The District is in the process of setting, or has recently set, the minimum flows and levels (MFLs) for the Chassahowitzka, Crystal, Homosassa and Weeki Wachee river systems. District staff is hosting a series of public workshops in the Springs Coast area to discuss the process for setting MFLs.
The workshops will focus on existing data and minimum flows methods, additional data collection or analysis possibilities, and minimum flows compliance for the four spring-dominated systems.
To promote efficiency, designated representatives from governmental organizations and local community and environmental groups will take part in a panel discussion during workshops. These meetings are open to the public. Additional public input will occur during a public comment period.
The District is interested in your comments concerning the information presented during the workshop series, and the data and methods used to establish minimum flows for Springs Coast water bodies. All public comments will be reviewed and used to support decisions regarding development and/or reevaluation of minimum flows and levels for the Chassahowitzka, Crystal, Homosassa and Weeki Wachee river systems. Please submit your comments by clicking on the link below.
