PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rules is to adopt by reference a revised version of the manual titled Water Quality/Quantity Best Management Practices for Florida Citrus (2012 Edition) (FDACS-P-01756). The new edition (2024) 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 not related to water quality or water conservation.

SUMMARY:

The subject areas of the proposed rules are water quality and water conservation best management practices for Florida citrus production, including enrollment in the program and implementation verification site visit requirements.
