Purpose


The Department proposes to correct citations and references in Chapter 62-342, F.A.C., “Mitigation Banks,” resulting from adoption of the new Statewide Environmental Resource Permitting rule Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., effective October 1, 2013, and repeal of rules in Chapter 62-312, F.A.C., and repeal of Chapter 62-343, F.A.C., effective November 25, 2013. Specifically, Rule 62-342.200 and paragraph 62-342.750(1)(c), refer to the success criteria in Rule 62-312.350, F.A.C., which is now repealed. The last effective date of Chapter 62-312, F.A.C., that existed prior to its repeal (March 15, 2007), needs to be added to the above provisions in Chapter 62-342, F.A.C., so that mitigation bankers can continue to rely on those criteria.
