BOATING RESTRICTED AREAS

Overview

RULE:

68D-24.109

Withlacoochee River Boating Restricted Areas

PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect of this rule amendment is to address changes affecting vessel speeds during flood conditions on the Withlacoochee River within Citrus, Hernando, Marion, and Sumter Counties, updating maps and making other changes to rule language where necessary to manage and promote the use of this state waterway for safe and enjoyable boating

SUMMARY:

This rule amendment proposes to reduce the zone boundaries of the following sections of the river; North Hooty Point to south of East Newman Drive, East Squire Court to south of East Shawnee Trail, and Citrus/Hernando County Line to south of Riverside RV Park. Another section, Iron Bridge Primitive Boat Launch to CSX Railroad Trestle, the zone boundaries would be slightly increased. There is no proposed change to the current water level which triggers the restricted areas during a flood. The revisions would also update maps for consistency and to reflect changes in the restricted areas.
