Summary


Rule 40D-2.041, F.A.C., is amended to revise the definition of a General Water Use Permit when the combined annual average daily demand is less than 100,000 gpd. A permit authorizing a surface water withdrawal will be categorized as a general permit only if the primary withdrawal source is a surface water and only if the combined annual average daily water demand is at least 50,000 gpd. Amendments also provide that a general WUP will be issued for combined annual average daily water demands of less than 100,000 gpd if the maximum daily withdrawal quantity equals or exceeds 3 million gpd for crop protection or other use unless located within the Dover-Plant City area of Hillsborough County, in which case the permit will be issued as a General WUP if the maximum daily withdrawal quantity is 1 million gpd or more.
