PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose is to amend Rule 40D-8.041, F.A.C., to establish Minimum Flows for the Homosassa River System. The effect of the rule is to maintain 97% of the natural flow for the river system.

SUMMARY: Section 373.042, F.S., requires the District to establish minimum flows for all surface watercourses, and minimum levels for aquifers and surface waters, within the District. The District is required to maintain and submit a priority list of water bodies to the DEP indicating the schedule for the establishment of minimum flows and levels. This rulemaking will establish minimum flows for the Homosassa River System, one of the water bodies on the priority list.
