PURPOSE:

Section 601(h)(4)(B) of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000 requires the State of Florida to reserve or allocate water for the natural systems associated with the implementation of Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Projects.  For the Caloosahatchee River West Basin Storage Reservoir (C-43 Reservoir) CERP Project, the District has elected to use its water reservation authority described in subsection 373.223(4), Fla. Stat.

SUMMARY:

This rulemaking is prospective in nature in that the proposed amendments involve a future reservation of water when the C-43 Reservoir becomes operational.  The proposed amendment includes language relative to this water reservation.

The District proposes to include language in the "Basis of Review for Water Use Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District" relative to the water reservation.
