The purpose and effect of this rule amendment is to address needed changes to the boating restricted areas created by this rule. Additionally, the purpose is to address rule changes governing vessel speeds on the St. Johns River in Lake, Seminole and Volusia counties, where necessary, to manage this waterway and promote its use for safe boating. Staff has identified several needed changes, to include, but not limited to: repealing regulations in the tributaries of South Moon and Jungle Den Canals; making minor changes to the footprints of the State Road 40 (Astor) Bridge, State Road 44 (Whitehair) Bridge and Lake Monroe boating restricted areas; clarifying and modifying the geographic descriptions for seven zone boundaries; updating the rule maps, and removing the authority for Lake, Seminole and Volusia counties to mark the state-adopted year-round boating restricted areas.
