Purpose


The South Florida Water Management District (“District”) is proposing to amend section 1.5.2.B.3 of the “Applicant’s Handbook for Water Use Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District,” which is incorporated by reference in Rule 40E-2.091, to amend the section title from Lower West Coast Regional Water Supply Planning Area to Aquifers. When the rule was originally developed the aquifers were wholly located in the Lower West Coast Planning Area. A redrawing of the planning area now has a portion of the aquifers covered under this rule in the Lower East Coast Planning Area, but the same resource concerns persist.
