On February 14, 2014, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection published notice of its intent to undertake rulemaking to eliminate the requirement for sand and limestone mines to obtain a General Wastewater Permit under Rule 62-660.804, Florida Administrative Code, if the mines already have or are required to obtain an environmental resource permit (ERP), since a general ERP exists that also regulates the mine discharges. A rule development workshop will be held on March 5, 2014.
