Purpose
The purpose of rule development is to strike the previously-adopted minimum flows for the Lower Santa Fe and Ichetucknee Rivers and Priority Springs (LSFIR) and adopt new minimum flows for the LSFIR and any associated recovery and prevention strategy. The minimum flows for the LSFIR and any associated recovery and prevention strategy will generally affect consumptive use permittees and may affect applicants for surface water management permits in all applicable water management districts without the need for further rulemaking by the water management districts.
