The recovery strategy proposed in Rule 40D-80.075, F.A.C., for the Minimum Aquifer Level for the Dover/Plant City WUCA allows for the gradual restoration of the aquifer level so that permittees have time to adapt to new practices or use alternative water sources. The recovery strategy has a goal of reducing groundwater pumping for freeze protection by 20% within 10 years. In addition to the regulatory mechanisms included in proposed amendments to Chapters 40D-1 and 40D-2, F.A.C., the District has revised its program called Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems to provide enhanced funding opportunities for growers in the Dover/Plant City WUCA to install alternative methods of frost/freeze crop protection rather the continue use of groundwater pumping. By reducing groundwater pumping for freeze protection by 20% during future freeze events, actual groundwater levels are predicted to remain above the minimum aquifer level and impacts should be avoided or minimized. This goal will be reviewed after the first five years.
