HYPERLINK "https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ruleNo.asp?id=40B-8.051" \t "ruleNo" 40B-8.051 Minimum Surface Water Levels and Flows for Waccasassa River and Estuary and Levy Blue Spring.

The Governing Board hereby establishes the following minimum surfacewater flows. The Governing Board finds that the following minimum surfacewater flows are the limit at which further withdrawals would be significantly harmful to the water resources or ecology.

1. (1) The minimum surfacewater flow for Levy Blue Spring is the flow that will maintain 90 percent of the historic flow regime for the Levy Blue Spring discharge as defined in “Technical Report-MFL Establishment for the Waccasassa River, Estuary and Levy (Bronson) Blue Spring, June 2006.”

2. (2) The minimum surfacewater flow for Waccasassa River and Estuary is the flow that will maintain 87.5 percent of the historic flow regime for the Waccasassa River discharge as measured at the United States Geological Survey Gulf Hammock gauge and further defined in “Technical Report- MFL Establishment for the Waccasassa River and Estuary and Levy (Bronson) Blue Spring, June 2006.”
