Purpose


The District is re-initiating rule development to amend its consumptive use permitting and water supply related program rules as part of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's statewide effort to improve consistency among the water management districts (referred to as CUP Consistency or CUPCon). This re-initiation of rule development will cure discrepancies between the versions of rules that were published on December 10, 2013, and acted on by the Governing Board on February 13, 2014, as well as correct some inadvertent text inaccuracies. There are no substantive changes to the rule text as adopted by the Governing Board in February 2014.
