- NOTICE OF CHANGENotice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to the proposed rule in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S., published in Vol. 35 No. 34, August 28, 2009 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.
Notice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to proposed Rule 40D-2.322, F.A.C., to remove the originally proposed subsection 40D-2.322(2) and renumber sections. Proposed Rule 40D-2.322, F.A.C., is related to other proposed amendments to Rules 40D-1.607, 40D-2.091, 40D-2.301, and 40D-2.321, that were published in Vol. 35, No. 34, August 28, 2009 and Notice of Change published in Vol. 35, No. 51, December 24, 2009 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.
Section 40D-2.322, F.A.C., will now read as follows:
40D-2.322 Population and Impact Analysis and Verification of 10-year Requirements.
(1) This Rule 40D-2.322, F.A.C., shall apply to new and renewal permits issued after [effective date of rule] and permits that are substantially modified after [effective date of rule].
(2) For 20 year General and Individual Public Supply Permits, at years 10 and 15 of the permit the permittee shall submit an analysis and summary of the long-term trends over the reporting period and through the term of the permit that addresses population growth based on the District's BEBR medium based GIS model or equivalent methodology, non-population based factors such as large industrial or other uses, other water demand, and per capita use. If the reporting period demands are less than 90% of the projected demands as reflected in the permit for that period or for the remainder of the term of the permit, the permittee shall demonstrate a legal, technical or other type of hardship as to why the permitted demand should not be reduced to an allocation based on actual demands experienced through the reporting period and demands projected through the remaining term of the permit. Within 90 days of a District notification to the permittee that the demonstration was not made, the permittee shall submit a request to modify the permit allocation consistent with actual and projected demands.
(3) Where data indicate adverse impacts to environmental or other water resources, offsite land use or a legal existing use, non-compliance with a minimum flow or level or associated recovery or prevention strategy, or interference with a reservation, or where data indicate the impacts predicted at the time of permit issuance were underestimated to the degree that the previous analysis is inadequate, an updated ground-water modeling analysis and data analysis shall be required to address compliance with conditions for issuance.
(4) Permits that are issued for 20 year duration based on meeting the requirements set forth in paragraph 40D-2.321(1)(b), (c), (d) or (e), F.A.C., within 10 years shall include a timeline of activities proposed to result in achieving these requirements, and progress reports. If these requirements are not achieved within 10 years, the permit duration shall revert to the applicable duration provided in Rule 40D-2.321, F.A.C., unless this reversion would result in the permit having expired or less than a year of remaining duration. In such cases, the permit will expire one year following the final determination of non-achievement and will be limited to a permitted quantity that equals an additional two years future demand beyond current demand, as determined pursuant to section 3.0 of Part B, Basis of Review, of the Water Use Permit Information Manual incorporated by reference in Rule 40D-2.091, F.A.C., from the point of final determination of non-achievement.
