Summary
As amended, subsection 40C-41.043 will incorporate certain portions of a revised document entitled “Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook Volume II: For Use Within the Geographic Limits of the St. Johns River Water Management District”. This Volume II handbook volume accompanies DEP’s Handbook Volume I and will continue to be used in conjunction with Volume I to implement the State’s Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP) program within the boundaries of SJRWMD. Generally, the revised incorporated provisions: (1) remove all water quality presumptive criteria and water quality treatment standards, including for all best management practice (BMP) stormwater treatment methods, and remove other water quality criteria, sediment and erosion control requirements, and operation and maintenance requirements (which will all now be covered in DEP’s Chapter 62-330 and Handbook Volume I); (2) update and clarify SJRWMD’s remaining rules regarding other criteria and standards for various BMPs; (3) update and simplify the Lake Apopka rules and other special basin rules in section 13.0 of SJRWMD’s Handbook Volume II; and (4) make other miscellaneous minor edits, clarifications, and conforming changes throughout.
