The Department has scheduled additional public workshops to address proposed revisions to Chapter 62-306, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), Water Quality Credit Trading, as follows:

DATE AND TIME: Wednesday, January 14, 2015, 9:00 a.m. PLACE: Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Central District Office, 3319 Maguire Boulevard, Suite 232, Conference Rooms A/B/C, Orlando, Florida

DATE AND TIME: Thursday, January 15, 2015, 9:00 a.m. PLACE: Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Bob Martinez Center, Conference Room 609, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida

This is a follow-up to public workshops held on August 20, 2014 (Tallahassee) and August 27, 2014 (Palm Bay).  Two copies of the draft rule language are attached: (1) a coded copy with underline/strike thru showing changes from the currently adopted rule, and (2) a clean copy of the proposed rule with draft changes accepted.  There are extensive proposed revisions to Chapter 62-306, F.A.C., so the clean copy may be helpful.  The draft rule language will be discussed at the public workshops above.  Also attached is a copy of the draft affidavit that would be used to submit information about a proposed trade.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information about this rulemaking effort.
