The purpose of this rulemaking is to amend Rule 40D-2.331, F.A.C. and the associated Water Use Permit Letter Modification Short Form (Form No. LEG-R.035.00 (3/09)) to allow for the use of the form to modify permits associated with the District’s Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) program projects funded pursuant to Chapter 40D-26, F.A.C. Standby quantities created as a result of a project will not be reduced as long as the permittee operates the project and the conditions of issuance provided for in Chapter 373, F.S. and Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C. are met (and if requested by permittee, the permit is extended for twenty years). The Modification Short Form is amended to allow a permittee to modify its permit to include or remove a FARMS project. These changes are necessary due to negotiations regarding the contract associated with FARMS projects.
