40D-80.073: Regulatory Portion of Recovery Strategy for Pasco, Northern Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on October 29, 2009, the Governing Board of the District has issued an order.
The District received a Petition from the City of Tampa on September 14, 2009, for a variance from District sub-subparagraphs 40D-80.073(4)(b)3.a. and 40D-80.073(4)(b)3.b., Florida Administrative Code. Notice of the variance request was published in Vol. 35, No. 38, September 25, 2009. The rules require the City to complete certain Sulphur Spring weir modifications by October 1, 2009, and October 1, 2010, as part of the recovery strategy for the Lower Hillsborough River Minimum Flow. The City requested that the dates be extended to October 1, 2010 and October 1, 2011. The Order granted the variance based on that a one year extension of the weir modification deadlines will not affect the City’s recovery strategy obligation nor the ultimate deadlines to meet the minimum flows for Sulphur Springs and the Lower Hillsborough River.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Annette Zielinski, Senior Administrative Assistant, Southwest Florida Water Management District, 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, FL 34604-6899, (352)796-7211.
