A RESOLUTION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY,
FLORIDA, TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATION REGARDING DELEGATION OF
CERTAIN UTILITY PERMITTING AUTHORITY
UNDER SECTION 403.1815, FLORIDA
STATUTES.
WHEREAS, Section 403.1815, Florida Statutes, allows the Florida
Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER), upon request, to allow any
county to independently regulate the construction of water distribution mains
of 12 -inches or less, gravity sewage collection systems of 12 -inches or less,
and sewage force mains of 12 -inches or less, and pump stations appurtenant
to such force mains, provided that the plant is owned by the county making
the request;
WHEREAS, in considering such request the FDER shall determine the
administrative and engineering ability of the county to administer and comply
with the requirements of Section 403.1815, F.S.; and
WHEREAS, Indian River County believes that its Department of Utility
Services is qualified to administer and comply with the aforementioned
requirements;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
1. The Secretary of the FDER is respectfully requested to consider
delegating the permitting requirements under Section 403.1815, F.S. ,
for the utility facilities authorized in the referenced section.
2. An invitation is extended to the Secretary of the FDER to visit Indian
River County and be shown the utility facility and the staff operations
of the Department of Utility Services. The County agrees to sponsor
this trip, since the County believes that the information to be learned
from a visit by the Secretary will convince the FDER that the County is
amply qualified to undertake its own permitting.
3. The Department of Utility Services is authorized and directed to comply
fully with the FDER in its application process and, if local regulation is
allowed, to complete such monthly reports and other studies as are
required by the FDER.
