Purpose


The purpose of the proposed rule development is to include the following provisions in the program rule: Ensure consistency with the rule and Chapter 374, F.S., consolidate rule references to the necessary permitting requirements prior to project funding; clarify the rule provisions for land acquisition and shoreline stabilization eligibility; add waterfront parks to the eligibility list; and correct the rule language to be consistent with the small-scale derelict vessel program. The effect of the rule development is to implement changes in the administration of the District's Assistance Programs that will assist the District and program applicants in the review and evaluation of applications submitted pursuant to the rule.
