Purpose


The District proposed to amend its Water Use Permit (WUP) rules to refine the permit category now informally known as “Small General” WUPs and to incorporate the term, “Small General,” into existing rules. Amendments are proposed primarily to Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C., and the District's Water Use Permit Information Manual Part B, Basis of Review. However, as part of this effort, amendments are also proposed for Rule 40D-1.607, F.A.C., to incorporate the term, “Small General WUP.” The effect will be to specify the application fees for what will now be known formally as a “Small General WUP.” Amendments are also proposed to Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., to move the list or irrigation water use forms currently incorporated by reference in Rule 40D-2.091, F.A.C., which rule is intended to list documents incorporated by reference, to Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., which lists all District forms incorporated by reference. The effect of this amendment is to incorporate the forms used for reporting irrigation water use into the correct rule and establish a new form number for each form.
