GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The District proposes conforming existing rules to changes made in other District 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). 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.

As a result of the statewide effort, the District proposes to repeal these rules because the necessary provisions are proposed to be moved to Chapter 40E-2, F.A.C., and the remainder is no longer necessary. 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 May 1, 2013.
