Specifically, the proposed amendments: 1) require a single noticed general permit for contiguous properties unless served by separate withdrawal facilities; 2) grant a general permit by rule for the use of water for cooling/heating systems, a use that previously required a water use permit; 3) set forth circumstances under which the water use would likely qualify for such a general permit as well as specify those criteria under which an applicant must apply for an individual permit; 4) replace old water use forms with new ones; 5) incorporate provisions from Chapter 40E-20, F.A.C.; 5) conform to the water Resource Implementation Rule on minimum flows and levels; 6) provide for modifications of permits by letter for certain types of projects or activities; and 7) facilitate implementation of the recent amendments to Section 373.236(5), F.S. In addition, the proposed amendments rename the “Basis of Review for Water Use Permit Applications Within the South Florida Water Management District” to “Water Use Permit Applicant’s Handbook For Use Within the South Florida Water Management District” and fulfill the goals of CUPCon to streamline the CUP application and compliance process as well as to make it easier for applicants/consultants that work in multiple WMD jurisdictions. The Applicant’s Handbook will contain a consistent order of appearance as well as contain consistent criteria on several topics, such as water conservation and 10-year compliance reports.
