PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To further the goals of Executive Order 11-211, to reduce regulatory burdens on the citizens of Florida, the District proposes to increase the duration of conceptual permits and reduce the number of copies applicants are required to submit. Additionally, in accordance with the Executive Order, the District proposes to repeal definitions and exemptions that are duplicative of the Florida Statutes.
SUMMARY: The District proposes to repeal definitions and exemptions duplicative of Florida Statutes, reduce the number of copies applicants are required to submit, and increase the duration of conceptual permits from 2 years to 5.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has been prepared by the agency.
The District has prepared a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs reflecting that the reduction in the number of required copies and increase in the duration of conceptual permits will have a positive economic effect.
The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The reduction in the number of required copies and increase in the duration of conceptual permits will have a positive economic effect.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

40E-4.051 Exemptions From Permitting.

The District will exempt from regulation under Section 373, Part IV, F.S., those activities that the District determines will have only minimal or insignificant individual or cumulative adverse impacts on the water resources of the district. Exemptions from permitting under Chapters 40E-4, 40E-40 and 40E-400, F.A.C., are set forth below in addition to those set forth in Sections 373.406 and 403.813, F.S. The performance of activities pursuant to the provisions of the exemptions set forth in this section does not relieve the person or persons who are using the exemption or who are constructing or otherwise implementing the activity from meeting the permitting or performance requirements of other District rules. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the Department of Environment Protection from taking appropriate enforcement action pursuant to Chapter 403, F.S., to abate or prohibit any activity otherwise exempt from permitting pursuant to this section if the Department can demonstrate that the exempted activity has caused water pollution in violation of Chapter 403, F.S.

(1) Pipes or Culverts. The repair or replacement of existing functional pipes or culverts the purpose of which is the discharge or conveyance of stormwater. In all cases, the invert elevation, the diameter, and the length of the culvert shall not be changed. However, the material used for the culvert may be different from the original material. This exemption does not authorize the repair, replacement, or alteration of dam’s spillways or appurtenant works, nor construction activities or procedures that cause violation of water quality standards as set forth in Chapter 62-302 and Rule 62-4.242, F.A.C.

(2) Maintenance of Systems.

(a) The performance of maintenance dredging of existing manmade canals, channels, basins, berths, and intake and discharge structures, where the spoil material is to be removed and deposited on a self-contained, upland spoil site which will prevent the escape of the spoil material and return water from the spoil site into wetlands or other surface waters, provided no more dredging is performed than is necessary to restore the canal, channels, basins, berths, and intake and discharge structures to original design specifications, and provided that control devices are used at the dredge site to prevent turbidity and toxic or deleterious substances from discharging into adjacent waters during maintenance dredging. This exemption shall apply to all canals constructed before April 3, 1970, and to those canals constructed on or after April 3, 1970, pursuant to all necessary state permits. This exemption shall not apply to the removal of a natural or manmade barrier separating a canal or canal system from adjacent wetlands or other surface waters. Where no previous permit has been issued by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, the Department, the District or the United States Army Corps of Engineers for construction or maintenance dredging of the existing manmade canal, channel, basin, berth or intake or discharge structure, such maintenance dredging shall be limited to a depth of no more than 5 feet below mean low water.

(b) The maintenance of functioning insect control structures, and the maintenance of functioning dikes and functioning irrigation and drainage ditches, including roadway drainage ditches, provided:

1. The spoil material is deposited on a self-contained upland spoil site which will prevent the escape of the spoil material and return water into wetlands or other surface waters.

2. In the case of insect control structures, if the cost of using a self-contained upland spoil site is so excessive as determined by the Department of Health, pursuant to subsection 403.088(1), F.S., that it will inhibit the proposed insect control, existing spoil sites or dikes may be used, upon notification to the District. In the case of insect control where upland spoil sites are not used pursuant to this exemption, turbidity control devices shall be used to confine the spoil material discharge to that area previously disturbed when the receiving body of water is used as a potable water supply, is designated as approved, conditionally approved, restricted or conditionally restricted waters for shellfish harvesting by the Department, or functions as a habitat for commercially or recreationally important shellfish or finfish.

3. In all cases, no more dredging is to be performed than is necessary to restore the dike or irrigation or drainage ditch to its original design specifications.

4. This exemption shall apply to manmade trenches dug for the purpose of draining water from the land or for transporting water for use on the land and which are not built for navigational purposes.

(c) Maintenance of minor silvicultural surface water management systems as described in subsection 40E-400.500(4), F.A.C., which were permitted under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., or were constructed prior to the requirements for a permit under this part, provided such maintenance is conducted in accordance with the performance standards set forth in subsection 40E-400.500(5), F.A.C.

(d) The restoration of less than 100 feet in length of existing insect control impoundment dikes and the connection of such impoundments to tidally influenced waters. Such impoundments shall be connected to tidally influenced waters for at least 6 months each year, beginning September 1 and ending February 28. The connection shall be of sufficient cross-sectional area to allow beneficial tidal influence. Restoration shall involve no more dredging than needed to restore the dike to original design specifications, and the final elevation of the dredge area shall be within two feet of immediately adjacent bottom elevations. For the purposes of this paragraph, restoration shall not include maintenance of impoundment dikes of insect control impoundments.

(1)(3) No change.

(2)(4) No change.

(a) No change.

(b) The restoration of a seawall or riprap at its previous location or upland of or within 18 inches waterward of its previous location, as measured from the face of the existing seawall slab to the face of restored seawall slab or from the front slope of the existing riprap to the front slope of the restored riprap. No filling can be performed except in the actual restoration of the seawall or riprap. No construction shall be undertaken without necessary title or leasehold interest, especially where private and public ownership boundaries have changed as a result of natural occurrences such as accretion, reliction and natural erosion. This exemption shall be limited to functioning seawalls or riprap. This exemption shall not affect the permitting requirements of Chapter 161, F.S.

(c) The construction of seawalls or riprap in wetlands or other surface waters, where such construction is between and adjoins at both ends existing seawalls or riprap, follows a continuous and uniform construction line with the existing seawalls or riprap, is no more than 150 feet in length, does not violate state water quality standards, impede navigation, or adversely affect flood control. However, this exemption shall not affect the permitting requirements of Chapter 161, F.S. In estuaries and lagoons, construction of vertical seawalls is limited to the circumstances and purposes stated in Sections 373.414(5)(b)1.-4., F.S.
