    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The South Florida Water Management District (“District”) proposes to amend and/or repeal its rules to be consistent with Section 373.4131, F.S. (2012),which requires the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”), in coordination with the five water management districts (“WMDs”), to develop environmental resource permitting (“ERP”) rules, which will be applicable statewide. These rules rely primarily upon existing rules of the DEP and WMDs, but were revised where necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective and streamlined approach in the state’s ERP program. To implement 373.4131, F.S., DEP has published a Notice of Rule Development in the Florida Administrative Register and has posted preliminary draft rule text on its website at http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/wetlands/swerp/index.htm.  DEP’s proposed rulemaking for Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., will necessitate amendments to existing rules and repeal of rules in which the subject matter will be addressed in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C.
    SUMMARY:  The document “Basis of Review for Environmental Resource Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District – May 20, 2012” (“Basis of Review”) previously incorporated by reference in Rule 40E-4.091, F.A.C., is proposed to be amended and renamed “Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook, Volume II, For Use Within the Geographic Limits of the South Florida Water Management District.” (“AH Vol. II”)  AH Vol. II deletes provisions that will be addressed in or be made obsolete by the “Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook, Volume I (General and Environmental)” (“AH Vol. I”) which is proposed to be adopted by DEP.  AH Vol. II will be used in conjunction with AH Vol. I to implement the State’s ERP program within the boundaries of the South Florida Water Management District. The new and remaining provisions in AH Vol. II generally address: (1) design and performance standards, and criteria for water quality and quantity / flood control for stormwater management systems, works and other regulated activities, including alternative criteria for those systems; (2) explanations of standards and criteria pertaining to water management system design and construction water flows and levels, flood protection, and the design of dams; (3) explanations of basin criteria; (4) flexibility for state transportation projects; (5) water quality retrofits; (6) description of drainage basins and regional watersheds; and (7) description of District-specific thresholds and exemptions to be referenced in amended chapter 62-330. Hyperlinks to the materials incorporated by reference are added.

    In addition, the District proposes to amend Rule 40E-4.010 to conform to DEP’s amendments to Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., by referencing Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., and to repeal Rules 40E-4.011, 40E-4.021, 40E-4.041, 40E-4.0415, 40E-4.042, 40E-4.051, 40E-4.0515, 40E-4.054, 40E-4.101, 40E-4.201, 40E-4.205, 40E-4.301, 40E-4.302, 40E-4.303, 40E-4.305, 40E-4.321, 40E-4.331, 40E-4.341, 40E-4.351, 40E-4.361, 40E-4.381, and 40E-4.451, F.A.C., as the substance of these rules will be addressed in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C.
    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 not been prepared by the agency since most of the provisions being deleted are addressed in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C.
    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 District has completed for the Governor’s Office of Fiscal Accountability and Regulatory Reform (OFARR) the form entitled “Is a SERC Required?” and prepared a summary of the proposed rule amendments, which are both available upon request. Based on the completed form entitled “Is a SERC Required?” and summary and the analysis performed by District staff in preparing and completing those documents, the proposed rule amendments are not expected to require legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S.
    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.
