Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN><SPAN>Consumptive use of water is broadly defined as any use of water which reduces the supply from which it is withdrawn or diverted. The consumptive use of water in the State of Florida is regulated by the water management districts, as prescribed in Part II of Chapter 373, F.S. This authority applies to public water supplies, agricultural and landscape irrigation, contamination clean-up, commercial/industrial uses, and dewatering/mining activities. Water uses which are exempt from the permitting process include domestic uses for potable and home irrigation and water used for fire fighting. In addition to Consumptive Use Permits, the District has been given the responsibility to permit water well construction activities. Water Use permit applications filed with the District are reviewed under administrative rule Chapters 40E-2 and 40E-20, F.A.C. Well construction requests are reviewed under Chapters 40E-3 and 40E-30, F.A.C. Detailed technical criteria are contained in the "Basis of Review for Water Use" which is incorporated by reference in the above rules. Individual permits are issued for project which exceed a monthly use of 15 million gallons per month (MGM). There are two types of General Permits (GP's): 1) minor GP's which use less than 3 MGM and 2) major GP's which use between 3 MGM and 15 MGM. All applications for water use are reviewed under a "three-pronged" test outlined in Chapter 373, F.S. The first "prong" deals with the nature of the proposed use. The applicant must demonstrate that the use is "reasonable and beneficial". This standard requires the prevention of wasteful or excessive uses of water and a demonstration by the applicant requiring water conservation, urban demand management, and high-efficiency irrigation systems in addition to the use of the lowest quality of water for the intended purpose. The second "prong" requires the applicant to demonstrate that the use is consistent with the public interest. Under this provision, impacts to the resources of the State, including environmental, navigation, consistency with minimum flows and levels from the water source, and public recreation, must be evaluated. The third "prong" of the permit evaluation requires the applicant to assure that the use will not result in adverse impacts to existing legal users. Existing legal users are defined as those authorized under a valid permit or are otherwise exempt. Water Use Permits are issued for fixed durations, generally ranging from 1 year to 20 years, depending on the proposed use and resource considerations at the time of permitting. They must be renewed upon expiration to continue the use. This allows the District to consider and incorporate new rules or standards in existing permits at the time of renewal. In order to facilitate use of water use permits these are divided into four feature classess based on water use as follows: Public Water Supply, Diversion and Impoundments, Dewatering, and Primary (contains all other water uses).</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
