Delaying implementation of water quality restoration plans sounds like a bad idea doesn’t it? But, that’s exactly what our legislators are trying to do.
SB 1510: Department of Environmental Protection by Senator Massullo includes a sneaky provision that delays Basin Management Action Plans from going into effect for 60 days after being adopted by DEP. What good does delaying these plans do other than keeping the door open for polluters?
The house companion bill was amended this week to remove this concerning provision, and now we’re asking our senators to vote no on SB 1510 as long as the BMAP delay remains in the bill.
SB 1510 is being voted on in the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee on Monday, March 2 at 12 p.m. We need you to join us in asking senators to vote no on SB 1510.
This unnecessary delay included in SB 1510 will allow developers to install more conventional septic tanks in areas where they’d otherwise be prohibited. This could leave homeowners and taxpayers to clean up the mess and be responsible for replacing these conventional septic tanks with advanced systems. Why should we delay restoration, allowing more pollution to enter our springs, and leave the cost and burden to our homeowners and taxpayers?
Floridians have waited long enough for clean springs, rivers, and estuaries, any further delay is unacceptable and contrary to the public’s interest. We need the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee to remove this provision before it's too late.
