Abstract

This Part of Chapter 378 of the Florida Statutes contains general provisions regarding land reclamation. Its purpose is to provide an economic incentive to encourage the reclamation of the maximum number of acres of eligible nonmandatory lands in the most timely and efficient manner or the donation or purchase of nonmandatory lands, especially those lands for which reclamation activities will result in significant improvements to surface water bodies of regional importance in those areas of the state where phosphate mining has been permitted. The Part further creates the Nonmandatory Land Reclamation Committee; creation and provides for its composition; adopts rules for submission of a reclamation program request, and its procedures; determines the Department’s responsibilities and duties with respect to Nonmandatory Land Reclamation Trust Fund; and regulates the acquisitions financed by Nonmandatory Land Reclamation Trust Fund moneys.
