The District proposed several revisions to the Caloosahatchee River MFL criteria. In support of its revisions, the District used a resource-based approach to determine the flow requirements of multiple ecological indicators. A copy of the Technical Document to Support Re-evaluation of the Minimum Flow Criteria for the Caloosahatchee River Estuary dated January 30, 2019 (Technical Document) is available on the District’s website at https://www.sfwmd.gov/our-work/mfl. The approach incorporated 11 component studies, using indicators with an integrated modeling approach.
At the public workshop, the District will discuss the proposed rule language along with the details of the monitoring plan for ecological indicators.
