Chapter 2008-231, Laws of Florida, establishes the Clean Ocean Act and requires the Department to develop rules to implement its requirements. Therefore, the Department is initiating rule development for Ch. 62-606, F.A.C., for releases of wastes from gambling vessels operating within Florida coastal waters. Among other requirements, Ch. 62-606, F.A.C., will provide definitions and require gambling boat owner/operators to register their vessels with the Department. The rule will also require an owner/operator of a gambling vessel berth location to establish procedures for the release of waste from gambling vessels and to make available a waste-management service to handle and dispose of the vessel’s waste.
