Published on: 11746135. The Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) gives notice that it is developing rules as part of a statewide effort headed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and joined by all five water management districts (WMDs), to increase consistency in the consumptive use permitting (CUP), minimum flows and levels (MFLs), and water supply related programs of the WMDs. This rule development is proposed to be coordinated with similar rule development by the other WMDs throughout Florida. This rule development will make appropriate rule amendments to SWFWMD’s Chapters 40D-1, 40D-2, 40D-8, 40D-20, 40D-21, and 40D-22, F.A.C., and the Southwest Florida Water Management District Water Use Permit Information Manual to address the following goals of the DEP and the WMDs for this rulemaking: (1) making the CUP rules less confusing for applicants; (2) treating applicants equitably statewide; (3) providing consistent protection of the environment; (4) streamlining the application and permitting process; and (5) incentivizing behavior that protects water resources, including water conservation. Additional information about the statewide CUP consistency initiative is available at DEP’s website at: www.dep.state.fl.us/water/waterpolicy/cupcon.htm.
