30  provide for the granting of permits for the use of water in

 1  General permits for water use shall be subject to all the

 3         (3)  In lieu of the publication of notice requirements

 4  of ss. 373.116, 373.229, and 373.413, the governing board may

 5  establish alternative notice requirements for general permits,

 6  which requirements take into account the nature and scope of

 7  the projects permitted and the effect the proposed activity

 8  may have on other persons.

 9         (4)  To provide for greater efficiency, the governing

10  board may delegate by rule its powers and duties pertaining to

11  general permits to the executive director. The executive
