Purpose


The proposed amendments make changes so that all provisions relating to permit transfers and certain reporting requirements are updated and consistent with prior rulemaking. The first update relates to an October 2005, rulemaking for the standard condition set forth in paragraph 40D-2.381(3)(p), F.A.C. That condition was modified to require new owners of land and withdrawal facilities included on a water use permit to transfer the water use permit within 45 days of the sale to themselves and prior to using the water. The correlative standard condition in Chapter 6 of the Basis of Review was not modified. This rulemaking would remedy this inconsistency. Section 6.2 of the WUP Basis of Review contains two Special Conditions that are placed on permits that pertain to reporting requirements. Because these conditions have been independently revised over time, inconsistencies have arisen. This rulemaking would remedy the problem by combining the two conditions into one.
