This rulemaking concerns proposed revisions to Chapter 40E-7, Part V, F.A.C., pertaining to public access to and recreational use of South Florida Water Management District lands. The proposed rules will (1) update the District’s existing public access and recreational use rules concerning management areas, (2) relocate those portions of Chapter 40E-6, F.A.C., concerning public access to and recreational use of District rights-of-way to Chapter 40E-7, Part V, F.A.C., and (3) establish rules concerning public access to and recreational use of the District’s stormwater treatment areas, impoundment areas and vacant undesignated lands. By consolidating these rules under Chapter 40E-7, Part V, F.A.C., the District will provide the public and land managers with rules that are more consistent with each other and easier to access and use, which should, in turn, increase the public’s use of District lands for recreational purposes in ways that are compatible with the purpose for which the lands were acquired.
