PURPOSE:

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is leading a statewide effort (referred to as CUPCon) to improve consistency in the consumptive use permitting programs implemented by the water management districts (WMDs).  The CUPCon goals include: 1) making the consumptive use permitting program less confusing for applicants; 2) treating applicants equitably statewide; 3) providing consistent protection of the environment; 4) streamlining the process; and 5) incentivizing behavior that protect water resources.

SUMMARY:

Specifically, the proposed rules: 1) update rule references; 2) clarify procedures for specific types of permit applications; 3) clarify that all right of way staff recommendations and recommendations for denial of all permit applications are considered by the Governing Board; 4) replace old forms with new ones; 5) reformat the fee table so that it is easier to read; 6) conform the permit types to those proposed in Rule 40E-2.071; and 7) incentivize the online submission of applications for Noticed General Permits by reducing the application fee.
