The Department proposes to create Chapter 62-331, F.A.C., to implement the State 404 Program by including requirements of federal law that are not already addressed in existing state regulations for dredge and fill permitting. The creation of this rule includes a State 404 Program Handbook as well as new forms to be incorporated by reference. The proposed rule creation also includes definitions, procedures for review and agency action on exemption requests, processes for Individual Permits, public notice requirements, procedures regarding mitigation banking, and procedures and descriptions for General Permits created to correspond to the federal Nationwide Permits as granted by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. This rule will have a delayed effective date. The effective date of the rule will be the effective date of assumption, which is the date identified by EPA as published in the Federal Register.
