Summary


The District has completed a comprehensive review of the application information requirements for the various types of District WUPs and now seeks to revise its permit application forms in concert with efforts to expand electronic permitting through the District’s Water Management Information System or WMIS. Revised application forms have been developed for Individual, General and Small General WUPs. A new application form is developed for use in renewing Small General WUPs for agricultural water use. Revised supplemental information forms are proposed for agricultural, commercial or industrial, and recreation or aesthetic water use types. Revised supplemental application forms for mining or dewatering and for public supply water uses are still under development and will be proposed in subsequent rulemaking. The information-gathering format embodied in the revised forms is also designed to facilitate electronic permitting through WMIS, which has recently been expanded to accept General and Individual WUP applications in addition to Small General WUP applications. Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., is amended to list the new WUP application forms and to identify the specific rule in which these forms are incorporated by reference.
