Summary


Business entities such as corporations and partnerships are frequently applicants for Environmental Resource Permits (ERPs). Compliance difficulties can arise with permits issued to business entities if the permittee is not accurately identified. For example, a permit issued to an entity that is not properly incorporated, or in an incorrect name, may not be enforceable. The revisions to the ERP Application, Form 542.27/ERP (2/05), request information on applicants who are corporations, partnerships or trusts. The requested information will ensure that ERPs are issued to legal entities, in the correct name. The amendment of Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., incorporates the revised form.
