Notice 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. 33 No. 21, May 25, 2007 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.
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. 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 Environmental 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.
