The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in coordination with the five Water Management Districts (WMDs), is conducting rulemaking to develop statewide environmental resource permitting (ERP) rules. This rulemaking is authorized under Section 373.4131, F.S. The ERP rules govern the construction, alteration, operation, maintenance, repair, abandonment, and removal of stormwater management systems, dams, impoundments, reservoirs, appurtenant works, or works, including dredging and filling in wetlands and other surface waters, or combinations thereof. The public is invited to provide comments on the proposed Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., “Environmental Resource Permitting,” together with its associated forms, fees, and Applicant’s Handbook Volumes I and II. The rules rely primarily upon existing rules of DEP and WMDs, which have been combined and revised as necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective, and streamlined approach to implement the ERP program throughout the state.
