GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Final adoption hearing on amendments to Rule 40C-8.031, F.A.C., to establish or amend established minimum water levels for certain surface waters and springs in Clay, Flagler, Lake, Putnam, Seminole, and Volusia Counties, pursuant to the mandate of Section 373.042, Florida Statutes.

As with all minimum levels established by the District, if adopted, the minimum levels in this rule amendment would be used as a basis for imposing limitations on withdrawals of groundwater and surface water in the consumptive use permit regulatory process and for reviewing proposed surface water management systems in the environmental resource permit regulatory process. Additionally, the proposed rule would revise the formatting of Rule 40C-8.031, F.A.C. The Notice of Proposed Rule was published in the F.A.W. on October 16, 2009.
