Southwest Florida Water Management District

The Southwest Florida Water Management District announces a workshop to which all persons are invited.
DATE AND TIME: Thursday, December 16, 2010, 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
PLACE: Lecanto Government Building, 3600 West Sovereign Path, Lecanto, Florida 34461
GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Southwest Florida Water Management District is inviting the public to comment on proposed minimum flows and levels (MFLs) for the Chassahowitzka River. The District has already held one public workshop on the Chassahowitzka River MFLs. This second meeting was scheduled to give the public time to review the proposed MFLs.
The state Legislature requires the District to set MFLs for priority water bodies within the District. A minimum flow or level is the limit at which further water withdrawals will cause significant harm to the water resources and/or environment.
During the workshop, District staff will review the regulatory framework and the technical basis for the proposed MFLs. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for local governments, citizens and others to provide input on the development of minimum flows and levels for the river.
