Identification of Projects
and Measures
• Technical & Implementation Work Group
• Discussions with Individual Stakeholders
and Stakeholder Organizations
• Cooperative Cost-share Projects
• District Florida Automated Water
Conservation Estimation Tool
• District Water Supply Plan
Key strategies
Increase aquifer and lake levels
to protect MFLs
• Increase Recharge to surficial aquifer
near the lakes and Upper Floridan
• Reduce groundwater withdrawals in the
Upper Floridan Aquifer
• Decrease groundwater withdrawals
regionally with more water conservation
and reuse of reclaimed water
Strategy Approach
• Phased project implementation.
• Integrate MFLs with consumptive use
permits (conditions and allocations).
• Secure sufficient funding.
• Monitor progress (implementation and
water resource response).
• Modify strategy at 5-year intervals, if
needed.
Projects and Measures:
Phased Implementation
• Project phasing is relative to when the
project would be initiated.
• Some projects are of limited duration.
• Others would be implemented in perpetuity.
o Near-term: 0-3 years after Strategy
approval
o Mid-term: 3-6 years
o Long-term: 6+ years
Projects and Measures
Near-term (Year 0-3)
• Conservation
• Lake Level Management (Lake Lowry and Lake
Magnolia)
• Reclaimed water Cooperative Projects
• Increased use of Lower Floridan aquifer
(convert existing UF to LF production)
• Investigation of modified silviculture practices
• Northeast Florida aquifer recharge preliminary
design reports
Projects and Measures
Mid-term (Year 3-6)
• Lower-to-Upper Floridan aquifer recharge
(possibly limited to interim measure)
• Keystone Heights public water supply service
area expansion
• RIB project near Keystone lakes
Projects and Measures
Long-term (Year 6+)
• Northeast Florida aquifer recharge project
Role of the Lower Floridan
Lower Floridan Aquifer utilized in near- and
mid-term solutions.
• Conversion of production well at Vulcan-Grandin
Sand Mine from Upper to Lower Floridan
• Expansion of CCUA Keystone Heights public
water supply service area to convert self-supply
users & selected consumptive use permittees to
Lower Floridan
• Lower-to-Upper Floridan aquifer recharge

Projects and measures
long-term
• Northeast Florida Aquifer Recharge
Project
• Long term regional project would likely
provide other benefits beyond MFL
protection
• Design and benefits assessment of longterm project would be part of the
preliminary design report (near-term
measure)
Projects and Measures:
Summary
• Total volume for all projects and measures:
> 25 mgd
• Total capital: ~ $87 million plus cost of longterm recharge project
• When fully implemented, estimated benefits
of the proposed projects and measures meet
the Brooklyn, Cowpen, Geneva, and Grandin
proposed re-evaluated MFLs and support
projected 2030 water use demands.
Projects and Measures:
Summary
• Near-, mid-, and long-term project
designations reflect phased implementation
approach.
• May not need long-term project, depending
on benefits achieved from implementation of
near- and mid-term projects.
• Detailed assessment and need for long-term
project would occur during 5-year review.
Strategy Implementation
• Strategy implementation will occur largely
through the existing District Consumptive
Use Permitting program.
• Existing regulatory authority is sufficient to
implement the Prevention/Recovery
Strategy.
• Rulemaking to be conducted in support of
CUPCon and supports Prevention/
Recovery Strategy implementation.
Next Steps
• Continue to refine the project options in the
draft plan
• Continue implementation of near-term
project options
• Prepare draft plan document for review as
part of MFL rulemaking process
• Approve Prevention/Recovery Strategy
concurrent with MFL rule adoption
