GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Department of Environmental Protection gives notice that it is developing rules as instructed by House Bill 639 and as part of the statewide effort to improve consistency in the Consumptive Use Permitting Programs implemented by the Water Management Districts. House Bill 639 requires the Department to revise the Water Resource Implementation Rule, Chapter 62-40, F.A.C., to include criteria for reuse offsets and credits. In addition to offsets and credits, Chapter 62-40 will also be revised to include other recommendations of the Reclaimed Water Policy Workgroup and recommendations resulting from the Consumptive Use Permitting Consistency Initiative.  A copy of the draft rule language will be available online at http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/waterpolicy/cupcon.htm by November 2, 2012.  A copy of the agenda may be obtained by contacting: Kathleen P. Greenwood, [phone], [e-mail].
