Notice of Development of Rulemaking

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Chapter:

Minimum Flows and Levels

Overview

RULE:

62-42.100	Scope
62-42.200	Definitions
62-42.300	Minimum Flows and Levels and Recovery and Prevention Strategies

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed creation of Chapter 62-42, F.A.C., is to develop and implement Minimum Flows and Levels (MFLs) for systems that are impacted by activities in multiple districts.

SUBJECT:

This rule creates a new rule chapter in order to adopt MFLs that impact multiple districts and therefore establishes both a scope and definitions rule.  The proposed rule also includes MFLs for the lower Santa Fe river system and the Ichetucknee river system and associated springs. The Santa Fe MFL requires the adoption of the incorporated prevention strategy because flow is expected to fall below the MFL in the next 20 years.  The Ichetucknee MFL requires the adoption of a recovery strategy because the existing flows are already below the MFL.
