PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To define the quantity, location and timing of waters reserved from allocation for the protection of fish and wildlife pursuant to Section 373.223(4), F.S., for specified water bodies.
SUMMARY: This chapter establishes both surface water and groundwater reservations for the Picayune Strand and the Fakahatchee Estuary. These reservations are based on information contained in the peer reviewed report entitled “Technical Document to Support a Water Reservation Rule for Picayune Strand and Downstream Estuaries”, which establishes the linkages between the identification of the reserved water and the protection of fish and wildlife. Because the water reservation authority under Section 373.223(4), F.S., authorizes the set aside of water from consumptive use, Chapter 40E-10, F.A.C. establishes that applicants for consumptive use permits meet the requirement of this chapter by providing reasonable assurances that criteria contained in rules governing issuance of individual and general water use permits are met. It also sets forth that presently existing legal uses for the duration of the permit existing on [effective date] are determined to be not contrary to the public interest, pursuant to Section 373.223(4), F.S. Finally, Chapter 40E-10, F.A.C. contains figures showing the location of the reserved water and the volume probability curves which simulated the surface water inflow that is protected by this Chapter.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: Individuals and Entities Affected by the Proposed Rule
The proposed rule reserves water for protection of fish and wildlife in the Picayune Strand and the Fakahatchee Estuary in Collier County. The proposed rule will affect a subset of individuals and entities requesting water allocations from surface waters, the water table aquifer or the minimally confined portions of the lower Tamiami aquifer in western Collier County.
Water use permit applications proposing to withdraw waters that are reserved for the Picayune Strand or the Fakahatchee Estuary under the proposed rule would be denied. In this case, the applicant may choose to switch locations of water withdrawals to deeper portions of the subsurface within the aquifers not affected by the rule, reduce the proposed withdrawal, or move the proposed withdraw location farther away from the reservation water body or impacted canal. The number of individuals and entities potentially affected by this rule is not known but could include public supply utilities, industry, agricultural firms, golf course owners and entities that wish to maintain landscaping such as parks and schools located near the reservation water bodies or specified tributaries that deliver surface water that is proposed to be reserved under the rule. The geographic area affected by the proposed rule is limited to western Collier County. Existing land uses (platted single family homes, agricultural land holdings and publicly owned conservation lands) act to limit access to the surface waters within the reservation water bodies and canals where inflows are reserved.
The proposed rule set forth eight categories of consumptive uses that do not withdraw reserved water. If a consumptive use does not fall into one of these categories, the applicant must undertake modeling following the specific requirements set forth in the proposed criteria or other similarly acceptable alternative modeling evaluations to demonstrate that reserved water is not being withdrawn. Finally, the criteria provide that reduced or terminated permit impacts that result in increased inflows into the reservation water body may be allocated unless the Governing Board of the South Florida Water Management District determines that such allocation is inconsistent with the public interest.
Transactional Costs
A summary of the transactional costs is as follows.
• Existing legal uses on the effective date of the rule will have no transactional costs.
• Applicants for renewal of existing legal water uses on the effective date of the rule will have no transactional costs.
• New or modified uses that are not direct or indirect withdrawals will have zero to minimal transactional costs, as the evaluations required under the proposed rule are also required under existing rule to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with other conditions for issuance under Rule 40E-2.301, F.A.C.
• Permit modifications that do not change the source, increase the allocation, or change withdrawal locations will have no transactional costs.
• Applicants for withdrawals from the Sandstone aquifer, Mid-hawthorn aquifer or the Floridan Aquifer systems will have no transactional costs.
• A proposed new use with a direct or indirect withdrawal and no greater impact, including changes in timing, on a reservation water body than the terminated or reduced permit existing on [effective date] within the same project site will have zero to minimal transactional costs, as the evaluations required under the proposed rule are also required under existing rule to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with other conditions for issuance under Rule 40E-2.301, F.A.C.
Costs of Modelling under Section 3.11.1.B.
An integrated surface and ground water transient model (transient hydrologic model) must be developed, calibrated and run for permit applications that are determined to have the potential of withdrawing reserved water quantities. Pursuant to Subsection 3.11.1.A.8., this group only includes applications for new or modified permits that have a direct or indirect withdrawal, as defined in the proposed rule.
This integrated transient hydrologic modeling is estimated to cost between $100,000 to $500,000, depending on the amount of data collection and modeling needed to determine whether the requested allocation will withdraw reserved water. The higher range of costs are associated with developing a model from scratch including developing regionalized input data sets for all model parameters. The lower range of costs consider time and cost savings associated with using existing regionalized input data sets when assembling a model. The District has developed two calibrated integrated transient models for the area (Picayune Strand PIR model and the LWC SAS Sub-Regional model). The input data sets are available to the public as public records and may be used by permit applicants in the development of the modeling required pursuant to the reservation rule.
If the results of the hydrologic modeling indicate that proposed new or modified withdrawals will withdrawal reserved water, the applicant may choose to develop an alternative water source, or otherwise modify the project so no reserved water will be withdrawn. The likely alternatives include aquifers located beneath the Lower Tamiami aquifer as specified in the rule. These include, in descending order, the Sandstone, Hawthorn Zone I / Lower Hawthorn, and Floridan aquifers.
For non-potable water uses, moving from a surface water source to the confined Lower Tamiami aquifer or the Sandstone aquifer will increase water supply costs by about $0.10 per 1,000 gallons of water produced. There is no significant cost difference between obtaining fresh water from the Water Table aquifer, the lower Tamiami aquifer, or the Sandstone aquifer. However, if these applicants are not able to obtain water from these sources, the increased cost associated with pumping and treating brackish water from the Hawthorn aquifer or the Floridan aquifer will increase significantly. The cost increase associated with going from the water table, lower Tamiami or Sandstone with not treatment to the Floridan Aquifer System with reverse osmosis treatment ranges from $3.42 per 1,000 gallons of water produced to $3.62 per 1,000 gallons depending on which aquifer is used.
For a public supply utility, the cost increase is not significant if the applicant moves from the Water Table aquifer or the Lower Tamiami aquifer to the Sandstone aquifer. However, if the applicant uses the Hawthorn or the Floridan aquifers, the cost increases by about $0.60 to $0.70 per 1,000 gallons. In this case, the degree of financial and economic impacts to the public supply utility would depend on the proportion of the utility’s total water supply that comes from these sources.
Applicants for dewatering projects which retain the effluent water on-site, will not be impacted by the rule. If the retaining water on site is not feasible, the applicant will be required to demonstrate reserved water is not withdrawn. This could be done through modeling, or modifying the project (e.g. construction in the wet, establishing a hydraulic barrier between the dewatering site and the reservation water body, phased dewatering to reduce the impact e.t.c.). No specific cost estimates of these options have been compiled.
Cost to the District
The estimated one-time cost to the District to implement the proposed rule is $16,200. The estimated cost to the District to address each water use permit application that occurs within the area affected by this rule could be as much as $4,800 to $5,700 per applicant and $2,100 per dewatering permit for projects that involve extensive review. However, those projects that do not involve significant evaluations (such as renewals, modifications not involving reserved water, projects using alternative sources of supply etc.) will have minimal costs to the District.
Cost to Small Businesses, Small Cities and Small Counties
The City of Everglades will be affected by the proposed rule if it requests additional permitted water quantities from surface water or from the water table aquifer or from the lower Tamiami aquifer in western Collier County. There are likely to be several small businesses in Collier County that could be developed within the geographic area influenced by the rule. The potential costs associated with this rule are tied to the volume of water needed for the business, the location of the withdrawal, and the level of treatment needed.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
