Summary


This rulemaking is part of a larger rulemaking effort being undertaken by the District to reduce the required number of copies of permit application forms and supporting materials submitted when applying for a permit or other authorization from the District, and the number of copies of compliance-related documents that must submitted by permittees. These amendments are intended to reduce permitting and compliance costs for the public. The District will now require only one original of Water Use Permit application forms and supporting documents and of reporting forms for permit compliance purposes. For Environmental Resource Permits, one original and 2 copies of all application forms, supporting documents, and compliance reporting forms will now be required. Rule 40D-1.6051, F.A.C., is amended to incorporate by reference an updated Applicant Transmittal Form, Form No. LEG-R.046.01(8/11) which is revised to specify the required number of copies for use with Water Use Permit applications and Environmental Resource Permit applications. Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., which lists all District forms, is amended to list the updated forms that are being revised as part of this rulemaking. Amendments to both rules also correct the District’s website name.
