP) rules. The rules rely primarily upon existing rules of DEP and WMDs, which have been combined and revised as necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective, and streamlined approach to implement the ERP program throughout the state. This rulemaking is authorized under Section 373.4131, F.S. The ERP rules govern the construction, alteration, operation, maintenance, repair, abandonment, and removal of stormwater management systems, dams, impoundments, reservoirs, appurtenant works, or works, including dredging and filling in wetlands and other surface waters, or combinations thereof. The proposed revisions to the District’s rules are to reflect DEP’s proposed amended Chapter 62-330 and Applicant’s Handbook Volume I, to delete duplicative language and to create Applicant’s Handbook Volume II from the existing Basis of Review for Environmental Resource Permit Applications.

SUMMARY:

To amend or repeal rules to be consistent with DEP's adoption of statewide ERP rules in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C.  Among other things, this rulemaking process will amend or repeal rules on the following subjects: (1) permitting procedures; (2) types of permits; (3) permit modifications and transfers; (4) reporting forms and operational requirements; (5) application submittal and review procedures; (6) fee categories; and (7) other rules for which conforming amendments may be needed along with any rule changes to be consistent with 
Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., and the requirements of Section 373.4131, F.S.
