Rulemaking Completed: Wastewater Management in the Wekiva Study Area

 

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has completed rulemaking that created a rule governing wastewater management in the Wekiva Study Area. This rulemaking resulted from enactment of Senate Bill 908 in 2005, which enabled the DEP to adopt rules implementing the specific recommendations of the December 2004 report A Strategy for Water Quality Protection: Wastewater Treatment in the Wekiva Study Area (6.5 MB).
