CS/SB 7040 (Environment and Natural Resources Committee) and CS/HB 7053 (Water Quality, Supply and Treatment Subcommittee) ratify the Department of Environmental Protection’s revisions to the stormwater rules within Chapter 62-330, Florida Administrative Code, with additional changes, including: (1) clarifying provisions relating to grandfathered projects; (2) providing that entities implementing stormwater best management practices also regulated under different provisions of law are not subject to duplicate inspections for the same practices; and (3) allowing alternative treatment standards for redevelopment projects in areas with impaired waters. CS/SB 7040 was amended to include additional grandfathering for projects for which a rezoning application was submitted before January 1, 2024, and development of regional impact projects was approved before January 1, 2024. CS/HB 7053 was amended to include additional grandfathering for stormwater management plans and designs included with a project associated with an application for site plan or subdivision plat approval submitted before January 1, 2024, as well as grandfathering for valid development of regional impact (DRI) projects with a development order approved prior to January 1, 2024, and grandfathering for planned unit development (PUD) projects with an approved final development plan prior to January 1, 2024. The DRI development order grandfathering provision terminates in 2044, and the PUD grandfathering provision terminates in 2034. CS/SB 7040 passed the Senate (37-0) and is awaiting action by the House. (O’Hara)
