Effective on Sunday, July 12, 2015
  • 1(1) Permits for construction, repair, modification or abandonment of wells for which an individual water use permit is required under Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C., shall not be issued prior to issuance of the water use permit authorizing such water use withdrawals.

    41(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) above, the District shall issue permits for construction, repair or modification of any well when:

    63(a) The well to be constructed, repaired, or modified is to be used for aquifer testing, hydrologic monitoring, water quality monitoring, or otherwise for the purpose of gathering hydrogeologic data; or

    94(b) The applicant demonstrates that a compelling need exists to commence construction, repair or modification of the well while an application for a water use permit is pending; and

    1231. The Applicant has filed an application for Water Use Permit including all information required by Rule 14040D-2.101, 141F.A.C., and the application has been deemed complete; and

    1502. It appears that the proposed use of water represented in the pending complete Water Use Permit application is a reasonable and beneficial use, will not interfere with any presently existing legal use of water, and is consistent with the public interest.

    192(c) The applicant agrees to all conditions attached to the well permit.

    204(3) The District is under no obligation to issue a water use permit merely because construction, repair or modification of a well has been authorized.
