District rules concerning permit application noticing and agency action noticing have remained largely unchanged since their inception in the 1980’s. Current noticing rules do not reflect technological advances in disseminating information to the public, such as the internet and electronic mail. Special noticing practices have also evolved over the years, which are not required by statute and which can now be accomplished more efficiently through the District’s website. The District is proposing amendments to several rules to revise and update the District’s noticing procedures. Section 1.7 of the District’s Water Use Permit Information Manual Part B, Basis of Review (BOR) and Rule 40D-2.101, F.A.C., are amended to eliminate the requirement for water use permit applicants to submit the names and addresses of property owners located within certain distances of the proposed water use. BOR section 1.7 is also amended to reflect changes being made in Rule 40D-1.603, F.A.C., concerning notices of applications received by the District and notices of agency action on such applications. Rule 40D-2.091, F.A.C., is amended to incorporate by reference the revised BOR.
