The purpose and effect of this proposed rule is to amend the environmental resource permit (ERP) rules in Chapter 40C-4, F.A.C., and the Applicant’s Handbook: Management and Storage of Surface Waters to: (1) indicate that the regulatory delegations to District staff regarding ERPs are located in the Statement of Agency Organization and Operation which is found on the District’s website; (2) remove certain references to the Governing Board in favor of the term “District” for clarity and accuracy and, in some cases, also because permit delegations are no longer subject to rulemaking due to the 2010 enactment of amendments to Section 373.083(5), F.S.; and (3) clarify and reorganize the rules describing: procedures for processing individual and standard ERPs; procedures for objections to such permits; notices provided in the permitting process; requests for administrative hearing; and procedures at regulatory meetings.
