  • RULE NO: RULE TITLE
    40D-8.624: Guidance and Minimum Levels for Lakes
    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To amend Chapter 40D-8, Florida Administrative Code, to establish minimum levels for the next set of priority lakes pursuant to Section 373.042, Florida Statutes and to establish guidance levels for those lakes.
    SUMMARY: The proposed amendments establish the High Guidance Level, High Minimum Level, Minimum Lake Level and Low Guidance Level for Lakes Angelo, Denton, Placid, Tulane and Verona in Highlands County; Lakes King, King-East and Linda in Pasco County; and Crooked Lake in Polk County, Florida. The proposed amendments also repeal the previously adopted Ten Year Flood Guidance Level, High Level, Low Level and Extreme Low Level for the lakes.
    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.
    SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 373.044, 373.113, 373.171 FS.
    LAW IMPLEMENTED: 373.036, 373.0361, 373.042, 373.0421, 373.086 FS.

    THE FULL TEXT OF THE PROPOSED RULE IS:

    40D-8.624 Guidance and Minimum Levels for Lakes.

    (1) through (12) No change.

    (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(14), F.A.C., below.

    Table 8-2 Minimum and Guidance Levels Established During or After August 7, 2000.  Levels are elevations, in feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929.
