40D-1.659: Forms and Instructions
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rulemaking is to incorporate by reference a revised Supplemental Form that is submitted as part of a Water Use Permit application for withdrawals located within the Southern Water Use Caution Area of the District. The effect will be to eliminate the requirement to attach an Alternative Water Supply Feasibility Report as part of the documentation submittal requirements for completing applications to renew or modify small general water use permits (withdrawals of less than 100,000 gallons per day on an annual average basis), provided the applicant certifies that use of alternative water supplies is not feasible.
SUMMARY: Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., incorporates by reference a revised Supplemental Form to be used for all Water Use Permit applications for water withdrawals located or to be located within the Southern Water Use Caution Area of the District. The revised form eliminates the requirement to attach an Alternative Water Supply Feasibility Report for those applicants seeking to modify or renew existing small general water use permits (withdrawals of less than 100,000 gallons per day on an annual average basis). Instead, such applicants will be required to certify that consideration has been given to using alternative water supplies, and that specific types of alternative water supplies are not technically, economically or environmentally feasible as a source of water for the intended use.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: No Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost was prepared.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
