1. Notices of Development of Proposed Rules and Negotiated Rulemaking
- Department of Environmental Protection
- Departmental
- To incorporate by reference an Agreement between the Department of Environmental Protection, the South Florida Water Management District and Miami-Dade County for delegation of a portion of the Environmental Resource Permitting Program. Miami-Dade County will be delegated authority to review and issue environmental resource permits in uplands and wetlands within the designated boundaries of delegation. Authority for compliance and enforcement of these projects will also be delegated. Projects that are within Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Project boundaries, sovereign submerged lands, and certain other activities will not be delegated to the County and will remain with the Department of Environmental Protection or the South Florida Water Management District.
- The proposed rule development involves amendments to Chapter 62-213, F.A.C., to increase the annual Title V emissions fee factor, and to provide that the Title V permit serve as written notice to the Title V source of the annual requirement for submission of the emissions fee. This notice corrects the Notice of Rule Development that was published on July 13, 2007.
- The Department proposes to repeal the partial delegation of the stormwater discharge permitting program under Chapter 62-25, F.A.C., to the City of Tallahassee. This delegation was granted to the City on January 29, 1998, per the Delegation Agreement incorporated by reference in paragraph 62-113.100(2)(o), F.A.C. With the exception of certain activities authorized in accordance with Section 373.4145(6), F.S., Chapter 62-25, F.A.C., will no longer be used to authorize new stormwater management systems within the geographic limits of the Northwest Florida Water Management District, including within the City of Tallahassee, beginning on October 1, 2007, when Phase 1 of the new Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) program authorized under Section 373.4145, F.S., becomes effective. The City has elected, at this time, not to pursue delegation of the new ERP program. Therefore, the Department has served notice to the City of its intent to terminate the Delegation Agreement, effective on the close of business, Friday, September 28, 2007, and must repeal the incorporation by reference of this Agreement in Chapter 62-113, F.A.C. However, the City will remain responsible for the review and agency action on applications for stormwater general permits under the terms of the Delegation Agreement that are complete on or before September 28, 2007. The City also will remain responsible for compliance and enforcement for those stormwater discharge systems that were permitted by the City under the terms of the Delegation Agreement. The review, agency action, compliance, and enforcement on all other applications for new stormwater management systems that require a permit under the ERP rules authorized under Section 373.4145, F.S., on or after October 1, 2007, will be the responsibility of the Department or the Northwest Florida Water Management District, in accordance with those rules. This repeal will not change the authority of the City to continue requiring a separate authorization to construct and operate such systems after the termination of the Delegation Agreement.
