Summary


As to those rule amendments related to the Small General WUP category, Rule 40D-2.041, F.A.C., is amended to define the Individual, General and Small General WUP categories, as the General WUP category will now include some water uses that previously would have been considered as Small General WUPs. Rule 40D-2.621, F.A.C., is amended to limit water-conserving credits to General and Individual WUPs. Rule 40D-2.091, F.A.C., is amended to adopt an updated version of the District’s BOR, which is being revised to reduce the permit application submittal and compliance monitoring requirements for Small General WUPs. BOR sections 1.9, 1.11 and Rule 40D-2.321, F.A.C., are also amended to delete provisions relating to the District’s one-time permit renewal redistribution process for Small General and General WUPs, as this process has been completed and is no longer needed. Rule 40D-2.621, F.A.C., is amended to clarify that water-conserving credits are applicable to Individual and General WUPs issued in the Southern Water Use Caution Area of the District and may be used for the water source for which they were earned. Several additional BOR sections are amended to clarify those reporting and other information requirements that apply only to Individual and General WUPS and do not apply to Small General WUPs. As to those amendments not specifically limited to Small General WUPs, Rule 40D-2.021, F.A.C., is revised to identify more correctly those definitions that apply only in the Southern Water Use Caution Area. Rule 40D-2.091, F.A.C., is amended to move the list of irrigation water use forms used for monitoring purposes to Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C. Rule 40D-2.501, F.A.C., is amended to use the term “permit use types” instead of “permit classification” when referring to the types of water uses authorized in WUPs. BOR sections 1.4, 1.6, 3.6, 3.7 are amended to clarify the use of forms for permit applications and for reporting irrigation water use.
