The St. Johns River Water Management District proposes to amend the drainage basin and regional watershed figures and tables which are part of the Applicant’s Handbook: Management and Storage of Surface Waters and are relevant to the review of applications for environmental resource permits (ERP) and mitigation bank permit applications. The District proposes to amend Figure 12.2.8-1 entitled “St. Johns River Water Management District Drainage Basins” and the figure in Appendix M entitled “St. Johns River Water Management District Regional Watersheds for Mitigation Banking.” The drainage basins on Figure 12.2.8-1 define the geographical scope of the evaluation of whether a regulated activity will cause unacceptable cumulative impacts upon wetlands and other surface waters. The regional watersheds in Appendix M are used in the analysis of ecological benefits of proposed mitigation banks, are considered in the establishment of mitigation bank service areas, and are used as part of the determination of the number of mitigation credits needed to offset a given wetland impact. Specifically, the District proposes to amend drainage basin boundaries in Figure 12.2.8-1 and regional watershed boundaries in Appendix M in the following six areas: (1) basin/watershed 1 (Upper St. Marys River), basin/watershed 3 (Nassau River), and basin/watershed 4 (Northern St. Johns River and Northern Coastal); (2) basin/watershed 4 (Northern St. Johns River and Northern Coastal), basin/watershed 5 (Sixmile and Julington Creeks Nested), and basin/watershed 6 (Tolomato River and Intracoastal Nested); (3) basin/watershed 4 (Northern St. Johns River and Northern Coastal), basin/watershed 5 (Sixmile and Julington Creeks Nested), basin/watershed 7 (Western Etoniah Lakes), basin/watershed 8 (St. Johns River – Welaka to Bayard), and basin/watershed 9 (Pellicer Creek and Matanzas River); (4) basin/watershed 9 (Pellicer Creek and Matanzas River), basin/watershed 16 (Crescent Lake), and basin/watershed 17 (Halifax River); (5) basin/watershed 18 (St. Johns River – Canaveral Marshes to Wekiva), basin/watershed 20 (Southern St. Johns River), and basin/watershed 21 (Northern Indian River Lagoon); and (6) basin/watershed 20 (Southern St. Johns River), basin/watershed 21 (Northern Indian River Lagoon), and basin/watershed 22 (Central Indian River Lagoon).
