On remand from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case No.: 04-21448-Civ-Gold/McAliley), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has disapproved portions of Rule 62-302.540, F.A.C. as being inconsistent with the Federal Clean Water Act. The Department is amending Rule 62-302.540, F.A.C., to delete those portions of the Rule that were disapproved by EPA and to ensure consistency with the Federal Clean Water Act and the Court’s orders.
