What it does

This bill relates to the adoption and use of certain general permits issued by the department of natural resources (DNR). Under current law, if a permit is required under Code chapter 455B, 459, 459A, or 459B for activities that result in storm water discharge or air contamination, DNR may issue, modify, deny, or revoke a general permit when a facility is representative of a class of facilities that could be described and conditioned by a single permit. After a general permit takes effect, a permittee is required to provide public notice of intent to conduct activities under a general permit by publishing notice in one newspaper with the largest circulation in the area in which the facility is located.
