Purpose


Amendments proposed to Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., are part of a larger rule package, the purpose of which is to adopt revised and updated Water Use Permit application and supplemental information forms. The revised forms will coordinate with ongoing refinements in the information-gathering capabilities of the District’s Water Management Information System, or WMIS, which is being expanded to allow electronic submittal of a greater range of permit applications. The effect will be to elicit through the permit application forms all of the specific information and supporting documentation normally required to determine that a requested water use meets the conditions for permit issuance.
