Résumé

This Part of Chapter 369 of the Florida Statutes is known as the Wekiva Parkway Protection Act. The intent of the Act is to implement the recommendations of the Wekiva River Basin Coordinating Committee to achieve the objective of improving and assuring protection of surface water and groundwater resources. The Act defines the “Wekiva Parkway” as any limited access highway or expressway constructed between State Road 429 and Interstate 4. The Act provides that the Wekiva Parkway and related transportation facilities shall follow the design criteria contained in the recommendations of the Wekiva River Basin Area Task Force adopted by reference by the Wekiva River Basin Coordinating Committee subject to reasonable environmental, economic, and engineering considerations. The Act further defines the boundaries of the Wekiva Study Area and requires the Department of Environmental Protection to study the efficacy and applicability of water quality and wastewater treatment standards needed to achieve nitrogen reductions protective of surface and groundwater quality within the Wekiva Study Area. The Act also requires each local government within the Wekiva Study Area to develop a master stormwater management plan, and to develop wastewater facility plan for joint planning areas and utility service areas where central wastewater systems are not readily available; and to amend their local government comprehensive plans. The Act also provides for coordination of land use and water supply within the Wekiva Study Area. Finally, the Act creates and adopts the procedural rules for the Wekiva River Basin Commission that will monitor and ensure the implementation of the recommendations of the Wekiva River Basin Coordinating Committee for the Wekiva Study Area.
