The purpose and effect of the proposed rule development is to amend the General Permit by Rule that regulates small irrigation uses below consumptive use permit thresholds in Rule 40C-2.041, F.A.C. Amendments include: repeal of the exceptions from irrigation day and time limitations for use of reclaimed water and the use of recycled water from wet detention treatment ponds for irrigation; providing that when a reclaimed water provider cannot feasibly operate its disposal system unless it provides reclaimed water to its customers on a more frequent basis than would occur under the limitations in the General Permit by Rule irrigation schedules, then such customers who receive written notification that this condition exists can irrigate with reclaimed water on the additional days specified in the notification; and revising Rule 40C-2.101, F.A.C., and the Applicant’s Handbook: Consumptive Uses of Water, to reflect these changes. The District is also considering amending Rules 40C-2.101 and 40C-2.301, F.A.C., and the Applicant’s Handbook: Consumptive Uses of Water, to address the use of reclaimed water and the use of recycled water from wet detention treatment ponds for irrigation by applicants who require a consumptive use permit from the District and do not qualify for the General Permit by Rule.
