RULE NO: RULE TITLE
40C-8.031: Minimum Surface Water Levels and Flows and Groundwater Levels
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to (1) amend established minimum water levels for the following lakes in the following counties: Lake Grandin in Putnam County, and Lakes Colby and Shaw and Three Island Lake in Volusia County; (2) add a duration and return interval to the established minimum water levels for Lake Ashby in Volusia County and Lake Gore in Flagler County and delete their listed hydroperiod categories; (3) make minor technical changes by rounding to the nearest decimal place for the minimum average levels for Lake Broward in Putnam County and Lake Sand Hill in Clay County; (4) make minor technical changes by changing the name of the hydroperiod category from “temporarily flooded” to “seasonally flooded” for the frequent high levels for the following lake in the following counties: Bird Pond, McKasel, and Pam in Putnam County, and Mills in Seminole County; (5) make a minor technical change by changing the name of the hydroperiod category from “seasonally flooded” to “temporarily flooded” for Lake Sunset in Lake County; (6) make minor technical changes by changing the name of the hydroperiod category from “typically flooded” to “typically saturated” for the minimum average water level of the following lakes in the following counties: Daugharty and Dias in Volusia County, Disston in Flagler County, and Echo in Putnam County; and (7) revise the formatting of existing subsections 40C-8.031(1)-(2), F.A.C., for clarity.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: The proposed rule would establish or amend established minimum water levels for the above listed lakes and springs pursuant to the mandate of Section 373.042, Florida Statutes. Each of the established or amended levels have either an associated hydroperiod category or a duration and return interval. The terms herein are already defined in Chapter 40C-8, F.A.C. As with all minimum levels established by the District, if adopted, the minimum levels in this rule amendment would be used as a basis for imposing limitations on withdrawals of groundwater and surface water in the consumptive use permit regulatory process and for reviewing proposed surface water management systems in the environmental resource permit regulatory process. Additionally, the proposed rule would revise the formatting of Rule 40C-8.031, F.A.C.
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 373.044, 373.113 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 373.042, 373.0421 FS.
