- In January 2010, farmers in the Dover/Plant City area pumped large quantities of groundwater to protect their crops. This combined pumping dropped the aquifer level 60 feet and caused more than 750 temporarily dry wells for neighboring homeowners. Pumping groundwater for freeze protection is a best management practice for strawberry, citrus and other industries and is authorized by water use permits. However, the farmers were responsible for fixing hundreds of the dry wells. Amendments to Chapter 40D-1, F.A.C., are being made as part of a rulemaking package, which will also include amendments to Chapters 40D-2, 40D-8, and 40D-80, F.A.C., to prevent a similar situation. Effective and complete implementation of the current phase of the management strategy for the Dover/Plant City area frost/freeze crop protection pumping is dependent on each of the proposed amendments to Chapters 40D-1, 40D-2, 40D-8 and 40D-80, F.A.C. Particularly, amendments to Chapter 40D-1 will add new forms and list updated forms as it relates to water use permitting in the Dover/Plant City Water Use Caution Area (DPCWUCA) being proposed in companion proposed amendments to Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C.

The District has set a goal to by January 2020 to reduce groundwater withdrawals for frost/freeze protection by 20% from January 2010 quantities to lessen the potential that drawdown during a frost/freeze event would lower the aquifer level at District Well DV-1 Suwannee below 10 feet NGVD. The District proposes water use permitting requirements in Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C., to limit groundwater pumpage for frost/freeze protection in the area. Additionally, the amendments to Chapters 40D-1 and 40D-2, F.A.C., will incorporate revised and new District water use permit application forms to implement the provisions of the proposed companion amendments to Chapters 40D-2, 40D-8 and 40D-80, F.A.C., be used in the proposed Dover/Plant City WUCA.

Effective and complete implementation of the current phase of the management strategy for the Dover/Plant City area frost/freeze crop protection pumping is dependent on each of the proposed amendments to Chapters 40D-1, 40D-2, 40D-8 and 40D-80, F.A.C. Particularly, amendments to Chapter 40D-8 will establish a Minimum Aquifer Level and Minimum Aquifer Level Protection Zone providing a minimum aquifer elevation for the Dover/Plant city area to prevent significant harm from frost/freeze pumpage. The Minimum Aquifer Level is established as part of a comprehensive management program intended to arrest water level declines during frost/freeze events to minimize the potential for impacts to existing legal uses and sinkhole occurrence. The aquifer level at District well DV-1 Suwannee is affected by local and regional groundwater withdrawals. In order to address the effects of local and regional groundwater withdrawals and the variable hydrogeologic factors within the region, a Minimum Aquifer Level Protection Zone is established under proposed Chapter 40D-8. In establishing the Minimum Aquifer Level, the District has determined that the actual water level is below the Minimum Aquifer Level when certain pumping and climatic conditions occur. Therefore, this rulemaking package also proposes a Minimum Aquifer Recovery Strategy under proposed amendments to Chapter 40D-80, F.A.C. Also, this rulemaking package contains amendments to Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C., which sets forth the regulatory portion of the rulemaking package. Additionally, the amendments to Chapters 40D-1 and 40D-2, F.A.C., will incorporate revised and new District water use permit application forms to implement the provisions of the proposed companion amendments to Chapters 40D-2, 40D-8 and 40D-80, F.A.C., to be used in the proposed Dover/Plant City Water Use Caution Area (DPCWUCA).

Amendments to Chapter 40D-8, F.A.C., will establish a minimum aquifer level. The District has determined that the actual levels are below the proposed minimum aquifer level. As required by Section 373.0421, F.S., amendments to Chapter 40D-80, F.A.C., will establish a minimum aquifer level recovery strategy for the Dover/Plant City area. This will be accomplished by the proposed water use permitting rule amendments to Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C., that are part of this rulemaking package, and non-regulatory mechanisms including assistance in offsetting ground water withdrawals for frost/freeze protection through the Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) program. Amendments to Chapters 40D-1 and 40D-2, F.A.C., will add new forms and list updated forms as it relates to water use permitting in the Dover/Plant City Water Use Caution Area being proposed in companion proposed amendments to Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C.

- Southwest Florida Water Management District
- The Southwest Florida Water Management District is inviting the public to comment on proposed minimum flows and levels (MFLs) for the Homosassa River and associated springs. The District has already held one public workshop on the Homosassa River MFLs. This second meeting was scheduled to give the public additional time to review the proposed MFLs.
The state Legislature requires the District to set MFLs for priority water bodies within the District. A minimum flow or level is the limit at which further water withdrawals will cause significant harm to the water resources and/or environment.
During the workshop, District staff will review the regulatory framework and the technical basis for the proposed MFLs. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for local governments, citizens and others to be part of the development of minimum flows and levels for the river system.
Public comment gathered at the workshop will be summarized and presented to the Governing Board when staff submits a final report and proposed rule amendments associated with the MFLs in the coming months. Following consideration of the report, public comments and results from an independent peer review, the Governing Board may choose to adopt the MFLs into District rules. Governing Board meetings are open to the public where brief oral comments are permitted on meeting agenda items.
Written comments are also welcome and can be submitted via mail or email to: Doug Leeper, Chief Environmental Scientist, 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, FL 34604-6899, Doug.Leeper@watermatters.org, no later than January 20, 2011.
A draft report containing information on the development of MFLs for the Homosassa River is available on the District’s web site. To locate the report, browse to WaterMatters.org/mfl and click on the MFL documents and reports link.

7. Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat
- Department of Financial Services
- Division of State Fire Marshal
- Pastor Jose Fernandez, Petitioner,
; The Petitioner requested a declaratory statement relating to NFPA 101 Paragraph 13.1.6, Table 13.1.6., 2006, Edition, relating to Petitioner’s particular set of circumstances. The Petitioner wants to convert the subject building for use as an assembly occupancy for his congregation. The first floor will be used for worship and the second floor for fellowship. The question is whether fire sprinkler protection is needed on the second floor, and the answer to this question depends upon which floor is the level of exit discharge. The Declaratory Statement concludes that the level of exit discharge is the first level because it is the lowest level and exits directly outside at grade. None of the second floor exits discharge directly outside at grade. Therefore, the second floor must be protected throughout by an approved fire sprinkler system.
- All Children’s Hospital on December 2, 2010.
; All Children’s Hospital is a place of public assembly as defined in the F.S. and F.A.C. cited, and new boilers are installed in the Central Energy Plant for the new hospital, the boilers are located in a separate building two blocks away from the hospital. As such, the boilers are not located within a place of public assembly, and the Boiler Safety Code does not apply in this instance to All Children’s Hospital. Since the boilers are not located within a place of public assembly, there is no requirement for Ladders and runways to be installed for the boilers in the Central Energy plant at All Children’s Hospital.

- Roger G. Pickles, Esq., for Richard Vecchio, Unit Owner/Petitioner, In Re: Hillsboro Imperial Condominium Association, Inc.,

; On November 22, 2010, Petitioner inquired whether its proposed charitable donation program to purchase commercial annuities pursuant to a charitable installment bargain sale agreement from a seller (donor) who intends to make a gift of the value of the annuity owned by the donor in excess of the sales price received for charitable purposes, constitutes a transaction involving “insurance” within the meaning of Section 624.02, Florida Statutes, or an “annuity” under the Florida Insurance Code. Further, Petitioner inquired if it offers the proposed program, if Petitioner would be an “insurer” with the meaning of Section 624.03, Florida Statutes, and as such would be required to obtain a Certificate of Authority required by Section 624.401, Florida Statutes.
