4 Section 2. Section 373.41492, Florida Statutes, is
5 created to read:
6 373.41492 Miami-Dade County Lake Belt Mitigation Plan;
7 mitigation for mining activities within the Miami-Dade County
8 Lake Belt.--
9 (1) The Legislature finds that the impact of mining
10 within the rock mining supported and allowable areas of the
11 Miami-Dade County Lake Plan adopted by s. 373.4149(1) can best
12 be offset by the implementation of a comprehensive mitigation
13 plan as recommended in the 1998 Progress Report to the Florida
14 Legislature by the Miami-Dade County Lake Belt Plan
15 Implementation Committee. The Lake Belt Mitigation Plan
16 consists of those provisions contained in subsections (2)-(9).
17 The per-ton mitigation fee assessed on limestone sold from the
18 Miami-Dade County Lake Belt Area and sections 10, 11, 13, 14,
19 Township 52 South, Range 39 East, and sections 24, 25, 35, and
20 36, Township 53 South, Range 39 East, shall be used for
21 acquiring environmentally sensitive lands and for restoration,
22 maintenance, and other environmental purposes. It is the
23 intent of the Legislature that the per-ton mitigation fee
24 shall not be a revenue source for purposes other than
25 enumerated herein. Further, the Legislature finds that the
26 public benefit of a sustainable supply of limestone
27 construction materials for public and private projects
28 requires a coordinated approach to permitting activities on
29 wetlands within Miami-Dade County in order to provide the
30 certainty necessary to encourage substantial and continued
31 investment in the limestone processing plant and equipment
9

1 required to efficiently extract the limestone resource. It is
2 the intent of the Legislature that the Lake Belt Mitigation
3 Plan satisfy all local, state, and federal requirements for
4 mining activity within the rock mining supported and allowable
5 areas.
6 (2) To provide for the mitigation of wetland resources
7 lost to mining activities within the Miami-Dade County Lake
8 Belt Plan, effective October 1, 1999, a mitigation fee is
9 imposed on each ton of limerock and sand extracted by any
10 person who engages in the business of extracting limerock or
11 sand from within the Miami-Dade County Lake Belt Area and
12 sections 10, 11, 13, 14, Township 52 South, Range 39 East, and
13 sections 24, 25, 35, and 36, Township 53 South, Range 39 East.
14 The mitigation fee is at the rate of 5 cents for each ton of
15 limerock and sand sold from within the properties where the
16 fee applies in raw, processed, or manufactured form,
17 including, but not limited to, sized aggregate, asphalt,
18 cement, concrete, and other limerock and concrete products.
19 Any limerock or sand that is used within the mine from which
20 the limerock or sand is extracted is exempt from the fee. The
21 amount of the mitigation fee imposed under this section must
22 be stated separately on the invoice provided to the purchaser
23 of the limerock or sand product from the limerock or sand
24 miner, or its subsidiary or affiliate, for which the
25 mitigation fee applies. The limerock or sand miner, or its
26 subsidiary or affiliate, who sells the limerock or sand
27 product shall collect the mitigation fee and forward the
28 proceeds of the fee to the Department of Revenue on or before
29 the 20th day of the month following the calendar month in
30 which the sale occurs.

1 (3) The mitigation fee imposed by this section must be
2 reported to the Department of Revenue. Payment of the
3 mitigation fee must be accompanied by a form prescribed by the
4 Department of Revenue. The proceeds of the fee, less
5 administrative costs, must be transferred by the Department of
6 Revenue to the South Florida Water Management District and
7 deposited into the Lake Belt Mitigation Trust Fund. As used in
8 this section, the term "proceeds of the fee" means all funds
9 collected and received by the Department of Revenue under this
10 section, including interest and penalties on delinquent
11 mitigation fees. The amount deducted for administrative costs
12 may not exceed 3 percent of the total revenues collected under
13 this section and may equal only those administrative costs
14 reasonably attributable to the mitigation fee.
15 (4)(a) The Department of Revenue shall administer,
16 collect, and enforce the mitigation fee authorized under this
17 section in accordance with the procedures used to administer,
18 collect, and enforce the general sales tax imposed under
19 chapter 212. The provisions of chapter 212 with respect to the
20 authority of the Department of Revenue to audit and make
21 assessments, the keeping of books and records, and the
22 interest and penalties imposed on delinquent fees apply to
23 this section. The fee may not be included in computing
24 estimated taxes under s. 212.11, and the dealer's credit for
25 collecting taxes or fees provided for in s. 212.12 does not
26 apply to the mitigation fee imposed by this section.
27 (b) In administering this section, the Department of
28 Revenue may employ persons and incur expenses for which funds
29 are appropriated by the Legislature. The Department of Revenue
30 shall adopt rules and prescribe and publish forms necessary to

1 administer this section. The Department of Revenue shall
2 establish audit procedures and may assess delinquent fees.
3 (5) Beginning January 1, 2001, and each January 1
4 thereafter, the per-ton mitigation fee shall be increased by
5 2.1 percentage points, plus a cost growth index. The cost
6 growth index shall be the percentage change in the weighted
7 average of the Employment Cost Index for All Civilian Workers
8 (ecu 10001I), issued by the United States Department of Labor
9 for the most recent 12-month period ending on September 30,
10 and the percentage change in the Producer Price Index for All
11 Commodities (WPU 00000000), issued by the United States
12 Department of Labor for the most recent 12-month period ending
13 on September 30, compared to the weighted average of these
14 indices for the previous year. The weighted average shall be
15 calculated as 0.6 times the percentage change in the
16 Employment Cost Index for All Civilian Workers (ecu 10001I),
17 plus 0.4 times the percentage change in the Producer Price
18 Index for All Commodities (WPU 00000000). If either index is
19 discontinued, it shall be replaced by its successor index, as
20 identified by the United States Department of Labor.
21 (6)(a) The proceeds of the mitigation fee must be used
22 to conduct mitigation activities that are appropriate to
23 offset the loss of the value and functions of wetlands as a
24 result of mining activities and must be used in a manner
25 consistent with the recommendations contained in the reports
26 submitted to the Legislature by the Miami-Dade County Lake
27 Belt Plan Implementation Committee and adopted under s.
28 373.4149. Such mitigation may include the purchase,
29 enhancement, restoration, and management of wetlands and
30 uplands, the purchase of mitigation credit from a permitted
31 mitigation bank, and any structural modifications to the
12
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 1999 CS for CS for SB 2238

1 existing drainage system to enhance the hydrology of the
2 Miami-Dade County Lake Belt Area. Funds may also be used to
3 reimburse other funding sources, including the Save Our Rivers
4 Land Acquisition Program and the Internal Improvement Trust
5 Fund, for the purchase of lands that were acquired in areas
6 appropriate for mitigation due to rock mining and to reimburse
7 governmental agencies that exchanged land under s. 373.4149
8 for mitigation due to rockmining.
9 (b) Expenditures must be approved by an interagency
10 committee consisting of representatives from each of the
11 following: the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental
12 Resource Management, the Department of Environmental
13 Protection, the South Florida Water Management District, and
14 the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. In addition, the
15 limerock mining industry shall select a representative to
16 serve as a nonvoting member of the interagency committee. At
17 the discretion of the committee, additional members may be
18 added to represent federal regulatory, environmental, and fish
19 and wildlife agencies.
20 (7) Payment of the fee imposed by this section
21 satisfies the mitigation requirements imposed under ss.
22 373.403-373.439 and any applicable county ordinance for loss
23 of the value and functions from mining of the wetlands
24 identified as rockmining supported and allowable areas of the
25 Miami-Dade County Lake Plan adopted by s. 373.4149(1). In
26 addition, it is the intent of the Legislature that the payment
27 of the mitigation fee imposed by this section satisfy all
28 federal mitigation requirements for the wetlands mined.
29 (8) If a general permit by the United States Army
30 Corps of Engineers, or an appropriate long-term permit for
31 mining, consistent with the Miami-Dade County Lake Belt Plan,

2 issued on or before September 30, 2000, the fee imposed by
3 this section is suspended until revived by the Legislature.
4 (9)(a) The interagency committee established in this
5 section shall annually prepare and submit to the governing
6 board of the South Florida Water Management District a report
7 evaluating the mitigation costs and revenues generated by the
8 mitigation fee.
9 (b) No sooner than January 31, 2010, and no more
10 frequently than every 10 years thereafter, the interagency
11 committee shall submit to the Legislature a report
12 recommending any needed adjustments to the mitigation fee to
13 ensure that the revenue generated reflects the actual costs of
14 the mitigation.
15 Section 3. Section 373.4415, Florida Statutes, is
16 amended to read:
17 373.4415 Role of Miami-Dade Dade County in processing
