(1) The permit authorizing construction or alteration must be converted to the operation and maintenance phase once the construction or alteration has been completed. The construction or alteration authorized under an individual permit must be certified to be in compliance with the permit before conversion of the permit to the operation and maintenance phase. Procedures for converting the permit to the operation and maintenance phase, and transferring the permit to the perpetual operation and maintenance entity are described in sections 12.2 and 12.2.1 of Volume I.
(2) If a separate entity is to operate and maintain the project, the entity must have the financial, legal, and administrative capability to perform operation and maintenance, as described in sections 12.1 through 12.3.4 of Volume I. Transfer of the permit to the operation and maintenance entity that was approved as part of the permit does not require a permit modification.
(3) If the permittee desires to change or add operation and maintenance entities after the permit is issued, or to allow for multiple entities to operate portions of the project, a permit modification under Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-330.315, must be requested and approved before transfer of the permit to the new entity or entities. Such permit modification request must include a demonstration that the new entity or entities meet the requirements of subsection (2), above. If an interdependent system will have multiple operation and maintenance entities, that modification request must also demonstrate that each entity that will operate and maintain an interdependent part of the system has the capability to operate and maintain all parts of the system necessary to remain in compliance with all conditions of the permit.
