PURPOSE:

To amend Section 1.7.3.3 of the Basis of Review for Water Use Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District to extend the application and expiration dates for the Lake Okeechobee Basin irrigation permits.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule amendment will extend the application date until October 30, 2008 and the expiration date until February 28, 2009, for irrigation permits within the Lake Okeechobee Basin. The proposed extension is due to circumstances related to the current drought (including not being able to provide accurate calibration of withdrawal facilities due to low water levels or lack of water) and the pending revision of the Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule.
