• Proposed Rules (2)
  • The Department is proposing to amend Chapter 62-701, F.A.C., which contains regulations for a wide variety of solid waste facilities including landfills, construction and demolition (C&D) debris disposal facilities, and waste processing and recycling facilities. This chapter was last amended with an effective date of August 12, 2012. Subsection 403.707(9), F.S., requires that all construction and demolition debris landfills be constructed with liners and leachate control systems. Amendments are being made to the chapter to implement these changes in the statutes. In addition, a number of simplifying changes are being proposed to the chapter with the goals of: (1) reducing unnecessary regulations; (2) reducing costs to the regulated community; and, (3) clarifying existing regulations. These measures will result in a significant savings to the regulated community while continuing to provide effective environmental protection.
  • To repeal a rule and the six forms incorporated therein that were reviewed during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary. At that time, it was determined that four of the forms were obsolete, one possibly should be amended, and one should be retained. However, since that time, it has been determined that all of Forms 62-312.900(1) through (6) are obsolete and no longer needed. Form 62-312.900(1) Joint Application for Works in the Waters of Florida, October 30, 1991 – This application applied only in the geographical territory of the Northwest Florida Water Management District. It was replaced by adoption of a Joint Application in the new Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., effective October 1, 2007, which was subsequently replaced by the Joint Application form adopted in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., that applies state-wide, effective October 1, 2013. Therefore, this form is no longer needed. After repeal of this rule, other rules incorporating the repealed rule will be revised. Form 62-312.900(2) Joint U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/Florida Department of Environmental Protection Emergency Permit, November 30, 1982 – This form is replaced by an emergency field authorization in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., effective October 1, 2013. Form 62-312.900(3) Recognition of Jurisdiction Under Chapters 253 and 403, Florida Statutes, November 30, 1982 – This is an acknowledgement that a proposed action is subject to review under these chapters in lieu of the Department requiring a mean high water line survey, which was optional and is not required. It is now considered unnecessary. Form 62-312.900(4) Application Guide for Deepwater Port Maintenance Dredging and Disposal 25-Year Permit, March 31, 1984, and its associated Deepwater Ports Maintenance Dredging Manual were last used in 1987 and are obsolete. Maintenance dredging, as addressed in Section 403.816, F.S., is now conducted under an exemption in Section 403.813(1)(f) or (3), F.S., or under an Environmental Resource Permit under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S. Form 62-312.900(5) Application for Long-Term Permits, October 16, 1984 – This form is no longer needed as it is replaced by the permits under Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. Form 62-312.900(6) Notice of Intent to Construct Works Pursuant to a Wetland Resource General Permit, October 30, 1991 – This form is no longer needed as it is replaced by Form 62-330.402(1), “Notice of Intent to Use an Environmental Resource General Permit,” adopted in Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., effective October 1, 2013. These forms are preserved for grandfathered activities. Entities who qualify for grandfathering under Section 373.4145(6)(b), F.S., applicants for permits for activities associated with certain mining operations under Section 373.414(15), F.S., and other entities qualifying for grandfathering under Sections 373.414 (11), (12), (13), (14), and (16), F.S., can continue to use this rule because, even if repealed, it is preserved as of the dates it existed in these statutory sections.

  • an emergency variance from rule 65G-1.047, from T.H., a medically complex and fragile 18-year old female, by and through Peter Digre, Deputy Secretary, Department of Children and Families. The rule sets forth crisis status for available waiver placement in a Home and Community-Based (HCBS) waiver (“waiver”) authorized by 42 U.S.C. 1396n(c) of the federal Social Security Act and section 409.906(13), F.S. Specifically, the rule establishes crisis status criteria whereby individuals determined to be in crisis are prioritized for available placements in order of severity of crisis relative to that of other applicants for crisis. The rule establishes a “first priority” for homeless applicants which includes those living in homeless shelters or in an unsafe environment. The rule provides for a “second priority” for those applicants who exhibit behaviors that are seriously harmful to themselves or others. Lastly, the rule provides a “third priority” where the applicant’s caregiver is in extreme duress and is no longer able to provide for the applicant’s health and safety because of illness, injury or advanced age, and immediate waiver services are necessary for the applicant to remain living with the caregiver or to relocate to an alternative living arrangement. Petitioner does not fall squarely within the priority crisis categories of the rule. Petitioner states that in her unique circumstances the rules creates an unintended substantial hardship for T.H. that would be inconsistent with the intent of the statute. Petitioner states that lack of funding from this program would displace T.H. from her facility and negatively impact her medical treatment, while enrolling her into the waiver would ensure continuity of T.H.’s care and serve the purposes of the HCBS program. Any interested person or other agency may submit written comments within 5 days after the publication of this notice. Comments received will be made a part of the record regarding the petition for emergency variance.
