Overview



	The Suwannee River Water Management District announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	November 14, 2006, 7:00 p.m.

PLACE:	Fort White Community Center, 17579 S. W. State Road 47, Fort White, Florida 32038

Subject:	Receive public comment on the establishment of minimum flows and levels (MFLs) for the Lower Santa Fe River and it’s springs. The Lower Santa Fe River, for MFL purposes, is defined as the portion of the river downstream of O’Leno State Park. Florida Statutes require that MFLs (water levels and flows designed to prevent significant harm to water resources) be established for water bodies. The Suwannee River Water Management District is gathering technical data and information to develop the MFLs for the Santa Fe River and its springs. For a map of the Lower Santa Fe River area, visit www.mysuwanneeriver.com. MFLs help in the water supply planning process and in determining water availability for consumptive use purposes. In addition, they will provide guidance in making water use and permitting decisions; ensure sufficient water resources for the public and ecosystems; protect wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat; and provide protection of water resources for navigation and recreation. Persons with disabilities who need assistance in order to participate in these meetings may contact John Good, (386)362-1001 or 1(800)226-1066 (Florida only), at least two business days in advance to make appropriate arrangements.
