    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Suwannee River Water Management District (District) gives notice that it is initiating rulemaking to amend its rules consistent with Section 373.4131, Florida Statues (F.S.) Section 373.4131, F.S., became effective on July 1, 2012, and requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in coordination with the five water management districts (WMDs) to develop statewide environmental permitting (ERP) rules. These rules are to rely primarily upon existing rules of the DEP and WMDs, but may be revised as necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective, and streamlined approach in the state’s ERP program. To implement Section 373.4131(1), F.S., DEP has initiated rulemaking to revise Chapter 62-330, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.)

    DEP’s proposed rulemaking for Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., will include provisions currently addressed in the District’s Chapters 40B-4, F.A.C. This will necessitate amendments to District Chapter 40B-4, F.A.C. Therefore, the purpose of this rule development is to revise the District’s rules to be consistent with DEP’s adoption of statewide ERP rules in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. and include proposed District rules.

    SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Among other things, this rule development will cover the revision of District rules by rule amendment, development or repeal, as needed, to accomplish the establishment of statewide ERP rules and proposed District rules on the following subjects: (1) permitting thresholds, (2) permit exemptions, (3) types of permits, (4) permit duration (5) permit modifications and transfers, (6) reporting forms and operational requirements, (7) application submittal and review procedures, (8) conditions for issuance, (9) formal determinations of the landward extent of wetlands and other surface waters, (10) general permit conditions, (11) fee categories, and (12) other rules for which conforming amendments may be needed along with any rule changes made in the subject areas above.

    RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 369.318, 373.044, 373.046(4), 373.113, 373.118, 373.406, 373.413, 373.4131, 373.414, 373.415, 373.416, 373.418, 373.421, 373.461 FS.

    LAW IMPLEMENTED: 120.60, 369.316, 369.318, 373.016(2), 373.042, 373.0421, 373.046, 373.085, 373.086, 373.103, 373.109, 373.117, 373.118, 373.129, 373.146(1), 373.406, 373.413, 373.4131, 373.4135, 373.4136, 373.414, 373.4141, 373.415, 373.416, 373.417, 373.418, 373.419, 373.421(2)-(6), 373.423, 373.426, 373.461(3), 373.613, 380.06(9), 403.0877, 403.813(2) FS.
