Chapter 40E-5 - ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE
Section 40E-5.041 - Permits Required

(1) Unless expressly exempt by law or District rule, a permit is required pursuant to this chapter to operate an artificial recharge system. The permit applicant shall provide reasonable assurances that the proposed activity meets the criteria set forth in Rule 40E-5.301, F.A.C. In the event the project also requires a consumptive use permit pursuant to Chapter 40E-2, F.A.C., demonstration of reasonable assurances required under Rule 40E-5.301, F.A.C., shall be made in conjunction with application for such permit and a consolidated permit will be issued.

(2) Operation of all artificial recharge systems existing at the time of adoption of this rule may be continued only with a permit issued as provided herein. Application for a permit under the provisions of this rule for existing artificial recharge systems that are not currently approved under an existing consumptive use permit shall be made within a period of two years from the effective date of implementation of this rule.

(3) Nothing herein relieves the applicant from complying with the requirements of the UIC program including the acquisition of and compliance with permits issued pursuant to Chapter 62-528, F.A.C.
