Published on: 13006747. This is a continuation of the May 9, 2013 public hearing to adopt amendments or repeal provisions in Chapters 40E-0, 40E-1, 40E-4, 40E-40, 40E-41, and 40E-400, F.A.C., and amend and rename the Basis of Review for Environmental Resource Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District.; June 13, 2013 beginning 9:00 a.m.; Village of Key Biscayne, Council Chambers, 560 Crandon Boulevard, Key Biscayne, FL 33149
Published on: 12789176. The purpose and effect of this rulemaking is to amend rules of the South Florida Water Management District (“District”) consistent with Section 373.4131, F.S. (2012),which requires the Florida 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, F.S., DEP has initiated rulemaking to revise Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. Some examples of subjects covered in DEP’s rulemaking for Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., include: permitting thresholds; permit exemptions; types of permits; permit fee categories; application and notice content and submittal procedures; procedures for processing ERP applications (including variances and general permits); conditions for issuance; and formal wetland determinations of the landward extent of wetlands and other surface waters. As part of its rulemaking, DEP also intends to incorporate by reference documents that will be known as an Applicant’s Handbook (AH). Two volumes of the AH will apply in each WMD: (1) one volume that will include general and environmental criteria and procedures and forms, which volume will apply statewide (AH Volume I); and (2) a second volume, specific to, and adopted by, the WMD that will set forth design and performance standards for stormwater quality and quantity, and include drainage basin designations and basin-specific rules within the WMD (Applicant’s Handbook, Volume II). DEP’s proposed rulemaking for Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., will result in these rules becoming duplicative and unnecessary.
Published on: 12445699. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in coordination with the five Water Management Districts (WMDs), is conducting rulemaking to develop statewide environmental resource permitting (ERP) rules. The rules rely primarily upon existing rules of DEP and WMDs, which have been combined and revised as necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective, and streamlined approach to implement the ERP program throughout the state. This rulemaking is authorized under Section 373.4131, F.S. The ERP rules govern the construction, alteration, operation, maintenance, repair, abandonment, and removal of stormwater management systems, dams, impoundments, reservoirs, appurtenant works, or works, including dredging and filling in wetlands and other surface waters, or combinations thereof. The public is invited to provide comments on the proposed revisions to Chs. 40E-0, 40E-1, 40E-4, 40E-40, 40E-41 and 40E-400, F.A.C., together with associated fees, and the proposed Applicant’s Handbook Volume II. The proposed revisions to the District’s rules are to reflect DEP’s proposed amended Chapter 62-330 and Applicant’s Handbook Volume I, to delete duplicative language and to create Applicant’s Handbook Volume II from the existing Basis of Review for Environmental Resource Permit Applications.; January, 14, 2013, 1:00 p.m.; This workshop will be broadcast via webinar.

Published on: 12029375. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) gives notice that it is initiating rulemaking to amend its rules as required by Section 373.4131, F.S., which became effective on July 1, 2012. This statute requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in coordination with the five water management districts (WMDs) to develop statewide environmental 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), F.S., DEP has initiated rulemaking to revise Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. Some examples of provisions that DEP has proposed to include in the proposed rulemaking for Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. are: permitting thresholds; permit exemptions; types of permits; application and notice content and submittal procedures; conditions. Some examples of provisions that DEP has proposed to include in the proposed rulemaking for Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. are: permitting thresholds; permit exemptions; types of permits; application and notice content and submittal procedures; conditions for issuance; and formal determinations of the landward extent of wetlands and other surface waters. As part of its rulemaking, DEP also intends to incorporate by reference documents to be known 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; and (2) a second volume, specific to, and adopted by, the WMD that will set forth design and performance standards for stormwater quality and quantity, and include drainage basin designations and basin-specific rules within the WMD. DEP’s proposed rulemaking for Chapter 62-330 will include provisions currently addressed in SFWMD’s Chapters 40E-0, 40E-1, 40E-4, 40E-40, 40E-41 and 40E-400, and will necessitate amendments to SFWMD Chapters 40E-0, 40E-1, 40E-4, 40E-40, 40E-41 and 40E-400, F.A.C., and its existing Basis of Review. Therefore, the purpose of this rule development is to revise or repeal SFWMD’s rules consistent with DEP’s adoption of statewide ERP rules in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C.
