The District is revising some of its Environmental Resource Permit application forms and compliance forms to clarify that such forms may be prepared and submitted by licensed or registered professionals in addition to licensed professional engineers, as provided by law. The form changes will make District forms consistent with the DEP and other water management districts which have revised their ERP forms and practices to clarify that documents and permit applications may be prepared by licensed or registered professionals in accordance with law. Amendments are made to the Joint Application for Environmental Resource Permit/Authorization to Use State Owned Submerged Lands/Federal Dredge and Fill Permit, Statement of Completion and Request for Transfer to Operation Entity, Statement of Inspection for Proper Operation and Maintenance, Environmental Resource Permit Modification Short Form, and General ERP Application for Modification Related to Outparcel Construction Within Commercial/Industrial Projects, to clarify that such forms may be submitted by a licensed or registered professional as prescribed by law. Amendments are also proposed to the Environmental Resource Permitting Manual Part B, Basis of Review as well as the following rules which identify or discuss these forms and submittal requirements: Rules 40D-4.101, 40D-4.331 and 40D-4.351, F.A.C. Rule 40D-4.091, F.A.C., is amended to incorporate the revised Basis of Review. A definition of “licensed or registered professional,” which has been similarly adopted in rule and is used by DEP, is also added to Rule 40D-4.021, F.A.C. The General ERP Application for Modification Related to Outparcel Construction form is further amended to correct a rule citation as to applicable fee and to make the form usable for other types of projects with outparcels within a permitted system, in addition to commercial and industrial projects. Proposed changes to this form will have cost saving benefits for permittees with systems having outparcels and requiring modifications.
