Amendments to rules in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., Applicant’s Handbook Volume I, and sections in the Applicant’s Handbook Volume II within the Northwest Florida Water Management District. The amendments also include incorporating by reference updates made by other water management districts to their respective Applicant’s Handbook Volume II. The amendments will primarily make minor corrections and provide clarifications needed since the October 1, 2013, effective date of the statewide environmental resource permitting rules. Additional streamlining also is proposed in the form of such things as adding new exemptions, reducing submittal requirements, improving the linkage with federal permitting programs, and revising application and notice forms with the goal of reducing the number of requests for applicants to provide additional information.
