Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

Division:

Southwest Florida Water Management District

Chapter:

WATER USE PERMITS

Overview

RULE:

40D-2.021	Definitions
40D-2.091	Publications and Forms Incorporated by Reference
40D-2.301	Conditions for Issuance of Permits
40D-2.321	Duration of Permits
40D-2.331	Modification of Permits
40D-2.351	Transfer of Permits

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rulemaking is to amend the Water Use Permit Applicant’s Handbook Part B, Section 1.4.13 to establish an exception from certain water use permitting requirements for the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund when property leased from the Board of Trustees to a local government extends through the water use permit term, and to incorporate the change thereto, make corresponding amendments to Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C. The effect of this rulemaking will be to decrease regulation by alleviating the need for the Board of Trustees to be a co-applicant for certain water use permits of local governments.

SUMMARY:

The proposed amendments will relieve the Board of Trustees from having to be a co-applicant for a water use permit when land leased from the Board to a local government extends through the water use permit term. The proposed revisions provide more options to both the Board and local governments. Local governments will no longer have to solicit the Board to be a co-applicant, and the Board will no longer have to be a co-applicant or the sole applicant. The proposed revisions, requested by the Board and desired by local governments, provide additional regulatory flexibility for water use permit applicants.
