Published on: 13081243. This is a continuation of the April 9, 2013 public hearing to adopt amendments in chapters 40C-1, 40C-4, 40C-41, 40C-42, and 40C-44, F.A.C., and amend the sections of the St. Johns River Water Management District Applicant’s Handbook (Volume II) that will be incorporated by reference as a result of the proposed amendments.; June 11, 2013, following the Regulatory Committee Meeting that begins as 11:00 a.m.; Governing Board Room, St. Johns River Water Management District, 4049 Reid Street, Palatka, Florida 32177
Published on: 12762792. By notice published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on August 24, 2012, the St. Johns River Water Management District (“SJRWMD”) initiated rulemaking to amend its rules consistent with Section 373.4131, F.S. Section 373.4131, F.S. became effective on July 1, 2012, and requires the Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) in coordination with the five water management districts (“WMDs”) to develop statewide environmental resource permitting (“ERP”) rules. These rules are to rely primarily upon existing rules of the DEP and WMDs, but may be revised as necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective and streamlined approach in the state’s ERP program.
To implement 373.4131(1), F.S., DEP has initiated rulemaking to revise Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. As part of its rulemaking, DEP intends to incorporate by reference documents to be known collectively as an applicant’s handbook. Two volumes of the applicant’s handbook will apply in each WMD: (1) one volume that will include general and environmental procedures, and forms that will apply statewide (Volume I); and (2) a second volume, specific to, and adopted by, the WMD that, among other things, will set forth design and performance standards for stormwater quality and quantity, and address any District-specific thresholds and exemptions in Chapter 62-330 (Volume II). These volumes will replace and/or amend SJRWMD’s existing Applicant’s Handbooks, including “Applicant’s Handbook: Agricultural Surface Water Management Systems (Chapter 40C-44, F.A.C.)” (December 27, 2010) (Agricultural Handbook).
During the rulemaking process, DEP has indicated that the statewide environmental resource permitting rules will be designed so that they do not substantively affect agricultural or silvicultural activities within each WMD. Consistent with this goal, the new statewide ERP rules in Chapter 62-330 will incorporate by reference the District’s existing rules in Chapter 40C-44 regarding agricultural surface water management systems.
The purposes of the proposed rule amendments to Chapter 40C-44 are to: (1) delete or update references to rule chapters 40C-4 and 40C-40 and Applicant’s Handbook Sections that will be superseded by Chapter 62-330 and new Applicant’s Handbook volumes; (2) make any other necessary changes to reflect adoption of the statewide ERP rules; and (3) implement amendments consistent with the District’s 2012-2013 Regulatory Plan. None of the proposed amendments are designed to create changes in the substantive requirements for agricultural surface water management systems under Chapter 40C-44 within SJRWMD.
Published on: 12442595. Section 373.4131, Florida Statutes, became effective on July 1, 2012, and requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in coordination with the five water management districts (WMDs) to develop statewide environmental resource permitting (ERP) rules. These rules are to rely primarily upon existing rules of the DEP and WMDs, but may be revised as necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective, and streamlined approach in the State’s ERP program. To implement Section 373.4131(1), FS., DEP has initiated rulemaking to revise rule chapter 62-330, F.A.C. The revisions to this rule chapter will necessitate amendments to St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) rule chapters 40C-1, 40C-4, 40C-41, 40C-42 and 40C-44, F.A.C. As part of its rulemaking, DEP also intends to incorporate by reference an applicant’s handbook. At least two volumes of the applicant’s handbook will apply in each WMD: (1) one volume that will include general and environmental procedures and forms that will apply statewide, and (2) a second volume specific to, and adopted by, the WMD that will (a) set forth design and performance standards for stormwater quality and quantity; (b) include basin designations and basin-specific rules within the WMD; and (c) address any District-specific thresholds and exemptions referenced in Chapter 62-330. These volumes will replace and/or amend the SJRWMD’s current applicant’s handbooks. Comments will be solicited regarding amendments to Chapters 40C-1, 40C-4, 40C-41, 40C-42 and 40C-44, F.A.C., and a document to be known as “Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook, Volume II: For Use within the Geographic Limits of the St. Johns River Water Management District,” which is based on existing provisions contained in the SJRWMD’s current applicant’s handbooks.
The District previously held a workshop regarding this rulemaking on September 14, 2012.
