On May 25, 2007, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP),
initiated rule development to adopt new stormwater permitting rules for Florida.
The rules will be set forth in new Chapter 62-347, F.A.C. Similar rules are
expected to be considered for incorporation into each of the water management
districts’ rules or adopted separately by the water management districts. On
June 1, 2007, the South Florida Water Management District also initiated rule
development to incorporate new Rule 62-347, F.A.C.
The rules are expected to reflect new research on design and performance
standards for stormwater systems and emphasize today’s understanding of the
impact of nutrient discharges from surface water management systems on water
quality. The new rules are expected to continue to use a reasonable assurance
standard for the evaluation of permit applications.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are expected to be relied on. BMPs will likely
include: retention systems; biofiltration systems; exfiltration trenches; swale
systems; wet detention; wetland surface water management systems; reuse; and
vegetated natural buffers.
Rule text was not published with the initial notice of rulemaking. A technical
advisory committee is expected to be set up late in the year to provide input.
Rule workshops will then be held throughout the state by DEP with the
participation of the water management districts. The effective date goal for the
rule is January 1, 2009.
