40C-3 Cleanup and Streamlining
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule will be to: (1) update and properly incorporate references to the rules and forms of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP); (2) clarify existing rules; and (3) streamline the permitting process and reduce regulatory burdens while protecting water resources. Part of the streamlining will include the creation of 40C-3.042 to allow a single water well construction permit for multiple wells. The District also plans to repeal 40C-3.507.
Notice of rule development document
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: In 2012 through mid-2014, the St. Johns River Water Management District (District), along with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and other water management districts, engaged in statewide rulemaking to increase consistency in the consumptive use permit (CUP) programs. That rulemaking was commonly referred to as the “CUPcon” rulemaking. The purpose and effect of the proposed amendment to rule 40C-1.603, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), is to make conforming amendments based on the proposed changes to Chapter 40C-2, F.A.C., and make corrections and clarifications. The purpose and effect of the new proposed amendments to rules in Chapter 40C-2, F.A.C., will be to: (1) clean up “glitches” inadvertently created during the CUPcon rulemaking; (2) clarify existing rules; (3) create additional streamlining; and (4) reduce regulatory burdens while protecting water resources.
