40D-1.659: Forms and Instructions
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The District needs accurate water use data from permittees to fulfill its statutory responsibilities and to protect the state’s water resource. This information is crucial in determining permit compliance, calculating conservation credits, estimating water use and for use in water supply planning. District rules require that flow meters required by Water Use Permits be tested for accuracy every 5 years. Currently permittees have their flow meters tested and submit the information in many different formats. To ensure that the testing is properly performed so that the flow meters are accurately tested and results reported, standardized testing and reporting requirements and a standardized test report form have been developed. The proposed rule amendments incorporate the new flow meter accuracy test form.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendments will adopt a flow meter test form to be used to demonstrate meter testing and reporting accuracy as required by Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C., Water Use Permits.
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.
