RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:

62-660.802: General Permit for a Pesticide Waste Degradation System

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment is to repeal a rule identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-211 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.

SUMMARY: This rule describes the required conditions which must be met in order to grant a general permit for the construction and operation of a pesticide waste degradation system for the evaporation and degradation of pesticide rinse water generated in the clearing of pesticide application equipment. This rule is being repealed because activities covered by this permit do not discharge pollutants to waters of the state, therefore a permit is unnecessary. Rule 62-660.802, F.A.C. is incorporated by reference in Rule 62-344.500, F.A.C. Rule 62-344.500, F.A.C. will have to be updated to remove the reference to 62-660.802, 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.

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: repeal of this rule will not have an adverse impact or increase regulatory costs on any entity.

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.
