SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
RULE CHAPTER TITLE: RULE CHAPTER NO.:
Procedural 40D-1, F.A.C.
RULE TITLE: RULE NO.:
Application Procedures for Conceptual,
Individual and Standard General
Surface Water Permits and
Individual Water Use Permits 40D-1.603
Limiting Conditions 40D-1.6105
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Entities with the power of eminent domain
sometimes need to obtain Environmental Resource Permits (ERPs)
prior to their obtaining ownership of property encompassed by the
project area described in an ERP application. Under such
circumstances an authorized representative of the entity signs the
permit application, which is submitted prior to the entity
acquiring ownership of the project area. Because the District's
current noticing procedure does not address this situation, the
actual owners of the property may not receive notice of the permit
application, or the District's action regarding the permit. The
purpose and effect of the rule amendments to 40D-1.603 is to
provide a noticing procedure for the actual property owners when an
entity with the power of eminent domain applies for an Individual
1 -
or Standard General ERP. Under the procedure the District will
mail the property owners identified in the application both a
notice of receipt of application and a notice of agency action for
individual and standard general permit applications.
The rule amendments also address the limiting conditions contained
in Rule 40D-1.6105, F.A.C., by adding that permits can be issued
contingent upon the power to acquire property rights through
eminent domain.
SUMMARY: The rule amendments address the noticing procedure the
District will follow when an entity with the power of eminent
domain applies for an Individual or Standard General ERP. The rule
amendments also address the District's permitting procedures by
adding the power to acquire property through eminent domain as part
of the limiting conditions.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST: A Statement of
Estimated Regulatory Cost is not being prepared based on the
District's determination that the proposed revisions to 40D-1.603
and 40D-1.6105, F.A.C., will not result in a substantial increase
in costs to affected parties and there will not be significant
adverse effects on competition, employment, investment or
productivity. Any person who wishes to provide information
regarding the statement of estimated regulatory costs, or to
2 -
provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do
so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

RULE TITLE: RULE NO.:

Noticed General Permits 40D-400.211
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Entities with the power of eminent domain may
need to obtain Environmental Resource Permits (ERPs) prior to their
obtaining ownership of property encompassed by the project area
described in an ERP application. Under such circumstances an
authorized representative signs the permit application, which is
submitted prior to the entity acquiring ownership of the project
area. Because the District's current processing procedure for
Noticed General ERPs does not address this situation, the actual
owners of the land may not receive notice of the permit
application, or the District's action regarding the permit. The
purpose and effect of the rule amendment is to provide a noticing
procedure for the actual property owners when an entity with the
power of eminent domain submits an application for a Noticed
General ERP. For these Noticed General ERP applications, the
District will mail notice to the property owners identified in the
1 -
application within three days of its receipt of the permit application.
SUMMARY: The rule amendment addresses the noticing procedure that
the District will follow when an entity with the power of eminent
domain applies for a Noticed General ERP.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST: A Statement of
Estimated Regulatory Cost is not being prepared based on the
District's determination that the proposed revisions to
40D-400.211, F.A.C., will not result in a substantial increase in
costs to affected parties and there will not be significant adverse
effects on competition, employment, investment or productivity.
