- Water Management Districts
- St. Johns River Water Management District
- The purpose and effect of this rulemaking is to amend rules of the St. Johns River Water Management District (District) consistent with section 373.4131, F.S. (2012), which requires the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in coordination with the five water management districts (WMDs) to develop statewide environmental resource permit (ERP) rules. These rules are to rely primarily upon existing rules of DEP and the WMDs, but may be revised as necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective, and streamlined approach in the state’s ERP program. To implement section 373.4131, F.S., DEP has initiated rulemaking to revise Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. Some examples of subjects covered in DEP’s rulemaking for Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., include: permitting thresholds; permit exemptions; types of permits; permit fee categories; application and notice content and submittal procedures; procedures for processing ERP applications (including variances and general permits); conditions for issuance; and formal wetland determinations of the landward extent of wetlands and other surface waters. As part of its rulemaking, DEP also intends to incorporate by reference documents that will be known as an Applicant’s Handbook (AH). Two volumes of the AH will apply in each WMD: (1) one volume that will include general and environmental criteria and procedures and forms, which volume will apply statewide (AH Volume I); and (2) a second volume, specific to, and adopted by, the WMD that will set forth design and performance standards for stormwater quality and quantity, and include drainage basin designations and basin-specific rules within the WMD (Applicant’s Handbook, Volume II). DEP’s proposed rulemaking for Chapter 62-330, F.A.C., will necessitate changes to the District’s Chapter 40C-1, F.A.C.
To make the District’s rules consistent with DEP’s Chapter 62-330, the District proposes the following changes to Chapter 40C-1: (1) amend rule 40C-1.1009 to conform to DEP’s amendments to Chapter 62-330, because systems that currently require a permit under Chapters 40C-4, 40C-40, 40C-42, or 40C-400, F.A.C., will now require a permit under Chapter 62-330; (2) amend rules 40C-1.135 and 40C-1.602 to conform to DEP’s amendments to Chapter 62-330 regarding types of permits and delete references to permit types currently issued pursuant to Chapters 40C-4, 40C-40, 40C-42, or 40C-400 that will become 62-330 permits; (3) amend rule 40C-1.603 to conform to DEP’s amendments to Chapter 62-330 by simplifying ERP fees categories consistent with proposed statewide fees categories, and revising most ERP fees (due to the changes in ERP fees categories) in a manner that will not increase fees (and may reduce fees for certain environmental restoration or stormwater retrofit projects and projects consistent with a conceptual permit), including providing a limited (approximately two years) grandfathering provision for the cost of modifying existing 40C-4, 40C-40, and 40C-42 permits, providing free verification of a noticed exemption for certain minor silvicultural surface water management systems authorized under 62-330.0511, and providing a fee exemption for applications by the U.S. Department of Defense for a permit under Chapter 62-330; (4) amend rule 40C-1.608 to conform to DEP’s amendments to Chapter 62-330 by changing the Applicant’s Handbook reference to the equivalent provision in subsection 10.2.1 of the new Applicant’s Handbook Volume I that will be incorporated by reference in rules 62-330.010(4) and 40C-4.091(1); and (5) amend rule 40C-1.612 to conform to: (a) DEP’s amendments to Chapter 62-330 by deleting references to the transfer of ERPs under Chapters 40C-4, 40C-40, 40C-42, or 40C-400, because ERPs will now be issued pursuant to Chapter 62-330 and the transfer of 62-330 permits will be governed by new rules 62-330.310 and 62-330.340, (b) provide criteria governing the transfer of ERPs under 40C-44, and (c) provide a limited grandfathering provision for the transfer of ERPs issued under Chapters 40C-4, 40C-40, or 40C-42 that pre-date the amendments to Chapter 62-330.
After DEP’s amendments to Chapter 62-330 become effective, the District will repeal the following four rules that will be superseded by Chapter 62-330, using the procedure described in paragraph 373.4131(2)(c), F.S.: (1) 40C-1.1002 (variances under section 373.414, F.S.); (2) 40C-1.1006 (formal wetland determinations); (3) 40C-1.1013 (processing procedures for noticed general permits); and (4) 40C-1.604 (conceptual approval permit procedures).
- By notice published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on August 24, 2012, the St. Johns River Water Management District (“SJRWMD”) initiated rulemaking to amend its rules consistent with Section 373.4131, F.S. Section 373.4131, F.S. became effective on July 1, 2012, and requires the Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) in coordination with the five water management districts (“WMDs”) to develop statewide environmental resource permitting (“ERP”) rules. These rules are to rely primarily upon existing rules of the DEP and WMDs, but may be revised as necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective and streamlined approach in the state’s ERP program.
To implement 373.4131(1), F.S., DEP has initiated rulemaking to revise Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. As part of its rulemaking, DEP intends to incorporate by reference documents to be known collectively as an applicant’s handbook. Two volumes of the applicant’s handbook will apply in each WMD: (1) one volume that will include general and environmental procedures and forms that will apply statewide (Volume I) and (2) a second volume specific to, and adopted by, the WMD (Volume II) that will (a) set forth design and performance standards for stormwater quality and quantity, (b) include drainage basin designations and basin specific rules within the WMD and (c) address any District-specific thresholds and exemptions referenced in chapter 62-330. These volumes will replace the SJRWMD’s existing handbooks, including “Applicant’s Handbook: Management and Storage of Surface Waters (December 27, 2010)” (MSSW Handbook).
Rule 40C-4.091 incorporates by reference certain portions of the MSSW Handbook. Many, but not all, of the provisions in this handbook will be superseded by provisions in the new state-wide Volume I. Therefore, Rule 40C-4.091 will be amended to delete reference to the District’s existing MSSW Applicant’s Handbook and incorporate by reference applicable portions of SJRWMD Volume II. The incorporated portions include or are based on existing provisions in the District’s MSSW Handbook and, in some instances, SJRWMD’s “Applicant’s Handbook : Regulation of Stormwater Management Systems (Chapter 40C-42)” (December 27, 2010)(Stormwater Handbook) and “Applicant’s Handbook: Agricultural Surface Water Management Systems (Chapter 40C-44)” (December 27, 2010) (Agricultural Handbook). For example, except for the definitions of “floodway” and “hydrologically sensitive area” (existing definitions in the MSSW Handbook), all of the definitions in section 2.1 of Volume II are existing rule definitions from the Stormwater Handbook, and sections 13.6 through 13.6.3 (“Special Karst Area Basin Design Criteria”) are existing provisions from the Stormwater Handbook. In sum, the purpose and effect of the proposed amendments to Rule 40C-4.091 are to reflect adoption of the statewide ERP rules that will include a new Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook.
With the exception of rules 40C-4.031 and 40C-4.091, the remaining rules in chapter 40C-4 will be repealed in accordance with section 373.4131(2)(c), F.S.
- By notice published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on August 24, 2012, the St. Johns River Water Management District (“SJRWMD”) initiated rulemaking to amend its rules consistent with Section 373.4131, F.S. Section 373.4131, F.S. became effective on July 1, 2012, and requires the Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) in coordination with the five water management districts (“WMDs”) to develop statewide environmental resource permitting (“ERP”) rules. These rules are to rely primarily upon existing rules of the DEP and WMDs, but may be revised as necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective and streamlined approach in the state’s ERP program.

These volumes will replace the SJRWMD’s existing handbooks, including “Applicant’s Handbook : Regulation of Stormwater Management Systems (Chapter 40C-42)” (December 27, 2010) (Stormwater Handbook)
Rule 40C-42.091 incorporates by reference portions of the Stormwater Handbook that describe design and performance standards and criteria for water quality and quantity for stormwater management systems, including alternative criteria for those systems. The District will continue to evaluate ERP applications under the statewide ERP rules in light of these standards and criteria. Therefore, Rule 40C-42.091 will be amended to delete reference to the District’s existing Stormwater Handbook and incorporate by reference applicable portions of SJRWMD Volume II. The incorporated portions include or are based on existing provisions in rule 40C-42 and the District’s Stormwater Handbook, updated as necessary to reflect DEP’s adoption of amendments to Chapter 62-330. In sum, the proposed amendments to Rule 40C-42.091 are designed to reflect adoption of the statewide ERP rules that will include a new Environmental Resource Permit Applicant’s Handbook.
With the exception of rule 40C-42.091, the remaining rules in chapter 40C-42 will be repealed in accordance with subparagraph 373.4131(2)(c), F.S.

These volumes will replace and/or amend SJRWMD’s existing Applicant’s Handbooks, including “Applicant’s Handbook: Agricultural Surface Water Management Systems (Chapter 40C-44, F.A.C.)” (December 27, 2010) (Agricultural Handbook).
During the rulemaking process, DEP has indicated that the statewide environmental resource permitting rules will be designed so that they do not substantively affect agricultural or silvicultural activities within each WMD. Consistent with this goal, the new statewide ERP rules in Chapter 62-330 will incorporate by reference the District’s existing rules in Chapter 40C-44 regarding agricultural surface water management systems.
The purposes of the proposed rule amendments to Chapter 40C-44 are to: (1) delete or update references to rule chapters 40C-4 and 40C-40 and Applicant’s Handbook Sections that will be superseded by Chapter 62-330 and new Applicant’s Handbook volumes; (2) make any other necessary changes to reflect adoption of the statewide ERP rules; and (3) implement amendments consistent with the District’s 2012-2013 Regulatory Plan. None of the proposed amendments are designed to create changes in the substantive requirements for agricultural surface water management systems under Chapter 40C-44 within SJRWMD.

These volumes will replace the SJRWMD’s existing handbooks.
Section 62-330.301 as proposed by DEP will require applicants to show that a regulated activity complies with any applicable special basin or geographic criteria established in the rules of the WMD where a regulated activity is proposed. Within SJRWMD, applicants for an environmental resource permit must, therefore, show that their proposed activity complies with Chapter 40C-41 and applicable sections of Volume I and SJRWMD’s Volume II. The purposes of the proposed rule amendments to Chapter 40C-41 are to: (1) delete or update references to rule chapters 40C-4, 40C-40, 40C-42 and 40C-400 and to sections of SJRWMD’s existing handbooks, that will be superseded by Chapter 62-330 and by Volume I and SJRWMD’s Volume II; and (2) make any other necessary changes to reflect adoption of statewide ERP rules. None of the proposed amendments are designed to change the substantive requirements of SJRWMD’s special basin criteria.
