Florida’s New Stormwater Regulations Are Now Active - Are You Compliant?
The Clean Waterways Act and Senate Bill 7040 introduced stricter stormwater standards to enhance environmental protection and meet state water-quality goals.
These changes require properties to meet new operational and performance requirements:
- Performance benchmarks with stricter reductions for total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total suspended solids
- Updated Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Plans
- Regular inspections & reporting
- Operational Requirements deadline: June 28, 2025
- Performance Standards deadline: December 28, 2025
Failure to meet these standards can result in significant penalties, putting your property and investment at risk.
