16
17	Section 1.  Subsection (7) is added to section 373.453,
18	Florida Statutes, to read:
19	373.453  Surface water improvement and management plans and
20	programs.-
21	(7)(a)  Each water management district shall establish a
22	permitting program for urban redevelopment projects located
23	within a community redevelopment area created under chapter 163
24	or an urban infill and redevelopment area designated under s.
25	163.2517.
26	(b)  A jurisdiction with a community redevelopment area or
27	an urban infill and redevelopment area may develop a stormwater
28	adaptive management plan to address stormwater quantity
29	discharge for the redevelopment area. Effective July 1, 2011,
30	the rate of stormwater discharge from a redevelopment area under
31	this subsection may not exceed the maximum rate of stormwater
32	discharge within the area as of that date.
33	(c)  Stormwater discharge from a community redevelopment
34	area or an urban infill and redevelopment area into waters of
35	the state must meet state water quality standards at the point
36	of discharge. If numeric criteria for pollutants of concern are
37	not established for a water body, any stormwater discharge under
38	this subsection into such a water body may not degrade the water
39	body beyond its existing classification. Any discharge of
40	stormwater under this subsection into an impaired water body is
41	authorized only to the extent that the discharge reduces the
42	daily loading for pollutants of concern by 10 percent from the
43	predevelopment condition of the water body to its
44	postdevelopment condition.
45	Section 2.  This act shall take effect July 1, 2011.
