40D-8.624: Guidance and Minimum Levels for Lakes
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: In the early 1980s, the District began incorporating ten year flood levels for priority lakes into its minimum flows and levels rules. The ten year flood level was at one time used by the Department of Health as a criterion for permitting septic tank construction in floodways. The District also included the level in its rules as advisory for those constructing lakeshore improvements. Specific references regarding use of the ten year flood level for septic tank location and construction are not now included in current District minimum flows and levels rules. Given that the Department of Health no longer utilizes ten year flood levels for septic tank permitting and that the flood levels are similarly not used for District regulatory programs, the ten year flood guidance levels are proposed to be repealed from District rules to promote organizational efficiency by eliminating unnecessary rules.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendments delete all references to the Ten Year Flood Guidance Levels and the methodology used to establish Ten Year Flood Guidance Levels and include: a) deletion of the references to the Ten Year Flood Guidance Level from subsection 40D-8.021(4), paragraph 40D8-031(1)(b), subsection 40D-8.624(1), and paragraph 40D-8.624(3)(a), F.A.C.; b) deletion of subsection 40D-8.624(11); c) the renumbering of subsection 40D-8.624(12) as subsection 40D-8.624(11); d) the renumbering of subsection 40D-8.624(13) as subsection 40D-8.624(12) and correcting paragraph references due to the renumbering; and e) the deletion of the Ten Year Flood Guidance Levels from Tables 8-2 and 8-3, subsections 40D-8.624(13) and (14), F.A.C.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: No Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost was prepared.
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.

40D-8.624 Guidance and Minimum Levels for Lakes.
(1) Levels for lakes adopted during or after August 7, 2000, are set forth in Table 8-2 in subsection 40D-8.624(12)(13), F.A.C. There are two three Guidance Levels for lakes, the Ten Year Flood Guidance Level, the High Guidance Level and the Low Guidance Level. There are two Minimum Levels for lakes, the High Minimum Lake Level and the Minimum Lake Level. After the High Minimum Lake Level and Minimum Lake Level for each lake is a designation indicating which of the categories described below applied and, therefore, which method was used to determine the High Minimum Lake Level and the Minimum Lake Level.
(2) Levels for lakes adopted prior to August 7, 2000, are set forth in the table in subsection 40D-8.624 (13)(14), F.A.C.
(3) Renaming of Levels.
(a) Lake Levels adopted prior to August 7, 2000, were referred to in the District's rules as management levels and alternatively as minimum levels. These levels were the Ten Year Flood Warning Level, the Minimum Flood Level, the Low Management Level and, for some lakes, Extreme Low Management Level. As of August 7, 2000, these levels are now referred to as Guidance Levels. For those lakes with levels adopted prior to August 7, 2000, the Ten Year Flood Warning Level is now named the Ten Year Flood Guidance Level, the Minimum Flood is now named the High Level, the Low Management Level is now named the Low Level and the Extreme Low Management Level is now named the Extreme Low Level.
(b) For lakes with levels adopted before August 7, 2000, a reference within the District's rules to the applicable minimum level or to established minimum water levels shall refer to the Low Level, or, if adopted for the lake, the Extreme Low Level. Such Low Level or Extreme Low Level shall not be deemed a minimum level pursuant to Section 373.042, F.S.
(c) For lakes with levels adopted during or after August 7, 2000, a reference in the District's rules to the applicable minimum level or to established minimum water levels shall refer to the adopted High Minimum Lake Level and Minimum Lake Level described in this Rule 40D-8.624, F.A.C.
(4) through (10) No change.
(11)(a) The Ten Year Flood Guidance Level is provided as an advisory guideline for lakeshore development. The Ten Year Flood Guidance Level incorporates the level of flooding expected on a frequency of not less than the ten year recurring interval, or on a frequency of not greater than a 10 percent probability of occurrence in any given year. The Ten Year Flood Guidance Level is established using methods that correspond to the hydrology and type of conveyance system of the lake being evaluated.
(b) Open Basin Lakes That Discharge.
1. Data Available. If lake stage records of sufficient quality and quantity are available, the Ten Year Flood Guidance Level for open-basin lakes will be established using statistics derived from frequency analysis of the stage records (statistical method). Annual peak stages will be ranked and fit to a distribution or plotted to estimate the ten–year peak stage. At least thirty years of hydrologic data are preferred for establishment of the Ten Year Flood Guidance Level using the statistical method.
2. Data Not Available– Storm event modeling of open-basin lakes will be utilized when sufficient stage data for use of a statistical method are not available. Rainfall depths used for the process are taken from sources such as the National Weather Service Technical Paper 49, and Part D of the District's Environmental Resource Permitting Information Manual described and incorporated by reference in Rule 40D-4.091, F.A.C. Runoff volumes used for the modeling are computed using conventional methods such as the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NCRS) curve number method, or with standard infiltration formulas (e.g., Horton’s Equation, Green-Ampt Equation). Runoff distributions are computed using conventional methods including the NRCS method or other unit hydrograph methods, or the kinematic wave overland flow method. Modeling programs that account for tailwater and compute backflow (dynamic models) are preferred for the hydraulic routing component of the stormwater event modeling. Methods described in subparagraph 40D-8.624(11)(c)2., F.A.C., “Closed Basin Lakes Not Available” below can also be applied when the probability of the 10-year flood elevation being exceeded in any given year is influenced by serial correlation to annual peak elevations.
(c) Closed Basin Lakes.
1. Data Available. If lake stage records of sufficient quality and quantity are available, the Ten Year Flood Guidance Level for closed-basin lakes will be established using statistics derived from frequency analysis of the stage record (statistical method). Annual peak stages will be ranked and fit to a distribution or plotted to estimate the ten year peak stage. As a general rule, at least thirty years of hydrologic data are preferred for establishment of the Ten Year Flood Guidance Level using the statistical method.
2. Data Not Available – Numerical or empirical modeling of closed-basin lakes will be utilized when sufficient stage data for use of a statistical method are not available. Simulation periods of thirty or more years are preferred for either numerical or empirical modeling techniques. A composite record of rainfall records from more than one rainfall station in the region in which the subject lake is located may be used for the process. Calibration of the simulation model shall be based on stage records, Hydrologic Indicators of water level, and eye-witness accounts of peak stages. Model simulations to determine the Ten Year Flood Guidance Level will exclude effects of water withdrawals.
(11)(12) No change.
(12)(13) Levels for lakes established during or after August 7, 2000, are set forth in the following table. After the High Minimum Lake Level and Minimum Lake Level elevation for each lake is a designation indicating the Method used, as described in subsection 40D-8.624(8), F.A.C., to establish the level. Compliance with the High Minimum and Minimum Lake Levels is determined pursuant to paragraphs (6)(b) and (7)(b) above. Guidance Levels established prior to August 7, 2000, are set forth in Table 8-3 in subsection 40D-8.624 (13)(14), F.A.C., below.
