PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rules is to adopt by reference a revised version of the manual titled Water Quality Best Management Practices for Florida Cow/Calf Operations (2008 Edition), DACS P-01280. The new edition, titled Florida Cattle Operations, 2024 Edition: Water Quality and Water Quantity Best Management Practices, updates language to reflect statutory changes impacting the Best Management Practices program, provides more specific direction and expectation regarding the best management practices, and removes language that is not related to water quality or water conservation.

The subject areas of the proposed rules are water quality and water quantity best management practices (BMPs) for Florida cattle operations, including enrollment in the program and implementation verification site visit requirements. Proposed rule revisions also remove language that is duplicative with Chapter 5M-1, F.A.C., and clarify the intent of BMP Program enrollment and checklist requirements.
