Published on: 13842499. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is leading a statewide effort (referred to as CUPCon) to improve consistency in the consumptive use permitting programs implemented by the water management districts (WMDs). The CUPCon goals include: 1) making the consumptive use permitting program less confusing for applicants; 2) treating applicants equitably statewide; 3) providing consistent protection of the environment; 4) streamlining the process; and 5) incentivizing behavior that protect water resources.
Published on: 13229168. The District proposes to amend these rules as part of a statewide effort headed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and joined by all water management districts (WMDs) to increase consistency in the consumptive use permitting (CUP) program. This necessitates addressing procedural rules. The changes will address the goals of the DEP and the WMDs in streamlining the permitting process and making the permitting process less confusing for applicants. Additional information about the statewide CUP consistency initiative and this rulemaking process is available at DEP's website at: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/waterpolicy/cupcon.htm.
Among other topics, this rule development: 1) deletes references to Chapter 40E-20, F.A.C., which is being repealed through this rulemaking process; 2) clarifies the application procedures for processing permit applications or notices of intent; 3) clarifies the types of permits the Governing Board shall consider; 4) adds fee categories for individual permits, except mining/dewatering and includes a filing fee for applications filed electronically that is lower than applications filed by other means; and 5) replacing water use forms (Tables A through K) with water use permit supplemental forms. Note: Members of the District's Governing Board may attend the scheduled Rule Development Workshop. The South Florida Water Management District's draft rule language will be posted on the District's website at www.sfwmd.gov/rules, on August 1, 2013.
