NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE

Pursuant to s. 373.1725, Florida Statutes, the Northwest Florida Water Management District (District) hereby notices its intent to amend and clarify Chapter 40A-8, F.A.C., Minimum Flows and Minimum Water Levels, to comply with Subsections 373.036, 373.042. 373.0421, and 373.103, F.S. to establish a minimum flow for Jackson Blue Spring in Jackson County, Florida.

The person to be contacted regarding the proposed rule is Paul Thurman, Division of Resource Management, Northwest Florida Water Management District, 81 Water Management Drive, Havana, FL 32333, (850) 539-5999, paul.thurman@nwfwater.com.

The text of the proposed rule is below.

WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

Northwest Florida Water Management District

RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:

40A-8.021 Definitions

40A-8.061 Minimum Flow for Jackson Blue Spring.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The overall purpose is to establish the minimum flow for Jackson Blue Spring to comply with Florida Statutes.

SUMMARY: The rulemaking will cover amending a rule to include necessary definition(s) and creating a rule setting the minimum flow for Jackson Blue Spring.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: Upon review of the proposed changes to the rule, the District has determined that the amendments will not exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.

40A-8.061 Minimum Flow for Jackson Blue Spring.

The Governing Board hereby establishes the following minimum flow. The Governing Board finds that the following minimum flow is the limit at which further withdrawals would be significantly harmful to the water resources or ecology of the area.

The minimum Jackson Blue Spring Median Flow is 92.2 cubic feet per second. The minimum flow of 92.2 cubic feet per second represents an allowable flow reduction of 10.7%, or 11.1 cubic feet per second, from the Jackson Blue Spring Median Baseline Flow of 103.3 cubic feet per second.

The District will evaluate the minimum flow for Jackson Blue Spring every five years as part of the regional water supply planning process to determine the extent to which the Jackson Blue Spring Median Flow has been reduced due to withdrawals as of the date of each evaluation. Each evaluation will include a review of:

a. Flow data,

b. Water withdrawals,

c. Aquifer water levels, and

d. Rainfall data.

Each evaluation is independent from and not a determination of water use permit compliance or environmental resource permit compliance. Permit compliance is a regulatory function that is not within the scope of this subsection.
