The proposed rule would establish minimum water levels for Lake Prevatt and Sylvan Lake pursuant to the mandate of section 373.042, Florida Statutes. Each water level has an associated duration and return interval. The terms herein are already defined in chapter 40C-8, F.A.C. As with all minimum levels established by the District, if adopted, the minimum levels in this rule amendment would be used as a basis for imposing limitations on withdrawals of groundwater and surface water in the consumptive use permit regulatory process and for reviewing proposed surface water management systems in the environmental resource permit regulatory process. Members of the District’s Governing Board may attend the scheduled Rule Development Workshop.
