The Suwannee River Water Management District (District) gives notice that it is initiating rulemaking for the purpose of amending water well rules to remove unnecessary definitions, align definitions with 373.303, F.S., clarify additional terms used in rule text; incorporate FDEP rules and forms, extend exemptions to all water well activities, clarify permit application and completion report requirements, re-format the application fee table, eliminate the elevation survey and venting requirements for wells drilled in a floodplain, eliminate the drill cutting collection requirement in contaminated areas, and eliminate the requirement for the District to designate areas where well pumps can be periodically removed. The effect will be more understandable and streamlined rules; and reduced regulatory burdens.
