The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) gives notice that it is initiating rulemaking to amend the above referenced rule. This rule was last amended on October 1, 2013, to make it consistent with Section 373.4131, F.S., which required the Department of Environmental Protection in coordination with the five water management districts (WMDs) to develop statewide environmental resource permitting (ERP) rules. The purpose and effect of this rulemaking is to update 40C-44.301(3), which currently references 40C-44.900, because 40C-44.900 is being repealed as redundant with 40C-44.101(2). The rest of this rulemaking will be merged into the statewide environmental resource permit (ERP) cleanup rulemaking, for which a Notice of Rule Development was published in the FAR on February 12, 2015 (Vol.41/ No.71).
