GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The District proposes to amend these rules as part of a statewide effort headed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and joined by all water management districts (WMDs) to increase consistency in the consumptive use permitting (CUP) program. The changes will address the goals of the DEP and the WMDs in streamlining the permitting process and making the permitting process less confusing for applicants. Additional information about the statewide CUP consistency initiative and this rulemaking process is available at DEP's website at: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/waterpolicy/cupcon.htm.

The District proposes to repeal this rule chapter as its substance will be moved to Chapter 40E-2, F.A.C. through this rulemaking process.

Note: Members of the District's Governing Board may attend the scheduled Rule Development Workshop. The South Florida Water Management District's draft rule language will be posted on the District's website at www.sfwmd.gov/rules, on August 1, 2013.
