GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Continuation of the public hearing from February 12, 2009, to adopt amendments to Rules 40E-2.051, 40E-2.061, 40E-2.091, 40E-2.331, 40E-24.011, 40E-24.101, 40E-24.201, 40E-24.301, 40E-24.401, 40E-24.501, 40E-20.091, 40E-20.331, F.A.C., regarding year-round landscape irrigation conservation measures.

Lastly, the District is proposing to adopt amendments to the water conservation measures in the “Basis of Review for Water Use Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District” to be consistent with the landscape irrigation conservation measures set forth in Chapter 40E-24, F.A.C.
