• • The term "CAPROC" (Conditional Approval Pending Receipt of Changes) is explained (Section 5). Until now a CAPROC has not explicitly been limited in duration. Under the proposed rule, a CAPROC would expire in 12 months if pending conditions are not met, requiring a property owner to reapply in order to proceed with the work. • The requirement to submit proof that permit applications have been submitted to other regulatory entities (present Section 9) would be deleted. It is a property owner's responsibility to identify and obtain all required permits. • The present rule requires a complete application to include the project surety (Section 3). Recognizing that the surety amount might not be determined until the project design is finalized and that there is not a need for a surety before work begins, the District proposes to delete this requirement. Instead, a surety would need to be submitted before an approved permit is issued. • Language would be added (Section 6) to clarify that the RCWD has the authority to amend the conditions of a permit on renewal, if new circumstances warrant. For the first renewal, a permit would not be subject to change due to a change in the Rules themselves; in other words, for three years a permittee would be assured that an approved development design is deemed in accordance with District requirements. • At present, any surety requirement of Tess than $5,000 must be met with a cash surety for the purpose of administrative handling. The proposed rule would raise this figure to $10,000 (Paragraph 9(b)). • The proposed rule would provide for the Board of Managers, by resolution, to delegate permitting authority to the District Administrator (Section 3). This revision contemplates the Board's exploring permitting efficiencies by authorizing District staff to issue permits for certain activities. Finally, on April 27, 2005, the RCWD Board of Managers adopted Resolution 2005 -06 revising Rule B to remove the schedule of permit fees from the rule. Instead, the permit fee schedule is adopted and adjusted from time to time by Board resolution. The proposed rule would also remove surety amounts from the rule and provide, similarly, for those amounts to be set and adjusted by Board resolution (Section 9). 4
