Notice of Extension of Regulatory Plan Deadlines
The South Florida Water Management District (District) hereby provides notice of extension of the deadline set forth in subsection 120.74(5), Fla. Stat., requiring publication of a Notice of Proposed Rule by April 1 for certain rules listed on the District’s 2016/2017 Regulatory Plan. The District is extending the deadline for rules governing Works of the District Basins contained in: 40E-61.011, 40E-61.020, 40E-61.021, 40E-61.023, 40E-61.024, 40E-61.031, 40E-61.041, 40E-61.042, 40E-61.051, 40E-61.101, 40E-61.201, 40E-61.301, 40E-61.321, 40E-61.331, 40E-61.351, and 40E-61.381, Fla. Admin. Code.
1.Concise statement identifying issues causing the delay in rulemaking: The District included in its 2016/2017 Regulatory Plan, rules from Chapter 40E-61, Fla. Admin. Code, pertaining to Works of the District Basins. These rules are needed to implement the 2016 Water Bill codified in Section 373.4595, Fla. Stat. The 2016 Water Bill directs the District and FDEP to provide a water quality monitoring program for nonpoint dischargers not implementing Best Management Practices in the Northern Everglades Watersheds. The water quality monitoring program in Chapter 40E-61, Fla. Admin. Code must be consistent with Section 403.067, Fla. Stat. and FDEP’s statewide rule. FDEP has not yet drafted its statewide rule; therefore, the District is delayed from initiating amendments to Chapter 40E-61, Fla. Admin. Code.
2.Applicable notice as published in the Florida Administrative Register: A Notice of Rule Development was published on November 1, 2016 (Vol. 42, No. 213).
Expiration
Pursuant to subsection 120.74(5), Fla. Stat., these extensions expire on October 1, 2017.
