Section 373.042, F.S., requires the District to establish minimum flows and levels for lakes, wetlands, rivers and aquifers within the District’s boundaries. Section 373.0421(3), F.S., further requires the District to periodically reevaluate and revise adopted minimum flows and levels. The establishment and periodic evaluation of minimum levels is required to ensure that the minimum hydrologic requirements of the water resources and ecology of the area are maintained. This rulemaking is necessary to remove existing prescriptive methodology rule language and the specific Minimum Wetland Level definition for certain, isolated cypress wetlands in order to allow use of minimum level methods that best address site-specific characteristics instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
