40E-10.071Water Reservation Areas: Upper and Lower Kissimmee Basin Planning Areas

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Kissimmee River Restoration Project (KRRP) restores over 40 square miles of river/floodplain ecosystem including 43 miles of meandering river channel and 27,000 acres of wetlands. The project is a joint partnership between the District and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The KRRP involves an estimated $800 million public investment that was developed to address public concerns about the effects of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project on the Kissimmee River — specifically the altered hydrology, loss of floodplain wetlands, and resulting loss of habitat and reduced populations of many species of fish and wildlife. The proposed rules identify and reserve water needed for the protection of fish and wildlife.

SUMMARY: The proposed rules will reserve from additional allocation: 1) all surface water in the Kissimmee River, its floodplain, and the Headwaters Revitalization Lakes; 2) quantities of surface water up to specific water reservation stages in the Upper Chain of Lakes; and 3) surface water and groundwater in the surficial aquifer system and contributing waterbodies that contribute water to the reservation lakes and the Kissimmee River and floodplain.

The proposed reservation rules will be implemented in coordination with the District’s water use permitting program to ensure future water users do not withdraw reserved water. Direct and indirect withdrawals of water from the Kissimmee River and Headwaters Lakes will be limited to existing permitted water use allocations. Additional direct and indirect withdrawals of water from the Upper Chain of Lakes and contributing waterbodies will be limited to quantities of surface water above the proposed water reservation stages. Any new withdrawals authorized under the water use permitting program shall not reduce average annual flows at S-65 by 4.18 percent. This requirement is imposed to ensure that water use withdrawals do not interfere with KRRP restoration targets. The proposed rules also include regulatory criteria to protect downstream users in the Lake Okeechobee Service Area.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The agency has determined that this rule will have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has been prepared by the agency. The SERC is available on the District’s website at:   https://www.sfwmd.gov/our-work/water-reservations.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein:  The District completed the Governor’s Office of Fiscal Accountability and Regulatory Reform’s (OFARR) form “Is a SERC Required?” and prepared a SERC, both of which are available upon request. Based on the completed “Is a SERC Required?” form and the District’s SERC and analysis performed to prepare and complete said documents, the proposed rule amendment does not require legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated regulatory costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
