Southwest Florida Water Management District

Chapter:

INDIVIDUAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE PERMITS

Overview

RULE:

40D-4.091

Publications, Forms and Agreements Incorporated by Reference (Transferred)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to reference Chapter 62-345, F.A.C., which sets forth the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM). The proposed amendment also clarifies that for those projects for which the UMAM does not apply, the existing District rules for calculating wetland mitigation requirements continue to apply.

SUMMARY:

The UMAM has been adopted statewide as the methodology for calculating mitigation requirements for projects which must offset adverse impacts to wetlands and other surface waters. The proposed amendments to the District's Environmental Resource Permitting Information Manual Part B, Basis of Review (BOR) Section 3.3.2 will reference the adopted UMAM rule and clarify that for those projects for which UMAM is not applicable, existing District rules for calculating mitigation requirements will continue to be applicable. The proposed amendment to Rule 40D-4.091, F.A.C., will reflect the date that the revision to the BOR is adopted and correct the title of the document.
