Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

Division:

Southwest Florida Water Management District

Chapter:

- RECOVERY AND PREVENTION STRATEGIES FOR MINIMUM FLOWS AND LEVELS

Overview

RULE:

40D-80.075

Regulatory Portion of Recovery Strategy for the Dover/Plant City Water Use Caution Area (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rulemaking is to repeal the Dover Plant City Water Use Caution Area Recovery Strategy and to remove references thereto in District rules and forms.

SUMMARY:

Chapter 40D-80, F.A.C. requires reassessment of the Dover Plant City Water Use Caution Area Recovery Strategy if the objectives to establish and achieve the MAL and to reduce cold-protection withdrawals by 20 percent compared to the freeze event that occurred in 2010 were not accomplished by January 2020. A recent staff assessment determined that the MAL has been achieved and that, while there have been reductions in cold-protection quantities used since 2010, the specified 20 percent reduction has not been fully achieved. A reassessment of the Recovery Strategy was completed, with the conclusion that the objective to reduce cold-protection use by 20% based on the 2010 event was impractical and unreasonable. Based on the MAL being achieved and the recommendation to eliminate the objective to reduce the January 2010 cold-protection quantities by 20 percent, a Recovery Strategy is not necessary, and is being repealed.
